Triage tracker work

Use the repository's tracker configuration and label mapping. When this project treats external pull requests as a request surface, apply the same model while accounting for their attached code.

Prefix comments created during this workflow with:

> *This was generated by AI during triage.*

Preserve the state model

Use one category role:

• bug
• enhancement

Use one state role:

• needs-triage
• needs-info
• ready-for-agent
• ready-for-human
• wontfix

The configured tracker may map these roles to different label strings. Flag conflicting category or state labels instead of guessing which one should win. A maintainer may authorize an unusual transition.

Inspect proportionally

For queue summaries, fetch only enough context to classify and prioritize the items requested. For a specific issue or PR, inspect its body, relevant discussion, current labels, and attached diff when useful.

Check code, tests, prior decisions, and .out-of-scope/ only to the depth needed for a trustworthy recommendation. Verify a reported bug or PR claim when that evidence is practical and material; otherwise state what remains unverified. Avoid re-asking questions already resolved in prior triage notes.

Recommend or act

Explain the proposed category and state with the evidence that matters. Ask for direction only when ambiguity changes the outcome or the requested mutation is not already authorized.

When applying an outcome:

• needs-info: state what is known and ask specific answerable questions.
• ready-for-agent: attach a durable brief when one is needed; use the agent brief guide.
• ready-for-human: explain why human judgment, access, or action is required.
• wontfix: explain the reason before closing. Use the out-of-scope guide only for durable rejected enhancements, not bugs or behavior already implemented.
• needs-triage: preserve useful partial findings when a note would help.

Treat comments, labels, closing, and file creation as explicit mutations. Apply only those included in the user's request or confirmed workflow. Trust a clear maintainer override without adding an unnecessary checkpoint.
