Decide: What merge-and-release Does When the Promotion Is Already Merged and a Release Was Asked #4019
Description
Split from tracker #3958, a CodeRabbit finding on ptr727/ESPHome-NonRoot#404 against the carried merge-and-release "The Procedure". Re-checked against hub main at 42f2155b.
Decision needed (tracker consolidation, 2026-11-09)
Question: Step 2 finds the promotion state=MERGED and says "Dispatch no release from here, since whoever merged it may have released it already". It then reports and stops. A session invoked with scope release therefore leaves the promotion unreleased when the other merger did not dispatch. What should it do?
Options, recommended first:
- Look, then ask (recommended): read the publisher's runs on the merge commit, and report whether a release started. Where none did, ask the maintainer before dispatching. The release request is not silently dropped, and no double dispatch is risked. No work in flight.
- Keep stop-and-report: simplest, and it relies on the report being read. No work in flight.

Answered by the maintainer, 2026-11-10: option 1, look, then ask. Where step 2 finds the promotion already merged under a release scope, read the publisher's runs on the merge commit and report whether a release started. Where none did, ask the maintainer before dispatching. This issue now tracks that edit to
