Features

Unblock pull requests, if CODEOWNERS files contains invalid user/group identifiers

If all merge checks are fulfilled, the app does not prevent merging anymore, if the CODEOWNERS file contains invalid user/group identifiers.

Dark Mode for Bitbucket 8.16

Support Dark Mode introduced with Bitbucket 8.16.

Auto-merge: Use PR author instead of Service User to merge

Some other Bitbucket apps provide their own merge checks, which require access to e.g. Jira.
When the merge was done with the apps Service User, this failed to the missing authorization.
For audit reasons, the app writes a PR comment stating, that the PR merge was triggered by DevSensei auto-merge.

Improvements

Improved performance

On big Bitbucket instances with many users, the repository read permission lookup for the identifiers in the CODEOWNERS files during validation was too slow and therefor a bottleneck.
This validation check is for convenience only, so we implemented caching for the permission lookup, if the user has access to the repository. This should improve performance for several code paths in the app, especially if there are many identifiers used in the CODEOWNERS file.
