gaaclarke · 2025-07-22T19:23:27Z

There were 2 reasons for this:

the above listed issue where g3 wanted a specific long form license, that needs to be investigated
autorollers are relying on the old tooling to autosubmit changes to the license file

It looks like this pull request may not have tests. Please make sure to add tests or get an explicit test exemption before merging.

If you are not sure if you need tests, consider this rule of thumb: the purpose of a test is to make sure someone doesn't accidentally revert the fix. Ask yourself, is there anything in your PR that you feel it is important we not accidentally revert back to how it was before your fix?

Reviewers: Read the Tree Hygiene page and make sure this patch meets those guidelines before LGTMing.If you believe this PR qualifies for a test exemption, contact "@test-exemption-reviewer" in the #hackers channel in Discord (don't just cc them here, they won't see it!). The test exemption team is a small volunteer group, so all reviewers should feel empowered to ask for tests, without delegating that responsibility entirely to the test exemption group.

I tried to put this PR in the merge queue yesterday, overriding the failed tool tests and it seems like the Merge Queue Guard may have blocked it?
