Start with account/settings, document viewer, mode homes and bottom-composer interactions; define an intentional-update workflow before enabling blocking comparisons.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             | design audit reconciliation; session 2026-07-22                                                                                         | 2026-07-22 |
 | #079 | P3  | task  | Disposition retained worktrees in bounded cleanup batches       | **Outcome:** the retained reconciliation tail is gradually classified without another disruptive all-worktree sweep. **Next:** process no more than ten worktrees per explicitly scheduled pass using current owner/process metadata, open-PR state, exact review-ledger coverage, ancestry, and cherry-pick-aware content proof. **Success:** remove only clean, inactive, bundled worktrees whose content is merged or explicitly rejected; record every disposition and retain recovery evidence. **Stop:** preserve dirty, active, secret-bearing, post-freeze, paused, or ambiguous work and never use reset, force deletion, broad clean, or process killing.                                                                                                                                                                                                         | final reconciliation inventory retained 104 independent worktrees; session 2026-07-24                                                   | 2026-07-24 |
 | #080 | P3  | rec   | Re-test the removed admission-to-discharge alias widening       | **Outcome:** decide with measured evidence whether the user-approved 2026-07-21 widening (NMHS admission-to-discharge titles satisfying the admission expectation) belongs back on the wide-tier `AdmissionCommunityPts` list. #030 removed it so one document could not fill both comparison slots, but coverage now enforces distinct document identities by maximum matching, so the widening is no longer a false-pass route and its removal may instead cost legitimate admission credit. **Next:** with approval, run an eval-canary baseline/post pair over the admission-discharge comparison cases with and without those two titles. **Success:** restore only on measured non-regression (recall pinned 1.0, zero per-case reciprocal-rank regressions); otherwise record keep-removed and close. **Stop:** never restore on offline reasoning alone.            | `src/lib/eval-document-matching.ts`; #030 archive row; session 2026-07-25                                                               | 2026-07-25 |
+| #082 | P2  | issue | Bot branch-sync heads leave required checks unapproved          | **Outcome:** an open PR stops stalling when the `github-actions[bot]` sync merge updates its branch. Every bot-authored head produces `action_required` runs for CI, SAST and Secret Scan, so the three required checks never report: PR #1220 was blocked through five successive syncs, and both a normal and an `--admin` merge were refused. Heads pushed by an agent or human still run normally, so the only workaround is pushing an own-authored head and merging before the next sync. **Next:** pick one fix — allow the sync bot in the repository Actions approval setting, push the sync with a token whose runs auto-execute, or drop auto-sync. **Success:** a bot-synced PR reaches green required checks with no manual push. **Stop:** never widen approval settings for fork/untrusted actors or clear the block by bypassing required checks.           | PR #1220 run history 2026-07-25 (heads e927cc3c, e74ce083, 84a224ba, 54bea70b, 0ab9e331); session 2026-07-25                            | 2026-07-25 |
