- #109900: \[Bug\]: Slack reaction trigger tuple/set values become Python repr in YAML bridge
- PR #109908: fix(gateway): serialize reaction trigger collections as CSV
- PR #109909: fix(platforms): CSV-encode tuple/set values in the shared YAML→env bridge

These items address a bug where Python tuple and set values were being serialized as their Python repr (e.g., \`('a', 'b')\`) rather than as CSV strings when passed through the YAML-to-environment-variable bridge. Fixes target both the gateway's reaction trigger collections and a shared platform-level encoding utility.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.67`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
