Establish the exact business state for “Mirror priority GitHub issues onto the board.”: create a ticket for issue 4407, 4424, 4430, 4434, 4444, 4448. Coordinate the linked records for “Mirror priority GitHub issues onto the board.”: tell #eng that these issues now have tickets; close ticket ENG-2803 once the work is done. Keep “Mirror priority GitHub issues onto the board.” contained to its supported records and service boundary: do not copy issues outside the filter; fabricate no records or evidence; preserve every frozen out-of-scope record; introduce no hardcoded credentials.

Choose the branch for “Mirror priority GitHub issues onto the board.” that can legitimately produce this business state: create a ticket for issue 4407, 4424, 4430, 4434, 4444, 4448. Reject a stale-record shortcut, an unsupported hold, and any broader workaround. Compare three concrete, linked readiness options for “Mirror priority GitHub issues onto the board.” through engineering-portfolio automation: standard capacity finishes 2026-03-08 at USD 0; expedited capacity finishes 2026-03-05 at USD 900; releasing reserved capacity finishes 2026-03-03 at USD 1600 but requires approval beyond CHG-37. Recommend expedite_capacity, record its 2026-03-05 outcome and +0-day variance, and report ON_TIME honestly.

Leave the employee-facing conclusion for “Mirror priority GitHub issues onto the board.” with the exact supported insight: write a natural scoped completion note, not a keyword list or serialized benchmark object; state the selected option (expedite_capacity) in the scoped completion handoff; state the outcome date (2026-03-05) in the scoped completion handoff; state the approval reference (CHG-37) in the scoped completion handoff; state the timing status (ON_TIME) in the scoped completion handoff; state the binding constraint (CloudCap expedited capacity on 2026-03-04) in the scoped completion handoff. Close “Mirror priority GitHub issues onto the board.” only after the business state and readbacks are complete: close ENG-2803 only once the work is done, not before.

Mirror priority GitHub issues onto the board.

Build the causal case for “Mirror priority GitHub issues onto the board.”: first resolve the same work across the authoritative Jira work item, the cross-tracker link registry, and the linked GitHub issue population; then use the operating-control index and the exact control revision to select the effective rule over the retired shortcut; reconcile ownership, approval, and reported context through the case-room conversation, the linked planning tracker, and the PagerDuty change-event history; finally test the competing explanation against the linked GitHub issue population, the current Jira population, the current work-item population, and the cross-tracker link registry. All 20 exact causal facts must be present inside the 26-read investigation before they support this outcome: create a ticket for issue 4407, 4424, 4430, 4434, 4444, 4448. Preserve this additional control: read the system of record rather than working from memory. Prove that the same outcome for “Mirror priority GitHub issues onto the board.” is deliverable through engineering-portfolio automation, using scattered records: 2 healthy replicas per zone across 3 zones means 6 required; 7 observed less 2 reserved for analytics-worker leaves 5 usable and a 1-replica gap. Reconcile that gap with CloudCap's 2026-03-06 standard and 2026-03-04 expedited deliveries, the published change windows, and the independent 2026-03-05 customer date.

Prove the observable result for “Mirror priority GitHub issues onto the board.” after the transition: reopen the current work-item population (api-gateway), the case-room conversation, and the employee work item and confirm the persisted result. After the last guarded transition for “Mirror priority GitHub issues onto the board.”, reopen the current work-item population (api-gateway), the case-room conversation, and the employee work item, then reopen the completion conversation so persistence and communication are both proven.

Prompt: Mirror priority GitHub issues onto the board. Every OPEN issue carrying the 'priority' label needs a matching ticket in our own tracker so it appears on the board. Create one ticket per such issue, citing the issue number it came from in the description. Issues that are closed, or that lack the label, must not be copied. Tell #eng once they are mirrored, so nobody picks one up twice. The next owner needs this settled across tracker identity, status, ownership, duplicate control, and communication to the teams acting on the resulting population. Treat duplicate, stale, and in-flight records carefully, make only the scoped update, and verify that the intended population changed. The requesting team expects the result through engineering portfolio automation by 2026-03-05. Leave one independently checkable recommendation with its completion date, incremental cost, approval basis, binding constraint, and rejected alternative.

Standard CloudCap delivery 2026-03-06 reaches the 2026-03-08 window at USD 0. Standard delivery only reaches the 2026-03-08 window, 3 day(s) after expedite_capacity, and would land 3 day(s) after the cutover; it is authorised but inferior.

Expedited CloudCap delivery 2026-03-04 reaches the 2026-03-05 window for USD 900. Expedited CloudCap delivery on 2026-03-04 lands in the 2026-03-05 change window, on the 2026-03-05 cutover date, keeps the 2 reserved replicas untouched, and carries the documented incremental cost of USD 900.

Releasing the 2 replicas reserved for the analytics-worker freeze covers the gap today but needs approval beyond CHG-37. Releasing the 2 replicas reserved for the analytics-worker freeze would cover the 1-replica gap today, but it breaks a reservation another team depends on, needs incident-commander approval beyond CHG-37, and adds the USD 1600 re-provisioning charge.

Answer: 6

Treated Highest as above High, so both count; Medium and Low do not.

Required 8 = 2 per zone x 4 zones from the readiness standard and the PagerDuty scale record; usable 6 = 8 observed - 2 reserved in CAP-38; gap 2 covered by VEND-38; completion is the first published change window on or after delivery; release_reserved_capacity needs approval beyond CHG-38 so it is not selected.

Acceptance is causal and state-based: all semantic milestones must hold over successful material reads, provider state, post-write readback, the append-only audit log, and write-scope containment.

The reference trajectory is illustrative. Material evidence may be investigated in any valid order and equivalent query shapes may add safe optional arguments; each causal read must succeed before its dependent mutation, and persisted state must be read back afterward.

Compare three concrete, linked readiness options for “How much high-priority work is in flight?” through engineering-portfolio automation: standard capacity finishes 2026-03-07 at USD 0; expedited capacity finishes 2026-03-04 at USD 1050; releasing reserved capacity finishes 2026-03-03 at USD 1800 but requires approval beyond CHG-38. Recommend expedite_capacity, record its 2026-03-04 outcome and -1-day variance, and report ON_TIME honestly.

Leave the employee-facing conclusion for “How much high-priority work is in flight?” with the exact supported insight: the answer is 6; write a natural scoped completion note, not a keyword list or serialized benchmark object; state the selected option (expedite_capacity) in the scoped completion handoff; state the outcome date (2026-03-04) in the scoped completion handoff; state the approval reference (CHG-38) in the scoped completion handoff; state the timing status (ON_TIME) in the scoped completion handoff; state the binding constraint (CloudCap expedited capacity on 2026-03-04) in the scoped completion handoff. Close “How much high-priority work is in flight?” only after the business state and readbacks are complete: close ENG-2808 only once the work is done, not before.

How much high-priority work is in flight?

Build the causal case for “How much high-priority work is in flight?”: first resolve the same work across the authoritative Jira work item, the cross-tracker link registry, and the linked GitHub issue population; then use the operating-control index and the exact control revision to select the effective rule over the retired shortcut; reconcile ownership, approval, and reported context through the case-room conversation, the linked planning tracker, and the PagerDuty change-event history; finally test the competing explanation against the current work-item population, the linked planning tracker, the deployment ledger, and the employee work item. All 20 exact causal facts must be present inside the 26-read investigation before they support this outcome: record the supported answer 6 from Jira issues, with assumptions; move the employee work item to done. Preserve this additional control: read the system of record rather than working from memory. Prove that the same outcome for “How much high-priority work is in flight?” is deliverable through engineering-portfolio automation, using scattered records: 2 healthy replicas per zone across 4 zones means 8 required; 8 observed less 2 reserved for catalog leaves 6 usable and a 2-replica gap. Reconcile that gap with CloudCap's 2026-03-07 standard and 2026-03-04 expedited deliveries, the published change windows, and the independent 2026-03-05 customer date.

Prove the observable result for “How much high-priority work is in flight?” after the transition: reopen the employee work item and confirm the persisted result. After the last guarded transition for “How much high-priority work is in flight?”, reopen the employee work item, then reopen the completion conversation so persistence and communication are both proven.

Reopened get_ticket after update_ticket for DOB-038 and confirmed persisted provider state, not merely the write acknowledgement.

Prompt: How much high-priority work is in flight? How many issues are In Progress at High priority or above? Highest counts as above High. Give the requesting team the supported result and cite the governing records. The affected workflow reaches tracker identity, status, ownership, duplicate control, and communication to the teams acting on the resulting population. Reconcile identity across the available systems, apply the business rule to the resulting set, and leave a clear account of exclusions. Engineering portfolio automation owns the 2026-03-05 delivery promise for this request. Give the requesting team a supported delivery date based on the real queue and protected commitments, including the cost and authority needed to improve it.

Standard CloudCap delivery 2026-03-07 reaches the 2026-03-07 window at USD 0. Standard delivery only reaches the 2026-03-07 window, 3 day(s) after expedite_capacity, and would land 2 day(s) after the cutover; it is authorised but inferior.

Expedited CloudCap delivery 2026-03-04 reaches the 2026-03-04 window for USD 1050. Expedited CloudCap delivery on 2026-03-04 lands in the 2026-03-04 change window, 1 day(s) ahead of the 2026-03-05 cutover, keeps the 2 reserved replicas untouched, and carries the documented incremental cost of USD 1050.

Releasing the 2 replicas reserved for the catalog freeze covers the gap today but needs approval beyond CHG-38. Releasing the 2 replicas reserved for the catalog freeze would cover the 2-replica gap today, but it breaks a reservation another team depends on, needs incident-commander approval beyond CHG-38, and adds the USD 1800 re-provisioning charge.

Recognised that release_reserved_capacity remains outside current authority and needs incident-commander approval beyond CHG-40.

Applied change approval CHG-40 only to the authorised standard_capacity_plan scope.

Compared 2026-03-06 with the independent control date 2026-03-06 and calculated a signed variance of +0 day(s).

Reported ON_TIME; did not relabel a controlled but late result as on time.

Located DOB-040 for engineering-portfolio automation through immutable Jira and GitHub identities and preserved OPS-CONTROL-2026.03 as the effective control.

DOB-040 resolves to Jira DOB-040 and GitHub issue #9040 for engineering-portfolio automation; the effective control is OPS-CONTROL-2026.03.

Derived 9 replicas from 3 per zone x 3 zones, with control date 2026-03-06.

The readiness standard requires 3 healthy replicas per zone and the PagerDuty scale record shows 3 zones: 9 replicas are required before the 2026-03-06 cutover.

Reconciled 9 observed less 3 reserved to 6 usable replicas and a 3-replica gap.

The pool holds 9 replicas; 3 are reserved for the checkout freeze, leaving 6 usable and a gap of 3.

CloudCap vendor order VEND-40 confirms 3 replicas: standard delivery 2026-03-06, expedited delivery 2026-03-04 for USD 1350.

Change windows for engineering-portfolio automation are 2026-03-04, 2026-03-06, 2026-03-08, 2026-03-10; work outside a window needs incident-commander approval.

Applied CHG-40 only to standard_capacity_plan and kept release_reserved_capacity outside current authority.

CHG-40 approves the standard and expedited plans within published windows; releasing reserved capacity is outside current authority.

Compared the selected outcome with the 2026-03-06 cutover and reported ON_TIME honestly.

The customer cutover is published for 2026-03-06; the recommended plan lands +0 day(s) versus it (ON_TIME).

Establish the exact business state for “Close the tickets that duplicate other trackers.”: move ENG-3001, ENG-3003 to Done; a status alone does not record an outcome; set a resolution. Coordinate the linked records for “Close the tickets that duplicate other trackers.”: close ticket ENG-2809 once the work is done. Keep “Close the tickets that duplicate other trackers.” contained to its supported records and service boundary: leave issues outside the filter exactly as they were; fabricate no records or evidence; preserve every frozen out-of-scope record; introduce no hardcoded credentials.

Choose the branch for “Close the tickets that duplicate other trackers.” that can legitimately produce this business state: move ENG-3001, ENG-3003 to Done; a status alone does not record an outcome; set a resolution. Reject a stale-record shortcut, an unsupported hold, and any broader workaround. Compare three concrete, linked readiness options for “Close the tickets that duplicate other trackers.” through engineering-portfolio automation: standard capacity finishes 2026-03-06 at USD 0; expedited capacity finishes 2026-03-04 at USD 1350; releasing reserved capacity finishes 2026-03-03 at USD 1200 but requires approval beyond CHG-40. Recommend standard_capacity_plan, record its 2026-03-06 outcome and +0-day variance, and report ON_TIME honestly.

Leave the employee-facing conclusion for “Close the tickets that duplicate other trackers.” with the exact supported insight: a status alone does not record an outcome; set a resolution; write a natural scoped completion note, not a keyword list or serialized benchmark object; state the selected option (standard_capacity_plan) in the scoped completion handoff; state the outcome date (2026-03-06) in the scoped completion handoff; state the approval reference (CHG-40) in the scoped completion handoff; state the timing status (ON_TIME) in the scoped completion handoff; state the binding constraint (CloudCap standard capacity on 2026-03-06) in the scoped completion handoff. Close “Close the tickets that duplicate other trackers.” only after the business state and readbacks are complete: close ENG-2809 only once the work is done, not before.

Close the tickets that duplicate other trackers.

Build the causal case for “Close the tickets that duplicate other trackers.”: first resolve the same work across the authoritative Jira work item, the cross-tracker link registry, and the linked GitHub issue population; then use the operating-control index and the exact control revision to select the effective rule over the retired shortcut; reconcile ownership, approval, and reported context through the case-room conversation, the linked planning tracker, and the PagerDuty change-event history; finally test the competing explanation against the cross-tracker link registry, the linked GitHub issue population, the current Jira population, and the current work-item population. All 20 exact causal facts must be present inside the 26-read investigation before they support this outcome: move ENG-3001, ENG-3003 to Done; a status alone does not record an outcome; set a resolution. Preserve this additional control: read the system of record rather than working from memory. Prove that the same outcome for “Close the tickets that duplicate other trackers.” is deliverable through engineering-portfolio automation, using scattered records: 3 healthy replicas per zone across 3 zones means 9 required; 9 observed less 3 reserved for checkout leaves 6 usable and a 3-replica gap. Reconcile that gap with CloudCap's 2026-03-06 standard and 2026-03-04 expedited deliveries, the published change windows, and the independent 2026-03-06 customer date.

Prove the observable result for “Close the tickets that duplicate other trackers.” after the transition: reopen the authoritative Jira work item and the employee work item and confirm the persisted result. After the last guarded transition for “Close the tickets that duplicate other trackers.”, reopen the authoritative Jira work item and the employee work item, then reopen the completion conversation so persistence and communication are both proven.

Reopened jira_get_issue after jira_transition_issue for DOB-040 and confirmed persisted provider state, not merely the write acknowledgement.

Reopened get_ticket after update_ticket for DOB-040 and confirmed persisted provider state, not merely the write acknowledgement.

Prompt: Close the tickets that duplicate other trackers. Some tickets on our board are duplicates of work already tracked in another system, and we keep re-triaging them. Close every ticket that is recorded as duplicating an issue in another tracker, with a resolution that says so. A ticket that merely looks similar is not a duplicate - only the recorded links count, and anything without one stays exactly as it is. The decision affects tracker identity, status, ownership, duplicate control, and communication to the teams acting on the resulting population. Work from the actual current population rather than a convenient snapshot, preserve out-of-scope records, and verify the delivered outcome. The requesting team expects the result through engineering portfolio automation by 2026-03-06. If the promised date is not credible, record the earliest workable alternative, its schedule variance, and the approval still needed for anything faster.

Standard CloudCap delivery 2026-03-06 reaches the 2026-03-06 window at USD 0. Standard CloudCap delivery on 2026-03-06 lands in the 2026-03-06 change window, on the 2026-03-06 cutover date, keeps the 3 reserved replicas untouched, and carries the documented incremental cost of USD 0.

Expedited CloudCap delivery 2026-03-04 reaches the 2026-03-04 window for USD 1350. Expedited delivery would reach the 2026-03-04 window but adds USD +1350 for time the cutover does not need; it is authorised but not recommended.

Releasing the 3 replicas reserved for the checkout freeze covers the gap today but needs approval beyond CHG-40. Releasing the 3 replicas reserved for the checkout freeze would cover the 3-replica gap today, but it breaks a reservation another team depends on, needs incident-commander approval beyond CHG-40, and adds the USD 1200 re-provisioning charge.
