T-AVRD-post-mortem-stub-md049-safe-emphasis

Status: closed/superseded · Impact: medium · Complexity: small

Goal

This repo’s start_task.ts appends a ## Post-mortem stub whose emphasis markers can flip a task file’s majority emphasis style and strand the author’s pre-existing prose under MD049. Closing this gap — originating from T-7EJO-extract-corpus-depgraph-module in git@github.com:sksizer/dev.git — keeps the appended stub from retroactively flagging spec prose as drift. The originating task framed the problem as:

start_task.ts’s appended ## Post-mortem stub uses underscore emphasis, which flips a task file’s MD049 majority emphasis style and retroactively flags pre-existing asterisk emphasis in the spec prose as new drift. Fix: emit the stub with no emphasis, or have task creation pre-normalize emphasis style, so the stub cannot strand author prose.
