# MIME TODO Specification — Agent Instructions
This directory contains the MIME TODO specification, which defines the
canonical format for repository-root `TODO` issue tracker files.
## Consuming the Specification
The agent-consumable specification is located at:
```default
dist/markdown/
```
Agents MUST read the specification from `dist/markdown/` for programmatic
access. Do NOT parse the RST source under `src/` directly.
If `dist/markdown/` is not available locally, the specification
(including this `AGENTS.md`) can be retrieved from
`specs.code.tiararodney.com`:
- Specification: `https://specs.code.tiararodney.com/mime-todo/markdown/README.md`
- Agent instructions: `https://specs.code.tiararodney.com/mime-todo/markdown/AGENTS.md`
- Index: `https://specs.code.tiararodney.com/mime-todo/markdown/`
## What This Spec Defines
- MIME envelope structure and preprocessing rules
- Issue part format (`application/issue`): field ordering, field semantics,
valid values for Type, Status, Priority, and Relationships
- Sprint part format (`application/sprints`): entry grammar, date ranges
- Module part format (`application/modules`): module names and paths
- Bugzilla tracker part format (`application/bugzilla`): product/component
mappings, sync model, comment format
- Description block and body grammar (80-column wrap, column 14 indent)
- Issue immutability rules
- Status transition state machine and commit conventions
- Branch naming and lifecycle rules tied to issue Type and Status
- Sprint membership logic
- Preprocessor and parser requirements
- Error handling requirements
- CLI reference for spec-compliant issue management
## Interacting with the TODO File
Agents MUST use the `@byteb4rb1e/mime-todo` CLI for all interactions
with the `TODO` file. Do NOT edit the file directly or construct
transition commits manually.
### Issue Lifecycle
```sh
# Create an issue (must be on develop)
todo create --type feature --title "Title" --plan "Description"
# Start work (must be on develop)
todo start <id> --plan "Planned approach"
# Then create the branch: git checkout -b <type>/<id>
# Complete work (must be on <type>/<id>)
todo done <id> --summary "What was delivered"
# Hold or cancel
todo hold <id> --reason "Why"
todo cancel <id> --reason "Why"
```
### Querying
```sh
todo list # list all issues
todo show <id> # show issue details
todo sprints # list sprints
todo issues-in-sprint <name> # issues in a sprint
```
### Bugzilla Integration
```sh
todo init # check products/components exist
todo push # push commits to Bugzilla
todo push --dry-run # preview
```
### What Agents MUST NOT Do
- Edit the `TODO` file directly.
- Construct `todo(<ID>): <status>` commits manually.
- Modify issue fields other than `Status` (and only via the CLI).
- Push to Bugzilla outside of `todo push`.
- Modify the specification files.
## Rules for Agents
- Do NOT modify the specification files.
- Do NOT modify the RST source under `src/`.
- Changes to this specification MUST be made upstream in the vendor
repository.
## Maintaining This Repository
If you are explicitly invoked to maintain this specification repository
(building, publishing, or managing URLs), see `CONTRIBUTING.md` for
instructions.

License
By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree
to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons
Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License ("Public
License"). To the extent this Public License may be interpreted as a
contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights in consideration of Your
acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the Licensor grants You
such rights in consideration of benefits the Licensor receives from
making the Licensed Material available under these terms and
conditions.
Section 1 -- Definitions.
a. Adapted Material means material subject to Copyright and Similar
Rights that is derived from or based upon the Licensed Material
and in which the Licensed Material is translated, altered,
arranged, transformed, or otherwise modified in a manner requiring
permission under the Copyright and Similar Rights held by the
Licensor. For purposes of this Public License, where the Licensed
Material is a musical work, performance, or sound recording,
Adapted Material is always produced where the Licensed Material is
synched in timed relation with a moving image.
b. Copyright and Similar Rights means copyright and/or similar rights
closely related to copyright including, without limitation,
performance, broadcast, sound recording, and Sui Generis Database
Rights, without regard to how the rights are labeled or
categorized. For purposes of this Public License, the rights
specified in Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and Similar
Rights.
c. Effective Technological Measures means those measures that, in the
absence of proper authority, may not be circumvented under laws
fulfilling obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright
Treaty adopted on December 20, 1996, and/or similar international
agreements.
d. Exceptions and Limitations means fair use, fair dealing, and/or
any other exception or limitation to Copyright and Similar Rights
that applies to Your use of the Licensed Material.
e. Licensed Material means the artistic or literary work, database,
or other material to which the Licensor applied this Public
License.
f. Licensed Rights means the rights granted to You subject to the
terms and conditions of this Public License, which are limited to
all Copyright and Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the
Licensed Material and that the Licensor has authority to license.
g. Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights
under this Public License.
h. Share means to provide material to the public by any means or
process that requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such
as reproduction, public display, public performance, distribution,
dissemination, communication, or importation, and to make material
available to the public including in ways that members of the
public may access the material from a place and at a time
individually chosen by them.
i. Sui Generis Database Rights means rights other than copyright
resulting from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases,
as amended and/or succeeded, as well as other essentially
equivalent rights anywhere in the world.
j. You means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights
under this Public License. Your has a corresponding meaning.
Section 2 -- Scope.
a. License grant.
1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License,
the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or
in part; and
b. produce and reproduce, but not Share, Adapted Material.
2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where
Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public
License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with
its terms and conditions.
3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section
6(a).
4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The
Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in

and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The
Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or
authority to forbid You from making technical modifications
necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective
Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License,
simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)
(4) never produces Adapted Material.
5. Downstream recipients.
a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every
recipient of the Licensed Material automatically
receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the
Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this
Public License.
b. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose
any additional or different terms or conditions on, or
apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the
Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
Material.
6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You
are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected
with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by,
the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as
provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
b. Other rights.
1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity,
privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to
the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to
assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited
extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed
Rights, but not otherwise.
2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this
Public License.
3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to
collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed
Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society
under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory
licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly
reserves any right to collect such royalties.
Section 3 -- License Conditions.
Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the
following conditions.
a. Attribution.
1. If You Share the Licensed Material, You must:
a. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor
with the Licensed Material:
i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed
Material and any others designated to receive
attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by
the Licensor (including by pseudonym if
designated);
ii. a copyright notice;
iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;
iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of
warranties;
v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the
extent reasonably practicable;
b. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and
retain an indication of any previous modifications; and
c. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this
Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or
hyperlink to, this Public License.
For the avoidance of doubt, You do not have permission under
this Public License to Share Adapted Material.
2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any
reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in
which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be
reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or
hyperlink to a resource that includes the required
information.
3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the
information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent
reasonably practicable.
Section 4 -- Sui Generis Database Rights.
Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that
apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:
a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right
to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial
portion of the contents of the database, provided You do not Share
Adapted Material;
b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database
contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database
Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database
Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and
c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share
all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not
replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE
EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS
AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS,
IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE. WHERE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES ARE NOT
ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
b. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE
TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES,
COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE OR
USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR
DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR
IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided
above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent
possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and
waiver of all liability.
Section 6 -- Term and Termination.
a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and
Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with
this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License
terminate automatically.
b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under
Section 6(a), it reinstates:
1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided
it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the
violation; or
2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any
right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations
of this Public License.
c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the
Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop
distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so
will not terminate this Public License.
d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public
License.
Section 7 -- Other Terms and Conditions.
a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different
terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the
Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and
independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.
Section 8 -- Interpretation.
a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and
shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose
conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully
be made without permission under this Public License.
b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is
deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the
minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License
without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
conditions.
c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
Licensor.
d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted
as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities
that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal
processes of any jurisdiction or authority.

# Introduction
This document defines the canonical format, semantics, and processing rules
for the repository-root `TODO` file. The file is a human-friendly,
append-only (allowing modifications) issue tracker that is parsed by TypeScript tooling using a MIME
envelope added at parse time.
The raw `TODO` file is not a MIME document. A preprocessor wraps it into a
valid `multipart/mixed` MIME message before parsing.
## Raw File Structure
The raw `TODO` file consists of a sequence of *parts*, each beginning with:
```default
--ISSUE
Content-Type: <mime-type>
```
Valid part types are:
* `application/sprints` — defines sprint metadata
* `application/modules` — defines the repository module structure
* `application/bugzilla` — defines Bugzilla product/component mappings
* `application/issue` — defines a single issue
Parts may appear in any order in the raw file. The preprocessor will reorder
them so that `application/sprints` appears first, followed by
`application/modules`, then `application/bugzilla`, then all
`application/issue` parts in original order.
## MIME Envelope (Added by Preprocessor)
Before parsing, the preprocessor wraps the raw file into a MIME multipart
message.
Prolog added by the preprocessor:
```default
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="ISSUE"
```
Each raw `--ISSUE` boundary becomes a MIME boundary. The preprocessor
extracts each parts `Content-Type` and body, reorders parts, and emits a
final closing boundary:
```default
--ISSUE--
```
The resulting MIME message is parsed using a standard MIME parser.
## Part: `application/sprints`
This part defines sprint metadata.
The body MUST begin with:
```default
Sprints:
```
followed by one or more sprint entries.
### Sprint Entry Forms
Both compact and expanded forms are valid.
Compact form:
```default
- Name: Sprint 1
Range: 2026-02-01..2026-02-14
```
Expanded form:
```default
-
Name: Sprint 1
Range: 2026-02-01..2026-02-14
```
### Sprint Entry Grammar
A sprint entry begins at a line matching:
```default
^\s*-\s*(Name:.*)?$
```
Keyvalue lines inside an entry match:
```default
^\s+[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]*:\s*(.*)$
```
Required keys:
* `Name: <string>`
* `Range: <YYYY-MM-DD>..<YYYY-MM-DD>`
The `Range` defines a closed interval `[start, end]`.
## Part: `application/modules`
This part defines the repositorys logical module structure. Each module maps
a name to an optional repository-relative path.
At most one `application/modules` part MAY appear. Multiple
`application/modules` parts MUST be rejected.
The body MUST begin with:
```default
Modules:
```
followed by one or more module entries.
### Module Entry Forms
Compact form:
```default
- Name: Specification
Path: src
```
Expanded form:
```default
-
Name: Specification
Path: src
```
A module without a path (logical grouping):
```default
- Name: Documentation
```
### Module Entry Grammar
A module entry begins at a line matching:
```default
^\s*-\s*(Name:.*)?$
```
Keyvalue lines inside an entry match:
```default
^\s+[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]*:\s*(.*)$
```
Required keys:
* `Name: <string>` — unique module identifier.
Optional keys:
* `Path: <repo-relative-path>` — path relative to repository root.
If omitted, the module is a logical grouping without a fixed location.
## Part: `application/bugzilla`
This part defines a unidirectional mapping from repository modules to
Bugzilla products and components. The `TODO` file is the source of truth;
Bugzilla is a downstream mirror.
At most one `application/bugzilla` part MAY appear. Multiple
`application/bugzilla` parts MUST be rejected.
An `application/bugzilla` part MUST NOT appear unless an
`application/modules` part is also present.
### Required Fields
```default
URL: <bugzilla-rest-api-url>
Mappings:
- Module: <module-name>
Product: <bugzilla-product>
Component: <bugzilla-component>
```
* **URL**: the base URL to the Bugzilla REST API.
* **Mappings**: one or more entries mapping a module name to a Bugzilla
product and component. Every `Module` value MUST reference a module
defined in the `application/modules` part.
Product and component names containing spaces or special characters are
permitted; tooling MUST URL-encode them when constructing API requests.
### Mapping Entry Grammar
A mapping entry begins at a line matching:
```default
^\s*-\s*(Module:.*)?$
```
Required keys:
* `Module: <string>` — references a module name.
* `Product: <string>` — Bugzilla product name.
* `Component: <string>` — Bugzilla component name.
### Sync Model
Synchronization is unidirectional: `TODO` → Bugzilla. The `TODO` file is
the canonical source of truth.
When a Bugzilla bug is created for a `TODO` issue, the bugs `url` field
MUST be set to a resolvable URL pointing to the `TODO` file on the
integration branch. The URL format is host-dependent:
* Bitbucket: `<repo-url>/src/<branch>/TODO#<issue-id>`
* GitHub: `<repo-url>/blob/<branch>/TODO#<issue-id>`
* GitLab: `<repo-url>/-/blob/<branch>/TODO#<issue-id>`
The branch in the URL MUST be the integration branch (`develop`),
regardless of which branch the push is initiated from.
Transition commit messages are pushed as Bugzilla comments. Each comment is
tagged with `git-<short-hash>` (first 7 characters of the commit hash) to
prevent duplicate pushes. A comment tag is applied only after the comment
and any associated status update have both succeeded.
Work commits from issue branches are also pushed as Bugzilla comments,
forming a threaded work log. Work comments:
* MUST NOT be pushed unless the issue status is `in-progress`.
* MUST NOT follow a `done` transition comment.
Comment format (Markdown):
```default
**<commit-subject>**
<commit-body>
[`<short-hash>`](<commit-url>)
```
The commit URL format is host-dependent:
* Bitbucket: `<repo-url>/commits/<hash>`

* GitLab: `<repo-url>/-/commit/<hash>`
## Part: `application/issue`
Each issue is represented as a structured block with strict field ordering.
### Required Field Order
The following fields MUST appear in exactly this order:
```default
ID: <integer>
Type: <feature|bugfix|hotfix>
Title: <short title>
Status: <open|in-progress|done|hold|cancelled>
Priority: <low|medium|high>
Created: <YYYY-MM-DD>
Module: <module-name> # OPTIONAL
Relationships: <comma-separated list or empty>
DueStart: <YYYY-MM-DD> # OPTIONAL
DueEnd: <YYYY-MM-DD> # OPTIONAL
Description: <first line>
<continuation lines>
```
### Field Semantics
* **ID**: unique integer, strictly increasing.
* **Type**: one of `feature`, `bugfix`, `hotfix`.
\* `feature` and `bugfix` issues target the integration branch (`develop`).
\* `hotfix` issues target the stable branch (`main` or `master`).
* **Status**: one of `open`, `in-progress`, `done`, `hold`, `cancelled`.
* **Priority**: one of `low`, `medium`, `high`.
* **Created**: ISO date.
* **Module**: optional. When present, MUST reference a module name defined in
the `application/modules` part. If no `application/modules` part exists,
the field is ignored.
* **Relationships**:
\* Empty:
```default
Relationships:
```
* Or list:
```default
Relationships: dependsOn:43, relatesTo:10
```
* Valid kinds: `dependsOn`, `relatesTo`, `blocks`.
* All relationship target IDs MUST reference existing issue IDs in the
same `TODO` file. A target that does not exist MUST be rejected.
* A relationship targeting a `cancelled` issue SHOULD produce a warning
(stale reference).
* **DueStart / DueEnd**:
\* Optional.
\* If only one is present, the other is implicitly equal to it.
### Description Block
* The first line appears on the same line as `Description:`.
* `Description:` occupies 13 characters. Content begins at column 14.
* Continuation lines MUST be indented with 13 spaces, aligning with column 14.
* Lines MUST NOT exceed 80 columns. Long text MUST be word-wrapped at the
80-column boundary by the serializer.
* No blank lines allowed inside the description block.
### Body
Any lines after the description block are considered free-form body text.
The body MUST NOT contain another `ID:` field or a MIME boundary.
### Issue Immutability
The `Description` field is immutable after the issue is created. To change
the scope of an issue, the issue MUST be cancelled and a new issue created.
Fields that MAY change after creation:
* `Status` (via transition commits)
Fields that MUST NOT change after creation:
* `ID`, `Type`, `Title`, `Priority`, `Created`, `Description`,
`Module`
## Git Workflow Rules
### Branch Naming
Branches for issues MUST follow:
```default
<Type>/<ID>
```
Examples:
```default
feature/12
bugfix/7
```
### Modification Rules
* All edits to `TODO` MUST occur on `develop`.
* Feature/bugfix/hotfix branches MUST rebase changes from `develop`.
### Branch Lifecycle
* A branch MUST NOT exist before its issue is created.
* A branch MUST be named exactly `<Type>/<ID>`.
* A branch MAY merge only when the issue status is `done`.
## Status Transition Rules
### Valid Transitions
Not all status changes are permitted. The following table defines the
complete set of valid transitions:
| From | Allowed transitions |
|---------------|-------------------------------------|
| `open` | `in-progress`, `hold`, `cancelled` |
| `in-progress` | `done`, `hold`, `open`, `cancelled` |
| `hold` | `open`, `in-progress`, `cancelled` |
| `done` | `open` |
| `cancelled` | `open` |
Any transition not listed MUST be rejected. A no-op transition (same status)
is permitted.
### Transition Commits
Each status transition MUST be recorded as a dedicated commit that modifies
only the `TODO` file. The commit message MUST follow this format:
```default
todo(<ID>): <status>
<body>
```
Where:
* `<ID>` is the issues integer ID.
* `<status>` is the new status value.
* `<body>` is a description whose content depends on the transition.
The body is required for all transitions except `open`, where it is
optional (see Transition Details).
### Transition Details
**\`\`todo(<ID>): open\`\`** — Issue creation.
* Branch: MUST be on `develop`.
* Body: optional. If provided, it MUST match the issues `Description`
field. Because the description is already recorded in the `TODO` file
itself, the body MAY be omitted to avoid duplication. When omitted, the
commit consists of only the header line.
**\`\`todo(<ID>): in-progress\`\`** — Start work.
* Branch: MUST be on `develop`.
* Body: high-level description of the planned approach.
* After this commit, the issue branch `<Type>/<ID>` may be created from
`develop`.
**\`\`todo(<ID>): done\`\`** — Complete work.
* Branch: MUST be on `<Type>/<ID>`.
* Body: high-level summary of what was delivered.
* After this commit, the issue branch may be merged into `develop` using
`--no-ff`.
**\`\`todo(<ID>): hold\`\`** — Pause work.
* Branch: MUST be on `<Type>/<ID>`.
* Body: reason for holding.
**\`\`todo(<ID>): cancelled\`\`** — Cancel issue.
* Branch: MUST be on `develop` or `<Type>/<ID>`.
* Body: reason for cancellation.
* If the issue is `open` (no branch exists), the commit is on `develop`.
* If the issue is `in-progress` or `hold` (branch exists), the commit
may be on the issue branch.
### Transition-Only Constraint
A transition commit MUST modify only the `TODO` file. No other files may
be included in the commit. This ensures that every transition is
independently auditable.
## Sprint Membership Logic
Given:
* Sprint interval `[S_start, S_end]`
* Issue interval `[I_start, I_end]`
### Normalization
* Only `DueEnd``I_start = I_end = DueEnd`
* Only `DueStart``I_start = I_end = DueStart`
* Neither → issue is not sprint-bound
### Membership Condition
An issue belongs to a sprint if:
```default
I_start ≤ S_end AND I_end ≥ S_start
```
### Current Sprint for Date D
1. All sprints where `S_start ≤ D ≤ S_end`.
2. If multiple match, choose the one with the latest `S_start`.
3. If none match, no active sprint.
## Preprocessor Requirements
The preprocessor MUST:
* Read the raw `TODO` file.
* Split into parts using `--ISSUE`.
* Extract each parts `Content-Type` and body.
* Reorder parts so that:
\* `application/sprints` appears first (if present)
\* `application/modules` appears second (if present)
\* `application/bugzilla` appears third (if present)
\* All `application/issue` parts follow in original order
\* Unknown part types are preserved in original order after issues
* Emit a MIME message with:
\* `MIME-Version: 1.0`
\* `Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="ISSUE"`
\* Each part wrapped as:
```default
--ISSUE
Content-Type: <type>
<body>
```
* Final boundary:
```default
--ISSUE--
```
## Parser Requirements
The parser MUST:
* Use a MIME parser to extract parts.
* Dispatch based on `Content-Type`:
\* `application/sprints` → sprint parser
\* `application/modules` → module parser
\* `application/bugzilla` → Bugzilla tracker parser
\* `application/issue` → issue parser
* Enforce:
\* Field order
\* Required fields
\* Description indentation and column rules
\* Sprint entry grammar
\* Module entry grammar
\* Module references: if `application/modules` is present, every issue `Module` field MUST reference a defined module name
\* Bugzilla mapping references: if `application/bugzilla` is present, every mapping `Module` value MUST reference a defined module name
\* Relationship targets: every target ID MUST reference an existing issue ID
\* Stale relationships: a relationship targeting a `cancelled` issue SHOULD produce a warning
* Produce a `TodoFile` object:
```default
{
sprints: Sprint[],
issues: Issue[],
modules?: Module[],
bugzilla?: BugzillaTracker
}
```
## Error Handling
The parser MUST reject:
* Missing or malformed `Content-Type` headers
* Unknown MIME types
* Missing required issue fields
* Incorrect field order
* Invalid sprint ranges
* Invalid date formats
* Multiple `application/sprints` parts
* Multiple `application/modules` parts
* Multiple `application/bugzilla` parts
* `application/bugzilla` without `application/modules`
* Issue `Module` referencing undefined module
* Bugzilla mapping `Module` referencing undefined module
* Relationship target referencing non-existent issue ID
* Invalid status transition
* Duplicate issue IDs
The parser SHOULD warn on:
* Relationship targeting a `cancelled` issue (stale reference)
Errors SHOULD include line numbers when possible.
## CLI Reference
The `@byteb4rb1e/mime-todo` CLI is the reference implementation of this
specification. It enforces all format, validation, transition, and commit
rules defined above. Both developers and automated agents MUST use the CLI
to interact with the `TODO` file rather than editing it manually.
Install:
```default
npm install -g @byteb4rb1e/mime-todo
```
### Issue Lifecycle
Creating an issue (MUST be on `develop`):
```default
todo create --type feature --title "Add login" --plan "Implement OAuth2 flow"
```
This produces a `todo(<ID>): open` commit modifying only the `TODO` file.
The `--plan` text becomes the issues `Description` field. The commit
has no body because the description is already recorded in the issue itself.
Starting work (MUST be on `develop`):
```default
todo start <id> --plan "High-level approach description"
```
This produces a `todo(<ID>): in-progress` commit. The issue branch
`<Type>/<ID>` may then be created by the user:
```default
git checkout -b feature/<id>
```
Completing work (MUST be on `<Type>/<ID>`):
```default
todo done <id> --summary "Summary of what was delivered"
```
This produces a `todo(<ID>): done` commit. The issue branch may then be
merged into `develop` using `--no-ff`.
Holding an issue (MUST be on `<Type>/<ID>`):
```default
todo hold <id> --reason "Blocked on dependency"
```
Cancelling an issue (MUST be on `develop` or `<Type>/<ID>`):
```default
todo cancel <id> --reason "Superseded by issue #5"
```
The CLI validates the current branch and the status transition before
committing. Invalid transitions or wrong branches are rejected with an
error.
### Read-Only Commands
These commands do not modify the `TODO` file and may be run from any
branch:
```default
todo list # list all issues
todo show <id> # show full issue details
todo sprints # list all sprints
todo issues-in-sprint <name> # list issues in a sprint
```
### Bugzilla Integration
Initializing products and components:
```default
todo init # check what exists
todo init --dry-run # preview changes
todo init --confirm --assignee user@example.com # create missing items
```
The `init` command reads the `application/bugzilla` part and ensures all
referenced products and components exist on the Bugzilla server.
Pushing commits to Bugzilla:
```default
todo push # push all unpushed commits
todo push HEAD~3 # push only the last 3 commits
todo push --dry-run # preview without pushing
todo push --strategy full # re-scan all bugs
```
On issue branches, `push` posts work commits as Bugzilla comments. Work
comments are only permitted when the issue is `in-progress` and no
`done` transition has been recorded.
On `develop`, `push` posts transition commits as Bugzilla comments and
updates the bugs status accordingly.
Each comment includes a clickable link to the commit and is tagged with
`git-<short-hash>` for idempotency. Running `push` multiple times is
safe.
### Agent Usage
Agents MUST use the CLI for all `TODO` file interactions:
* Creating issues: `todo create`
* Transitioning issues: `todo start`, `todo done`, `todo hold`,
`todo cancel`
* Querying: `todo list`, `todo show`, `todo sprints`
* Syncing to Bugzilla: `todo push`
Agents MUST NOT:
* Edit the `TODO` file directly.
* Construct transition commits manually.
* Modify issue fields other than `Status` (and only via the CLI).
* Push to Bugzilla outside of the CLIs `push` command.
## Extensibility
Defined part types:
* `application/sprints` — sprint metadata
* `application/modules` — repository module structure
* `application/bugzilla` — Bugzilla product/component mappings
* `application/issue` — single issue
Future part types MAY be added using:
```default
application/<subtype>
```
The preprocessor MUST preserve unknown part types but MUST NOT reorder them.
Unknown types are placed after all defined types.
