#2686 gatorwalk-factory: start a work item from a ticket (GW-18)

Opened by skunk-ape · 9/29/2026· Shipped 9/29/2026

Part of the gatorwalk-factory rebuild of @swamp/software-factory (gatorwalk-factory/ in swamp-extensions). Shipped so far: GW-1..GW-9, the swamp-extensions lifecycle (#2630) and the tracker contract with the Linear adapter (GW-16, #2664). Read gatorwalk-factory/README.md and DESIGN.md first.

A developer working a ticket (tier 2) starts from the ticket, not from a key. GW-18: given a tracker ticket (a Linear issue first; the swamp-club Lab adapter, #2631, the same way), find its work item if one exists, or generate a key and start one with the ticket's ids in externalRefs (the UUID as the key, the display identifier for display; GW-16 already reports these from fetch_issue). Keep a ticket-to-work-item index so the same ticket never starts twice, and say where it lives and how it survives a failure between starting the work item and recording the index.

Work items are never named after tickets (Linear identifiers change when an issue moves team, and some work has no ticket). Tests against a local fake tracker; a real-engine test for the whole start-from-ticket path. Nothing is published.
