# Issue tracker: Gitea

Issues and specs for this repo live in Gitea at `https://git.bongbetic.com/xavierk/voculinux`. Use the `tea` CLI for all operations.

Run `tea logins list` first. If no login exists for `git.bongbetic.com`, add one with `tea logins add`. When working outside a checkout whose remote points at Gitea, pass `--repo xavierk/voculinux --login <name>` explicitly.

## Conventions

- **Create an issue**: `tea issues create --repo xavierk/voculinux --title "..." --description "..."`. Use `--description-file -` with a heredoc for multi-line bodies. Add `--labels "..."` to triage at creation.
- **Read an issue**: `tea issues <index> --repo xavierk/voculinux --fields index,title,state,author,labels,assignees,milestone,body,comments`.
- **List issues**: `tea issues list --repo xavierk/voculinux --state open --fields index,title,state,author,labels --limit 30`, with `--labels`, `--author`, `--assignee`, or `--keyword` filters. Use `-o json` for machine-readable output.
- **Comment on an issue**: `tea comments add <index> "..." --repo xavierk/voculinux`.
- **Apply / remove labels**: `tea issues edit <index> --repo xavierk/voculinux --add-labels "..."` / `--remove-labels "..."`.
- **Close**: `tea issues close <index> --repo xavierk/voculinux`. Reopen with `tea issues reopen <index>`.
- **Manage labels**: `tea labels list --repo xavierk/voculinux`. Create missing triage labels with `tea labels create`.

## Pull requests as a triage surface

## Wayfinding operations

Used by `/wayfinder`. The **map** is a single issue with **child** issues as tickets.

- **Map**: a single issue labelled `wayfinder:map`, holding the Notes / Decisions-so-far / Fog body.
- **Child ticket**: an issue with `Part of #<map-index>` at the top of its body. Labels: `wayfinder:<type>` (`research`/`prototype`/`grilling`/`task`). Once claimed, assign it to the driving dev with `tea issues edit <index> --add-assignees <user>`.
- **Blocking**: a `Blocked by: #<n>, #<n>` line at the top of the child body. A ticket is unblocked when every blocker is closed.
- **Frontier query**: list the map's open children, drop any with an open blocker or an assignee; first in map order wins.
- **Claim**: `tea issues edit <n> --add-assignees <user>`, the session's first write.
- **Resolve**: `tea comments add <n> "<answer>"`, then `tea issues close <n>`, then append a context pointer to the map's Decisions-so-far.
