Watched pull requests only noticed a push, review, merge or conflict at the next 2-minute sweep.

GitHub's new event subscriptions API (/event-subscriptions, currently a preview) streams pull request changes over SSE. The watch reactor now opens one subscription per watched github.com pull request and re-reads the pull request as soon as an event arrives, instead of waiting for the sweep. The sweep stays: checks have no events yet, and it is the fallback wherever a subscription is refused.

• GitHubPullRequestEvents subscribes, follows the stream, reconnects with jittered backoff, treats 45s of silence as a dead connection, renews expired subscriptions, and deletes the subscription when the watch ends. It emits once per connection so the reader catches up on anything missed while disconnected.
• If the app sign-in can't open a stream (the app isn't installed on that repository), it retries with the user's own credential.
• Other hosts and refused subscriptions keep today's polling.

Only users signed in through the GitHub app, which is still opt-in behind its flag, subscribe. Everyone else keeps polling and never calls the preview API.

Tested: the stream module against scripted responses (refused app token, reconnect, renewal, cleanup), the gate for users without the app sign-in, the reactor reading on an event without the clock moving, and a live run against github.com (subscribe, stream held past the silence limit on keep-alives, subscription deleted on stop).

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Existing app-authenticated watches will automatically open GitHub preview event subscriptions and react sooner, while retaining polling fallback. Human review is required for enabling this new default within that cohort.

Walkthrough

The provider and service layers expose pull-request change-event streams. The GitHub implementation manages event subscriptions and reconnects. The watch reactor tracks feeds and runs serialized reads when matching events arrive.

Changes: Pull request change feeds

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Provider and service event contract packages/source-control-core/src/server/PullRequestProvider.ts, apps/server/src/pullRequest/PullRequestService.ts	The provider API adds an optional change-event stream. PullRequestService exposes changes and forwards the stream when the provider supports it.
GitHub event stream packages/source-control-github/src/server/gitHubPullRequestEvents.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubPullRequestApi.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubPullRequestProvider.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/gitHubPullRequestEvents.test.ts	The GitHub API and provider expose an event stream. The implementation manages subscriptions, SSE events, credential fallback, and reconnects. Tests cover subscription, credential, and retry behavior.
Watch reactor event handling apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/PullRequestWatchReactor.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts	The reactor tracks feeds for pull requests in the latest sweep groups. It serializes sweep and event-triggered reads, invalidates host data for event-triggered reads, and notifies readers when the fingerprint status or remarks change. The test covers event-triggered reads and notification behavior.

Bound the reconnect and renew loops. Both paths skip the drop counter and reset the backoff.

reconnect calls follow(..., 0) after backoff(0), which sleeps 0.5–1 s. renew calls subscribed() after the same backoff(0). Neither path counts toward MAX_DROPS.

endingOf returns reconnect for any github.stream.end frame that does not decode. It also returns reconnect for any outcome other than subscription_ended.

Assume GitHub closes streams quickly or sends such a frame repeatedly. The feed then loops about once per second for as long as it runs. Every cycle emits "changed" on open. The reactor then runs invalidate and a full read for that pull request.

Treat a connection that lived only briefly as a drop. Measure its lifetime with Clock.currentTimeMillis, and let the drop counter and exponential backoff apply to reconnect and renew too. A connection with no events past the opening one cannot serve as the signal. A long quiet connection looks the same.

Refresh remarks when a connection opens

If another user edits a review-thread comment while the stream is disconnected, the connection-opening emission can reach readOnChange with an unchanged fingerprint. A healthy watch can then skip the detail and activity reads, so the edit does not wake the watch until a later fingerprint reread or another relevant change. The two-minute sweep uses the same guard.

Minor · Performance & Scalability · Quick win

Remove stale feeds with bounded concurrency.

The loop removes each stale feed in sequence. Each removal waits for its subscription DELETE. A slow or stalled DELETE can delay the next removal by up to the 30-second send timeout, plus any time spent waiting for a request slot. Wanted feeds start only after the loop finishes, so the delays add up across stale feeds.

Use a small fixed bound. Keep it below the eight shared request slots, so cleanup cannot hold all of them.

Suggested fix

       yield* Effect.forEach(stale, (pullRequest) => FiberMap.remove(feeds, pullRequest), {
+        concurrency: 2,
         discard: true,
       });
