8 feature topics required 2–3 closed-PR re-submissions in a 14-day window, each consuming a full agent session with no incremental progress. This adds a structured circuit-breaker at two levels: developer instructions (agent behaviour) and the copilot-opt analysis workflow (detection and escalation).

developer.instructions.md — new PR Deduplication Protocol section

  • Pre-flight check: before opening any PR, search closed PRs for overlapping keywords via GitHub MCP search_pull_requests
  • Prior failure analysis: if a closed PR is found, classify the close reason (ci-failure, reviewer-rejected, scope-mismatch, duplicate, unknown) and document it in a ## Prior Attempts section of the new PR description
  • Retry circuit breaker: ≥2 closed PRs on the same topic → block new PR, add copilot-retry-blocked label, require explicit maintainer approval before proceeding

copilot-opt.md — mandatory duplicate PR detection in analysis workflow

  • Phase 3 promoted from optional to mandatory; split into 3a (general PR signals), 3b (duplicate pattern detection), 3c (retry threshold rules)
  • Phase 3b adds a concrete jq detection procedure grouping closed-without-merge PRs by title and surfacing close reasons via MCP
  • Phase 4 auto-elevates retry-blocked topics (≥2 closed PRs) to high priority in recommendation selection
  • Phase 5 adds a "Prior Failed Attempts" table addendum to issue bodies for retry-blocked topics, plus copilot-retry-blocked label on the created issue
  • Added close-older-issues: true to safe-outputs to prevent stale issue accumulation
  • Final Validation Checklist expanded with duplicate-detection verification steps
# Phase 3b detection — finds topics with ≥2 closed-without-merge PRs
jq '[.[] | select(.state == "CLOSED" and .mergedAt == null)]
    | group_by(.title)
    | map({title: .[0].title, count: length, prs: [.[] | {number, url, closedAt}]})
    | map(select(.count >= 2))
    | sort_by(-.count)' /tmp/gh-aw/pr-data/copilot-prs.json

feat: add pre-flight PR deduplication protocol and copilot-opt retry …

…detection

- Add PR Deduplication Protocol section to developer.instructions.md with:
  - Pre-flight duplicate PR check using search_pull_requests before opening a PR
  - Prior failure analysis phase that reads closed PR reasons at session start
  - Retry limit circuit breaker: no 3rd PR attempt without human review
  - copilot-retry-blocked label protocol
- Update copilot-opt.md:
  - Make Phase 3 PR cross-analysis mandatory (was optional)
  - Add Phase 3b: Duplicate PR Pattern Detection with jq detection procedure
  - Add Phase 3c: Retry count threshold (2=high-risk, 3+=retry-blocked)
  - Elevate retry-blocked topics to high priority in Phase 4 recommendations
  - Add 'Prior Failed Attempts' addendum for retry-blocked issue bodies in Phase 5
  - Add copilot-retry-blocked label requirement for retry-blocked issues
  - Add close-older-issues: true to safe-outputs
  - Expand Final Validation Checklist with duplicate-detection checks
- Recompile copilot-opt.lock.yml

- Fix jq filter: remove redundant .mergedAt == \"\" check, only use null check
- Clarify date format in Prior Failed Attempts table header (YYYY-MM-DD)
- Fix spelling: summarises -> summarizes in developer.instructions.md
- Recompile copilot-opt.lock.yml
