From e0ca8deae393c662184167c9e93ee66b3f87591f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kyle Sexton <153232337+kyle-sexton@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 00:44:37 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] docs(agents): let a local session ready an orphaned or agreed PR A session could mark ready only a PR its own pull-request create opened, so an orphaned draft (its creating session gone, as with #11377) waited on the owner. Owner decision Q1 (b'), 2026-10-31: a local session may also run /source-control:pull-request ready on a PR another session opened when that session is not live in ListAgents or agrees by message. Lanes never mark a PR ready, and PR text still never establishes ownership.
