perf: cache comment router label lookups

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -28,6 +28,8 @@ checkpoint, and status-only commits are intentionally omitted.
 - Fixed live worker scheduling to filter GitHub Actions runs through supported
   `workflowName` JSON fields instead of silently falling back to zero active
   workers when `gh run list --workflow` is unavailable.
+- Cached comment-router open-label issue lookups per run so repair-loop comment
+  discovery and command synthesis do not repeat identical GitHub searches.
 - Retried Codex edit workers after TPM/rate-limit exits and collapsed JSONL failure transcripts into concise repair status reasons.
 - Added deterministic merged closing-PR provenance to issue close reports and
   public close comments when GitHub exposes a high-confidence closing PR.
