Local preloop run --event pull_request now builds a merge of the current base tip and the workspace head (including dirty-tree snapshots) and serves it to jobs. The run SHA, workflow-level expressions, and checkout use that merge; the event payload carries base/head diff coordinates. Conflicts or an unresolvable base fail instead of silently testing a different tree. --no-merge is the explicit branch-only opt-out; push events are unchanged.

Prebuilt merges are validated against their repository-bound mirror, parents, and tree before serving. This change removes the direct thiserror dependency; Cargo.lock is unchanged.

Tests cover merge parents/tree, dirty heads, conflicts, the originless escape, --no-merge, and prebuilt validation. The required live runner checkout smoke and final full gate are not yet verified.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Local pull-request runs now test the current base tip merged with your workspace changes by default. Run metadata reflects the merge commit and its base and head.
    • Use --no-merge to test your branch without merging the base.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Runs fail clearly if the base cannot be fetched or the merge has conflicts, with conflicting files reported. Push runs remain unchanged.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the CLI reference with merge behavior and base-branch selection details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Local pull_request runs can fetch the current base tip, merge it with the workspace head, and serve the merge commit to jobs. The CLI adds --no-merge. Merge snapshots record metadata, and the server can attach validated prebuilt merges. Conflicts and unavailable bases fail submission.

Changes

Local pull-request merge flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Submission options and defaults
crates/preloop-gha-protocol/src/lib.rs, crates/preloop-cli/src/main.rs, crates/preloop-runner-server/src/{dispatch.rs,github.rs,scheduler.rs}, docs/cli_reference.md, CHANGELOG.md
The protocol adds optional prebuilt-merge data and no_merge. The CLI adds --no-merge and uses the remote’s advertised default branch as the pull-request filter fallback when --base is absent. Other submission paths set explicit merge defaults.
Fetch and build merge commits
crates/preloop-runner-server/src/merge_builder.rs, crates/preloop-runner-server/src/lib.rs
The merge builder fetches base and head inputs, creates deterministic two-parent commits, reports conflicts, publishes successful merges, and validates prebuilt merge records.
Build and attach merge snapshots
crates/preloop-runner-server/src/snapshots.rs, crates/preloop-runner-server/src/merge_builder.rs, crates/preloop-runner-server/tests/security.rs, crates/preloop-runner-server/tests/webhooks.rs
Workspace snapshots can build and record local merge metadata. The server attaches built or validated prebuilt merges and manages mirror ownership. Existing snapshot tests pass the expanded function arguments.
Run metadata and validation
crates/preloop-runner-server/src/runs.rs, crates/preloop-runner-server/tests/merge.rs, crates/preloop-runner-server/tests/registration.rs, crates/preloop-runner/Cargo.toml, crates/preloop-runner/src/worker/action_preparation.rs, docs/cli_reference.md, CHANGELOG.md
Local pull-request submissions select merge inputs and fail when a requested merge cannot be built. Run and pull-request payload SHAs use merge metadata when available. Tests and documentation cover the behavior and snapshot-origin rewriting.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c8314

Local pull-request runs now test a merge of the current base tip and the workspace head. Some cases still look likely to fail: runs from dirty working trees, concurrent fetches into the shared mirror, --push publication after a passing merge run, and workspaces without a recorded remote default branch. Resolve these before merging.

The description explains the main behavior and lists several tests, but it does not follow the required template. It omits the protocol-surface declaration, required-gate statuses, detailed verification evidence, and checklist confirmations.

Resolution

Update the description with all template headings and checkboxes. State whether the runner protocol interface changed, report the required gate results, provide concrete verification commands and outputs, confirm tests and documentation updates, and record the live checkout smoke and full-gate results.

Evaluate workflow expressions after selecting the merge SHA.

For a local pull-request merge, this code evaluates the workflow concurrency group before Lines 1535-1545 replace github.sha with the merge SHA. A group such as ${{ github.sha }} therefore uses the submitted head SHA, not the SHA visible to jobs. Runs with the same head and different fetched base tips can enter the same group and cancel or block each other. The run name at Lines 1247-1254 has the same stale-context cause. Evaluate both expressions after the snapshot refresh.

Refresh the run SHA for prebuilt merges.

attach_prebuilt_merge creates a SelfBuiltMerge snapshot with merge: Some(...). The local_snapshot filter excludes it, so the SHA refresh does not run. The checkout can use the merge commit while github.sha, the run SHA, and job.workflow_sha retain the submitted SHA.

Move the SHA refresh to a path that handles every snapshot with merge.is_some(). Keep the synthetic payload rewrite restricted to LocalWorkspace snapshots.

Do not resolve a fetch-by-sha head through the shared FETCH_HEAD.

The mirror has one FETCH_HEAD file, and every git fetch into the mirror rewrites it. This includes the base fetch at Line 429 for any other request. Two requests can fetch into the same mirror at the same time. In that case, another fetch can overwrite FETCH_HEAD between this fetch and the rev_parse at Line 411. head_sha then becomes another request's commit, for example another run's base tip. No error occurs. The run merges and tests a tree that does not contain the requested head. The module states that this outcome must never occur.

The requested SHA is already known. Resolve the SHA itself after the fetch. This change also checks that the commit arrived. Validate sha with is_object_id before you pass it to git fetch as a refspec. At the moment, a value that is not a hex object id reaches git fetch as a positional argument without a check.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep the pushed head tree distinct from the tested merge tree.

When --event pull_request --push uses a dirty workspace and the base adds files, the new merge snapshot has a different tree from the head commit that push-back creates. Line 1336 records the merge tree as push_tree, but push-back verifies the published head commit against that value. The run can pass and then refuse to publish its head. Record the head tree for push verification, and retain the merge tree as the execution snapshot.

Update github.base_ref with the derived PR base.

For a local PR run without an explicit payload base, these lines add the resolved branch to github.event.pull_request.base.ref. The github object was built earlier with an empty base_ref and is not updated here. A workflow condition using github.base_ref therefore sees an empty string while the run merges that branch. Set github.base_ref from the same resolved branch.

Do not require a base-branch name to attach a prebuilt merge.

If a submission supplies a valid prebuilt_merge and the server has a local workspace, this branch rejects the request before attach_prebuilt_merge runs unless base_ref, filter_branch, or payload.pull_request.base.ref also names a branch. The prebuilt record already supplies the merge parents for attachment. Exclude prebuilt submissions from local merge-input resolution, then validate and attach the prebuilt record.

Resolve the advertised default when the local remote-HEAD ref is absent.

If a workspace has origin but no local refs/remotes/origin/HEAD, this lookup returns no branch. A plain preloop run --event pull_request then fails because the server cannot determine the merge base. Query the remote’s advertised HEAD when the local symbolic ref is absent, while keeping --base as the explicit override.

Review comment at @crates/preloop-cli/src/main.rs around lines 2915 - 2920:
Update the default-base resolution around the `symbolic-ref` lookup to query the
remote’s advertised HEAD when the local `refs/remotes/{remote}/HEAD` ref is
absent, so pull-request runs can determine a merge base. Preserve `--base` as
the explicit override and retain the existing local-ref lookup when available.
