Goal: Ensure accurate velocity tracking and historical attribution by enforcing that tickets are assigned to the active user before being closed.
Context: Currently, tickets are often created, worked on, and closed without an assignee. This creates a gap in analytics ("who did this work?"). Since most tasks are completed in a single session (15-60m), assigning upon completion is the most accurate signal of ownership.
Changes Required:
.github/AGENTS.md(Section 6: Git Protocol).Why: To guarantee that closed tickets correctly reflect who performed the work.
