Previously, PullRequest.is_merged() used raw requestJson() which silently returned False for any non-204 status code, including 401 (bad credentials) and 403 (forbidden). This caused false negatives where an expired or invalid authentication token would cause is_merged() to return False instead of raising an appropriate exception. Now is_merged() explicitly handles: - 204: returns True (PR is merged) - 404: returns False (PR is not merged) - Any other status: raises the appropriate GithubException (e.g. BadCredentialsException for 401) This brings is_merged() in line with the behavior of other PyGithub methods that use requestJsonAndCheck() and properly surface authentication errors.

PullRequest.is_merged()previously used rawrequestJson()which silently returnedFalsefor any non-204 status code, including:401 Bad credentials(expired/invalid token)403 ForbiddenThis caused false negatives where an expired authentication token would cause
is_merged()to returnFalseinstead of raising the appropriate exception, differing from all other PyGithub methods.Changes
