The `queue_rules[].autoqueue` field has been deprecated in favor of `merge_protection_settings.auto_merge_conditions`. Mergify now opens a migration PR that rewrites your configuration automatically. Mixed setups — where only some queues had `autoqueue: true` — are translated into the equivalent `auto_merge_conditions`, with a YAML comment marking the queues that remain manual-only and reachable via the `/queue` command.
