Parent	Sub-issue	Reasoning
#1321	#2261	#1321 is the umbrella for "MCPG infrastructure and safe-output tooling improvements." #2261 is a Red Team-identified High severity logic/authorization flaw in the link-work-items safe output (area-path target scoping fail-opens). It is a safe-output tool correctness bug, squarely within #1321's stated scope, and was not yet linked to any parent.

Suggested (not linked — for maintainer review)

• Feature request: first-class TLA+ / TLC (Java) runtime support #1222 (TLA+/TLC runtime support) — fits the runtimes/ module pattern (Lean, Python, Node, .NET) but there's no existing "runtimes" umbrella parent and only one such request is open; not a 5+ cluster.
• test(smoke): report scheduled smoke failures as GitHub issues from the orchestrator #1796 (report scheduled smoke failures as GitHub issues) — tangentially related to [Parent] Safe-output executor E2E test coverage and tool correctness #1428 (safe-output executor E2E coverage) but is about the smoke orchestrator, not a safe-output tool itself; too loose a fit to link with confidence.
• feat: allow enable to target individual pipeline files #1634 (enable target individual pipeline files) and Allow config overrides e.g. npmrc for built ins #253 (config overrides e.g. npmrc for built-ins) — standalone CLI/runtime feature requests with no matching parent or cluster of 5+ similar issues.

Observations

• The backlog is already extensively curated: of the 68 issues analyzed, the vast majority (all [aw] workflow-failure issues, all [deps-release-notes] issues, and most enhancement/refactor/bug issues) were already correctly linked to one of the existing parents ([Parent] Track and act on upstream dependency release-note action items (awf, mcpg, copilot-cli) #1283, [Parent] Compiler internals and pipeline generation improvements (IR types, YAML gen, prompt decoupling) #1286, [Parent] MCPG infrastructure and safe-output tooling improvements #1321, [Parent] Safe-output executor E2E test coverage and tool correctness #1428, [Parent] Track and resolve recurring agentic workflow execution failures (non-rate-limit) #1549, [Parent] Track and resolve recurring AI-credits rate-limit failures in scheduled agentic workflows #1535, [Parent] Track agent runtime and execution pipeline improvements #1649, [Parent] Track self-optimization design follow-ups (extracted from #1061) #2076) by prior Arborist runs.
• Only a handful of issues remain genuinely unparented, and none currently form a fresh cluster of 5+ issues sharing an unambiguous, unaddressed theme — the backlog is in a healthy, low-noise state from a sub-issue-linking perspective.
