Created 3 test issues:
- #193: Stripe integration (should FAIL capability check)
- #194: Health monitoring (should trigger task decomposition)
- #196: Manager list API (should detect as duplicate of #133)

Updated testing metrics dashboard to track progress.

* Add Phase 3 integration plan with testing cycle for Manager-Database

Phase 3: Pre-Agent Intelligence (4 capabilities)
- 3A: Capability Check - supplements agents:optimize with feasibility gate
  - Runs BEFORE agent assignment on Issues (not after)
  - Adds needs-human label when agent cannot proceed
- 3B: Task Decomposition - auto-split large issues
- 3C: Duplicate Detection - comment-only mode, track false positives
- 3D: Semantic Labeling - auto-suggest/apply labels

Testing Plan:
- Test repo: Manager-Database
- ~11 test issues across 4 capabilities
- False positive tracking for dedup (target: <5%)
- Metrics dashboard for validation

Also updates:
- Mark Collab-Admin PR #113 as merged (7/7 repos now synced)
- All immediate tasks completed
- Phase 3 ready to begin

Created 3 test issues:
- #193: Stripe integration (should FAIL capability check)
- #194: Health monitoring (should trigger task decomposition)
- #196: Manager list API (should detect as duplicate of #133)

Updated testing metrics dashboard to track progress.

* Add Phase 4: Full Automation & Cleanup plan

Phase 4 includes 5 initiatives:
- 4A: Label Cleanup - Remove bloat labels, standardize across 7 repos
- 4B: User Guide - Operational documentation for label system (sync to consumers)
- 4C: Auto-Pilot Label - End-to-end issue-to-merged-PR automation
- 4D: Conflict Resolution - Automated merge conflict handling in keepalive
- 4E: Verify-to-Issue - Create follow-up issues from verification feedback

Key decisions:
- Auto-pilot uses workflow_dispatch between steps (not chained labels)
- Conflict detection added to keepalive loop (not separate workflow)
- Verify-to-issue is user-triggered (not automatic, avoids false positives)

Also identifies 7 additional automation opportunities for future phases.

Testing plan defined for Manager-Database.

* Correct label analysis after codebase search + expand Phase 5

Label Analysis Corrections:
- agents:pause/paused ARE functional (keepalive_gate.js, keepalive-runner.js)
- agents:activated IS functional (agents_pr_meta_keepalive.js)
- from:codex/copilot ARE functional (merge_manager.js)
- automerge IS functional (merge_manager.js, agents_belt_scan.js)
- agents (bare) IS functional (agent_task.yml template)
- risk:low, ci:green, codex-ready ARE functional (merge_manager.js, issue templates)

Only 5-6 labels confirmed as bloat:
- codex (bare) - redundant with agent:codex
- ai:agent - zero matches
- auto-merge-audit - zero matches
- automerge:ok - zero matches
- architecture, backend, cli, etc. - repo-specific, not synced

Phase 5 Analysis:
- 5A: Auto-labeling - label_matcher.py EXISTS, ready for workflow
- 5B: Coverage check - maint-coverage-guard.yml EXISTS, add soft PR check
- 5C: Stale PR cleanup - not needed
- 5D: Dependabot - partial (auto-label exists, add auto-merge)
- 5E: Issue lint - soft warning approach
- 5F: Cross-repo linking - weekly scan with semantic_matcher.py
- 5G: Metrics - hybrid LangSmith (LLM) + custom (workflow)

* Consolidate agents:pause to agents:paused + expand Phase 4-5 plans

Label consolidation:
- Replace agents:pause with agents:paused in all source files
- Update keepalive_gate.js PAUSE_LABEL constant
- Update keepalive_orchestrator_gate_runner.js hardcoded check
- Update test to use agents:paused
- Update documentation in README, CLAUDE.md, GoalsAndPlumbing.md

Phase 4 updates:
- 4A: Add idiosyncratic repo bloat cleanup strategy (per-repo audit)
- 4B: Add optional issue creation feature to user guide (deferred)
- 4D: Full conflict resolution implementation with code examples
- 4E: Complete verify-to-issue workflow implementation

Phase 5 updates:
- 5F: Marked as SKIPPED (not needed per user decision)
- 5G: Full LangSmith integration plan + custom metrics

All keepalive tests pass (8/8).

   - Improve f-string formatting for logging
   - Add usage comment for LANGSMITH_ENABLED constant

2. .github/scripts/conflict_detector.js:

   - The test used --user pip install flag which fails in virtualenvs
   - Added _in_virtualenv() helper to detect virtualenv environment
   - Only use --user flag when NOT in a virtualenv

2. Add new workflows to expected names mapping
   - agents-auto-label.yml: 'Auto-Label Issues'
   - agents-verify-to-issue.yml: 'Create Issue from Verification'

3. Update workflow documentation
   - docs/ci/WORKFLOWS.md: Added bullet points for new workflows

- agents-decompose.yml: Task decomposition for large issues
- agents-dedup.yml: Duplicate detection using embeddings
- agents-auto-label.yml: Semantic label matching

Also includes:
- agents-verify-to-issue.yml: Create follow-up issues from verification (Phase 4E)
- Updated sync-manifest.yml with all new workflow entries
- pr_verifier.py: Auth error fallback for LLM provider resilience
- Tests for fallback behavior

All Phase 3 scripts have 129 tests passing.

* docs: Add comprehensive Phase 3 testing plan

- Mark all Phase 3 implementation tasks as complete
- Add detailed test suite with 12 specific test cases:
  - Suite A: Capability Check (3 tests)
  - Suite B: Task Decomposition (3 tests)
  - Suite C: Duplicate Detection (4 tests)
  - Suite D: Auto-Label (2 tests)
- Include pre-testing checklist and execution tracking table
- Add rollback plan and success criteria
- Include sample issue bodies for reproducible tests

* docs: Add deployment verification plan for cross-repo testing

Addresses known issue: verify:compare works on Travel-Plan-Permission
but fails on Trend_Model_Project PR #4249.

New deployment verification plan includes:
- Phase 1: Sync deployment tracking across all 7 repos
- Phase 2: Existing workflow verification (investigate failures)
- Phase 3: New workflow verification with specific test cases
- Phase 4: Troubleshooting guide for common issues
- Cross-repo verification summary with minimum pass criteria

Separates deployment verification from functional regression testing.

* docs: Resolve verify:compare investigation - PR not merged (expected behavior)

Investigation findings for Trend_Model_Project PR #4249:
- Root cause: PR is OPEN, not merged
- Verifier correctly skipped (designed for merged PRs only)
- verify:* labels missing in most repos (only Travel-Plan-Permission has them)
- Added label prerequisite checklist to deployment plan
- Updated verification summary with resolved status
