A date-gated workflow that, on 2026-07-21, merges the Open & Async launch PR (#1891) — making the post live and flipping the site's book callouts to "buy now" — but only if the PR is open + mergeable, CI is green, and open-and-async.com is actually in buy-now mode. Otherwise it opens a "Launch hold" issue instead of merging. Must be merged to main to arm the cron (scheduled workflows only fire from the default branch). Uses LAUNCH_PAT if set so the merge triggers the normal deploy → email → standard.site chain; otherwise falls back to GITHUB_TOKEN and dispatches the deploy explicitly. Manual runs default to a dry run for safe testing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Schedules the launch-day merge of the Open & Async announcement PR (#1891), per request to "schedule task to merge on launch day." The cloud-routine scheduler (
/schedule) was unavailable, so this does it natively in GitHub Actions.What it does
On 2026-07-21 (~10am ET) it merges #1891 — making the launch post live and flipping every site book callout to "buy now" — but only if all gates pass:
open-and-async.comis actually in buy-now mode (price / buy / pre-order signal)If any gate fails, it opens (or comments on) a "Launch hold" issue instead of merging. It never merges into a half-ready launch.
mainto arm it. Scheduled workflows only fire from the default branch — it can't live only on the PR it merges. (It does not merge Add launch-day post announcing Open and Async #1891 until July 21.)LAUNCH_PATrepo secret (a PAT withreposcope). The deploy → email-broadcast → standard.site chain runs off the push to main, whichGITHUB_TOKENcan't trigger (GitHub's recursion guard). WithLAUNCH_PATthe launch behaves exactly like a human merge — including emailing subscribers. Without it, the post still deploys (the job dispatches the deploy explicitly), but the email broadcast + standard.site sync must be run manually.Testing
Trigger manually anytime via Run workflow — defaults to a dry run (evaluates gates, merges nothing). Set
