A pre-merge check reporting a blocker is the ordinary in-review resting state
rather than an exceptional one, so badging it marked routine cards abnormal.
Operator-requested removal.
Suppression is expressed as a code list next to the existing
no-worktree-no-merge-confirmed entry, so both surfaces that gate on
shouldShowInReviewStallBadge -- the card header badge and the Task Detail
diagnostic block -- drop it from one place. The previous carve-out only
suppressed merge-blocker while isActiveMergeStatus(task.status) held; that is
gone, and the test row that used to expect a badge for status undefined now
asserts the suppression is unconditional.
task.inReviewStall keeps being computed and stored -- only the affordance is
withheld -- so the Review tab, run-audit, and self-healing are unaffected.
No dead CSS: the shared .in-review-stall classes still serve the remaining
codes and no --merge-blocker rule existed. The card test asserts no empty
badge shell is left behind.
Two TaskDetailModal cases used merge-blocker only as a fixture for the
diagnostics row and jump-to-activity-entry behavior; repointed at
transient-merge-status-no-owner so they still guard what they were written for.
Note for follow-up: this badge was the board's only signal for a card blocked
on a failed pre-merge step. self-healing's needsOperatorBypass comment already
flags that such cards "sit silently" behind a generic badge; with the badge
gone they show nothing at all on the board.
Verified: tsc -p tsconfig.app.json clean, pnpm lint clean, 693 tests passing
across the 6 affected suites.
