+# DEVX-161: Fix auto-merge self-approval: use CI bot token fallback
+
+## Problem
+The auto-merge workflow posts an APPROVE review using
+`REVIEWER_GITEA_API_TOKEN`. When this token belongs to the same user
+who created the PR, Gitea rejects the self-approval, causing the merge
+to fail with HTTP 405 "Does not have enough approvals."
+
+## Approach
+Try `REVIEWER_GITEA_API_TOKEN` first; if it fails (self-approval
+rejection), fall back to `CI_GITEA_API_TOKEN` (kireto — CI bot account).
+
+REQ-1: Auto-merge posts approval with fallback to CI bot token
+REQ-2: Approval step reports which token succeeded
+
+## Test Plan
+- Create a PR and observe auto-merge succeeds
+
+## Deploy Plan
+- Merge to master
+
+## Rollback Plan
+- Revert the merge commit
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] REQ-1: Auto-merge posts approval with fallback to CI bot token
+- [x] REQ-2: Approval step reports which token succeeded
