Parent issues created

None — all identified relationships mapped to existing parent issues; no orphan cluster of 5+ unparented issues met the bar for a new parent.

Suggested (not linked — for maintainer review)

• [agent-issue]: Agents cannot supply work-item fields; custom-fields is compile-time only, so runtime-computed values never reach ADO #2044 and [agent-issue]: support declarative Azure DevOps pipeline variables in workflow source #2012 (declarative ADO pipeline variables / runtime custom-fields) look related to each other and possibly to [Parent] Track agent runtime and execution pipeline improvements #1649, but scope overlap wasn't unambiguous enough to link with confidence.
• [aw] Issue Arborist hit AI credits rate limit #1765-area docs issues (docs: conclusion job token reference omits SC_WRITE_TOKEN #1766, docs(prompts): use repo-relative paths instead of hardcoded absolute checkout paths #1763, docs: fix AGENTS.md accuracy — add trigger-e2e to ado-script tree and export-fact-catalog to CLI index #1583, docs(site): refresh IR typed-helper docs to builder-struct API #1192) share a "docs drift" theme but are only 4 issues — below the 5+ cluster threshold for a new parent, and no existing docs parent issue was found.
• debug: Noop smoke pipeline fails to pull non-existent ghcr.io/github/gh-aw-mcpg:v0.3.7 (manifest unknown) #621 (MCPG image pull failure) could plausibly belong under [Parent] MCPG infrastructure and safe-output tooling improvements #1321 (MCPG infra) but is scoped to a specific smoke pipeline rather than MCPG infra broadly — left unlinked.
• 🔴 Red Team Audit — High: Shell injection via runtimes.lean.toolchain #855 (shell injection in runtimes.lean.toolchain) and chore(security): minimize AWF agent environment and mask unused gh CLI #1818 (minimize AWF agent env) are both security-themed but don't share a common parent issue in this backlog; only 2 issues, below cluster threshold.

Observations

• Existing parent issues ([Parent] Compiler internals and pipeline generation improvements (IR types, YAML gen, prompt decoupling) #1286, [Parent] MCPG infrastructure and safe-output tooling improvements #1321, [Parent] Safe-output executor E2E test coverage and tool correctness #1428, [Parent] Track agent runtime and execution pipeline improvements #1649, [Parent] Track and act on upstream dependency release-note action items (awf, mcpg, copilot-cli) #1283, [Parent] Track self-optimization design follow-ups (extracted from #1061) #2076) already provide good top-level tracking scaffolding; this run mostly filled in newly-created child issues that hadn't yet been attached.
• No cluster of 5+ genuinely unparented issues was found this run, so no new parent issues were created.
• Several [deps-release-notes] and chore(workflows): recompile safe-output fixtures issues are routine automation-generated issues and were treated as low-priority for restructuring.
