Description

Adds a daily scheduled workflow that auto-approves open PRs from repo OWNER/MEMBER after 3 days without review. This eliminates waste from waiting on reviews that never come.

How it works

Day Label applied Action
0 \merge-in-3-days-without-review\ Countdown starts
1 \merge-in-2-days-without-review\ Label updated
2 \merge-in-1-day-without-review\ Final warning
3 \merged-without-review\ PR approved + auto-merge enabled

Safety guards

  • Only OWNER/MEMBER PRs — external contributor PRs are never touched
  • Skips already-approved PRs — if someone reviewed, the countdown stops
  • Labels are idempotent — created on first run if missing
  • Runs daily at 08:00 UTC + manual \workflow_dispatch\ trigger
  • Uses existing auto-merge — \gh pr merge --auto --squash\ so CI must still pass

New labels (distinct from legacy labels)

  • \merge-in-3-days-without-review\ (green)
  • \merge-in-2-days-without-review\ (yellow)
  • \merge-in-1-day-without-review\ (red-ish)
  • \merged-without-review\ (dark orange)

Prerequisite

Auto-merge must be enabled in repo settings (Settings > General > Allow auto-merge).

Adds a daily scheduled workflow (08:00 UTC, also manual trigger) that
auto-approves open PRs from repo OWNER/MEMBER after 3 days without review.

Countdown labels give reviewers clear visibility:
  Day 0 -> merge-in-3-days-without-review
  Day 1 -> merge-in-2-days-without-review
  Day 2 -> merge-in-1-day-without-review
  Day 3 -> approved + merged-without-review (auto-merge takes over)

PRs that already have an approving review are skipped.
