Report partial bulk-close results per ticket

Practice briefStoryAdvanced

Closing 25 conversations returns 22 successes, two permission denials, and one revision conflict. Today a green toast appears and every selected row disappears.

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

The fictional Alder support team handles billing and delivery conversations in a browser console. Agents keep several tickets open, share filtered queues, and work through unreliable office Wi-Fi. The API contract returns ticket revisions and cursor-based pages; work stays within the console and its test adapter.

Setup prerequisites

  • A ticket-list and reply API contract to implement or stub
  • Synthetic conversations across two organizations with revision conflicts

Preceding work

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

Acceptance criteria

  • Successful IDs leave the queue only if its filter excludes closed work.
  • Denied and conflicting tickets remain selected with individual reasons.
  • Retry targets retryable failures without replaying confirmed closes.

Implementation constraints

  • Interpret the result per ID; a successful HTTP status does not mean every item succeeded.

Verification to include

  • Run mixed outcomes and compare row visibility and selection with each result.
  • Inspect retry IDs; denied and already closed items are excluded.

Deliverables

  • Bulk result summary and mixed-outcome integration test

Rollout and recovery

Limit the first release to 25 tickets; disable bulk close while retaining individual close on regression.

Value of the work

For the engineer: Practice state ownership, asynchronous races, accessible interaction, and recovery in bounded changes.

For the team: Inspect how an engineer protects agent work and handles failures that interrupt support operations.

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.
