+# Live Operation Issue Tracking Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-02  
+**Scope:** Real-operation confirmation tracking for all open Gitea issues, tied to `task/80-implementation-audit-closeout`.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goal
+
+Define an issue-by-issue tracking method for real-operation confirmation so that:
+
+- every open issue is tracked with explicit lifecycle states,
+- parent-child close order is enforced,
+- and final closeout is reflected in `80` audit work without loss.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Target Set
+
+- Coverage target: all current open Gitea issues (`318~381`, and future open issues during this closeout window).
+- Tracking starts from open set snapshot and stays synced until closeout completion.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Tracking Architecture
+
+- Primary log: direct comments on each issue ticket.
+- Aggregate log: single summary comment on the `80` PR (`task/80-implementation-audit-closeout`).
+- No separate tracking doc as source of truth during execution.
+
+---
+
+## 4. State Model and Criteria
+
+State machine:
+
+- `NOT_STARTED`
+- `OBSERVING`
+- `CONFIRMED`
+- `CLOSED`
+
+Rules:
+
+- `CONFIRMED` requires one real-operation observation evidence item.
+- `CLOSED` requires close conditions satisfied and ticket close action executed.
+- Parent issue cannot become `CLOSED` until all child issues are `CLOSED`.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Issue Comment Template
+
+Each issue update comment uses:
+
+- `Status: <STATE>`
+- `Observed At: <KST>, <UTC>`
+- `Environment: live`
+- `Evidence: <log/query/order-execution identifier>`
+- `Next: <single next action>`
+
+This template is reused for every transition for consistent auditability.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Parent-Child Policy
+
+- Parent issue comment must list child issue IDs.
+- Child issues transition independently.
+- Parent close gate:
+  - if any child is not `CLOSED`, parent remains at most `CONFIRMED`;
+  - when all children are `CLOSED`, parent can transition to `CLOSED` and be closed.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Operational Loop
+
+1. Initialize all open issues with `NOT_STARTED` comment.
+2. Move active issues to `OBSERVING` when live confirmation begins.
+3. Move to `CONFIRMED` after one real-operation evidence capture.
+4. Close child issues first, then close parent issue(s).
+5. Update the single `80` PR summary comment whenever issue state changes.
+6. Reflect final confirmed/closed outcomes in `docs/ouroboros/80_implementation_audit.md`.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Evidence and Time Rules
+
+- Evidence must be replayable/referenceable by identifier (not vague narrative only).
+- Every update includes both KST and UTC timestamps.
+- Use absolute dates (example: `2026-03-02`) to avoid ambiguity in session handoff.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Completion Conditions
+
+Tracking design is complete when:
+
+- all open issues are represented in issue comments with valid lifecycle state,
+- parent-child closure constraints are respected,
+- `80` PR summary comment reflects current global status,
+- and final `80` audit document update is ready for closeout commit.

+# Live Operation Issue Tracking Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Track real-operation confirmation for all open Gitea issues with per-issue comments and a synchronized summary on the `80` PR, then close issues in dependency-safe order.
+
+**Architecture:** Use issue tickets as the primary state log with a strict four-state lifecycle. Maintain one aggregate status comment on `task/80-implementation-audit-closeout` PR. Enforce child-first closure and parent close gating.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Git CLI, Gitea CLI (`tea`), Markdown (`docs/ouroboros/80_implementation_audit.md`)
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Snapshot open issues and classify parent-child graph
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: none
+- Modify: none
+- Test: `tea issues ls` output inspection
+
+**Step 1: Capture open issue list**
+
+Run: `tea issues ls --state open --limit 200`
+Expected: list of all open issues (including `318~381`).
+
+**Step 2: Fetch details for each issue**
+
+Run: `for n in $(tea issues ls --state open --limit 200 --output json | jq -r '.[].number'); do tea issue view "$n"; done`
+Expected: issue bodies/comments available for relation parsing.
+
+**Step 3: Extract parent-child references**
+
+Run: parse issue text for relation keywords (`parent`, `child`, `depends on`, `blocks`).
+Expected: dependency map ready.
+
+**Step 4: Validate unresolved dependency edges**
+
+Run: verify each parent references only existing issue numbers.
+Expected: no dangling child references.
+
+**Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+# no commit (discovery task)
+```
+
+### Task 2: Initialize per-issue tracking comments (`NOT_STARTED`)
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: none
+- Modify: none
+- Test: issue comment presence check
+
+**Step 1: Prepare standard template text**
+
+```text
+Status: NOT_STARTED
+Observed At: <KST>, <UTC>
+Environment: live
+Evidence: N/A
+Next: Begin live observation for this issue.
+```
+
+**Step 2: Post initialization comment to each open issue**
+
+Run: `tea issues comment <issue-number> --message "<template>"`
+Expected: each open issue has one initialization comment.
+
+**Step 3: Verify comment coverage**
+
+Run: sample-check each issue (`tea issue view <issue-number>`) for latest status comment.
+Expected: 100% coverage across open issues.
+
+**Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+# no commit (ticket operations)
+```
+
+### Task 3: Create and maintain `80` PR aggregate status comment
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `docs/ouroboros/80_implementation_audit.md` (final sync only, not this task)
+- Test: PR comment contains full issue table
+
+**Step 1: Identify PR number for `task/80-implementation-audit-closeout`**
+
+Run: `tea pr ls --state open`
+Expected: PR number for `task/80...` identified.
+
+**Step 2: Post initial summary comment**
+
+Run: `tea pr comment <pr-number> --message "<issue-state-summary-table>"`
+Expected: one aggregate comment listing `issue | state | last observed at | parent/child`.
+
+**Step 3: Define update protocol**
+
+Run: update same summary comment on every issue state change.
+Expected: summary remains single-source aggregate view.
+
+**Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+# no commit (ticket/PR operations)
+```
+
+### Task 4: Execute live observation loop and mark `OBSERVING` -> `CONFIRMED`
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: none
+- Modify: none
+- Test: evidence-backed state transitions present in issue comments
+
+**Step 1: Mark active issue as `OBSERVING`**
+
+Run: `tea issues comment <issue-number> --message "Status: OBSERVING ..."`
+Expected: issue history shows observation started.
+
+**Step 2: Capture one real-operation evidence item**
+
+Run: collect log/query/order identifier tied to issue behavior.
+Expected: one concrete evidence reference captured.
+
+**Step 3: Mark issue `CONFIRMED`**
+
+Run: `tea issues comment <issue-number> --message "Status: CONFIRMED ... Evidence: <id> ..."`
+Expected: issue has explicit confirmed state.
+
+**Step 4: Sync PR aggregate summary**
+
+Run: update `80` PR summary comment row for that issue.
+Expected: PR summary and issue status aligned.
+
+**Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+# no commit (ticket operations)
+```
+
+### Task 5: Close issues with child-first dependency enforcement
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: none
+- Modify: none
+- Test: parent close attempted only after all children closed
+
+**Step 1: Close confirmed child issues first**
+
+Run: `tea issues close <child-issue-number>`
+Expected: child issue state becomes closed.
+
+**Step 2: Verify all children for each parent**
+
+Run: evaluate dependency map for remaining non-closed children.
+Expected: parent close gate decision available.
+
+**Step 3: Close eligible parent issues**
+
+Run: `tea issues close <parent-issue-number>`
+Expected: parent is closed only when all children are closed.
+
+**Step 4: Post closure comment and sync PR summary**
+
+Run: comment `Status: CLOSED` on closed issue and update PR summary row.
+Expected: closure trace exists in both issue and PR aggregate.
+
+**Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+# no commit (ticket operations)
+```
+
+### Task 6: Reflect final tracked outcomes in `80` audit and commit
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `docs/ouroboros/80_implementation_audit.md`
+- Test: markdown consistency + traceability check
+
+**Step 1: Update `80` with final live-confirmed statuses**
+
+Run: edit status lines and evidence summary sections.
+Expected: document reflects final issue states and confirmation notes.
+
+**Step 2: Add issue closure summary block**
+
+Run: include closed child/parent sequence summary.
+Expected: audit reader can verify closure logic quickly.
+
+**Step 3: Validate references**
+
+Run: ensure issue numbers in doc match actual closed/open states.
+Expected: no mismatch between doc and Gitea.
+
+**Step 4: Commit closeout doc update**
+
+```bash
+git add docs/ouroboros/80_implementation_audit.md
+git commit -m "docs: finalize 80 audit with live-operation issue confirmations"
+```
+
+**Step 5: Push branch**
+
+Run: `git push`
+Expected: closeout commit available on `task/80-implementation-audit-closeout`.
