There was a problem hiding this comment.
Do we need to run the job to build the site after this runs? I'm not 100%, but if so I don't believe this will trigger that job (because it's using the GITHUB_TOKEN, and that mostly doesn't run additional workflows)

No, this is one of the reasons I actually wrote it myself instead of using an existing action. this action actually just adds the pr to the merge queue using the gh cli and does not try to merge it itself. That allow us to continue to use our current process as is. |

Summary
Adds a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically merges PRs on a scheduled date by enabling auto-merge and routing through the existing merge queue.
.github/workflows/merge-schedule.ymlAGENTS.mdandCONTRIBUTING.mdHow to use
Add this line anywhere in the PR description:
The workflow runs daily at ~9am Eastern. When the date arrives and the PR is already approved, it enables auto-merge — the PR then goes through the normal merge queue like any other. If the PR is not yet approved, it posts a warning comment on the PR.
Design notes
GITHUB_TOKEN(no PAT or GitHub App needed) — sufficient for enabling auto-merge on an already-approved PRgh pr merge --auto/scheduleline is not required and should only be added when a future publish date is intended
