roughly 60% of warnings can be fixed automatically, and it wins a lot of time.

There are three approaches to implementing automatic Clippy fixes in CI:

1. Direct Commit to PR

  • Pros: Fully automated; zero effort for developers.
  • Cons: High risk of git merge conflicts with local work.

2. Scheduled Bot PRs

  • Pros: Safe and predictable; allows a single, clean review of all fixes.
  • Cons: Doesn't fix active feature branches in real-time.

3. Chat-Ops Command

  • Pros: Total control; triggers only when a developer types a command (e.g., /clippy fix).
  • Cons: Requires extra setup and relies on manual triggers.
