Summary

Adds new technical tracking issue and task templates
Makes small tweaks to other existing templates for consistency
Adds AI generation comment to all tempaltes.

@MisRob MisRob self-assigned this Dec 16, 2025
- For frontend new features: include screenshots/mockups of desired end state
- For backend work: describe the expected behavior, not the implementation

Focus on WHAT and WHY, not HOW. The developer determines the implementation.

Generally, definitely. In some cases, I've found it important to specify architecture. But perhaps it doesn't need to reflected in a template. We can chat about it more later.

I agree with this @MisRob -- sometimes specifying the implementation is important, although my suspicion is that at least part of this is to support AI written issues that are overly detailed. Is that right, @rtibbles. Maybe a small addition such as "add specific architectural constraints or considerations" could be enough?

Yes, this was definitely biased by the tendency of LLMs to just write out the implementation, but I do think it goes overboard. Updating before merge.

Thanks @rtibbles - all looks good! I didn't give it a deep thought, but read through it.

One small suggestion to Misha's point, but not blocking. (And I think internally, we would already be doing this)
