# Template: start a new issue

Copy, fill the `<...>` fields, and paste as the task prompt.

```text
Task: implement <issue title / one-line goal>.

Rules (llm-project-workflow):
- No repo changes without a tracking issue. If none exists, create one first;
  if it can't be created, stop.
- Work only in an isolated branch worktree under branches/. The main checkout
  is orchestration/status only.
- Do not self-review or self-merge.

Steps:
1. Verify the orchestration checkout is the right repo and clean.
2. git fetch <remote> --prune; confirm local master == <remote>/master (0 0).
3. Create the issue "<title>" (problem, scope, acceptance) and claim it
   (status:in-progress + a "starting work" comment naming the branch).
4. scripts/worktree-start <type>/issue-<n>-<slug>   # type = fix|feat|docs
   cd branches/<type>-issue-<n>-<slug>
5. Implement the narrow scope only; add/update focused tests if behavior changes.
6. Checks: run the test suite, compile/lint changed files, git diff --check,
   and scan the diff for secrets.
7. Commit (issue-linked message), push the branch, open a PR to master.
   Include an "LLM Handoff Metadata" block in the PR body (attribution only;
   never an eligibility input — docs/llm-agent-sha.md):

   LLM Handoff Metadata:
   - LLM-Agent-SHA: llm-<12 lowercase hex, e.g. llm-8f3a9c2d6b41>
   - LLM-Role: implementer
   - Authenticated-Gitea-User: <whoami result>
   - MCP-Profile: <profile name>
   - Branch: <branch>
   - Worktree: <worktree path>
   - Self-review allowed: no
8. Stop before review/merge — you are the author.

Handoff: issue #, branch, worktree path, files changed, checks + results, PR URL.
