Killing Sprag should be actually optional every time

I know it was changed so the Defeat Sprag objective wouldn't show up every week on Junk Ru, but whenever Genestamps appears as an objective, she's not hard required, but she's soft required. There's at least 5 spots for Genestamps to spawn past her, plus another spot for a caged Ostron.

My suggestion is the following:

In this video, you can see there's a clear opening in a nearby building that holds our good friend Invisible Wall. If that wall wasn't there, even with a closed door and the other side had a hole or door, she would be skippable, so we could get to the other side without fighting her, kinda like it was on Veilbreaker release. Also, slightly reducing the size of her activation hitbox would be optimal as well.

It's a fun fight, don't get me wrong, but it takes a lot of time, even with a Kuva Ayanga, since you have to double back on yourself if you want to fight her with the extra firepower.

If you're interested in saving time, for now you can ignore her and do a second run for the tags. You don't need to actually complete the mission once you get a Cred objective, you can just abort as soon as you get the last one (same as Nightwave and other challenges).

(Edit: Though yes, being able to skip her would be nice. Maybe you investigate her hammer and she jumps in or something.)

Being able to skip Sprag would be nice. You can already skip the other one that spawns in the Sentient tileset. This fight is annoying and if she isn't an objective she shouldn't be gating other objectives.

I agree it's a bit hit or miss; I'll usually bypass Sprag and see if enough of the other objectives spawn without her. If not, well at least I've got a full squad and a big gun to back for her!

As @Leqesai says - we can ignore Ven'kra Tel by not picking up the sniper rifle; something like that for Sprag would be welcome.
