SH-1113 Fail CI when a PR description contains a GitHub closing keyword - #44
Merged
Conversation
Issues here are synced with Linear. A closing keyword closes the GitHub issue at merge time while Linear's PR automation moves the linked issue to Self QA, and the two automations then close, reopen, and re-triage the issue in public. Reference issues with "Refs #123" and close them from Linear instead.

Adds a CI check that fails when a PR description contains a GitHub closing keyword (close/fix/resolve followed by an issue reference).
Issues in this repo are synced with Linear. A closing keyword closes the GitHub issue the moment the PR merges, while Linear's PR automation moves the linked Linear issue to Self QA at the same time. The two automations then fight: the GitHub issue is closed, reopened (with the e-mail noise that brings for the reporter), and the Linear issue ends up back in Triage. This has happened on every synced issue since July whose PR used a closing keyword, across several of our public repos.
The convention going forward: reference the issue with
Refs #123and close it from Linear (Done) or by hand once the fix is released.Notes:
