Critical Patterns

Status Transitions (2-step)

Never guess transition IDs. Always:

1. get_transitions -> read available IDs
2. transition_issue with the exact ID from step 1

Time Format (ISO 8601)

Input	Format
30 min	PT30M
2h 30m	PT2H30M
1 day (8h)	P1D
1 week (40h)	P1W

Business time: P1D = 8h, P1W = 5d = 40h.
