This series contains three groups of improvements to pickman:

Refactoring (patches 1-8): Clean up the codebase by splitting large
functions into smaller helpers, adding test coverage for
prepare_apply(), extracting a run_agent_collect() helper to remove
duplicated agent-streaming code, and switching to
tools.read/write_file() for file I/O.

Subtree handling (patches 9-10): Teach pickman to detect and handle
dts/upstream subtree merges, and process subtree updates even when the
maximum number of MRs is reached.

Pipeline fixes (patches 11-16): Add infrastructure and logic for
automatically diagnosing and fixing CI pipeline failures using a Claude
agent, including GitLab API helpers, database tracking, null-byte
stripping in job logs, and a retry/comment system.
