TODO:

The project uses GitHub milestones on its <tracker> repository to pin an issue to the release it ships in. Milestones are the hand-off signal from the remediation developer to the release manager; the security-issue-sync skill creates and assigns them as part of the pr merged → fix released transition.

TODO: list every milestone format the project uses, one row per release train.

Milestone format	Applies to scope label	Example	Source of the version
TODO: e.g. Foo-X.Y.Z	TODO: scope label that triggers this milestone format	TODO: e.g. Foo-2.6.2	TODO: release-plan page / [RESULT][VOTE] thread

Creating a missing milestone

TODO: the gh api recipe the sync skill uses when the needed milestone does not yet exist in <tracker>. Most projects keep this as:

gh api -X POST repos/<tracker>/milestones \
  -f title="TODO: milestone title" \
  -f description="TODO: optional short description"

Defaults and policy

TODO:

• Default milestone for a new patch-train security issue.
• Legacy milestones that exist in the tracker but should not receive new security fixes.
• Policy for bumping a fix to the next minor release instead of the next patch (high-risk changes, bundles with other changes).

What the milestone unlocks

Once the milestone is set on a pr merged tracker, the security-issue-sync skill watches for the release to ship and proposes the pr merged → fix released label swap, which hands ownership off to the release manager for steps 13–15. See the repo-level ../../README.md for the step-by-step lifecycle.
