File contents

Close Merge Request

Inputs

Input	Type	Default	Purpose
`mr_id`	int	required	GitLab MR ID
`project`	string	automation-analytics/automation-analytics-backend	GitLab project path
`reason`	string	"Closing - no longer needed"	Reason for closing
`update_jira`	bool	true	Add comment to linked Jira issue

Workflow

1. Bootstrap

persona_load("developer")
check_known_issues("gitlab_mr_close")

2. Get MR & Extract Info

gitlab_mr_view(project, mr_id) — get details
Parse: Jira key (AAP-XXXXX), title, author, source_branch

3. Close MR

gitlab_mr_close(project, mr_id)
Parse result: success if "closed" or "success" in output

4. Jira & Notify

If success and mr_info.jira_key and update_jira: jira_add_comment(issue_key, "MR !X was closed.\n\nReason: {reason}")
skill_run("notify_team", '{"message": "MR !X closed for {project}", "channel": "team"}')
persona_load("developer") — restore after notify

5. Memory

memory_session_log("Closed MR !X", "Title - Reason")
Record in learned/patterns.mr_closures
Remove from state/current_work.open_mrs (filter by mr id)

6. Cleanup Branch

Resolve repo path from config (match project to gitlab)
skill_run("cleanup_branches", '{"repo": "...", "dry_run": false}') — delete source branch
persona_load("developer") — restore

7. Failure Learning

"no such host" → learn_tool_fix("gitlab_mr_close", "no such host", "VPN", "vpn_connect()")
"merge request not found" → learn_tool_fix("gitlab_mr_close", "merge request not found", "Wrong ID/project", "Check mr_id and project")
"already closed" → no action needed
