…e creation as a Non-issue A maintainer rejected a label-skip fix for tend-triage firing on the bot's own monthly tracking-issue creation, on the grounds that the guard already absorbs it cleanly and the skip's standing maintenance (tend label names in config + a regenerated workflow) outweighs the few CI minutes a month saved. Codify the rejection in the Non-issues list so future runs don't re-propose the same fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Problem
review-reviewersproposed a fix (atend-triagelabel-skip for the bot's own monthly tracking issues) that a maintainer rejected as not worth the complication: "The wasted runs are real, but each one no-ops through the existing self-conversation guard, so the cost is a few CI minutes a month. Against that, the skip permanently puts tend-internal label names in.config/tend.yamlplus a regenerated workflow to keep in sync. The guard already covers this case."The pattern the fix targeted —
tend-triagefiring on theissues: openedevent when the bot's ownreview-*-trackingissue is created, reading it, and exiting via the self-conversation guard — is structural and recurring (it fires every month on the 1st). Thereview-reviewersNon-issues list already coverstend-mentionno-ops on the bot's own tracking-issue comments, but nottend-triageon tracking-issue creation. So without codification a future run will re-derive the same fix, re-open it, and get re-rejected — pure maintainer churn, which is exactly what the Non-issues list exists to prevent.Fix
Add one Non-issue bullet marking the
tend-triage-on-own-tracking-issue-creation no-op as expected behavior, and stating the accepted disposition (record as carry observations; do not propose a label-skip/filter, because the standing config+workflow maintenance outweighs the CI minutes the guard already absorbs).Per the repo's skill-authoring rules, the bullet states the structural rule without citing the specific PR/case that produced it.
