Migrate Ticket storage to .yoi/tickets	closed	2026-06-05T20:30:06Z	2026-06-05T21:51:58Z

Background

The active Ticket storage should move from top-level work-items/ to .yoi/tickets/ so Yoi project orchestration state lives under .yoi/ with workflows and Ticket config.

This is a project-record migration. Preserve all existing Ticket ids, thread history, artifacts, and resolutions.

Requirements

• Move active storage:

work-items/open/    -> .yoi/tickets/open/
work-items/pending/ -> .yoi/tickets/pending/
work-items/closed/  -> .yoi/tickets/closed/

• Use git mv or equivalent tracked moves so history remains inspectable.
• Update code defaults/tests/docs/workflows to refer to .yoi/tickets as active storage.
• Update .yoi/ticket.config.toml examples/defaults to root = ".yoi/tickets".
• Update worktree workflow guidance if necessary: child worktrees still exclude .yoi; Ticket mutation remains main-workspace/orchestrator authority.
• Ensure .yoi/tickets is tracked project state, not ignored generated memory.
• Adjust .gitignore if needed so .yoi/tickets, .yoi/workflow, .yoi/knowledge, and .yoi/ticket.config.toml can be tracked while generated .yoi/memory remains ignored.
• Do not rewrite historical thread/artifact body references unless they are current docs/config paths. Historical mentions of work-items/ may remain as history.

Non-goals

• Removing tickets.sh; handled later.
• Changing Ticket ids/slugs/status semantics.
• External tracker migration.
• Scheduler/lease/queue automation.

Acceptance criteria

• All active Ticket records are under .yoi/tickets/.
• Top-level work-items/ no longer exists as active storage.
• yoi ticket list/show/doctor works against .yoi/tickets/.
• Ticket tools and TUI role actions use .yoi/tickets/ through configured backend root.
• Documentation no longer tells users to use work-items/ as active storage.
• git status shows intentional tracked moves, not delete/recreate loss of records.
• Validation passes:
  • yoi ticket doctor
  • transitional ./tickets.sh doctor only if still present and intentionally updated;
  • cargo check --workspace --all-targets;
  • cargo fmt --check;
  • git diff --check.
