FAQPage Schema
How do I automate post-merge verification for GitHub issues?

Post-merge verification is automated by validating acceptance criteria against the merged PR and updating the corresponding GitHub issue checkboxes. Running a verify command against the issue number triggers the script-based verification steps and posts a structured summary.

What is the best way to update issue checkboxes after a pull request merge?

Updating issue checkboxes after a pull request merge is handled automatically by validating the defined acceptance criteria. The workflow checks the post-merge state, reflects the verification results in the checkbox list, and posts a summary for stakeholders.

Can I auto-retry failed acceptance criteria checks before escalating to manual verification?

Auto-retry for failed acceptance criteria checks is supported before escalating to manual verification. The workflow handles partial results during the post-merge flow, automatically attempting retries and only escalating when automated verification cannot confirm the conditions.

Does post-merge verification work with pre-merge pull request workflows?

Post-merge verification works with both pre-merge and post-merge pull request workflows. It ensures consistent quality across projects by validating acceptance criteria throughout the GitHub issue and PR lifecycle, applying script-based verification steps defined in the domain files.

How do I trigger the post-merge verification process for a specific GitHub issue?

Triggering the post-merge verification process requires running the verify command followed by the specific issue number. This executes the frontmatter-driven discovery and script-based verification steps to validate the conditions and update the issue tracking.
