Conversation
Pre-fix, StewardHandler.handle returned TaskStatus.COMPLETED for every
non-error path — even when verdict was "reject", verdict was missing,
or pr_number couldn't be identified. The closer's contract is to seal
the work; reporting "completed" for cases where no merge happened
makes the pipeline lie about its actual outcomes. Downstream gates and
CLI summaries see COMPLETED → assume the PR landed → propagate the
false-positive.
## Fix
src/bonfire/handlers/steward.py:
- Compute final_status from the actual-merge precondition:
merge_actually_happened = verdict == "approve" and pr_number is not None
final_status = COMPLETED if merge_actually_happened else SKIPPED
- Reject verdict + pr_number → SKIPPED
- Empty verdict + pr_number → SKIPPED
- Approve verdict without pr_number → SKIPPED (nothing to merge)
- Approve + pr_number → COMPLETED (the only true-merge path)
- All other return-envelope behavior preserved: same metadata
(steward_verdict + steward_pr), same result string, same error path.
SKIPPED is the right semantics over FAILED — the closer evaluated its
preconditions and intentionally declined; it didn't crash.
## Tests
tests/unit/test_steward_handler_skipped_on_non_approve.py (new · Knight RED):
Five tests across two classes:
- TestStatusReflectsActualMerge (4):
* reject verdict → SKIPPED
* missing verdict → SKIPPED
* approve verdict without pr_number → SKIPPED
* approve + pr_number → COMPLETED (regression guard for the only
true-merge path, plus a sanity check that merge_pr was actually
invoked on the github_client mock)
- TestStatusPreservesEnvelopeStructure (1):
* SKIPPED path still attaches steward_verdict + steward_pr metadata
+ preserves the result string — only the status changes.
## Verification
pytest tests/unit/test_steward_handler_skipped_on_non_approve.py
5 passed (Knight RED → GREEN verified — 4 failed pre-fix, all
green post-fix; the 1 pre-fix-passing test is the COMPLETED
regression guard)
pytest tests/unit/test_steward_handler.py (existing 570-line suite)
30 passed (zero regressions — the existing reject-verdict tests
only asserted "merge_pr was not called", not the resulting
TaskStatus, so they're unchanged by this fix)
ruff check + format on changed files: clean
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Follow-up to the prior commit. ruff format was reported as needing a re-flow on steward.py after the new merge_actually_happened block; running it now closes the format check that CI would otherwise flag. No behavior change.

Pre-fix,
StewardHandler.handlereturnedTaskStatus.COMPLETEDfor every non-error path — even when verdict wasreject, verdict was missing, orpr_numbercouldn't be identified. The closer's contract is to seal the work; reporting "completed" for cases where no merge happened makes the pipeline lie about its actual outcomes. Downstream gates and CLI summaries seeCOMPLETED→ assume the PR landed → propagate the false-positive.Existing tests already verified the behavioral side of the cold path (verdict != "approve" does NOT call
merge_pron the github_client mock) — but never asserted the resultingTaskStatus. That's the gap this PR closes.Fix
