The maintenance redesign (#3 of tonights three). The dedup was skip-if-OPEN -- right for work tickets, wrong for the human-judgment maint-triage lane: a CLOSED (dismissed) maint-triage got re-filed every ISO week (joshing.you#81).

Dismissals stick: maint_findings_fingerprint -- a stable, order-independent hash of the RAW judgment-finding keys (advisory ID / package / package@major). maint_file_deduped_issue gains an optional fingerprint arg; with it, dedup checks open AND closed marked issues and skips on a match (dismissed stays quiet), while a new/changed finding-set still surfaces. Without it, work tickets keep skip-if-open unchanged (they must re-audit fresh after a merge).
Routing: maint-triage is fingerprinted and routed by validation -- agent=true (grind works-or-judges) for VALIDATED repos, agent=false (human, assigned) for unvalidated. With dismiss-sticks, the agents closes stick.

Verified: bash -n clean, test-maint-fp 11/11, check-sync green. Recovered after an orchestration mistake on my end (I ran two forks against one working tree); this is the clean verified diff, re-committed on its own branch. v1 limit: the lookup inherits state=all&limit=50 (pagination is the hardening). No reviewer.

The dedup was skip-if-OPEN -- right for work tickets (re-audit fresh after a merge)
but wrong for the human-judgment maint-triage lane: a CLOSED (dismissed) maint-triage
got re-filed every ISO week (joshing.you#81).

- maint_findings_fingerprint (lib/maintenance-checks.sh): a stable, order-independent
  SHA-256 over the RAW judgment-finding keys (advisory ID / package / package@major),
  normalized (lowercase/trim/drop-blanks/sort -u). maint_fp_marker stamps the
  <!-- maint-fp:HASH --> marker into the ticket body.
- maint_file_deduped_issue gains an optional fingerprint arg: with it, dedup queries
  open AND closed marked issues and skips on a matching fingerprint -- a dismissed
  (closed) finding-set stays quiet, a NEW/changed one still surfaces. Without it, the
  existing skip-if-open is untouched (correct for work tickets).
- maint-triage fingerprints its finding-set and routes by validation: agent=true
  (Agent-labeled, grind works it) for VALIDATED repos, agent=false (human, assigned)
  for unvalidated. With dismiss-sticks, the agent's closes now stick.

v1 limit: the lookup inherits state=all&limit=50; a dismissed maint-triage older than
a repo's 50 most-recent issues could be missed (pagination is the hardening).

CI for 9e07a064: success

Summary: Adds a stable, order-independent fingerprint over maint-triage judgment keys so a dismissed (closed) finding-set stops getting re-filed weekly, and routes triage tickets to the agent for validated repos. Code is clean, in scope (~130 lines), and CI is green. A couple of things I can't fully verify from the diff push this below an APPROVE.

What's good:

Tight, focused change. No CI-config touches, no secrets, no new injection surface (keys are hashed, not interpolated into commands).
The fallback design is sound: when m_fp is empty (missing/empty keys file), maint_file_deduped_issue falls back to the unchanged skip-if-open path. Work tickets (no fp arg) are genuinely untouched.
maint_findings_fingerprint correctly normalizes case/whitespace/order/blank-lines and returns empty (rc 0) on missing file or absent sha256sum.
The old work-ticket branch explicitly checked .state == "open", which is good in-diff evidence that forgejo_find_marked_issue already returns issues of any state — so the fp branch dropping that filter to match open-OR-closed is internally consistent.

Things a human should confirm before merge:

Test-count claim doesn't match the file. The description says "test-maint-fp 11/11", but bin/test-maint-fp.sh contains 10 eq/ne assertions, not 11. Combined with the description's admission of an orchestration mistake ("I ran two forks against one working tree"), this raises the question of whether the committed test file is exactly the artifact that was verified. CI is green so the committed version passes, but please reconcile the count (it should read 10/10) and confirm this is the verified diff.
The closed-issue match is tested against a reimplemented predicate, not the real function. The "open/closed match" test rebuilds the jq predicate inline with a comment asserting it's "Same jq predicate forgejo_find_marked_issue uses (… state=all)". It never calls forgejo_find_marked_issue itself. So the entire dismiss-sticks behavior hinges on that function actually fetching state=all — which isn't in this diff. The existing .state=="open" check is reassuring, but the test gives false confidence here; it would pass even if the real function only returned open issues.
$validated provenance. The routing change passes "$validated" as the agent-bool (was hardcoded false). Its definition isn't in the diff; please confirm it's a "true"/"false" string in scope at that point, since a wrong/empty value silently flips human-vs-agent routing.

Minor design note (non-blocking): With fingerprint dedup, if findings change while a prior triage ticket is still open, a new ticket is filed without closing the old one — so multiple open triage tickets can accumulate as findings evolve. That appears intended ("a genuinely-new finding-set still surfaces"), but worth a conscious confirmation.

Nothing here is a clear blocking defect, but the test-count mismatch (against the backdrop of the admitted orchestration mess) and the un-exercised real-function path mean I can't approve with full confidence — handing to the human to verify.
