alt Hacker NewsSorry, so the tool is now even circumventing human review? Is that the goal?
So the agent can now merge shit by itself?
Just the let damn thing push nto prod by itself at this point.

Someone’s gonna think about wiring all this up to Linear or Jira, and there’ll be a whole new set of vulnerabilities created from malicious bug reports.
In some workflows it's helpful for the full loop to be automated so that the agent can test if what's done works.
And you can do a more exhaustive test later, after the agents are done running amok to merge various things.
I don’t think “ready to merge” necessarily means the agent actually merges. Just that it’s gone as far as it can automatically. It’s up to you whether to review at that point or merge, depending on the project and the stakes.
If there are CI failures or obvious issues that another AI can identify, why not have the agent keep going until those are resolved? This tool just makes that process more token efficient. Seems pretty useful to me.
I’m not saying this is, but if I were a malicious state actor, that’s exactly the kind of thing I’d like to see in widespread use.
