Suggested (not linked — for maintainer review)

• [aw]: Follow-up to #1453: create-pull-request MCP-preflight still fails on shallow/detached-HEAD checkouts in the Agent job #1457 + [agent-issue]: fail closed or deepen history when synthetic PR merge-base is unavailable #1451: Both are shallow-checkout / merge-base failures for create-pull-request. Could form a small parent but only 2 issues.
• feat: decouple prompt body from compiled pipeline output (runtime-import approach) #237 (decouple prompt body) and Inject runtime parameter values into the agent prompt via ado-script (sanitization at runtime, not compile time) #432 (inject runtime param values via ado-script): Related to runtime-import and ado-script bundle work; could go under [Parent] Compiler internals and pipeline generation improvements (IR types, YAML gen, prompt decoupling) #1286 if maintainers consider them compiler-internals.
• chore(workflows): recompile safe-output fixtures with ado-aw v0.38.0 #1156, chore(workflows): recompile safe-output fixtures with ado-aw v0.37.0 #1041, chore(workflows): recompile safe-output fixtures with ado-aw v0.36.0 #1027 (recompile safe-output fixtures for v0.36–v0.38): Recurring chore pattern; could benefit from a parent if the pattern continues.
• feat: align FrontMatter fields with gh-aw schema — run-name, labels, metadata, tracker-id, source, strict #451 (FrontMatter alignment with gh-aw schema): Broad schema alignment effort; worth its own parent if sub-tasks are tracked.

Observations

• The backlog has 6 well-formed parent issues that were missing most of their children — 23 orphaned sub-issues have now been linked.
• The largest orphan cluster was recurring agentic workflow failures (8 issues) all clearly in scope for [Parent] Recurring agentic workflow failure incidents (docs-freshness, dependency-updater rate-limit, test-gap-finder) #1285.
• Rate-limit incidents dominate the agentic-workflows label; the root cause likely warrants investigation at the infra level.
• [aw] Detection Runs #793 ([aw] Detection Runs) and [aw] No-Op Runs #13 ([aw] No-Op Runs) appear to be long-lived tracking issues with no obvious parent — may be intentional operational trackers.
