+# A pull request that goes green merges itself.
+#
+# ── Why this does the waiting itself ────────────────────────────────────────
+# GitHub has a feature for exactly this, and we cannot have it. Auto-merge and
+# rulesets are GitHub Team and Enterprise on an organisation's private
+# repositories, and Allow auto-merge is greyed out in this repository's
+# settings. Their own rulesets page is explicit: "A ruleset is a named list of
+# rules that applies to a repository or to multiple repositories in an
+# organisation for customers on GitHub Team and GitHub Enterprise plans."
+# The day this package goes public that stops being true, and this file can be
+# replaced by two settings.
+#
+# So there is no required-check list to lean on, and this file has to decide
+# what green means. It decides the only way that does not drift: **every check
+# on the commit, whatever it is called.** Not a list somebody has to remember to
+# update. A job added to ci.yml is waited for the day it is added.
+#
+# Every refusal below ends in "do not merge", so the direction of any mistake is
+# a pull request that sits there rather than one that ships.
+#
+#   - Nothing has reported yet, or something is still running.
+#   - Anything concluded other than success, skipped or neutral.
+#   - Nothing reported at all. A commit with no checks is not a green commit.
+#   - The pull request is a draft. An agent opens its pull request as a draft,
+#     so draft is the hold and Ready for review is the act that means ship it.
+#   - The head is a fork's branch. Its checks ran code the fork wrote, and this
+#     package is meant to be public, so that is the ordinary case here rather
+#     than the exception.
+#
+# No deploy hangs off a merge here: knap-mcp-admin ships from a tag-pinned
+# dependency, not from this branch. The file is the same shape as the one in the
+# other three repositories on purpose, including AUTOMERGE_TOKEN, a fine-grained
+# personal access token scoped to this repository with Contents and Pull
+# requests write. The runner's own GITHUB_TOKEN is not used: a push it makes
+# starts no workflow run, which costs nothing here and costs the whole deploy in
+# knap-mcp-admin, so both repositories do the same thing for one reason rather
+# than two things for none.
+#
+# ── The one list that does need maintaining ─────────────────────────────────
+# `workflows:` below is what wakes this file up, not what it waits for. Add a
+# workflow that runs on pull requests and it should go in the list, or the last
+# check to finish may be one that wakes nobody and the pull request waits
+# forever. Getting it wrong cannot merge something early; it can only fail to
+# merge at all.
+#
+# workflow_run also only ever runs the copy of this file on the default branch,
+# so this does nothing until it is merged, including on its own pull request.
+#
+# The reasoning is recorded as ADR-0056 in knap-mcp-admin.
