Plain tickets

A ticket name is read in a list, cold, months later, with nothing else open. That is the whole budget. Everything here follows from it.

The three names, and their different jobs

One ticket carries three names. They are not the same length and not the same job.

Name	Length	Job
File slug	2–4 words after the number	Sort and find it on disk. `new-07-fix-missing-column.md`
Board name	3–7 words, one clause	Point at the thing, in a list of thirty. `Split Missing into loss and lacking`
H1	one line, may add a clause after an em dash	Name the thing, then say what the change is. Body carries mechanics like endpoint moves and regen order — the H1 does not need to.

Mechanics — how it ships, what it breaks, who rebases — go in the body. Never in the name.
