# Tracker operations The maintainers' private tracker (GitHub Issues on the private operations repository) is the sole authority for active work, current scope, defects, and accepted implementation deviations. Claude reads it freely and drafts issue bodies, files, and exact commands; by default a human runs every mutation, with the specific-request exception in Mutations below. ## Wiring and polite degradation Two optional machine-local pieces, wired per developer (the private repo is optional; a dev or tester without it is a fully supported configuration): - `FOOTBAG_PRIVATE_REPO` env var, set in the gitignored `.claude/settings.local.json`: `"env": { "FOOTBAG_PRIVATE_REPO": "<owner>/<repo>" }`. Required for any `gh` tracker call; check it is non-empty first. - `footbag_private_repo/` gitignored repo-root symlink to the private checkout. Needed only for drafting files there or reading the private ops docs. When a piece is absent, say exactly one line naming the wiring step, skip the part that needs it, and continue the rest of the job. Never hard-fail, never repeat the note, never block unrelated work. A scope check with no wiring means: proceed with the human's instruction as given. ## Orientation (read-only) - **Preferred, and approval-free on every machine:** the `gh` read forms below. The committed read-only approver grants them on their own merits, so they never prompt, on any developer's machine, with no absolute path anywhere. Use these by default:
