Failure Investigator addendum — concrete blocking root cause (repo-memory file cap)

Prune the wiki repo-memory store — the push_repo_memory job is hard-failing on a 100-file cap, which will block every Blog Writer run until the store is trimmed. Separate from the "No Safe Outputs" symptom in the original report, run §26929259217 (workflow_dispatch, 03:48Z) fails deterministically in push_repo_memory:

MEMORY_ID: default   MAX_FILE_COUNT: 100   FILE_GLOB_FILTER: (empty - all files accepted)
Scan complete: Found 101 file(s) to copy
##[error]Too many files (101 > 100)

The memory target github/gh-aw.wiki has accumulated unbounded Can-we-have-a-PR--N.md pages (≈93) plus baselines/summaries, exceeding the hard MAX_FILE_COUNT=100. No FILE_GLOB_FILTER is set, so every file is in scope.

Proposed remediation: (1) prune/rotate the Can-we-have-a-PR--N.md pages in the wiki memory; and/or (2) set a FILE_GLOB_FILTER so the push only carries the curated memory files; and/or (3) raise MAX_FILE_COUNT if the full set is genuinely needed.

Success criteria: push_repo_memory completes green and the memory store stays under its file cap on subsequent runs.
