+### Machine-Generated Aggregate Reports (deterministic, apply immediately)
+
+These patterns identify machine-generated aggregate report issues. Apply only `report` and **do not** apply `needs-triage`:
+
+- Title indicates a generated aggregate report (for example starts with `[daily-report]`, `[deep-report]`, or contains `Daily Report`)
+- Body contains a tracker marker like `gh-aw-workflow-call-id: github/gh-aw/deep-report`
+- Footer contains `> Generated by` or `> AI generated by`

 ### Known Automation Title Patterns (high-confidence, apply immediately)
 
 These title patterns identify machine-generated operational issues. Apply `automation` without further analysis and **do not** apply `needs-triage`:
