Root cause of the bloat: the
Closes #N keyword bug. Merged PRs (esp. #1604) closed issues in
prose with no per-issue closes #N keyword → GitHub never auto-closed them — 19 issues sat DONE-in-code but open.
Wave 0 cleared those + 10 obsolete (29 total). Next up: Wave 1 P1 keystones (#1139, #1017, #2351, #1264, #2302), and the M76 Video descope decision (due 2026-06-30 not achievable).
