Run the pr-watch-fix loop in parallel across every open Renovate-bot PR, each in its own git worktree. Use to green-light or triage all dependency-update PRs at once.
Handle CVE/vulnerability reports from security linters (trivy, osv-scanner, etc.). Tries to upgrade first; ignores only when safe and justified; disables an unmaintained linter (with user confirmation) when a dangerous CVE has no fix.
Watch the GitHub PR for the current branch, wait for CI to finish, and autonomously fix failing jobs by reading logs, editing sources, and pushing. Stops cleanly when stuck.
Prepare a MegaLinter release — update CHANGELOG (prune empty sections, collapse linter versions, backfill PR numbers), run the release build, push commit and tag, and guide GitHub release creation.
