Add weekly status issue draft for 2026-02-10

[dlq]

Motivation

• Provide an upbeat, ready-to-post weekly status report as a GitHub issue summarizing recent repository activity, progress, project status, recommendations, and actionable next steps while handling limited API access.

Description

• Add weekly-issues-report-2026-02-10.md containing sections for Team Momentum, Recent Repository Activity, Progress & Goal Reminders, Project Status, Recommendations, and Actionable Next Steps.
• Ground the report in local git history because live GitHub API queries were blocked from this environment (HTTP 403), and explicitly document that limitation in the report.
• Include a note offering to convert the content into a reusable issue template at .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/weekly-status-report.md in a follow-up.

Testing

• Inspected recent commit volume with git rev-list --count --since='30 days ago' HEAD and git rev-list --count --since='7 days ago' HEAD which returned counts for the report.
• Enumerated recent contributors with git log --since='30 days ago' --pretty='%an' | sort -u which returned the active contributor list used in the report.
• Verified the GitHub API was inaccessible from this environment using curl -I -s https://api.github.com, which returned HTTP 403 and caused the report to rely on local history.
• Validated the file was created and non-empty with wc -l weekly-issues-report-2026-02-10.md and git status --short, confirming the new report file presence.
