slash-commands: fall back to direct merge when bot approval fails code-owner check

When branch protection enables require_code_owner_review, the GitHub
App's APPROVE review does not satisfy it (Apps cannot be team members).
Auto-merge also does not inherit the App's ruleset-bypass privileges,
so the PR sits in BLOCKED/REVIEW_REQUIRED forever with auto-merge
enabled but never firing.

Detect this by reading reviewDecision back from the
enablePullRequestAutoMerge mutation. If it is still REVIEW_REQUIRED
after we submitted an approval, attempt a direct merge instead — a
direct merge does use the App's bypass.

Both direct-merge paths (this new one and the existing clean-status
fallback) now go through a shared mergeDirect helper that catches
failures and emits an actionable warning pointing at the ruleset
bypass-list setup.
