+# Design: Migrate backlog-core commands to specfact-backlog
+
+## Context
+
+The `backlog-core` module was deleted in commit 978cc82, removing 9 command implementations:
+- `add` (27KB - interactive/non-interactive item creation)
+- `analyze_deps` (dependency graph analysis)
+- `sync` (bidirectional backlog sync)
+- `delta` (delta analysis subcommands)
+- `diff` (backlog state comparison)
+- `promote` (hierarchy promotion)
+- `verify_readiness` (DoR validation)
+- `trace_impact` (impact analysis)
+- `generate_release_notes` (release notes generation)
+
+Source code exists in:
+- Worktree: `specfact-cli-worktrees/feature/agile-01-feature-hierarchy/modules/backlog-core/`
+- Git history: `git show 978cc82^:modules/backlog-core/`
+
+Target location: `specfact-cli-modules/packages/specfact-backlog/src/specfact_backlog/`
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Recover all deleted command implementations
+- Integrate commands into specfact-backlog bundle structure
+- Maintain backward-compatible CLI surface (`specfact backlog add`, etc.)
+- Preserve existing tests and add integration coverage
+- Add ceremony aliases for high-impact commands
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Re-implement from scratch (use existing code)
+- Modify command behavior (migration only, no feature changes)
+- Support backlog-core as standalone module (bundle-only)
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Source Recovery Strategy
+
+**Decision**: Copy from worktree (most recent) rather than git history.
+
+**Rationale**: Worktree `feature/agile-01-feature-hierarchy` contains the latest backlog-core code before deletion, including any fixes applied during backlog-core-07 work.
+
+### 2. Code Organization
+
+**Decision**: Structure under `backlog/commands/` with submodules:
+```
+specfact_backlog/backlog/commands/
+  add.py
+  sync.py
+  delta.py
+  analyze_deps.py
+  diff.py
+  promote.py
+  verify.py
+  release_notes.py
+  trace_impact.py
+```
+
+**Rationale**: Keeps commands organized and consistent with specfact-backlog's existing structure.
+
+### 3. Integration Pattern
+
+**Decision**: Register commands via existing `commands.py` app, following same pattern as `daily`/`refine`:
+```python
+@app.command()
+def add(...): ...
+```
+
+**Rationale**: Consistent with specfact-backlog's current command registration. No new Typer apps needed.
+
+### 4. Ceremony Aliases
+
+**Decision**: Add ceremony aliases for high-frequency commands:
+- `backlog ceremony add` → `backlog add`
+- `backlog ceremony sync` → `backlog sync`
+
+**Rationale**: Aligns with existing ceremony pattern (standup → daily, refinement → refine).
+
+### 5. Import Path Updates
+
+**Decision**: Update imports from `backlog_core.*` to `specfact_backlog.backlog.*`.
+
+**Rationale**: Required for bundle integration. May require moving shared utilities to common locations.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| Import dependencies on deleted core modules | Audit and replace with specfact-backlog equivalents |
+| Test dependencies on backlog-core structure | Update test imports and fixtures |
+| Duplicate code with specfact-backlog utilities | Refactor to use shared utilities where possible |
+| Command ordering conflicts | Use `_BacklogCommandGroup` `_ORDER_PRIORITY` |
+
+## Implementation Sequence
+
+1. Copy command files from worktree to specfact-backlog
+2. Update imports and fix dependency issues
+3. Register commands in main `commands.py`
+4. Add ceremony aliases
+5. Copy and adapt tests
+6. Run quality gates
+7. Validate with `openspec validate`

+# Change: Migrate backlog-core commands to specfact-backlog bundle
+
+## Why
+
+
+Commit 978cc82 deleted the `backlog-core` module (containing `add`, `analyze-deps`, `trace-impact`, `verify-readiness`, `diff`, `sync`, `promote`, `generate-release-notes`, `delta` commands) as part of backlog ownership cleanup. However, these commands were never migrated to the `nold-ai/specfact-backlog` bundle. Result: documented commands are missing from the CLI, creating a product/runtime alignment gap where README and docs describe commands that fail with "No such command".
+
+## What Changes
+
+
+- **RECOVER** deleted backlog-core command implementations from worktree/git history
+- **MIGRATE** commands into `specfact-backlog` bundle under appropriate subcommand structure
+- **INTEGRATE** command registrations with specfact-backlog's Typer app structure
+- **ADD** ceremony aliases for high-impact commands (e.g., `backlog ceremony add` → `backlog add`)
+- **UPDATE** docs to reflect restored command availability
+- **DEPRECATE** legacy backlog-core module references in favor of bundle-only ownership
+
+## Capabilities
+### New Capabilities
+
+- `backlog-add`: Interactive and non-interactive backlog item creation with parent validation, DoR checks, and adapter-specific payload construction (GitHub, ADO).
+- `backlog-sync`: Bidirectional backlog synchronization with cross-adapter state mapping and lossless round-trip support.
+- `backlog-delta`: Delta analysis commands (status, impact, cost-estimate, rollback-analysis) for backlog graph change tracking.
+- `backlog-analyze-deps`: Dependency graph analysis for backlog items with cycle detection and impact surfacing.
+- `backlog-verify-readiness`: Definition of Ready (DoR) validation against configurable rules before sprint planning.
+- `backlog-diff`: Compare backlog states between snapshots or adapters.
+- `backlog-promote`: Promote backlog items through hierarchy (story → feature → epic) with state preservation.
+- `backlog-generate-release-notes`: Generate release notes from backlog item collections and completion status.
+
+### Modified Capabilities
+
+- `daily-standup`: Extend ceremony alias coverage to include migrated commands where appropriate.
+- `backlog-daily-markdown-normalization`: Ensure migrated commands support Markdown normalization for consistency.
+
+## Dependencies
+- `backlog-module-ownership-cleanup` (archived): Established that specfact-backlog should own all backlog commands.
+- `module-migration-10-bundle-command-surface-alignment`: Validates documented vs runtime command surface; this change closes the backlog gap.

+## ADDED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: Restore backlog add command functionality
+
+The system SHALL provide `specfact backlog add` command that creates backlog items with the same functionality as the deleted backlog-core implementation.
+
+#### Scenario: Add command creates GitHub issue
+- **WHEN** the user runs `specfact backlog add --adapter github --project-id <owner/repo> --type story --title "Test" --body "Body"`
+- **THEN** a GitHub issue is created with the specified title, body, and type
+- **AND** the command outputs the created issue ID, key, and URL
+
+#### Scenario: Add command creates ADO work item
+- **WHEN** the user runs `specfact backlog add --adapter ado --project-id <org/project> --type story --title "Test"`
+- **THEN** an ADO work item is created with the specified title and type
+- **AND** required custom fields are validated and included in payload
+
+#### Scenario: Interactive mode prompts for missing fields
+- **WHEN** the user runs `specfact backlog add` without required fields
+- **THEN** interactive prompts request title, body, type, and parent
+- **AND** validation ensures parent exists before create
+
+#### Scenario: DoR validation before create
+- **WHEN** the user runs `specfact backlog add --check-dor`
+- **THEN** the item is validated against `.specfact/dor.yaml` rules
+- **AND** creation proceeds only if DoR criteria are met
+
+#### Scenario: Ceremony alias works
+- **WHEN** the user runs `specfact backlog ceremony add`
+- **THEN** the command forwards to `specfact backlog add`
+- **AND** all add options are available
