1. gh-aw-automation-pr-batch-coordinator

Trigger: Daily schedule + pull_request (opened, bot-authored only) + workflow_dispatch

Purpose: Reduce review thrash from bursts of automation-generated PRs by producing a single daily coordination digest that groups related PRs (same dependency family, same target branch, same repository), recommends merge order, and flags risky combinations.

Proposed safe outputs: create-issue (daily digest), add-comment (cross-link grouped PRs), noop (no burst/no action)

Current pain points and supporting evidence:

• This repository shows recurring, clustered automation PRs that require manual prioritization and conflict-aware ordering:
  • build(deps): bump the github-actions group across 10 directories with 3 updates #930
  • bump @actions/core from 1.10.1 to 3.0.0 in /snapshoty/run #522
  • build(deps): bump @actions/core from 1.11.1 to 3.0.0 in /github/mutex #896
• Downstream repos show the same pattern at higher volume, indicating cross-repo coordination overhead:
  • [8.19][Automation] Update elastic/beats to 3c00f459c3af elastic-agent#13895
  • [9.3][Automation] Update elastic/beats to 22a90817ce8f elastic-agent#13896
  • [8.19][Automation] Update versions elastic-agent#13897
  • [9.3][Automation] Update versions elastic-agent#13898
  • [9.4][Automation] Update versions elastic-agent#13899

Why existing workflows do not fully cover this gap:

• oblt-aw.yml is an event ingress/forwarding workflow, not a PR throughput coordinator.
• updatecli.yml performs update application but does not provide triage/ordering intelligence across concurrent PR bursts.
• Existing open agent-suggestion issues cover adjacent areas, not PR-burst coordination:
  • Reliability triage: [oblt-aw][agent-suggestions] Agent suggestions - 2026-04-23 #915
  • No-safe-output autofix: [oblt-aw][agent-suggestions] Agent suggestions - 2026-04-24 #916
  • Downstream adoption drift checks: [oblt-aw][agent-suggestions] Agent suggestions - 2026-04-05 #877

Expected benefits:

• Engineering productivity: reviewers process one prioritized digest instead of many independent automation PR notifications.
• Review quality: grouping reveals overlap/conflicts (same deps or shared files) before merges.
• Cycle time: clearer merge order reduces rebases and CI reruns.
• Risk reduction: coordinated rollout lowers chance of incompatible automation changes landing together.

Potential trade-offs and rollout considerations:

• Start report-only for 1–2 weeks to tune grouping thresholds and avoid noisy digests.
• Restrict to bot-authored PRs and a small allowlist of repos initially.
• Keep recommendations advisory (no auto-merge/auto-close) until signal quality is proven.

Duplicate Checks

• Open suggestion issues reviewed:
  • [oblt-aw][agent-suggestions] Agent suggestions - 2026-04-24 #916
  • [oblt-aw][agent-suggestions] Agent suggestions - 2026-04-23 #915
  • [oblt-aw][agent-suggestions] Agent suggestions - 2026-04-05 #877
• Open workflow/agent PR scan reviewed:
  • build(deps): bump the github-actions group across 10 directories with 3 updates #930
  • docs: Documentation analysis and improvement #928
  • bump @actions/core from 1.10.1 to 3.0.0 in /snapshoty/run #522

Downstream Signals

• elastic/elastic-agent automation PR burst:
  • [8.19][Automation] Update elastic/beats to 3c00f459c3af elastic-agent#13895
  • [9.3][Automation] Update elastic/beats to 22a90817ce8f elastic-agent#13896
  • [8.19][Automation] Update versions elastic-agent#13897
  • [9.3][Automation] Update versions elastic-agent#13898
  • [9.4][Automation] Update versions elastic-agent#13899
• elastic/ai-github-actions-playground recurring AW operational noise context:
  • [aw] Internal Gemini CLI failed ai-github-actions-playground#2982
  • [aw] Scheduled Audit failed ai-github-actions-playground#2986

Suggested Next Steps

• Pilot gh-aw-automation-pr-batch-coordinator in report-only mode for two weeks.
• Define grouping keys (repo, target branch, dependency family, risk label) and confidence rules.
• Measure reviewer time/PR lead-time impact before expanding repository scope.
