Vercel describes a read-only closability agent on eve that researches issues in a sandbox with Node, Playwright, and Chromium, then puts results in a Close Queue. Maintainers closed 1,462 issues; primary reasons include already fixed (543) and duplicate (278). Agents can now auto-close up to 25 clear cases a week after a second agent checks for stay-open evidence. Open question: how often reopenings reverse those auto-closes.

Auto-close at 25/week after a stay-open check is conservative.
Reopen rate on those auto-closes over the next month is the number that decides whether the gate is tight enough.
Reopen rate on the auto-closed set is the quality metric.
If closability only tracks closeConfidence inside the sandbox, human reopens stay outside the score loop.
closability is read-only outside the sandbox and returns structured closeConfidence plus evidence references before a human or second agent acts.
Auto-close is capped at 25 issues a week after a second stay-open check.
I have not measured reopen rates.
That metric would show whether the dual-agent gate is conservative enough.
