PR hand-off tracker

What it does

• When a session sends the Sync Overseer a message that names one of its own branches, Omniscio records that hand-off right away: the branch, its exact commit, the folder, the session that sent it and the time.
• The sending session gets a receipt in the reply naming what was recorded, so it can finish as soon as it has handed off.
• Every 30 minutes Omniscio asks GitHub, in one combined question, which waiting hand-offs now have an open or merged pull request containing their commit.
• It does not matter which computer or account opened the pull request; only the commit counts.

When you hear about it

• Under 4 hours: nothing. Publishing takes time and nobody is interrupted.
• At 4 hours with no pull request: the Dev Ops Overseer gets one message listing the late branches.
• At 6 hours with no pull request: you get one inbox card per branch, naming it. The card removes itself when the pull request appears.
• A closed pull request that was never merged does not count; the branch stays on the late list.
• If GitHub cannot be reached, nothing is escalated or cleared on that check. A long outage is reported to the Dev Ops Overseer, never to you as missing work.

What it does not cover

• It stops watching a branch once a pull request containing it exists; review and merging are tracked elsewhere.
• Each computer tracks the hand-offs sent on it.
• If the Sync Overseer rebuilds a branch onto a new commit, it declares that commit so the tracker follows it.
