 **Applies to:** Pull Requests
 
-**Trigger:** When applied to (or re-applied to) a PR
+**Trigger:** Topology-dependent:
+
+- Consolidated consumer (`agents-81-gate-followups.yml`): the label is a recovery marker and does not trigger a retry by itself
+- Root/non-consolidated (`agents-keepalive-loop.yml`): a `pull_request:labeled` event triggers a forced retry
 
 **Effect:**
-1. Signals keepalive to force a re-dispatch of the matching runner on its next tick
-2. Removed by `agents-keepalive-loop.yml` at the top of the resulting run so the label is reusable
-3. Co-removed: any stale `agent:rate-limited` label is also removed at the same time
+1. Records that a retry was requested in both topologies
+2. Consolidated consumer: does not set `force_retry` or remove recovery labels merely by being applied
+3. Root/non-consolidated: sets `force_retry=true` and attempts to remove both `agent:retry` and `agent:rate-limited`
 
 **Prerequisites:**
 - PR has a concrete `agent:codex` or `agent:claude` label so a runner can be re-dispatched
 - PR has `agents:keepalive`
 
-**Lifecycle:** Applied by `agents-auto-pilot.yml` on dispatch failure handling, by openers/closers during quick recovery, or manually to force one keepalive re-run. Consumed and cleaned by `agents-keepalive-loop.yml`.
+**Recovery:** In a consolidated consumer, force a bounded retry by manually dispatching `agents-81-gate-followups.yml` with `pr_number=<PR>` and `force_retry=true`; after the run is confirmed, remove stale recovery labels manually if they remain. In the root/non-consolidated topology, applying `agent:retry` invokes the label handler automatically.
