t1276: Subtask-aware queue analysis and orphan issue intake — verification

[marcusquinn]

Summary

• Add VERIFY.md entry confirming all t1276 deliverables were completed in PR t1276: Subtask-aware queue analysis, fix auto-pickup head-50 limit, orphan issue intake #2026
• All implementation work was done in feature/t1276-subtask-queue-awareness (merged as t1276: Subtask-aware queue analysis, fix auto-pickup head-50 limit, orphan issue intake #2026)

Deliverables Verified

Deliverable	Status
Fix Strategy 4 head -50 limit in cron.sh	DONE (PR #2026)
Subtask-aware queue depth in runners-check.md	DONE (PR #2026)
3 orphan TODO entries (t1277-t1279)	DONE (PR #2026)
3 stale GH issues closed (GH#1970, #1973, #2014)	DONE (all CLOSED)

Root Cause (documented)

cmd_auto_pickup() Strategy 4 used head -50 | sort -u to collect parent IDs. With 242 #auto-dispatch parents in TODO.md, open parents with subtasks (t1120, t1264) were beyond position 50 and silently skipped. Fix: removed head -50, now filters to open [ ] parents only with no arbitrary limit.

Closes #2024
