[EPIC] IaC Workflow — Eliminate Stale PR Race Conditions

Context

RCA from April 11, 2026: 12 stale PRs accumulated because Rockachopa and the [claude] auto-bot raced on the same issues. The auto-bot merged first (1-3 min), orphaning the manual PRs. No reaper cleaned them up. .gitignore gaps and path confusion compounded the problem.

Root Causes

  1. No issue locking — two actors pick up the same ticket simultaneously
  2. Auto-merge without deconfliction — nexus-merge-bot.sh merges [claude] PRs in minutes; the other PR rots
  3. No stale PR reaper — conflicted PRs accumulate silently
  4. Incomplete .gitignore — __pycache__ only covered at specific paths, not recursively
  5. No path convention enforcement — PR #1243 created mnemosyne/ at root while canon is nexus/mnemosyne/

Deliverables

  • #1249 — Fix .gitignore + purge cached .pyc files
  • #1250 — Stale PR closer script (cron or webhook)
  • #1251 — Declarative FEATURES.yaml manifest for Mnemosyne
  • #1252 — Issue assignment-as-lock convention doc
  • #1253 — Branch protection / rebase-before-merge policy

Acceptance Criteria

  • Zero __pycache__ artifacts in the repo tree
  • Stale PRs auto-close within 24h with a comment linking the superseding PR
  • FEATURES.yaml is the single source of truth for Mnemosyne module state
  • CONTRIBUTING.md documents the assignment-lock workflow
  • All future PRs must be rebased before merge
