"""Assistive issue-triage agent — local simulation of a triage bot.
Stands in for a forge-native triage agent (triggered when an issue opens) without a hosted account.
It assembles the prompt, then validates and renders the AI's suggestion — and stops at a human
confirm. The agent proposes labels and a route; it does not apply them.
python triage.py prompt # taxonomy + issue -> prompt for the agent
python triage.py apply ai-triage.sample.json # validate + render + confirm gate
The validation step matters: the agent may only use labels that exist in label-taxonomy.md. A
hallucinated label is rejected. Stdlib only — no pip install.
