- Use this backlog for tasks, ideas, bugs, operations follow-up, review follow-up, and product work.
- Do not use it as a replacement for
AUDIT_BACKLOG.md. - Keep IDs stable. Do not renumber existing items.
- Create or update a backlog item before implementation starts when a new request arrives.
- If architecture impact is
cross-layerorproduction-critical, update architecture docs in the same task or create a linked follow-up item. - Example rows below illustrate the format. Replace them with real project state.
