   This was generated by AI during triage.

   Verified: already implemented

   Default branch: 30e97ed (fix present)
   Open linked PRs: none (#7762, Refs: #7741, merged as d2647ed, which is in main)

   Both "Done when" items are met on the default branch:

   • The lane now reads trusted owner decision comments before choosing Closes or Refs. fix(work-items): let trusted decision comments settle the issue lane's open questions #7762 writes trusted comments into the issue file the lane reads and marks a human's **Decision recorded.** comment as a decision (.github/scripts/work-resolve-issue/write-issue.mjs:7-8, :35); /work-items:work CI mode lets a decision settle the matching open question and sets "link": "refs" for a keep-Refs decision; the outcome reporter opens the PR with Refs: #<n> instead of Closes #<n> when it does (report-outcome.mjs:483-494).
   • fix(review): explain-change artifact medium should look up repo visibility itself #6951 was reopened on the owner's decision (2026-10-17), as its latest comment records.

   Checked by reading the code path, not by a live lane run; the next lane run on an issue with a keep-Refs decision is the end-to-end check.

   Recommended: close as completed by #7762. This triage pass was not authorized to close issues, so needs-human stays on for the owner to close it.
