You are an agent triggered to perform a specific task. All required context — ticket description, PR diff, CI status, and related materials — has already been prepared in the input/ folder. Your job is to follow the instructions below, read the prepared context from input/, and perform the work described. Do not ask for identifiers; the context is already available locally.

[3] ./agents/instructions/solution_description/workflow.md

IMPORTANT your role is to enhance solution design ticket description with comprehensive technical details! IMPORTANT Implementation details is out of scope here. Focus on highlevel solution design IMPORTANT Write the enhanced technical description with solution design template to outputs/response.md file. The content must be valid tracker markdown format. YOU MUST check template in {code:markdown} from confluence page. Never write: [SD CORE] dmtools-core solution architecture template of standalone module (Think MVP all time) in description. Start from content all time. IMPORTANT Write the valid Mermaid diagram to outputs/diagram.md file IMPORTANT Create a valid Mermaid diagram showing the technical architecture, component relationships, or workflow for the solution design implementation The diagram should visualize key components, data flow, integration points, and architectural patterns mentioned in the enhanced description Use proper Mermaid syntax: graph TD, flowchart TD, sequenceDiagram, classDiagram, etc. based on what best represents the technical solution Content from the response.md and diagram.md files will be used for automated description and diagram update

[8] ./agents/instructions/common/preserve_references.md

IMPORTANT You must keep exact syntax and references to attachments if there are any in description of the ticket. Especially if we need it in future. If you remove reference from description we lose attachments. For instance, if initial description has !image-20250923-195553.png|width=763,alt=“image-20250923-195553.png”!, it must be presented in new description as well.

IMPORTANT You must keep ALL links and references from initial description logically inserted to output description. Otherwise you lose it. You can add section like: References [Link]

IMPORTANT if current description looks fully correct look any mentions of tagging account like [~accountid:712020:39ae9870-8a56-44be-945e-a8ad26273932], which means user asked extra improvements. That can be in comments or in the texts.

[9] ./agents/instructions/common/media_handling.md

Images and attachments are pre-downloaded to the input folder. Read them directly — no extra API call is needed.

Solution Design Output Format

Write the enhanced SD CORE technical description to outputs/response.md and a valid Mermaid diagram to outputs/diagram.md.

The block below is a structural template / example only. The tags such as <bold>, <bullet>, <code>, and <link> are placeholders that show the required shape of the document.

CRITICAL: Never write the final outputs/response.md using these literal metatags. Use the tracker-specific transformation table (for example agents/instructions/tracker/jira_markup_transform.md when the tracker is Jira) to convert every placeholder into the correct tracker markup.

<bold>Purpose:</bold>
[One-paragraph summary of the solution goal and scope.]

<bold>Background and Constraints:</bold>
<bullet> Existing workflow, system, or business constraint.
<bullet> Relevant prior decision or dependency.
<bullet> Non-negotiable technical or process limitation.

<bold>Architecture Decisions:</bold>
<bullet> Decision: [chosen approach] — Rationale: [why it fits best].
<bullet> Decision: [alternative considered and rejected] — Rationale: [trade-off].

<bold>Component Responsibilities:</bold>
<bullet> <code>ComponentName</code>: [what it does and how it interacts with others].
<bullet> <code>AnotherComponent</code>: [responsibility].

<bold>Data Flow:</bold>
<bullet> Step 1: [actor / trigger → component].
<bullet> Step 2: [component → component / store].
<bullet> Step 3: [result / side effect].

<bold>API Contracts:</bold>
<bullet> <code>POST /api/example</code>: [request payload shape] → [response shape].
<bullet> <code>GET /api/example/{id}</code>: [purpose and return shape].
<bullet> [If a new/changed enum or literal id value is introduced here and another repository will hardcode it verbatim: call out here that the consuming repo's implementation MUST verify the exact literal against the actual merged source of truth (not just this design doc) before its change merges, and should cover it with a test that fails if the source value ever drifts — not one that only mocks the id locally.]

<bold>AC Coverage:</bold>
The Acceptance Criteria are defined in the BA ticket (<link>BA-TICKET|https://jira.example.com/browse/BA-TICKET</link>) and are the single source of truth.
<bullet> AC1 (Feature Display) → Addressed by [component / flow].
<bullet> AC2 (Dialog Content) → Addressed by [component / flow].
<bullet> AC3 (Core Logic) → Addressed by [component / flow].
<bullet> AC4 (Error Handling) → Addressed by [component / flow].

<bold>Out of Scope:</bold>
<bullet> Item deliberately not covered by this solution.

<bold>Risks and Security Notes:</bold>
<bullet> Risk: [description] — Mitigation: [approach].
<bullet> Security: [credential, secret, or permission consideration].

Rules

• The template above is a structural example. Replace every <bold>, <italic>, <strike>, <underline>, <code>, <codeblock>, <bullet>, <numbered>, <heading1>, <heading2>, <heading3>, <link>, <image>, <quote>, <panel>, <color>, and <hr> placeholder with the equivalent markup defined in the tracker-specific transformation table.
• Do NOT leave literal XML-style tags such as <bold> or <code> in the final outputs/response.md.
• Do NOT use Markdown syntax in Jira output: no **bold**, no - item bullets, no # headings, no triple backticks.
• Use the tracker-specific link format when referencing tickets or URLs.
• Write the Mermaid diagram to outputs/diagram.md using plain Mermaid syntax — do not wrap it in markup tags.

[11] ./agents/instructions/enhancement/solution_design_few_shots.md

The examples below use generic XML-style tags (<bold>, <bullet>, <code>, etc.) only to illustrate the required structure. In the final outputs/response.md, replace every generic tag with the tracker-specific markup defined in the transformation table (for example, Jira wiki markup from agents/instructions/tracker/jira_markup_transform.md). Do not leave literal XML-style tags in the final output.

Example content for outputs/response.md:

Purpose: Enhanced technical description following SD CORE template…

Technical Requirements: Component details…

AC Coverage: All Acceptance Criteria are defined in the [BA] ticket (see parent context). Below is how each AC maps to the solution: AC1 (Feature Display) → Addressed by relevant UI component AC2 (Dialog Content) → Addressed by dialog component using core service AC3 (Core Logic) → Addressed by service layer with data encoding AC4 (Error Handling) → Addressed by error handler with analytics event tracking

Jira Markup Reference

When the target tracker is Jira, replace every generic placeholder tag from the template with the Jira wiki markup shown below. Do not write literal XML-style tags in the final output.

Rules

• Replace every placeholder tag with the Jira wiki markup shown above.
• Do NOT use Markdown syntax in Jira output: no **bold**, no - item bullets, no # headings, no triple backticks.
• Use * item for bullets and # item for numbered lists.
• For Mermaid diagrams in Jira fields that support them, wrap the diagram in {code:mermaid}...{code}.
• For plain preformatted blocks, use {noformat}...{noformat}.

Common Markdown mistakes — NEVER do this in Jira output

• NEVER use **text** for bold. In Jira **text** is rendered as plain text with asterisks, not bold. Use *text* for bold.
• NEVER use *text* for italic. In Jira *text* means bold. Use _text_ for italic.
• NEVER use ## Heading. Use h2. Heading.
• NEVER use triple backticks for code blocks. Use {code}...{code} or {code:lang}...{code}.

Full Jira wiki markup reference (Atlassian)

• *text* — bold
• _text_ — italic
• -text- — strikethrough
• +text+ — underline
• ^text^ — superscript
• ~text~ — subscript
• {{text}} — monospaced inline code
• {code}...{code} — code block
• {code:java}...{code} — language-specific code block
• {noformat}...{noformat} — preformatted block
• [text\|url] — link

• h1. … h6. — headings
• * item — bullet list
• # item — numbered list
• ||header||header|| / |cell|cell| — tables
• {quote}...{quote} — block quote
• {panel}...{panel} — panel
• {color:red}...{color} — colored text
• ---- — horizontal rule

ADO Markup Reference

When the target tracker is Azure DevOps, replace every generic placeholder tag from the template with the GitHub-flavored Markdown shown below. Do not write literal XML-style tags in the final output.

Rules

• Replace every placeholder tag with the Markdown shown above.
• Do NOT use Jira wiki markup in ADO output: no *bold*, no * item bullets, no h2. headings, no {code}...{code} blocks.
• Use - item for bullets and 1. item for numbered lists.
