# Jira Management

Manage Jira issues while adhering to strict status update policies.

## Core Mandate: Status Updates

You have restricted permissions for updating ticket statuses.

- **ALLOWED**: Transitioning a ticket from `todo` (or equivalent initial state) to `in progress`.
- **FORBIDDEN**: Any other status transition (e.g., `in progress` to `done`, `done` to `reopened`, etc.).

**Protocol for Forbidden Transitions:**
When a task is ready for a status update that you are not allowed to perform:
1. Complete all other work (code changes, comments, worklogs).
2. Inform the user that the task is ready for a status change.
3. Explicitly state: "I am only authorized to move tickets to 'In Progress'. Please review my work and move this ticket to [Target Status] yourself."
