💰 Investment Recommendations

Based on today's activity, here are strategic areas worth doubling down on:

1. Automated Security Workflows 💎 - The auto-fix security alerts workflow (Add agentic workflow to auto-fix high severity code scanning alerts every 30 minutes #10005) is a game-changer. Invest in expanding this pattern to other security domains.

2. MCP Tooling Reliability 🔧 - Issues Codex agent unable to use MCP tools due to host.docker.internal DNS resolution failure #9998 and Add host.docker.internal to Codex default domains for MCP gateway access #9999 highlight MCP connectivity challenges. Improving MCP gateway reliability will unlock more workflow patterns.

3. CI/CD Pipeline Hardening 🏗️ - Multiple PRs addressing CI issues ([CI Failure Doctor] JS Test Failures - 46 Tests Failing in CI Environment (Run #29542) #9965, Add automated security scanning for GitHub Actions workflows #10042). A focused investment in CI stability will improve developer velocity.

4. Error Message Quality 📝 - PRs like Add frontmatter example to role check error message #10032 show the value of better error messages. This pays dividends in user experience.
