Problem

A prose-only ticket has no red path in the poodr-ticket-implementation map. Implementation 7 of #874 escalated with unexpected_pass:test-writer/diff-test because the seam-designer told test-writer to write no Ruby test. The required-work gate runs only at the suite-check node (after programmer), so no node proves a prose ticket is red first. The docs map poodr-implementation was removed in #859 slice 1. skills/implement/SKILL.md still says docs, config, ADR-only, and spike tickets run on this map. That statement is false in practice.

Reproduce

n/a: design gap. Implement any ticket whose increment is prose only; test-writer writes no test and the diff-test gate reports an unexpected pass.

Approach

Choose one option.

Run required-work as the red gate at test-writer when the ticket has typed checks and no test-shaped increment.
Restore an approved docs map that map-router can select.

Rejected: hand-finishing each prose ticket — it bypasses the pipeline.

Acceptance criteria

Given a prose-only ticket with typed Required work checks, when the pipeline runs it, then a red gate confirms the checks fail before the edit.
Given the same ticket, when the pipeline completes, then no escalation occurs.

Origin

Trigger: os-sdlc implementation 7 of #874 escalated (escalation 3, unexpected_pass:test-writer/diff-test).
Improvised this session: hand-finished #874 as commit 83f95bbc.
Chain: unexpected_pass at test-writer ← seam-designer ordered no Ruby test ← required-work runs only at suite-check in plugins/os-sdlc/maps/poodr-ticket-implementation.yaml ← DESIGN (docs map poodr-implementation removed in #859 slice 1).
Root candidate: none.
Where: plugins/os-sdlc/maps/poodr-ticket-implementation.yaml; plugins/os-sdlc/skills/implement/SKILL.md
