Agent Improvement Proposal

Pattern Detected

Type: workflow_fix
Affected Agent: automation-tracking-manager
Evidence: Systematic analysis of tracking issues created via the automation-tracking-manager subagent reveals that the CREATE_TRACKING_ISSUE operation only adds the "Automation Tracking" label but does NOT add the other three required labels: Type/Automation, State/In Progress, and Priority/Medium.

The user instruction explicitly states: "When creating tracking issues, ALWAYS include these labels: Type/Automation, State/In Progress, Priority/Medium"

Specific examples of tracking issues missing the required labels despite being created by agents that use automation-tracking-manager:

Issue #6185 "[AUTO-LIAISON] Human Activity Report (Cycle 21)" — has Type/Automation, State/In Progress, Priority/Medium but missing "Automation Tracking"
Issue #6191 "[AUTO-EVLV] Agent Evolution Report (Cycle 24)" — has Type/Automation, State/In Progress, Priority/Medium but missing "Automation Tracking"
Issue #6167 "[AUTO-IMP-SUP] Implementation Pool Supervisor Status (Cycle 1)" — has Type/Automation, State/In Progress, Priority/Medium but missing "Automation Tracking"
Issue #6240 "[AUTO-PROD-BLDR] Product Builder Status (Cycle 1)" — no labels at all

In contrast, issues properly labeled with all 4 required labels include:

Issue #6184 "[AUTO-WATCHDOG] System Health Report (Cycle 32)" — has all 4 labels ✅
Issue #6238 "[AUTO-REV-POOL] Review Pool Status (Cycle 6)" — has all 4 labels ✅
Issue #6220 "[AUTO-ARCH] Architecture Review (Cycle 6)" — has all 4 labels ✅
Issue #6204 "[AUTO-GROOMER] Backlog Grooming Report (Cycle 66)" — has all 4 labels ✅

The pattern shows that the automation-tracking-manager's forgejo_add_issue_labels call only adds the "Automation Tracking" label (ID 1398) but does not add the other three required labels (IDs 1397, 843, 860).

Root Cause

The automation-tracking-manager's CREATE_TRACKING_ISSUE implementation (step 4 in the operation) calls forgejo_add_issue_labels to add only the "Automation Tracking" label. The agent definition does not instruct it to also add the other three required labels in the same call.

The required label IDs are:

"Automation Tracking": ID 1398
"Type/Automation": ID 1397
"State/In Progress": ID 843
"Priority/Medium": ID 860

Proposed Change

Update the automation-tracking-manager agent definition to add ALL four required labels in the CREATE_TRACKING_ISSUE operation. Specifically, in the "### 2. CREATE_TRACKING_ISSUE Operation" section, step 4 should be updated from:

Add the label:

Use forgejo_add_issue_labels to add "Automation Tracking" label

To:

Add all required labels:

Use forgejo_add_issue_labels to add ALL four required labels: "Automation Tracking" (1398), "Type/Automation" (1397), "State/In Progress" (843), and "Priority/Medium" (860)

Pass all four label IDs in a single call: labels: "1398,1397,843,860"

Additionally, the "### For CREATE_TRACKING_ISSUE requests:" section should be updated to explicitly state that all four labels must be added, not just "Automation Tracking".

Expected Impact

All tracking issues created via automation-tracking-manager will have all 4 required labels
Consistent labeling across all automation agents that use the tracking manager
Humans can filter tracking issues by any of the 4 labels to monitor system health
Reduces the backlog-groomer's workload (currently fixing labels retroactively)
Eliminates the need for the backlog-groomer to retroactively add missing labels to tracking issues

Risk Assessment

Very low risk: This is purely additive — adding more labels to the existing label application call. No existing functionality is changed.
Potential issue: If label IDs change (e.g., after a Forgejo migration), hardcoded IDs will break. Mitigation: The IDs are org-level labels that are stable and unlikely to change.
No behavioral change: Labels are metadata only; they do not affect agent logic.
Backward compatibility: Existing tracking issues are not affected; only new issues created after this change will have all 4 labels.

This is a proposal from the agent evolver. A human must approve this issue before the change will be implemented. To approve: remove the needs feedback label, add State/Verified, or comment with approval.

✅ Verified — Valid automation improvement proposal. The automation-tracking-manager CREATE_TRACKING_ISSUE operation should automatically apply required labels. MoSCoW: Should Have — fixes root cause of label compliance issues across all agents.
