## Description

Prepare the NemoClaw morning maintainer plan: triage the backlog, select a target version, and identify release candidates and stragglers.

# NemoClaw Maintainer Morning

Start the day: triage, pick a version target, label items, share the plan.

See [PR-REVIEW-PRIORITIES.md](../nemoclaw-maintainer-day/PR-REVIEW-PRIORITIES.md) for the daily cadence and review priorities.

## Step 1: Determine Target Version and Stragglers

```bash
node --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/version-target.ts
```

This fetches tags, computes the next patch version, and finds open items still carrying older version labels. Surface stragglers first, they indicate post-tag housekeeping was interrupted or an item slipped across multiple cycles. Decide whether to relabel them to today's target or defer them out of the daily release flow.

## Step 2: Triage

Run the triage script to rank the full backlog:

```bash
node --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/triage.ts --approved-only
```

If too few results, run without `--approved-only`. The script fetches open PRs through `gh`, reads Project 199 Priority, enriches candidates with review, CI, file, and risky-area data, and applies the scoring model documented in [PR-REVIEW-PRIORITIES.md](../nemoclaw-maintainer-day/PR-REVIEW-PRIORITIES.md).

Also use `find-review-pr` to surface `security` PRs whose Project Priority is `Urgent` or `High`. Merge these into the candidate pool.

## Step 3: Label Version Targets

Present the ranked queue to the user. After they confirm which items to target, label them:

```bash
gh label create "<version>" --repo NVIDIA/NemoClaw --description "Release target" --color "1d76db" 2>/dev/null || true
gh pr edit <number> --repo NVIDIA/NemoClaw --add-label "<version>"
gh issue edit <number> --repo NVIDIA/NemoClaw --add-label "<version>"
```

## Step 4: Save State and Output the Plan

Pipe triage output into state:

```bash
node --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/triage.ts \
  | node --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/state.ts set-queue
```
