fix(origin): mergeability verdict for another base is no longer cached #35917
OriginPullRequestProvider caches Origin's /mergeability verdict for one hour, keyed by head SHA and the base tip read before the call. It checked only the response's headSha, and OriginMergeabilitySchema dropped the baseSha Origin evaluated against. So a verdict for a base that moved during the call was cached under the old tip and kept being returned after the base came back. The fix adds baseSha to OriginMergeabilitySchema. The mergeabilities cache lookup takes the base tip from its key, and when Origin's baseSha differs from it the answer maps to 'unknown', which has a 0 TTL and is never cached. This matches the existing headSha mismatch handling. If Origin omits baseSha, the answer is still cached as before. No new regex or parser.
Fixes pingdotgg/t3code#35901
Reproduction on main#
On origin/main 8a38c63706 I added packages/source-control-cursor-origin/src/server/OriginPullRequestProvider.test.ts. It builds the real provider (make) with a fake OriginCli. The fake pull request has head H and a prepared merge against an older base D. The base tip read (getBaseTip) returns B. The first /mergeability call answers {verdict: blocked, baseSha: C, blockers: [merge_conflict]}, standing in for Origin evaluating H against a base pushed after B was read. The second call would answer {verdict: mergeable, baseSha: B}. The test calls getChangeRequest, advances TestClock 3 seconds so the short pull-request, check and base-tip caches expire, then calls getChangeRequest again. vp test run src/server/OriginPullRequestProvider.test.ts fails with: expected 'conflicting' to equal 'mergeable'. The cached conflict is returned and Origin is not asked again. A full app run was not possible: it needs a live Origin repository whose base moves between two API calls. The test drives the same provider code the server uses.
Evidence#
Being captured: before and after in the real app. This section is filled in before the pull request can merge.
Tests#
Before the fix (changes stashed): vp test run src/server/OriginPullRequestProvider.test.ts failed with "expected 'conflicting' to equal 'mergeable'". After the fix: vp test run src/server in packages/source-control-cursor-origin: 2 files, 4 tests passed. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (11 packages) and tests (3 files, 6 tests) all passed.
Not in this change#
- An answer that omits baseSha (or headSha) is still trusted and cached; I left that as it was.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:
the fix is written and reviewed, but proving it needs something no worker has:
- Permanent blocker: requires an authenticated Cursor Origin CLI session and a writable live Origin repository whose base can move between the base-tip read and mergeability evaluation. The origin CLI is absent and no live Origin repository was supplied. The available Cursor agent integration does not establish the Origin CLI authentication required by this code.
- Both the stale conflicting result on base and its correction on head remain unverified. The scenario runner's replay agent cannot create this provider-specific Origin state.
It stays open for a person to finish or close.
Walkthrough
-
The provider now associates mergeability results with a base commit as well as a pull request and head commit. It treats responses for a different requested head or base pair as unknown. A test covers a base-moving case.

Explanation
The title names the actual change: a mergeability verdict for a different base is no longer cached. It also uses the conventional commit form with the scope 'origin'. The raw summary confirms the change adds baseSha to the cache key and maps a mismatched base to 'unknown'. The title is specific and matches the main fix.
Full details: Description check
-
Explanation
The description covers the problem, the change, the scope (linked issue
#35901and the bug-fix nature), and verification with focused test results. It follows the template sections in order. The description is thorough. Two gaps remain: the Evidence section is an unfilled placeholder saying evidence is being captured, and the template asks for before/after evidence only for UI changes, so this gap matters less here. The Problem section explains the problem clearly. The Scope section links the issue and states it is a bug fix. The Verification section gives focused test results with before and after outcomes. The template also asks for the model and harness used, and the description includes that. Overall the description is mostly complete.

Explanation
Issue
#35901requirements checked against the reviewed head:- Associate a verdict with the evaluated base SHA. Met in code. OriginMergeabilitySchema now decodes an optional nullable baseSha (originPullRequests.ts). The mergeabilities loader in OriginPullRequestProvider.ts reads base from the cache key. When answer.baseSha differs from base, the result is 'unknown'. 'unknown' has a 0 TTL, so it is not cached.
- Avoid reuse for a different head/base pair, or report uncertainty. Met in code. The mismatch maps to 'unknown', the same handling as a mismatched headSha.
- Preserve evaluated base SHA and branch ref as needed. Partly met. baseSha is decoded and used for the cache decision. It is not carried into the returned change request. The issue says 'as needed', so this is a judgment point.
- Regression coverage for the base-moving race and reset. Partly evidenced. The PR describes one new test in OriginPullRequestProvider.test.ts. It drives a blocked verdict for base C, then a mergeable verdict for base B, and asserts 'mergeable'. The test fails before the fix and the PR reports it passing after. The issue also asks for a stable-base control that stays mergeable. The available evidence does not show a separate control case. Only the AI-generated file summary and the PR description were available. The test file was not read.
Not verified: the cache key construction at the call site lies beyond the truncated read. The diff does not change key creation, so the key is assumed to already include the base tip, as the PR description states.
Resolution
Confirm that OriginPullRequestProvider.test.ts includes a stable-base control case. That case should show a verdict with baseSha equal to the read base tip stays 'mergeable' and is cached. If the control case is absent, add it. Also confirm that the mergeabilities key construction includes the base tip as its fifth field.
