Description

Description

Sometimes, our deployment pipeline is failing due to commit status we don't really care about and we have lots of them. Instead of listing them manually, it would be great to enable wildcards so we don't have to keep track of specific strings and only keep track of prefixes.

Current state:

ci:
  require:
  - ci/one
  - ci/two
  hide:
  - gh/dependabot
  - gh/auto-merge
  - gh/notify-oncall

Goal state:

ci:
  require:
  - ci/one
  - ci/two
  hide:
  - gh/*

Research direction

Start by locating the status-check configuration and the code that processes the ci.require and ci.hide YAML entries. Verify how matching currently handles exact strings, then test the goal-state configuration with gh/*; done means matching status names can be hidden by prefix wildcard without listing each name.
