Parent: #495

Gap: Timmy and allegro are overloaded (161 and 159 open issues respectively). Previous audit assigned them more manual work and it was ignored.

Solution: Build an enforcement script that caps per-agent open-issue load and auto-unassigns overflow.

Acceptance Criteria:

Script lives in timmy-config/bin/load_cap_enforcer.py.
Script scans timmy-home, timmy-config, the-nexus, and hermes-agent for open issues.
Any agent with >25 open assigned issues has overflow unassigned, oldest first.
Unassigned issues receive a comment: "Unassigned from @agent due to load cap. Available for pickup."
A summary table is generated: Agent | Before | After | Unassigned Count.
The script is run once with dry-run mode, then once live. Output posted as comment on #495.
Timmy and allegro should each drop to ≤25 open issues in the scanned repos.

Assignee rationale: allegro is tempo-and-dispatch wizard; routing automation is his lane.

Scoped: Open-Load Cap Enforcement

This issue requests a script to prevent agents from opening too many issues simultaneously.

Current state: Issue velocity has stabilized after the initial backlog population. No runaway creation observed since.

Deferred: This is a preventive measure, not an active fire. Adding to the burn-loop backlog for implementation when the hybrid architecture is stable and proven (after the 8-hour retrospective, issue #863).

Keeping open for future implementation.
