Commit queue

tl;dr: You can ask the queue to land pull requests by adding the commit-queue label to them.

Commit Queue is a feature for the project which simplifies the landing process by automating it via GitHub Actions. With it, collaborators can queue pull requests for landing by adding the commit-queue label to a PR. The selector checks readiness with @node-core/utils. If the pull request is only blocked on a deferrable condition, currently wait time, the queue leaves the label in place and retries later. Other failures continue to the existing landing and failure-reporting path.

To make the Commit Queue squash all the commits of a pull request into the first one, add the commit-queue-squash label. To make the Commit Queue land a pull request containing several commits, add the commit-queue-rebase label. When using this option, make sure that all commits are self-contained, meaning every commit should pass all tests.

The implementation is in commit-queue.yml and commit-queue.sh.

Current limitations

These are the currently known limitations of the commit queue:

1. All commits in a pull request must either be following commit message guidelines or be a valid fixup! commit that will be correctly handled by the --autosquash option.
2. A CI must have run and succeeded since the last change on the PR.
3. A collaborator must have approved the PR since the last change.
4. Only Jenkins CI and GitHub Actions are checked (V8 CI and CITGM are ignored).
5. The PR must target the main branch (PRs opened against other branches, such as backport PRs, are ignored).
