## Critical Priority Items (P0)

### BACKLOG-001: Add CLI JSON Output Support

**Priority**: P0 - CRITICAL BLOCKER
**Impact**: Blocks 30+ tests (75% of suite), prevents automation/CI/CD
**Effort**: 2-3 days
**Status**: 🔴 BLOCKING

#### Problem Statement

The mcp-ticketer CLI provides only human-readable formatted text output. There is no machine-parseable JSON output option, making automated validation and CI/CD integration impossible.

**Current Behavior**:
```bash
$ mcp-ticketer ticket show 1M-123
─────────────────────────────────────
Ticket: 1M-123
Title: Fix login bug
State: in_progress
Priority: high
Assignee: user@example.com
Tags: bug, security
Created: 2025-12-05T10:00:00Z
Updated: 2025-12-05T15:30:00Z
─────────────────────────────────────
```

**Desired Behavior**:
```bash
$ mcp-ticketer ticket show 1M-123 --json
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "id": "1M-123",
    "title": "Fix login bug",
    "state": "in_progress",
    "priority": "high",
    "assignee": "user@example.com",
    "tags": ["bug", "security"],
    "created_at": "2025-12-05T10:00:00Z",
    "updated_at": "2025-12-05T15:30:00Z"
  }
}
```

#### Commands Affected

All CLI commands lack JSON output support:

| Command | Current Output | JSON Support |
|---------|---------------|--------------|
| `ticket show <id>` | Formatted table | ❌ None |
| `ticket list` | Formatted list | ❌ None |
| `ticket search <query>` | Formatted results | ❌ None |
| `ticket create` | Success message | ❌ None |
| `ticket update` | Success message | ❌ None |
| `ticket transition` | Success message | ❌ None |
| `ticket comment` | Success message | ❌ None |
| `config get` | Formatted config | ❌ None |
| `hierarchy` | Formatted tree | ❌ None |
| `milestone list` | Formatted table | ❌ None |

**Total Commands**: ~10+ commands need JSON support

#### Impact Analysis

**Testing Impact**:
- **Blocked Tests**: 30 out of 40 tests (75%)
- **Test Infrastructure**: Forces fragile regex-based text parsing
- **False Negatives**: Field validation failures due to parsing errors
- **Maintenance**: High cost to maintain text parsing logic

**CI/CD Impact**:
- **Automation**: Cannot reliably parse CLI output in pipelines
- **Validation**: Cannot validate field values after operations
- **Reporting**: Cannot generate structured test reports
- **Integration**: Third-party tools cannot consume CLI output

**User Impact**:
- **Scripting**: Users cannot write reliable automation scripts
- **Data Processing**: Cannot pipe CLI output to jq or other tools
- **Integration**: Cannot integrate CLI with other systems
- **Workflows**: Cannot build complex workflows using CLI

#### Current Workaround

Test infrastructure uses fragile regex parsing:

```python
# tests/integration/helpers/cli_helper.py
def get_ticket(self, ticket_id: str) -> Optional[Dict[str, Any]]:
    """Parse text output with regex (FRAGILE)."""
    result = self._run_command(["ticket", "show", ticket_id])

    # Brittle text parsing
    ticket = {}
    match = re.search(r'Title:\s*(.+)', result.output)
    if match:
        ticket['title'] = match.group(1).strip()

    match = re.search(r'State:\s*(\w+)', result.output)
    if match:
        ticket['state'] = match.group(1).strip()

    # ... many more regex patterns ...

    return ticket if ticket else None
```

**Workaround Problems**:
- Breaks when output format changes
- Cannot parse complex nested data
- Cannot handle all field types (arrays, objects)
- High maintenance burden
- Unreliable for CI/CD

#### Recommended Solution

**Add `--json` flag to all CLI commands**:

1. **Argument Parser**:
   ```python
   # Add to argparse configuration
   parser.add_argument('--json', action='store_true',
                      help='Output in JSON format')
   ```

2. **Response Format**:
   ```python
   # Consistent JSON response structure
   {
     "status": "success" | "error",
     "data": { ... },  # Command-specific data
     "error": { ... }  # Only present on error
   }
   ```

3. **Success Response Example**:
   ```json
   {
     "status": "success",
     "data": {
       "id": "1M-123",
       "title": "Fix login bug",
       "state": "in_progress",
       "priority": "high",
       "assignee": "user@example.com",
       "tags": ["bug", "security"],
       "created_at": "2025-12-05T10:00:00Z",
       "updated_at": "2025-12-05T15:30:00Z"
     }
   }
   ```

4. **Error Response Example**:
   ```json
   {
     "status": "error",
     "error": {
       "code": "TICKET_NOT_FOUND",
       "message": "Ticket 1M-999 not found",
       "details": {
         "ticket_id": "1M-999",
         "adapter": "linear"
       }
     }
   }
   ```

5. **List Response Example**:
   ```json
   {
     "status": "success",
     "data": {
       "tickets": [
         { "id": "1M-123", "title": "..." },
         { "id": "1M-124", "title": "..." }
       ],
       "total": 2,
       "limit": 10,
       "offset": 0
     }
   }
   ```

    formatter = JSONFormatter()
    response = formatter.success({"id": "1M-123", "title": "Test"})
    assert response["status"] == "success"
    assert response["data"]["id"] == "1M-123"

def test_json_error_formatter():
    """Test JSON error formatting."""
    formatter = JSONFormatter()

## High Priority Items (P1)

### BACKLOG-002: Add GitHub Synchronous Operations Support

**Priority**: P1 - HIGH
**Impact**: Blocks 13 GitHub tests (100% of GitHub suite)
**Effort**: 3-4 days
**Status**: 🟠 HIGH PRIORITY

#### Problem Statement

GitHub adapter uses an asynchronous queue system for operations, returning queue IDs instead of ticket/issue IDs. Tests and automation scripts expect synchronous behavior with immediate ticket ID responses.

**Current Behavior**:
```bash
$ mcp-ticketer ticket create --title "Test issue"
✓ Queued ticket creation: Q-9E7B5050

# Queue ID returned, not issue ID
# Cannot immediately read the created issue
```

**Linear Behavior (for comparison)**:
```bash
$ mcp-ticketer ticket create --title "Test ticket"
✓ Ticket created successfully: 1M-643

# Ticket ID returned immediately
# Can immediately read the created ticket
```

#### Root Cause Analysis

**GitHub Adapter Architecture**:
1. CLI command submits operation to queue
2. Queue system returns queue ID (Q-XXXXXXXX)
3. Background worker processes queue asynchronously
4. Ticket/issue ID becomes available after processing
5. No mechanism to wait for completion in CLI

**Queue System Components**:
- Queue manager (accepts operations)
- Background worker (processes queue)
- Status tracking (queue item state)
- No CLI integration for status/waiting

#### Impact Analysis

**Testing Impact**:
- **Blocked Tests**: 13 out of 13 GitHub tests (100%)
- **Test Pattern**: Cannot retrieve created issues immediately
- **Workaround**: None available (cannot chain operations)
- **Coverage**: Zero GitHub test coverage

**User Experience Impact**:
- **Scripting**: Cannot chain GitHub operations
- **Automation**: Cannot validate operations in scripts
- **Workflows**: Multi-step workflows broken
- **Feedback**: No confirmation of operation success

**CI/CD Impact**:
- **Pipeline Validation**: Cannot validate GitHub operations
- **Deployment Scripts**: Cannot automate GitHub issue creation
- **Release Automation**: Cannot update issues programmatically

#### Test Failure Pattern

```python
# Test expects ticket ID
ticket_id = cli_helper.create_ticket(title="Test")
# Returns: "Q-9E7B5050" (queue ID)
# Expected: "#42" (issue number)

# Cannot read ticket immediately
result = cli_helper.get_ticket(ticket_id)
# ERROR: Queue ID != Ticket ID
# Cannot retrieve issue by queue ID

# Test fails
assert ticket_id.startswith("#")  # FAILS
```

#### Recommended Solutions

**Option 1: Add `--wait` Flag (RECOMMENDED)**

Add CLI flag to poll queue until completion:

```bash
# Synchronous mode
$ mcp-ticketer ticket create --title "Test" --wait
✓ Ticket created successfully: #42

# Behavior:
# 1. Submit operation to queue
# 2. Poll queue status every 1 second
# 3. Return ticket ID when status = completed
# 4. Timeout after 30 seconds (configurable)
```

**Implementation**:
```python
# CLI handler
if args.wait:
    queue_id = submit_to_queue(operation)
    ticket_id = poll_queue_until_complete(
        queue_id,
        timeout=args.timeout or 30,
        interval=1
    )
    print(f"✓ Ticket created successfully: {ticket_id}")
else:
    queue_id = submit_to_queue(operation)
    print(f"✓ Queued ticket creation: {queue_id}")

# Queue polling
def poll_queue_until_complete(queue_id, timeout, interval):
    start = time.time()
    while time.time() - start < timeout:
        status = queue_manager.get_status(queue_id)
        if status.state == "completed":
            return status.ticket_id
        elif status.state == "failed":
            raise Exception(f"Queue operation failed: {status.error}")
        time.sleep(interval)
    raise TimeoutError(f"Queue {queue_id} timed out after {timeout}s")
```

**Effort**: 3-4 days

**Pros**:
- ✅ Best user experience
- ✅ Enables test automation
- ✅ Backward compatible (async by default)
- ✅ Configurable timeout
- ✅ Works for all operations

**Cons**:
- ⚠️ Requires queue status API
- ⚠️ Adds CLI complexity
- ⚠️ May slow down operations (polling overhead)

---

**Option 2: Add Queue Status Command**

Add command to check queue operation status:

```bash
# Create returns queue ID
$ mcp-ticketer ticket create --title "Test"
✓ Queued ticket creation: Q-9E7B5050

# Check queue status
$ mcp-ticketer queue status Q-9E7B5050
{
  "queue_id": "Q-9E7B5050",
  "status": "completed",
  "ticket_id": "#42",
  "created_at": "2025-12-05T10:00:00Z",
  "completed_at": "2025-12-05T10:00:05Z"
}

# Use ticket ID
$ mcp-ticketer ticket show "#42"
```

**Implementation**:
```python
# Add new command
@cli.command()
def queue_status(queue_id: str, json: bool = False):
    """Check queue operation status."""
    status = queue_manager.get_status(queue_id)
    if json:
        print(json.dumps(status.to_dict()))
    else:
        print(f"Status: {status.state}")
        if status.ticket_id:
            print(f"Ticket: {status.ticket_id}")
```

**Effort**: 2-3 days

**Pros**:
- ✅ Simple implementation
- ✅ Explicit queue management
- ✅ Useful for debugging
- ✅ No breaking changes

**Cons**:
- ⚠️ Requires manual polling by users
- ⚠️ Extra command to learn
- ⚠️ Doesn't help automated tests much
- ⚠️ Still requires waiting logic in scripts

---

**Option 3: Update Test Framework**

Adapt tests to handle queue IDs and poll for completion:

```python
# cli_helper.py
def create_ticket(self, title: str, **kwargs) -> str:
    """Create ticket and handle queue system."""
    result = self._run_command(["ticket", "create", "--title", title])

    # Extract ID (queue or ticket)
    ticket_id = self._extract_id(result.output)

    # If queue ID, poll until complete
    if ticket_id.startswith("Q-"):
        ticket_id = self._poll_queue(ticket_id, timeout=30)

    self.created_tickets.append(ticket_id)
    return ticket_id

def _poll_queue(self, queue_id: str, timeout: int) -> str:
    """Poll queue until operation completes."""
    import time
    start = time.time()

    while time.time() - start < timeout:
        # Check queue status (via CLI or API)
        status = self._get_queue_status(queue_id)
        if status["state"] == "completed":
            return status["ticket_id"]
        time.sleep(1)

    raise TimeoutError(f"Queue {queue_id} timeout")
```

**Effort**: 1-2 days

**Pros**:
- ✅ Quick fix for tests
- ✅ No product changes needed
- ✅ Documents adapter behavior

**Cons**:
- ⚠️ Doesn't help end users
- ⚠️ Doesn't enable CI/CD
- ⚠️ Test-specific workaround
- ⚠️ Still requires queue status API

---

### BACKLOG-003: Fix CLI Flag Inconsistencies

**Priority**: P1 - HIGH
**Impact**: Confuses users, causes test failures
**Effort**: 1 day
**Status**: 🟡 DOCUMENTATION

#### Problem Statement

Tests and documentation show inconsistent CLI flag names. The CLI expects certain flags, but tests/docs use different variations.

#### Issues Found

| Test/Doc Expects | CLI Actually Requires | Command | Impact |
|------------------|----------------------|---------|--------|
| `--tags tag1,tag2` | `--tag tag1 --tag tag2` | ticket create | Test failure |
| `--parent-epic EPIC-1` | `--epic EPIC-1` or `--project` | ticket create | Test failure |
| Output: "Created ticket: 1M-123" | Output: "Ticket created successfully: 1M-123" | ticket create | Parsing failure |

#### Recommended Solutions

**Option 1: Update Documentation** (Quick fix)
- [ ] Document correct flag names in CLI help
- [ ] Update examples in README
- [ ] Add common mistakes to FAQ
- [ ] Update integration test examples

**Option 2: Add Flag Aliases** (Better UX)
- [ ] Add `--tags` as alias for multiple `--tag` flags
- [ ] Add `--parent-epic` as alias for `--epic`
- [ ] Update argparse to accept both forms
- [ ] Document aliases

**Option 3: Standardize Output Messages**
- [ ] Choose one message format
- [ ] Update all CLI commands
- [ ] Document output format

**Recommended**: Implement all three options

**Effort**: 1 day total

#### Acceptance Criteria

✅ CLI help shows correct flag names
✅ Common aliases supported (--tags, --parent-epic)
✅ Output messages standardized
✅ Documentation matches CLI behavior
✅ Tests updated to use correct flags

---

### BACKLOG-004: Support GITHUB_TOKEN from Config File

**Priority**: P1 - HIGH
**Impact**: Forces environment variable usage
**Effort**: 0.5 days
**Status**: 🟡 ENHANCEMENT

#### Problem Statement

GitHub tests only check `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable, but the token exists in `.mcp-ticketer/config.json`. Tests should check both sources.

**Current Behavior**:
```python
# conftest.py
@pytest.fixture
def skip_if_no_github_token():
    if "GITHUB_TOKEN" not in os.environ:
        pytest.skip("GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable not set")
```

**Desired Behavior**:
```python
# conftest.py
@pytest.fixture
def skip_if_no_github_token():
    # Check env var first
    if "GITHUB_TOKEN" in os.environ:
        return

    # Check config file
    config = load_config()
    if config.get("adapters", {}).get("github", {}).get("token"):
        return

    pytest.skip("GITHUB_TOKEN not found in env or config")
```

#### Implementation

- [ ] Update test fixtures to read from config
- [ ] Add precedence logic (env var → config file)
- [ ] Document token configuration
- [ ] Test both sources

**Effort**: 0.5 days

#### Acceptance Criteria

✅ Tests check environment variable first
✅ Tests fall back to config file
✅ Precedence documented
✅ All GitHub tests run with config token
