Core principle

Use Backlog → Todo → Ready to implement → In progress → Done as the default board lanes. Todo queues planning. Resolve lane names in this procedure and its references through the trusted binding's verified names and option IDs; preserve existing configured names. Current column membership supplies ticket authorization; never inspect column transition history for permission, plan freshness, or a Ready handoff. Backlog is read-only: never claim, plan, triage, close epics, resume cleanup, or promote its items. Only humans move items out of Backlog. Continue automatic work only in Todo and later applicable columns, subject to ownership, dependencies, plan integrity, and the current run's operation-specific grants.

A verified ticket handoff covers in-scope local implementation, tests and repairs. The ticket lead may work solo or delegate when justified; retain one independent integrated-candidate review and reuse valid evidence under deliver-spec. Todo items that qualify for its fast path skip the planner under the Todo lane.
