+## 🤖 AI Summary
+
+# Pulse summary — last **7 days**
+
+### Overall
+
+Activity is steady but response cadence is slow, with a **~58‑day** average close time
+and only one issue closed this week. Momentum is concentrated in roadmap planning and v2
+reliability fixes, while **15** issues remain open and risk stagnation.
+
+### Trends & focus
+
+- New issues (7) outpace closures, keeping the backlog elevated and **stale** labels
+  dominant.
+- Heavy focus on v2 microservice stability, cross‑tokenizer distillation, and
+  reward/aggregation configurability.
+- Core bugs cluster on NCCL/DTensor deadlocks, HF chat‑template token desync, and
+  rollout‑capacity bypasses (#1439, #1366, #1481).
+- Contributors are engaged (9 unique authors) but reviews and merges lag behind design
+  discussions.
+
+### Recommendations
+
+- Triage and close truly stale roadmap items to reduce noise and focus effort.
+- Prioritize fixes for rollout capacity, reward normalization footguns, and SDPA logp
+  corruption to unblock stable training.
+- Set service‑level targets (e.g., first response < 72 h, close easy bugs within 2
+  weeks) and assign owners to high‑impact bugs.
