Issue Re-Triage After Foundation Lands

To re-triage blocked issues, provide the original blocked issue and the foundation seam context. The system evaluates repository state by inspecting code paths and tests to determine if the issue can safely start without reopening prerequisites.

You only reopen a prerequisite issue during triage if a real defect is found in the delivered foundation seam. If the existing seam is functional, the blocked issue proceeds without reopening prerequisite items.

Issue routing assigns the blocked issue to the first lane that owns the remaining work, prioritizing policy or design review before code. It identifies the narrowest safe seam for continuation based on repository state.

A foundation seam in issue management is a prerequisite code path or test boundary that blocks dependent work. Verifying this seam directly in the repository confirms whether previously blocked issues can now safely proceed.

Yes, you can start a blocked issue without reopening prerequisites if the foundation seam is verified in the code and tests. The workflow assigns the narrowest safe seam to continue work and avoid regressions.

The re-triage workflow requires accurate original blocker context and repository access to inspect code paths. It cannot proceed safely if the delivered foundation seam contains a real defect requiring prerequisite reopening.
