- Filter out auto-merge workflow checks to avoid circular dependency - Only wait for meaningful CI checks (CI, test, build, lint, RuboCop) - Add debug logging to help troubleshoot check detection - Add fallback for cases with no relevant CI checks to wait for This resolves the issue where the auto-merge workflow would hang indefinitely waiting for itself to complete.
…lution - Remove problematic auto-merge.yml that waited for itself (circular dependency) - Add dependabot-auto-merge.yml using official Dependabot metadata action - Use GitHub's built-in auto-merge feature instead of custom implementation - Only auto-merge patch version updates for safety - Simpler, more reliable approach that doesn't hang The new workflow uses the proven dependabot/fetch-metadata action and GitHub's native auto-merge functionality, eliminating the circular dependency issue with the previous custom implementation.
