Disarming auto-merge on a PR whose agent is still running does not hold it — the agent re-arms within minutes and the PR merges, because arming is a step in the agent's brief and disarming is not an instruction to the agent at all. Use when: (1) you want to STOP a pull request from merging that an agent opened and armed, for review, for a rethink, or because it is landing into a queue you are trying to drain; (2) a PR you disarmed merged anyway; (3) you are telling agents which PRs are on hold…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Auto-merge re-arms while its agent is live — kill, disarm, verify ## Problem You want a pull request held. It has auto-merge armed, so you disarm it: ```bash gh pr merge 123 --disable-auto ``` Minutes later it is merged. The reason is not a race in GitHub. It is that **arming auto-merge is a step in the agent's brief**, and your disarm was not addressed to the agent at all. The agent is still alive, still working through its list, and one of its later steps — a retry, a re-check, a "make sure the PR is armed before you finish" line — arms it again. From the agent's point of view nothing unusual happened: it found the PR unarmed and armed it, which is what it was told to do. **This happened twice in one run.** Same PR, same disarm, same result. The second time is the informative one: repeating the action that failed, faster, does not help, because the mechanism is not timing. The general shape is worth naming, because it recurs beyond auto-merge: **changing a resource's state does not change the intent of a process that keeps re-asserting it.** Any agent-set state — a label, an assignee, a branch protection exemption, a queued …

How to install
mdr add wan-huiyan/agent-traffic-control/auto-merge-rearms-while-agent-live-kill-then-disarm-verify@sha256:79614185c8f129f2The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
