perf(pr-management): trim the family's skills without changing behaviour (#1390)
* perf(pr-management): trim the family's skills without changing behaviour
Body tokens across the eight pr-management skills drop from 54,714 to
34,298 (-37.3%), all inside the 5,000-token body budget and the
500-line cap, with all always-on frontmatter budgets met.
- Trim every skill's frontmatter under the 200-token always-on budget
(7 of 8 skills were over).
- Move sub-action-specific sections and individual sub-action golden
rules into sibling files byte-for-byte and repoint their references,
the same technique as the setup-family PRs (#1353): 16 new sibling
files, no section left in two places.
- Tighten remaining prose to SemBr one-sentence-per-line, keeping
headings, golden-rule headlines, code blocks, tables and the
generated pre-flight block byte-identical.
- Fix one stale pointer per the #1353 precedent: pr-triage's moved
Step 6b block in session-history.md anchored [Parameters] at the
sibling itself.
- Regenerate docs/mode-economics.md via skill-token-count --write.
Verification: skill-token-count --check passes against the regenerated
table; all 22 eval step-config.json extraction targets across the
suites touching this family resolve to their exact heading in the
exact file they point to; check-shared-blocks in sync across all 65
skills; check-duplication reports 0 pairs above the fail threshold;
skill-evals pytest runs 174 tests with no new failures vs the
untouched baseline; skill-and-tool-validate reports no findings in
the touched plugin.
Closes #1346. Part of #1342.

* fix(pr-management): resolve the prek findings from the family trim
- markdownlint: drop a double blank line in pr-triage SKILL.md, insert
blank lines before thematic breaks that parsed as setext headings
(quick-merge fetch-and-screen, stats classify/fetch/render), and
promote the moved Step 6b section to h2 in session-history.md so
heading levels increment.
- Anchors: repoint six links whose SKILL.md targets moved into sibling
files (pr-triage actions/classify-and-act/interaction-loop/
prerequisites, quick-merge present-and-handoff, and the
projects/_template config), keeping every fragment slug identical.
- docs/setup/marketplace.md: refresh the family's declared always-on
tokens to ~0.8k after the frontmatter trim.
- Regenerate docs/mode-economics.md and docs/vendor-neutrality.md.
Verification: skill-token-count --check passes; check-shared-blocks in
sync (65 skills); check-duplication 0 pairs above threshold;
skill-evals pytest 174 tests with no new failures vs the untouched
baseline; every eval step-config extraction target still resolves;
all six repointed anchors verified against the headings now holding
them.

* fix(pr-management): keep reviewer-routing's session-scoped confirmation and catch-all trigger
The trim dropped "in this session" from Golden rule 1, loosening the
confirmation requirement, and the "any variation on proposing a first
reviewer" catch-all from when_to_use, which routes paraphrased requests
to the skill. Restore both. Re-stamp measured_tokens after rebasing onto
the per-skill token stamps.

-
-Also at the top of every run, this skill compares the
-gitignored `.apache-magpie.local.lock` (per-machine
-fetch) against the committed `.apache-magpie.lock`
-(the project pin). On mismatch the skill surfaces the

-[`setup upgrade`](../../../magpie-setup/skills/setup/upgrade.md).

-they want to run with the local snapshot for now. See
-[`docs/setup/install-recipes.md` § Subsequent runs and drift detection](../../../../docs/quick-start/other-install-methods.md#subsequent-runs-and-drift-detection)
-for the full flow.
-
-Drift severity:
-
-- **method or URL differ** → ✗ full re-install needed.
-- **ref differs** (project bumped tag, or `git-branch`
- local is behind upstream tip) → ⚠ sync needed.
-- **`svn-zip` SHA-512 mismatches the committed
- anchor** → ✗ security-flagged; investigate before
- upgrading.

-
-The skill reads all project-specific content (source-file paths,

-**Golden rule 10 — every PR number is rendered as its full

-`https://github.com/<repo>/pull/<N>` URL is printed alongside
-the number** so that any URL-aware terminal (iTerm2, Kitty,
-GNOME Terminal, Windows Terminal, etc.) makes it clickable.
-The recommended format is one of:
-
-```text
-PR #65981 — https://github.com/<upstream>/pull/65981 — <title>

-The headline already carries the file-count and

-maintainer has the size of the change in hand when deciding
-— don't re-render it. On `[y]`, the skill opens the PR's
-**files tab** (`https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/pull/<N>/files`)
-via `xdg-open` / `open` / `start`, in the background. On any
-other reply, no browser action — the diff fetch (Step 2)

-| Review a single PR (the most common ad-hoc trigger) | `pr-management-code-review pr:65981` |
-| Just the PRs where I'm a CODEOWNER, ignore the rest | `pr-management-code-review codeowner-only` |

-| Re-look at the PRs I already reviewed (follow-ups after author push) | `pr-management-code-review reviewed-before-only` |
-| My-reviews **but** drop touching-mine (too noisy this morning) | `pr-management-code-review no-touching-mine` |
-| My-reviews limited to scheduler-area, max 5 | `pr-management-code-review area:scheduler max:5` |
-| My-reviews scoped to non-collaborator authors (extra-careful pass) | `pr-management-code-review collab:false` |
-| The team queue (PRs where `<upstream>-<team-name>` is requested) | `pr-management-code-review team:project-team-name` |
-| The wider curated queue triage already promoted | `pr-management-code-review ready` |
-| Stay body-only this session (no inline picker) | `pr-management-code-review inline:off` |
-| Dry-run the queue — draft everything, post nothing | `pr-management-code-review dry-run` |
-| Same, against a different repo | `pr-management-code-review dry-run repo:<upstream>-site` |
-| Have other models read each PR adversarially, run by the agent | `pr-management-code-review with-reviewers:codex,copilot` |
-| Pair with an adversarial reviewer for a second read on each PR | `pr-management-code-review with-reviewer:/codex-plugin:adversarial-review` |
-| Skip background analysis subagents (tiny queue, prefetch is wasted) | `pr-management-code-review max:1 no-prefetch` |

-Selectors compose freely. Most flags carry through cleanly:

-## Step 2 — Sequential per-PR review
-
-For each PR in the list, run the per-PR review loop in
-[`review-flow.md`](review-flow.md). The loop is:
-
-1. **Present headline** — PR number, title, author, label chips,
- CI state, threads count, ±LOC summary, files changed count.
-2. **Fetch diff and PR body** — via `gh pr diff <N>` and `gh pr
- view <N> --json body,...`.
-3. **Examine the diff against the criteria** from
- [`criteria.md`](criteria.md), grouping findings by category:
- architecture, DB/query correctness, code quality, testing,
- API correctness, generated files, AI-generated-code signals,
- and any provider/area-specific rules pulled from the relevant
- `AGENTS.md` (see [`review-flow.md#area-specific`](review-flow.md)).
-4. **Optionally run the adversarial reviewer** — if a
- second-reviewer plugin is configured (Step 0), propose
- invoking it now and integrate its findings (see
- [`adversarial.md`](adversarial.md)). The user runs the slash
- command; the skill resumes once the user pastes / continues
- with the output.
-5. **Draft the review body and disposition** — pick `APPROVE`,
- `REQUEST_CHANGES`, or `COMMENT` per the rules in
- [`posting.md#disposition`](posting.md), apply Golden rules 7
- and 8, and produce a draft body using the templates in
- [`posting.md`](posting.md). The body may close with up to
- 2–3 **suggested additional reviewers** — domain experts for
- the touched area, derived from `CODEOWNERS` and commit /
- review history per
- [`review-flow.md#step-45`](review-flow.md), never fabricated,
- never auto-requested, and named with backtick-quoted handles
- so nobody is notified (see the mention policy in
- [`posting.md#mention-policy`](posting.md)).
-6. **Show the inline-comments picker** — inline review
- comments are the **default and preferred** output of this
- skill: for every anchored finding the skill drafts an
- inline review comment and presents them in a numbered list
- with all entries enabled by default, so the maintainer
- accepts them individually. The maintainer picks `[A]ll` /
- `[N]one` / `[<indices>]` / drops a few. A body-only review
- is the explicit exception, reached only by passing
- `inline:off`, which suppresses the picker for the whole
- session. Findings that cannot be anchored to a `file:line`
- (e.g. on unchanged lines) go in the review body instead.
-7. **Show the draft to the maintainer** — full body, count of
- inline comments to be posted, and the chosen disposition.
-8. **On confirmation** — post via the GraphQL
- `addPullRequestReview` mutation (or `gh pr review` if no
- inline comments survived the picker). See
- [`posting.md`](posting.md). On rejection — capture the
- maintainer's edits and re-draft.
-9. **On `[S]kip`** — leave the PR alone and move on.

-## What this skill deliberately does NOT do
-
-- **First-pass triage actions.** Drafting, rebasing,
- pinging, rerunning CI, marking `ready for maintainer review` —
- all live in [`pr-management-triage`](../pr-triage/SKILL.md). If the
- current PR needs one of those, the skill says so and points
- at `pr-management-triage pr:<N>`. *(Exception: the
- slop-detection `[X]` close+lock path — see Golden rule 9.)*
-- **Requesting or notifying reviewers.** Step 4.5 *names*
- domain experts in the review body as backtick-quoted handles;
- it never live-`@`-mentions them (see the mention policy in
- [`posting.md#mention-policy`](posting.md)), never calls
- `gh pr edit --add-reviewer`, and never uses the
- `requestReviews` mutation. Formally requesting a reviewer is
- a separate maintainer action (or a job for
- [`reviewer-routing`](../reviewer-routing/SKILL.md)).
-- **Merging.** Merging is a conscious maintainer action that
- belongs in a separate flow.
-- **Submitting reviews on closed / merged PRs.** The skill only
- reviews open PRs.
-- **Running CI locally.** The skill examines the diff and
- reasons about it; running tests locally before approving is a
- judgment call the maintainer makes per PR (the `dry-run`
- selector and `[S]kip-for-now` exit are how that gets handled
- inside this skill).
-- **Modifying PR code.** This skill never pushes commits, never
- proposes patches via `gh pr review --suggested-changes`
- beyond the verbatim suggestion blocks in
- [`posting.md`](posting.md), and never edits the contributor's
- branch.
-- **Bypassing the project's review criteria.** Findings cite
- specific rules from the source files declared in
- `<project-config>/pr-management-code-review-criteria.md` and
- from the project's repo-wide [`AGENTS.md`](../../../../AGENTS.md).
- New review philosophies belong in those files first; this
- skill picks them up automatically once they land.
+Scope boundaries — triage actions, reviewer requests, merging, CI, and more — are in [`scope.md`](scope.md).

-
-- 1 query for the working PR list (one-shot, at session start)
-- 1 `gh pr view --json body,reviewRequests,reviews,statusCheckRollup,commits,labels,...` per PR
-- 1 `gh pr diff` per PR
-- 0–1 calls into the adversarial reviewer (out-of-band, not
- GitHub API)
-- 0–1 `CODEOWNERS` read + 0–3 `commits?path=` reads for the
- Step 4.5 reviewer suggestions (the PR-review-history source is
- reached only when the cheap sources fall short)
-- 1 `gh pr review` mutation per posted review

-That's ~3 GitHub calls per PR plus one optional plugin call.
-A normal review pass (5–10 PRs) stays well under 100 GitHub-API
-points — a tiny fraction of the maintainer's 5000/h budget. If a
-session starts approaching the limit, the skill is
-mis-batching (most likely: re-fetching the diff after every
-finding instead of caching it locally) — stop and fix the call

+## Adopter overrides
+
+Before running the default behaviour documented
+below, this skill consults
+[`.apache-magpie-local/pr-management-code-review.md`](../../../../docs/setup/agentic-overrides.md) (personal, gitignored) and [`.apache-magpie-overrides/pr-management-code-review.md`](../../../../docs/setup/agentic-overrides.md) (committed, project-wide)
+in the adopter repo if it exists, and applies any
+agent-readable overrides it finds. See
+[`docs/setup/agentic-overrides.md`](../../../../docs/setup/agentic-overrides.md)
+for the contract — what overrides may contain, hard
+rules, the reconciliation flow on framework upgrade,
+upstreaming guidance.
+
+**Hard rule**: agents NEVER modify the snapshot under
+`<adopter-repo>/.apache-magpie/`. Local modifications
+go in the override file. Framework changes go via PR
+to `apache/magpie`.
+
+---
+
+## Snapshot drift
+
+Also at the top of every run, this skill compares the
+gitignored `.apache-magpie.local.lock` (per-machine
+fetch) against the committed `.apache-magpie.lock`
+(the project pin). On mismatch the skill surfaces the
+gap and proposes
+[`setup upgrade`](../../../magpie-setup/skills/setup/upgrade.md).
+The proposal is non-blocking — the user may defer if
+they want to run with the local snapshot for now. See
+[`docs/setup/install-recipes.md` § Subsequent runs and drift detection](../../../../docs/quick-start/other-install-methods.md#subsequent-runs-and-drift-detection)
+for the full flow.
+
+Drift severity:
+
+- **method or URL differ** → ✗ full re-install needed.
+- **ref differs** (project bumped tag, or `git-branch`
+ local is behind upstream tip) → ⚠ sync needed.
+- **`svn-zip` SHA-512 mismatches the committed
+ anchor** → ✗ security-flagged; investigate before
+ upgrading.
+
+---
+
+## Adopter configuration
+
+This skill resolves project-specific content from the adopter's
+`<project-config>/` directory:
+
+- [`<project-config>/pr-management-code-review-criteria.md`](../../../../projects/_template/pr-management-code-review-criteria.md) — list of the project's review-criteria source files (repo-wide AGENTS.md, code-review docs, per-area AGENTS.md), security-model calibration doc, backport-branch pattern, and section-anchor URLs the framework links per finding.
+
+The skill reads all project-specific content (source-file paths,
+security-model doc, backport-branch pattern, section anchors)
+from the file listed above. No defaults are baked into the
+framework.

+## How to invoke — examples
+
+The slash command is `pr-management-code-review`. A few worked
+examples a maintainer can paste:
+
+| Goal | Invocation |
+|---|---|
+| Walk through everything in **"my reviews"**, newest first | `pr-management-code-review` |
+| Review a single PR (the most common ad-hoc trigger) | `pr-management-code-review pr:65981` |
+| Just the PRs where I'm a CODEOWNER, ignore the rest | `pr-management-code-review codeowner-only` |
+| PRs that explicitly `@`-mention me, skip the noise | `pr-management-code-review mentioned-only` |
+| Re-look at the PRs I already reviewed (follow-ups after author push) | `pr-management-code-review reviewed-before-only` |
+| My-reviews **but** drop touching-mine (too noisy this morning) | `pr-management-code-review no-touching-mine` |
+| My-reviews limited to scheduler-area, max 5 | `pr-management-code-review area:scheduler max:5` |
+| My-reviews scoped to non-collaborator authors (extra-careful pass) | `pr-management-code-review collab:false` |
+| The team queue (PRs where `<upstream>-<team-name>` is requested) | `pr-management-code-review team:project-team-name` |
+| The wider curated queue triage already promoted | `pr-management-code-review ready` |
+| Stay body-only this session (no inline picker) | `pr-management-code-review inline:off` |
+| Dry-run the queue — draft everything, post nothing | `pr-management-code-review dry-run` |
+| Same, against a different repo | `pr-management-code-review dry-run repo:<upstream>-site` |
+| Have other models read each PR adversarially, run by the agent | `pr-management-code-review with-reviewers:codex,copilot` |
+| Pair with an adversarial reviewer for a second read on each PR | `pr-management-code-review with-reviewer:/codex-plugin:adversarial-review` |
+| Skip background analysis subagents (tiny queue, prefetch is wasted) | `pr-management-code-review max:1 no-prefetch` |
+
+Selectors compose freely. Most flags carry through cleanly:
+`area:scheduler reviewed-before-only since:7d` is "PRs in
+the scheduler area that I reviewed in the last 7 days."
+
+When in doubt, run with no flags first — the default surfaces
+everything you'd reasonably be expected to look at.

+## Step 2 — Sequential per-PR review
+
+For each PR in the list, run the per-PR review loop in
+[`review-flow.md`](review-flow.md). The loop is:
+
+1. **Present headline** — PR number, title, author, label chips,
+ CI state, threads count, ±LOC summary, files changed count.
+2. **Fetch diff and PR body** — via `gh pr diff <N>` and `gh pr
+ view <N> --json body,...`.
+3. **Examine the diff against the criteria** from
+ [`criteria.md`](criteria.md), grouping findings by category:
+ architecture, DB/query correctness, code quality, testing,
+ API correctness, generated files, AI-generated-code signals,
+ and any provider/area-specific rules pulled from the relevant
+ `AGENTS.md` (see [`review-flow.md#area-specific`](review-flow.md)).
+4. **Optionally run the adversarial reviewer** — if a
+ second-reviewer plugin is configured (Step 0), propose
+ invoking it now and integrate its findings (see
+ [`adversarial.md`](adversarial.md)). The user runs the slash
+ command; the skill resumes once the user pastes / continues
+ with the output.
+5. **Draft the review body and disposition** — pick `APPROVE`,
+ `REQUEST_CHANGES`, or `COMMENT` per the rules in
+ [`posting.md#disposition`](posting.md), apply Golden rules 7
+ and 8, and produce a draft body using the templates in
+ [`posting.md`](posting.md). The body may close with up to
+ 2–3 **suggested additional reviewers** — domain experts for
+ the touched area, derived from `CODEOWNERS` and commit /
+ review history per
+ [`review-flow.md#step-45`](review-flow.md), never fabricated,
+ never auto-requested, and named with backtick-quoted handles
+ so nobody is notified (see the mention policy in
+ [`posting.md#mention-policy`](posting.md)).
+6. **Show the inline-comments picker** — inline review
+ comments are the **default and preferred** output of this
+ skill: for every anchored finding the skill drafts an
+ inline review comment and presents them in a numbered list
+ with all entries enabled by default, so the maintainer
+ accepts them individually. The maintainer picks `[A]ll` /
+ `[N]one` / `[<indices>]` / drops a few. A body-only review
+ is the explicit exception, reached only by passing
+ `inline:off`, which suppresses the picker for the whole
+ session. Findings that cannot be anchored to a `file:line`
+ (e.g. on unchanged lines) go in the review body instead.
+7. **Show the draft to the maintainer** — full body, count of
+ inline comments to be posted, and the chosen disposition.
+8. **On confirmation** — post via the GraphQL
+ `addPullRequestReview` mutation (or `gh pr review` if no
+ inline comments survived the picker). See
+ [`posting.md`](posting.md). On rejection — capture the
+ maintainer's edits and re-draft.
+9. **On `[S]kip`** — leave the PR alone and move on.
+10. **On `[Q]uit`** — exit the session.

+should really be drafted because of merge conflicts that
+appeared), the skill says so explicitly and points them at
+`pr-management-triage pr:<N>`. It does not silently invoke triage actions.
+
+**Exception — slop-detection early exit** — full carve-out text in [`slop-detection.md`](slop-detection.md).
+
+## What this skill deliberately does NOT do
+
+- **First-pass triage actions.** Drafting, rebasing,
+ pinging, rerunning CI, marking `ready for maintainer review` —
+ all live in [`pr-management-triage`](../pr-triage/SKILL.md). If the
+ current PR needs one of those, the skill says so and points
+ at `pr-management-triage pr:<N>`. *(Exception: the
+ slop-detection `[X]` close+lock path — see Golden rule 9.)*
+- **Requesting or notifying reviewers.** Step 4.5 *names*
+ domain experts in the review body as backtick-quoted handles;
+ it never live-`@`-mentions them (see the mention policy in
+ [`posting.md#mention-policy`](posting.md)), never calls
+ `gh pr edit --add-reviewer`, and never uses the
+ `requestReviews` mutation. Formally requesting a reviewer is
+ a separate maintainer action (or a job for
+ [`reviewer-routing`](../reviewer-routing/SKILL.md)).
+- **Merging.** Merging is a conscious maintainer action that
+ belongs in a separate flow.
+- **Submitting reviews on closed / merged PRs.** The skill only
+ reviews open PRs.
+- **Running CI locally.** The skill examines the diff and
+ reasons about it; running tests locally before approving is a
+ judgment call the maintainer makes per PR (the `dry-run`
+ selector and `[S]kip-for-now` exit are how that gets handled
+ inside this skill).
+- **Modifying PR code.** This skill never pushes commits, never
+ proposes patches via `gh pr review --suggested-changes`
+ beyond the verbatim suggestion blocks in
+ [`posting.md`](posting.md), and never edits the contributor's
+ branch.
+- **Bypassing the project's review criteria.** Findings cite
+ specific rules from the source files declared in
+ `<project-config>/pr-management-code-review-criteria.md` and
+ from the project's repo-wide [`AGENTS.md`](../../../../AGENTS.md).
+ New review philosophies belong in those files first; this
+ skill picks them up automatically once they land.

- anchor** → ✗ security-flagged; investigate before
- upgrading.

-(patches on JIRA issues, landed via SVN) or `mail-patch` (`[PATCH]`
-threads on `dev@`, landed via SVN) — resolves the same verbs against
-its own backend, and this skill drives it unchanged.
-
-| Triage operation | Contract verb | GitHub resolution (this skill) |
-|---|---|---|
-| Fetch the candidate queue (Step 1) | `list_open(filter)` | aliased GraphQL PR search |
-| Pull one PR out for individual handling | `get(id)` | `gh pr view` / `gh api` |
-| Read review history (last-comment-by-viewer, stale reviewer) | `get_discussion(id)` | GraphQL reviews / comments |
-| CI-rerun and mark-ready gates (Step 2) | `status(id)` | GraphQL check + mergeable state |
-| *comment* disposition (Step 4) | `post_review(id, comment, body)` | `gh pr edit --body` / comment |
-| *close* disposition (Step 4) | `reject(id, reason)` | `gh pr close` |

+surfaced to the maintainer before it goes through — the skill
+never mutates a PR without explicit confirmation. Safe unilateral
+actions: reading PR state via `gh`, writing to the session-scoped
+scratch cache, producing draft comment text.
**Golden rule 1b — never mark ready for review while workflow
-approval is pending.** Before adding the `ready for maintainer
-review` label, the implementation MUST verify, via
-`GET /repos/.../actions/runs?status=action_required&head_sha=<SHA>`,
-that zero workflow runs are awaiting approval. If any are, the
-PR is really `pending_workflow_approval` and the `mark-ready`
-action must refuse — even if `statusCheckRollup.state` reports
-`SUCCESS`. The rollup can and does report SUCCESS from fast
-bot checks (`Mergeable`, `WIP`, `DCO`, `boring-cyborg`) while
-`Tests`, `CodeQL`, and newsfragment-check sit in
-`action_required`; trusting the rollup there fills the
-maintainer-review queue with PRs whose real CI never ran. The
-guard applies identically to every code path that adds the
-`ready for maintainer review` label, including the
-[`mark-ready`](actions.md#mark-ready--add-ready-for-maintainer-review-label)
-action invoked from
-[row 14a](classify-and-act.md#decision-table) after author
-confirmation. The
-[`request-author-confirmation`](actions.md#request-author-confirmation--ask-the-pr-author-whether-feedback-is-addressed)
-action itself does not add the label (it only posts a comment),
-so the REST check is not required there — but the subsequent
-sweep that promotes the PR via `mark-ready` runs the check
-exactly as documented above.
-Implementation recipe: [`actions.md#mark-ready`](actions.md).
-This rule is **also enforced deterministically** by the
-agent-guard `PreToolUse` hook (the `mark-ready` guard) when the
-framework's secure setup is installed — it blocks the
-`--add-label "ready for maintainer review"` command if the head
-SHA still has `action_required` runs, independently of whether
-the skill remembered to check. See
-[`tools/agent-guard`](../../../../tools/agent-guard/README.md).
-
-**Golden rule 2 — propose in groups, fall back to per-PR.** The
-typical triage pass finds many PRs that need the same action
-(e.g. five PRs all flagged to *rebase*, eight PRs all passing
-and suggested for *mark ready*). Offer them to the maintainer
-as a group and let the group be accepted in one keystroke. Any
-PR the maintainer wants to inspect individually is pulled out of
-the group and handled one-at-a-time. The goal is to minimise
-decisions per PR without ever hiding a PR behind a group
-decision — see [`interaction-loop.md`](interaction-loop.md).
-
-**Golden rule 3 — one GraphQL call per batch, not per PR.** The
-PR-list + enrichment layer uses aliased GraphQL queries so that
-50 PRs' check state, mergeability, unresolved threads, commits
-behind, last-comment-by-viewer, and latest reviews come back in a
-*single* request. Individual `gh pr view` / `gh api` calls per
-PR will quickly blow the maintainer's 5000-point/h GraphQL
-budget. See [`fetch-and-batch.md`](fetch-and-batch.md) for the
-canonical query templates.
-
-**Golden rule 4 — fetch all pages up front, then classify
-once, then present.** Pagination happens entirely in Step 1
-before any group is shown to the maintainer. The fetch loop
-runs until `has_next_page=false`, accumulating every PR record
-into a single in-memory set. Classification runs once over the
-full set (a pure function over the fetched data — zero further
-GraphQL). Groups are then formed across the whole queue, not
-per page. The maintainer sees one screen per `(classification,
-action)` group regardless of how many GitHub pages it spans —
-the `mark-ready` group is presented once with every passing
-PR, not chunk-by-chunk. This eliminates the per-page
-context switch and lets the maintainer step away during the
-fetch phase. The cost is one upfront wait; the saving is no
-intra-session context-switching between action classes. See

-- tells the contributor the message was drafted by an

-the skill steps back. Three specific cases, all
-enforced as pre-classification filters in
-[`classify-and-act.md#pre-filters`](classify-and-act.md) (rows F5a, F5b, F5c):
-
-- **Author-response cooldown (≥ 72 hours).** If the most recent
- feedback across general comments, review-thread comments and
- submitted reviews with non-whitespace bodies is by a
- `COLLABORATOR`/`MEMBER`/`OWNER`, was posted after the latest
- author push and is < 72 hours old, skip the PR. Select the latest
- item before checking its author. The author needs at least three
- days to read maintainer feedback and respond — auto-drafting in
- <24 hours reads as the bot rushing the contributor.
-- **Maintainer-to-maintainer ping.** If the most recent
- collaborator comment `@`-mentions another maintainer (or a
- team) and that mentioned party hasn't replied yet, skip the
- PR — the conversation is between maintainers, and a "the
- author should work on comments" auto-draft de-focuses the
- thread away from the input the original commenter was asking
- for.
-- **Author question to a maintainer (ball in our court).** The
- inverse of the maintainer-to-maintainer case: if the most
- recent human comment is by the **PR author** and `@`-mentions a
- maintainer (or the committers team) with no maintainer reply
- after it, the author is waiting on *us*. Skip the author-facing
- flow — never ping the author, request readiness confirmation,
- convert to draft, or close it for "silence". The next move is a

**Golden rule 11 — deliver violation feedback through the
-configured channel, and default to the silent one.** The
-deterministic quality-violation feedback for `draft`, `comment`
-(deterministic-flag), and `close` is delivered per
-[`<project-config>/pr-management-config.md → triage_feedback_channel`](../../../../projects/_template/pr-management-config.md),
-which defaults to **`pr-body`**: the feedback is *folded into the
-PR description* as a managed marker block instead of posted as a
-comment. Editing a PR body does not notify subscribers, so the
-default keeps maintainer mailboxes quiet (see
-[`rationale.md#why-fold-feedback-into-the-pr-body-denoise`](rationale.md#why-fold-feedback-into-the-pr-body-denoise)).
-Under the default `pr-body` channel **every** contributor-facing
-action — not just the three violation actions, but `ping`,
-`request-author-confirmation`, and the stale-sweep notices too —
-folds into the one managed block (Golden rule 12), so a PR never
-carries more than a single triage note. The legacy
-`triage_feedback_channel: comment` mode keeps the per-template
-comment bodies for adopters who opt into it. See
+configured channel, and default to the silent one.** The channel
+contract, the default-to-`pr-body` rationale, and the folded-note
+delivery are specified in

-and [`actions.md`](actions.md).
+and [`actions.md`](actions.md#delivering-the-feedback--triage_feedback_channel).
**Golden rule 12 — the folded note notifies the author, and only
-the author.** Under the default `pr-body` channel the folded
-maintainer-triage note is **not** silent — it deliberately
-`@`-mentions the PR author and **assigns** them, because the note
-is a "your move" signal. But the author is the *only* person ever
-notified:
-
-- Only the author is `@`-mentioned; only the author is assigned
- (`gh pr edit --add-assignee <author>`). On the ready-for-review
- flip the author is **un-assigned** (the ball returns to the
- maintainers).
-- **No maintainer is ever `@`-mentioned, assigned, or pinged** —
- not the operator, not a reviewer, not a CODEOWNER, not a team.
- Maintainer handles appear backtick-quoted (`` `@login` ``) only.
-- The framework's reviewer-re-review / reviewer-ping variants are
- removed; the author-primary nudge (folded, reviewer named with a
- backtick handle) is the only nudge. The author pings the reviewer
- themselves, from their own account, when ready.
-- Enforced deterministically by the agent-guard `mention` guard:
- in a `gh pr edit --body` it permits the author's `@`-mention and
- blocks every other. See
- [`tools/agent-guard`](../../../../tools/agent-guard/README.md) and
- [`comment-templates.md`](comment-templates.md#the-folded-maintainer-triage-note--the-single-contributor-channel).
-- Exemption — **your own PR/issue**: this rule targets triaging
- *other* people's PRs. When the operator is themselves the author
- (author == the authenticated `gh` user), the guard allows
- `@`-mentioning maintainers/reviewers — nudging your own reviewers
- from your own PR is a legitimate, deliberate act. A one-off
- `MAGPIE_ALLOW_MENTIONS=1` override is the escape hatch for any
- other intentional exception.
-
-This supersedes Golden rule 9's "pings still notify a maintainer"
-expectation for the operator/reviewer side: F5a/F5b still make the
-skill *step back* from an active maintainer conversation, but the
-skill itself never generates a maintainer notification.
-
----
-
-## Inputs
-
-Before running, resolve the maintainer's selector into a concrete
-query:
-
-| Selector | Resolves to |
-|---|---|
-| `triage` (default) | every open non-collaborator / non-bot PR against `<repo>`, most-recently-updated first, one page of 20 |
-| `triage pr:<N>` | the single PR number `<N>` — useful for re-triage after a contributor push, or for a spot check |
-| `triage label:<LBL>` | open PRs carrying label `<LBL>` (supports wildcards like `area:*`, `provider:amazon*`) |
-| `triage author:<LOGIN>` | open PRs from a specific author |
-| `triage review-for-me` | open PRs where review is requested from the authenticated user |
-| `triage stale` | stale sweep only — skips triage of active PRs, runs just the sweep rules from [`stale-sweeps.md`](stale-sweeps.md) |
-
-If no selector is supplied, default to `triage`.
-
-The target repository defaults to `<upstream>`. Pass
-`repo:<owner>/<name>` to override. Only `<upstream>` is
-the fully-exercised target; other repos may lack the expected
-labels (the skill will warn and degrade gracefully — see
-[`prerequisites.md`](prerequisites.md)).
-
----
-
-## Step 0 — Pre-flight check
-
-Run the checks in [`prerequisites.md`](prerequisites.md) before
-touching any PR:
-
-1. `gh auth status` must return authenticated, and the active
- account must be a collaborator on `<repo>`. (Without
- collaborator access the mutations below — label-add,
- convert-to-draft, close, approve-workflow — will silently
- fail.)
-2. The expected labels (`ready for maintainer review`,
- `closed because of multiple quality violations`,
- `suspicious changes detected`) must exist on `<repo>`;
- missing ones degrade to "post the comment, skip the label"
- with a warning.
-3. Initialise (or read) the session cache at
- `/tmp/pr-management-triage-cache-<repo-slug>.json` (see
- [`fetch-and-batch.md#session-cache`](fetch-and-batch.md)).
-
-A failure of step 1 is a **stop** — surface it and ask the
-maintainer to run `gh auth login`. Steps 2 and 3 degrade
-gracefully with warnings.
-
----
-
-## Step 0.5 — Promote bot-authored draft PRs
-
-Before the main triage loop, sweep for open *draft* PRs authored
-by the bot logins enumerated in
-[`classify-and-act.md#pre-filters`](classify-and-act.md), row F2
-(`dependabot`, `dependabot[bot]`, `renovate[bot]`,
-`github-actions`, `github-actions[bot]`, anything matching
-`*[bot]`). For each match the skill proposes two mutations —
-convert draft → non-draft (`gh pr ready`) **and** add the
-`ready for maintainer review` label — bundled as the single
-[`promote-bot-draft`](actions.md#promote-bot-draft--convert-a-bot-authored-draft-and-label-it-ready)
-action.
-
-This is a once-per-session pre-pass, not a per-page sweep — bot
-drafts are author-deterministic, low volume, and don't benefit
-from pagination. F2 still excludes the same logins from
-Steps 1–5, so a bot draft the maintainer skips here stays a
-draft and does not surface again in the main loop.
-
-Fetch query (one GraphQL call, no overlap with Step 1's page-1
-fetch):
-
-```text
-is:pr is:open draft:true repo:<repo>
-```
-
-then client-filter the returned authors to the F2 login pattern.
-If the result set is empty, log a one-line "no bot drafts open"
-and proceed to Step 1.
-
-Otherwise present every match as a single group via the
-[interaction loop](interaction-loop.md). Default keystroke is
-`[A]ll` — the action is deterministic and the bot authorship
-removes the contributor-conversation concern that motivates
-per-PR review elsewhere. The maintainer may still pick
-`[E]ach` / `[P]ick NN` / `[S]kip group` for individual review.
-
-**Golden rule 1b still applies.** The `promote-bot-draft` action
-adds the `ready for maintainer review` label, so its
-implementation MUST run the same `action_required` workflow-run
-check that [`mark-ready`](actions.md#mark-ready--add-ready-for-maintainer-review-label)
-does. A bot draft with workflow runs awaiting approval refuses
-promotion and is re-routed to `pending_workflow_approval` —
-unusual for trusted bots in practice, but defensive against the
-case where the head SHA picks up a first-time-contributor commit
-via a merge or a misconfigured bot account.
-
----
-
-## Step 1 — Resolve the selector and fetch every page
-
-Translate the selector into the GraphQL PR-list query from
-[`fetch-and-batch.md`](fetch-and-batch.md). **Walk every page**
-of the result set in a loop until `pageInfo.hasNextPage` is
-false, each iteration issuing one aliased batch call that
-returns, for every PR on the page:
-
-- head SHA, base ref, draft flag, mergeable state,
-- check-rollup state + list of failing check names,
-- unresolved review-thread count and reviewer logins,
-- commits-behind count vs. the base branch,
-- most recent comment author and timestamp (for "already
- triaged" detection),
-- `authorAssociation` and labels.
-
-Accumulate every PR into a single in-memory list, then deduplicate
-it by number after the final page, keeping each PR's last (freshest)
-occurrence. Do not classify, do not present, do not prompt the
-maintainer between pages — the fetch loop is uninterrupted,
-runs to completion, and emits one progress line per page so
-the maintainer can step away during the wait. See
-[`fetch-and-batch.md#full-pagination-loop`](fetch-and-batch.md#full-pagination-loop)
-for the canonical loop pattern and rate-limit accounting.
-
-Also fetch, once per session before the page loop:
-
-- the `action_required` workflow-run index, per
- [`fetch-and-batch.md#mandatory-action_required-run-index-per-page`](fetch-and-batch.md#mandatory-action_required-run-index-per-page)
-- the recent main-branch failures set, per
- [`fetch-and-batch.md#recent-main-branch-failures`](fetch-and-batch.md#recent-main-branch-failures-for-is-this-failure-systemic)
-
-Both are repo-scoped (not page-scoped) and only need fetching
-once. Stash them on the session for Step 2.
-
-Do not read PR bodies, diffs, or failed-job logs in this step —
-those are deferred to the per-PR drill-in when the maintainer
-pulls a PR out of a group.
-
----
-
-## Step 2 — Classify the entire fetched set
-
-Run **every PR fetched in Step 1** through
-[`classify-and-act.md`](classify-and-act.md), once:
-
-1. Apply the [pre-filters](classify-and-act.md#pre-filters) (F1–F5c)
- to drop collaborator PRs, bot accounts, fresh drafts,
- already-marked-ready PRs without regression, and PRs with an
- active maintainer conversation (72-hour author cooldown, an
- unanswered maintainer-to-maintainer ping, or an unanswered
- author question to a maintainer — ball in our court).
-2. Evaluate the [decision table](classify-and-act.md#decision-table)
- top-to-bottom. The first matching row yields the
- `(classification, action, reason)` tuple for that PR.
-3. For any PR that the table classifies as `passing` (rows 19,
- 20), the [Real-CI guard](classify-and-act.md#real-ci-guard)
- must pass — otherwise re-route to `pending_workflow_approval`
- (row 1) or `rebase` (row 16).
-
-Classification + action selection is a pure function of the data
-already fetched in Step 1. No extra network calls. No prompts.
-The full-set classification runs in a single pass over the
-in-memory list assembled in Step 1 — no pagination, no chunking.
-
-The output is a single list of `(pr, classification, action,
-reason)` tuples covering the entire queue, which the
-interaction loop then groups in Step 3. See
-[`rationale.md`](rationale.md) only when a decision needs prose
-context — borderline PR, contested rule, or when editing the
-table itself.
-
----
-
-## Step 3 — Group and present
-
-Using [`interaction-loop.md`](interaction-loop.md), group the
-tuples produced in Step 2 by `(classification, action)`. Groups
-**span the entire queue**: every passing PR across every page
-goes into a single `mark-ready` group, every CI-failed PR
-across every page goes into a single `draft` group, and so on.
-The maintainer sees one screen per `(classification, action)`
-class regardless of how many GitHub pages it spans.
-
-Present each group to the maintainer in the order:
-
-1. `pending_workflow_approval` — safety-relevant, goes first
-2. `deterministic_flag` with action `close` — destructive,
- review individually
-3. `deterministic_flag` with actions `draft` / `comment` /
- `rebase` / `rerun` / `ping` — in that order
-4. `stale_review` → `ping`
-5. `deterministic_flag` → `request-author-confirmation`
- (engagement heuristic fired; ask the author whether the
- PR is ready before any label or reviewer-ping is generated
- — first leg of the two-sweep gate)
-6. `author_confirmed_ready` → `mark-ready` (author replied
- to a prior request; silent label apply, presented just
- before plain `mark-ready` so the maintainer reviews all
- label-add proposals back-to-back)
-7. `passing` → `mark-ready`
-8. Stale sweeps (`stale_draft` → `close`, `inactive_open` →
- `draft`, `stale_workflow_approval` → `draft`,
- `stale_ready_label` → `strip-ready-label`,
- `stale_ready_label_unhealthy` → `close`,
- `stale_author_confirm_request` → `ping`)
-
-For each group, present one screen worth of headline info
-(PR number, title, author, 1-line reason, label chips) and
-offer:
-
-- `[A]ll` — apply the suggested action to every PR in the group
-- `[E]ach` — walk through the group one PR at a time
-- `[P]ick NN` — handle PR `NN` individually, keep the rest in
- the group
-- `[S]kip group` — leave every PR in the group alone this run
-- `[Q]uit` — exit the session
-
-`close` and `flag-suspicious` groups never accept `[A]ll`
-without an extra per-PR confirm — those are destructive enough
-that batching must still route through a per-PR review.
-
-When a PR is pulled out of a group via `[P]NN` or `[E]`, fetch
-the per-PR drill-in data (failed-job log snippets, full diff
-for `[W]`) lazily at that moment. Step 1's full-set fetch
-intentionally omits this deep data — the per-PR cost is paid
-only when the maintainer actually drills in.

+agent-guard enforcement, and the own-PR exemption are specified in

---
-## Step 4 — Execute
+Selector semantics (`triage pr:<N>` / `label:<LBL>` / `author:<LOGIN>` / `review-for-me` / `stale` / `repo:<owner>/<name>`) and their query resolution are specified in [`fetch-and-batch.md#inputs`](fetch-and-batch.md#inputs).
-On the maintainer's confirmation, execute the action for the
-confirmed PR(s) using the recipes in [`actions.md`](actions.md).
-Each action builds its comment body (when one is needed) from
-[`comment-templates.md`](comment-templates.md) and — before
-mutating — re-checks the PR's `head_sha` against the value
-captured in Step 1. If the SHA has changed, the maintainer is
-notified (the contributor pushed while we were deciding) and the
-PR is re-enriched and re-classified before the action is applied.
-This optimistic-lock pattern is the same one the original breeze
-tool used and catches the common race.
+**Step 0 — pre-flight:** run the checks in [`prerequisites.md`](prerequisites.md) before touching any PR; an auth / collaborator-access failure stops the run, the label and session-cache checks degrade gracefully.
-After each group completes, update the session cache with the
-new classification and head SHA so a re-run inside the same
-window skips the PRs we just handled.
+**Step 0.5 — bot-draft promotion:** before the main loop, sweep open draft PRs authored by the F2 bot logins and propose the bundled [`promote-bot-draft`](actions.md#promote-bot-draft--convert-a-bot-authored-draft-and-label-it-ready) action — the pre-pass spec is in [`actions.md`](actions.md#step-05--promote-bot-authored-draft-prs).
---
+**Step 1 — fetch:** resolve the selector per [`fetch-and-batch.md#inputs`](fetch-and-batch.md#inputs), walk every page of the aliased PR-list query until `pageInfo.hasNextPage` is false, deduplicate at the end, and prefetch the `action_required` run index and the recent main-branch failures once per session — the canonical loop is in [`fetch-and-batch.md#full-pagination-loop`](fetch-and-batch.md#full-pagination-loop).
-## Step 5 — Stale sweeps
-
-Pagination is finished — Step 1 already walked every page of
-the main candidate set. After the maintainer has worked
-through every interactive group from Step 3 (or supplied
-`triage stale`), run the stale sweeps from
-[`stale-sweeps.md`](stale-sweeps.md):
-
-- close stale drafts older than 7 days with no author reply
- after triage comment, or older than 2 weeks with no activity
-- convert non-draft PRs with >4 weeks of no activity to draft
-- convert workflow-approval PRs with >4 weeks of no activity
- to draft
-- on PRs labeled `ready for maintainer review` that have gone
- quiet ≥ 7 days, re-classify live and act by *whose court the
- ball is in*: keep the label when the next move is a
- maintainer's (review, merge, workflow approval, CI rerun,
- branch update); strip it (with an audit marker, plus the
- author-facing action in the same pass) only when the next
- move is the author's (conflict, code fix, unresolved threads,
- readiness confirmation). See
- [`stale-sweeps.md#sweep-4--stale-ready-for-review-label`](stale-sweeps.md#sweep-4--stale-ready-for-review-label).
-- on PRs holding a pending author-confirmation request
- (first leg of row 14c) whose author has been silent ≥ 7
- days, propose plain `ping` to escalate. See
- [`stale-sweeps.md#sweep-5--stale-author-confirm-request`](stale-sweeps.md#sweep-5--stale-author-confirm-request).
-
-Each sweep that needs a different candidate set than the main
-fetch (e.g. Sweep 4, which queries `label:"ready for
-maintainer review"` instead of excluding it) runs its own
-full-pagination loop using the same pattern as Step 1 — walk
-every page until `hasNextPage=false`, accumulate into a single
-list, classify in one pass, then emit a single group via the
-interaction loop. The maintainer confirms the group before any
-PR is touched. Per-sweep candidate sets are typically small
-(stale candidates concentrate around the back of the queue),
-so the additional fetch loops cost little.
-
-See
-[`fetch-and-batch.md#search-query-construction`](fetch-and-batch.md#search-query-construction)
-for how each sweep's selector translates into a search query.
+**Step 2 — classify:** run **every PR fetched in Step 1** through
+[`classify-and-act.md`](classify-and-act.md), once — the pre-filters
+(F1–F5c), the first-match-wins decision table, the Real-CI guard on
+`passing` rows, and the single-pass output contract are specified
+there.
---
-## Step 6 — Session summary
-
-On exit, print a one-screen summary:
-
-- counts of PRs handled per action (drafted, commented, closed,
- rebased, reruns triggered, author-confirm requests posted,
- marked ready, bot drafts promoted, pinged, workflow approvals,
- suspicious flags)
-- counts of PRs skipped and per-reason breakdown (already
- triaged, inside grace window, bot, collaborator)
-- counts of PRs left pending (classified in Step 2 but the
- group containing them wasn't decided before quit)
-- total wall-clock time and PRs-per-minute velocity
-
-The on-screen summary is for the maintainer's quick read at
-session end.
+**Step 3 — group and present:** group the Step 2 output by `(classification, action)` and present one group at a time — order, screens, and keystrokes are specified in [`interaction-loop.md`](interaction-loop.md).
-### Step 6b — Propose session-history gist update
+**Step 4 — execute:** on confirmation, run the action recipes in [`actions.md`](actions.md); re-check each PR's `head_sha` before mutating — the optimistic lock is specified in [`interaction-loop.md#optimistic-lock-re-check-before-mutate`](interaction-loop.md#optimistic-lock-re-check-before-mutate).
-After the on-screen summary, the skill proposes appending the
-session to a long-lived **private GitHub gist** so the
-maintainer can review automation calibration across many
-sessions. The proposal step is **always confirm-before-mutate**
-— gist content is published under the maintainer's account.
+**Step 5 — stale sweeps:** after the interactive groups (or with `triage stale`), run the sweeps specified in [`stale-sweeps.md`](stale-sweeps.md).
-The gist captures:
+**Step 6 — session summary:** print the one-screen per-action / per-reason / pending summary — the format is specified in [`interaction-loop.md#session-summary`](interaction-loop.md#session-summary).
-- per-action PR counts and the PR numbers (so the maintainer can
- re-open any individual decision later),
-- per-rule "rule-fired" vs "user-overrode" counts (the input
- signal for which actions can be safely automated further),
-- per-PR notes when the maintainer overrode the proposed action
- (the reason matters more than the override itself),
-- stale-sweep counts and any deferrals.
-
-See [`session-history.md`](session-history.md) for the gist
-content schema, the create-vs-update logic, the local
-state-file location, and the maintainer-confirmation flow.
-
-The local state file
-(`.apache-magpie.session-state.json` at the adopter repo root,
-gitignored) is the persistence anchor — it stores the gist URL
-across sessions so subsequent runs of the skill update the same
-gist rather than creating a new one each time.
-
-This step is a no-op when:
-
-- `gh auth status` reports a token without `gist` scope (the
- skill prints a one-line warning pointing at
- [`prerequisites.md`](prerequisites.md) and continues),
-- the maintainer passes `--no-history` (see
- [Parameters](#parameters-the-user-may-pass)),
-- or `dry-run` is active.
+**Step 6b — session-history gist:** then propose the gist update — always confirm-before-mutate; the gist schema, create-vs-update logic, and no-op conditions are in [`session-history.md`](session-history.md).

-is:
-

## `mark-ready` — add `ready for maintainer review` label
+**Golden rule 1b — never mark ready for review while workflow
+approval is pending.** Before adding the `ready for maintainer
+review` label, the implementation MUST verify, via
+`GET /repos/.../actions/runs?status=action_required&head_sha=<SHA>`,
+that zero workflow runs are awaiting approval. If any are, the
+PR is really `pending_workflow_approval` and the `mark-ready`
+action must refuse — even if `statusCheckRollup.state` reports
+`SUCCESS`: fast bot checks (`Mergeable`, `WIP`, `DCO`,
+`boring-cyborg`) can report SUCCESS while `Tests`, `CodeQL`, and
+newsfragment-check sit in `action_required`, and trusting the
+rollup there fills the maintainer-review queue with PRs whose
+real CI never ran. The guard applies to every code path that
+adds the label, including the
+[`mark-ready`](actions.md#mark-ready--add-ready-for-maintainer-review-label)
+action invoked from
+[row 14a](classify-and-act.md#decision-table) after author
+confirmation; the
+[`request-author-confirmation`](actions.md#request-author-confirmation--ask-the-pr-author-whether-feedback-is-addressed)
+action only posts a comment, so the REST check is not required
+there — but the subsequent sweep that promotes the PR via
+`mark-ready` runs it as documented above.
+Implementation recipe: [`actions.md#mark-ready`](actions.md).
+This rule is **also enforced deterministically** by the

+framework's secure setup is installed — it blocks the

+## Step 0.5 — Promote bot-authored draft PRs
+
+Before the main triage loop, sweep for open *draft* PRs authored
+by the bot logins enumerated in
+[`classify-and-act.md#pre-filters`](classify-and-act.md), row F2
+(`dependabot`, `dependabot[bot]`, `renovate[bot]`,
+`github-actions`, `github-actions[bot]`, anything matching
+`*[bot]`). For each match the skill proposes two mutations —
+convert draft → non-draft (`gh pr ready`) **and** add the
+`ready for maintainer review` label — bundled as the single
+[`promote-bot-draft`](actions.md#promote-bot-draft--convert-a-bot-authored-draft-and-label-it-ready)
+action.
+
+This is a once-per-session pre-pass, not a per-page sweep — bot
+drafts are author-deterministic, low volume, and don't benefit
+from pagination. F2 still excludes the same logins from
+Steps 1–5, so a bot draft the maintainer skips here stays a
+draft and does not surface again in the main loop.
+
+Fetch query (one GraphQL call, no overlap with Step 1's page-1
+fetch):
+
+```text
+is:pr is:open draft:true repo:<repo>
+```
+
+then client-filter the returned authors to the F2 login pattern.
+If the result set is empty, log a one-line "no bot drafts open"
+and proceed to Step 1.
+
+Otherwise present every match as a single group via the
+[interaction loop](interaction-loop.md). Default keystroke is
+`[A]ll` — the action is deterministic and the bot authorship
+removes the contributor-conversation concern that motivates
+per-PR review elsewhere. The maintainer may still pick
+`[E]ach` / `[P]ick NN` / `[S]kip group` for individual review.
+
+**Golden rule 1b still applies.** The `promote-bot-draft` action
+adds the `ready for maintainer review` label, so its
+implementation MUST run the same `action_required` workflow-run
+check that [`mark-ready`](actions.md#mark-ready--add-ready-for-maintainer-review-label)
+does. A bot draft with workflow runs awaiting approval refuses
+promotion and is re-routed to `pending_workflow_approval` —
+unusual for trusted bots in practice, but defensive against the

+- The framework's reviewer-re-review / reviewer-ping variants are
+ removed; the author-primary nudge (folded, reviewer named with a
+ backtick handle) is the only nudge. The author pings the reviewer
+ themselves, from their own account, when ready.

+## Change-request contract binding
+
+The PR operations in this skill are the GitHub *resolution* of the
+backend-neutral [`contract:change-request`](../../../../tools/change-request/)
+verbs. Triage speaks the contract; the `gh` / GraphQL commands shown
+in the steps below are how the GitHub adapter ([`tools/github/`](../../../../tools/github/))
+resolves those verbs. A project that declares a different
+`change_request.backend` in `<project-config>/project.md` — `jira-patch`
+(patches on JIRA issues, landed via SVN) or `mail-patch` (`[PATCH]`
+threads on `dev@`, landed via SVN) — resolves the same verbs against
+its own backend, and this skill drives it unchanged.
+
+| Triage operation | Contract verb | GitHub resolution (this skill) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Fetch the candidate queue (Step 1) | `list_open(filter)` | aliased GraphQL PR search |
+| Pull one PR out for individual handling | `get(id)` | `gh pr view` / `gh api` |
+| Read review history (last-comment-by-viewer, stale reviewer) | `get_discussion(id)` | GraphQL reviews / comments |
+| CI-rerun and mark-ready gates (Step 2) | `status(id)` | GraphQL check + mergeable state |
+| *comment* disposition (Step 4) | `post_review(id, comment, body)` | `gh pr edit --body` / comment |
+| *close* disposition (Step 4) | `reject(id, reason)` | `gh pr close` |
+
+Triage **never** calls `land` — merging is out of scope for this skill
+(it lives in `pr-management-quick-merge` and the maintainer's own
+merge command). Backends whose `status` returns `checks: none` /
+`mergeable: unknown` (a JIRA patch with no pipeline, a bare `[PATCH]`
+thread) degrade the CI-rerun and mark-ready gates to advisory: the
+skill falls back to a human-judgement prompt rather than blocking. See
+the contract's `status` graceful-degradation note.

+of the result set in a loop until `pageInfo.hasNextPage` is
+false, each iteration issuing one aliased batch call that

+- check-rollup state + list of failing check names,
+- unresolved review-thread count and reviewer logins,
+- commits-behind count vs. the base branch,
+- most recent comment author and timestamp (for "already
+ triaged" detection),
+- `authorAssociation` and labels.
+
+Accumulate every PR into a single in-memory list, then deduplicate
+it by number after the final page, keeping each PR's last (freshest)
+occurrence. Do not classify, do not present, do not prompt the
+maintainer between pages — the fetch loop is uninterrupted,
+runs to completion, and emits one progress line per page so
+the maintainer can step away during the wait. See
+[`fetch-and-batch.md#full-pagination-loop`](fetch-and-batch.md#full-pagination-loop)
+for the canonical loop pattern and rate-limit accounting.

+is:
+
+- 1 PR-list + rollup query per page in Step 1 (default
+ `$batchSize=20`, so a 200-PR queue is ~10 page queries)

+- 1 query for the recent main-branch failures set
+ (cached for 4h)
+- 0–5 additional fetch loops for stale-sweep candidate sets
+ (each loop is itself paginated)
+- 1 mutation per action taken (draft / close / comment / label /
+ rerun / workflow-approve)
+
+Per page the cost is `cost=3` against the rate-limit budget
+(see [`fetch-and-batch.md#batch-size`](fetch-and-batch.md#batch-size)),
+so a 200-PR full-sweep is ~30 points of fetch + N mutations —
+well under the 5000/h budget. If a run starts approaching the
+limit, the skill is mis-batching (most likely: an individual
+`gh pr view` per PR instead of an aliased batch query) — stop
+and fix the call pattern, do not work around it with
+rate-limit sleeps.
+
+The fetch loop in Step 1 runs serially page-by-page. Do not
+fire pages in parallel hoping to win wall-clock time — GitHub
+rate-limits per-account and parallel page fetches just push

+After the on-screen summary, the skill proposes appending the
+session to a long-lived **private GitHub gist** so the
+maintainer can review automation calibration across many
+sessions. The proposal step is **always confirm-before-mutate**
+— gist content is published under the maintainer's account.
+
+The gist captures:
+
+- per-action PR counts and the PR numbers (so the maintainer can
+ re-open any individual decision later),
+- per-rule "rule-fired" vs "user-overrode" counts (the input
+ signal for which actions can be safely automated further),
+- per-PR notes when the maintainer overrode the proposed action
+ (the reason matters more than the override itself),
+- stale-sweep counts and any deferrals.
+
+See [`session-history.md`](session-history.md) for the gist
+content schema, the create-vs-update logic, the local
+state-file location, and the maintainer-confirmation flow.
+
+The local state file
+(`.apache-magpie.session-state.json` at the adopter repo root,
+gitignored) is the persistence anchor — it stores the gist URL
+across sessions so subsequent runs of the skill update the same
+gist rather than creating a new one each time.

+## Step 5 — Stale sweeps

+Pagination is finished — Step 1 already walked every page of

+through every interactive group from Step 3 (or supplied
+`triage stale`), run the stale sweeps from
+[`stale-sweeps.md`](stale-sweeps.md):
+
+- close stale drafts older than 7 days with no author reply

+- convert non-draft PRs with >4 weeks of no activity to draft
+- convert workflow-approval PRs with >4 weeks of no activity

+- on PRs labeled `ready for maintainer review` that have gone

+ maintainer's (review, merge, workflow approval, CI rerun,
+ branch update); strip it (with an audit marker, plus the
+ author-facing action in the same pass) only when the next
+ move is the author's (conflict, code fix, unresolved threads,
+ readiness confirmation). See
+ [`stale-sweeps.md#sweep-4--stale-ready-for-review-label`](stale-sweeps.md#sweep-4--stale-ready-for-review-label).
+- on PRs holding a pending author-confirmation request

+ [`stale-sweeps.md#sweep-5--stale-author-confirm-request`](stale-sweeps.md#sweep-5--stale-author-confirm-request).
+
+Each sweep that needs a different candidate set than the main
+fetch (e.g. Sweep 4, which queries `label:"ready for
+maintainer review"` instead of excluding it) runs its own
+full-pagination loop using the same pattern as Step 1 — walk
+every page until `hasNextPage=false`, accumulate into a single
+list, classify in one pass, then emit a single group via the
+interaction loop. The maintainer confirms the group before any
+PR is touched. Per-sweep candidate sets are typically small
+(stale candidates concentrate around the back of the queue),
+so the additional fetch loops cost little.
+
+See
+[`fetch-and-batch.md#search-query-construction`](fetch-and-batch.md#search-query-construction)
+for how each sweep's selector translates into a search query.

-## Why the skill does not merge (Agentic Autonomous)

-defines `mode:Autonomous` as *"narrowly-scoped auto-merge (off until
-Triage/Mentoring/Drafting run 2 quarters)"*. A per-PR-confirmed merge of a
-trivial PR is precisely narrowly-scoped auto-merge — it is Agentic Autonomous,
-not a loophole around it. The framework chose to hold Agentic Autonomous back
-until the Triage, Mentoring, and Drafting modes have demonstrated two quarters of
-safe operation. This skill respects that decision: it ships the **Triage-mode
-identification half** (sweep the queue, classify, propose for human action —
-`capability:triage`) and stops at the boundary. The merge stays a manual
-maintainer action.
-
-When the governance gate lifts, a merge action belongs in a **separate,
-explicitly Mode-D-labelled change** (its own skill or a gated sub-action) with
-its own safety protocol — live gate re-verification immediately before merge,
-head-SHA optimistic lock, branch-protection respect (no `--admin`, no force),
-per-PR confirmation, never batch, and session-history logging. That change is
-out of scope here and must not be smuggled in under `capability:triage`.

+## Step 1 — Fetch the ready queue
+
+Build the search query (oldest-updated first so the longest-waiting easy wins
+surface at the top):
+
+```text
+is:pr is:open repo:<repo> label:"ready for maintainer review" sort:updated-asc
+```
+
+Walk every page with the family's batched query from
+[`pr-management-triage/fetch-and-batch.md`](../pr-triage/fetch-and-batch.md),
+**extended with the per-PR file list and churn totals** the triviality screen
+needs:
+
+```graphql
+ additions
+ deletions
+ mergeStateStatus # CLEAN / UNSTABLE / BLOCKED / DIRTY / UNKNOWN / BEHIND
+ files(first: 100) { nodes { path additions deletions } }
+```
+
+`files(first: 100)` caps at 100 changed files — any PR with more than 100 files
+is by definition not a quick-merge candidate, so the cap never truncates a real
+candidate (a PR that hits it fails the `max_files` screen immediately). Keep the
+inner `first:` arguments modest (lower the outer `$batchSize` to 15 if the
+complexity ceiling trips — the `files` connection adds nodes).
+
+Fetch the repo-scoped `action_required` workflow-run index once per session
+(same REST call as
+[`pr-management-triage/fetch-and-batch.md#mandatory-action_required-run-index-per-page`](../pr-triage/fetch-and-batch.md#mandatory-action_required-run-index-per-page))
+— a PR with a run awaiting approval is **not** gate-green even if its rollup
+reads SUCCESS.
+
+Do not read full diffs in this step. The diff is fetched lazily only when the
+maintainer asks for `[V]iew diff` on a specific candidate.
+
+---
+
+## Step 2 — Three-stage screen
+
+Run every fetched PR through [`candidate-rules.md`](candidate-rules.md):
+
+1. **Quality-gate gate** (hard pass/fail, from the batch) — drop any PR not green
+ on every Stage-1 gate: real CI green, no failed/pending checks, no workflow
+ approval pending, no unresolved collaborator threads, no outstanding
+ changes-requested. Mergeability is **not** gated here beyond an early-drop of
+ the obviously batch-`CONFLICTING`. No partial credit.
+2. **Triviality classification** (from the batch) — of the survivors, keep those
+ whose footprint is within `max_churn` / `max_files` **and** whose every file
+ matches the allow-list with none in the deny-list. Assign Tier A or Tier B.
+3. **Live merge-readiness** — for each survivor (now a handful), make **one REST
+ call** (`GET /repos/<repo>/pulls/<N>`) to resolve `mergeable` +
+ `mergeable_state` live, because the batched value is unreliable for a large
+ `ready` queue. Bucket each as **ready-to-merge** (`clean`/`unstable`/`behind`),
+ **needs-approval** (`blocked` — branch merges cleanly but a committer approval
+ is missing; the skill's primary case), or **drop** (`dirty`/conflict, or still
+ `unknown` this run). See [Stage 3](candidate-rules.md#stage-3--live-merge-readiness).
+
+Stages 1–2 are a pure function of the Step-1 batch (no mutations, no prompts);
+Stage 3 adds the small per-candidate re-poll. The output is two ranked lists:
+**ready-to-merge** and **needs-approval-then-merge**.

@@ -176,19 +123,7 @@ read-only and inherits everything from `pr-management-triage`'s contract.
**Golden rule 2 — reuse pr-management-triage's triage-detection.** The "triaged" count and "responded" count depend on the same `Pull Request quality criteria` marker string and the same collaborator set (`OWNER`/`MEMBER`/`COLLABORATOR`) that drive the triage-marker rows in `pr-management-triage/classify-and-act.md` (rows 3–4 — `already_triaged`). Don't invent a second definition — both skills must agree on "is this PR triaged".
-**Golden rule 3 — one GraphQL call per batch, not per PR.** Same rule as `pr-management-triage/fetch-and-batch.md`. One aliased query covers the open-PR list for a whole page; the closed/merged fetch is paginated by GitHub's search cursor. Never call `gh pr view` per PR.
-
-**Golden rule 4 — include a legend with every render.** The tables are dense (15+ columns on the still-open table). Always print a short legend after the tables explaining the columns — `Contrib.` = non-collaborator, `Responded` = author replied after the triage comment, `Drafted by triager` = PR converted to draft by the viewer, etc. Nobody remembers column abbreviations in isolation. The dashboard's hero cards and recommendation panel are themselves self-explanatory and don't need the [...]
-
-**Golden rule 5 — state the input scope up front.** Before rendering, print one line summarising what the stats cover: repo name, total open PR count, closed-since cutoff date, and viewer login. The numbers only make sense in context.
-
-**Golden rule 6 — recommendations are deterministic, not opinions.** Every action surfaced in the "What needs attention" panel comes from a fixed rule in [`render.md#recommendation-rules`](render.md#recommendation-rules). The skill never editorialises ("queue is doing well", "you should focus on X") — it surfaces the rule's trigger and the suggested next-step command. The maintainer reads the trigger and decides; the skill never decides for them. New rules are added by editing the rules [...]
-
-**Golden rule 7 — actions link to other skills, never mutate.** Every recommendation's `action` field is the *exact* slash-command the maintainer can paste to do the work — almost always `pr-management-triage`, `pr-management-code-review`, or a focused variant with a label/PR-number filter. The stats skill itself remains pure-read (Golden rule 1); the dashboard makes downstream skills *one paste away* from running.
-
-**Golden rule 8 — render ALL sections, never silently skip.** The dashboard layout in [`render.md`](render.md) declares 11 sections (Title context, Hero cards, Recommendations, Trends-over-time line charts, Closure velocity, Opened-vs-closed momentum, Ready-for-review trend by top areas, Closed-by-triage-reason, Pressure by area, CODEOWNERS responsibility, Triage funnel, Triager activity, Detailed tables, Legend). The agent MUST render every section. If a section's data is genuinely unav [...]
-
-**Golden rule 9 — `is_engaged` requires the FULL engagement schema.** The open-PRs GraphQL query MUST include `reviewThreads`, `latestReviews`, and `timelineItems` (for `LABELED_EVENT`/`READY_FOR_REVIEW_EVENT`/`CONVERT_TO_DRAFT_EVENT`). The `is_engaged` predicate in [`classify.md`](classify.md) counts ALL of these as maintainer engagement; omitting any of them under-counts engagement and over-counts untriaged — concretely, a maintainer who left only a line-level review comment (no submit [...]

-2. Walk the **recommendation rules** from [`render.md#recommendation-rules`](render.md#recommendation-rules) in declared order. Each rule that fires produces one entry with `priority`, `icon`, `title`, `detail`, `action` (an exact slash command, or `—` when no paste-clean command applies), and a count. `action` and `detail` are kept in separate columns so prose / parentheticals stay out of the slash command.

-## Step 5b — Compute weekly velocity buckets
-
-Pure function of the closed/merged-since-cutoff PR set.
-
-For each of the last 6 weeks (rolling, anchored on the fetch-start `<now>`), bucket PRs by `closedAt` and count `merged` and `closed` separately. Also count the triaged-then-merged / triaged-then-closed / triaged-then-responded subsets — those are what feed the trend mini-stats below the velocity bars.

-## Step 5c — Compute opened-vs-closed weekly buckets
-
-Pure function of *both* the open-PR set (Step 1) and the closed/merged-since-cutoff PR set (Step 3) — every PR's `createdAt` is checked against each weekly window regardless of current state.
-
-For each of the same six rolling weekly windows, compute:
-
-- `opened` — PR's `createdAt` falls in the window
-- `closed_total` — PR was closed/merged in the window (reuses the velocity buckets from Step 5b)
-- `net_delta = opened - closed_total`
-
-These per-week numbers feed the dashboard's "Opened vs closed momentum" line chart and the two-line "Net delta" summary below it. See [`aggregate.md#opened-vs-closed-weekly-buckets`](aggregate.md#opened-vs-closed-weekly-buckets) for the exact spec.

-## Step 5d — Compute ready-for-review trend by top areas

-Needs one extra fetch (per [`fetch.md#ready-label-timeline`](fetch.md#ready-label-timeline)): for each currently-`ready for maintainer review` PR, the timestamp of its most recent `LabeledEvent` adding that label. Aliased GraphQL, ~30 PRs per call.
-
-Then for each top-pressure area (top 5 by Step 5f's score, filtered to areas with ≥ 3 currently-ready PRs), compute a 6-bucket cumulative count: `ready_count[a][w] = count of currently-ready PRs in area a where labeled_at <= w.end`.
-
-Feeds the dashboard's "Ready-for-review trend" multi-line chart. See [`aggregate.md#ready-for-review-trend-by-top-areas`](aggregate.md#ready-for-review-trend-by-top-areas) for the exact spec and rendering rules.

-Pure function of the closed/merged-since-cutoff PR set (Step 3) — reuses the existing per-PR `is_triaged` / `responded_before_close` / `merged` flags.
-
-For each weekly bucket, classify each closed PR into exactly one of four categories: `merged`, `closed-after-responded`, `closed-after-triage-no-response`, `closed-no-triage`. Sum per category per week.
-
-Feeds the dashboard's "Closed-by-triage-reason per week" stacked bar chart. See [`aggregate.md#closed-by-triage-reason-per-week`](aggregate.md#closed-by-triage-reason-per-week) for the category definitions, colour map, and summary line.

-
-## Step 5f — Compute area pressure scores
-
-Pure function of the classified open-PR set.
-
-Per area, compute a **pressure score** = weighted sum of urgent PR conditions. The weights are defined in [`aggregate.md#pressure-score`](aggregate.md#pressure-score):
-
-- untriaged non-draft, > 4 weeks old → 5 pts
-- untriaged non-draft, 1–4 weeks old → 3 pts
-- untriaged non-draft, < 1 week old → 1 pt
-- triaged-waiting, > 7 days old → 2 pts (author abandoned, sweep candidate)
-- ready-for-review (label present) → 1 pt (queue waiting on maintainer review)
-- everything else → 0 pts (drafts the maintainer can ignore until author engages)
-
-Sort areas by score descending; render the top 8 (filtering areas with < 3 contributor PRs as noise) in the "Pressure by area" panel.
-
----
-
-## Step 5g — Compute trend snapshots (backlog / inflow / triage velocity / coverage)
-
-Pure function of the union of open + closed-since-cutoff PR sets. No additional network beyond what Steps 1, 3, and 5d already fetched.
-
-For each of the same six weekly windows, compute (see [`aggregate.md`](aggregate.md) for each spec):
-
-- **Open backlog** — count of PRs that were *open at end-of-week-`w`* (createdAt ≤ window.end AND (currently open OR closedAt > window.end)).
-- **PRs opened by author class** — partition the `opened` per-week count by `authorAssociation` (FIRST_TIME / CONTRIBUTOR / MAINTAINER).
-- **Triage velocity** — count of PRs whose *first* QC-marker comment fell in the window, split by AI-drafted vs manual.
-- **Triage coverage rate** — for PRs opened in the window, percentage where `is_engaged` is true.
-- **Ready-queue size cumulative** — count of currently-ready PRs whose `labeled_at` ≤ window.end (single line, all areas combined; the per-area version is from Step 5d).
-
-These five series feed the dashboard's "Trends over time" section (panel 3b).
-
-⚠ Triage velocity and triage coverage rate are limited by the `comments(last:N)` cap on the closed-PR fetch (N=25): older outstanding triage markers on chatty PRs are missed. Annotate the panels with the caveat.
-
----
-
-## Step 5h — Compute CODEOWNERS responsibility (optional)
-
-Skip if `.github/CODEOWNERS` (and the fallback locations described in
-[`fetch.md#reading-githubcodeowners`](fetch.md#reading-githubcodeowners)) are absent.
-
-Otherwise:
-
-1. Parse the file into `(pattern, [owners])` rules in declaration order. Owner tokens are stripped of leading `@`.
-2. For each currently-ready PR, fetch its changed file paths (
- [`fetch.md#pr-changed-files-codeowners-panel`](fetch.md#pr-changed-files-codeowners-panel)) — one extra GraphQL pass, ~8 calls for ~150 ready PRs.
-3. For each file, apply the rules and take the **last** matching rule's owners. Union per PR.
-4. Per owner, count distinct PRs in their union.
-5. **Waiting subcount**: for each (owner, PR) pair, check whether the owner has posted any comment on the PR (from the comments fetched in Step 1) such that the author has not commented or pushed since. Count distinct PRs per owner.
-
-Feeds the dashboard's "Ready-for-review queue by CODEOWNER" panel (8b). See [`aggregate.md#ready-for-review-queue-by-codeowner`](aggregate.md#ready-for-review-queue-by-codeowner).
-

+Steps 5a–5h — health rating + action recommendations, weekly velocity buckets, opened-vs-closed weekly buckets, ready-for-review trend by top areas, closed-by-triage-reason buckets, area pressure scores, trend snapshots, and CODEOWNERS responsibility — are computed per [`compute.md`](compute.md).
-## Step 6 — Render dashboard
-
-Render the maintainer dashboard per the layout in [`render.md#dashboard-layout`](render.md#dashboard-layout):
-
-1. **Context line** — repo, open count, cutoff, viewer, timestamp.
-2. **Hero cards (4)** — health rating, total open, ready count, untriaged-non-draft count.
-3. **What needs attention** — recommendation list from Step 5a.
-3b. **Trends over time** — 5 inline-SVG line charts (open backlog, PRs opened by author class, ready-queue cumulative, triage velocity, triage coverage rate). Each chart sits above a precise per-week table.
-4. **Closure velocity** — weekly line chart + stacked-bar table from Step 5b.
-5. **Opened vs closed momentum** — line chart from Step 5c.
-6. **Ready-for-review trend by top areas** — multi-line chart from Step 5d.
-7. **Closed by triage reason** — line chart + stacked-bar table from Step 5e.
-8. **Pressure by area** — top areas from Step 5f.
-8b. **Ready-for-review queue by CODEOWNER** — per-owner Ready + Waiting-for-author table (skip if `.github/CODEOWNERS` absent). See [`aggregate.md#ready-for-review-queue-by-codeowner`](aggregate.md#ready-for-review-queue-by-codeowner).
-9. **Triage funnel** — 5-column hero grid: Ready / Responded / Waiting (AI-only) / Waiting (manual maintainer response) / Not yet triaged. The "Waiting" cards are mutually exclusive — see [`classify.md#waiting-sub-states--ai-only-vs-maintainer-response`](classify.md#waiting-sub-states--ai-only-vs-maintainer-response).
-9b. **Triager activity** — per-maintainer per-week PR-engagement counts.
-10. **Detailed tables** (collapsed by default):
- 1. **Triaged PRs — Final State since `<cutoff>`** — one row per area where `Triaged Total > 0`.
- 2. **Triaged PRs — Still Open** — one row per area where `Total > 0`, plus the `TOTAL` row.
-11. **Legend** — verbose explanation of every colour, column abbreviation, and computed metric on the dashboard.
-
-The dashboard is **HTML by default** so the colour-coded hero cards, action priority bars, and velocity bars render correctly. A Markdown fallback (and a Rich terminal-tables variant for the detailed-tables section only) is produced when the maintainer passes `markdown` or `tables-only`. See [`render.md`](render.md) for the full layout, the colour scheme, and the recommendation rule definitions.
-
-Two analytic panels are **required** in addition to the eleven above and
-are specified in [`render.md`](render.md):
-
-- **Ready-for-review queue split (by why-waiting)** — the `ready` queue
- broken into never-reviewed / discussed-no-decision / changes-requested /
- approved, as 4 coloured hero cards plus an age timeline (oldest bucket on
- the left). See [`render.md#ready-for-review-queue-split-by-why-waiting`](render.md#ready-for-review-queue-split-by-why-waiting).
-- **Drafts & closes attribution by person** — who does the
- draft-conversions and closes, triage-action (actor ≠ author) vs
- author-self, with per-maintainer shares; counted from timeline events,
- bots/backports excluded. See [`render.md#drafts--closes-attribution-by-person`](render.md#drafts--closes-attribution-by-person).
+Step 6 renders the dashboard per the layout, colour scheme, and recommendation rules in [`render.md`](render.md).

+## Adopter overrides
+
+Before running the default behaviour documented
+below, this skill consults
+[`.apache-magpie-local/pr-management-stats.md`](../../../../docs/setup/agentic-overrides.md) (personal, gitignored) and [`.apache-magpie-overrides/pr-management-stats.md`](../../../../docs/setup/agentic-overrides.md) (committed, project-wide)
+in the adopter repo if it exists, and applies any
+agent-readable overrides it finds. See
+[`docs/setup/agentic-overrides.md`](../../../../docs/setup/agentic-overrides.md)
+for the contract — what overrides may contain, hard
+rules, the reconciliation flow on framework upgrade,
+upstreaming guidance.
+
+**Hard rule**: agents NEVER modify the snapshot under
+`<adopter-repo>/.apache-magpie/`. Local modifications
+go in the override file. Framework changes go via PR
+to `apache/magpie`.
+

+
+## Snapshot drift
+
+Also at the top of every run, this skill compares the
+gitignored `.apache-magpie.local.lock` (per-machine
+fetch) against the committed `.apache-magpie.lock`
+(the project pin). On mismatch the skill surfaces the
+gap and proposes
+[`setup upgrade`](../../../magpie-setup/skills/setup/upgrade.md).
+The proposal is non-blocking — the user may defer if
+they want to run with the local snapshot for now. See
+[`docs/setup/install-recipes.md` § Subsequent runs and drift detection](../../../../docs/quick-start/other-install-methods.md#subsequent-runs-and-drift-detection)
+for the full flow.
+
+Drift severity:
+
+- **method or URL differ** → ✗ full re-install needed.
+- **ref differs** (project bumped tag, or `git-branch`
+ local is behind upstream tip) → ⚠ sync needed.
+- **`svn-zip` SHA-512 mismatches the committed
+ anchor** → ✗ security-flagged; investigate before
+ upgrading.
+
+---
+## Adopter configuration
+
+This skill reads the same area-label prefix and triage-marker
+string declared in [`pr-management-triage`'s adopter config](../pr-triage/SKILL.md#adopter-configuration):
+
+- [`<project-config>/pr-management-config.md → area_label_prefix`](../../../../projects/_template/pr-management-config.md) — drives the area grouping in both stats tables.
+- [`<project-config>/pr-management-triage-comment-templates.md → Triage-marker visible link text`](../../../../projects/_template/pr-management-triage-comment-templates.md) — the literal string that classifies a PR as triaged. **Both `pr-management-triage` and `pr-management-stats` must agree** on this string; the framework defaults to `Pull Request quality criteria`.
+
+No `pr-management-stats`-specific config file is needed — the skill is
+read-only and inherits everything from `pr-management-triage`'s contract.

The stats run must produce the same numbers when invoked twice on the same cached state. Keep the classification pure (no time-dependent randomness) and anchor age-bucket cutoffs to `<now>` captured at fetch start, not at render time. Otherwise a slow run drifts PRs across buckets between fetch and render.
This applies to `pressure_weight` too — the `7d` / `28d` thresholds are computed from the same `<now>` as the age buckets, so a PR that's exactly on a bucket boundary scores deterministically across re-runs of the same fetch.

+# Compute
+
+## Step 5a — Compute health rating + action recommendations
+
+Pure function of the classified open-PR set. No network.
+
+1. Apply the **health rating** thresholds from [`aggregate.md#health-rating`](aggregate.md#health-rating): each fired threshold is a "issue point". Map total points → `✅ Healthy` / `⚠️ Needs attention` / `🔥 Action needed`.
+2. Walk the **recommendation rules** from [`render.md#recommendation-rules`](render.md#recommendation-rules) in declared order. Each rule that fires produces one entry with `priority`, `icon`, `title`, `detail`, `action` (an exact slash command, or `—` when no paste-clean command applies), and a count. `action` and `detail` are kept in separate columns so prose / parentheticals stay out of the slash command.
+3. The recommendation list is the input to the dashboard's "What needs attention" panel. If zero rules fire, surface the explicit "no urgent actions detected" panel — never leave the section empty.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5b — Compute weekly velocity buckets
+
+Pure function of the closed/merged-since-cutoff PR set.
+
+For each of the last 6 weeks (rolling, anchored on the fetch-start `<now>`), bucket PRs by `closedAt` and count `merged` and `closed` separately. Also count the triaged-then-merged / triaged-then-closed / triaged-then-responded subsets — those are what feed the trend mini-stats below the velocity bars.
+
+See [`aggregate.md#weekly-velocity`](aggregate.md#weekly-velocity) for the exact bucket boundaries and the avg/peak summary computation.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5c — Compute opened-vs-closed weekly buckets
+
+Pure function of *both* the open-PR set (Step 1) and the closed/merged-since-cutoff PR set (Step 3) — every PR's `createdAt` is checked against each weekly window regardless of current state.
+
+For each of the same six rolling weekly windows, compute:
+
+- `opened` — PR's `createdAt` falls in the window
+- `closed_total` — PR was closed/merged in the window (reuses the velocity buckets from Step 5b)
+- `net_delta = opened - closed_total`
+
+These per-week numbers feed the dashboard's "Opened vs closed momentum" line chart and the two-line "Net delta" summary below it. See [`aggregate.md#opened-vs-closed-weekly-buckets`](aggregate.md#opened-vs-closed-weekly-buckets) for the exact spec.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5d — Compute ready-for-review trend by top areas
+
+Needs one extra fetch (per [`fetch.md#ready-label-timeline`](fetch.md#ready-label-timeline)): for each currently-`ready for maintainer review` PR, the timestamp of its most recent `LabeledEvent` adding that label. Aliased GraphQL, ~30 PRs per call.
+
+Then for each top-pressure area (top 5 by Step 5f's score, filtered to areas with ≥ 3 currently-ready PRs), compute a 6-bucket cumulative count: `ready_count[a][w] = count of currently-ready PRs in area a where labeled_at <= w.end`.
+
+Feeds the dashboard's "Ready-for-review trend" multi-line chart. See [`aggregate.md#ready-for-review-trend-by-top-areas`](aggregate.md#ready-for-review-trend-by-top-areas) for the exact spec and rendering rules.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5e — Compute closed-by-triage-reason buckets
+
+Pure function of the closed/merged-since-cutoff PR set (Step 3) — reuses the existing per-PR `is_triaged` / `responded_before_close` / `merged` flags.
+
+For each weekly bucket, classify each closed PR into exactly one of four categories: `merged`, `closed-after-responded`, `closed-after-triage-no-response`, `closed-no-triage`. Sum per category per week.
+
+Feeds the dashboard's "Closed-by-triage-reason per week" stacked bar chart. See [`aggregate.md#closed-by-triage-reason-per-week`](aggregate.md#closed-by-triage-reason-per-week) for the category definitions, colour map, and summary line.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5f — Compute area pressure scores
+
+Pure function of the classified open-PR set.
+
+Per area, compute a **pressure score** = weighted sum of urgent PR conditions. The weights are defined in [`aggregate.md#pressure-score`](aggregate.md#pressure-score):
+
+- untriaged non-draft, > 4 weeks old → 5 pts
+- untriaged non-draft, 1–4 weeks old → 3 pts
+- untriaged non-draft, < 1 week old → 1 pt
+- triaged-waiting, > 7 days old → 2 pts (author abandoned, sweep candidate)
+- ready-for-review (label present) → 1 pt (queue waiting on maintainer review)
+- everything else → 0 pts (drafts the maintainer can ignore until author engages)
+
+Sort areas by score descending; render the top 8 (filtering areas with < 3 contributor PRs as noise) in the "Pressure by area" panel.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5g — Compute trend snapshots (backlog / inflow / triage velocity / coverage)
+
+Pure function of the union of open + closed-since-cutoff PR sets. No additional network beyond what Steps 1, 3, and 5d already fetched.
+
+For each of the same six weekly windows, compute (see [`aggregate.md`](aggregate.md) for each spec):
+
+- **Open backlog** — count of PRs that were *open at end-of-week-`w`* (createdAt ≤ window.end AND (currently open OR closedAt > window.end)).
+- **PRs opened by author class** — partition the `opened` per-week count by `authorAssociation` (FIRST_TIME / CONTRIBUTOR / MAINTAINER).
+- **Triage velocity** — count of PRs whose *first* QC-marker comment fell in the window, split by AI-drafted vs manual.
+- **Triage coverage rate** — for PRs opened in the window, percentage where `is_engaged` is true.
+- **Ready-queue size cumulative** — count of currently-ready PRs whose `labeled_at` ≤ window.end (single line, all areas combined; the per-area version is from Step 5d).

The maintainer reads the trigger and decides; the skill never decides for them. New rules are added by editing the rules [...]

+**Golden rule 7 — actions link to other skills, never mutate.** Every recommendation's `action` field is the *exact* slash-command the maintainer can paste to do the work — almost always `pr-management-triage`, `pr-management-code-review`, or a focused variant with a label/PR-number filter.

A Markdown fallback (and a Rich terminal-tables variant for the detailed-tables section only) is produced when the maintainer passes `markdown` or `tables-only`. See [`render.md`](render.md) for the full layout, the colour scheme, and the recommendation rule definitions.
+
+Two analytic panels are **required** in addition to the eleven above and
+are specified in [`render.md`](render.md):
+
+- **Ready-for-review queue split (by why-waiting)** — the `ready` queue
+ broken into never-reviewed / discussed-no-decision / changes-requested /
+ approved, as 4 coloured hero cards plus an age timeline (oldest bucket on
+ the left). See [`render.md#ready-for-review-queue-split-by-why-waiting`](render.md#ready-for-review-queue-split-by-why-waiting).
+- **Drafts & closes attribution by person** — who does the
+ draft-conversions and closes, triage-action (actor ≠ author) vs
+ author-self, with per-maintainer shares; counted from timeline events,
+ bots/backports excluded. See [`render.md#drafts--closes-attribution-by-person`](render.md#drafts--closes-attribution-by-person).

| `triage_feedback_channel` | `pr-body` | Where the deterministic quality-violation feedback for the `draft`, `comment` (deterministic-flag), and `close` actions is delivered. `pr-body` (default): the violations are **folded into the PR description** as a managed marker block — editing a PR body does **not** notify subscribers, so the maintainer mailbox stays quiet (the [denoise rationale](../../skills/pr-management-triage/rationale.md#why-fold-feedback-into-the-pr-body-denoise)). `comme [...]

Pick `maintainer-sweep` if your project runs a regular maintainer triage cadence and prefers a lightweight contributor confirmation over a re [...]
