Background

After yoi ticket ... has CLI parity and active Ticket storage has moved to .yoi/tickets/, the old shell compatibility CLI should be removed.

Keeping tickets.sh would leave a second mutation path and force duplicate semantics for create/comment/review/status/close/doctor.

Requirements

• Delete tickets.sh.
• Remove or update every active doc/workflow/test reference that tells users/agents to run ./tickets.sh.
• Replace validation references with yoi ticket doctor.
• Remove shell-specific tests if any, or port them to yoi ticket ... / Rust backend tests.
• Ensure no production code shells out to tickets.sh.
• Ensure all Ticket mutation paths use crates/ticket backend APIs or the yoi ticket CLI.
• Preserve historical Ticket thread/artifact mentions if they are closed historical context; do not rewrite old records unnecessarily.

Non-goals

• Moving storage; must already be complete.
• Adding new Ticket features.
• External tracker support.
• TUI changes beyond documentation/help if needed.

Acceptance criteria

• tickets.sh no longer exists.
• Repository docs/workflows no longer present tickets.sh as an active command.
• Validation docs use yoi ticket doctor.
• rg "tickets.sh" returns only closed historical records or no active references.
• yoi ticket doctor passes.
• cargo check --workspace --all-targets, cargo fmt --check, git diff --check, and relevant tests pass.

Dependencies

Requires:

• yoi-ticket-cli-parity
