  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"project_id":"UUID","title":"Fix login bug","priority":"high","status":"todo"}'

# 3. Move to in_progress
curl -s -X PATCH $BAATON_URL/issues/ISSUE_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BAATON_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status":"in_progress"}'

# 4. Post work summary (TLDR)
curl -s -X POST $BAATON_URL/issues/ISSUE_ID/tldr \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BAATON_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agent_name":"my-agent","summary":"Fixed the login bug by...","files_changed":["src/auth.rs"],"tests_status":"passed"}'

# 5. Mark done
curl -s -X PATCH $BAATON_URL/issues/ISSUE_ID \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status":"done"}'
```

| status | Per-project (default: `backlog`, `todo`, `in_progress`, `in_review`, `done`, `cancelled`) |
| tests_status | `passed`, `failed`, `skipped`, `none` |

## Issue Fields (POST/PATCH)

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|-------|------|----------|-------|

| title | string | ✅ (create) | — |
| description | string | — | Markdown |

## Automation Schema

```json
{
  "name": "Auto-close stale",
  "trigger": "due_date_passed",
  "conditions": [{"field": "status", "operator": "equals", "value": "todo"}],
  "actions": [{"type": "set_status", "value": "cancelled"}],
  "enabled": true
}
```

Triggers: `status_changed`, `priority_changed`, `label_added`, `issue_created`, `comment_added`, `assignee_changed`, `due_date_passed`
Actions: `set_status`, `set_priority`, `add_label`, `assign_user`, `send_webhook`, `add_comment`, `run_agent`

## Webhook Events

`issue.created`, `issue.updated`, `issue.deleted`, `status.changed`, `comment.created`, `comment.deleted`

Payload: `{ event, data: { issue }, timestamp }`

## Error Handling

Errors include `accepted_values` for invalid enums:
```json
{"error": "Invalid status 'open'", "accepted_values": ["backlog","todo","in_progress","in_review","done","cancelled"], "field": "status"}
```

## AI-First Features

- **`_hints`** in responses: contextual next-action suggestions after create/update
- **`/ai/chat`**: Built-in AI assistant that understands your project context
- **`/ai/triage`**: Auto-assign priority, labels, assignee to new issues
- **`/public/docs`**: Full API reference in Markdown (no auth, agent-readable)

## Best Practices

1. Move to `in_progress` before starting work
2. Post TLDRs with `files_changed` and `tests_status`
3. Use `tags` to categorize (e.g., `["frontend","urgent"]`)
4. Set `due_date` for time-sensitive issues
5. Use `PATCH /issues/batch` for bulk operations
6. Check `_hints` in responses for recommended next actions
7. Use `/search/global` to find issues across all organizations
