Teknium 70151dd549 feat(update): updates.parked_branch_strategy gates the in-place merge; switch stays the default
Adapts the in-place branch update from PR #89507 (@willfrombr) onto the
switch-by-default behavior: the deterministic switch path remains the
default so non-interactive updates (desktop, gateway, cron) never dead-end
on a merge conflict, and deliberate custom-branch users opt in with
updates.parked_branch_strategy: update_in_place. --switch-branch overrides
the in-place strategy for one run (deep feature branches that must not
accumulate update merge commits). Docs + config comments + tests cover
all three routes.

Contributor email → GitHub login mappings

This directory replaces appending entries to AUTHOR_MAP in scripts/release.py. The old dict caused constant merge conflicts when several salvage PRs landed at once — every PR edited the same lines of the same file. Here, each mapping is its own file, and file additions never conflict.

Adding a mapping

One file per commit-author email, under emails/:

python3 scripts/add_contributor.py <email> <github-login>
# or by hand:
echo "<github-login>" > contributors/emails/<email>
  • File name = the exact commit-author email (as shown by git log --format='%ae').
  • File content = the GitHub login on the first non-comment line. Lines starting with # are comments (use them for the PR reference).

Example — contributors/emails/jane.doe@example.com:

janedoe
# PR #12345 salvage (gateway: fix session key routing)

Rules

  • Do NOT add new entries to AUTHOR_MAP in scripts/release.py. That dict is frozen legacy data; the release tooling merges it with this directory (directory entries win on duplicates).
  • GitHub noreply emails (<id>+<login>@users.noreply.github.com and <login>@users.noreply.github.com) auto-resolve — no file needed.
  • The Contributor Attribution Check CI job fails a PR whose commits carry an unmapped email; the failure message prints the exact command to run.
