Gitlab server should handle the draft status

[paolomainardi]

This is an enhancement propsal.

I think that would be useful if the gitlab webhook server could be capable to discard MR in draft status, of course this should be a configurable behavior.

If you think this is useful, I can try to implement it.

first share more details.
exactly what is not working today, in which platform, in which state.

[paolomainardi]

I never said that something is not working today. It is a proposal to handle the "draft" status.

i approved the PR.

Notice that this is not "gitlab webhook server", and that's what led to my pondering.
It's a Gitlab pipeline.

@mrT23, thanks, but the pull request was unrelated to this issue; I just faced that bug today while trying to integrate it into a gitlab pipeline.

To add some useful info here, at the moment, AFAIK, the Gitlab Server handles two statuses: open, reopen - ref: https://github.com/Codium-ai/pr-agent/blob/main/pr_agent/servers/gitlab_webhook.py#L127

I was suggesting that draft merge requests could be excluded from merge request parsing using a configuration toggle.

It should be easy to implement and offer several advantages. On the one hand, it reduces the traffic to the selected AI vendor for unwanted parsing, and on the other hand, it respects the draft semantics.

welcome to open a PR also for this
