T05 entry 4: wire consumer relations and refresh issue-core evidence.
Add supports/related_to for vergabe-teilnahme and activity-core, cite
SCOPE.md, update test count to 120 (verified), and document dual-canonical
relationship with CAPABILITY-issue-tracking.yaml.

id: capability.infotech.issue-tracking
name: Universal Issue Tracking Coordination
summary: Unified Python/CLI interface for issue tracking across Gitea, GitHub, and GitLab, preventing
direct platform API usage and credential sprawl for coordinating agents.
owner: issue-core
status: draft
domain: infotech
tags:
- issue-tracking
- coordination
- multi-platform
maturity:
discovery:
current: D4
target: D5
confidence: high
rationale: SCOPE.md, CAPABILITY-issue-tracking.yaml (agent-integration deep spec), AGENT_INTEGRATION.md,
ROADMAP.md, and .capability/ feedback cover usage rules, API surface, and credential handling. This
registry entry is the federation-facing normalization of that material — the YAML manifest remains
the detailed agent-integration companion, not superseded.
availability:
current: A2
target: A3
confidence: high
rationale: Both a Python API (`from issue_core.backends.gitea import GiteaBackend`) and a CLI (`issue
list/create/show/edit/close/comment`, JSON output) are installable via pip; MCP server is planned
but not yet available.

discovery:
intent: Give coordinating agents a single, credential-safe interface for issue tracking across Gitea/GitHub/GitLab
instead of direct platform API calls, CLI wrapping, or custom scripts.
includes:
- unified Python API and CLI over Gitea/GitHub/GitLab issue operations

# Universal Issue Tracking Coordination
## Overview
`issue-core` is a universal interface for issue-tracking coordination across Gitea, GitHub, and GitLab, giving agents a unified Python API and CLI instead of direct platform API calls. This registry entry is the federation-facing form of the repo's `CAPABILITY-issue-tracking.yaml` manifest (120 tests, 61% coverage, documented usage rules and credential handling). The YAML file remains the detailed agent-integration companion.
## Assessment notes
### Discovery
Repo already carries its own detailed capability manifest (CAPABILITY-issue-tracking.yaml) plus AGENT_INTEGRATION.md, ROADMAP.md, and a .capability/ feedback-submission mechanism; usage rules, API surface, and credential handling are all explicitly documented. This entry migrates that existing description into the standard registry location rather than drafting fresh.
### Availability
Both a Python API (`from issue_core.backends.gitea import GiteaBackend`) and a CLI (`issue list/create/show/edit/close/comment`, JSON output) are installable via pip; MCP server is planned but not yet available.
### Completeness
First-pass honest assessment from the REUSE-WP-0017 coverage campaign
(reuse-surface). No external consumer feedback exists yet; levels reflect
scope-vs-intent documentation quality, not internal code quality.
### Reliability
No production consumer telemetry exists yet; reliability level is
intentionally conservative pending REUSE-WP-0019 reuse-telemetry evidence.
## Promotion checklist
- [x] ID follows `capability.<domain>.<name>` pattern
- [x] Maturity enums match `specs/CapabilityMaturityStandard.md`
- [x] `external_evidence` is populated separately from `maturity`
- [x] Relations reference valid capability IDs (vergabe-teilnahme, activity-core)
- [x] Index entry added in `registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml`
