[github-actions[bot]]

Daily report for the last 1,000 issues shows a very low open backlog (2.1%) despite heavy intake in the last month. The dominant theme is error/bug-related work, largely driven by automated smoke test issues. Documentation and feature/request themes are the next largest clusters, while workflow and MCP-specific items remain small but distinct.

Activity over the last 30 days remains steady with recent spikes in new issues, but closures appear to be keeping pace. Triage gaps are visible in 88 unlabeled issues and 286 unassigned issues, suggesting automation opportunities for labeling/assignment.

📝 Recommendations

1. Apply automated labeling for smoke-test issues to reduce the unlabeled queue.
2. Triage stale CI/plan items for closure or reprioritization to keep backlog lean.
3. Split bug/error cluster analysis by automation vs. human-reported issues for clearer signal.
