🐛 dashboard: overview under-reports total open issues

[clubanderson]

Root cause

The Overview KPI labelled Total open issues was not using the raw repo totals from the server status payload. In renderOverviewKPIs, it summed the Overview issue chart slices:

• issue chart slices are built only from repo.actionableIssues + repo.heldIssues
• they do not include issues that enumeration counted in repo.issues but intentionally kept out of agent-visible lists, such as hard human-gated labels, exempt/meta items, standing meta issues, and other filtered items
• the server already records KPI history from FrontendRepo.Issues / FrontendRepo.PRs, so the current browser value and server history could disagree

Governor numbers are different by design:

• ACTIONABLE ISSUES is status.actionableNow.issues, derived from repo.actionableIssues after excluding waiting/done/blocked/draft bands.
• ON HOLD is status.hold.total, issues and PRs carrying hold labels.

So the dashboard was mixing a subset label with a total label. PRs happened to look right for the reported fleet because its filtered/hidden PR bucket was empty or small; the same frontend bug existed for PR totals too.

Current hivecommons/hive issue bucket check

Using the requested gh issue list shape against the current 39 open hive issues and applying the code paths in pkg/github/client.go + pkg/dashboard/bands.go:

Bucket	Count	Issues
Held (hold / on-hold / hold/review)	10	#10639, #10635, #10524, #10515, #10457, #9846, #9735, #9701, #9700, #9699
Hard human-gated (needs-human, needs-direction, needs-decision, needs-spec)	2	#10595, #10527
Exempt/meta (meta-tracker etc.)	1	#7563
Standing meta issue	1	#2364
Tracked ready	2	#10626, #10537
Tracked in-progress/claimed	7	#10641, #10625, #10599, #10598, #10597, #10591, #10590
Tracked waiting	3	#10643, #10574, #10042
Tracked done/covered	13	#10629, #10627, #10623, #10610, #10609, #10605, #10603, #10600, #10596, #10552, #10526, #10516, #10509
Total	39

The old KPI counted chart-visible tracked+held items, not all 39 raw open issues.

Fix

• Make the Overview Total open issues KPI sum per-repo raw issue totals (issues, with old-field fallbacks) instead of issue chart slices.
• Make the Overview Total open PRs KPI use per-repo raw PR totals (prs) for consistency.
• Keep the Governor actionable/held tiles and Overview charts unchanged; those remain subset views.
• Update tooltip copy so the KPI honestly says it includes held, waiting, done, filtered, and human-gated work.
• Extend existing KPI coverage so a fixture with held/subset lists still asserts the total comes from the raw all-open count.

Validation

• gofmt -l src/pkg/dashboard/overview_kpi_sparklines_test.go returned no files.
• Per AGENTS.md, did not run local go test, go vet, or citation guards; CI is the validation source for this repo.
