Auto-merge should comment which merge strategy it uses

      Background
      We deal with a lot of merge conflicts and need to make sure not to squash (our default strategy) when we resolve them. 

      Problem
      Currently, when Auto-Merge processes pull requests, it doesn't indicate which merge strategy it's using. This creates uncertainty for developers who then need to:
      1. Disable Auto-Merge for the PR
      2. Manually set the merge strategy 
      3. Re-enable Auto-Merge "to be sure"

      Proposed Solution
      Auto-Merge should add a comment to pull requests indicating which merge strategy it will use (e.g., squash, merge, rebase).

      Benefits

      • Massive quality of life improvement for developers
      • Reduces manual intervention and workflow disruption
      • Provides transparency in the merge process
      • Eliminates guesswork around merge strategy selection
