Pinned story packets: how Developer keeps builds traceable

Introduction
Tickets that link to the 'latest' spec are a quiet source of rework. By the time code lands, the spec has moved.
What's in a packet
An approved story becomes one coding task pinned to its exact versions: scope, PRD, TDD and test cases. A change doesn't edit the packet; it creates a successor with a new ID.
Through to release
Release notes list the versions each feature was built on, so audits and rollbacks start from facts.
