## ✅ QA PASSED All verifications completed successfully: - ✅ Deployed to production (trckr.roboalch.com) - ✅ Installed locally with make install - ✅ Local CLI test: New issues get NONE-N prefix correctly - ✅ Server container code verified via SSH **Test Results:** - NONE-1 created for project-less issue - TEST-1 created for project-assigned issue - Sequential numbering works - Backward compatibility preserved Fix is complete and verified working in both local CLI and production server.

## Fix Applied: Change Default Identifier Prefix from TRCKR to NONE ### Problem Found The issue was that issues created without a project were being assigned identifiers with the TRCKR prefix (e.g., TRCKR-1, TRCKR-2). This was problematic because: 1. TRCKR could be a legitimate project key 2. It created ambiguity between project-assigned and unassigned issues ### Changes Made **1. shared/identifiers.py** (core change): - Line 189: Changed TRCKR to NONE in the get_existing_identifier_numbers() call - Line 199: Changed f"TRCKR-{next_num}" to f"NONE-{next_num}" in the return statement - Updated docstrings and comments to reflect the new behavior **2. client/sync.py**: - Updated _recalculate_counters() method to search for NONE-% identifiers instead of TRCKR-% - Changed SUBSTR offset from 7 to 6 (length of "NONE-" vs "TRCKR-") **3. server/templates/modals/help.html**: - Updated user documentation to explain the NONE prefix **4. Updated test files** (10 files total) ### Verification - Ran the full test suite with make test-full - All tests related to the TRCKR to NONE change now pass - Some pre-existing test failures remain (snapshot tests, live server sync tests) that were already failing on master before this change ### Commits - b76a72c - TRCKR-834: Change default identifier prefix from TRCKR to NONE

## Triage Complete **Complexity:** Low **Effort:** Small (1-2 hours) **Recommendation:** Ready for implementation ### Key Findings 1. **Primary Change Location**: `shared/identifiers.py` lines 189 and 198 - Change `"TRCKR"` to `"NONE"` in two places within `next_issue_identifier()` 2. **No Other Code Changes Needed**: Files that import identifier functions (`trckr.py`, `server/routes/*.py`, `tui/screens/edit.py`) will automatically use the new behavior. 3. **Test Updates Required**: - `tests/test_identifiers.py` - Update examples from `TRCKR-N` to `NONE-N` - `tests/test_sync_e2e.py` - Update project-less issue tests 4. **Backward Compatibility**: Existing `TRCKR-N` issues remain unchanged. Only new project-less issues will get `NONE-N` prefix. ### Implementation Steps 1. Update `shared/identifiers.py` line 189: `"TRCKR"` → `"NONE"` 2. Update `shared/identifiers.py` line 198: `f"TRCKR-{next_num}"` → `f"NONE-{next_num}"` 3. Update affected tests 4. Run full test suite Full triage report: `/tmp/triage-TRCKR-834.md`
