Ticket Verification

Validate ticket hygiene for acceptance criteria and evidence tracking.

What this checks

1. YAML frontmatter exists with required fields (id, title, status, type, tier, scope, dependencies)
2. ## Acceptance Criteria section exists
3. AC items use ID format (AC-01, AC-02, ...)
4. ## Verification Evidence section exists
5. Every completed AC (- [x] AC-..) appears in verification evidence
6. Evidence has a non-Pending result for completed ACs
7. If status: in-progress: assigned_to and started_at are set
8. If status: done: completed_at is set

Workflow

1. Resolve the target ticket path from $ARGUMENTS
2. Read the ticket file
3. Parse frontmatter and validate required fields
4. Find all AC items and check ID format
5. Cross-reference completed ACs against verification evidence table
6. Check status-specific fields

Output format

• Ticket: <path>
• Status: PASS / FAIL
• Issues: bullet list (if any)
• Next action: explicit fix suggestion or confirmation
