Conversation
A reviewer approves a PR and the ADFA ticket stays where it was, because moving it depends on someone remembering. The board then stops matching reality, which makes standups and planning unreliable. This adds a workflow that moves the linked ticket to QA on an approving review. Testing happens on the feature branch, not on stage: every push to a non-main branch already builds an APK, ships it to the Firebase testers group, and posts a Slack notification. The build QA needs therefore exists the moment the PR is approved, which is when the ticket should enter QA. Jira's transitions are gated and linear, so a ticket left behind in To Do or In Progress cannot jump straight to QA. The job walks it forward one hop at a time, resolving each hop by target status name from the live transitions endpoint rather than hardcoding transition IDs. Tickets already at or past QA are left alone; nothing ever moves backwards. Three guards are specific to pull_request_review, which runs in the base repo context with full access to secrets even for pull requests from forks: - No actions/checkout, so no pull request code ever runs on the runner. - Every payload field is read through github-script's context rather than interpolated into a shell, so a crafted branch name or PR title is never parsed as source. - The repo is public and any user may submit an approving review, which fires this event without satisfying branch protection. The job requires an author_association of OWNER, MEMBER, or COLLABORATOR. A Jira outage or auth failure produces a warning, never a red check. The workflow deliberately does not gate on the build being green: if the build were red at approval time and went green later, no review event would fire again and the ticket would silently never move, reproducing the failure this is meant to eliminate. Verified against live Jira using a throwaway ticket, since deleted: a ticket in To Do walked three hops to QA, a second approval was a no-op, and both community/ and keyless branches were skipped.

Two review findings. Node's fetch imposes no deadline on a response, so a hung or half-delivered reply from Jira would stall the job rather than fail it. Every request now carries AbortSignal.timeout(30s), which routes the abort into the existing catch and keeps it a warning. author_association does not prove write access: an org member may have no access to this repository at all, and a collaborator may be read-only. Both would have passed the old guard. The job now asks for the reviewer's effective permission and continues only for admin or write -- the legacy permission field reports maintain as write, so those two values cover admin, maintain, and write. The association test stays only as a cheap pre-filter that avoids starting a runner for a drive-by approval; it is no longer the authorization decision. The lookup fails closed. GitHub does not document which GITHUB_TOKEN permission this endpoint needs, so the job requests contents: read and, if the lookup fails anyway, warns and leaves the ticket untouched rather than falling back to the weaker signal. The first approval after merge will show in the Actions log whether the grant is sufficient. Verified by running the script extracted from the YAML against live Jira with the github-script globals stubbed, using a throwaway ticket since deleted: read permission skipped, a failing lookup warned and made no change, a 1 ms timeout aborted into the catch without throwing, write walked To Do to QA in three hops, and a second approval was a no-op.

actionlintis clean, and the embedded script passesnode --checkwhen wrapped in an async function the waygithub-scriptruns it.Behavior was verified against live Jira: the script was extracted from the YAML and executed with the
github-scriptglobals stubbed, so the code exercised was byte-identical to what CI will run. A throwaway ticket was used and has been deleted.To Do, reviewer haswriteQATo Do -> In Progress -> Code review -> QAreadcommunity/branchThat live run caught a defect the linters could not: the ticket comment rendered the PR URL twice, because the link text and the href were both the raw URL. Fixed to a single link node reading "pull request #NNNN", confirmed by reading the stored ADF back from the API.
Not yet proven end to end, because a workflow only takes effect once it is on the default branch. The first real approval after merge is the true test; if it misbehaves the failure mode is a warning in the Actions log, not a broken PR.
Follow-up worth deciding
ADFA-5316 added to
CLAUDE.md: "when a ticket looks ready to advance, offer to move it; don't transition it silently." That rule is aimed at Claude, and this CI job deliberately does the opposite. Happy to add a sentence distinguishing the agent rule from the CI automation, here or in a follow-up, so the two do not read as contradictory.
