+* **guard:** exempt manage_task status polling from loop guard and expedite routine failure pruning ([#305](https://github.com/juliendurandeu/jonah-fleet/issues/305)) ([d6e5670](https://github.com/juliendurandeu/jonah-fleet/commit/d6e567029016d4bebaaab8d517ce1daea60b5a3c))

+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Features
+
+* **guard:** exempt `manage_task` status and list polling from action repetition and ping-pong circuit breaker trips in `run-with-loop-guard.js`.
+* **housekeeping:** close `status:failure` routine log issues immediately (0-hour delay) if target is already closed or merged, and lower untargeted runner crash threshold to 12 hours.
+* **autowork:** update Step 9 idle sweep to close resolved-target failures immediately and untargeted crashes after 12 hours.

-* **guard:** execute routine GitHub Actions workflows via run-with-loop-guard wrapper script ([#227](https://github.com/juliendurandeu/jonah-fleet/issues/227))
-* **orchestration:** adopt 4-part human escalation card in peer-review routine on round-5 escalation ([#235](https://github.com/juliendurandeu/jonah-fleet/issues/235))
-* **orchestration:** add Routine Run Failure Ingestion & Auto-Closure Protocol to `ORCHESTRATION.md`, unifying prior failure memory and resolution lifecycle across `autowork` and `peer-review`.
-* **prompts:** add Dynamic Target Binding in Scan mode to `autowork.md` and `peer-review.md`, dynamically updating `$ROUTINE_ISSUE_NUMBER` titles with `(Issue #N)` or `(PR #M)` upon claiming so crashed runs are never anonymous.
-* **prompts:** add Prior Failure Ingestion Protocol to `autowork.md` and `peer-review.md`, inspecting past open failed routine issues to extract error logs and crash milestones before implementation or review.
-* **prompts:** add resolution-triggered auto-closure to `autowork.md` and `peer-review.md`, automatically commenting on and closing past failed routine issues for a target once work is marked ready or merged.
-* **housekeeping:** expand `issues-housekeeping.md` to sweep and close stale untargeted `status:failure` routine issues older than 48 hours or whose targets are resolved, eliminating backlog clutter.
-* **autowork:** add opportunistic operational log sweep (idle GC) to Step 9 in `autowork.md`, cleaning up stale untargeted failures when the issue backlog is clear.
