Give support a useful report when the console fails
On-call receives screenshots saying It stopped working with no clue whether loading, assignment, or sending failed. Add redacted diagnostics and a release handoff.

Field percentages are editorial estimates of the ticket's engineering focus. They total 100%; they are not measured time, proficiency scores, or ownership evidence.
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.
- DESK-101 · Keep shared queue links useful after refresh
- DESK-102 · Separate an empty queue from a failed request
- DESK-103 · Stop a late search response replacing the current queue
- DESK-106 · Show assignment conflicts without pretending a save worked
- DESK-107 · Report partial bulk-close results per ticket
- DESK-104 · Restore the right reply draft when switching tickets
- DESK-108 · Reconcile an uncertain reply send after a connection drop
- DESK-105 · Make ticket switching predictable from the keyboard
- DESK-109 · Keep a long conversation responsive without hiding context
Acceptance criteria
- Diagnostics include build version, operation category, timestamp, and safe correlation ID.
- Customer text, drafts, tokens, and raw responses are excluded.
- Copying diagnostics after failure preserves current draft and navigation.
Implementation constraints
- Use a field allowlist and document the owner of each operation category.
Verification to include
- Trigger sending failure and match its correlation ID to the synthetic trace.
- Put secret-like strings in messages and errors; copied diagnostics contain none.
Deliverables
- Redacted diagnostics panel and one-page console runbook
Rollout and recovery
Enable diagnostic copying for the pilot; hide it immediately if excluded content appears.
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.
