latest commit status is `pending`. Once all reported work is terminal, it requests a SHA-pinned merge. A failed optional check does not prevent the
request, but GitHub rejects it when any required condition is unsatisfied.

Before merging, the App waits until the active automerge label has been present for 10 seconds, then checks the pull request again. Removing the label
during this grace period cancels the merge.

When new commits are pushed, the App removes either automerge label. Re-add a label after the new commit is ready to opt in again.
