Refs #406: Accept backticked bounty references

[er1c-cartman]

Summary

• allow pr_queue_health to recognize Markdown inline-code bounty references such as Refs `#406`
• cover both prose references and /claim command bodies with a focused regression test

Refs #406.

Evidence

The current queue-health scanner recognizes Refs #406 and /claim #406, but it misses common Markdown inline-code variants such as Refs `#406` . That can incorrectly flag otherwise valid bounty PRs/comments as missing a bounty reference.

Validation

• PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD=1 ~/.local/bin/uv run --extra dev python -m pytest tests/test_pr_queue_health.py -q -> 10 passed
• PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD=1 ~/.local/bin/uv run --extra dev python -m pytest -q -> 415 passed
• PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD=1 ~/.local/bin/uv run --extra dev ruff check scripts/pr_queue_health.py tests/test_pr_queue_health.py -> passed
• PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD=1 ~/.local/bin/uv run --extra dev ruff format --check scripts/pr_queue_health.py tests/test_pr_queue_health.py -> 2 files already formatted
• PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD=1 ~/.local/bin/uv run --extra dev python -m mypy app scripts/pr_queue_health.py -> success
• git diff --check -> clean

Note: pytest plugin autoload is disabled because this workstation has an unrelated ROS Humble pytest plugin on the global path.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Enhanced bounty reference parsing to accept backticked reference numbers (e.g., #123), providing greater formatting flexibility when specifying bounty references in pull request titles and descriptions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updated the bounty reference regular expression in the queue health analyzer to recognize backticks around issue numbers (e.g., `#310`). Added a test case verifying that backticked references are correctly parsed and do not trigger missing-reference warnings.

Changes

Backticked bounty reference recognition

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Regex pattern and validation scripts/pr_queue_health.py, tests/test_pr_queue_health.py	BOUNTY_REF_RE now accepts optional backticks around #<digits>. A new test verifies that analyze_queue recognizes backticked bounty references (e.g., Refs \#310`and/claim `#310``) as valid.

[GHX5T-SOL]

Reviewed current head 07d39cb670c0557d4b754eb694804b92cccd869e.

No blocker found in this focused pass. The regex change is narrowly scoped to accepting optional backticks immediately around #<issue> after the existing bounty/ref/fix/close/claim prefixes, so existing plain references keep working while the common Markdown form is covered by regression tests.

Evidence checked:

• PR is open, non-draft, mergeable/CLEAN, and project CI is successful.
• CodeRabbit completed successfully with no actionable review comments.
• gh pr diff --patch and the PR files API show only scripts/pr_queue_health.py and tests/test_pr_queue_health.py.
• Existing /claim #310 coverage remains in the focused suite.
• New regression coverage verifies both a backticked Refs reference and a backticked /claim reference produce no missing-bounty warning.
