Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix(ci): fix lint-codeblocks noise and false positives

- Restore JS validator with explicit Flux (|>) and TICKscript
  (|Node(, batch()/stream(), dbrp) skip detection; skip reasons
  appear in CI log as 'skipped (flux)' / 'skipped (tickscript)'
- Add angle-bracket placeholder normalizer for bash: strips <token>
  before syntax-checking so docs-convention placeholders don't look
  like I/O redirects
- Remove JS from VALIDATORS entirely was too blunt; real JavaScript
  blocks now get validated, DSL blocks are categorized and skipped
- Non-blocking validation failures (bash, python, js) and ENOENT for
  missing shared source: files emit console output only - no ::warning
  GitHub annotations that could mislead authors into converting fenced
  code blocks to inline backtick code

Closes #7433

 errors
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Telegraf v1 plugin docs — label fixes so json/toml blocks parse
correctly under the CI linter:
- bind: named.conf syntax in json fence → text
- ctrlx_datalayer: ctrlX Datalayer source-value format → text
  (format unverified; upstream Telegraf PRs filed — see below)
- docker: TOML config snippets mislabeled as json → text
- jti_openconfig_telemetry: duplicate key in toml block → text
- opcua_listener, dynatrace: // inline comments in toml → #
- postgresql_extensible: backslash line continuation in toml → text
- win_eventlog: unclosed triple-quoted string in toml → text
- azure_data_explorer: KQL/Kusto code in json fence → text
- clarify: proprietary signal/values format in json fence → text
- elasticsearch: HTTP request + body in json fence → text
- zabbix: JSONL-format payloads in json fence → jsonl
- converter: unclosed toml string literal "unix → "unix"
- lookup, secretstore/http: ellipsis elide markers in json fence → text
- splunkmetric: valid JSON metric objects in javascript fence → json

InfluxDB Cloud / Cloud Serverless bucket docs:
- bucket-schema, create-bucket, update-bucket,
  manage-explicit-bucket-schemas: JSON API request bodies in
  javascript/js fences → json

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] docs(exec-plans): expand merge queue plan with Phase 2
 spec

Rewrites the short decision record into a self-contained ExecPlan:
- Explicit Phase 2 steps for test.yml (merge_group trigger, detect-changes
  fix, lint-codeblocks condition) now that #7433 is resolved
- Behavioral acceptance criteria for both phases
- Rollout discoveries: Phase 1 first merge bypassed the queue;
  CircleCI build count unchanged (queue builds on throwaway branches)
- Branch-protection state snapshot and recovery / idempotence notes
- gh CLI one-liners to inspect protection state and verify queue usage

No decisions changed; facts and status carried forward from the
original record.

-# GitHub merge queue for `master`
-
-**Status:** In review — PR [#7434](https://github.com/influxdata/docs-v2/pull/7434)
-**Closes:** [#7412](https://github.com/influxdata/docs-v2/issues/7412)
-**Depends on:** lint-codeblocks bug fix — [#7433](https://github.com/influxdata/docs-v2/issues/7433) (gates the Phase 2 follow-up)
-
-## Goal
-
-Replace the dead PR auto-update mechanism with GitHub's native **merge queue**
-on `master`. Contributors stop hand-rebasing onto `master`: a maintainer clicks
-**"Merge when ready"**, the queue builds `master` + the PR on a throwaway
-`gh-readonly-queue/master/*` branch, runs the required checks there, and
-completes the merge only if green. The human merge gate is unchanged.
-
-## Why now
-
-`.github/workflows/pr-autoupdate.yml` is a silent no-op — it pins
-`docker://chinthakagodawita/autoupdate-action:v1.7.0`, whose Docker image is
-gone and whose upstream repo is archived. With `master` branch protection set
-to `strict: true` ("require branches up to date before merging"), contributors
-must now manually rebase every PR each time `master` moves — and at the current
-volume (\~90 PRs merged in the last 30 days, 47 in the last week, \~18 open at a
-time) that churn is constant. A merge queue removes the rebase requirement while
-preserving the "master never breaks" guarantee.
-
-## Decisions
-
-- **Merge queue, not a maintained auto-update action.** A queue updates the base
-  *once at merge time* (\~3–6 builds/day at current volume); a continuous
-  auto-update action rebuilds *every* open PR on *every* `master` push
-  (\~55–110 builds/day) — roughly 10× the CircleCI cost for the same
-  "no manual rebase" outcome. The queue also catches a bad merge *before* it
-  reaches `master` instead of fanning it out to all open PRs. Decisively: this
-  issue exists *because* a third-party auto-update action rotted; the queue is a
-  native GitHub feature with nothing to archive or pin.
-- **Turn off `strict`.** The queue rebuilds `master` + PR in its temp branch and
-  validates *that*, so "require branch up to date before merging" is redundant
-  and merely re-imposes the manual rebase the queue exists to remove. Turning it
-  off does **not** weaken the human merge gate — that gate is the "Merge when
-  ready" click, not `strict`.
-- **Phase the rollout — ship the queue now, gated only on `ci/circleci: build`;
-  re-require `Lint code blocks` later (sequencing option "B").** `Lint code
-  blocks` is a *required* check, and a merge queue hangs forever on any required
-  check that does not report on the `merge_group` branch. That check currently
-  has a known bug ([#7433](https://github.com/influxdata/docs-v2/issues/7433)),
-  so we do **not** wire it into `merge_group`
-  yet. Instead, admin temporarily drops it from the required-checks list so the
-  queue gates only on the CircleCI Hugo build — the real "master doesn't break"
-  guarantee for a docs site. Lint still runs on every PR as a non-required
-  check, so contributors keep its feedback; it just doesn't block merges during
-  the window. Rejected alternatives: (A) gate the entire rollout on the lint
-  fix — ships the queue later for no current benefit, since auto-update is
-  already dead; (C) `merge_group` skip-to-success — keeps lint required but
-  reports a phantom "skipped" check and still entangles the queue change with
-  the buggy workflow.
-- **No CircleCI config change.** The `build` job has no branch filter, so it
-  already builds every pushed branch — including `gh-readonly-queue/master/*` —
-  and reports the exact required context `ci/circleci: build`. The `deploy` job
-  is filtered `only: master`, so queue branches never deploy, and the job's
-  `CIRCLE_BRANCH != master` path keeps them on the cheaper incremental build.
-  The single dependency is the CircleCI **"Only build pull requests"** project
-  setting: it must be **OFF**, or queue branches won't build and PRs hang. This
-  is the issue's headline risk and is a settings verification, not code.
-- **Queue parameters: squash merge, max group size = 1.** Squash matches how the
-  repo merges today and keeps `master` history clean. Max group size 1 means the
-  queue validates one PR at a time, so the *only* thing that can eject a PR is
-  its own build failure — never a semantic conflict with another PR ahead of it.
-  At \~6 merges/day the throughput cost is negligible, and it directly limits the
-  committer-experience downside (ejection on a flaky build).
-
-## Explicitly out of scope
-
-- **Fixing the `Lint code blocks` bug and wiring it into `merge_group`** — the
-  Phase 2 follow-up. Once fixed, a single change adds `merge_group:` to
-  `test.yml` (run-for-real: `detect-changes` computes its diff from
-  `github.event.merge_group.base_sha`, and the `lint-codeblocks` `if:` is
-  extended to `merge_group`) **and** re-adds `Lint code blocks` to the required
-  list. These must land together, or the queue hangs again. Tracked by
-  [#7433](https://github.com/influxdata/docs-v2/issues/7433).
-- **Auditing other GitHub Actions checks for `merge_group`** — trivial under
-  option B: after de-requiring lint, `ci/circleci: build` is the only required
-  check, and it reports independently of `merge_group`. Re-audit when lint is
-  re-required.
-
-## How to update
-
-- **Required checks / queue settings** live in `master` branch protection (admin
-  UI / ruleset), not in the repo — coordinate with the security team, which owns
-  branch protection org-wide.
-- **To make a *new* GitHub Actions check merge-queue-safe** before marking it
-  required: add `merge_group:` to that workflow's `on:` triggers so it reports on
-  `gh-readonly-queue/*` branches. A required check without it stalls the queue.
-
-## Verification
-
-1. **Pre-enable:** confirm CircleCI "Only build pull requests" is OFF for the
-   `docs-v2` project (CircleCI project settings → Advanced).
-2. **Admin:** on the literal-`master` rule (classic protection, no wildcard —
-   confirmed via `gh api repos/influxdata/docs-v2/branches/master/protection`),
-   remove `Lint code blocks` from required checks, turn off `strict`, enable
-   "Require merge queue" with the parameters above.
-3. **Smoke test (low-traffic window):** open one trivial docs PR, click "Merge
-   when ready", and confirm `ci/circleci: build` reports on the
-   `gh-readonly-queue/master/*` branch and the PR merges. If it hangs, CircleCI
-   is not building queue branches — revisit step 1.
-4. **Rollback:** disable "Require merge queue" in branch protection. No code
-   revert needed; the only in-repo change is the `pr-autoupdate.yml` deletion.
-
-## In-repo change set (this PR)
-
-- Delete `.github/workflows/pr-autoupdate.yml` (dead no-op).
-- This exec-plan.
-
-Everything else is admin/settings (Phase 1 enablement) or the Phase 2 follow-up.
+# Adopt a GitHub merge queue for the `master` branch
+
+## Purpose / Big Picture
+
+After this change, a contributor to the `influxdata/docs-v2` documentation site no longer has to manually rebase a pull request (PR) onto the latest `master` before it can merge. Instead, a maintainer clicks the **Merge when ready** button, and GitHub's [*merge queue*](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/configuring-pull-request-merges/managing-a-merge-queue) takes over: it builds a temporary branch containing `master` plus the PR, runs the repository's required checks against that combined branch, and completes the merge only if those checks pass. The site's "master is always deployable" guarantee is preserved, but the rebase churn is gone.
+
+## Progress
+
+Phase 1 (ship the queue, gated only on the CircleCI build) is complete. Phase 2 (re-require the code-block lint once its bug is fixed) is not yet started.
+
+- [x] (2026-06-30) Removed the defunct `.github/workflows/pr-autoupdate.yml` workflow. Merged to `master` via PR #7434.
+- [x] (2026-06-30) Recorded the rollout decisions in this document. Merged via PR #7434.
+- [x] (2026-06-30) Filed issue #7433 for the `Lint code blocks` bug that blocks Phase 2.
+- [x] (2026-06-30 ~14:45Z) Admin enabled the merge queue on `master`, turned off the `strict` up-to-date requirement, and removed `Lint code blocks` from the required checks. Confirmed via the GitHub API: `strict` is now `false`.
+- [ ] Verify the queue actually runs end-to-end (completed: queue is enabled; remaining: a PR has not yet been observed flowing through `gh-readonly-queue/master/*` — the one merge so far bypassed the queue, see `Surprises & Discoveries`).
+- [ ] Confirm the CircleCI project setting "Only build pull requests" is OFF so queue branches build (completed: nothing; remaining: check CircleCI project → Settings → Advanced, or infer from a successful `ci/circleci: build` on a `gh-readonly-queue/*` branch).
+- [ ] Phase 2: fix the `Lint code blocks` bug (#7433). Tracked separately; prerequisite for the next item.
+- [ ] Phase 2: add the `merge_group:` trigger to `.github/workflows/test.yml` and make the lint job report on queue branches (completed: nothing; remaining: the edits in `Plan of Work` and `Concrete Steps`).
+- [ ] Phase 2: re-add `Lint code blocks` to the `master` required checks, in the same change that lands the `merge_group:` trigger.
+
+## Surprises & Discoveries
+
+- Observation: Enabling "Require merge queue" does not stop a user with bypass permission from merging directly and skipping the queue. The first merge after enabling (PR #7434) bypassed the queue.
+
+- Observation: The merge queue does not reduce the number of CircleCI builds; it adds one. After any merge, `master` still runs a full build and deploy.
+
+  Evidence: In `.circleci/config.yml`, the `deploy` job declares `requires: build` and attaches the `workspace/public` directory produced by the `build` job in the same pipeline, and the `deploy` job is filtered to run only on `master`. There is no path that deploys a previously built artifact from another branch or pipeline. So the queue's validation build runs on the throwaway `gh-readonly-queue/*` branch (which never deploys), and then `master` builds and deploys again after the merge. The dependency caches added in earlier CI work make the rebuild faster but never skip the Hugo build itself.
+
+## Decision Log
+
+- Decision: Use a native GitHub merge queue rather than a maintained third-party auto-update action.
+
+  Rationale: At this repository's volume (about 80–90 PRs merged per month, with bursts above 40 per week and roughly 18 open at once), a continuous auto-update action would rebuild every open PR on every push to `master` — on the order of 55–110 builds per day — versus roughly one validation build per merged PR for the queue. The queue also catches a bad combined state before it reaches `master`, and it is a native feature with no third-party dependency to rot. This issue exists precisely because the previous auto-update action (`chinthakagodawita/autoupdate-action`) was archived and its Docker image removed.
+
+  Date/Author: 2026-06-29, Jason Stirnaman (with Claude).
+
+- Decision: Turn off the `strict` "require branches to be up to date before merging" setting when enabling the queue.
+
+  Rationale: The queue rebuilds `master` plus the PR in its temporary branch and validates that, so additionally requiring the PR branch to be up to date first is redundant and merely re-imposes the manual rebase the queue exists to remove. Turning `strict` off does not weaken human review: the merge gate is the **Merge when ready** click, not `strict`.
+
+  Date/Author: 2026-06-29, Jason Stirnaman (with Claude).
+
+- Decision: Ship the queue gated only on `ci/circleci: build`, and re-require `Lint code blocks` later (sequencing option "B").
+
+  Rationale: A merge queue waits forever on any required check that does not report on the `merge_group` branch. `Lint code blocks` is a required check, and it has a known bug (#7433), so it was not wired into the queue yet. Removing it from the required set temporarily lets the queue ship now, gated on the CircleCI Hugo build, which is the real "master is deployable" guarantee for a docs site. Lint still runs on every PR as a non-required check, so contributors keep its feedback. Rejected alternatives: (A) gate the entire rollout on the lint fix, which delays the queue for no current benefit since the old auto-update was already dead; (C) wire lint as a `merge_group` job that skips to success, which keeps a confusing phantom "skipped" check and still entangles the queue with the buggy workflow.
+
+  Date/Author: 2026-06-29, Jason Stirnaman (with Claude).
+
+- Decision: Use the rebase merge method and the default merge limits (minimum group size 1, maximum 5).
+
+  Date/Author: 2026-06-30, Jason Stirnaman (with Claude).
+
+## Outcomes & Retrospective
+
+Phase 1 achieved the user-visible goal: the dead auto-update workflow is gone, the queue is enabled on `master`, and `strict` is off, so contributors are no longer forced to rebase. What remains is to observe a real PR flowing through the queue (the first merge bypassed it) and to complete Phase 2 so the code-block lint runs inside the queue again.
+
+## Context and Orientation
+
+The repository is the Hugo-based documentation site at `influxdata/docs-v2`. Two continuous integration (CI) systems run against it, and both matter here.
+
+The first is CircleCI, configured in `.circleci/config.yml`. It defines a `build` job that installs dependencies, generates API docs, builds a Rust markdown converter, runs the Hugo build over 5000-plus pages, and verifies the output. The `build` job has no branch filter, so CircleCI builds every pushed branch — including the queue's temporary `gh-readonly-queue/master/*` branches — and reports its result to GitHub under the status context exactly named `ci/circleci: build`. A separate `deploy` job runs only on `master` and depends on `build`. Because CircleCI is a third-party provider rather than a GitHub Actions workflow, the GitHub `merge_group` event (described below) does not reach it; CircleCI participates in the queue purely by building the pushed `gh-readonly-queue/*` branch.
+
+The second is GitHub Actions. The relevant workflow is `.github/workflows/test.yml`, named "Test Code Blocks". It currently triggers on `pull_request` and `workflow_dispatch`. Inside it, a job whose display name is `Lint code blocks` (job id `lint-codeblocks`) is a required status check on `master`. That job depends on a `detect-changes` job that computes the set of changed files by diffing `github.event.pull_request.base.sha` against `github.sha`, and the `lint-codeblocks` job runs only when its condition `github.event_name == 'pull_request' && needs.detect-changes.outputs.canonical-sources != '' && needs.detect-changes.outputs.canonical-sources != '[]'` is met. Both of those facts are PR-specific and are why Phase 2 needs edits, explained later.
+
+Branch protection on `master` is classic branch protection on the literal branch name `master` (not a wildcard pattern, which matters because a merge queue cannot be enabled on a wildcard). Before this work, its required status checks were `ci/circleci: build` and `Lint code blocks`, and its `strict` flag was `true`. After Phase 1, `Lint code blocks` was removed from the required set and `strict` was set to `false`.
+
+Two more terms used below. The `merge_group` event is a GitHub Actions trigger that fires when GitHub builds a merge-queue group; a workflow runs against the `gh-readonly-queue/*` branch only if its `on:` list includes `merge_group`. The `strict` flag is the REST API name for the branch-protection checkbox labeled "Require branches to be up to date before merging" in the GitHub UI.
+
+## Plan of Work
+
+Only Phase 2 has remaining code work; Phase 1's only in-repo change (deleting `pr-autoupdate.yml`) is already merged.
+
+Phase 2 begins outside this repository: the `Lint code blocks` bug (#7433) must be fixed first, because wiring a still-broken check into the queue would make queued PRs fail or hang. That fix is tracked in #7433 and is not specified here.
+
+Once #7433 is fixed, make three edits to `.github/workflows/test.yml`, all additive. First, add `merge_group:` to the workflow's `on:` list so the workflow runs against `gh-readonly-queue/*` branches. Second, in the `detect-changes` job, add a branch to the change-detection logic that computes the diff for the `merge_group` event using `github.event.merge_group.base_sha` as the base and `github.sha` as the head (the existing logic only handles `pull_request` and `workflow_dispatch`), and extend the `Setup Node.js` step's condition so Node is installed for `merge_group` as well as `pull_request`. Third, change the `lint-codeblocks` job condition so it also runs on the `merge_group` event, for example `(github.event_name == 'pull_request' || github.event_name == 'merge_group') && needs.detect-changes.outputs.canonical-sources != '' && needs.detect-changes.outputs.canonical-sources != '[]'`.
+
+Finally, an admin must re-add `Lint code blocks` to the `master` required status checks. This admin step and the `test.yml` edits must land together: if `Lint code blocks` becomes required before it reports on `merge_group`, the queue hangs; if the trigger lands but the check is never required, nothing enforces it.
+
+## Concrete Steps
+
+Run these from the repository root, which in this worktree is the current working directory. Do not change directories into the main clone.
+
+To make the `test.yml` edits, open `.github/workflows/test.yml` and change the `on:` block from its current form to include the merge-queue trigger. The current block looks like this:
+
+    on:
+      pull_request:
+        types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]
+      workflow_dispatch:
+        inputs:
+          ...
+
+Add the trigger so it reads:
+
+    on:
+      pull_request:
+        types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]
+      merge_group:
+      workflow_dispatch:
+        inputs:
+          ...
+
+In the `detect-changes` job, the `Setup Node.js` step is currently gated on pull requests only:
+
+    - name: Setup Node.js
+      if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'
+
+Change its condition to also cover the merge group:
+
+    - name: Setup Node.js
+      if: github.event_name == 'pull_request' || github.event_name == 'merge_group'
+
+In the same job's change-detection script, the diff base is currently taken only from the pull-request payload:
+
+    ALL_CHANGED=$(git diff --name-only ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.sha }}...${{ github.sha }})
+
+Compute the base from whichever event fired, so the merge-group branch diffs against the base GitHub recorded for the group. One safe way is to set a shell variable before the diff:
+
+    if [ "${{ github.event_name }}" = "merge_group" ]; then
+      DIFF_BASE="${{ github.event.merge_group.base_sha }}"
+    else
+      DIFF_BASE="${{ github.event.pull_request.base.sha }}"
+    fi
+    ALL_CHANGED=$(git diff --name-only "$DIFF_BASE"...${{ github.sha }})
+
+Finally, change the `lint-codeblocks` job condition from:
+
+    if: github.event_name == 'pull_request' && needs.detect-changes.outputs.canonical-sources != '' && needs.detect-changes.outputs.canonical-sources != '[]'
+
+to:
+
+    if: (github.event_name == 'pull_request' || github.event_name == 'merge_group') && needs.detect-changes.outputs.canonical-sources != '' && needs.detect-changes.outputs.canonical-sources != '[]'
+
+Commit the workflow change on a feature branch and open a PR, for example:
+
+    git checkout -b 7412-merge-queue-phase-2 origin/master
+    git add .github/workflows/test.yml
+    git commit -m "ci(test): report Lint code blocks on merge_group for merge queue (#7412)"
+    git push -u origin 7412-merge-queue-phase-2
+
+The admin step cannot be done from the repository. In the `master` branch protection or ruleset, add `Lint code blocks` back to the required status checks at the same time the PR above merges.
+
+You can inspect the current branch protection at any time to confirm state:
+
+    gh api repos/influxdata/docs-v2/branches/master/protection \
+      --jq '{strict: .required_status_checks.strict, contexts: [.required_status_checks.checks[].context]}'
+
+Before Phase 1 this returned `strict: true` with both contexts; after Phase 1 it returns `strict: false` with only `ci/circleci: build`; after Phase 2 it should again list `Lint code blocks`.
+
+## Validation and Acceptance
+
+Phase 1 acceptance is behavioral. Open a trivial documentation PR against `master`, click **Merge when ready**, and observe that GitHub creates a branch named `gh-readonly-queue/master/...`, that `ci/circleci: build` reports a result on that branch, and that the PR merges automatically once the check passes. If the PR instead merges instantly with no `gh-readonly-queue` branch, it bypassed the queue (see `Surprises & Discoveries`); merge through **Merge when ready** and avoid using a bypass.
+
+You can confirm a PR actually went through the queue by checking its timeline for the queue event. For PR number N:
+
+    gh api graphql -f query='{repository(owner:"influxdata",name:"docs-v2"){pullRequest(number:N){timelineItems(last:30, itemTypes:[ADDED_TO_MERGE_QUEUE_EVENT, MERGED_EVENT]){nodes{__typename}}}}}'
+
+A queued merge shows an `AddedToMergeQueueEvent` followed by a `MergedEvent`. A bypassed merge shows only `MergedEvent`.
+
+If a queued PR hangs and never merges, the most likely cause is that CircleCI is not building the `gh-readonly-queue/*` branch. Confirm that the CircleCI project setting "Only build pull requests" is OFF (queue branches have no PR, so that setting would skip them), then re-queue the PR.
+
+Phase 2 acceptance is also behavioral. After the `merge_group` trigger lands and `Lint code blocks` is required again, push a PR that changes a canonical content file and merge it through the queue. On the `gh-readonly-queue/master/*` branch you should see both `ci/circleci: build` and `Lint code blocks` report results, and the PR should merge only after both pass. A PR that changes no canonical sources should still merge, because the lint job skips cleanly when there is nothing to lint, and GitHub treats a skipped required check as satisfied.
+
+## Idempotence and Recovery
+
+The settings steps are safe to repeat: setting `strict` to `false` again, or re-adding a required check that is already present, changes nothing. The `test.yml` edits are additive and can be reapplied without harm. To roll the queue back at any time, disable "Require merge queue" in `master` branch protection; no code revert is needed, because the only merged in-repo change is the `pr-autoupdate.yml` deletion. If Phase 2 ever causes the queue to hang, removing `Lint code blocks` from the required checks immediately unblocks it while you investigate.
+
+## Artifacts and Notes
+
+Branch-protection state after Phase 1, for reference:
+
+    $ gh api repos/influxdata/docs-v2/branches/master/protection \
+        --jq '{strict: .required_status_checks.strict, contexts: [.required_status_checks.checks[].context]}'
+    {"strict":false,"contexts":["ci/circleci: build"]}
+
+Evidence that the first post-enable merge (PR #7434) bypassed the queue:
+
+    $ gh api graphql -f query='{repository(owner:"influxdata",name:"docs-v2"){pullRequest(number:7434){autoMergeRequest{enabledAt} timelineItems(last:30, itemTypes:[ADDED_TO_MERGE_QUEUE_EVENT, MERGED_EVENT]){nodes{__typename}}}}}'
+    {"data":{"repository":{"pullRequest":{"autoMergeRequest":null,"timelineItems":{"nodes":[{"__typename":"MergedEvent"}]}}}}}
+
+## Interfaces and Dependencies
+
+The files that must exist and be edited for Phase 2 are `.github/workflows/test.yml` (add `merge_group:`; handle the `merge_group` event in the `detect-changes` job and the `lint-codeblocks` condition) and, unchanged but depended upon, `.circleci/config.yml` (its `build` job already reports `ci/circleci: build` on all branches; its `deploy` job runs only on `master`).
+
+The required status check contexts must match exactly, character for character: `ci/circleci: build` and `Lint code blocks`. The GitHub Actions event fields used by the Phase 2 edits are `github.event.merge_group.base_sha` (the base commit GitHub recorded for the merge group) and `github.sha` (the head of the `gh-readonly-queue/*` branch).
+
+Related work items: issue #7412 (this rollout), issue #7433 (the `Lint code blocks` bug that gates Phase 2), and PR #7434 (Phase 1, merged, which deleted `pr-autoupdate.yml` and introduced this document).
+
+## Revision note
+
+2026-06-30: Rewrote this file from a short decision record into a self-contained ExecPlan following the PLANS.md pattern, because the remaining Phase 2 work needs a novice-followable specification and the rollout produced durable discoveries (queue bypass, build-not-reduced) worth recording. No facts were changed; the decisions and status were carried over and expanded with explicit context, concrete steps, and behavioral acceptance.
