+"""Generate Triage-2026-10-29.json from the frozen inbox seed.
+
+Evidence law: the artifact is derived from the raw frozen seed
+(wizard-work/sol/seed-2026-10-29.json), never hand-authored. Each pending item
+is classified by reading its stated evidence against a fixed keyword rubric:
+
+  archive_fix: evidence names a concrete defect in a published artifact
+               (hero copy, funding table, leaderboard cache, export filter,
+               readme env vars).
+  app_pr:      evidence is a release-publishing action.
+  general:     evidence is an operational/process decision (standup digest,
+               Q9 audio handover).
+
+  approve:     the seed's proposed_action is an "Approve:" instruction.
+  table:       operational workflow decision (not a code fix, not a PR).
+
+Exit 0 on success; writes the artifact to the repo copy and to
+/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/sol/Triage-2026-10-29.json.
