Issue #658 Verification

Status: ✅ ALREADY IMPLEMENTED ON MAIN

Issue #658 is a dated triage report snapshot (27 Open PRs on 2026-04-14), but the repo-side capability it asked for already exists on main today.

The current mainline implementation is stronger than the original static report:

• scripts/pr_backlog_triage.py provides reusable PR backlog analysis for one repo or an entire org
• scripts/pr-backlog-triage.py preserves the original hyphenated CLI entrypoint for the earlier workflow
• scripts/pr-triage-automation.py extends the same lane into automation / optional cleanup behavior
• tests/test_pr_backlog_triage.py locks the categorization, duplicate detection, stale-reference detection, and report formatting behavior

Mainline evidence

Files already present on main in a fresh clone:

• scripts/pr_backlog_triage.py
• scripts/pr-backlog-triage.py
• scripts/pr-triage-automation.py
• tests/test_pr_backlog_triage.py

What the implementation already does:

• categorizes open PRs by type
• detects duplicate PRs by shared issue references
• detects stale PRs that reference closed issues
• emits markdown / JSON triage output
• supports org-wide or repo-scoped backlog analysis

Historical trail

• PR #763 (feat: PR backlog triage script + 9 duplicate PRs closed (#658)) was closed unmerged
• the exact requested branch name fix/658 still exists remotely from that earlier pass
• despite that closed unmerged PR state, the backlog-triage capability is already on main today through the current maintained scripts and tests

Fresh verification on current main

Commands run from the fresh clone:

• pytest -q tests/test_pr_backlog_triage.py
• python3 -m py_compile scripts/pr_backlog_triage.py scripts/pr-backlog-triage.py scripts/pr-triage-automation.py
• python3 scripts/pr_backlog_triage.py Timmy_Foundation/timmy-config --json

Observed results:

• targeted test suite passed (25 passed)
• the three PR-triage entrypoints compiled cleanly
• live smoke output reported the current repo state as 26 open PRs (the issue body's 27 open PRs snapshot is now stale)
• live smoke output also reported zero current duplicate PRs and zero current stale PRs

Why this issue should close

Issue #658 describes a backlog-analysis need. That need is already satisfied on main by the reusable triage tooling listed above. The remaining gap is not missing code in timmy-config; it is only that the original dated issue body still reflects the old 2026-04-14 snapshot instead of the current live repo state.

Recommendation

Close issue #658 as already implemented on main. This verification PR only records the evidence trail cleanly so the stale issue can be resolved without regenerating duplicate backlog-analysis tooling.
