Resolves #10706

Context & Fix: Implements the second sub-issue of Epic #10704 by updating ticket-create-workflow.md to mandate the Contract Ledger matrix for public-surface tickets. This ensures API contracts are negotiated upstream during ticket ideation rather than downstream during PR review.

Evidence: Evidence: L1 (static doc-shape audit) → L1 required (no runtime-verify ACs). No residuals.

Merge Dependency: Depends on #10709 landing first, as it introduces the canonical Contract Ledger documentation surface that this PR references.

Context Graph Linkage

This PR updates the ticket-create workflow so newly authored Fat Tickets include the Contract Ledger matrix when a ticket proposes public or consumed contract changes. It depends on #10705 establishing the shared Contract Ledger authority surface cleanly.

Depth Floor Challenge

The intended skill edit is small and directionally correct, but the PR diff is dominated by generated app resource churn unrelated to #10706. That makes the branch non-reviewable as a clean workflow change and violates the narrow-subissue packaging we just established for #10704.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit

Pass with dependency caveat. The ticket-create addition asks authors to provide the matrix at creation time, which matches the upstream-contract goal. Final wording should stay aligned with the corrected #10705 Contract Ledger doc after that PR is fixed.

Close-Target Audit

Pass. The close target is #10706, not the parent epic, and the PR body uses Resolves #10706.

Evidence Audit

Pass. The PR declares Evidence L1 and this is a docs-only/static workflow change.

Cross-Skill Integration Audit

Pass conceptually. The ticket-create workflow is the correct creation-time insertion point. This should remain dependent on the canonical Contract Ledger surface from #10705 rather than redefining contract semantics locally.

Test-Execution Audit

No runtime tests are required for this docs-only target. Static whitespace validation passed: git diff --check origin/dev...origin/pr/10710.

Required Actions

1. Remove unrelated generated resource changes from this PR: apps/devindex/resources/data/tracker.json, apps/devindex/resources/data/users.jsonl, apps/devindex/resources/data/visited.json, apps/portal/llms.txt, apps/portal/resources/data/tickets.json, and apps/portal/sitemap.xml.
2. Rebase or rebuild the branch so the diff for #10706 contains only the ticket-create workflow change and any strictly necessary Contract Ledger reference after #10705 is corrected.
3. If this PR intentionally depends on #10705, state that merge ordering in the PR body so reviewers know the Contract Ledger link target is expected to land first.

Metrics

Architectural Alignment: 80/100. Creation-time enforcement is the right place to prevent PR-cycle contract negotiation. Content Completeness: 75/100. The skill addition is concise, but it should point at the final canonical Contract Ledger doc once #10705 is corrected. Execution Quality: 40/100. The generated resource churn makes the PR materially noisy despite the targeted docs edit. Productivity Impact: 60/100. The workflow value is useful, but review cost is currently inflated by unrelated files. Strategic Impact: 70/100. This is an important creation-time guard for the new epic pattern. Review Complexity: 35/100. Overall Effort: Quick Win after branch cleanup.

Status: Approved

Cycle: Cycle 2 follow-up / stale-diff correction

Opening: Re-checking the prior generated-resource Required Action after refreshing the live PR diff and local PR refs.

Strategic-Fit Decision

Decision: Approve Rationale: The only prior blocker was generated app-resource churn. Fresh GitHub and local diffs now show the PR contains only the intended ticket-create-workflow.md update, and the static whitespace gate passes.

Delta Scope

Files changed: .agents/skills/ticket-create/references/ticket-create-workflow.md. PR body / close-target changes: unchanged and valid. Branch freshness / merge state: clean. gh pr diff 10710 --name-only and git diff --name-status origin/dev...origin/pr/10710 both show only the one intended file.

Previous Required Actions Audit

Rejected with rationale, accepted after verification: remove generated resource churn. The refreshed diff proves this was stale base noise, not live PR content. Addressed by current state: branch now has only the ticket-create workflow change. Merge ordering remains naturally dependent on #10709 landing the referenced learn/agentos/contract-ledger.md, but that is not a blocker for this PR shape.

Delta Depth Floor

Documented delta search: I actively checked the GitHub name-only diff, local name-status, whitespace gate, and close-target metadata and found no new concerns.

Test-Execution Audit

Changed surface class: docs-template workflow only. Related verification run: git diff --check origin/dev...origin/pr/10710 passed. No runtime tests required. Findings: pass.

Metrics Delta

[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 80 -> 100 - Prior deduction was dependency/noise only; the creation-time insertion point is correct. [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 75 -> 95 - The workflow addition is concise and references the Contract Ledger schema; 5 points held only because #10709 must land the referenced doc before this link is resolvable on dev. [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 40 -> 100 - Live diff is clean and scoped to one intended file. [PRODUCTIVITY]: 60 -> 100 - Fully satisfies #10706. [IMPACT]: unchanged from prior review at 70 - Important creation-time guard. [COMPLEXITY]: 35 -> 20 - One markdown workflow edit. [EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged from prior review at Quick Win.
