+# Bug 150: qa-2 agent never auto-assigned because pipeline_stage only matches exact qa
+
+## Description
+
+server/src/agents.rs line 154: pipeline_stage() matches qa exactly but qa-2 falls through to Other. Fix: change line 156 from exact match to starts_with, same as coders:
+
+Current:
+  qa => PipelineStage::Qa,
+
+Fix:
+  name if name.starts_with(qa) => PipelineStage::Qa,
+
+Also update the test at line 3542 to cover qa-2.
+
+## How to Reproduce
+
+1. Have multiple items in 3_qa/
+2. qa agent gets assigned to one
+3. qa-2 never gets assigned to the others
+
+## Actual Result
+
+qa-2 is never auto-assigned. pipeline_stage(qa-2) returns PipelineStage::Other instead of PipelineStage::Qa.
+
+## Expected Result
+
+qa-2 should be recognized as a QA agent and auto-assigned to items in 3_qa/.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Bug is fixed and verified
