merge.rs

//! Merge-back: deliver the worktree's changes.
//!
//! Three destinations, by session kind:
//! - **Raw repo** ([`publish_branch`]): the worktree gets one squash commit
//!   (authored as `car-coder` — honest attribution) and the only thing that
//!   touches the user's repository is `git branch car/coder/<id> <commit>`.
//!   Branches are shared across worktrees, so this never disturbs the user's
//!   checkout, index, or any existing ref; reverting is `git branch -D`.
//! - **Managed project** ([`commit_to_main`]): the project is fully CAR-owned,
//!   so there is no separate "user working tree" to protect — approve commits
//!   straight to the project's `main` (fast-forward only). The non-dev sees
//!   "Saved", not a branch to merge; reverting is ordinary git history.
//! - **Headless / pull request** ([`deliver_pr`]): nobody is at the approval
//!   gate, and the next round is a fresh session that will only ever see what
//!   is on GitHub. The runtime commits, pushes append-only to a branch that is
//!   stable across sessions, and reconciles exactly one pull request for it.

/// to tell it apart from a commit that genuinely failed. It used to do that with
/// `Err(e) if e.contains("no changes to deliver")`, and that phrase is not the
/// exclusive property of the clean-worktree check: [`git`] formats every failure
/// as `git {args:?} failed: {stderr}`, and the commit argv carries `subject` and
/// `body`, both derived from the caller's `intent`. An intent that merely
/// MENTIONS the phrase — "fix delivery so it reports 'no changes to deliver'
/// correctly" is ordinary work in this repo — turned a real commit failure
/// (`commit.gpgsign` with no agent, a shared `pre-commit` hook) into the
/// re-delivery branch: the previous commit was pushed, the pull-request body was
/// refreshed, and delivery returned `Ok` while the round's actual work sat
/// uncommitted in the worktree. A typed variant cannot be spelled by a caller.

///   got the chance to run. Now anchored on HTTP phrasing, which a branch or
///   repository name cannot produce.
/// - Git's actual permission wording is `Permission to <repo> denied to <user>`,
///   which does NOT contain the contiguous phrase `permission denied`, so a
///   genuine refusal matched nothing and fell through to the retriable default —
///   retried forever. The old test passed only because it used wording git does

/// that commit onto `target_branch` on `origin`, and reconciles exactly one pull
/// request for that branch.
///
/// **This is host code and it is NOT a hole in the coder's tool policy.** The
/// model's own shell tool still refuses `git push` through
/// [`super::policy`]'s `DenyGitRemoteMutation` inspector, and that inspector is
/// deliberately untouched by this function. The distinction is who is acting:

/// can escape every gate downstream of it. `deliver_pr` runs after
/// `evaluate_contract` has re-executed the checks and observed their exit codes
/// itself, on a commit the runtime made, to a branch the runtime named. Nothing
/// the model said is trusted here; only what the runtime verified. Weakening the
/// inspector to let the model push would be a hole. Pushing from the runtime,
/// after verification, is the mechanism the inspector exists to protect.
///
/// The guarantees, in order of how badly their absence would hurt:
///
/// 1. **Preflight before work.** The origin URL selects GitHub or Azure DevOps,
///    then that forge's credential is checked before anything is committed or
///    pushed. An unknown host fails with the explicit override name. Missing
///    credentials produce [`DeliveryFailure::Preflight`]. This never returns
///    success without a pull request.
/// 2. **Append/fast-forward only.** The push is a plain `<sha>:refs/heads/<b>`
///    refspec with no force flag and no leading `+` anywhere on this path (a
///    test asserts that against this file's own source text). A non-fast-forward
///    rejection is a retriable [`DeliveryFailure::Push`], and the remote is left
///    exactly as it was.
/// 3. **Base-branch update policy: MERGE.** When the base moves and the branch
///    needs updating, the policy for this delivery path is `git merge
///    origin/<base>` in the worktree — **never rebase, never force**. Rebase
///    rewrites commits a reviewer may already have read and a reviewer may
///    already have commented on; force-updating the branch can silently discard
///    a round's work. Merge is additive and cannot lose a commit. Note that
///    `deliver_pr` does not itself run the merge: it delivers what is in the
///    worktree, and bringing the base in is the round orchestrator's step
///    before the session starts. The policy is stated here because this is the
///    function whose invariants it protects.
/// 4. **One pull request per (branch, base), and at most one OPEN pull request
///    per branch.** Among the pull requests whose head is `target_branch` AND
///    whose base is `base_branch`: an open one receives the push
///    ([`PrAction::Updated`]); otherwise one is created ([`PrAction::Opened`]).
///    The pair, not the head alone, is the forge's own constraint — see
///    [`PrRecord::base`] — and it is the right granularity for choosing WHICH
///    pull request to reconcile. It is not sufficient to decide whether
///    delivering is safe at all, because a pull request tracks its HEAD: the
///    push lands in every open pull request whose head is `target_branch`,
///    whatever base each merges into, and no base filter applied afterwards can
///    take that back. So a clear head is a PRECONDITION of delivery
///    ([`delivery_head_refusal`]), checked at preflight
///    ([`DeliveryFailure::Preflight`]) before anything is committed or pushed:
///    an open pull request from this branch into any OTHER base is refused,
///    naming each number and its base. A run with a changed `--pr-base`
///    therefore delivers only once the previous pull request is closed or
///    merged; with it still open the run is refused rather than quietly adding
///    this round's commits to it.
///
///    **A CLOSED pull request into this run's own base also parks the round,
///    and the runtime never reopens it.** The runtime never closes a pull
///    request, so it is never the party entitled to undo a close, and nothing
///    at this seam tells "closed because it went stale" from "closed by a
///    reviewer who read it and said no". Until car#1055 this path reopened the
///    pull request and replaced its body, so closing one did not stop the
///    runtime; now a close is a stop, and a human reopens it to continue. A
///    MERGED pull request parks nothing: it is inert, it cannot gain commits,
///    and its branch gets a fresh pull request for the next round.
/// 5. **Draft is a create-time decision only.** `draft` is honored when a pull
