Notable PRs

7 of 13 closures without merge were WIP-superseded automated container-vulnerability-fix PRs (agent posted only "Thanks for asking me to work on this..." then was superseded): #49852, #49851, #49843, #49842, #49841, #49839, #49838. The other 6 closures (#50007, #49998, #49995, #49925, #49893, #49885) had substantive bodies. All 8 still-open PRs are <24h old (oldest ~6.7h), none are stalled.

Key Insights

• Success rate has declined for 3 consecutive days (87.1% → 80.0% → 72.9%), partly driven by repeated WIP-placeholder closures on automated container-vulnerability-fix tasks — worth checking whether that automation should stop opening PRs before work starts.
• Avg merge duration improved sharply (251 → 118 min) alongside a 23% drop in volume (73 → 56 PRs).
