+# Auto-enables `gh pr merge --auto --squash` on any PR (any author) whose
+# diff touches ONLY safe paths (docs, tests, test_*.py / *_test.* /
+# *.test.* / *.spec.* / **/__tests__/**). All-or-nothing: one unsafe
+# file in the diff and this workflow no-ops, deferring to
+# claude-author-automerge.yml (or manual click).
+#
+# Branch protection's required-status-checks still apply — auto-merge
+# waits for them. Reusable defined at:
