What

Every one of the 228 open issues is classified into exactly one tier, with the evidence for the call written next to it:

Tier Count Meaning
C — close now 14 probes, duplicates, a parked campaign, two report-only notes, and 5 verified fixed on main today
Q — quick fix 61 repo-local, one file or one config/message edit, acceptance already in the issue
S — small task 61 one repository, half a day to a day
E — estate campaign 47 mechanical, but lands in other repos / org rulesets / needs tokens
D — decision 18 an owner ruling blocks it; most are a sentence
R — research 6 the fix is not known yet
U — umbrella 21 parents and epics, not work units

Two things the sort turned up

Eight questions in tier D were already answered and were still sitting in the queue as if they had not been: D129 (#1059), D131 (#941), D134 (#497), D167 (#928), D171 (#1008), D173 (#1058), plus #446 (criteria landed as #734) and #658 (ruled 2026-08-27, never written back). They are now tier S/E with the ruling quoted, because "ruled but not implemented" is work.

Seven "red on main" issues are green today. Actions Lockfile Gate, Lock Sync Gate, Workflow security linter and Allowlist Preflight all pass on main as of 2026-10-24 (#935, #992, #1137, #1172), and #1173's 12 baseline findings are down to 1. Those moved to "close now" on evidence gathered today rather than on the issue text.

Files

  • docs/triage/2026-10-24-issue-classification.adoc — the classification, tier by tier, with the ordered quick-fix pass list and the sequence that actually shrinks the number.
  • docs/triage/2026-10-24-issue-classification.csv — the same 228 rows, machine-readable (number, tier, scope, priority, note, url).
  • scripts/triage-2026-10-24-apply.sh — dry-run by default; --apply comments the recorded reason and closes only tier C. Tiers Q/S/E/D/R/U are deliberately untouched, because closing work because it is small is how a backlog becomes a lie.
  • scripts/tests/triage-2026-10-24-apply-test.sh — runs the script against a gh shim: asserts dry-run writes nothing, --apply writes exactly the 14 tier-C issues and nothing else, and already-closed issues are skipped. No test can close a real issue.

Not done (needs your word)

Nothing on GitHub was changed. The 14 closes are staged behind --apply, and the 18 rulings are yours to make.

The backlog mixes seven kinds of object under one number: a two-line script
fix, a 400-repository rollout, a question only the owner can answer, and a
tracker that exists to hold other trackers. Nothing on the list said which
was which, which is why the count feels overwhelming.

Every open issue is now in exactly one tier:

  C  14  close now      probes, dupes, parked, and 5 verified fixed on main
  Q  61  quick fix      one file or one config edit; acceptance already stated
  S  61  small task     single repo, half a day to a day
  E  47  estate campaign mechanical but multi-repo / needs tokens
  D  18  decision       owner ruling blocks; most are a sentence
  R   6  research       the fix is not known yet
  U  21  umbrella       parents and epics, not work units

Two findings are worth more than the sort itself:

  * Eight tier-D questions were already answered in-thread (D129, D131, D134,
    D167, D171, D173, #446, #658) and were still sitting in the queue as if
    they had not been. They are now work, with the ruling quoted.
  * Seven "red on main" issues are green today (Actions Lockfile Gate, Lock
    Sync Gate, Workflow security linter, Allowlist Preflight), and #1173's 12
    baseline findings are down to 1. Those move to "close now" on evidence
    gathered today, not opinion.

The companion script is dry-run by default and only ever touches tier C;
tiers Q/S/E/D/R/U are deliberately left alone, because closing work because
it is small is how a backlog becomes a lie. Tested against a gh shim, so no
test can close a real issue.

P2 Badge Keep #929 open until the affected seed instructions are corrected

Running --apply will close #929 based on checking the wrong file. The existing audit in docs/reorg/2026-10-14-tidy/issue-triage-911-1037.adoc identifies the affected seed as 9-archive/rhodium-standard-repositories/CLAUDE.md, not the root CLAUDE.md. That seed still says “GitLab (Never GitHub)” at line 135, “GitLab CI/CD (never GitHub Actions)” at line 711, and “Use GitHub (always GitLab)” at line 899. Keep this issue in a work tier until the seed is corrected or explicitly marked as obsolete guidance; otherwise the script closes an unresolved issue with an incorrect explanation.

P2 Badge Preserve the outstanding implementation work in #668

Running --apply will close #668 as a knowledge-only note, but the earlier audit in docs/reorg/2026-10-14-tidy/issue-triage-633-910.adoc:240-258 records concrete acceptance work: measurement doctrine, a count-without-denominator check, and a general scripts/estate-census.sh <glob> with a test. Repository-wide path and content searches found no general census implementation or completed doctrine; the existing scripts/cicd-census.sh measures required and emitted CI checks rather than enumerating files. Merely recording the phrase “enumerate-then-filter” does not complete those deliverables. Keep this issue in a work tier, or transfer its acceptance criteria to another open issue before closing it.
