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.
Currently being processed by an implementer worker.

Currently being processed by a reviewer worker.
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.
Tracking issues used by the AI Automation system for agents to communicate and report.
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.

Summary
Fixes issue #3437:
SlashCommandOverlaywas displaying command names only. Per ADR-046, the overlay must show each command with its description alongside it in aligned columns.Changes
Core Fix

Unit Tests (Behave/Gherkin):

Slash Command Overlay Renders Descriptionstest verifies end-to-end that descriptions appear in the rendered overlay using realSLASH_COMMAND_SPECSdata⚠️ Minor Observation (Non-blocking)
The Robot Framework integration test uses
unittest.mock.patchto force the fallback static base. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, mocks are only permitted in unit tests. However, this follows the existing pattern intui_smoke.robot(e.g.,TUI Help Panel Context Switchingtest also uses mock steps), so this is consistent with the established codebase pattern rather than a regression.❌ Required Changes — PR Metadata Compliance
Per CONTRIBUTING.md, the following are merge-blocking requirements:

Deep Dive: Specification Compliance & Behavior Correctness
Given special attention to the assigned focus areas:
Specification tracing: Verified the full chain from ADR-046 → issue #3437 → implementation. The ADR defines the overlay format with descriptions (§Command Extensibility shows
/claude:explain Ask Claude to explain its reasoning), the issue correctly identifies the gap, and the implementation faithfully renders the specified format.Behavioral edge cases verified:
spec.commandnot the full rendered lineNo regressions identified: The
slash_command_names()function is preserved for any other callers that need just names (e.g., completion/filtering logic elsewhere).Decision: REQUEST CHANGES 🔄 (metadata only — code quality is approved)

Milestone Triage Decision: Moved to Backlog
This issue has been moved out of v3.3.0 during aggressive milestone triage. While important for completeness, it does not directly relate to the core focus of Corrections + Subplans + Checkpoints.
Reasoning:
Will be addressed in a future milestone after core corrections, subplans, and checkpoints are stable.
