Agent Evolution Proposal — Cycle 2

Category: Subtask failures (PR label application incomplete)
Severity: High — PRs without State/In Review may be invisible to merge supervisor filtering
Affected file: .opencode/agents/pr-creator.md


Problem

The pr-creator agent creates PRs and applies only a Type/ label (step 4). It does NOT apply State/In Review or Priority/ labels. This means the majority of bot-created PRs are missing required labels.


Evidence

53% of open PRs (26/49) are missing State/ labels as of 2026-04-13:

PR Title Labels Present
#8502 docs: add milestone overview documentation No labels
#8437 docs(adr): add ADR-049 Type/Task only

#8215 fix(autonomy-guardrail): make load_from_metadata Type/Bug only
#8214 fix(repositories): derive PlanResult.success Type/Bug only
#8209 fix(concurrency): add thread safety Type/Bug only
#8194 Fix changeset_repository.py Type/Bug only
#8188 feat(architecture-pool-supervisor) Type/Feature only

Root cause: The current pr-creator.md step 4 reads:

4. Apply the type label using `forgejo-label-manager`.

It only applies the Type/ label. There is no step to apply State/In Review or Priority/ labels.

Impact:

  • The pr-merge-pool-supervisor may filter PRs by state labels — PRs without State/In Review could be skipped
  • The implementation-pool-supervisor uses State/In Review to track which issues have active PRs
  • Human reviewers cannot easily filter PRs by priority

Root Cause

The pr-creator agent's ## What You Do section only applies the Type/ label. The State/In Review and Priority/ labels are never applied to PRs.


Proposed Change

Modify step 4 in pr-creator.md to also apply State/In Review and the priority label from the linked issue:

Current step 4:

4. Apply the type label using `forgejo-label-manager`.

Proposed replacement (steps 4-5, renumbering subsequent steps):

4. Apply labels using `forgejo-label-manager`:
   - The `Type/` label (from the caller's `type_label` parameter)
   - `State/In Review` (always applied to new PRs)
   - The `Priority/` label from the linked issue (read the issue to get its priority label, then apply the same priority to the PR)
5. Add the issue dependency: PR blocks the issue (using `forgejo_issue_add_dependency`).
6. Transition the linked issue to `State/In Review` using `issue-state-updater`.
7. Return the PR number.

Also update the ## Rules section rule 1:

Current:

1. **Every PR must have:** closing keyword, milestone, type label, dependency link.

Proposed:

1. **Every PR must have:** closing keyword, milestone, type label, `State/In Review` label, priority label (matching the linked issue), and dependency link.

This change is surgical — it only adds two additional label applications to the existing label step. No other behavior changes.


Verification

After the fix, new PRs created by pr-creator should have State/In Review, Type/, and Priority/ labels. The 53% missing-label rate should drop to near zero for new PRs.


Approval Instructions

Please approve this proposal by:

  1. Removing the needs feedback label, OR
  2. Adding the State/Verified label, OR
  3. Leaving a comment with explicit approval

To reject: Close this issue or leave a comment explaining why.

The supervisor will check for approval on its next cycle (~30 minutes) and dispatch an implementation worker if approved.

[AUTO-OWNR-1] Triage Decision (Cycle 2)

Status: Verified

MoSCoW: Should Have
Priority: Medium

Rationale: This is a valid process improvement proposal addressing a confirmed systemic issue — 53% of open PRs are missing State/ labels, which degrades the ability of merge supervisors and implementation supervisors to filter and track work correctly. The fix is surgical (two additional label applications in pr-creator.md) with high impact on automation quality. Classified as Should Have rather than Must Have because the system continues to function without it, but the label hygiene gap is significant enough to warrant prompt attention.

Next Steps: Approve this proposal by verifying the issue (label already applied). An implementation worker should update .opencode/agents/pr-creator.md per the proposed changes: add State/In Review and Priority/ label application to step 4, and update the Rules section to reflect the new requirements. Submit as a PR for review.
