The remedy isn&rsquo;t faster triage — it&rsquo;s a <strong>wave-based triage machine</strong>: batch → gate → manifest → verify → repeat.</p> <h2 id="the-burn-down">The Burn-Down</h2> <p>Yesterday the intent-os estate went from roughly <strong>973 open issues → 531</strong>. Not through a heroic all-nighter. Through three coordinated waves, each with a written close manifest and a post-close verification addendum.</p> <p>Wave 0 was the big burn: <strong>973 → 620 open</strong>. Mostly supersession closures and resolved-by-deploy cleanup, each batch landing under a committed close manifest. Fast, deterministic, auditable.</p>
