Delivery group fix/1966-forge-made-merge (mesh-delivery, mesh-sdk, mesh-tools, mesh-host, mesh-catalog), merged through the gate: one check, one Approve. The other four members are empty gate-record commits.
Cause
Since 2026-11-09 07:04 UTC the indexer has held every merge in one revision wait, about ten merges with every module held. indexer_take_in_pending refuses with "the forge bridge could not answer for the merge of novox/mesh-delivery#184 ... the gate's merges hold no merge ... so its pull request is not known". A merge made on the forge directly has no gate merge record: the recovery merges (mesh-delivery #184, mesh-sdk #174/#175, mesh-tools #63/#64, mesh-host #216, mesh-catalog #637/#638) and the operator's own. This is the second time: on 2026-11-08 mesh-host #214, an empty commit through the gate, unblocked it.
Quick or thorough
Quick: empty gate-record commits only. They are taken here as well, for today's held merges in the other four repositories.
Thorough, chosen: when the gate holds no merge, the forge bridge reads the pull request from the forge through gitea.gitea_api (the path its tags tool already uses), by the number the indexer passes or by the merge commit. It refuses a pull request that is not merged, merged at another commit, merged into a base other than main, or carries no head branch. Otherwise it answers as for a gate merge (a lone pull request), saying made_on_forge and a log line. The indexer refuses an answer whose number differs from the held merge's.
Evidence
Table rows in the existing test, with the forge's real shape (the branch only in head.label for a merged pull request; read live for mesh-delivery#184 and mesh-sdk#174). The refusals each fail their own row.
go vet, go vet -tags integration and go test pass in mesh-delivery-forge-bridge and mesh-delivery-indexer.
Limit
A delivery group merged on the forge is taken in one member at a time, without its group (ADR 0633 §4 names the gate's records as the source of a group). Noted on issue 1966.
Undo
Revert the group's merges.
