#### Bug prioritization
When selecting which bug to work on next, prioritize in the following order:
1. **P0, P1, P2 bugs**: High-priority bugs take precedence over all other bugs.
2. **Customer bugs**: Bugs with a `customer-` label are prioritized because they directly impact customers.
3. **Flaky tests**: Flaky tests impact engineering velocity and should be addressed promptly.
4. **Dogfood issues**: Bugs with the `~dogfood` label are prioritized because we have the best context for reproducing and fixing them.
5. **Oldest bugs**: Among remaining bugs, work on the oldest first.
