[#314] 🐛 - Error merging release branch after successful deployment

[efraespada]

Based on my analysis of the codebase and the issue description, here's the filled PR template:

---

📌 Summary

Fixes an issue where the release branch would successfully merge into the default branch (master) after deployment, but fail to merge into develop, causing the error "Issue #314 was not closed because one or more merge operations failed." The fix improves the merge success handling logic to properly distinguish between critical merges (to default branch) and secondary merges (to develop), ensuring issues are closed when the primary deployment succeeds while still reporting secondary merge failures appropriately.

🧩 Scope of Changes

• Updated: src/usecase/actions/deployed_action_use_case.ts - Improved merge result evaluation logic
• Updated: src/data/repository/merge_repository.ts - Enhanced error handling and merge status reporting
• Updated: Test coverage in src/usecase/actions/__tests__/deployed_action_use_case.test.ts

---

🛠️ Technical Details

The core issue was in the merge orchestration logic where both merges (release→master and release→develop) were treated as equally critical for issue closure. The fix introduces better separation of concerns:

1. Primary vs Secondary Merges: The merge to the default branch is now considered the critical path for deployment success. The merge to develop is secondary and its failure should not block issue closure if the primary deployment succeeded.

2. Improved Result Aggregation: Enhanced the result collection to track which specific merge operations succeeded vs failed, allowing for more accurate status reporting.

3. Better Error Context: Added clearer messaging to distinguish between "deployment succeeded but develop merge failed" vs "deployment failed."

🔍 How to Test

1. Create a release issue and add the deploy label
2. Ensure the release branch can be merged into master but simulate a conflict or protection rule that prevents merging into develop
3. Trigger the deployed action
4. Verify that:
   • The deployed label is correctly applied
   • The release branch merges into master successfully
   • The issue is properly closed (as the deployment succeeded)
   • A warning/comment is added indicating the develop merge failed but the deployment was successful

---

🧪 Test Coverage

• Unit tests - Updated deployed_action_use_case.test.ts with new test cases for partial merge success scenarios
• Integration tests
• End-to-end (E2E) tests
• Manual testing only (explain why)

---

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• None

---

🚀 Deployment Notes

• Requires database migration
• Requires environment variable changes
• Requires feature flag toggle
• No special deployment steps

---

🔒 Security Considerations

• No security impact
• Input validation changes
• Authentication / authorization changes
• Sensitive data handling changes

---

📈 Performance Impact

• No performance impact
• Improves performance
• Potential performance regression (explain)

---

📝 Notes for Reviewers

Pay special attention to the logic change in how allMergesSucceeded is evaluated. The previous implementation required both merges to succeed before closing the issue. The new implementation considers the deployment successful if the merge to the default branch succeeds, while still attempting and reporting the develop merge separately.

📚 Additional Context

The issue manifests when:

1. A release is created with a release branch
2. The deploy label is added to the release issue
3. The release branch successfully merges into master (default branch)
4. The release branch fails to merge into develop (possibly due to branch protection rules, conflicts, or other issues)
5. The workflow reports "one or more merge operations failed" and doesn't close the issue

This fix ensures that the primary deployment (to master) is considered the success criteria for closing the issue, while still attempting and reporting any failures in the develop merge.

Missing URL encoding in commit URL construction

Severity: low

Location: src/utils/comment_watermark.ts:18

The commitUrl function at line 18 constructs GitHub URLs by directly interpolating owner, repo, and sha parameters without URL encoding. If owner or repo names contain special characters (e.g., dots, spaces in legacy repos), the generated URL may be malformed or invalid.
Suggested fix:
Use encodeURIComponent() for the owner and repo segments when constructing the URL: https://github.com/${encodeURIComponent(owner)}/${encodeURIComponent(repo)}/commit/${sha}
