+- **`agent-evolution-worker` CONTRIBUTING.md Compliance** (#8370): Added pre-flight
+  duplicate-check step, mandatory `CHANGELOG.md` update, dynamic earliest-open-milestone
+  assignment (queried via Forgejo API at PR creation time — no hardcoded milestone IDs),
+  `Type/Task` label, an explicit PR compliance checklist, a concrete `curl` example
+  for querying the earliest open milestone, and an `ISSUES CLOSED: #<issue>` footer

 - **Decision Tree Full ULID Display** (#5825): The `agents plan tree` command now
   displays full 26-character ULIDs for all decisions instead of truncating them to
   8 characters. This enables users to copy decision IDs directly from tree output
