Notable PRs — 10 closed without merge

• #46625 — Add formal spec test suite for security-architecture-spec.md (v1.0.0)
• #46632 — docs: confirm robots.txt with AI crawler Allow rules is fully implemented
• #46648 — Daily Issues Report: switch Copilot engine off sample Python SDK driver
• #46713 — Use Starlight cards for workshop entry-path selection
• #46719 — [WIP] Fix workflow failure on main due to lint-go job
• #46741 — Restore Copilot model: auto behavior by treating auto/none as non-pinning sentinels
• #46743 — Relax identifier length constraints
• #46752 — [WIP] Add stale lock-file preflight for workflow markdown edits
• #46780 — fix: re-probe live gateway after safeoutputs tools.json recovery to prevent silent no-op runs
• #46857 — Clarify intent-aware safe-output mutation contracts across optional and strict modes

Two of these were superseded rather than abandoned: #46713 was closed in favor of the merged #46722 (same title), and #46741 (Copilot model: auto) is being re-attempted in the still-open #46751.

Key Insights

• Healthy day: 77.8% success over 45 completed PRs with a notably faster ~75 min median merge time; all 9 open PRs are fresh (<24h), no stale backlog.
• Closures cluster around workflow/CI fixes and spec/docs work (4 are [WIP] or superseded duplicates), suggesting some churn on in-flight infra changes rather than outright failures.
