Shopify CLI retires its gardener automation: two workflows deleted, a third being replaced

Shopify/cli deleted three pieces of AI-driven repo automation this week, and the deletion notes are a candid audit of what that automation had actually been doing: nothing, or worse.

Remove unused gardener workflows and Slack notifications Shopify/cli

by isaacroldan

The PR body reports that gardener-investigate-issue.yml has 0 runs ever, has been disabled_manually since 2026-10-26, and its trigger label devtools-investigate-for-gardener has been applied 0 times in the repo. It also pinned anthropics/claude-code-action@36a69b6, which bundles Claude Code v1.0.134.

Remove maintenance-prs workflow and automated task prompts Shopify/cli

by isaacroldan

Of 71 PRs opened between 2026-09-10 and 2026-10-23, 10 merged, 9 were closed by stale.yml and 52 remained open; bot PRs got no CI of their own, with 40 PR runs stuck at action_required and 17 dying with 0 jobs. The workflow had been broken since 2026-10-26 by the claude-code-action pin, and a Torrent routine replaces it, with auto-merge staying out.

Remove gardener Slack notification workflows Shopify/cli

by Isaac Roldán

gardener-notify-event.yml and gardener-notify-slack.yml are gone; they posted devtools-gardener-labelled items and every Dependabot PR to #devtools-gardener-backlog, and auto-labelled Dependabot PRs. If your tooling reads that channel or relies on those labels, the signal stops here.

Merge pull request #9047 from Shopify/gardener/remove-maintenance-prs Shopify/cli

by Isaac Roldán

The delete of the maintenance-prs workflow and its automated task prompts landed as a merge.
