A Stranger Filed a Bug. My AI Fixed It While I Slept

Description and use

An AI agent automatically fixed a GLIBC compatibility issue in SuperCLI by building a statically linked binary and merging the PR, compressing the maintainer loop to zero human hours.

Problem

A user on a different Linux distro encountered a GLIBC version mismatch when installing SuperCLI, causing the install script to fail.

Outcome

The AI agent closed the issue and merged a fix in 13 days, compressing the full maintainer loop into a single autonomous cycle with zero human hours.

Workflow

• Read the issue and parse the error
• Locate the GitHub Actions release workflow
• Diagnose that binaries are dynamically linked and need static linking
• Update workflow to install musl-tools and build with CC=musl-gcc --static
• Verify binary is statically linked
• Bump version and update install scripts
• Open PR #364 with Fixes #362
• Auto‑merge via ratchet merger

Evidence

No human wrote a line of the fix. No human reviewed the diff. No human clicked merge.
