+
+### Phase 35.3 — Team Surfaces: Ticket Sync (Linear + Jira) — completes Phase 35
+
+Third and **FINAL** sub-phase of the split **Phase 35 (Team Surfaces Layer)** — completing it marks the **parent Phase 35 COMPLETE** (PR-inline 35.1 + Notification 35.2 + Ticket-sync 35.3 all shipped). Wires GDD ↔ Linear/Jira bidirectionally: it reads a linked ticket's comments as cycle context (via the decision-injector) and, on cycle completion, transitions the ticket + posts a redacted summary. **MCP-based** (`mcp__linear__*` / `mcp__atlassian__*`) — no bundled SDK, no new outbound egress. Every outbound body is redacted; per-system kill-switches + degrade-to-noop guarantee ticket-sync never gates the cycle.
+
+### Added
+
+- **`connections/linear.md` + `connections/jira.md`** — MCP-based bidirectional ticket-sync connections (Linear MCP / Atlassian MCP; ToolSearch probe, redact + kill-switch + degrade-to-noop). Onboarded 16 → 18.
+- **`agents/ticket-sync-agent.md`** — reads linked-ticket comments on `.design/**.md` open (decision-injector), maintains the STATE `<ticket_links>` block, and on cycle completion transitions the ticket + posts a **redacted** summary via the MCP tools. `size_budget: M`, `## Record`; tracker-wins conflict resolution.
+- **`reference/ticket-sync.md`** — the `<ticket_links>` schema + read/write flow + the default status-transition map + redact + kill-switch contract; registered in `reference/registry.json`.
+- **`connections/connections.md`** — a **ticket-sync** capability-matrix column + Linear/Jira rows + ToolSearch probes.
+
+### Notes
+
+- **No new runtime dependency** (MCP tools, no Linear/Jira SDK) and **no new egress** (`scan:outbound` unchanged — GDD calls MCP tools, not raw HTTP). Per-system kill-switch `GDD_DISABLE_LINEAR` / `GDD_DISABLE_JIRA`.
+- 6-manifest lockstep at **v1.35.3** + `OFF_CADENCE_VERSIONS.add('1.35.3')` + the 21 live-pinned `manifests-version.txt` baselines forward-propagated 1.35.2 → 1.35.3.
+- The 31.5 tarball golden was regenerated as a reviewed delta: **+4** (`connections/linear.md`, `connections/jira.md`, `agents/ticket-sync-agent.md`, `reference/ticket-sync.md`), zero removals.
+- **This completes the parent Phase 35 (Team Surfaces Layer) — PR inline + notifications + ticket sync.**
+
+---
+
+## [1.35.2] - 2026-06-01
+
+### Phase 35.2 — Team Surfaces: Notification Backplane (Slack + Discord)
+
+Second sub-phase of the split **Phase 35**. Routes GDD pipeline events (verify-fail, audit-pass, ship) to **Slack + Discord** via incoming webhooks, so a non-GDD-running teammate is alerted in the channel they watch. **No new runtime dependency** — the dispatcher POSTs via an injectable `fetchImpl` (default global `fetch`; no `@slack/*` / `discord.js` SDK). Every outbound body is **redacted** at a single chokepoint; per-channel kill-switches + degrade-to-noop guarantee notification delivery never blocks the pipeline. A decimal on the v1.35.x arc. The parent Phase 35 stays open (35.3 Ticket Sync remains).
+
+### Added
+
+- **`connections/slack.md` + `connections/discord.md`** — incoming-webhook notification specs (`SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL` / `DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL` env; env-presence probe; redact + kill-switch + degrade-to-noop).
+- **`scripts/lib/notify/dispatch.cjs`** — `dispatch(event, {fetchImpl, config, env})`: resolves event→channel routing, builds the **redacted** payload (single chokepoint), honors per-channel kill-switches, POSTs via an **injectable fetchImpl** (no Slack/Discord SDK), and **degrades-to-noop** (missing URL / disabled / error never throws). Allowlisted under the Phase-33.5 outbound gate (`scripts/lib/notify/**`); `scan:outbound` 0 findings.
+- **`reference/notification-routing.md`** — event→channel routing contract + the redact chokepoint + kill-switches; registered in `reference/registry.json`.
+- **`connections/connections.md`** — a **notify** capability-matrix column + Slack/Discord rows + env-based probes; onboarded 14 → 16.
+- **Privacy guard** — `test/suite/notify-privacy-guard.test.cjs` asserts no `scripts/lib/notify/*.cjs` builds an outbound body without `redact` (SC#5).
+
+### Notes
+
+- **No new runtime dependency** (injectable `fetch`); per-channel kill-switch `GDD_DISABLE_SLACK` / `GDD_DISABLE_DISCORD` mirrors Phase 30 / 35.1.
+- 6-manifest lockstep at **v1.35.2** + `OFF_CADENCE_VERSIONS.add('1.35.2')` + the 20 live-pinned `manifests-version.txt` baselines forward-propagated 1.35.1 → 1.35.2.

 After `/gdd:ship` opens the PR, the [`pr-commenter`](agents/pr-commenter.md) agent posts GDD's verify/audit output **inline** on it: selector-specific findings as inline review comments on changed lines, Preview/Chromatic before-after screenshot pairs, and a `gdd/design-review` status check (audit pillar scores + verify pass/fail + a11y) that a teammate's branch protection can require. Outbound bodies are redacted; `GDD_DISABLE_PR_COMMENTER` (or `.design/config.json`) is the kill-switch; it degrades to a noop (prints bodies for manual paste) and **never fails the ship**. Uses `gh` only — **no new runtime dependency**. First sub-phase of the Team Surfaces layer (Slack/Discord notifications + Linear/Jira ticket-sync follow). Contract: [`reference/pr-review-integration.md`](reference/pr-review-integration.md).
 
+### Team surfaces — Notification backplane (v1.35.2)
+
+Routes pipeline events (verify-fail / audit-pass / ship) to **Slack** + **Discord** via incoming webhooks ([`connections/slack.md`](connections/slack.md) / [`connections/discord.md`](connections/discord.md)). The dispatcher ([`scripts/lib/notify/dispatch.cjs`](scripts/lib/notify/dispatch.cjs)) redacts every body at a single chokepoint, honors per-channel kill-switches (`GDD_DISABLE_SLACK` / `GDD_DISABLE_DISCORD`), and degrades to a noop when a webhook URL is unset — notification never blocks the pipeline. **No new runtime dependency** (injectable `fetch`, no Slack/Discord SDK). Routing: [`reference/notification-routing.md`](reference/notification-routing.md).
+
+### Team surfaces — Ticket sync (v1.35.3)
+
+Links a design cycle to a **Linear** or **Jira** ticket and keeps them in sync ([`connections/linear.md`](connections/linear.md) / [`connections/jira.md`](connections/jira.md), MCP-based). [`agents/ticket-sync-agent.md`](agents/ticket-sync-agent.md) surfaces the linked ticket's comments as context when a design file opens (via the decision-injector) and, on `/gdd:complete-cycle`, transitions the ticket + posts a **redacted** summary. Per-system kill-switches (`GDD_DISABLE_LINEAR` / `GDD_DISABLE_JIRA`); degrade-to-noop (never gates the cycle). **No new runtime dependency, no new egress** (MCP tools only). Contract: [`reference/ticket-sync.md`](reference/ticket-sync.md). **Completes the Team Surfaces layer** (PR inline + notifications + ticket sync).

+# ticket-sync-agent
+
+## Role
+
+You keep a GDD design cycle and its linked **Linear/Jira ticket** in sync — the team's tracker reflects design progress without anyone re-typing it. You run on two triggers: (1) **read** — when a `.design/**.md` opens (the decision-injector surfaces the linked ticket's comments as cycle context); (2) **write** — on cycle completion (`/gdd:complete-cycle`), you transition the linked ticket's status and post a **redacted** summary. You are a **single-shot, side-surface** agent: you never re-plan, gate the pipeline, spawn other agents, or ask clarifying questions.
+
+You are an **agent-prompt**, not a service: you reach Linear via `mcp__linear__*` and Jira via the Atlassian MCP (`mcp__atlassian__*`) — **ToolSearch-resolved**, no `@linear/sdk`/jira SDK, no raw HTTP from GDD scripts (D-02). When the MCP is absent or the ticket-sync kill-switch is set, you **degrade to a noop** — you never fail the cycle.
+
+---
+
+## Required Reading
+
+- `.design/STATE.md` — the `<connections>` block (`linear`/`jira` status) + the `<ticket_links>` block (cycle → ticket map).
+- `.design/DESIGN-VERIFICATION.md` + `.design/DESIGN-AUDIT.md` (write path) — the summary source.
+- **`reference/ticket-sync.md`** — the authoritative `<ticket_links>` STATE schema + the read/write flow + the redact + kill-switch contract. You sync against this; you do not re-derive it.
+- `connections/linear.md` / `connections/jira.md` — the per-system probe + MCP-tool detail.
+
+---
+
+## Kill-switch + degrade (check FIRST)
+
+1. **Kill-switch.** `GDD_DISABLE_LINEAR=1` / `GDD_DISABLE_JIRA=1` (env) OR `.design/config.json` `ticket_sync.<service>.enabled === false` → that system is a noop.
+2. **Availability.** `ToolSearch({ query: "linear" })` / `ToolSearch({ query: "atlassian jira" })` — empty → `not_configured` → noop for that system. Resolve the exact tool names from the result before any call.
+3. **Link present.** No `<ticket_links>` entry for this cycle → nothing to sync (read path: nothing to surface; write path: noop). Never error.
+
+---
+
+## Read path (decision-injector — `.design/**.md` open)
+
+If the cycle has a `<ticket_links>` entry and the system is `available`: fetch the linked ticket's recent comments (via the resolved MCP tool), and surface them as cycle context (a short, **redacted** digest the decision-injector injects). Do not write anything on the read path.
+
+## Write path (cycle completion)
+
+On `/gdd:complete-cycle`, for each linked + available system: transition the ticket status per `reference/ticket-sync.md` (e.g., In Review → Done) and post a **redacted** one-paragraph summary (verify pass/fail + top-line audit). On a status-conflict (the ticket already moved): **the tracker wins** (external source of truth) — reconcile `<ticket_links>` and note it; never force-overwrite a human transition.
+
+## Redaction (mandatory, D-04)
+
+Every body written to a ticket (status comment, summary) passes through `scripts/lib/redact.cjs`. No raw artifact excerpt reaches Linear/Jira un-redacted.
+
+---
+
+## Execution Principles
+
+1. **Side surface, not a gate.** Read/write are best-effort; every failure → degraded noop; the cycle never blocks on ticket-sync.
+2. **Redact everything outbound (D-04).** Single chokepoint.
+3. **Observable outcomes only.** Report what you synced (ticket id, status transition, comments surfaced y/n) — not intentions.
+4. **`reference/ticket-sync.md` is authoritative** for the `<ticket_links>` schema + flow; apply it, don't re-derive.
+5. **Decision authority:** in-context → proceed; out-of-context (architectural, contradicts a locked D-XX, a new external API) → Rule 4: STOP, note it, emit the marker.
+6. **Single scope.** Touch only `.design/STATE.md` `<ticket_links>` + the record line; no repo files.
+
+---
+
+## Deviation Rules
+
+- **Rule 1 — Bug:** a wrong ticket id, an un-redacted body, a malformed `<ticket_links>` write → fix inline.
+- **Rule 2 — Missing Critical:** a linked ticket not transitioned on completion, redact not applied, the comment-surface skipped → add it.
+- **Rule 3 — Blocking:** MCP absent / unauth, no link, kill-switch on → **degrade to noop** (not an error); note it.
+- **Rule 4 — Architectural:** switching off MCP to a bundled SDK, adding a network dependency, auto-creating tickets → STOP, note it, emit the marker.
+
+**Fix attempt limit:** 3 attempts per MCP call; then degrade + continue.
+
+---
+
+## Output
+
+State: the system(s) synced, the ticket id(s), the status transition (write) or comments surfaced (read), and any degraded-noop reason. Do not modify repo files. Terminate with exactly:
+
+```
+## EXECUTION COMPLETE
+```
+
+---
+
+## Constraints
+
+This agent MUST NOT:
+
+- Run `git clean` (any flags).
+- Fail the cycle — every failure degrades to a noop.
+- Add a Linear/Jira SDK or any network dependency — MCP tools only (D-02).
+- Post any body to a ticket without `scripts/lib/redact.cjs` (D-04).
+- Create or triage tickets (sync an already-linked ticket only — issue creation is Phase 30).
+- Force-overwrite a human status transition (the tracker wins on conflict).
+- Modify the plan/context/connection index or any repo file; re-plan; spawn other agents; ask clarifying questions; or `git add .`/`-A`.
+
+---
+
+## Record
+
+At run-end, append one JSONL line to `.design/intel/insights.jsonl`:

+```json

+# Discord — Connection Specification
+
+This file is the connection specification for Discord within the get-design-done pipeline. It lives in `connections/` alongside other connection specs. See `connections/connections.md` for the full connection index and capability matrix (the discord row is added at the 35.2 closeout).
+
+---
+
+Discord is a **notification surface** for the Team Surfaces layer — the parity of `connections/slack.md`. GDD routes pipeline events (verify-fail, audit-pass, ship) to a Discord channel via a **channel Webhook**. Outbound only; every body is redacted; delivery degrades to a noop when unconfigured or disabled. The contract is identical to Slack — only the webhook host and the payload field (`content` vs Slack's `text`) differ.
+
+---
+
+## Setup
+
+**Prerequisites:** a Discord **channel Webhook** URL (Channel → Edit → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook → Copy Webhook URL → `https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...`).
+
+**Token (env, never committed):**
+
+```bash
+export DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL="https://discord.com/api/webhooks/XXX/YYY"
+```
+
+The webhook URL is a credential — never commit it, never log it, rotate if exposed. GDD reads it from env only.
+
+**Verification:**
+
+```bash
+test -n "${DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL}" && echo "discord webhook present" || echo "discord webhook absent"
+```
+
+---
+
+## What GDD sends
+
+The notify dispatcher (`scripts/lib/notify/dispatch.cjs`) posts a routed, **redacted** message for pipeline events, using the same routing as Slack (`reference/notification-routing.md`, overridable in `.design/config.json#notifications`): `verify_fail` → critical, `audit_pass`/`ship` → digest.
+
+Discord payload shape: `{ "content": "<redacted summary>" }` (Discord's field is `content`, not Slack's `text`). No embeds in v1.
+
+## Redaction (mandatory)
+
+Every body passes through `scripts/lib/redact.cjs` before the POST (the single egress chokepoint; asserted by `test/suite/notify-privacy-guard.test.cjs`).
+
+## Kill-switch
+
+Noop when **either** `GDD_DISABLE_DISCORD=1` (env) **or** `.design/config.json` `"notifications": { "discord": { "enabled": false } }`. `gsd-health` surfaces it.
+
+## Availability probe (env-based, no MCP)
+
+```bash
+test -n "${DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL}"
+```
+
+- Non-empty AND not disabled → `discord: available`
+- Empty → `discord: not_configured`
+- Present but a POST errored → `discord: unavailable`
+
+Write `discord` status to `.design/STATE.md` `<connections>`.
+
+## Degrade-to-noop
+
+Missing `DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL`, kill-switch on, or a POST failure → skipped (no error); the pipeline never blocks (D-03). The dispatcher returns `{ channel: "discord", status: "skipped"|"sent"|"error" }` and never throws.

Linear is the sibling surface (`connections/linear.md`).

+# Notification Routing — the event→channel contract for `scripts/lib/notify/dispatch.cjs`
+
+How GDD routes pipeline events to the Team-Surfaces notification channels (Slack + Discord), redacts every outbound body, and degrades to a noop when a channel is unconfigured or disabled. Consumed by `scripts/lib/notify/dispatch.cjs`; the channel specs are `connections/slack.md` + `connections/discord.md`.
+
+---
+
+## Default routing
+
+Event type → channels (overridable via `.design/config.json#notifications.routing`):
+
+| Event | Meaning | Default channels |
+|---|---|---|
+| `verify_fail` | a verify must-have failed | slack + discord (the "critical" surface) |
+| `audit_pass` | an audit cleared the quality floor | slack + discord (the "digest" surface) |
+| `ship` | a PR was created (`/gdd:ship`) | slack + discord (digest — PR URL + top-line audit) |
+
+A user narrows or splits this in `.design/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "notifications": {
+    "routing": { "verify_fail": ["slack"], "audit_pass": ["discord"], "ship": ["slack", "discord"] },
+    "slack":   { "enabled": true },
+    "discord": { "enabled": false }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Unlisted event types route to nothing (no notification). Unknown channels are skipped.
+
+## Redaction (mandatory — the single chokepoint)
+
+`dispatch(event)` builds the outbound body as `redact(summary + "\n" + details)` using `scripts/lib/redact.cjs` (11 secret/token patterns, Phase 22 + 33.5) **before** any POST. There is exactly one egress chokepoint; no notify path constructs an un-redacted outbound body. The static test `test/suite/notify-privacy-guard.test.cjs` asserts every `scripts/lib/notify/*.cjs` references `redact`.
+
+## Kill-switches (per channel)
+
+A channel is a noop when **either**:
+
+- env `GDD_DISABLE_SLACK=1` / `GDD_DISABLE_DISCORD=1`, or
+- `.design/config.json` `notifications.<channel>.enabled === false`.
+
+`gsd-health` surfaces each channel's enabled/disabled state (mirrors the Phase 30 + 35.1 kill-switch pattern).
+
+## Outbound transport (no SDK, injectable, allowlisted)
+
+`dispatch(event, { fetchImpl, config, env })` POSTs `{ <field>: body }` to the channel's webhook URL (Slack `text`, Discord `content`) via an **injectable `fetchImpl`** (defaults to global `fetch`) — **no `@slack/*` / `discord.js` dependency** (D-02). Tests inject a stub fetchImpl (no live network — D-08). The module is allowlisted under the Phase-33.5 outbound gate (`scripts/security/outbound-allowlist.json` → `scripts/lib/notify/**`) with a threat-model egress entry.
+
+## Degrade-to-noop (never blocks the pipeline)
+
+For each routed channel, a missing webhook URL → `skipped (not_configured)`; kill-switch on → `skipped (disabled)`; a POST failure → `error` (logged, not thrown). `dispatch` returns `Array<{ channel, status, reason? }>` and **never throws** — notification delivery is a best-effort side surface, never a pipeline gate (D-03).
+
+## Out of scope (per Phase 35 split)
+
+Linear/Jira ticket-sync (Phase 35.3); PR-inline (35.1); `pseudonymize.cjs` identity-masking (Phase 30 — wired when available; redact for secrets is the must here); Microsoft Teams; rich blocks/embeds (plain text in v1); scheduled digests (event-driven only).

+# Ticket Sync — the `<ticket_links>` contract for `agents/ticket-sync-agent.md`
+
+How GDD links a design cycle to a Linear/Jira ticket, reads its comments as context, and writes a redacted status update on completion — all via MCP tools (no raw HTTP, no bundled SDK). The per-system probe + tool detail live in `connections/linear.md` + `connections/jira.md`.
+
+---
+
+## The `<ticket_links>` STATE block
+
+GDD records the cycle→ticket map in `.design/STATE.md`:
+
+```xml
+<ticket_links>
+cycle: <cycle-id>
+linear: ABC-123
+jira: PROJ-45
+</ticket_links>
+```
+
+- A cycle may link a Linear issue, a Jira issue, both, or neither.
+- The link is set by the user (or a future `/gdd:link-ticket`); the agent **reads** it, never invents a link.
+- No link for the current cycle → the agent is a noop on both paths.
+
+## Read path (decision-injector — `.design/**.md` open)
+
+When a design artifact opens and the cycle has a link to an `available` system, the agent fetches the linked ticket's recent comments (via the resolved `mcp__linear__*` / `mcp__atlassian__*` tool) and surfaces a short **redacted** digest as cycle context — so a decision made in the ticket reaches the pipeline. Read-only; nothing is written on this path.
+
+## Write path (`/gdd:complete-cycle`)
+
+On cycle completion, for each linked + available system:
+
+1. **Transition** the ticket status — the default map (overridable in `.design/config.json#ticket_sync.transitions`):
+
+   | Cycle outcome | Ticket transition |
+   |---|---|
+   | verify passed | → Done / Closed |
+   | verify failed | → In Progress (reopened) |
+   | shipped (PR open) | → In Review |
+
+2. **Post** a **redacted** one-paragraph summary (verify pass/fail + top-line audit + PR URL if present) via the ticket's comment tool.
+
+## Conflict resolution (tracker wins)
+
+If the ticket's current status diverges from what `<ticket_links>` last recorded (a human moved it), **the tracker is the source of truth** — the agent reconciles `<ticket_links>` to the tracker's state and posts an explicit "GDD observed an external status change; reconciling" note, rather than force-overwriting the human transition. (ROADMAP Phase-35 open-Q default.)
+
+## Redaction (mandatory)
+
+Every body written to a ticket — the status comment, the summary — passes through `scripts/lib/redact.cjs` (11 secret/token patterns) before the MCP call. The agent is the single egress chokepoint; no raw artifact excerpt reaches Linear/Jira.
+
+## Kill-switches (per system)
+
+A system is a noop when **either** `GDD_DISABLE_LINEAR=1` / `GDD_DISABLE_JIRA=1` (env) **or** `.design/config.json` `ticket_sync.<service>.enabled === false`. `gsd-health` surfaces each system's state (mirrors Phase 30 / 35.1 / 35.2).
+
+## Degrade-to-noop (never blocks the cycle)
+
+`not_configured` (MCP absent) / disabled / no link / an MCP error → the agent skips that system and **never throws** into the pipeline — ticket-sync is a best-effort side surface, never a cycle gate (D-04).
+
+## Out of scope (per Phase 35 split)
+
+PR-inline (35.1); Slack/Discord notifications (35.2); issue **creation**/triage (Phase 30 territory — this is sync of an already-linked ticket); a bundled Linear/Jira SDK (MCP-based, D-02); `pseudonymize.cjs` (Phase 30 — redact for secrets is the must here); Microsoft Teams / Asana.
