Research direction

Read .github/scripts/pr-merge/clear-escalations.mjs, especially the CHECKS table, and the related clear-escalations.test.mjs cases. Add the requested check using the escalation resume key and unresolved lane review threads, then run that test file. Done means the moved head with no open lane thread clears, while an unchanged head or an open lane thread keeps the escalation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

priority: medium status: needs-decision work-class: scoped

Problem

clear-escalations.mjs clears a pr-unblock escalation once its reason no longer holds, but its CHECKS table (.github/scripts/pr-merge/clear-escalations.mjs:120-132) covers only workflow-staged, unresolved-conflict, protected-path-conflict and feedback-protected-path. A feedback-not-landed escalation stays labeled after the cause is gone.

Example: #9965 escalated feedback-not-landed at resume key e5183af3; the head moved to 898665b3 with no unresolved review thread left, and ci-status stayed red only on the needs-human label until a person removed it.

Owner decision (2026-10-25)

A stop is worth a person only for security, intent, or a real charge. feedback-not-landed is none of those once the head has moved.

Fix

Add a feedback-not-landed entry to CHECKS in clear-escalations.mjs: the reason no longer holds when the head differs from the escalation's resume key and no review thread the lane replied to is left unresolved. Reuse the existing clearing path; add no second mechanism.

Done when

  • clear-escalations.test.mjs covers: head moved and no open lane thread clears; head unchanged keeps; an open lane thread keeps.
