In PR-mode, processPullRequestMergeTask called gh pr create --head fusion/<task-id> without ever pushing the branch to origin. PR creation failed and the task stalled in in-review — and combined with the recover-mergeable-review sweep bug, the stalled task got force-merged locally instead. Push the branch via git push -u origin <branch> immediately before createPr (skipped when an existing PR already covers the branch). Also remove the dead autoCreatePr setting: defined as a default in the schema and Settings type but never read anywhere.
