By default, job PRs that only modify files under logs/ are automatically squash-merged. You can control this behavior with two GitHub repository variables (Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → Variables tab).
Kill switch for all auto-merging.
| Value | Behavior |
|---|---|
| (unset or any value) | Auto-merge enabled |
false |
Auto-merge disabled — all job PRs stay open for manual review |
Comma-separated path prefixes that the agent is allowed to modify and still get auto-merged. If any changed file falls outside these prefixes, the PR stays open.
| Value | Behavior |
|---|---|
| (unset) | Defaults to /logs — only log files auto-merge |
/ |
Everything allowed — all job PRs auto-merge |
/logs |
Only log changes auto-merge |
Path prefixes are matched from the repo root. A leading / is optional (logs and /logs are equivalent).
Allow all agent changes to auto-merge (original behavior):
AUTO_MERGE = (unset)
ALLOWED_PATHS = /
Require manual review for everything:
AUTO_MERGE = false
Only auto-merge log changes:
ALLOWED_PATHS = /logs
If a PR is blocked, the workflow logs which files were outside the allowed paths so you can see exactly why.
