# Land - Drive a PR to green + merged

Takes an **already-open PR** and shepherds it to done: green CI, all review threads resolved, approved, merged, tracking issue closed. Spends **zero model tokens idling** — waits by arming background watchers that wake on real events, never by polling on a timer.

This is the canonical review/CI-iteration loop. `/work` opens a PR then hands off here; `/yolo` can hand off here when a PR flow is wanted. It also stands alone: `/land 47`, `/land <url>`, or `/land` on a branch that already has a PR.

**Config:** reads `.claude/tracker.json` (or legacy `.claude/linear.json`) at the repo root if present — see `linear-common/COMMON.md` (sibling skill, same skills root). No config needed to just land a PR; config only adds tracker-issue closing and `remoteHost` selection.

## 1. Resolve the target

**Forge** — pick the API:
- `remoteHost` from config if set (`github` / `gitea`).
- Else infer from `git remote get-url origin`: `github.com` → **github**; anything else (e.g. `git.naps.pt`) → **gitea**.

**PR number `N`:**
- From `$ARGUMENTS` if a number or URL was given (parse the trailing number from a URL).
- Else the PR for the current branch:
  - github: `gh pr view --json number --jq .number`
  - gitea: `curl -sS -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" "$BASE/api/v1/repos/$REPO/pulls?state=open&head=<owner>:<branch>" | jq -r '.[0].number'`
- If none found, tell the user there's no open PR for this branch and stop. Do **not** open one — that's `/work`'s job.

**Derive** (used throughout):
- github: `OWNER`/`REPO` from origin. Set with `gh`.
- gitea: `BASE=$remoteBaseUrl` (or the origin host), `REPO=<owner>/<repo>` from origin, `$GITEA_TOKEN` in env (`source ~/.env.claude` if missing). Never put the token in a URL.
- **Tracking issue `REF`** (optional): parse `Closes <REF>` / `Closes #<n>` from the PR body. Used only to mark the issue done after merge; skip silently if absent.

Then run the variant for your forge below. Both share these **terminal conditions** (all must hold before merge):
- CI checks pass
- All review threads resolved
- Approved, no pending review requests

## 2. Efficiency rules (both variants)

- **Baseline once.** Right after resolving `N`, snapshot existing review-comment IDs to `<git-dir>/pr-<N>-seen`. Every later pass processes only IDs not in that file — handled feedback is never re-read. Guard it so a re-entry after a wake never truncates + reseeds (that would reprocess everything).
- **Wake on events, not a clock.** CI is minutes; human review is hours. Block a background watcher (Bash `run_in_background` for one-shot "CI done"; `Monitor persistent` for the whole review window) and stay idle until something actually happens. Handle exactly what the watcher reports, then re-arm.
- **Stall guard.** A watcher must never hang forever on a stuck pipeline. Bound every CI wait: if no check appears within ~3 min of a push, or a run sits in-progress past a sane ceiling (default ~20 min, or the repo's known CI duration ×2), **stop waiting and surface it to the user** — don't keep idling. Silence is not success.
- **Fix everything.** Every unresolved thread gets an action — a code fix or a reply. Bot reviewers (crit, CodeRabbit, Copilot, etc.) count. Don't merge over an unaddressed thread.

---

## GitHub variant

**Baseline** (once — guard against re-entry):
```bash
seen="$(git rev-parse --git-dir)/pr-<N>-seen"
if [ ! -f "$seen" ]; then
  gh api graphql -f query='{repository(owner:"<OWNER>",name:"<REPO>"){pullRequest(number:<N>){reviewThreads(first:100){nodes{comments(first:50){nodes{id}}}}}}}' \
    --jq '.data.repository.pullRequest.reviewThreads.nodes[].comments.nodes[].id' > "$seen" 2>/dev/null || : > "$seen"
fi
```

**Wait for CI** (after every push): block in the background — one wake when checks reach a terminal state. Do NOT poll `statusCheckRollup` in a loop.
```
# Bash run_in_background: true
gh pr checks <N> --watch --fail-fast
```
- Exit 0 → CI green, move on.
- Non-zero → CI failed. Read only the failing job: `gh run view <run-id> --log-failed`. Fix, commit, push, re-arm this watcher.
- No checks appear within the stall window → surface to user (see stall guard).

**Wait for review comments** (whole review window): arm one persistent Monitor that emits a line per *new* comment on any unresolved thread, with its thread id.
```bash
# Monitor persistent: true
seen="$(git rev-parse --git-dir)/pr-<N>-seen"; touch "$seen"
while true; do
  gh api graphql -f query='{repository(owner:"<OWNER>",name:"<REPO>"){pullRequest(number:<N>){reviewThreads(first:100){nodes{id isResolved comments(first:50){nodes{id author{login} body}}}}}}}' \
    --jq '.data.repository.pullRequest.reviewThreads.nodes[]|select(.isResolved==false)|.id as $tid|.comments.nodes[]|"\(.id)\t\($tid)\t\(.author.login): \(.body)"' 2>/dev/null \
  | while IFS=$'\t' read -r cid tid rest; do grep -qxF "$cid" "$seen" || { echo "NEW COMMENT $cid (thread $tid) — $rest"; echo "$cid" >> "$seen"; }; done
  sleep 30
done
```

On each `NEW COMMENT` event (`<cid>` = comment id, `<tid>` = thread):
- **Valid feedback**: fix the code, commit, push (re-triggers the CI watcher).
- **Misunderstanding**: reply explaining, and **immediately record your reply's own id** so the watcher never treats it as new feedback:
  ```bash
  rid=$(gh api repos/<OWNER>/<REPO>/pulls/<N>/comments/<cid>/replies -f body="<reply>" --jq .id)
  echo "$rid" >> "$seen"
  ```
- Resolve the addressed thread (also stops it re-emitting):
  ```
  gh api graphql -f query='mutation { resolveReviewThread(input: {threadId: "<tid>"}) { thread { isResolved } } }'
  ```

**Stop** (`TaskStop` the Monitor) when the terminal condition holds: CI green, approved, no pending review requests (`gh pr view <N> --json reviewDecision,reviewRequests,reviews`), all threads resolved.

**Merge.** A long review loop moves the base, so update first, let CI re-run, then merge:
```bash
gh pr update-branch <N> 2>/dev/null || true   # rebase/merge default into the PR branch if behind
# if it updated, the CI watcher re-arms on the new head; wait for green again before merging
gh pr merge <N> --squash --delete-branch
```
Use `--auto` if branch protection requires it: `gh pr merge <N> --squash --auto --delete-branch`.

## Gitea variant

Requires `$GITEA_TOKEN` and `remoteBaseUrl` (or origin host). Set `BASE`, `REPO`, `$GITEA_TOKEN`, `N` in the environment first. Gitea has no `--watch`, no GraphQL, no per-thread resolve — same principle, plain REST.

**Baseline** (once — guard against re-entry): seed with existing review/issue comment ids.
```bash
seen="$(git rev-parse --git-dir)/pr-$N-seen"
if [ ! -f "$seen" ]; then
  { curl -sS -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" "$BASE/api/v1/repos/$REPO/issues/$N/comments"; \
    curl -sS -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" "$BASE/api/v1/repos/$REPO/pulls/$N/reviews"; } 2>/dev/null \
  | jq -r '.[]?.id' > "$seen" || : > "$seen"
fi
```

**Wait for CI** (after every push): one Monitor that polls the head commit's combined status and exits on any terminal state. Covers success *and* failure.
```bash
# Monitor persistent: false (one-shot); re-arm after each push
SHA=$(curl -sS -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" "$BASE/api/v1/repos/$REPO/pulls/$N" | jq -r .head.sha)
while true; do
  # combined state aggregates ALL contexts (lint + test + ...), not just the newest single status
  st=$(curl -sS -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" "$BASE/api/v1/repos/$REPO/commits/$SHA/status" | jq -r '.state // "pending"')
  case "$st" in success|failure|error) echo "CI $st"; break;; esac
  sleep 30
done
```
On `CI failure`/`CI error`: read the failing job's log, fix, commit, push, re-arm. Apply the stall guard — bound the wait.

**Wait for review comments** (whole window): persistent Monitor emitting each new review/issue comment since the last check.
```bash
# Monitor persistent: true
seen="$(git rev-parse --git-dir)/pr-$N-seen"; touch "$seen"
while true; do
  { curl -sS -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" "$BASE/api/v1/repos/$REPO/issues/$N/comments"; \
    curl -sS -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" "$BASE/api/v1/repos/$REPO/pulls/$N/reviews"; } 2>/dev/null \
  | jq -r '.[]? | "\(.id)\t\(.user.login): \(.body // .content // "")"' \
  | while IFS=$'\t' read -r id rest; do grep -qxF "$id" "$seen" || { echo "NEW $id — $rest"; echo "$id" >> "$seen"; }; done
  sleep 30
done
```

On each `NEW` event:
- **Valid feedback**: fix the code, commit, push (re-arms the CI watcher).
- **Misunderstanding**: reply, and record your reply's own id so it isn't re-surfaced:
  ```bash
  rid=$(curl -sS -X POST -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    "$BASE/api/v1/repos/$REPO/issues/$N/comments" -d "$(jq -nc --arg body "<reply>" '{body:$body}')" | jq -r .id)
  echo "$rid" >> "$seen"
  ```
- Gitea has no per-thread resolve — signal addressed by replying with a short confirmation and pushing the fix.

**After approval + green CI** (`TaskStop` the review Monitor first): if the base moved, update the branch, wait for CI green again, then merge.
```bash
curl -sS -X POST -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" \
  "$BASE/api/v1/repos/$REPO/pulls/$N/update" >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
# if it updated, re-arm the CI watcher and wait for green before merging, then:
curl -sS -X POST -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "$BASE/api/v1/repos/$REPO/pulls/$N/merge" -d '{"Do":"merge"}'
```

Never embed `$GITEA_TOKEN` in URLs or commit messages — `Authorization` header only.

---

## 3. Close out

Merging with `Closes <REF>` in the body closes the tracking issue automatically. If a `REF` was found and the issue is still open after merge, close it:
- **linear**: move the issue to "Done" (via the configured Linear MCP).
- **gitea**: `curl -sS -X PATCH -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" "$BASE/api/v1/repos/$REPO/issues/$N" -d '{"state":"closed"}'`.
- **github**: `gh issue close <n>`.

Report to the user: PR merged, branch deleted, issue closed, and a one-line summary of what feedback was addressed.
