Notable PRs

Closed without merge ⚠️

• #32611: Add OTLP header-secret fallback to smoke OTEL backend workflow
• #32582: Bump default Claude Code to 2.1.143 and MCP Gateway to v0.3.10
• #32534: feat: wire analysis_type, tags, and notify into pick_experiment runtime
• #32504: Compare AWF wiring in smoke-copilot vs smoke-pi lock workflows
• #32503: Bump default AWF to v0.25.47 and MCP Gateway to v0.3.10

Open ⏳

• #32675: Reduce immediate lint debt from custom-linter sweep (created ~5 min ago)
• #32655: Add title-based deduplication to create_issue safe outputs (~2h old)

Key Insights

• Two dependency-bump PRs closed without merge (#32582, #32503) — both target the same Claude Code / MCP Gateway version bumps, suggesting duplicate/superseded automation runs worth deduplicating upstream.
• Success rate is healthy and trending up; no open PRs are stale (>24h).
