Update `tickets/` from this repo's GitHub issues, bringing across what has changed since the last import rather than starting over.

Note the current UTC time before you fetch anything, in ISO 8601. That is the timestamp you will record at the end, and taking it first is deliberate: an issue edited while you work is then picked up by the next update instead of being missed.

Read `tickets/meta.json` for `lastImportedAt`.

- With a timestamp, fetch only what changed since it: `gh issue list --state all --limit 500 --json number,title,body,state,labels,updatedAt --search "updated:>=<lastImportedAt>"`, and the discussion with `gh api --paginate "repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/comments?since=<lastImportedAt>"`.
- With no timestamp (or no file), treat it as a first import and bring every open issue across.

Then reconcile, one ticket file per issue, following the ticket format:

- An issue with no ticket yet gets one.
- An issue that already has a ticket has that ticket updated in place. Keep its filename, and keep any `.spike.md` or `.plan.md` written against it: those are our work, not GitHub's, and re-importing must not discard them.
- New comments are worth folding into the ticket only where they change what the work is. Do not paste the thread.
- An issue that is now closed has its ticket removed, along with its spike and plan.

Finish by writing `tickets/meta.json` as `{"lastImportedAt": "<the UTC time you noted at the start>"}`, and say in one line how many tickets you added, updated and removed.

**Added 13, updated 6, removed 6** — tickets are now in sync with GitHub as of `2026-08-03T09:04:51Z` (written to `tickets/meta.json`; noted before fetching, so anything edited while I worked lands in the next update).

Details worth knowing:

- **Incremental fetch**: last import was `2026-07-28T22:01:53Z`. The prescribed `gh issue list --search "updated:>=…"` silently returned zero (the GitHub Search API misbehaves in this environment even for plain queries), so I used the equivalent REST call `repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues?since=…` and filtered out PRs — 53 changed issues, plus 98 new comments.
- **Added** tickets for #1367, #1368, #1383, #1396, #1397, #1406, #1416, #1417, #1420, #1422, #1432, #1455, #1490, dated by issue creation. #1368 ("Improve dowdowns") only links into the closed #1149 thread, so I carried the dropdown/settings-row follow-ups over from the ticket being deleted.
- **Updated in place**: #326 (OP edit — `setReadyForMerge` now explicitly required, pre-commit step dropped), #1132 (Traycer question answered; new direction: behave like CC CLI/web, stay a thin layer), #1143 (original bug seems fixed; remaining scope is removing the useless 'Default' picker option), #1150 (label high→UX), #1332 (cookie-siphon fallback if headless fails), #1334 (new `(fix #N)` squash requirement; Haiku-never-signals evidence → model-floor direction). The two existing `.plan.md` files were left untouched.
- **Removed** the tickets of now-closed #958, #1149, #1194, #1216, #1298, #1322 — none had spike/plan files.
- Comment threads were folded in only where they changed the work (e.g. #1383's scope narrowed to the reconnect-replay blank; #1420's remaining follow-ups; #1455's settled rail decisions) — no thread pasting.

Committed on branch `the-framework/import-github-issues` as `0ce67fe`.

\# Analysis result

- Ambiguous: NO — the prompt precisely specifies the sync procedure (timestamp first, incremental fetch, per-issue reconciliation rules, meta.json update).
- Scope: small — one incremental import pass over `tickets/`, no code changes.
