Description

Remove the "PR Merge Policy Contract" author checklist section from .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md. That author-side gate has a canonical copy in PR_MERGE_POLICY.md §5 (already linked from the ## Checklist section), so the template kept a duplicate. Replaced it with an invisible reminder comment.

Motivation

The template pre-fills every PR body with that internal author checklist, so contributors end up publishing it — with §-numbered policy internals and shell commands — into public PR bodies. The checklist is meant to be run locally before "Ready for review", not shipped in the PR description. Keeping it only in PR_MERGE_POLICY.md §5 removes the duplication and the accidental exposure while preserving the reference via the existing Checklist link.

Type of Change

  • model — add/extend model support (models/** + registration seam + model kernels only)
  • kernel — add/optimize a compute kernel (batchgen_kernels/** + in-tree kernel dirs)
  • core — change scheduling/serving/runtime scaffolding (the only type that may)
  • fix — narrow bug fix (+ a regression test)
  • infra — build / CI / packaging / scripts / Docker
  • docs — documentation only

.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md mod drop the duplicated author pre-merge checklist; add an invisible reminder pointing to PR_MERGE_POLICY.md §5

Checklist

The author pre-merge checklist has a canonical copy in PR_MERGE_POLICY.md §5,
linked from the Checklist section. Keeping a duplicate in the template caused it
to be pre-filled into (and published in) every PR body. Replaced with an
invisible reminder comment pointing to §5.
