openhands 2fd18b086d feat: gardener prioritizes blocker issues that starve the factory
Adds PRIORITY_blockers_starving_factory detection: scans backlog issues'
deps, finds any that are open but not labeled backlog, and puts them
at the top of the Claude prompt as highest priority for promotion.

Previously, gardener promoted random tech-debt issues while the actual
blockers (e.g. #650, #563, #714, #743) were ignored, leaving all
backlog items permanently stuck.

# gardener-poll.sh — Issue backlog grooming agent
#
# Cron: daily (or 2x/day). Reads open issues, detects problems, invokes
# claude -p to fix or escalate.
#
# Problems detected (bash, zero tokens):
# - Duplicate titles / overlapping scope
# - Missing acceptance criteria
# - Missing dependencies (references other issues but no dep link)
# - Oversized issues (too many acceptance criteria or change files)
# - Stale issues (no activity > 14 days, still open)
# - Closed issues with open dependents still referencing them
#
# Actions taken (claude -p):
# - Close duplicates with cross-reference comment
# - Add acceptance criteria template
# - Set dependency labels
# - Split oversized issues (create sub-issues, close parent)
# - Escalate decisions to human via openclaw system event
#
# Escalation format (compact, decision-ready):
# 🌱 Issue Gardener — N items need attention
# 1. #123 "title" — duplicate of #456? (a) close #123 (b) close #456 (c) merge scope
# 2. #789 "title" — needs decision: (a) backlog (b) wontfix (c) split into X,Y

- Relabel: \`curl -sf -H \"Authorization: token \$CODEBERG_TOKEN\" -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' '${CODEBERG_API}/issues/{number}/labels' -d '{\"labels\":[LABEL_ID]}'\`
- Comment: \`curl -sf -H \"Authorization: token \$CODEBERG_TOKEN\" -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' '${CODEBERG_API}/issues/{number}/comments' -d '{\"body\":\"...\"}'\`
- Close: \`curl -sf -H \"Authorization: token \$CODEBERG_TOKEN\" -X PATCH -H 'Content-Type: application/json' '${CODEBERG_API}/issues/{number}' -d '{\"state\":\"closed\"}'\`
- Edit body: \`curl -sf -H \"Authorization: token \$CODEBERG_TOKEN\" -X PATCH -H 'Content-Type: application/json' '${CODEBERG_API}/issues/{number}' -d '{\"body\":\"new body\"}'\`
- List labels: \`curl -sf -H \"Authorization: token \$CODEBERG_TOKEN\" '${CODEBERG_API}/labels'\` (to find label IDs)
- NEVER echo, log, or include the actual token value in any output — always reference \$CODEBERG_TOKEN
- You're running in the project repo root. Read README.md and any docs/ files before making decisions.
## Primary mission: unblock the factory
Issues prefixed with PRIORITY_blockers_starving_factory are your TOP priority. These are non-backlog issues that block existing backlog items — the dev-agent is completely starved until these are promoted. Process ALL of them before touching regular tech-debt.
## Secondary mission: promote tech-debt → backlog
Most open issues are raw review-bot findings labeled \`tech-debt\`. Convert them into well-structured \`backlog\` items the dev-agent can execute. For each tech-debt issue:
1. Read the issue body + referenced source files to understand the real problem
2. Check AGENTS.md (and sub-directory AGENTS.md files) for architecture context
3. Add missing sections: \`## Affected files\`, \`## Acceptance criteria\` (checkboxes, max 5), \`## Dependencies\`
4. If the issue is clear and actionable → relabel: remove \`tech-debt\`, add \`backlog\`
5. If scope is ambiguous or needs a design decision → ESCALATE with options
6. If superseded by a merged PR or another issue → close with explanation
Process up to 10 tech-debt issues per run (stay within API rate limits).
## Other rules
1. **Duplicates**: If confident (>80% overlap + same scope after reading bodies), close the newer one with a comment referencing the older. If unsure, ESCALATE.
2. **Thin issues** (non-tech-debt): Add acceptance criteria. Read the body first.
3. **Stale issues**: If clearly superseded or no longer relevant, close with explanation. If unclear, ESCALATE.
4. **Oversized issues**: If >5 acceptance criteria touching different files/concerns, ESCALATE with suggested split.
5. **Dependencies**: If an issue references another that must land first, add a \`## Dependencies\n- #NNN\` section if missing.
6. **Sibling issues**: When creating multiple issues from the same source (PR review, code audit), NEVER add bidirectional dependencies between them. Siblings are independent work items, not parent/child. Use \`## Related\n- #NNN (sibling)\` for cross-references between siblings — NOT \`## Dependencies\`. The dev-poll \`get_deps()\` parser only reads \`## Dependencies\` / \`## Depends on\` / \`## Blocked by\` headers, so \`## Related\` is safely ignored. Bidirectional deps create permanent deadlocks that stall the entire factory.
## Escalation format
For anything needing human decision, output EXACTLY this format (one block, all items):
\`\`\`
ESCALATE
1. #NNN \"title\" — reason (a) option1 (b) option2 (c) option3
2. #NNN \"title\" — reason (a) option1 (b) option2
\`\`\`
## Output format (MANDATORY — the script parses these exact prefixes)
- After EVERY action you take, print exactly: ACTION: <description>
- For issues needing human decision, output EXACTLY:
ESCALATE
1. #NNN \"title\" — reason (a) option1 (b) option2
- If truly nothing to do, print: CLEAN
## Important
- You MUST process the tech_debt_promotion items listed above. Read each issue, add acceptance criteria + affected files, then relabel to backlog.
- If an issue is ambiguous or needs a design decision, ESCALATE it — don't skip it silently.
- Every tech-debt issue in the list above should result in either an ACTION (promoted) or an ESCALATE (needs decision). Never skip silently.
