Committed as the foundation. +3. **TDD implementation** (v0.12.0): `gitea.py` label APIs; `patchwatch.py` taxonomy + (`all_label_names` derived from `issue_labels`) + `ensure_repo_labels`/`ensure_labels` + + `label_status`; CLI `ensure-labels [--all]`, `config doctor --patchwatch-labels`, + deploy-time best-effort hook; belt-and-suspenders marker-based dedup. 502 → 506. +4. **Code review** (high effort, 3 finder agents): caught a real dedup-regression + (unfiltered `list_issues` had no pagination → duplicates beyond 50), an `--all` + abort-on-first-token-gap, a `.status` contract gap, and dead-code/duplication. + Fixed all TDD-first (extracted a shared `_get_paginated`; resilient `--all`; wired + `label_specs` into production; centralized result wording).
