## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A task that fails shows a banner with a Retry button. The user
clicks Retry to run the task again.
> - Self-hosted boards also show a "You completed 5 tasks! Star on
GitHub" modal (#20453).
> - The modal can open on the task page while the task shows its Retry
banner.
> - The modal is a Radix dialog. It sets `aria-hidden="true"` on the
rest of the page and sets `pointer-events: none` on the body. The Retry
button is visible, but a click does not reach it and assistive
technology cannot find it.
> - This pull request makes the star prompt wait for a calm moment. It
does not open on a task or agent chat page, and it does not open while a
task Retry or status banner is on screen.
> - The benefit is that a visible Retry is always reachable.

**What happened?**
A restart chaos run left a task in the failed state with the Retry
banner. The "You completed 5 tasks!" star modal opened over the same
page. The Retry button was in the DOM and visible. Playwright
`getByRole('button', { name: 'Retry' })` did not find it, because the
modal had set `aria-hidden="true"` on the banner. The body also had
`pointer-events: none`, so a user click on Retry did not reach the
button.
**Expected behavior**
A promotional prompt never covers a task that needs the user. A visible
Retry is always reachable.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. On a self-hosted instance, finish five tasks in one company. Do not
open the star prompt before.
2. Let a sixth task fail so that it shows "Couldn't finish this attempt"
with Retry.
3. Open that task. The star modal opens over the Retry banner.

## What Changed
- `GitHubStarPrompt` waits while the location is one task
(`/:prefix/issues/:ref`) or one agent chat (`/:prefix/chats/:agent`).
Task list views (`issues/all`, `issues/done`, and so on) do not count as
one task.
- `GitHubStarPrompt` waits while a task Retry
(`data-testid="task-execution-retry"`) or a task status banner
(`role="status"` with `aria-label="Task status"`) is on screen. It uses
the same DOM observer that already waits for other dialogs.
- If the prompt is open and the user goes back to a task or chat page,
or a task Retry or status banner appears, the prompt closes.
- `useModalOpen` in `AnnouncementWell.tsx` takes an optional selector.
The default is the existing modal selector, so other callers do not
change.
- New tests in `GitHubStarPrompt.test.tsx`: the prompt stays closed
while a Retry banner is on screen and the banner is not `aria-hidden`;
the prompt stays closed on a task and a chat page and opens on the task
list. The prompt closes when the user goes back to a task, and when a
Retry appears.
## Verification
- Red first: the two new tests failed on master. A temporary probe in
the red run showed the prompt open, the banner with
`aria-hidden="true"`, and `document.body.style.pointerEvents ===
"none"`.
- Green: `cd ui && npx vitest run
src/components/GitHubStarPrompt.test.tsx
src/components/BoardDialogs.test.tsx` passes.
- `pnpm verify` passes (481 UI test files).
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: all gates clean.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p ui`: no errors in the changed files.
## Risks
- Low risk. The prompt can show later than before, because it waits for
a non-task page. It still shows only once per browser.
- The "seen" marker is written only when the prompt opens, so a user who
stays on task pages does not lose the prompt.
