## Description

Babysit a GitHub pull request after creation by continuously polling review comments, CI checks/workflow runs, and mergeability state until the PR is merged/closed or user help is required. Diagnose failures, retry likely flaky failures up to 3 times, auto-fix/push branch-related issues when appropriate, and keep watching open PRs so fresh review feedback is surfaced promptly. Use when the user asks Codex to monitor a PR, watch CI, handle review comments, or keep an eye on failures and feedback on an open PR.

# PR Babysitter

## Objective
Babysit a PR persistently until one of these terminal outcomes occurs:

- The PR is merged or closed.
- A situation requires user help (for example CI infrastructure issues, repeated flaky failures after retry budget is exhausted, permission problems, or ambiguity that cannot be resolved safely).
- Optional handoff milestone: the PR is currently green + mergeable + review-clean. Treat this as a progress state, not a watcher stop, so late-arriving review comments are still surfaced promptly while the PR remains open.

Do not stop merely because a single snapshot returns `idle` while checks are still pending.

## Inputs
Accept any of the following:

- No PR argument: infer the PR from the current branch (`--pr auto`)
- PR number
- PR URL
