-1. Check for existing marker (author-filtered — a third party posting the marker must not suppress the post):
-   - Fetch viewer login: `gh api user --jq '.login'` → store as VIEWER_LOGIN
-   - `gh issue view {TRACKING_ISSUE} --json comments --jq '[.comments[] | select(.author.login == "'"$VIEWER_LOGIN"'")] | .[].body'`
-   - Search for `<!-- devflow:wave-report wave:{WAVE_ID} -->` in viewer-authored comment bodies only
-   - If found: skip — report `Skipped: wave report for {WAVE_ID} already posted`
-{{steps.wave_report_read_step()}}
-3. Compose the comment body:
-   ```markdown
-   <!-- devflow:wave-report wave:{WAVE_ID} -->
-   {contents of WAVE_REPORT_PATH}
-   ```
-   Cap the composed body at 60000 characters; if larger, truncate and end with
-   `…truncated — full report in the local wave artifact {WAVE_REPORT_PATH} (not committed; ask the author)`.
-4. Write composed body to `$DEVFLOW_BODY_RAW`; apply the Comment-sink scrub (D11) and post via `gh issue comment {TRACKING_ISSUE} --body-file "$DEVFLOW_BODY"`.

 5. Gate each candidate against that provider's grammar, full match and anchored at both ends. Where the grammar is `KEY-N`, its KEY must equal the resolved project key after ASCII-upper normalisation; a well-formed reference carrying another key is dropped and reported once as `TRACEABILITY: DEGRADED (foreign issue reference {ref})`. Deduplicate the SURVIVORS — after the gate, never before — then take the first ≤50, appending `…and {n} more issues` if more exist. A `Merge pull request` subject and a trailing parenthesised reference carry no keyword and are never candidates; an empty `SHIPPED_ISSUES` is reported empty, not degraded, unless the Mechanics flag merged PRs they could not resolve.
