Summary

Removes this repo's WIP-limit caller. The org is retiring work-in-progress limits.

The check posted a soft nudge when the kanban's Code review column exceeded 30. That threshold was set when the column moved at a human pace. It no longer describes how this org ships — Code review has been sitting around 50 with items turning over in days, so the nudge fires on essentially every new PR and carries no signal.

A limit that is always exceeded is not a limit; it is noise on every PR opened.

What this does not change

Nothing gates on this — the check never blocked a merge, and no required status check is affected. Column counts remain visible on the board for anyone who wants them.

Sequencing

Callers are being removed before the reusable in tracebloc/.github. Removing the reusable first would leave every caller referencing a workflow that no longer exists, turning a soft comment into a hard failure on every PR in the fleet.

Note

Low Risk
CI-only removal of an optional, non-blocking check with no merge gates or runtime impact.

Overview
Removes the repo's wip-limit-check GitHub Actions workflow that ran on PR open/ready-for-review and delegated to the org reusable in tracebloc/.github.

That job only posted a soft kanban nudge when Code review exceeded 30 items; it never blocked merges or affected required checks. Dropping the caller is part of retiring WIP limits org-wide before the shared reusable is removed elsewhere.

Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit abfc194. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.

The Code review WIP limit of 30 was set for a human-paced queue. The column now
sits around 50 with items turning over in days, so the nudge fires on nearly
every PR and carries no signal. A limit that is always exceeded is noise, not a
limit.

Nothing gated on this - it never blocked a merge and no required check is
affected.
