Add automated PR management system

[Copilot]

The repository lacked systematic PR handling infrastructure. With 8 open PRs spanning workflows, features, and documentation, manual triage was inefficient and inconsistent.

Implementation

Automated Workflow (.github/workflows/pr-handler.yml)

• Analyzes PRs on open/update: categorizes by type (workflow, doc, test, infrastructure, ai-feature, core), detects WIP/draft status, identifies org scope
• Auto-labels with type + status + scope tags
• Posts contextual guidance comment with next steps checklist
• Assigns reviewers for non-WIP PRs
• Tracks CI status and merge readiness

CLI Tool (scripts/pr_manager.py)

./scripts/pr_manager.py list      # Categorized PR list with status
./scripts/pr_manager.py status    # Statistics breakdown
./scripts/pr_manager.py label N L # Quick operations

Documentation (PR_MANAGEMENT.md, PR_HANDLER_SUMMARY.md)

• PR lifecycle workflow
• Label taxonomy (type, status, org-scope)
• Review checklist and merge strategy
• Current PR inventory and statistics

Label System

Type: workflows | documentation | testing | infrastructure | ai-enhancement | enhancement

Status: work-in-progress | ready-for-review | needs-changes | approved

Org: org:os | org:ai | org:cloud | multi-org | all-orgs

Notes

CLI tool uses demo data; production integration requires GitHub API (PyGithub or gh CLI). Structure and commands are production-ready.

Workflow complements existing pr-review.yml (code quality) and intelligent-auto-pr.yml (automated PRs) without overlap.

The usage examples in the module docstring reference ./pr_manager.py ..., but the script is located under scripts/pr_manager.py. Update the examples to use the correct path (or clarify that users should cd scripts first) to avoid broken copy/paste commands.

Suggested change

	Usage:
	./pr_manager.py list # List all open PRs
	./pr_manager.py show <number> # Show PR details
	./pr_manager.py label <number> <label> # Add label to PR
	./pr_manager.py review <number> # Request review
	./pr_manager.py merge <number> # Merge PR (if ready)
	./pr_manager.py status # Show PR statistics
	Usage (from the repository root):
	python scripts/pr_manager.py list # List all open PRs
	python scripts/pr_manager.py show <number> # Show PR details
	python scripts/pr_manager.py label <number> <label> # Add label to PR
	python scripts/pr_manager.py review <number> # Request review
	python scripts/pr_manager.py merge <number> # Merge PR (if ready)
	python scripts/pr_manager.py status # Show PR statistics

The workflow_dispatch path will fail because this job uses context.issue.number, which is undefined for workflow_dispatch events. Consider setting an explicit PR number output in analyze-pr (e.g., pr_number) and using that for issue_number/pull_number across label/comment/reviewer steps when github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch'.

Suggested change

	// Apply labels
	if (labels.length > 0) {
	await github.rest.issues.addLabels({
	owner: context.repo.owner,
	repo: context.repo.repo,
	issue_number: context.issue.number,
	// Determine PR number (supports both pull_request and workflow_dispatch)
	const prNumber = context.eventName === 'workflow_dispatch'
	? Number(context.payload && context.payload.inputs && context.payload.inputs.pr_number)
	: (context.issue && context.issue.number);
	// Apply labels
	if (labels.length > 0 && prNumber) {
	await github.rest.issues.addLabels({
	owner: context.repo.owner,
	repo: context.repo.repo,
	issue_number: prNumber,

Org scope detection won’t match because title is lowercased but orgPatterns contain mixed-case strings, and body.includes(org) is case-sensitive. Normalize both title/body and patterns to the same case before matching so org_scope labels are applied correctly.

Suggested change

	const orgsFound = orgPatterns.filter(org =>
	title.includes(org) || body.includes(org)
	);
	const bodyLower = body.toLowerCase();
	const orgPatternsLower = orgPatterns.map(org => org.toLowerCase());
	const orgsFound = orgPatterns.filter((org, index) => {
	const orgLower = orgPatternsLower[index];
	return title.includes(orgLower) || bodyLower.includes(orgLower);
	});

[Copilot]

Applying labels will fail the step if any label doesn’t already exist in the repo (GitHub API returns 422). Since org labels are dynamically generated (e.g., org:foundation, org:enterprises), consider either creating missing labels first or wrapping addLabels in try/catch and only applying labels that exist.

Suggested change

	await github.rest.issues.addLabels({
	owner: context.repo.owner,
	repo: context.repo.repo,
	issue_number: context.issue.number,
	labels: labels
	});
	const owner = context.repo.owner;
	const repo = context.repo.repo;
	// Fetch all existing labels in the repo to avoid 422 on non-existent labels
	const existingLabels = await github.paginate(
	github.rest.issues.listLabelsForRepo,
	{ owner, repo }
	);
	const existingLabelNames = new Set(existingLabels.map(l => l.name));
	const validLabels = labels.filter(label => existingLabelNames.has(label));
	if (validLabels.length > 0) {
	await github.rest.issues.addLabels({
	owner,
	repo,
	issue_number: context.issue.number,
	labels: validLabels
	});
	}

This job assumes context.payload.pull_request exists, but it will be undefined for workflow_dispatch runs even if can_auto_merge is true, causing a runtime error. Also, check_runs.every(...) returns true when there are zero checks, which could incorrectly report “ready to merge”; ensure at least one relevant check run exists (or query required checks) before declaring success.

[Copilot]

WIP detection is case-sensitive (e.g., '[WIP]' and 'WIP:' only). If titles use '[wip]' or 'wip:' they’ll be treated as ready-for-review. Consider using a case-insensitive match (lowercasing the title first) to make this robust.

Suggested change

	// Check if WIP
	const isWIP = pr.title.includes('[WIP]') || pr.title.includes('WIP:') || pr.draft;
	core.setOutput('is_wip', isWIP);
	// Determine PR type based on title and files
	let prType = 'other';
	const title = pr.title.toLowerCase();
	// Check if WIP (case-insensitive)
	const lowerTitle = pr.title.toLowerCase();
	const isWIP = lowerTitle.includes('[wip]') || lowerTitle.includes('wip:') || pr.draft;
	core.setOutput('is_wip', isWIP);
	// Determine PR type based on title and files
	let prType = 'other';
	const title = lowerTitle;

There are several unused imports here (json, os, sys, datetime, List, Optional). Since this file is user-facing CLI tooling, keeping imports minimal reduces lint noise and avoids implying functionality that isn’t implemented yet.

Suggested change

	import json
	import os
	import sys
	from datetime import datetime
	from typing import Dict, List, Optional
	from typing import Dict

This section describes “Auto-Merge Eligible” behavior, but the workflow as implemented only comments on merge readiness and never actually enables/executes auto-merge. Either update the docs to reflect the current behavior, or implement the auto-merge action/enablement that this section promises.

[Copilot]

This README claims the PR manager can “Merge PRs with safety checks”, but the script currently only prints a gh pr merge ... command and a reminder; it doesn’t perform or verify checks. Either adjust the README wording to match current behavior, or implement actual pre-merge validation (e.g., check status/mergeability via gh/API) before offering the merge command.

Suggested change

	- Merge PRs with safety checks
	- Assist with merging PRs by generating merge commands and safety-check reminders

The “Current Open PRs” section is a static snapshot of PR numbers, diffs, and statuses that will become stale quickly and can mislead readers. Consider moving this to a generated report (e.g., produced by the script/workflow and updated automatically) or removing the snapshot and documenting the process instead.

	## Viewing Current Open PRs
	The PR Handler is designed to keep labels and statuses on pull requests up to date.
	Instead of maintaining a static list of “current” PRs in this document (which
	would quickly become stale), use GitHub’s live views or generated reports.
	### In GitHub UI
	To see the current state of open PRs in this repository:
	1. Go to the **Pull requests** tab.
	2. Use filters such as:
	- `is:open is:pr`
	- `is:open is:pr label:"ready-for-review"`
	- `is:open is:pr label:"work-in-progress"`
	- `is:open is:pr label:"type:workflow"` (or other type labels)
	3. Save commonly used filter queries as **custom views** in the GitHub UI.
	### Example Saved Searches
	- **High-priority review queue**
	`is:open is:pr label:"ready-for-review" sort:updated-desc`
	- **Infrastructure and testing PRs**
	`is:open is:pr label:"type:infrastructure" sort:created-desc`
	`is:open is:pr label:"type:testing" sort:created-desc`
	- **Feature development PRs**
	`is:open is:pr label:"type:core-feature" sort:updated-desc`
	`is:open is:pr label:"type:ai-feature" sort:updated-desc`
	### Generated Reports (Optional)
	If you configure a workflow to generate a PR status report (for example, as
	a Markdown file or dashboard artifact), reference that report from here
	instead of listing specific PR numbers. For instance:
	- Link to a regularly updated `PR_STATUS.md` generated by CI.
	- Link to a dashboard that aggregates open PRs and their labels.
	This keeps the documentation accurate over time while avoiding hardcoded,
	quickly outdated snapshots of open pull requests.
