APM Issue Autopilot

APM Issue Autopilot drives any open microsoft/apm issue from raw intake to a mergeable PR with triage as the central gate. It batches issues, runs the triage panel per issue, presents one consolidated review, escalates by default, and only auto-implements clear, bounded accepts approved by the maintainer.

APM Review Panel runs a fan-out panel of specialist agents to review a labelled pull request in microsoft/apm. It aggregates findings from mandatory and conditional specialists plus a CEO synthesizer, then writes one advisory recommendation comment (no verdict labels, no merge gating). Use when a non-trivial PR needs cross-cutting recommendation on architecture, CLI logging, DevX UX, supply-chain
