## Description
Auto-assign picked mergemaster for story 310 which was in 2_current/. Mergemaster should only work on stories in 4_merge/. The auto_assign_available_work function doesn't enforce that the agent's configured stage matches the pipeline stage of the story it's being assigned to. Story 279 (auto-assign respects agent stage from front matter) was supposed to fix stage matching, but the check may only apply to front-matter preferences, not the fallback assignment path. This was observed on 2026-03-19 when story 310 was moved back to backlog and restarted — mergemaster was assigned instead of a coder.
Auto-assign picks agents whose configured stage doesn't match the pipeline stage of the story. Observed multiple mismatch types:
- **Mergemaster assigned to coding-stage stories**: Story 310 was in `2_current/` but got mergemaster instead of a coder (2026-03-19)
- **Coders assigned to QA-stage stories**: Coders (stage=coder) have been observed running on stories in `3_qa/`
- **QA agents assigned to merge-stage stories**: QA agents (stage=qa) have been observed running on stories in `4_merge/`
The `auto_assign_available_work` function doesn't enforce that the agent's configured stage matches the pipeline stage of the story it's being assigned to. Story 279 (auto-assign respects agent stage from front matter) was supposed to fix stage matching, but the check may only apply to front-matter preferences, not the fallback assignment path.
## How to Reproduce
1. Move a story to 2_current/ with no agent front matter preference
1. Move a story to any pipeline stage with no agent front matter preference
2. Wait for auto_assign_available_work to run
3. Observe that mergemaster gets assigned instead of a coder agent
3. Observe that agents from the wrong stage get assigned (e.g. mergemaster to coding, coder to QA)
## Actual Result
Mergemaster was assigned to story 310 in 2_current/.
Agents are assigned to stories in pipeline stages that don't match their configured stage. Mergemaster codes, coders do QA, QA agents attempt merges.
## Expected Result
