Linear for human-owned work and agent-executed handoff. Keep the human as assignee, delegate the issue to an agent with `--delegate`, and require proof before `--done` closes the loop.

Use the same shell contract whether you're typing or a subagent is: query the queue, delegate the work, ship progress notes, and close only with evidence. Single-file Python (stdlib only) keeps install and audit overhead low, but the moat is the delegation workflow.

How a Linear ticket becomes a PR: a human files the ticket and stays the assignee, an agent becomes the delegate, ships a PR plus proof, then the human reviews. linear-cli is the contract between them.
