## 💡 Problem Statement
Since Gitlab 18.4, each issue can be flagged with a status.

## 🚀 Proposed Solution
Use the status field, instead of the scoped label: status::stage.

## 🛠 Possible Implementation (Optional)
Instead of `/label` use `/status`
Change the default merge request to a draft merge request

```
## 🚧 Work in Progress
/status "In progress"

```
