Implementation Plan: Manual Ticket Queue Management (ticket_queue_mgmt_20260306)

Reference: Spec | Architecture Guide

Phase 1: Priority Field

Focus: Add priority to Ticket model

• Task 1.1: Initialize MMA Environment

  • Run activate_skill mma-orchestrator before starting

• Task 1.2: Add priority field to Ticket (035c74e)

  • WHERE: src/models.py Ticket dataclass
  • WHAT: Add priority: str = "medium" field
  • HOW:

    @dataclass
    class Ticket:
     # ... existing fields ...
     priority: str = "medium"  # "high" | "medium" | "low"
    

  • CODE STYLE: 1-space indentation

• Task 1.3: Update Ticket serialization (035c74e)

  • WHERE: src/models.py Ticket.to_dict() and from_dict()
  • WHAT: Include priority in serialization
  • HOW: Add priority to dict conversion

Phase 2: Priority UI

Focus: Add priority dropdown to ticket display

• Task 2.1: Add priority dropdown

  • WHERE: src/gui_2.py ticket rendering
  • WHAT: Dropdown for priority selection
  • HOW:

    priorities = ["high", "medium", "low"]
    current_idx = priorities.index(ticket.priority) if ticket.priority in priorities else 1
    if imgui.begin_combo("Priority", priorities[current_idx]):
     for i, p in enumerate(priorities):
      if imgui.selectable(p, i == current_idx):
       ticket.priority = p
     imgui.end_combo()
    

• Task 2.2: Add color coding

  • WHERE: src/gui_2.py ticket rendering
  • WHAT: Color-code priority display
  • HOW:

    priority_colors = {"high": vec4(255, 100, 100, 255), "medium": vec4(255, 200, 100, 255), "low": vec4(150, 150, 150, 255)}
    imgui.text_colored(priority_colors.get(ticket.priority, vec4(200, 200, 200, 255)), f"[{ticket.priority.upper()}]")
    

Phase 3: Multi-Select

Focus: Enable ticket selection for bulk operations

• Task 3.1: Add selection state

  • WHERE: src/gui_2.py or src/app_controller.py
  • WHAT: Track selected ticket IDs
  • HOW:

    self._selected_tickets: set[str] = set()
    

• Task 3.2: Add checkbox per ticket

  • WHERE: src/gui_2.py ticket list rendering
  • WHAT: Checkbox for selection
  • HOW:

    selected = ticket.id in self._selected_tickets
    if imgui.checkbox(f"##select_{ticket.id}", selected):
     if selected:
      self._selected_tickets.discard(ticket.id)
     else:
      self._selected_tickets.add(ticket.id)
    imgui.same_line()
    

• Task 3.3: Add select all/none buttons

  • WHERE: src/gui_2.py ticket list header
  • WHAT: Buttons to select/deselect all
  • HOW:

    if imgui.button("Select All"):
     self._selected_tickets = {t.id for t in self.track.tickets}
    imgui.same_line()
    if imgui.button("Select None"):
     self._selected_tickets.clear()
    

Phase 4: Bulk Actions

Focus: Execute bulk operations on selected tickets

• Task 4.1: Add bulk action buttons
  • WHERE: src/gui_2.py ticket list area
  • WHAT: Execute, Skip, Block buttons
  • HOW:

    if imgui.button("Bulk Execute"):
     for tid in self._selected_tickets:
      self.engine.approve_task(tid)
    imgui.same_line()
    if imgui.button("Bulk Skip"):
     for tid in self._selected_tickets:
      self.engine.update_task_status(tid, "completed")
    imgui.same_line()
    if imgui.button("Bulk Block"):
     for tid in self._selected_tickets:
      self.engine.update_task_status(tid, "blocked")
    

Phase 5: Drag-Drop (Optional)

Focus: Allow ticket reordering

• Task 5.1: Implement drag-drop reordering
  • WHERE: src/gui_2.py ticket list
  • WHAT: Drag tickets to reorder
  • HOW: Use imgui drag-drop API
  • SAFETY: Validate DAG after reorder (no dependency violations)

Phase 6: Testing

Focus: Verify all functionality

• Task 6.1: Write unit tests

  • WHERE: tests/test_ticket_queue.py (new file)
  • WHAT: Test priority serialization, bulk operations
  • HOW: Create mock tickets, verify state changes

• Task 6.2: Conductor - Phase Verification

  • Run: uv run pytest tests/test_ticket_queue.py -v
  • Manual: Verify UI controls work
