A new Take step labels each issue in analysis before the agent touches it and comments once with the session, the planned branch and the register task; the first change in the sidetree swaps the label to in progress, and an issue dropped or handed on loses its label with a comment saying why. Missing labels are created once with a colour and a description, as kvb-git-pr-label does for hotfix and 90/5. The label shows the claim to people and agents beyond this machine's council.
