Twinned from https://github.com/cfsh/ninefold/issues/634 by tools/beads/import_github.py's reconcile pass.
Unclaimed / unlabelled — inert backlog. Filed by nf-dev-argo while building PR #633.
#633 adds Tier-1 merge authority to merge_pr.py: a PR inside the perimeter with a green reviewer verdict at head merges with no human approval. --why <n> answers the question for one PR.
Nothing surfaces it across the queue. A session's poll tick reads the digest, and the digest has no line saying "this PR would merge right now on Tier 1". So the mechanism exists and nothing routinely triggers it — a session would have to run --why per PR, per tick, to find out.
The natural shape: poll.py prints a T1 marker beside a tracked PR whose authority check passes, so the existing "approved + mergeable -> merge and drop from the file" rule gains a second trigger.
Two things to get right rather than assume:
poll.py --check is the ~5s path and deliberately skips per-issue work. The authority check costs two pr_view calls per PR, so it likely belongs in the full digest only.merge_pr.newest_verdict and poll.py:733-738 — they already agree, and a third opinion on "which verdict is current" is worse than any one of them being wrong.Blocked on nothing, but pointless until Aedan grants the ruleset bypass (see #633).
None.
