From 0845f74c27d39bda257bb7b8ffa7f97dd2ce627c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kyle Sexton <153232337+kyle-sexton@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 23:31:50 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix(work-items): trust lane-identity escalation markers and list escalated PRs escalation-marker.md now defines the trusted escalation authors once: the session's write identity, the target's merge.agent-identity, and [bot] when set. attend-queue, item-content-trust.md and the parked-decision prompt point at it. attend-queue also lists open pull requests carrying the human-gated label through the github adapter's new "List pull requests" operation, since list-items returns issues only.
