Description

Recurring problem across projects.

Observed behavior

  • A temporary structure.md file was created and committed.
  • tasks.md remains committed even after the work items have been created on the board (GitHub Issues or Azure DevOps).

Desired behavior

  • structure.md is treated as temporary and never committed.
  • When work items are created on the board, tasks.md is either not committed or is removed automatically once the items land as issues/work items.

Acceptance criteria

  • Implementation flow does not commit structure.md.
  • After board sync, tasks.md is cleaned up automatically or its non-creation is enforced.

Research direction

Start by tracing the implementation flow that creates or commits structure.md and tasks.md, then follow the board-sync entry point for GitHub Issues or Azure DevOps. Confirm where temporary files are handled and how sync completion is detected. Done means structure.md is not committed and tasks.md is removed or never committed after work items are created.
