Drift auto-PR

On Growth and above, Attestly can open a real GitHub pull request whenever an approved drift change re-renders one of your documents. The PR contains the new Markdown under compliance/<doc>.md, ready to merge through your normal review process.

Enabling it

1. Go to Dashboard → Settings → Drift handling.
2. Toggle Open auto-PRs to your repo.
3. The toggle requires at least one teammate with a connected GitHub account in the workspace — that account's token is used to open the PR.

What ships in the PR

• A new branch named attestly/drift-<short-sha>-<doc-type>.
• One file per regenerated document at compliance/<doc>.md.
• A PR title summarising the change (docs(compliance): regenerate AI Trust Center after drift).
• A PR body that links back to the drift alert in your Attestly dashboard.

How it pairs with branch protection

Because the PR is a regular GitHub PR opened by a real user, it inherits your branch-protection rules: required reviewers, required status checks, and any CODEOWNERS gates. The drift alert in Attestly stays pending_external_review until the PR is merged, then transitions to resolved automatically.

Failure modes

If the PR fails to open (no GitHub token in the workspace, repo write access revoked, conflicting branch already exists), the drift alert is still resolved internally and an in-app notification surfaces the error. The audit log records the failure with the API error code so you can debug.

Disabling auto-PRs

Settings → Drift handling → toggle off. Existing PRs are unaffected.
