Controller deferred this PR; awaiting Phase 6+ scope-evaluator or operator re-enablement.
Auto-agents controller manages this PR/issue (see tools/controller/deploy/RUNBOOK.md). Remove this label to abandon controller management.
PR blocked by an open issue dependency. Operator must close the dep (or remove the dependency link) before the merge driver can act. Auto-cleared by merge_drive when no open deps remain.
Most recent merge cycle hit CI timeout. Driver excludes this PR while last merge_cycle row is < 30 min old; label persists thereafter as visible history.

Merge driver heartbeat stale; pipeline halted. Closed automatically on next clean tick.
Detected master commit violating the strict merge invariant. Tracked as an issue (not a PR label); kept here for label completeness.
In-cycle escalation: most recent attempt ran at the Tier 0 slot (`tier-0`). Slot's model defined in .opencode/models/tiers.yaml.
In-cycle escalation: most recent attempt ran at the Tier 1 slot (`tier-1`). Slot's model defined in .opencode/models/tiers.yaml.
In-cycle escalation: most recent attempt ran at the Tier 2 slot (`tier-2`). Slot's model defined in .opencode/models/tiers.yaml. Gated behind IMPLEMENTER_ESCALATION_TIER2_ENABLED.
In-cycle escalation: most recent attempt ran at the Tier -1 slot (`tier-min`). Slot's model defined in .opencode/models/tiers.yaml. Suffix is ``-min`` (not ``--1``) so the Forgejo UI reads naturally.

Rebase conflict needs LLM conflict-resolver.
Failing CI needs implementer attention.
Documenting a driver incident or rollback.
Reviewer has APPROVED this PR and no later REQUEST_CHANGES is outstanding. The merge driver requires this label to even consider a PR for merging. Set by the reviewer worker on APPROVE; cleared on REQUEST_CHANGES.
Train repeatedly lost master-tempo races. Driver excludes via merge_cycle until cooldown elapses; label persists as visible history.
Revert PR backing out an invariant violation. Fast-tracked through the merge driver.
Sentinel PR duplicated from upstream into a personal fork by tools/duplicate_prs_to_fork.py for pipeline testing. Lives only in the fork; the canonical pipeline never sees it.
No implementer activity for N days. Flagged for human review. Auto-cleared on next push to head branch.
Repeatedly fails on current master (>= 3 ci-fail-on-rebased-sha releases in 12 h). Excluded from driver until human triage.

Fixes multiple bugs in the Behave step definitions for RelevanceScoringStrategy: - Use context.strategy_fragments and context.strategy_budget (not context.fragments/context.budget) - Store assemble result in context.strategy_result (not context.result_fragments) - Store can_handle result in context.confidence (not context.strategy_confidence) - Fix step pattern for can_handle with query to use quoted string "{query}" - Fix step pattern for explain to use quoted string "{text}" - Fix register_strategy call to pass name and strategy (not just strategy) - Add RelevanceScoringStrategy to top-level imports - Add proper type annotations to all new step functionsImplementation Attempt — Tier 1: haiku — Success

(check
no_duplicates, categoryno_duplicates)PR #10665 implements RelevanceScoringStrategy, a multi-factor context file selection approach combining semantic similarity, recency, and importance scoring. Reviewed 397 open PRs and found no duplicate: related context-strategy PRs implement semantic chunking, priority scoring, sliding window, and adaptive selection—all distinct approaches. The relevance-scoring strategy combining these three factors is unique to this PR.
📋 Estimate: tier 1.
Multi-file feature: new RelevanceScoringStrategy class implementing ContextStrategy protocol (scoring by embedding similarity + recency + importance), new Behave feature file with comprehensive scenarios, 3 files +390/-19 LOC. Cross-file integration with ContextAssembler/ScopeChainResolver. CI failures are almost entirely Docker pull rate-limit infrastructure failures (not code issues); only real code failure is a ruff format violation on context_strategies.py — trivially fixable. Standard non-trivial feature work with new logic branches and new test coverage.

(check
no_duplicates, categoryno_duplicates)PR #10665 implements RelevanceScoringStrategy (multi-factor: semantic similarity + recency + importance) for context file selection. Strong topical overlap exists with #10618 (semantic context search using embeddings), but they appear to be complementary strategies within the v3.6.0 multi-strategy architecture. PR #10590 defines the ContextStrategy protocol, #10619 implements adaptive selection/fusion, and #10671 tests "advanced context strategies" (plural), confirming multiple coexisting strategies are expected. The anchor fills a distinct niche (multi-factor relevance scoring) and is not a duplicate.
📋 Estimate: tier 1.
New feature adding RelevanceScoringStrategy implementing ContextStrategy protocol. 3 files, +378/-15 lines. Introduces a multi-factor scoring algorithm (semantic similarity + recency + importance weighting) with configurable weights via YAML policy. Requires cross-file understanding of ContextStrategy protocol, ContextAssembler, and ScopeChainResolver integration. New Behave feature file with comprehensive BDD tests. CI failures are all infrastructure-related (GHES cache unsupported, artifact upload EPERM errors) — integration_tests actually passed ("integration_tests: OK") and quality session was "successful"; no code-quality failures in the logs. Standard non-trivial multi-file feature work with new logic branches and test additions — solidly tier 1.
