The spec is the build — tickets an AI can execute without you in the room (step 8/8) · delivery studio

Checkpoint

One last thing before we move on. pass this to mark the lesson done, or skip and keep moving. hop to the next when you're ready.

Checkpoint: the triage router — every ticket lands in one of three lanes before a builder touches it.

Write route_ticket(spec) returning (lane, reasons):

Lint first. Run the lesson's lint rules (owner → acceptance → vague words → scope fence, same reason strings as the last step). Any reasons → lane "spec-first", with those reasons.
Then the frontier. If the spec's ground_truth field is missing or falsy — no checkable way to verify the output — lane is "pair-review", reasons [].
Otherwise lane is "delegate", reasons [].

Four tickets run. Expected output:

DS-501: delegate
DS-502: spec-first — A1 vague: robust
DS-503: pair-review
DS-504: spec-first — no owner
