Fleet reporting convention: queue task IDs and GitHub issue numbers collide — always prefix

Problem (encountered 2026-10-26)

Queue task IDs and GitHub issue numbers are both bare integers in the
same conversations, and they have started colliding: tonight queue
task 1233 (a code fix) and issue #1233 (epic(fleet)) were live
at the same time, and the operator's own delivery had to stop and
disambiguate. Shift reports, monitor summaries, and sweep.log lines
mix the two namespaces ("task 1175 merged" vs "#1131") with only
convention keeping them straight — and the convention slips (several
of tonight's shift reports needed parent-side reconstruction partly
because of it).

Fix (small)

Make the namespaces self-describing everywhere the fleet writes:

Queue tasks are always rendered task <id> (never a bare number,
never #<id>); GitHub issues/PRs are always #<n>.
Sweep.log, shift reports, monitor summaries, tracker, and the
repo-queue helper's own output follow the same rule.
The worker instruction and lifecycle protocol state the rule once,
with the collision as the worked example.

Acceptance criteria

The rule is written into the worker instruction + lifecycle
protocol.
A spot-check of one day of sweep.log + shift reports shows no
bare queue-task numbers.
repo-queue.py output prefixes task ids consistently (or the
issue records why the helper is exempt).

Child of epic #1233. Filed by Muse (operator) 2026-10-26.

Spot-check — task 4650 (2026-11-05, lane code-j)

Read-only rolling 24-hour audit: 2026-11-05T00:30Z–2026-11-06T00:30Z. I scanned the rotated/active sweep-log segments covering the window (sweep-2026-11-04-2235-archive.log, sweep-2026-11-05-0612-archive.log, sweep-archive-2026-11-05.log, sweep-2026-11-05-1812-archive.log, sweep-2026-11-05-2012-archive.log, and sweep.log), deduped to 1,397 unique timestamped lines in the window.

Using the same conservative task-list scan as the 2026-11-03 and 2026-11-04 audits (plural tasks <id>, <id>, … / task <id>/<id> constructions where every ID after the first is unprefixed), the window contains 52 records with 639 unprefixed queue-task IDs. Examples: the 2026-11-05T00:32Z repo-fleet-monitor line lists 23 task IDs after a single tasks prefix; lane shift summaries use task 9221/9225/9292-style slash lists. Prefixed task <id> mentions in the same window: 3,129 — the convention is widely used, but list constructions still drop the prefix.

Acceptance status for issue #1274:

Criterion 1 (rule in both docs): VERIFIED fresh — worker instruction §9 and lifecycle protocol §2 both carry the rule with the task 1233 vs issue epic(fleet): queue fleet reliability — lane workers for every queue, certified shift reporting #1233 worked example.
Criterion 2 (clean one-day spot-check): FAILS again — 52 records / 639 unprefixed task IDs in this window.
Criterion 3 (helper-output disposition): VERIFIED fresh — the field-labelled structured-JSON exemption is recorded in both docs.

Issue #1274 stays OPEN. Task 4650 is parked 24 hours; resume by re-auditing the next full-day sample and close only if it is clean.

Task: Re-audit reporting-prefix adoption after the convention was verified in both docs.
State: Parked 24 hours. Acceptance 2 fails again: 52 sweep-log records in the 2026-11-05T00:30Z–2026-11-06T00:30Z window contain 639 unprefixed task IDs in plural task lists; audit detail in the spot-check comment above (comment 6673314997). Acceptance 1 and 3 verified fresh.
Resume: Re-audit the next full-day report sample and close task 4650 / issue Fleet reporting convention: queue task IDs and GitHub issue numbers collide — always prefix #1274 only if the sample is clean.
