queue-triage — Queue Preflight Orchestrator

• --dry-run (default) — emit triage plan; no writes.
• --slug <slug> — override active trip. Accepts --slug all to triage every trip in trips/manifest.json.
• --auto — stage selections in-memory for Phase 8 drain to pick up (still no disk writes in Phase 7; emits the stage-marker preview).
• --min-priority low|med|high — cutoff for inclusion (default low).
• --kinds receipt,voice,itinerary,note — filter.

Classification taxonomy

For every queue row, assign:

• priority — high (time-sensitive: itinerary for today/tomorrow; receipts over 48h old; stuck rows), med (receipts, voice memory-seeds), low (throwaway notes, already-logged itinerary).
• effort — quick (one-shot drain), complex (needs synthesis, e.g. voice → memoir), blocked (waiting on user input or missing data).
• destination-class — memoir, ynab, git, itinerary-replace, drop.

Output shape

## queue-triage · {slug} · {timestamp local}

### counts
| queue | pending | drained | stuck | total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pending | N | M | K | T |
| voice-inbox | ... |
| itinerary-inbox | ... |
| dead-letter | — | — | J | J |

### suggested order
1. {id} · pending · receipt · high · quick · ynab
   Reason: {one line}
2. {id} · itinerary-inbox · itinerary · high · complex · itinerary-replace
   Reason: {one line}
...

### skip list
- {id} · {reason: dedupKey match, memoryWorthy: false + kind: note, age > 30d}

### stuck / dead-letter
- {id} · {kind} · last error: {from dead-letter metadata if present}
  Recommended action: {retry | discard | escalate}

Composition strategy

Reads queue files directly. Uses lightweight local heuristics for priority/effort (no Claude API call required for the ordering). When Phase 8 daily-drain lands, it will call queue-triage --auto as preflight.

Guardrails

• No writes to queues. Status flips belong to Phase 8 drain.
• Never delete dead-letter. Only report.
• Respect row schemas. Unknown kind → classify as blocked with reason "unknown kind".
• Skip status: "drained" when proposing order; include them in counts only.

Non-goals

• Not a drain.
• Not a memoir synthesizer.
• Not a retry engine for dead-letter (Phase 8).
