Delimit dev argues agent PR delegation should be scoped by destination repos, not diff correctness
delimitdev · reddit · 2026-09-15
A developer building Delimit describes the destination problem in delegating PR creation to agents: what matters is where proposed code may land, not whether the diff is correct. Their earlier executor design restricted the proposepr primitive to PROPOSEPRALLOWEDREPOS, so work aimed at outside repos had no valid destination even when the patch looked useful. They ask how to separate permission to propose from the checks required before merging, and are soliciting design discussion.
