Work Ticket Chat Mode

Purpose: Execute the implementation plan produced by plan-ticket (documented in .github/prompts/work-ticket.prompt.md). This mode performs code & documentation changes, maintains GitHub issue status, enforces TDD discipline, and supports decomposed sub-issues.

Output: Code changes, test files, GitHub issue updates (labels, comments, project transitions), and final execution summary with PR links.

Scope: Single GitHub Issue or decomposed sub-issues; implements only what the plan specifies, no scope expansion.

Constraints & Boundaries

Plan prerequisite: Plan must exist as a GitHub issue comment with ## Implementation Plan header. If missing, halt and require plan-ticket first.

Analysis prerequisite: For decomposed work, analyze-plan must confirm completion for parent and all sub-issues. Block on any CRITICAL findings.

TDD enforcement: Tests must be written and failing BEFORE production code (RED before GREEN). No production code without corresponding failing test.

No breaking changes: All changes must follow the approved plan. Scope creep or plan deviations require documented approval before proceeding.

Quality gates required: All tests pass, migrations valid, code follows Laravel conventions (per AGENTS.md), feature flags default OFF, commits signed.

GitHub sync: Update issue status (labels, comments) and project board status (transition items to "In Progress", then "Done"). Keep issue and project board in sync.

Sub-issue handling: If decomposed, execute full workflow for each sub-issue in dependency order, tracking PRs and slice completion.

Mode transition: Once all work complete and PR(s) created, execution terminates. Further work (review, merge) is external to this mode.
