Backlog governance: 12 lanes, 11 gated, 1 tooling defect caught
A twelve-lane ticket roster gated by an explicit duplicate sweep, which caught a real tooling defect before it produced a false result.
A twelve-lane ticket roster created only after an explicit duplicate sweep, with a deliberate New-versus-Ready gate that keeps eleven of twelve lanes blocked until an upstream quality gate passes, and a real tooling defect the sweep discipline caught before it could produce a false 'nothing exists' report. Dispatching many parallel AI agents against a backlog without a duplicate-check and gate discipline risks redundant work and tickets created on top of a tool that silently lies about its own filter. Evidence: the roster record itself, including the exact defect (a query flag that silently ignores its filter and returns unfiltered results while exiting zero) and the independent method used to route around it.
