+## Plan
+
+## Preflight / implementation intent
+
+Classification: implementation-ready after `ticket-role-launch-config-strict-validation` landed.
+
+Intent:
+- Add a Ticket-focused scaffold/init path that writes an explicit `.yoi/ticket.config.toml` with concrete fixed role profiles.
+- This is explicit config generation, not runtime fallback. The generated file may choose builtin presets, but the runtime must continue requiring explicit role config.
+
+Current state:
+- There is no top-level `yoi init` command in `crates/yoi/src/main.rs`.
+- `yoi ticket` currently has no `init` command.
+- `yoi ticket` already documents fallback backend behavior when config is absent, but role launch validation now requires explicit role config for Panel Intake/Orchestrator launches.
+
+Implementation direction:
+- Introduce a narrow `yoi ticket init` scaffold command rather than a broad product-level init redesign.
+- The command should create `.yoi/ticket.config.toml` if missing, and optionally ensure the local Ticket root `.yoi/tickets` exists.
+- Default generated config should explicitly include:
+  - `[backend] provider = "builtin:yoi_local"`, `root = ".yoi/tickets"`;
+  - fixed `[roles.*]` tables for intake, orchestrator, coder, reviewer, investigator;
+  - each role has a concrete `profile`, initially `builtin:default` unless role-specific builtin profiles are introduced in the same small diff;
+  - each role has explicit `workflow` matching the role defaults.
+- Do not overwrite an existing `.yoi/ticket.config.toml` unless an explicit force flag is intentionally added and tested. A minimal first pass can fail with an actionable diagnostic when the config already exists.
+- Generated config should pass the strict role launch validation added by the previous ticket.
+
+Suggested command shape:
+- `yoi ticket init`
+- Optional flags only if small and useful:
+  - `--force` is not required for first pass;
+  - `--print`/dry-run is not required for first pass.
+
+Code map:
+- `crates/yoi/src/ticket_cli.rs`: add parse/run/help for `init` and tests.
+- `crates/ticket/src/config.rs`: add reusable scaffold string/helper if that keeps config generation testable near config types.
+- `crates/client/src/ticket_role.rs`: use existing launch validation tests to verify generated config is launch-ready.
+- `.yoi/ticket.config.toml`: update this repository's config through the new intended shape or keep repository config update in main workspace if child worktree excludes `.yoi`; the implementation should at least make the scaffold generate that shape.
+
+Non-goals:
+- Do not loosen runtime validation.
+- Do not add implicit builtin/default fallback.
+- Do not implement broad global `yoi init` unless the existing CLI structure makes it clearly smaller than `yoi ticket init`.
+- Do not design role-specific builtin profiles unless it is trivial and scoped; `builtin:default` as explicit scaffold output is acceptable for now.
+
+Validation:
+- Tests should cover generated config shape, refusal to overwrite existing config, and successful role launch validation against generated config.
+- Run focused `cargo test -p ticket config --lib`, `cargo test -p client ticket_role --lib`, and `cargo test -p yoi ticket` or equivalent ticket CLI tests.
+- Run `cargo fmt --check` and `git diff --check`.

+
+## Intake summary
+
+Implementation-ready after strict role launch validation: add a narrow `yoi ticket init` scaffold path that writes explicit backend and fixed role profile config to `.yoi/ticket.config.toml`, using concrete selectors such as explicit `builtin:default` for now, without adding runtime fallback.
