Merge Queue Readiness

Trigger

Before adding the PR to the merge queue (or before the final push if the repo uses a merge queue).

Protocol

Fetch latest main: git fetch origin main
Run the simulation command (preferred):
```
/swarm ci-simulate [<pr-ref>]
```
The optional positional <pr-ref> is the PR branch/ref to simulate (defaults to the current branch). It does NOT accept --base/--head flags. The command runs fixed local gates: bun run typecheck, bun run lint, bun run build, then a full-batch bun test. It creates a temporary detached worktree under os.tmpdir()/swarm-ci-simulate (a SIBLING of the project root, not project-relative), merges the PR ref, runs the gate sequence, removes the worktree, and prunes metadata. It does not accept arbitrary shell commands and does NOT replicate CI's quarantine/retry semantics — it is a fast pre-merge signal, not a CI parity check.
Manual fallback: If the command is unavailable, create a temporary simulation worktree (do NOT mutate the PR branch). The default worktree base is a SIBLING of the project root (<parent>/.swarm-worktrees/), overridable via the worktree_dir config; on Windows, very long paths may be shortened to os.tmpdir()/swwt/.... Place the worktree under that base. Do NOT hardcode /tmp — it does not exist on Windows.
```
git worktree add ../.swarm-worktrees/merge-sim origin/main
cd ../.swarm-worktrees/merge-sim
git merge <pr-branch> --no-edit
```
Run integration + unit tests against the merged result:
```
bun test tests/integration --timeout 120000
bun test tests/unit --timeout 120000
```
(Use per-file loops for hot modules per AGENTS.md invariant 6)
If failures: Fix on the PR branch, re-push, re-simulate. Always run the cleanup step (6) before re-simulating or on any exit path — do not leave the simulation worktree behind.
Cleanup for manual fallback (run on EVERY exit path, including failure): Prefer non-force git worktree remove ../.swarm-worktrees/merge-sim. If the removal is blocked or fails, surface the block to the user (the worktree guard fails closed for safety) and run git worktree prune.
Only after simulation passes, add PR to the merge queue.

Why this matters

PR-branch CI and merge-group CI test DIFFERENT things:

PR-branch: tests the PR head commit in isolation
Merge-group: tests a temporary merge of PR head + latest main

Integration tests that pass on the PR branch may fail in merge-group context due to test interactions exposed by the merged result.

Automation

/swarm ci-simulate automates the merge-result worktree, merge, command run, worktree removal, and metadata prune. Use the manual protocol only when the command is unavailable or the repo needs bespoke setup.
