refactor: rename bmad-preview-ticketing to bmad-ticket - #2979
Conversation
The ticketing skill is no longer a preview; it is how BMad plans and tracks work. Rename the skill, update every reference, and drop the preview wording from the docs. The setup page moves to set-up-the-ticket-tree with a redirect from the old URL.

Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes Change: Refactor Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Existing users with custom epic-cut rules may lose them after upgrading unless they rename the old config file. Add the migration step; the impact is limited to those users and is recoverable by renaming the file. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new skill name is consistent across the updated entry points, and the documentation redirect does not show a new security exposure. Existing users may nevertheless lose their ticket-skill customizations or retain two discoverable skill identities unless the accompanying installer handles the rename. That upgrade behavior has not been verified here. Retained concerns

| ### How epics are cut | ||
|
|
||
| An epic is one capability that one owner delivers to production. A module, service, or bounded context can be an epic when it is also the ownership or deployment boundary. A unit the work only consumes or configures gets no epic. It is a touch point, named in the initiative's Boundaries with the epic that owns the work there. If your team cuts epics by its own rule, tell the skill and it offers to save the rule to `_bmad/custom/bmad-preview-ticketing.toml`. | ||

Document the custom-rules migration for existing users.
The accessible upgrade instructions do not tell users to rename _bmad/custom/bmad-preview-ticketing.toml to _bmad/custom/bmad-ticket.toml. Add this step so existing epic-cut rules remain available after the upgrade.

npx skills update does not install a renamed skill. Keep the old name as a forwarder that tells preview users about the rename, gives the install command, offers to rename their custom override file, and hands the request to bmad-ticket. Add a Breaking changelog entry.
