# 04-ISSUES
The front door for "something is wrong" at the level of the mesh's design or governance.
Diagnosis happens here, where the whole mesh is in view; the fix lands in the owning code
repository.
## What belongs here
| Belongs here | Belongs in the knowledge base |
|---|---|
| The design permits a failure to be silent | How to fix one occurrence of it |
| A documented rule is enforced by nothing | A command that works around it |
| A stated invariant is false in practice | A node-specific quirk |
| The owner is unknown and finding it needs the whole mesh in view | Symptom → fix, once the answer is known |
The knowledge base already holds the operational record and is indexed on symptoms. **This
folder is not a second copy of it.** An issue here is a question HQ must *answer*; an entry
there is an incident someone must *clear*. An issue whose answer is a general lesson belongs in
both.
## Structure
```
NNN-short-name/
00-report.md the symptom as observed, with the evidence
01-diagnosis.md the investigation trail, dated, including what was ruled out
```
`NNN` is the number the issue tracker gave. The issue's status, owner (`located-in`), fix (`fixed-by`),
design amendment and replay live in the tracker — `issue-tracker.get NNN` — not here
([ADR 0275](../02-DECISIONS/0275-the-mesh-numbers-and-tracks-its-issues-in-a-module-of-its-own-and-hq-keeps-only-the-narrative-of-a-design-or-governance-issue.md)).
## Frontmatter, on `00-report.md`
```yaml
---
opened: YYYY-MM-DD
---
```
The report's first heading is `# NNN. The title`, the title the tracker holds. A report opened after the
import of slice 3 carries no `status:`, `located-in:`, `fixed-by:`, `amended-design:`, `replay:` or
`replay-none:`; `cycle.py` refuses them. The folders numbered 001 to 364 keep those keys as the snapshot the
import took, dated in ADR 0275; they are not kept up to date, and nobody edits them.
## Rules
- Anyone may open an issue. No localisation is required to report one.
- The full flow is playbook [`00-META/process/03-issues.md`](../00-META/process/03-issues.md).
- Closed issues are never deleted — they are the mesh's symptom-to-component memory.
- `wontfix` is legitimate and requires a sentence saying why.
