During ticket #263's run, the worktree's .sdlc/tickets/263/ (artifact.yml, ticket.txt, review.txt) disappeared between the last gate run and teardown; no 263 dir existed anywhere under .sdlc/ afterward. First teardown attempt crashed in WorkspaceTicketArchiver#preserve_ticket_dir (FileUtils.cp_r realpath ENOENT on the missing source). Nothing in the session deleted it explicitly (workspace-housekeeping cleans .sdlc/tmp only; one lint-fixer disclosed an accidental git checkout, which shouldn't touch ignored .sdlc/ content). Two threads: (1) find what deletes the tickets dir; (2) archiver should degrade gracefully (skip + warn) when the ticket dir is absent instead of crashing.

Triage: current WorkspaceTicketArchiver#archivable_ticket_dir already guards with File.directory?(source), returning nil so #archive no-ops instead of crashing (thread 2 addressed). Thread 1 (what deletes .sdlc/tickets/N) remains uninvestigated -- leaving open.

Frozen in the 2026-08-16 backlog reset — see #419 for the expiry procedure. Do not work unless a live run rediscovers this issue.
