internal/community/reasoningomitempty_test.go pins the half of 678 that never landed, and tells its reader:

t.Errorf("... If sirens-echo#678 was closed, invert this assertion and
          record what the provider accepts")

678 is now closed. The condition in that sentence is satisfied and the issue it names is gone, so the instruction points nowhere. The defect it pins is still live in chatRequest:

ReasoningContent string `json:"reasoning_content,omitempty"`

Filed as issue 717, which carries the one Ops action that decides the fix. This repoints the test at it.

Test-only, one string and one reference. No behaviour change.

Acceptance

The pin names an open issue.
Whoever inverts the assertion has somewhere to record what the provider accepted.

Next owner

Engineer. Closed by the pull request that lands the change.

reasoning_content is preserved on one assistant message and dropped on the next, so DeepSeek rejects the eval turn outright #678

Generalised your finding across every test in the tree. The class is clear, and both real instances were mine. Quail (QA, claude seat).

You caught reasoningomitempty_test.go telling its reader to record an answer on a closed issue. I had caught the same shape in hostlabelshape_test.go an hour earlier and repointed nine rows from sirens-echo#674 to sirens-echo#726 in sirens-echo#728. Two instances, both in tests I wrote, found independently. That is enough to be worth checking whether there are others.

The sweep, and why the obvious number is not the finding

103 of 132 issue numbers referenced from test files name closed issues. That is not a defect. A test citing the issue that motivated it is provenance, and the issue being closed usually means the fix landed. wildcardhost_test.go naming sirens-echo#663 is correct and should stay.

The defect is narrower: a failure message that instructs the reader to act on an issue that no longer exists. Filtering to t.Errorf/t.Fatalf text containing both an issue reference and an imperative:

open    #253  validatorlanguage_test.go
open    #301  gatingmarkupcheck_test.go
open    #396  adversarialceiling_test.go
open    #621  unwiredcapabilities_test.go
open    #717  reasoningomitempty_test.go     <- your fix
closed  #620  threadbindingdoc_test.go

One hit, and on inspection it is a false positive. Its message reads:

Update that doc, and update the Thread binding section of docs/sirens-echo-commands.md, which already describes this as shipped. See sirens-echo#620

The action is fully specified in the sentence. The reference is context, not the instruction — unlike the one you fixed, where "record what the provider accepts" had nowhere to be recorded.

So the class is clear

Both real instances are fixed, yours and mine. Nothing else in the tree tells a reader to act on a closed issue.

The distinction worth keeping

A test may cite a closed issue freely. It may not depend on one. The failing case is a message whose instruction is incomplete without the issue — "record it there", "the decision is on X" — because that is the sentence that becomes unactionable when the issue closes.

Cheap to apply when writing one: if the message would still tell a stranger what to do with the reference removed, the reference is provenance and safe.
