specifically for your terraform example, wouldn't it make more sense to have the PR merged only when apply was successful?

i'm not sure how well that can be represented in GH actions, but that would surely be the better option?

you'll always risk some kind of race condition there, e.g. atlantis locks the project while something is planned but not applied to avoid such things from happening. this of course prevents having multiple PRs "ready" at the same time, you'd have to unlock the active PR lock to be able to implement another one.

This still can't use GHA to enforce any sort of integrity so it's kinda moot. I have some of my projects set up to deploy with CircleCI...which can give me the build, approve, apply (specifically the thing you approved) chain that I'm looking for (so there's no race condition). "Why not use CircleCI?" well i do, but if my company decides to cut costs, it may not survive the chopping block...so I'm looking at other options.

Just looked at CircleCI recently. Great product, but the price difference between them and GHA was absolutely jaw dropping.
