Triage a PR's review comments and failing CI (plus merge conflicts) through the /age lens, deciding which claims are worth acting on. Use when the user says "respond to PR comments", "handle review feedback", "affinage the PR", "/affinage <pr>", "fix the failing build", "resolve the conflicts and respond". Fetches inline + review-body comments via `gh` and CI failures via `affinage.pyz pr-status`, grades each through the ten age dimensions, and writes a report at `.cheese/affinage/pr-<n>.md`. Resolves merge conflicts via `/melt` and routes build/CI failures to fixes through `/cure`. When invoked standalone (no upstream `handoff_context`) it also runs `/age` over the PR diff and folds fresh findings in; when chained, it skips that pass. By default it auto-applies the recommended set via `/cure` and posts the drafted replies, gating only on sprawling/structural fixes or conflicts; `--safe` re-gates. Supports `--auto --stake <floor>`. Before `/cure`; parallel to `/age`.
