Subject: [PATCH] feat(db): auto-close picked-up tickets on sprint stop
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

sprint stop now marks in_progress/review tickets as done
automatically — agents often forget to update status after merging.
Backlog/ready tickets are left as carry-over candidates since they
were never started.
