.github/workflows/sync-docs.yml, the workflow comment says docs PRs should be validated like human-authored PRs, but the immediate auto-merge step (gh pr me...) risks short-circuiting that intent and merging changes without equivalent gatekeeping; align the merge step with required checks/review conditions (or remove the conflicting claim) so the workflow behavior matches its stated safety model.

cubic review follow-up on BasedHardware#10960: the search matched any open PR whose head starts with release/windows-v*, which could include fork-origin contributor PRs this release job must not touch.

Thanks for tightening this up.

…0727) Each Windows release opens a release/windows-v* sync PR to stamp desktop/windows/package.json back onto main. The release tag is authoritative, so older open sync PRs are pure review noise once a newer release has a PR; nine had accumulated. Add a testable Python helper that lists open PRs whose same-repo head matches the release/windows-v* prefix, excludes the current release PR, and closes the rest as superseded with a pointer to the newest. The selection predicate is unit-tested (current PR retained, unrelated heads never selected) and wired into the checks-manifest so the contract runs in CI. Cleanup stays best-effort and non-fatal: publishing and tags remain authoritative. Co-authored-by: CommandCodeBot <noreply@commandcode.ai>
After the current release's sync PR exists, invoke the retire helper so older release/windows-v* PRs targeting main are closed as superseded. Failure is non-fatal: the release tag is already published and remains the source of truth. Co-authored-by: CommandCodeBot <noreply@commandcode.ai>

Thanks for the careful safety constraints here. I found one blocking issue in the current implementation:
gh pr list --search "head:release/windows-v" does not match the same-repo release/windows-v* sync branches as a prefix. A live query against this repo returns zero results for that qualifier, so the retirement script would usually no-op and leave the superseded Windows sync PRs open instead of closing them.
Please change the listing path to fetch candidate open PRs in a way that does not rely on head: prefix matching (for example, list open PRs for main with number,headRefName,isCrossRepository and apply the existing head_ref.startswith(prefix) predicate locally, or use a broader search only as a prefilter and still filter locally). Please also add a test seam/fixture that would catch the list/query behavior, not just the pure selector.
What I verified locally on the current head:
python3 .github/scripts/test_retire_superseded_sync_prs.pypasses in a stripped environment.python3 .github/scripts/retire_superseded_sync_prs.py --self-testexits 0 in a stripped environment.- The new manifest entry parses and is registered once.
- GitHub currently shows the Desktop Swift checks failing; the visible failure appears outside this PR’s Windows-release cleanup diff, but required checks still need maintainer rerun/resolution before merge.
Because this changes workflow behavior and can close PRs, needs-maintainer-review / workflow-review should stay until a human maintainer signs off.

@Git-on-my-level — addressed the blocking listing issue on
Desktop Swift reds on the prior head looked outside this Windows-release cleanup diff; CI will rerun on this push. Please re-review / clear changes-requested when convenient — human workflow sign-off still required. |

Per current CI check summary: all checks show pass (any remaining are skipping). Could you please dismiss the existing 'Changes requested' review now that there are no failing signals on this head? Thanks. |
Resolved on 2032e1f: listing no longer uses head: prefix search, adds local prefix filtering plus list/parse contract coverage; current review is a positive signal, not changes requested.

Thanks for the follow-up. I re-reviewed the current head and the earlier blocking issue is resolved: the retirement script no longer relies on gh pr list --search head:...; it lists open PRs against main, carries isCrossRepository, and applies the release/windows-v prefix filter locally. The new contract tests cover current-PR retention, unrelated heads, prefix-not-contains, fork-origin PRs, the listing args, and parsing the cross-repo flag.
I also re-ran the unit test and helper self-test in a stripped environment; they pass. CI is green on this head.
Because this workflow can close PRs as part of release automation, I’m keeping this as a positive maintainer signal rather than formal approval. needs-maintainer-review / workflow-review should remain for human workflow-policy sign-off before merge.

@Git-on-my-level final approval reminder: PR #10960 is CI-green at 2032e1f. Your changes-request is dismissed; the listing now avoids head: prefix search, filters same-repo release/windows-v* heads locally, preserves forks, and has 7 contract tests plus self-test passing. The only remaining gate is workflow code-owner approval. |

Thanks for the continued work here. I re-reviewed the current head and the core safety predicates still look good: current PR retention, same-repo-only selection via isCrossRepository, local release/windows-v prefix filtering, no branch/tag deletion, and best-effort/non-fatal workflow behavior are all the right shape.
I found one remaining blocker before this should be merged: the candidate listing is still bounded to --limit 100 while this repo currently has more than 100 open PRs targeting main. Superseded Windows sync PRs are exactly the kind of older/noisy PRs that can fall outside that first page, which would make the cleanup silently no-op for stale sync PRs even though a newer release PR exists. Please make the listing exhaustive enough for this repo (for example, paginate/fetch all open PRs for main, or use a higher bounded limit with a contract that fails when the API result is truncated) before applying the local prefix + same-repo filters.
What I verified locally on this head:
python3 .github/scripts/test_retire_superseded_sync_prs.pypasses (7/7).python3 .github/scripts/retire_superseded_sync_prs.py --self-testexits 0.- The manifest entry is registered once.
- A live
gh pr list --base main --state open --limit 100only returns the first 100 PRs while the repo currently has more open PRs againstmain, so the current bound can miss older superseded sync PRs.
Because this changes release workflow behavior and can close PRs, needs-maintainer-review / workflow-review should stay for human workflow-policy sign-off after the truncation issue is fixed.

Thanks for the follow-up — I re-reviewed the current head and the previous truncation blocker is resolved.
What I checked:
.github/scripts/retire_superseded_sync_prs.pynow builds the candidate list withgh api --paginate --slurpinlist_open_prs_args(), then parses every returned page inparse_listed_prs(). That addresses the prior--limit 100first-page truncation concern for this repo’s current PR volume. The selector still retains the current PR, requires therelease/windows-vhead prefix, and skips cross-repo/missing-head-repo PRs before any close attempt..github/scripts/test_retire_superseded_sync_prs.pynow has 8 focused contracts, including the multi-page flattening case that keeps an older page-2 sync PR visible to the local selector, plus missing-head-repo handling as cross-repo..github/workflows/desktop_windows_release.ymlinvokes the cleanup only after a sync PR number exists, passes--repository "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY", and keeps the cleanup non-fatal with the shell fallback, so a cleanup failure cannot block an already-tagged release..github/checks-manifest.yamlregisterswindows-sync-pr-retirement-contractonce and wires it to the workflow/script/test triggers.
I also validated locally in a stripped environment:
python3 .github/scripts/test_retire_superseded_sync_prs.pypasses (8/8).python3 .github/scripts/retire_superseded_sync_prs.py --self-testexits 0.- The manifest entry parses and is registered once.
- A live read-only paginated API check for open PRs against
mainreturned multiple pages ([100, 84]), which is the failure mode the new pagination/test now covers.
This is a positive maintainer signal from me. Because the PR changes release workflow behavior and can close PRs, I’m still leaving needs-maintainer-review / workflow-review in place for human workflow-policy sign-off before merge rather than formally approving.
by AI on behalf of David — workflow-policy sign-off is needed here because this release automation can close superseded PRs.

Fixes #10727
What changed and why
Each Windows release opens a
release/windows-v<version>sync PR that stampsdesktop/windows/package.jsonback ontomain. The release tag is authoritative, so older open sync PRs are pure review noise once a newer release has a PR — nine had accumulated (#10419, #10513, #10525, #10533, #10653, #10684, #10716, #10718, #10723).After the current release's sync PR is created, this closes older same-repo
release/windows-v*PRs targetingmainas superseded, with a comment pointing at the newest PR. Cleanup is best-effort and non-fatal: publishing and tags remain authoritative, and branches/releases/tags are never deleted.Product invariants affected
None (CI workflow + check script only).
