To improve agent compliance with core operational protocols, this ticket tracks changes to strengthen the "Ticket-First" gate and the "Memory Core" save mandate.
The agent failed to adhere to these rules, modifying files without a ticket and failing to save conversational turns to memory.
The following changes will be implemented:
In AGENTS.md: An explicit "Pre-Flight Check for Modifications" will be added to the "Ticket-First" Gate section. This forces the agent to verify a ticket exists before using file-writing tools like replace or write_file.
In AGENTS_STARTUP.md: The language around saving the initial turn to the memory core will be clarified to explicitly state that this is a mandatory, per-turn action, not a one-time setup step.
These changes are designed to make the protocols more robust and prevent future lapses in agent procedure.
