Field percentages are editorial estimates of the ticket's engineering focus. They total 100%; they are not measured time, proficiency scores, or ownership evidence.

Your next step

Review it, then add it to your workspace.

The board opens an editable draft; nothing is saved until you confirm it. Sign-in and workspace permissions apply, and Demo boards remain ephemeral.

Project context

Fictional learning app Birch offers synthetic text and small local media fixtures through a loopback adapter. No copyrighted course assets or network accounts are needed.

Setup prerequisites

  • Create small local byte fixtures and a range-response stub.
  • Simulate low storage, interruptions and stale manifests.

Preceding work

Complete these dependencies, or supply their agreed outputs before taking this ticket.

Acceptance criteria

  • Admission accounts for active transfers
  • Failure preserves existing content
  • User sees required space

Implementation constraints

  • Reservation estimates must state uncertainty.

Verification to include

  • Admit fitting transfer
  • Start competing transfers exceeding budget

Deliverables

  • Storage admission policy

Rollout and recovery

Stop new transfers while preserving installed courses.

Value of the work

For the engineer: Practice mobile file lifecycles and background state recovery.

For the team: Inspect predictable resource usage and truthful download status.

Evidence boundaries

Outcome Evidence: Tests, patches, and runbooks are requested deliverables. They become Outcome Evidence only through a qualified Mission and immutable Evidence IDs.

Ownership Evidence: Independent adaptation must be observed under a declared verification policy and cite immutable Evidence IDs. Completing a planning ticket establishes no Ownership Evidence.
