Overview​

Establish a formal repository pattern for Feature Requests (FRs), Bug Reports (BRs), and User Experience Research (UXR) reports by creating Story 0 (S00) in Epics 5, 6, and 7. Each FR/BR/UXR becomes a task in its respective repository story, creating perfect 1:1 traceability (FR-001 = E5:S00:T01, BR-001 = E6:S00:T01, UXR-001 = E7:S00:T01).

Goals​

  • Create repository stories (S00) for FR, BR, UXR
  • Establish 1:1 traceability pattern (FR-001 = E5:S00:T01)
  • Define PERPETUAL state for repository stories
  • Update intake workflow to assign FR/BR/UXR to S00:Txx
  • Update board display logic to omit S00 stories
  • Document meta-grouping pattern
