# Arborist tickets — index Arborist uses a flat `ticket-NNNNNN-.md` convention for actionable proposals: defects with a known root cause, design proposals awaiting go/no-go, or scoped enhancements queued for future implementation. ## Convention - **Filename:** `docs/tickets/ticket-NNNNNN-.md`. The ID is a six-digit zero-padded integer; the slug is hyphen-lowercase and short enough to stay readable on a 100-column terminal. - **Numbering:** monotonic, never reused. Pick the next free integer greater than every existing ticket. The current next ID is on the `Next ID` line below; bump it when you open a ticket and commit the bump in the same commit as the new ticket file. - **Header:** every ticket starts with ``` # Ticket #NNNNNN — **Status:** open · awaiting go/no-go (or "in progress", "closed") **Opened:** YYYY-MM-DD **Scope:** **Audience:** **Hard constraint:** ``` - **Body:** problem statement, design choices with trade-offs, recommendation, implementation sketch, scope boundaries, status. See `ticket-000001-retrieval-keywords-audit-gap.md` for a worked template. - **Closure:** when a ticket lands, flip Status to `closed · landed in commit ` and leave the file in place. Do not delete tickets; they are the design log. ## Distinction from other docs `docs/` also contains architecture references and bench journey notes that are NOT tickets — they describe state of the world rather than proposing change. Examples that stay un-numbered: - `cti-architecture.md` (architecture reference) - `mesh.md`, `mesh-deploy.md` (architecture + ops reference) - `qa-modes-bench-2026-04-30.md` (point-in-time bench journal) - `verifier-semantic-gap-design.md`, `self-reference-design.md` (older design docs that pre-date the ticket convention; leave as-is unless retroactively promoting one to a ticket adds value) - `concept-relations-design.md` (architecture reference for the per-shard `concept_relations` synonym/rivalry layer + the 1.6% storage-tax rationale; landed 2026-05-01) - `tool-action-dag-design.md` (research path for an action- provenance layer downstream of `final_label`. Captured pre-ticket per the 2026-05-07 arborist-vs-donto comparison; promotes to a ticket when an actual agent use case surfaces) - `warrant-substrate-cookbook.md` (architecture reference for the 18 open-licensed textbook substrates backing every claim-pack record, written 2026-05-10 after the 18/92 → 92/92 push under `#000031`. Per-pillar substrate map, ingest patterns, alias discipline, cascade tuning, honest tier breakdown.) - `calculator-test-patterns.md` (architecture reference for testing calculator / probe-style code: KAT regression, hand-computed formula assertions, monotonicity, closure / sum-of-parts invariants, parametrized invalid-input cones, CLI subprocess, doc parity, module-export shape. Codified 2026-05-10 from the three-module pattern bench across `t3_bound_calculator` / `phi_alignment_probe` / `anchor_prg`. Explicit "doesn't apply to verifier-style code" caveat.) If a doc proposes change AND awaits a decision AND has scoped implementation cost, it's a ticket. Otherwise it's reference. ## Index Newest first.
