Summary

• Enhance the axon-triage TaskSpawner prompt to complete the full triage lifecycle instead of stopping at classification
• Add priority assessment (priority/imporant-soon, priority/import-longterm, priority/backlog) with clear criteria
• Add actor recommendation (actor/axon vs needs-actor) with explicit criteria for what Axon can and cannot handle autonomously
• Update label management to swap needs-triage → triage-accepted and clean up needs-priority/needs-actor labels
• Preserve axon/needs-input as the human review gate — maintainer can override any recommendation before approving

Before: Triage agent classifies (kind/*) and checks validity, then stops. Maintainer must manually assess priority, assign actor, and update 3-4 labels per issue. 30 issues currently sit in this bottleneck.

After: Triage agent completes all label operations. Maintainer reviews the triage comment (now includes priority + actor justification) and removes axon/needs-input to approve — a single operation instead of 5.

Test plan

• Verify YAML is valid (kubectl apply --dry-run=client -f self-development/axon-triage.yaml)
• Deploy and observe triage output on a few issues to validate priority/actor recommendations
• Confirm axon/needs-input still blocks worker pickup (safety gate preserved)

Closes #437

Summary by cubic

Expands the axon-triage agent to complete the full triage lifecycle (classify, validate, set priority, recommend actor, comment, and labels). Maintainers now only approve by removing axon/needs-input.

• New Features
  • Adds priority assessment with three levels and applies the label (removes needs-priority).
  • Recommends actor; applies actor/axon or leaves needs-actor using clear criteria.
  • Posts one triage comment with kind, priority, actor, status, rationale, and recommendation.
  • Swaps needs-triage to triage-accepted and cleans up labels.
  • Keeps axon/needs-input as the review gate to block worker pickup until approval.
