Thread Lifecycle, Statuses & Triage

Actionable Micro-Tickets

Rather than simple static sticky notes, every comment dropped in UIDesigner functions as an actionable issue ticket with full triage metadata:

Annotation Number: Stable sequential numbering (#1, #2, #3) mirrored across canvas pins, sidebar cards, and notification emails.
Priority Triage: Critical, High, Medium, or Low.
Status Lifecycle:
Plan: Logged and awaiting review or architectural scheduling.
In Progress: Actively being worked on by an assigned engineer.
Pause: Blocked or awaiting design feedback/clarification.
Review: Implemented and awaiting QA or client verification.
Done: Successfully verified and closed.
Deferred: Postponed to a future sprint or release milestone.

Review threads can be assigned directly to specific team members:

Assignee: Assign ownership to one or more internal teammates.
Due Date: Set target completion deadlines with calendar alerts.
Effort Estimate: Tag items as Low, Medium, or High effort to assist sprint planning.

Control who can see sensitive feedback using thread audience tags:

Internal: Visible exclusively to organization team members (hidden from clients).
External: Visible to both internal staff and invited client reviewers.
Custom Teams: Restrict visibility to a specific functional team.
