fix: skip forced-update scan on fetch to avoid multi-minute stalls

Situation

• Compliance: n/a
• Tests: green
• Configured checks: check (informational: pass), test (macos-latest) (test: pass), test (ubuntu-latest) (test: pass), test (windows-latest) (test: pass)
• Freshness: complete target observation as of 2026-08-01T03:59:05Z
• Notes: compliance=n/a tests=green

Related work

Note

Related-work context is truncated (comparison_incomplete): comparison across open pull requests is incomplete, so a relation may be missed; this says nothing about the target itself. The candidate list, shared paths, and references are advisory display only and never an overlap or action gate.

• kunchenguid/treehouse#41 - feat(pool)!: key pool identity by repository and support bare repos - exact shared path: internal/git/git_test.go

Advisory context only. Shared paths and references are not an auto-merge overlap gate.

Auto-merge criteria

Note

Read-only preflight from the authoritative auto-merge evaluator. A displayed MET result never authorizes a merge: Wheelhouse re-evaluates every gate and performs G7 immediately before acting.

Scope

• ✅ MET Scope - merge-ready PR review - kind=pr-review bucket=merge-ready

Safety

• ✅ MET Safety - complete healthy scan - repo scan is ok, complete, and mergeability settled
• ✅ MET Safety - target PR is open - target PR is open and unmerged
• ✅ MET Safety - no per-PR auto-merge opt-out - wheelhouse:no-auto-merge is absent
• ✅ MET Safety - head SHA unchanged - scan and live head ffde25c2

G0 (repo)

• ✅ MET G0 - repository auto-merge enabled - enabled by effective repository policy
• ✅ MET G0 - default-branch VISION.md present - default-branch VISION.md dcc4129a

G1 (card)

• ✅ MET G1 - trusted unique decision card - trusted unique machine-created card [treehouse#63] fix: skip forced-update scan on fetch to avoid multi-minute stalls #609
• ✅ MET G1 - card published after triage - decision controls are published
• ⚪ UNAVAILABLE G1 - exclusive card claim - claim is acquired and revalidated only at the act boundary

G2 (files)

• ✅ MET G2 - complete immutable file list - 2 immutable changed path entries read
• ✅ MET G2 - workflow and security exclusions clear - no unconditional workflow/security/governance exclusions

G3 (author)

• ✅ MET G3 - non-maintainer human contributor - Walid-peach is a non-maintainer human
• ❌ UNMET G3 - prior merged contribution in this repo - G3 author Walid-peach has no prior merged PR in treehouse

G4 (checks)

• ✅ MET G4 - configured checks green - comp=n/a tests=green (merge-ready)
• ✅ MET G4 - PR mergeable - live mergeable is MERGEABLE
• ✅ MET G4 - merge state clean - live merge state is CLEAN

G5 (size)

• ✅ MET G5 - changed-file limit - 2 changed files <= 20
• ✅ MET G5 - changed-line limit - 47 changed lines <= 1000

G6 (triage + behavior)

• ✅ MET G6 - automatic triage credential configured - model credential is configured; card triage eligibility is evaluated separately
• ❌ UNMET G6 - successful triage for current head - current assessment is not admitted for its observation/head
• ❌ UNMET G6 - top-level recommendation is merge - no valid agent recommendation was established: the advisory assessment was not admitted
• ⚪ UNAVAILABLE G6 - eligible behavior class - behavior semantic admission evidence unavailable
• ✅ MET G6 - existing/default behavior unchanged - no existing/default behavior change
• ✅ MET G6 - class C is opt-in and default-off - not applicable to class A
• VISION.md-dependent checks
  • ✅ MET G6 - behavior aligns with VISION.md - alignment confirmed
  • ✅ MET G6 - behavior verdict recommends merge - merge recommended
  • ✅ MET G6 - verdict uses current VISION.md revision - verdict and default branch use dcc4129a
  • ✅ MET G6 - verdict uses current base revision - verdict and live base use 81cc0017

G7 (final gate)

• ⚪ UNAVAILABLE G7 - immediate live recheck and manual merge gate - runs only immediately before merge: card claim, VISION, head/base, mergeability, checks, opt-out label, and unchanged manual workflow gate

Triage

• Summary: Adds --no-show-forced-updates to the internal git fetch call so treehouse skips git's expensive post-fetch forced-update scan, which previously caused multi-minute stalls on some repos.
• Product implications: Routine internal performance fix, not owner discussion-worthy: it changes only an internal git invocation flag, adds a regression test, and does not alter any command output, flags, or user-visible behavior since the suppressed warning was never surfaced by treehouse anyway.

Your decision

Tick one box for a quick call, or reply with a slash-command (/merge, /close, /decline <reason>, /hold, /comment <text>, /request-changes <text>):

• Merge it
• Close / decline
• Investigate - deep code-grounded review (leaves this card open)
• Hold - I'll handle this manually
