Problem

Bots can have permission to push branches and open PRs directly in a repository while their CI runs still require human approval. T3 only looked for approval-required workflows on fork PRs, so same-repository PRs never showed the existing approval button and the approval action silently returned without doing anything.

Change

Discover and approve action-required pull-request workflows for both fork and same-repository PRs. Preserve the existing repository/branch/head-SHA scoping, unique-PR checks, bounded reads, per-run head revalidation, and viewer permission gate. The existing web/desktop and mobile approval controls consume the corrected count and action; no client or wire-contract changes are needed.

Workflow-run decoding preserves associated PR numbers in fresh and cached reads. Only runs explicitly associated with the requested PR are counted or approved, and that association is checked again before each approval. If GitHub omits the association, approval is refused and discovery reports an unknown approval state. Regression coverage includes unrelated runs sharing the branch/SHA, missing associations, and an association changing before approval.

Scope and approval

This is a focused correction to the existing GitHub workflow-approval capability: branch location should not prevent an otherwise approval-required PR workflow from being discovered or approved. It removes the fork-only assumption in discovery and execution without adding another approval mechanism or changing permissions.

Verification

The new same-repository discovery and approval cases failed before the fix: discovery returned zero approvals and execution sent no approval request. Extended the existing approval, stale-head, and ambiguous-head coverage to exercise both fork and same-repository PRs.

vp run check:changed 125b61954 passed before the review-fix commit: 187 tests across four files, format, lint, both knip passes, generated GraphQL validation, and affected-package typechecks (including server, web, desktop, and mobile).

Fixture-backed protocol replay: a same-repository PR on feat/page at abc123 discovers runs 10 and 11, revalidates the PR and pending runs before each write, and sends POSTs to /repos/acme/web/actions/runs/10/approve and /repos/acme/web/actions/runs/11/approve. A moved head or ambiguous PR scope is refused.

Live approval against a bot-created same-repository PR and interactive client verification were not performed. GitHub's REST documentation describes the existing /approve endpoint in terms of fork PRs; this change lets GitHub decide approval eligibility instead of preemptively excluding same-repository PRs.

Approvability

Verdict: Would Approve

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Enables workflow approval for same-repository PRs while retaining explicit confirmation, access controls, and head/run revalidation. It does not automatically approve workflows or change product defaults.

Needs human approval because:

• Macroscope's correctness review did not reach a verdict

Notes:

• The correctness review was unavailable. Eligibility was assessed without its result.

Walkthrough

Workflow approval lookup now supports same-repository and cross-repository pull requests. Open pull requests can surface approval-required workflow runs as action-required checks. The API filters runs by pull-request association and rechecks the association and head before approval.

Changes: Workflow approval

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Workflow-run data and discovery packages/source-control-github/src/server/gitHubPullRequestJson.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/gitHubConditionalChecks.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubPullRequestApi.test.ts	Workflow-run data now includes associated pull-request numbers. Conditional checks fetch workflow runs for same-repository and fork pull requests. Tests cover association decoding and checks revalidation.
Approval lookup and validation packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubPullRequestApi.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubPullRequestApi.test.ts	The API matches repository status, filters runs by pull-request association, and rechecks associations and heads before approval. Tests cover both repository types and refusal cases.
Provider workflow discovery packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubPullRequestProvider.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubPullRequestProvider.test.ts	The provider queries approval-required runs for open pull requests using their actual repository status. A same-repository test verifies the action-required check.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 0a036

This change lets the approval control appear for same-repository PRs as well as fork PRs, and it only approves workflow runs tied to the requested PR. Fixture-backed tests cover both PR types, missing associations, changed heads and ambiguous matches. Live behavior against a bot-created same-repository PR was not exercised. If GitHub omits PR associations for such runs, approval is refused safely with no unintended action, so no merge-blocking risk remains.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(github): approve workflows on same-repository PRs" matches the main change. The changeset extends workflow-approval discovery and execution from fork-only PRs to same-repository PRs, and the title names that fix. It follows the conventional-commit style the template asks for.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's sections: Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification. The Problem section states the fork-only bug and its effect. The Change section explains the fix and the preserved safety checks. The Scope section explains why the change is a bug fix and not a feature. The Verification section lists the failing-before tests, the passing check run, the fixture-backed replay, and the checks not performed, and it names the model and harness. The Scope section does not link an issue, and the description does not say whether a maintainer requested the PR. Those gaps are minor, so the check passes.

Merged current main without rebasing and preserved both same-repository approval coverage and main's unfinished-workflow coverage. Updated the approval test's unfinished-run mock and retained pull-request associations in the unfinished-run decoder and fixtures.

Blacksmith vp run check:changed github/main passed: formatting, lint, knip, GraphQL validation, typecheck for 11 affected packages, and 229 tests. Two independent source reviews approved head 0a0367f9d1a7cce8d7360aa862f0409cb35d7961. GitHub reports no conflicts. The earlier bot finding remains addressed by association filtering and per-run revalidation.

GitHub CI and five companion workflows require workflow approval (action_required); CI has no logs yet. Automatic review is still pending. Live workflow approval through the client remains unverified. No merge performed.
