Research direction

Start by reading the GitLab collection path behind the existing-login CLI bridge and the handling for PARTIAL with REQUEST_OR_TIME_CAP; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Measure native HTTP and CLI bridge overhead, then investigate safe session reuse or batching under the shared request and deadline budget. Done means complete pagination and repeated generations are qualified on a large external project, recovery from caps is checked, and incomplete coverage and approval or merge evidence remain explicit.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

A bounded external GitLab probe using the existing-login CLI bridge reached its 300-second budget after 129 requests and admitted 18 detailed MR records. Collection correctly returned PARTIAL with REQUEST_OR_TIME_CAP, but a complete large-project generation is too slow for practical shared intake.

The consumer can now explicitly select registered implementations or named changes. This is a scoped inventory and must not be presented as the complete open backlog.

Follow-up acceptance:

  • Measure native HTTP versus CLI bridge overhead without exporting credentials.
  • Reuse a safe session or batch independent reads with one shared request/deadline budget.
  • Preserve endpoint/credential cache partitioning, per-object head-race checks and explicit incomplete coverage.
  • Qualify complete pagination on a large external project, repeated generations and recovery after rate/time caps.
  • Never trade unknown approval/merge evidence for throughput.

This is a performance/adoption debt, not a correctness exception to the PARTIAL result.
