Description

Refines the Kickoff definition in docs/agents/issue-tracker.md. A parallel session read the prior "thin trigger / does not own the scoping" framing and mistook the kickoff for an empty placeholder.

The kickoff is the opposite of empty: it holds the raw, unscoped brain-dump for an initiative — hypotheses, references to libraries/prior art, suspected blockers, open questions. It has content; it's just missing the chart. A later Wayfinder session reads that dump as its seed input and grills from there to produce the map.

  • Kickoff entry rewritten to lead with the brain-dump content and drop "thin trigger" (now in Avoid).
  • Wayfinder entry: "off a Kickoff placeholder" → "seeded by a Kickoff's brain-dump".
  • Optionality unchanged: skip the kickoff and the same thoughts go straight into a live Wayfinder session.
