Head commit for run: ad317e4435c26aa206d668e6726828be07b2043b / mengw15 <[email protected]> ci: open a pull request for a clean backport instead of pushing it Direct Backport Push cherry-picks a cleanly-applying fix onto the release branch and pushes it. Every one of those pushes has been rejected since 2026-07-24 -- release/* is covered by the Merge Queue ruleset, which requires a pull request for everyone -- and ASF policy asks for prior Infrastructure authorization before an automated service writes a branch subject to official release. #8379 tried to exempt the Actions app from the ruleset; GitHub refuses to create that bypass, so the fast path has never once worked since it broke. Both outcomes now open a pull request. The conflicted one is unchanged: a draft, assigned to its author. A clean one opens ready for review, assigned to nobody, because there is no code for anyone to write on it. What a clean backport still needs is its checks started. GitHub creates no workflow run for anything GITHUB_TOKEN does, so a bot-opened pull request has none, and nothing will arrive on its own: with no run there is no re-run, and none of the three required workflows listens for ready_for_review. Reopening the pull request, or pushing to its branch, is what emits an event they subscribe to -- so the PR says exactly that, in the comment the conflict path already uses for its instructions. That leaves the release manager with three ordinary buttons: reopen, approve, and auto-merge if they would rather not come back for the checks. Nothing here depends on a token's pull-request scope, on an Actions bypass, or on a close/reopen the workflow performs itself -- the paths that can only be proven in production, and that fail quietly when they are wrong. push_entries is now always empty, leaving push-backports unreachable. Removing it is left to a separate change, so that this one is a behaviour change and that one is a pure deletion.
