Creating PRs with suggested outputs is one thing. But automating it all the way to deployment seems a bit much

I think the idea is that for minor updates or patches, any potential breakages should be caught by the build pipeline or rolling deployments with automated rollback strategies (if you’re at a scale where this is feasible). Major updates will probably fail in the pipeline and require manual intervention either way.

I don’t think it makes sense for every project, but if recovery options are cheap then I don’t see anything that speaks against it.
