Problem

The System Watchdog has detected a persistent systemic issue: multiple agents are creating Pull Requests without adding the required Type/ label. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, every PR must have exactly one Type/ label.

Evidence

As of cycle 8, 12 open PRs have ZERO labels:
#3203, #3202, #3198, #3187, #3184, #3165, #3162, #3161, #3151, #3127, #3112, #3101

These PRs were created by various worker agents (implementors, docs-writer, test-infra) and none added labels at creation time.

Root Cause Analysis

The agent definitions for PR-creating agents (ca-implementer, ca-docs-writer, ca-test-infra-improver, ca-timeline-updater) likely do not include instructions to add Type/ labels when creating PRs via the Forgejo API.

Suggested Fix

Update the following agent definitions to include a step that adds the appropriate Type/ label immediately after creating a PR:

  1. ca-implementer — should add Type/Feature, Type/Bug, or Type/Task based on the linked issue's type
  2. ca-docs-writer — should add Type/Documentation
  3. ca-test-infra-improver — should add Type/Testing or Type/Task
  4. ca-timeline-updater — should add Type/Task or Type/Documentation

The label should match the linked issue's Type/ label, or be inferred from the PR title prefix (fix → Type/Bug, feat → Type/Feature, docs → Type/Documentation, test → Type/Testing, chore → Type/Task).

Impact

Without labels, the project-owner and backlog-groomer cannot efficiently triage PRs, and the reviewer-pool cannot prioritize reviews by type.
