GitHub auto-deploy stuck after repository rename — "Deployment queued due to upstream GitHub issues"

Project: fulfilling-optimism (project ID: b705691c-8a6d-4c33-9145-449c2415e931)

Service: stock-briefing-tool (service ID: 0d038d51-b65a-44a4-a6f9-17ad4906a9e8)

Environment: production

What happened:

My GitHub repository was renamed from stock-briefing-tool to stock-briefing-backend1 (still under the same owner, joshuamost726-dot). Since then, every deployment triggered by a GitHub push gets stuck permanently in "Queued" status with the message:

▎ "Deployment queued due to upstream GitHub issues"

It never progresses past that — Initialization, Build, Deploy, and Post-deploy all remain "Not started."

What I've already tried:

  1. In the service's Settings tab, I saw "GitHub Repo not found" under Source Repo. I clicked Disconnect and reconnected, re-selecting joshuamost726-dot/stock-briefing-backend1. The error message disappeared from the UI, but every deployment triggered afterward (multiple test pushes) got stuck with the exact same "upstream GitHub issues" message.
  2. I checked the Railway GitHub App installation on GitHub's side (github.com/settings/installations) — Repository access is set to "All repositories" (not restricted to specific repos), and there's no pending permission-approval banner. So this doesn't appear to be a GitHub-side permissions/scoping issue.

Current workaround: I'm deploying manually via railway up from the CLI, which works fine — but GitHub auto-deploy needs to work again for my normal workflow.

Ask: Could you check on Railway's side whether this service's GitHub connection properly re-synced after the repository rename? It looks like something may not have fully updated internally even though the UI shows the repo as connected.

Resolved by going into the settings for the Railway Github App and adjusting the repository access setting; permissions resynced and it was able to find branches after that.
