 > **TEST DEBT FIX:** Due to ongoing test architecture instability (documented in `test_architecture_integrity_audit_20260304`), do NOT write new `live_gui` integration tests for this track. Rely strictly on in-process `unittest.mock` for the `ai_client` to verify the retry logic.
 
 ## Phase 1: Implementation of Retry Logic
-- [ ] Task: Initialize MMA Environment `activate_skill mma-orchestrator`
-- [ ] Task: Implement Retry Loop in `generate_tickets`
+- [x] Task: Initialize MMA Environment `activate_skill mma-orchestrator`
+- [x] Task: Implement Retry Loop in `generate_tickets`
     - [ ] WHERE: `conductor_tech_lead.py:generate_tickets`
     - [ ] WHAT: Wrap the `send` and `json.loads` calls in a `for _ in range(max_retries)` loop.
     - [ ] HOW: If `JSONDecodeError` is caught, append an error message to the context and loop. If it succeeds, `break` and return.
     - [ ] SAFETY: Ensure token limits aren't massively breached by appending huge error states. Truncate raw output if necessary.
-- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 1: Implementation' (Protocol in workflow.md)

 ## Phase 2: Unit Testing
 - [ ] Task: Write Simulation Tests for JSON Parsing
