Suggested test: copilot/create-pull-request-auto-merge-strategy #10527

Motivation

github/gh-aw#49412 — safe-outputs.create-pull-request.auto-merge now accepts explicit merge strategies (squash, merge, rebase) in addition to the existing boolean, mapping to GraphQL PullRequestMergeMethod for enablePullRequestAutoMerge. Fixes github/gh-aw#49377.

Proposed test

• Workflow file: test-copilot-create-pull-request-auto-merge.md
• Trigger: workflow_dispatch
• Engine: copilot
• Safe output: create-pull-request with auto-merge: squash
• Variant: standard

Minimal test prompt sketch

Copy test-copilot-create-pull-request.md's structure, add auto-merge: squash under safe-outputs.create-pull-request, and use a samples: block so it's deterministic. The agent creates a small PR; assertion is that the compiled lock file/PR request includes the auto-merge GraphQL call with the squash strategy.

New fixtures or secrets needed

None — reuses the main repo. Auto-merge itself may require branch protection/settings enabling auto-merge on githubnext/gh-aw-test; verify this is already enabled (existing PR tests don't need it since they don't request auto-merge).

Notes

No existing test exercises auto-merge at all (checked existing-tests.json and create-pull-request* variants — none reference it). If native GitHub auto-merge can't actually complete in a test repo without additional approvals, this test may only be able to assert the safe-output request succeeded, not that the PR actually merged.
