GitLab MR automation switches (auto-fix, auto-merge, and the three review-lifecycle notifications) were stored per task, so enabling one switch on a linked merge request silently enabled it for every other MR linked to the same task, including auto-merge, which can land code unintentionally. Mirrors the equivalent GitHub PR automation fix (#2512) by moving all five switches to a per-MR table, keeping only the auto-fix prompt override and resolved reviewer identity task-level.

Important Changes

  • New gitlab_task_mr_automation_options table keyed (task_id, repository_id, project_path, mr_iid); gitlab_task_mr_options keeps only the prompt override, reviewer username, and a mr_scope_migrated_at marker guarding a one-time, idempotent fan-out migration from the legacy task-level row (never re-enables a switch a user has since turned off, and an MR linked after migration starts all-off).
  • GET/PATCH /api/v1/gitlab/tasks/:taskID/mr-automation and the MCP update_task_mr_automation_kandev / get_task_mr_automation_kandev tools accept optional repository_id/project_path/mr_iid to target one linked MR; omitting identity still fans a patch out to every linked MR, preserving existing agent behavior. Partial identity or an unlinked MR returns 400 and writes nothing.
  • The topbar dropdown now renders one collapsible Automation block per linked MR (labelled Applies to !<iid>) instead of showing a single arbitrary MR's state, or nothing, once 2+ MRs are linked; mr became a required prop on MRAutomationControls.
  • Found and fixed during review: the MR status chip's automation badges still read the task-level aggregate, so a switch enabled on only one of several linked MRs read back as fully off on the chip (including the auto-fix round counter) even while it was actively running. Now reads each MR's own row and lights a badge when any open MR has that switch on.
  • Found and fixed during review: a task with N linked MRs now mounts N MRAutomationControls, each with its own useTaskMRAutomationOptions(taskId) hook writing the same store slot, but each kept private request-ordering counters — an older instance's stale save response could land after a sibling's newer one and silently revert it. Counters now live in a WeakMap keyed by the store API, shared by every mounted instance of a task.

Validation

  • go build -tags fts5 ./..., go vet ./...: clean.
  • go test -tags fts5 -count=1 ./internal/gitlab/... ./internal/mcp/... ./internal/orchestrator/... (ambient GITLAB_HOST/GITLAB_TOKEN/KANDEV_GITLAB_HOST unset): all pass.
  • golangci-lint run ./... --new-from-rev=064b85288: 0 issues.
  • pnpm run typecheck, pnpm run lint, pnpm run i18n:check, pnpm run i18n:ratchet: clean.
  • Full web Vitest suite: 1358 files / 11084 tests passed, 4 skipped, 0 failures.
  • Playwright GitLab specs: 17/17 — desktop chromium 13/13 (mr-automation-options.spec.ts including the two-linked-MR independence spec, mr-status-chip.spec.ts 8/8 including the new two-MR badge spec) and mobile-chrome 4/4 (mobile-mr-automation-options.spec.ts).
  • Live verification against a running instance seeded with a task carrying three linked MRs: per-MR PATCH targets only the named MR; no-identity PATCH fans out to all linked MRs while leaving the task-level prompt override and reviewer untouched; partial identity, an unlinked mr_iid, and an unknown task all fail closed (400/404) and persist nothing; three concurrent per-MR PATCHes land with no lost updates and no collateral column changes; migration fan-out and idempotent replay both hold.

Possible Improvements

Low risk: automation behavior is now stricter (per-MR keyed polling/gating) rather than looser, the migration is idempotent and marker-guarded, and the request-ordering race is closed with a mutation-verified regression test — but see the two open questions below on behavior changes worth a reviewer's explicit sign-off before merge.

Review notes carried from QA (please confirm the two open questions below)

Fixes already applied during QA, listed for visibility (see Important Changes above for detail):

  • MR status chip automation badges reading the task-level aggregate instead of each MR's own row (c214902e9, regression spec in 136351f22). Mutation-verified: reverting the fix fails the new spec at the badge-visibility assertion.
  • Shared request-ordering across multiple mounted MRAutomationControls instances (6883d8a55). Mutation-verified: the regression test fails against the prior per-instance useRef behavior and passes with the WeakMap fix.

Open questions for the author/reviewer:

  • Assumed "no linked MRs → HTTP 400" on a switch patch is intended, not a regression — confirm? A PATCH carrying any of the five switches at a task with zero linked MRs now returns 400 (the task has no linked merge requests). Previously the value persisted on the task row and a later-linked MR inherited it. The prompt override still returns 200 there, and no UI path can hit it (the controls only render per linked MR), but it is a real behavior change for an MCP agent that used to pre-arm switches before opening an MR.
  • Assumed workspace_id is not an authorization input on this route — confirm? GET/PATCH .../tasks/{taskID}/mr-automation succeed with a wrong, bogus, or omitted workspace_id; scoping comes from authorizeTaskMRAccess(taskID) and is intentionally unscoped with auth disabled. A nonexistent task correctly 404s. This is pre-existing route behavior this branch does not change, but it is asymmetric with DELETE /task-mrs/{id}, which does use workspace_id.

Pre-existing issues found during QA, out of scope here, tracked separately:

  • gitlab_task_mrs rows orphan after a hard task delete (no FOREIGN KEY on task_id, no task.deleted subscriber in internal/gitlab, unlike every sibling table). Hygiene only — orphans are never polled. Tracked as a separate Kandev task; github_task_prs has the identical shape, so whether this is intentional "keep the link as history" needs a decision first.
  • A flaky test in apps/web/lib/http-git-server.test.ts (canConnect(port) probing a freed ephemeral port under full parallelism) reproduces on a run that excludes every file this branch touches. Tracked as a separate Kandev task.

Checklist

  • I have performed a self-review of my code.
  • I have manually tested my changes and they work as expected.
  • My changes have tests that cover the new functionality and edge cases.
  • If my change touches UI files (apps/web/), I have added or updated Playwright e2e tests in apps/web/e2e/ and verified them with make test-e2e.
  • I checked whether this affects public docs in docs/public/** and updated them or noted why no docs change is needed.

Walkthrough

GitLab MR automation switches now apply independently to each linked merge request. The backend stores and evaluates per-MR options, APIs accept MR identity selectors, and the web UI renders isolated controls for each MR. Legacy task-level values migrate to per-MR rows.

Changes

Per-MR GitLab automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Contracts and service targeting
apps/backend/internal/gitlab/models_mr_automation.go, apps/backend/internal/gitlab/service_mr_automation.go
MR identity and per-MR options are now explicit. Updates can target one linked MR or fan out to all linked MRs. Aggregate response switches remain for compatibility.
Per-MR persistence and migration
apps/backend/internal/gitlab/store_mr_automation.go, apps/backend/internal/gitlab/store.go, apps/backend/internal/gitlab/store_task_mr_link.go
The store adds per-MR automation rows, migrates legacy task-level switches, scopes resets to affected MRs, and deletes option rows with MR associations.
HTTP and MCP update paths
apps/backend/internal/gitlab/controller_mr_automation.go, apps/backend/internal/mcp/handlers/*, apps/backend/internal/mcp/server/*
PATCH and MCP updates accept repository ID, project path, and MR IID. Invalid, incomplete, or unlinked identities return validation errors.
Lifecycle and service validation
apps/backend/internal/gitlab/*_test.go, apps/backend/internal/orchestrator/*_test.go
Tests cover targeting, fan-out, migration, cleanup, reviewer retention, evaluation isolation, atomic updates, and lifecycle behavior.
Web state and MR controls
apps/web/components/gitlab/*, apps/web/hooks/domains/gitlab/*, apps/web/lib/gitlab/*, apps/web/lib/types/gitlab.ts
Each linked MR receives its own automation controls. Updates include MR identity, optimistic state is MR-aware, and status badges inspect per-MR switches.
E2E coverage and documentation
apps/web/e2e/*, docs/*, apps/web/src/locales/*
E2E tests, seed helpers, documentation, localization, and supporting fixtures describe and verify independent MR automation.
Development environment support
.gitignore, apps/web/eslint.i18n.options.mjs
Manual backend scratch repositories are ignored, and the new localized automation files are included in the i18n guard allowlist.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a019c

The PR correctly scopes automation switches per merge request, but current behavior can still leave task and MR settings inconsistent after a failed update, reuse stale lifecycle state, target the wrong MR from malformed input, or execute unintended commands in the seed script. These are bounded but concrete merge-readiness risks that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Poem

A rabbit hops through MRs in a row,
Each keeps its switches in its own burrow.
Old flags migrate, new scopes align,
Bad links return errors by design.
“!1” and “!2” now dance apart—
Per-MR automation has found its heart.

Claude Code Review — PR #2676

Branch: feature/scope-gitlab-mr-auto-ty5main
Scope: GitLab MR automation switches migrated from task-level to per-MR storage


Findings

🔴 Blocker

use-task-mr-automation.test.tsx — "reverts the optimistic update" test passes vacuously

The test at lines ~172–187 calls update({ prompt_on_closed: true }) with no MR identity, expects the request to fail, then asserts:

expect(result.current.options?.prompt_on_closed).toBe(false);

But applyMRAutomationPatchOptimistically splits switch fields from task-level fields: switch keys (including prompt_on_closed) go into switchPatch and are merged only into mr_options entries — never into the top-level taskLevel spread. So options.prompt_on_closed (the task-level aggregate) is false before the patch, false during the optimistic state (only mr_options[0].prompt_on_closed was set to true), and false after the revert. The assertion is trivially true at all three stages. The actual revert target — mr_options[0].prompt_on_closed — is never verified.

Fix (also add an intermediate assertion to guard against the optimistic phase):

// After optimistic update fires (before rejection resolves):
// expect(result.current.options?.mr_options?.[0]?.prompt_on_closed).toBe(true);

// After revert:
expect(result.current.options?.mr_options?.[0]?.prompt_on_closed).toBe(false);

Without this fix the revert branch in performUpdate has zero effective test coverage for switch-only patches.


🟡 Suggestions

store_mr_automation.gounmigratedMROptionRows uses write pool for a read query (line ~151)

s.db.Query(...) is used to SELECT unmigrated rows. The package convention is s.ro for reads and s.db only for writes (enforced throughout the store). Using the write pool here monopolises a write connection during what could be a non-trivial fan-out scan at startup. Switch to s.ro.Query(...).


store_mr_automation.goRefreshTaskMRFixCheckpoint DO UPDATE unconditionally NULLs columns

DO UPDATE SET
  last_fix_enqueued_at = NULL,
  last_fix_session_id  = NULL

Any conflict on (task_id, repository_id, project_path, mr_iid) resets the checkpoint regardless of why the conflict occurred or what the current values are. The caller invariant (this is only called when starting a fresh auto-fix cycle) is not documented at the call site. A comment here and/or on the function explaining when nulling is safe would prevent a future caller from using this for a non-resetting upsert.


service_mr_automation.go — two-phase write is not atomic (lines ~283–292)

UpdateTaskMRAutomationOptions (task-level: reviewer username) commits its own transaction, then UpdateTaskMRAutomationOptionsForMRs (per-MR switches) commits a second all-or-nothing transaction. If the first succeeds and the second fails, the reviewer username is persisted but the switch changes are not. For the current usage (username + switches in one PATCH) this leaves the DB in a partially-applied state.

The severity depends on how often username and switches are patched together. If it is rare, document the partial-apply behaviour. If it needs to be atomic, both writes belong in a single outer transaction.

Also, the comment on the second call says "One transaction for every target" — it should say "One transaction covering all targets".


service_mr_automation.goGetTaskMRAutomationEvaluation calls rebindTaskMRReviewerFromConfig on every poll cycle (line ~130)

rebindTaskMRReviewerFromConfig is a write (it may UPDATE the reviewer username from config). This runs on every poll-cycle read. If the username has not changed, the write is a no-op — but it still opens a write transaction on each evaluation. Consider caching the bound username or moving the rebind to the write path (i.e., after a reviewer config change) to keep the read path read-only.


controller_mr_automation.goContentLength == 0 guard is redundant (line ~106)

if ctx.Request.ContentLength == 0 {
    ...
}

json.NewDecoder(body).Decode(&patch) already returns io.EOF for an empty body, which is handled by the surrounding error path. ContentLength: 0 with a non-empty body is also valid HTTP. The guard can safely be removed; it adds a code path that is not exercised by tests.


Open Questions (from PR description)

Q1: Is it intentional that patching a switch when zero MRs are linked returns 400?
Yes — service_mr_automation.go:276–278 explicitly returns ErrTaskMRNotLinked when len(targets) == 0. The PR description's own open question answers itself. This is a behaviour change from the legacy task-level storage where a pre-linked switch would persist and fan-out on first link. If MCP callers need to pre-arm switches before opening an MR, the zero-MR case needs explicit handling (write to task row, fan-out on link). Otherwise document the new constraint in the MCP handler.

Q2: workspace_id is in the response but not validated on the inbound MCP path — asymmetry intentional?
The WorkspaceID field in TaskMRAutomationResponse is JSON-visible specifically because NATS event-bus round-trips through JSON. The MCP handler validates identity via the task store (task must exist and belong to the right workspace); the workspace_id in the response is for the subscriber, not the caller. This is consistent with how other event-bus payloads are structured in the codebase.


Summary

File Line Severity Finding
use-task-mr-automation.test.tsx ~184 🔴 Blocker Revert test checks task-level aggregate, not per-MR field — passes vacuously
store_mr_automation.go ~151 🟡 Suggestion Read query uses write pool (s.db) instead of s.ro
store_mr_automation.go RefreshTaskMRFixCheckpoint 🟡 Suggestion Unconditional NULL of checkpoint columns needs caller invariant documented
service_mr_automation.go ~283–292 🟡 Suggestion Two-phase write not atomic; misleading comment on second call
service_mr_automation.go ~130 🟡 Suggestion rebindTaskMRReviewerFromConfig write on every read-path evaluation
controller_mr_automation.go ~106 🟡 Suggestion ContentLength == 0 guard redundant — io.EOF already covers it

Verdict

Blocked — fix the revert-test blocker before merge.

The migration logic, WeakMap request-ordering, externalGeneration WS-push guard, fan-out atomicity, identity matching, and deleteTaskMR cascade are all correct. The optimistic-patch routing (applyMRAutomationPatchOptimistically) is correct — but the test that verifies it reverts correctly checks the wrong field and gives false confidence. All other findings are non-blocking suggestions.

Comment thread apps/backend/internal/gitlab/service_mr_automation.go
ayattara-sfl and others added 12 commits August 21, 2026 05:22
The five automation switches (auto_fix_enabled, auto_merge_enabled,
prompt_on_review_requested, prompt_on_merged, prompt_on_closed) were
stored task-level in gitlab_task_mr_options, so toggling one linked
MR's control changed every MR on the same task.

Adds a new per-MR gitlab_task_mr_automation_options table keyed by
(task_id, repository_id, project_path, mr_iid), a marker-guarded
one-time fan-out migration from the legacy task-level row, and
threads the per-MR values through the store, service, HTTP
controller, orchestrator consumers, and MCP handlers. The auto-fix
prompt override and resolved reviewer username remain task-level.

Also forwards MR identity (repository_id/project_path/mr_iid) and
the auto_fix_enabled/auto_merge_enabled/auto_fix_prompt_override
fields through the update_task_mr_automation_kandev MCP tool
wrapper, which previously silently dropped them before they reached
the WS handler.
MRAutomationControls now requires a concrete mr prop instead of an
optional single ?? undefined, since all five switches are per-MR.
The multi-MR topbar dropdown renders one collapsible Automation
block per linked MR, each labelled with its MR number
(mrAutomationAppliesToMR), auto-expanding Review follow-up only
when that MR's own switches are on.

Element ids and aria-describedby targets are suffixed with the MR
association id so simultaneously mounted per-MR blocks in the
dropdown don't collide. use-task-mr-automation's optimistic update
merges a patch into the targeted MR's entry in mr_options instead
of the task-level aggregate.

Adds a two-linked-MR independence spec to both the desktop dropdown
and mobile touch-dropdown Playwright suites, extracting
seedGitLabMRData from seedGitLabReview so seeding a second MR on
the same workspace doesn't invalidate the first MR's mock data
(configureGitLab rebuilds the cached workspace client on every
call).
Updates the GitLab integration spec's Automation section and data
model, the lifecycle-notifications ADR (amended note on the
switches' scope moving from task to per-MR), and the two public
docs pages describing the MR topbar Automation controls.
Review follow-ups on the per-MR automation switches.

Unlinking an MR left its gitlab_task_mr_automation_options row behind,
so re-linking the same MR — by hand or through push-detection
auto-link — silently re-armed whatever was configured before, including
auto-merge. No surface showed it (taskMRAutomationOptionsList hides rows
whose MR is not linked) but the evaluator still read it.
DeleteTaskMRForWorkspace now drops the row in the same transaction.

The fan-out that applies a switch patch to every linked MR ran one
transaction per MR, so a failure partway through returned an error to
the caller with the switch already armed on the MRs committed before it.
UpdateTaskMRAutomationOptionsForMRs applies the whole batch in a single
transaction instead; the single-MR entry point delegates to it.

A switch update on a task with no linked MRs returned 200 and stored
nothing, because the switches only exist per MR. It now fails with the
ErrTaskMRNotLinked sentinel, so HTTP answers 400 and MCP a validation
error. The task-level auto-fix prompt override stays settable.

The one-off manual seed script hardcoded an absolute path from the
environment it was written in; it now resolves from __dirname, and its
scratch directory is gitignored.

… layers

The orchestrator mock's GetTaskMRAutomationEvaluation ignored the MR
identity arguments and returned one shared options value, so no
orchestrator test could express "enabled on MR A, off on MR B" — the
one case the task called for. It now honours an optional per-IID map;
left nil it behaves exactly as before, so existing tests are unchanged.

TestHandleTaskMRLifecycleAutomation_AutoMergeOnOneMRDoesNotMergeAnother
enters through handleTaskMRLifecycleAutomation rather than calling
handleTaskMRCIAutomation with hand-built options, since the per-MR
resolution under test happens in GetTaskMRAutomationEvaluation. Verified
non-vacuous: enabling auto-merge on the sibling MR makes it fail with
"MergeMRForAutomation calls for MR !2 = 1, want 0".

TestControllerPatchTaskMRAutomation_RejectsSwitchesWithNoLinkedMRs adds
the HTTP half of the zero-target rule, which was only covered at the
service layer: a switch patch on a task with no linked MRs answers 400,
while the task-level auto-fix prompt override still answers 200.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Store.DeleteTaskMR cascaded to gitlab_task_mr_state but not to the new
gitlab_task_mr_automation_options table, unlike DeleteTaskMRForWorkspace.
A caller routed through it would leave an enabled switch — including
auto-merge — for the next link of the same MR to inherit silently.

Also correct the spec's dropdown description: only the nested Review
follow-up group is collapsible, not the whole per-MR Automation block.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The chip's auto-fix and auto-merge badges read the response's task-level
booleans, which this branch redefined as an aggregate ("every linked MR
has this on"). With auto-fix enabled on one of two linked MRs the
aggregate is false, so selectBadgeMR returned null and the chip showed
no auto-fix badge and no N/10 round counter while auto-fix was actively
spending its round budget. Auto-merge under-reported the same way.

Read each MR's own mr_options row instead, light a badge when any open
MR has that switch on, and pick the round from the MRs whose own
auto-fix is enabled. Mirrors the merged GitHub side (kdlbs#2512,
automationForPR / automationForPRs in pr-status-automation-badges.tsx);
falls back to the task-level booleans only when mr_options is absent.

Fixtures that paired open MRs with an empty mr_options modelled a state
the backend cannot emit, so they asserted nothing about the per-MR path;
they now carry a matching row.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The existing badge spec links a single MR, where the response's aggregate
booleans and that MR's own switches are always equal — so it passed both
before and after the per-MR badge fix and proved nothing about it.

Add a two-MR case that arms automation on one MR only, pins the aggregate
as false first so a pass cannot come from the old code path, and asserts
the chip still renders both badges with the armed MR's round.

Mutation-verified: reverting mr-status-chip-selection.ts to the aggregate
reads fails this spec at the auto-fix badge visibility assertion.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ances

A task with N linked MRs now mounts N MRAutomationControls, each
with its own useTaskMRAutomationOptions(taskId) instance reading
and writing the same task's store slot. Each instance previously
kept private useRef counters for request ordering, so an older
instance never learned about a newer instance's save and could
commit its own stale response over a fresher one from a sibling
instance.

Moves refreshRequestRef/updateRequestRef/updateSettleCounterRef
into a WeakMap keyed by the store API, shared by every hook
instance reading the same store, so ordering guards see saves and
refreshes from all mounted instances of a task, not just their own.

Regression test mutation-verified: fails with the previous
per-instance useRef behavior, passes with the WeakMap fix.
check-new-e2e-sleeps.mjs flags any new e2e/ file's unconditional
setTimeout-based sleep; manual-seed-gitlab-mr-automation.ts's poll
loop for the initial agent-setup profile needs the sanctioned
dwell(ms, category, reason) helper instead, categorized as
poll-interval.

Greptile Summary

Moves GitLab automation switches from task scope to per-linked-MR persistence and updates the API, MCP tools, lifecycle evaluation, frontend controls, status badges, migration, and cleanup behavior accordingly.

  • Adds per-MR switch storage with one-time legacy fan-out migration.
  • Supports targeted or task-wide automation updates across HTTP and MCP.
  • Renders independent controls and badge state for each linked MR.
  • Shares frontend request ordering across controls mounted for the same task.

Confidence Score: 3/5

This PR should not merge until mixed automation updates are atomic and the missing real-locale entries are added.

A failed mixed update can leave task-level configuration committed without its requested MR switches, and the incomplete locale catalogs cause the required frontend i18n validation to fail.

Files Needing Attention: apps/backend/internal/gitlab/service_mr_automation.go, apps/backend/internal/gitlab/store_mr_automation.go, and apps/web/src/locales/*/gitlab.json

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
apps/backend/internal/gitlab/service_mr_automation.go Implements per-MR targeting and aggregation, but mixed requests can partially commit because task-level and per-MR writes use separate transactions.
apps/backend/internal/gitlab/store_mr_automation.go Adds per-MR schema, migration, atomic fan-out, and scoped checkpoint resets; its transaction boundary contributes to the mixed-request atomicity gap.
apps/backend/internal/gitlab/controller_mr_automation.go Extends PATCH decoding and client-error mapping for optional MR identity.
apps/backend/internal/mcp/handlers/task_mr_automation.go Forwards optional MR identity through the MCP automation update path.
apps/web/hooks/domains/gitlab/use-task-mr-automation.ts Adds per-MR optimistic updates and shared request-ordering state for sibling controls.
apps/web/components/gitlab/mr-automation-controls.tsx Scopes switch updates and displayed state to the specific linked MR.
apps/web/components/gitlab/mr-status-chip-selection.ts Derives automation badges from each open MR's own options rather than the task aggregate.
apps/web/src/locales/en/gitlab.json Adds the per-MR scope label, but required real-locale counterparts are missing.

111-119: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update the remaining automation contract text.

Line 122 still states that the auto-fix cap is per task. The new per-MR state makes that cap per MR.

The endpoint reference at Lines 283-300 also omits mr_options, aggregate top-level switch semantics, MR selectors (repository_id, project_path, mr_iid), and selector-free fan-out. Update these sections in the same PR so API and MCP clients can construct and interpret per-MR requests correctly.

As per coding guidelines: “If your changes make any section of this file outdated or inaccurate ... update the relevant sections of this file as part of the same PR.”

363-398: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Test all review-follow-up switches after reload.

This test enables only prompt_on_review_requested. It does not verify prompt_on_merged or prompt_on_closed. It also does not verify review-follow-up state after reload. A regression in these per-MR settings can pass while the test states that the switches survive reload. Enable all three switches for MR A, verify MR B remains disabled, then expand both reloaded controls and verify the same state.

1141-1148: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Describe auto_fix_prompt_override as task-level.

auto_fix_prompt_override is not applied to linked MRs. It is a task-level setting and remains valid when the task has no linked MRs. Replace the current wording with task-wide wording that states MR identity does not scope this field.

The PR objective states that the task-level row retains auto_fix_prompt_override.

196-218: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a case for options that carry no entry for the rendered MR.

The removed test covered the "no single MR" render path. Every remaining case now supplies an mr_options entry whose project_path and mr_iid match makeMR(), so the per-MR lookup always succeeds.

A mismatch is reachable at runtime. The options response can arrive before a newly linked MR appears, or after an MR is unlinked, which leaves mr_options without a matching entry while the control still renders for that MR.

Add a case that sets mr_options: [] (or an entry for a different mr_iid) and asserts the switches render off and the help buttons stay hidden. This pins the component's fallback instead of leaving it unverified.

💚 Suggested additional case
it("renders switches off when options carry no entry for this MR", () => {
  hookMocks.options = makeOptions({
    mr_options: [makeMROptions({ mr_iid: 99, auto_fix_enabled: true, auto_merge_enabled: true })],
  });
  renderControls();
  expect(screen.getByLabelText(AUTO_MERGE_LABEL)).not.toBeChecked();
  expect(screen.queryByTestId("mr-auto-fix-round-help")).toBeNull();
  expect(screen.queryByTestId("mr-auto-merge-help")).toBeNull();
});

Inline comments:
In `@apps/backend/internal/gitlab/service_mr_automation.go`:
- Around line 283-293: Make the task-level update in
UpdateTaskMRAutomationOptions and the per-MR switch update in
UpdateTaskMRAutomationOptionsForMRs execute within one shared transaction,
committing only after both succeed and rolling back both on failure. Preserve
the existing target and patch behavior while eliminating the separate commit
between these calls.

In `@apps/backend/internal/gitlab/store_task_mr_link.go`:
- Around line 397-410: Update DeleteTaskMRForWorkspace to also delete the
matching gitlab_task_mr_state row using the association’s task, repository,
project path, and MR IID, and return a wrapped error if that deletion fails.
Keep the existing automation-options cleanup intact.

In `@apps/backend/internal/mcp/server/handlers.go`:
- Around line 383-385: Update the mr_iid parsing logic to reject non-finite,
non-positive, or non-integral float64 values before converting to int, while
preserving valid positive integer IDs. Add a regression test for the handler
confirming 7.5 returns a tool error and does not call the backend.

In `@apps/web/e2e/manual-seed-gitlab-mr-automation.ts`:
- Around line 17-18: Replace shell-based Git execution with execFileSync("git",
args, options) for every Git invocation in the script, including the commands
near lines 33 and 42, so KANDEV_SEED_REPO_ROOT is passed as an argument without
shell interpretation; preserve the existing Git arguments and execution options.

In `@apps/web/e2e/tests/gitlab/mr-automation-options.spec.ts`:
- Around line 41-87: The duplicated seedTaskWithLinkedMRs setup must be
centralized into one shared E2E helper. In
apps/web/e2e/tests/gitlab/mr-automation-options.spec.ts lines 41-87 and
apps/web/e2e/tests/gitlab/mobile-mr-automation-options.spec.ts lines 63-109,
remove the local seedTaskWithLinkedMRs implementations and import/use the shared
helper, preserving GitLab configuration, MR seeding, task creation, and MR
linking behavior at both sites.
