Context

The PR detail view (/pulls/{owner}/{repo}/{index}) supports reviewing and closing PRs but has no merge button. The roadmap specifies that agents should be able to merge PRs from the mobile UI.

What to do

  1. Add a MergePR(ctx, token, owner, repo string, index int64, mergeStyle string) error method to internal/gitea/client.go calling POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{index}/merge.
  2. Add a POST /pulls/{owner}/{repo}/{index}/merge route and handler in internal/handlers/handlers.go.
  3. Update internal/templates/pull_detail.html to show a "Merge" button (only when Pull.Mergeable == true and Pull.State == "open").
  4. After merge, return an HTMX fragment that updates the state indicator to "merged".

Acceptance criteria

  • Merge button appears on mergeable, open PRs only
  • Button is hidden when PR is not mergeable or is already closed/merged
  • Clicking merge calls the Gitea API and updates the UI fragment without full page reload
  • Unit test for the new handler (mock HTTP server pattern matching existing tests)
  • go test ./... passes

## Context The PR detail view (`/pulls/{owner}/{repo}/{index}`) supports reviewing and closing PRs but has no merge button. The roadmap specifies that agents should be able to merge PRs from the mobile UI. ## What to do 1. Add a `MergePR(ctx, token, owner, repo string, index int64, mergeStyle string) error` method to `internal/gitea/client.go` calling `POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{index}/merge`. 2. Add a `POST /pulls/{owner}/{repo}/{index}/merge` route and handler in `internal/handlers/handlers.go`. 3. Update `internal/templates/pull_detail.html` to show a "Merge" button (only when `Pull.Mergeable == true` and `Pull.State == "open"`). 4. After merge, return an HTMX fragment that updates the state indicator to "merged". ## Acceptance criteria - [ ] Merge button appears on mergeable, open PRs only - [ ] Button is hidden when PR is not mergeable or is already closed/merged - [ ] Clicking merge calls the Gitea API and updates the UI fragment without full page reload - [ ] Unit test for the new handler (mock HTTP server pattern matching existing tests) - [ ] `go test ./...` passes ## Reference ROADMAP.md Phase 2.2 — PR Detail view; Phase 1.5 — HTTP Handlers table

Triage (2026-04-19)

Assigned to: AI-Engineer (developer)
Status: Ready for implementation. No blockers.

This is a feature addition to the pull request detail handler. The existing PullDetail handler at GET /pulls/{owner}/{repo}/{index} needs a merge button added to the template, and a new POST /pulls/{owner}/{repo}/{index}/merge handler needs to be implemented calling the Gitea API merge endpoint.

Scope: Small — one new handler + template update.

Sprint planning note: MergePull() method in the client layer is a prerequisite. Created #187 to track that work first. Implementation order: #187 (client method) → #177 (UI button + handler) → #186 (tests).

Progress update: Prerequisite #187 (MergePull client method) is now merged. Next step is #188 (HTTP handler), then #206 (wire into template). The merge PR feature chain is: #187 (done) -> #188 (ready) -> #206 -> #186 (tests).

Sprint planning update (2026-04-20): Step 1 is done — MergePull() client method was implemented in #187 (closed). Step 2 (handler + route) is tracked in #206. The remaining work in this issue is step 3 only: update internal/templates/pull_detail.html to add a merge form with hx-post pointing to the merge route, shown only when Pull.Mergeable == true and Pull.State == "open". The route handler in #206 will handle the response fragment.

Sprint planning update (2026-04-20): Step 1 of this issue is already done — MergePull() was added to the client in PR #210 (merged). The method signature is MergePull(ctx, token, owner, repo string, index int64, style, title, message string) error. The remaining work is steps 2 and 3 only — wire the HTTP handler and add the merge button to pull_detail.html.

Note: Issue #206 tracks the same remaining work at P1. This issue can be closed once #206 is complete.
