#52489: [squad:plan] Tideglass	#52490: Tideglass — M1 Prototype	Child body explicitly declares Parent: #52489; milestone scope is narrower than the umbrella concept issue.

#52420: Workflow Skill Extractor - Issue Group	#52419: Extract shared component: minimal read permissions block	The parent is an explicit workflow-generated issue group; this issue matches the workflow theme and shared labels.

Potential Relationships (For Manual Review)

• Medium confidence: [aw] Failed jobs: Impeccable Skills Reviewer #52368, [aw] Failed jobs: Ponytail Reviewer #52369, [aw] Failed jobs: Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer #52370, [aw] Failed jobs: Test Quality Sentinel #52372, [aw] Failed jobs: PR Code Quality Reviewer #52373, [aw] Failed jobs: Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer #52374, and [aw] Failed jobs: Issue Monster #52379 all carry cascade-suspected, but the dataset did not expose a single explicit root-cause or umbrella issue, so I left them unlinked.
• Medium confidence: [lint-monster] function-length refactoring backlog #52404 and [lint-monster] parser helper function-length cleanup #52405 are closely related lint-monster issues, but the available text does not clearly establish one as broader than the other.
• Low confidence: Smoke Copilot Small - Issue Group #52550, Smoke Copilot MAI - Issue Group #52552, Smoke Claude - Issue Group #52558, and Smoke Copilot - AOAI (apikey) - Issue Group #52568 are explicit smoke-test issue-group parents, but I did not find matching child issues in this 100-issue slice.

Observations

• Explicit parent references inside issue bodies were the strongest and safest linking signal in this run.
• Most recurring titles in the dataset are automated status artifacts or parallel reports, not true hierarchical work breakdowns.
• Container image findings were the clearest orphan-cluster pattern large enough to justify a new parent issue.
