When CI has fewer CPUs than boards, one thread may process multiple
boards. The .config from the first board persists in the thread's work
directory, causing kconfig_changed_since() to return True for the next
board's first commit, triggering an extra reconfig.
Fix by forcing -T4 to ensure each board gets its own thread with an
isolated work directory.

When rebasing MRs, two CI pipelines are triggered: one for the push
and another when GitLab detects the MR source branch update. Also,
the MR title can inadvertently be changed during rebases.
Fix this by:
- Removing --run-ci flag from the push-branch command in the review
agent prompt (GitLab triggers an MR pipeline automatically)
- Adding an instruction not to update the MR title during rebases
Update the CI Pipelines documentation to reflect that all pushes
(both initial and updates) skip the push pipeline.

When commits have already been applied to the target branch via a
different path (with different hashes), cherry-picking fails with
conflicts. Pickman has no way to detect this situation, resulting
in confusing MRs and requiring manual intervention.
Add a signal mechanism so the agent can communicate this status back
to pickman. When the first cherry-pick fails with conflicts, the agent
checks if commits are already present in the target branch by matching
subjects. If all commits are found:
- The agent aborts the cherry-pick and writes a signal file
(.pickman-signal) with 'already_applied' status
- Pickman reads this signal and handles it appropriately:
- Marks commits as 'skipped' in the database
- Updates source position to advance past these commits
- Creates an MR with [skipped] prefix to record the attempt
This allows automated workflows to continue without manual intervention.

Fix two issues with push-branch:
1. Handle missing remote branch: When pushing a new branch for the
first time, the fetch to update tracking refs fails because the
branch doesn't exist on the remote yet. Handle this by catching
the fetch failure and using regular --force instead of
--force-with-lease for new branches.
2. Detect aborted cherry-picks: When the agent aborts a cherry-pick
(e.g., because commits are already applied), it may delete the
branch. Verify the branch exists after the agent runs to avoid
attempting to push a non-existent branch.

This series contains pickman enhancements and a CI fix:
- Process MRs oldest first to handle rebases chronologically
- Add --run-ci option for push-branch to trigger pipelines after rebase
- Fix force-push tracking ref issues by fetching before push

Add a --max-mrs option to the step and poll commands to allow multiple

The default is 5 MRs, allowing parallel review of multiple cherry-pick
sets while still preventing unbounded growth.

When determining the next commits to cherry-pick in get_next_commits(),
check the database and skip commits that are already tracked. This

- For each merge, get its commits and filter out those in database
- If any unprocessed commits remain, return them
- Otherwise skip to the next merge
- Finally check for remaining commits after all merges

pickman: Add a manager for cherry-picks
This series adds pickman, a tool to help manage cherry-picking commits
between branches. It's designed to automate the tedious process of
cherry-picking large numbers of commits from one branch to another,
such as when maintaining a downstream branch.
Key features:
- Track source branches and cherry-pick progress in a SQLite database
- Find commits to cherry-pick up to the next merge commit
- Use Claude AI agent to automate cherry-picks with conflict resolution
- Create GitLab merge requests for review
- Handle MR review comments automatically
- Poll for continuous automated cherry-picking
The tool integrates with GitLab for MR management and uses the Claude
Agent SDK for automated cherry-picking and conflict resolution.
This tool is *very* experimental (so don't use it yourself!), but should
become usable sometime in the new year.
