Overview tab

The Overview tab is where a pull request opens. It answers "can this land, and if not, why not?", then shows the AI review, the checks, the people and the description, in five sections, top to bottom.

#Can it land

• Status: Limn's verdict, for example ready to merge, blocked, behind base, conflicts, draft, or in the merge queue. See Can it land?
• Conflicts: shown when the branch conflicts with its base, with the way to resolve it.
• Auto-merge: whether Merge when ready is armed, and what it is waiting for.
• Blocked: why GitHub says the pull request is blocked. See below.
• Actions: Show actions reveals approve, request changes, merge and close. See The actions.

Why a pull request is blocked

GitHub says "blocked" for many different reasons and does not say which. Limn lists the facts it can see, the ones GitHub itself confirms first:

• "a reviewer requested changes" or "required reviews aren't in yet", from GitHub's review decision;
• "CI is red on the head commit", "checks are still running" or "a required check hasn't reported yet";
• "N review threads aren't resolved on GitHub", with how many of them look addressed;
• or "nothing we can see explains it", when none of these applies.

#AI review

With the AI features on, a card shows the latest AI review: its verdict and commit, its findings, the earlier review's findings fixed or still open, the CI review, what was posted, when it ran, and the one action you need (Review, Re-review or Open review). It is the same card as the side panel on Open pull requests. See AI Review tab.

#Checks

A short summary of the checks, which opens to the full list. Choose a check's name to read its log in Limn; the small link beside it opens the run on GitHub. A check marked Flaky has both passed and failed on the same commit. See CI logs.

#People

• Reviews: each reviewer's latest standing.
• Requested: who has been asked and not yet reviewed.
• Suggested: reviewers Limn suggests from the code owners and the repository's history, each with Assign.
• Bots and Bot activity: which review bots commented, and how many of their threads need a look.
