Phase 6 instructed the agent to manually search for and close previous observability discussions.
However, this is already handled automatically by the `close-older-discussions: true` setting in the
safe-outputs configuration. This redundancy could cause:
- Unnecessary tool calls and processing time
- Potential conflicts if the agent tries to close already-closed discussions
- Confusion for the agent about which method to use
Fixed by:
- Removing the redundant Phase 6 instructions
- Renumbering Phase 7 to Phase 6
- Adding a note explaining the automatic closure behavior
- Recompiled workflow to generate updated .lock.yml file
The `close-older-discussions: true` setting automatically closes up to 10 older discussions
matching the same title prefix ("[observability]") with "OUTDATED" reason and a comment
linking to the new discussion.

The workflow instructed the agent to manually close previous observability discussions in Phase 6, but
close-older-discussions: truein safe-outputs already handles this automatically.Changes
Impact
Eliminates redundant GitHub API tool calls and prevents potential conflicts between manual and automatic closure mechanisms. Agent now has single, clear path for discussion management.
