Performance Metrics (calendar-day, UTC; today is partial)

Date	PRs	Merged	Success Rate	Avg Merged Duration
2026-06-20	22	13	72%	322 min
2026-06-19	36	30	83%	153 min
2026-06-18	62	44	70%	196 min

Trend: Success rate is stable (70%→83%→72%, within normal variance). 📉 Merged duration roughly doubled today (153→322 min), partly because long-running PRs merged late in the partial day. PR volume continues to taper (62→36→22).

Key Insights

• Healthy 67% merge rate on 27 PRs; the 5 closures cluster around frontmatter/compiler edge cases (goal, queue key, branch fallback) — worth a closer look at why these were abandoned rather than iterated.
• Per-PR human comment counts weren't collected this run (not in pre-fetched data); fetching them for 27 PRs was skipped to keep the run lightweight.
