The pain

Approved pull requests can get stuck indefinitely because the cron process does not trigger for certain webhook events.

Who'd pay

Software development teams, companies managing multiple repositories, and continuous integration platforms.

Signal that triggered it

"So if the only recent inbound traffic for a repo is a `pull_request_review.approved`, no cron is ever spawned, and the PR sits in `awaiting_merge` forever."

Original post

webhook: call ensureCronProcess on every accepted event (fixes awaiting_merge stranding)

Published: 6 hours ago

The webhook server only calls ensureCronProcess on two event branches, causing pull requests to remain in awaiting_merge state indefinitely if only certain events like pull_request_review.approved occur. The fix is to call ensureCronProcess on every accepted webhook event to guarantee a cron job is running to process merges.
