Notable PRs — 11 Closed Without Merge

Elevated closure count (11 of 44 completed, 25%). Notably many were [WIP] self-abandoned or superseded fixes:

• #46009 — [WIP] Normalize report formatting for non-compliant workflows
• #46008 — split bootstrap_profile_runner.go (1145 lines) into modules
• #45972 — shared github-guard-with-reporting.md bundle migration
• #45963 — Refactor smoke workflow imports with shared smoke-base
• #45962 — pin actionlint to v1.7.12 (superseded by merged fix: align actionlint version to v1.7.12 across all references #45979)
• #45926 / #45803 — [WIP] Fix js-integration-live-api (both closed)
• #45917 — [WIP] Reduce parameter count in linter findings
• #45916 — [WIP] Adopt shared/reporting-otlp.md in 52 workflows
• #45910 — extract pkg/ghexpr expression parsing package
• #45831 — --create repository bootstrap flow

5 PRs remain open, all <24h old (#46020, #46014, #46013, #45999, #45905).

Key Insights

• Closure rate (25%) and a duplicate actionlint-pin PR (fix: pin actionlint to v1.7.12 and eliminate version drift across all references #45962 superseded by fix: align actionlint version to v1.7.12 across all references #45979) suggest some overlapping/redundant refactor tasks being dispatched; deduplicating similar refactor prompts could reduce wasted cycles.
• Avg merge duration nearly doubled (131m → 236m) while volume held steady — worth watching whether larger-scope refactors are lengthening review turnaround.
