Cleans up and prevents upgrade PRs opened during a code freeze. Use it when an agent's schedule fires during a freeze window and PRs land on a frozen branch. Key trigger: PRs opened inside the freeze dates against a protected release line. Not for: emergency hotfix PRs, which are supposed to cut through a freeze.

Fixes the agent deploying to production after its token expired mid-run and the re-login dropped the preview environment context. Use when an expired token leads to a wrong-environment deploy. Not for token rotation hygiene or deploys that fail on auth.
