Auto-retry log patterns now also match against GitHub check run annotations, not just log output.
Log pattern matching for auto-retry rules
Auto-Retry rules can now match against job log content to decide whether a failed job should be retried
Merge Queue: PR exit reasons and idle time breakdown in stats
