Document milestone/rollup pattern for specs across trackers - #52
Merged
Conversation
Give a spec published to a real tracker a milestone named for the feature, and roll its tickets up into it, so the tracker shows one progress bar for the whole feature. The milestone is a rollup, not the spec's home: the spec-labelled issue stays canonical (ADR-0025) and the native sub-issue links are unchanged. launch-spec creates the milestone and adds the spec issue; launch-tickets assigns every ticket to the same one. Per-tracker commands live in the issue-tracker adapter docs (GitHub/GitLab native milestones, Linear project milestones); local mode has none.

Summary
Add comprehensive documentation for the milestone/rollup pattern that bundles specs with their tickets across GitHub, GitLab, and Linear trackers. This pattern provides a human-facing progress view while keeping the
spec-labeled issue as the canonical artifact per ADR-0025.Changes
GitHub tracker docs (
issue-tracker-github.md): Added "The spec's milestone (rollup view)" section explaining milestone creation, ticket assignment, and progress tracking via GitHub's native milestone feature.GitLab tracker docs (
issue-tracker-gitlab.md): Added equivalent section for GitLab milestones (project or group-level), with GitLab-specific API commands and field access patterns.Linear tracker docs (
issue-tracker-linear.md): Added "The spec's rollup (milestone)" section covering Linear's project milestone pattern as the rollup mechanism, with guidance on when to skip if no project is configured.Local mode docs (
issue-tracker-local.md): Clarified that local mode has no milestones — the.scratch/<feature-slug>/directory itself serves as the feature bundle, with progress tracked by closed issue files.launch-spec skill docs (
launch-spec/SKILL.md): Added guidance that real trackers should create a milestone named for the feature, assign the spec issue to it, and set its description to a one-line goal plus a link back to the spec issue.launch-tickets skill docs (
launch-tickets/SKILL.md): Updated to note that tickets should also be assigned to the spec's milestone, making the milestone the rollup view for the entire feature.Implementation Details
