decideAutoPrerebase() previously defaulted prerebaseDivergenceThreshold
to 0, which meant the threshold path NEVER fired unless the user
explicitly set a positive value. Only hot-file matches could trigger
prerebase.
The result: tasks whose branch was started against an older main tip
(because other tasks landed concurrently) skipped prerebase, built their
squash commit against the stale base, and then failed at git update-ref
because the squash didn't descend from current main. The merger correctly
detected this as non-fast-forward and threw
IntegrationBranchConcurrentAdvanceError, but with both 'expected' and
'observed' SHAs set to current main tip \u2014 because observedCurrentSha was
captured from the pre-update rev-parse, not post-failure. This produced
the misleading 'expected X, observed X' same-SHA error signature that
stranded FN-5632 stuck at mergeRetries=3 after the FN-5627 merger fix
and engine restart.
New default: prerebaseDivergenceThreshold = 1. Any branch behind by at
least 1 commit auto-rebases before squash. Users who want the legacy
never-fire behavior can explicitly set prerebaseDivergenceThreshold = 0.
Threshold comparison also changed from > to >= so an explicit threshold
of N rebases at N+ commits behind instead of N+1+.
The self-healing classifier comment for spurious-concurrent-advance-same-sha
is updated to note the signature can come from either pre-FN-5627
misclassification OR the legitimate post-FN-5627 non-FF path; the
auto-recovery sweep is unchanged because both cases self-heal cleanly
once prerebase fires on the retry.
Tests (3 new):
- Default threshold (undefined) fires at 1 commit behind
- Explicit threshold = 0 stays as opt-out (never fire on commit-count)
- Default threshold doesn't fire when branch is up-to-date
Engine suite: 6160 tests pass.
In-flight: FN-5632 manually SQL-reset to mergeRetries=0 / status=null
once more so the next merger tick (after engine restart picks up this
code) auto-prerebases and lands the work. Future occurrences self-recover.
