pr-pipeline: agents push and label as the GitHub App identity #7558
Description
Parent
Refs #7555. Source: PLAN Phase 0, topic poteto-review. Thread: Agent App identity (deferred).
Depends on
- none (parked: opens on the reopen trigger below, not on an edge)
Reopen trigger
The parked agent-only distro plan (the plan that makes "owner identity = human" provable on a WSL
host) is taken up.
Outcome
When reopened: agents push and label as the GitHub App identity rather than the owner's account.
Decisions
- Deferred: agents push and label as the GitHub App identity (Q11, D57a). Origin: ours.
- Interim, in force now: pr-merge ignores owner-account labels and body edits and trusts CI
identities and content signals (D57a). - Options on record: App identity now (D57) versus an agent-only distro with 9 phases to make
"owner identity = human" provable on WSL (D57a).
Key interfaces
None (the design's module layout lists "Agent App identity" under deferred, no module change yet).
Done when
- The reopen trigger has fired and is cited in a comment.
- Slices are filed under this item from that plan.
Out of scope
- Changing the interim pr-merge trust rule.

Understood: this is a parked Feature. Agents would push and label as the GitHub App identity instead of the owner's account. It opens only when the agent-only distro plan is taken up. The interim pr-merge trust rule stays as it is. I found no sign that the reopen trigger has fired, so the done-when items (cite the trigger, then file slices) are not ready to work. I found no likely duplicates in the open issues. #7207 is already linked as a sub-issue.
Automated triage. A maintainer reviews it.

Released for re-triage under the owner's 2026-10-24 rule: an issue stops for a person only for an intent or vision question, a security call, a host or attended run, or spend outside prepaid credit. The hold label came off and intake triage runs again now; it re-applies a hold, with a numbered question, when one of those applies.
To hold this issue again, add
needs-human(orstatus: needs-decision) and say why in a comment.melodic-automation-lanes commentedon Oct 24, 2026
