Implement a batch of tickets through per-ticket subagents (#82)

## What this adds Two files that turn the one-ticket-at-a-time `/implement` loop into an orchestrated batch. **`.claude/skills/implement-tickets/SKILL.md`** — user-invoked (`disable-model-invocation: true`, so it costs no context until typed). The agent that runs it is an orchestrator, not an implementer: 1. Collect the tickets over `tea`, reading each `Blocked by` line. 2. Plan waves from the blocking edges, three tickets wide, and fix every cross-ticket contract (shared signature, JSON shape, column, token) before anything is dispatched. 3. Present the plan and stop for approval. 4. Per ticket: `git worktree add ../ticket-<n>`, copy the gitignored `.env`, claim the issue, write a brief to `.scratch/`, then dispatch the whole wave as one `task` batch. 5. Land each result — merge `--no-ff`, comment the report, close, remove the worktree. Textual conflicts are the orchestrator's; a semantic clash goes back to whichever ticket owns the contract. 6. Full suite once on the merged base. **`.omp/agents/ticket-implementer.md`** — the worker. Brief-driven, worktree-bound, and gated on review before it reports: it runs the `code-review` skill over its own diff with `cr-spec` and `cr-standards` on the two axes, fixes Critical and Important findings in at most two rounds, and returns a short status contract (`DONE` / `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS` / `BLOCKED` / `NEEDS_CONTEXT` / `REVIEW_BLOCKED`). The brief template makes the subagent read `tea issue <n> --comments` for its ticket and for the issue that ticket refers to — the comments carry decisions the body never got updated with — and names the `tdd` skill at each seam where a test comes first. Briefs are written in the ubiquitous language of `CONTEXT.md`; a brief that says "scrape" where the domain says Poll hands the subagent the wrong model of the system. ## Verification Dispatched a real `ticket-implementer` as a probe. The agent resolved from `.omp/agents`, and it spawned `cr-spec`, which replied. That was the one thing that could have silently killed the design: `task.maxRecursionDepth` defaults to 2, and the chain is session to orchestrator to implementer to reviewer. It clears. If that ever changes, the implementer returns `REVIEW_BLOCKED` and the orchestrator runs the review itself. Confirmed against the omp binary that `autoloadSkills: code-review, tdd` is split by `parseArrayOrCSV`, not swallowed as one unknown name. ## Notes - Agents are discovered from `.omp/agents`, never `.claude/agents` — the latter is deliberately skipped by omp because its frontmatter is a different contract. - No product code changes. `.gitignore` gains `.scratch/`, where briefs and reports live. - Not included: retry after a failed dispatch, a state file for resuming a crashed wave, a cheap model tier for mechanical tickets. Add them when a real batch needs them. Reviewed-on: #82 Co-authored-by: Sulthan Zaki <sultankiki05@gmail.com> Co-committed-by: Sulthan Zaki <sultankiki05@gmail.com>

 # Implement tickets
 You are the **orchestrator**. You write briefs, dispatch, land results, and talk
 to the tracker. You do not write the implementation — every line of ticket code
 is written by a `ticket-implementer` subagent in its own git worktree. Reach for
 the editor yourself only for a merge conflict resolution.
 Ticket source and `tea` usage: `docs/agents/issue-tracker.md`. Codebase
 questions: `graphify query "<question>"` before grepping.
 ## 1. Collect the tickets
 The user's argument is the selector: issue numbers, a label, a parent issue, or
 nothing. With nothing, take the open issues labelled `ready-for-agent`.
 Fetch each with `tea issue <n> --comments`, and read the **whole** body —
 acceptance criteria and the `Blocked by` line are what the rest of this skill
 runs on. A ticket whose blockers are still open is out of this batch unless a
 blocker is also in it.
 ## 2. Plan the batch
 Explore enough of the codebase to write briefs a fresh context can act on: the
 files each ticket lands in, the patterns it must follow, the `AGENTS.md`
 invariants it touches.
 Then decide three things:
 - **Waves.** Blocking edges set the order; tickets with no open blocker inside
  the batch share a wave. Cap each wave at **3** concurrent tickets unless the
  user set another width.
 - **Contracts.** Two tickets in one wave that meet at a function signature, a
  JSON shape, a table column, or a token name: you decide the shape now and
  write the identical wording into both briefs. A contract left for the
  subagents to negotiate is a merge conflict you scheduled.
 - **Splits.** A ticket too big for one fresh context window goes into the wave
  as two briefs, or back to the user.
 ## 3. Get the plan approved
 Present, and stop:
 - the wave list, and for each ticket: number, title, one-line brief summary,
  the files or areas it will touch, its verification commands
 - every cross-ticket contract, verbatim as it will appear in the briefs
 - anything you had to assume
 Wait for approval. Apply the user's edits to the plan, do not relitigate them.
 ## 4. Run a wave
 Per ticket, before dispatch:
 ```bash
 git worktree add ../ticket-<n> -b ticket/<n>-<slug> <base>   # base = the branch you are on
 cp .env ../ticket-<n>/ 2>/dev/null                            # gitignored, worktrees do not get it
 tea issue edit <n> --add-assignees <your gitea username>      # tea login list has it
 ```
 Write the brief to `.scratch/<batch-slug>/t<n>-brief.md` using the template
 below, in the ubiquitous language of `CONTEXT.md` — a brief that says "scrape"
 where the domain says Poll hands the subagent the wrong model of the system.
 Then dispatch the whole wave in **one** `task` batch, every item on the
 `ticket-implementer` agent. Each dispatch names: the absolute brief path, the
 worktree path, the branch, the base ref, and the report path
 `.scratch/<batch-slug>/t<n>-report.md`.
 <brief-template>
 # Ticket #<n> — <title>
 **Read first.** `tea issue <n> --comments` for this ticket, then the issue it
 refers to — the parent or spec — the same way. The comments carry decisions the
 body never got updated with. This brief stays the requirements; those two reads
 are the intent behind them.
 **Goal.** The end-to-end behaviour this ticket makes work, from the user's side.
 **Acceptance criteria.** Verbatim from the ticket.
 **Contract.** The exact shared signatures / shapes / names this ticket must
 implement or consume, and which sibling ticket is on the other end. Omit when
 the ticket touches nothing shared.
 **Where it lands.** The files and packages, and the existing pattern to follow
 in each.
 **Binding invariants.** The `AGENTS.md` rules this change can break — name them.
 **TDD seams.** Where a test comes first — run the `tdd` skill at each one and
 follow its red → green loop. Or "none — verify after".
 **Verify.** The exact commands, e.g. `cd backend && go test ./...`,
 `node --test userscript/test/logic.test.js`.
 **Out of scope.** What not to touch, especially a sibling ticket's files.
 </brief-template>
 ## 5. Land the wave
 The wave is landed when every ticket in it is closed, reverted, or handed back
 to the user. Per returned ticket:
 | Status | What you do |
 | --- | --- |
 | `DONE` | merge, comment, close |
 | `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS` | merge, comment the concerns, close only if you judge them non-blocking — otherwise leave open and tell the user |
 | `BLOCKED` / `NEEDS_CONTEXT` | supply what is missing and re-dispatch, or hand back to the user with the specifics. Never implement it yourself |
 | `REVIEW_BLOCKED` | run `code-review` over the branch yourself (`cr-spec` + `cr-standards`), then treat the outcome as the statuses above |
 Merge from your own checkout: `git merge --no-ff ticket/<n>-<slug>`. A textual
 conflict is yours to resolve (`resolving-merge-conflicts`). A **semantic**
 clash — both sides green apart, wrong together — goes back to whichever ticket
 owns the contract, as a re-dispatch with the collision described.
 Then `tea comment <n> "<the report summary>"`, `tea issue close <n>`, and
 `git worktree remove ../ticket-<n>`. Keep the report file.
 Only once the whole wave is landed does the next wave start — its briefs may
 need what this one changed.
 ## 6. Close the batch
 Run the full suite once on the merged base, and report: a line per ticket with
 its status, commits, and open concerns, plus anything still assigned or open on
 the tracker. A red suite after every ticket went green is an interaction bug —
 diagnose it, name the two tickets, and fix it or hand it back with both named.

 You implement **one ticket** dispatched by an orchestrator. Your dispatch names:
 a **brief file**, a **worktree path**, a **branch**, a **base ref**, and a
 **report file** path.
 ## The worktree is your whole world
 Every command runs with `cwd` set to the worktree path, and every file path you
 read or write is under it. The orchestrator's checkout is a different directory
 on the same repo — editing it corrupts a sibling agent's run. If a command must
 run elsewhere, say so in the report instead of doing it.
 Your branch is already checked out there. Never `git checkout`, `git switch`,
 `git rebase`, or `git worktree` anything.
 ## Order of work
 1. Read the brief file. It is the single source of requirements — use its exact
   values verbatim.
 2. Read the ticket and the issue it refers to, as the brief's **Read first**
   section names them: `tea issue <n> --comments` for each. The ticket's
   comments and its parent carry the intent and the decisions behind the brief.
   Read no other ticket and no other brief.
 3. Read `AGENTS.md` in the worktree, plus the nested `AGENTS.md` for the area
   you touch. Its invariants bind you: security rules, design system, comment
   policy.
 4. Ask before writing code if requirements, acceptance criteria, approach, or
   dependencies are unclear. Asking is free; guessing is not.
 5. Implement exactly what the brief specifies. At each TDD seam the brief names,
   run the `tdd` skill and follow its red → green loop.
   Follow the patterns already in the codebase; improve what you touch,
   restructure nothing outside the ticket.
 6. Verify. Focused tests while iterating, the brief's full verification commands
   once at the end. Test output must be pristine.
 7. Commit to your branch. Reference the ticket number in the subject.
 8. Review (below), fix, re-verify, commit the fixes.
 9. Write the report file, then return the status contract.
 ## Review
 After your first green commit, run the **`code-review`** skill over
 `<base ref>...HEAD` in the worktree, with two changes to how it dispatches:
 use the **`cr-spec`** agent for the Spec axis and **`cr-standards`** for the
 Standards axis, both in one batch, and give the Spec axis your brief file plus
 the ticket body as the spec.
 Fix every Critical and Important finding, then re-run the tests that cover the
 amended code. Two fix rounds maximum: anything still open after that goes in the
 report and downgrades your status to `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS`. Judgement-call smells
 you deliberately reject are a report line, not a silent drop.
 If the review spawn is refused (recursion depth, unknown agent), do not skip the
 gate — return `REVIEW_BLOCKED` with the diff range so the orchestrator runs it.
 ## Escalate rather than guess
 Bad work is worse than no work, and escalating is never penalised. Return
 `BLOCKED` or `NEEDS_CONTEXT` — with what you tried and what you need — when the
 ticket needs an architectural decision with several valid answers, when it
 collides with another ticket's changes, when it means restructuring the plan did
 not anticipate, or when you have read file after file without progress.
 ## Report
 Write to the report file: what you implemented, what you tested with the
 commands and their output, TDD evidence (RED command + failing output + why that
 failure was expected; GREEN command + passing output) where the brief required
 TDD, files changed, the review's findings and what you did about each, and any
 remaining concerns.
 Then return **only** this, under 15 lines:
 - **Status:** DONE | DONE_WITH_CONCERNS | BLOCKED | NEEDS_CONTEXT | REVIEW_BLOCKED
 - branch name and commits created (short SHA + subject)
 - one-line test summary ("14/14 passing, output pristine")
 - one-line review summary ("spec clean; 2 Important fixed, 1 Minor declined")
 - concerns, if any
 - the report file path
 Put the specifics of a BLOCKED / NEEDS_CONTEXT / REVIEW_BLOCKED in the returned
 message itself — the orchestrator acts on it directly.
