[daily issues] Daily Issues Report - 2025-12-03

[github-actions[bot]]

Today's sweep covers 1,000 issues through 2025-12-03. Closure velocity remains strong (963 closed, 3.7% open) with a 17h 9m mean resolution, while 20% of monthly inflow arrived just in the last week. Workflow/discussion follow-ups, investigation threads, and Go/pkg work make up 60% of the activity we analyzed.

Even with that throughput, 298 stale (30+ day) tickets plus 145 unlabeled and 489 unassigned items still block routing—especially around CI Doctor instability and shared workflow regressions. The activity chart shows openings cooling faster than closures after 11/19, giving a window to focus on backlog burn-down now.

No prior [daily issues] discussions were active, so none required closing this run.

📊 Full Report Details

📈 Issue Activity Trends

Daily openings and closures both peaked on 2025-11-13 (58 opened / 59 closed). Since 11-19 the 7-day moving averages have drifted downward toward ~17 issues per day, with closures still tracking slightly above openings—evidence we can dedicate more time to backlog triage without falling behind on intake.

🏷️ Issue Clusters by Theme

Workflow/discussion locks (221 issues) plus investigation follow-ups (160) continue to dominate. Go/pkg implementation tasks (156) and documentation refreshes (146) round out the top four clusters, followed by refactors, release checks, and the older patch queue.

⚠️ Issues Needing Attention

Stale Issues (No Activity 30+ Days)

• poutine support #3026 – poutine support
• [q] Q Workflow Optimization - Convert GitHub tool lists to toolsets #3018 – [q] Q Workflow Optimization - Convert GitHub tool lists to toolsets
• [tidy] Fix workflow compilation error in shared/trends.md #3007 – [tidy] Fix workflow compilation error in shared/trends.md

Unlabeled Issues

• CI Doctor is failing #5335 – CI Doctor is failing
• Safe inputs Claude #5168 – Safe inputs Claude
• [deps] Dependency parent issues #4936 – [deps] Dependency parent issues

📝 Recommendations

1. Schedule a focused stale-triage rotation to retire the oldest workflow/CI regressions (298 issues ≥30 days, including poutine support #3026/[q] Q Workflow Optimization - Convert GitHub tool lists to toolsets #3018/[tidy] Fix workflow compilation error in shared/trends.md #3007).
2. Tighten auto-labeling and assignment rules so the 145 unlabeled and 489 unassigned tickets get routed immediately, preventing CI Doctor/Safe Input failures from slipping through.
3. Bundle the high-volume workflow and Go/pkg follow-ups into weekly workstreams so we can keep the 7-day moving average below current intake while freeing time for documentation and release QA.
