Pull request overview
Updates the Auto-Update maintenance automation so that when a newly created FontsData update PR supersedes older open Auto-Update PRs, the superseded PRs’ branches are also deleted to avoid accumulating stale branches (Fixes #154).
Changes:
- Extends the
gh pr listquery to includeheadRefNamefor each superseded PR. - After closing each superseded PR, attempts to delete its associated branch via the GitHub API (with warning-on-failure behavior).
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

deleted the
copilot/delete-superseded-pr-branches
branch
The Auto-Update workflow now automatically deletes branches associated with superseded PRs when closing them, preventing stale branches from accumulating in the repository.
Branch cleanup for superseded Auto-Update PRs
When the
Update-FontsDataworkflow creates a new Auto-Update PR and closes any superseded open Auto-Update PRs, the associated branches (e.g.,auto-update-20260210-101656) are now also deleted.The PR list query now includes
headRefNameto retrieve branch names, and after closing each superseded PR, the branch is deleted via the GitHub API. The deletion is wrapped in a try-catch block to prevent workflow failures if the branch has already been deleted or permissions are insufficient.
