The weekly discovery agent found 9 candidates this cycle. 1 was auto-added. The remaining 8 candidates — 7 high-confidence (score ≥5) and 1 medium-confidence (score 4) — cannot be auto-added because the watchlist is now at the auto-discovery cap (10/10).

Auto-added this cycle ✅

• BloopAI/vibe-kanban (score 8/8) — 23k stars, Kanban-based parallel agent manager for Claude Code/Codex/Gemini; direct rival in the "orchestrate 10+ coding agents" niche
