Ryan Hughes d87686ca4f Track upstream branches as pinned releases on an unattended lane
Since publishing moved to CI on merge, a package whose PKGBUILD never
changes while its source moves was never rebuilt: omarchy-dev and
omarchy-settings-dev followed quattro through "#branch=" and a pkgver()
function, and nothing in this repository changed when quattro did. The
host timers that used to notice are off, so edge fell days behind.

The rule now: no git source without a commit or tag pin
(tests/pinned-sources.sh, run in CI). A package that has to follow a
branch declares a git_branch upstream watch, and the pin moves through
the same PR/build/publish path as every other version bump.

Watch (helpers/upstream-watch.py)
  git_branch gains tag_pattern: the newest release tag in the pinned
  commit's own history, exposed as {tag}/{version}/{distance}, so a
  branch build is versioned <tag>.r<n>.g<sha>, above the release it
  follows and below the next one. One blobless clone per branch per
  run, shared by every package on it. min_release_age selects the
  newest commit older than the window, so a push burst builds once.

Lane (helpers/package-metadata.sh, bin/sync-upstream --lane)
  "auto_merge": true moves a package from the reviewed 6-hourly sync
  PR to the unattended lane. Packages pinned from the same branch move
  together: a failure on one restores the others and fails the group,
  so the dev pair can never ship from two quattro commits.

Tracker (.github/workflows/track-branches.yml)
  Every two hours: pin, open one PR with a GitHub App token, enable
  auto-merge. Branch protection still gates the merge on result,
  self-tests and build-isolation. A tip that fails to build stays an
  open red PR until the next tick supersedes it. The App is required:
  a PR opened with GITHUB_TOKEN has its checks held for approval and
  its auto-merge would not fire publish.yml.

The reviewed workflows (sync-upstream, sync-rebuilds) open their PRs
with the same App so their builds start without a maintainer clicking
"Approve workflows to run"; without the App they fall back to
GITHUB_TOKEN and behave as before.

Recipes
  The dev pair pins _commit and a real sha256sum, keeps the OMARCHY_SRC
  override, and drops pkgver(). Its r-number stays the branch's total
  commit count because the published history used it and pacman must
  never see the version go down. omasnap-git is new: omacom/omasnap
  main, versioned <tag>.r<distance>.g<sha>, provides/conflicts omasnap.

name: Track upstream branches
# The unattended lane. Packages marked "auto_merge": true follow a moving
# upstream branch (omarchy-dev and omarchy-settings-dev on quattro, omasnap-git
# on main) rather than tagged releases, so nothing in this repository changes
# when their source does. This workflow makes each new branch tip a commit pin
# in the recipe, which publish.yml then treats like any other version bump:
# the PR builds on the droplets, auto-merge lands it when `result` is green,
# and the merge publishes the artifacts. A tip that fails to build stays an
# unmerged red PR that the next tick supersedes.
#
# The PR is opened with a GitHub App token, not GITHUB_TOKEN: a pull request
# created with the workflow token gets its CI runs held for manual approval,
# and an auto-merge it enabled would not fire the publish workflow. The App
# needs Contents: write and Pull requests: write on this repository; its id
# and private key live in the PKGS_BOT_APP_ID / PKGS_BOT_PRIVATE_KEY secrets.

Automated pin of packages that follow a moving upstream branch
(`"auto_merge": true` in `.omarchy/package.json`). Each package's
`_commit` now points at the branch tip that has been there for at
least its `min_release_age`.
This PR auto-merges once the build checks pass. A failing build
leaves it open; the next tracker run replaces it with the newer tip.
