"Templates live under [issue_templates.<id>] in tix.toml, keyed by an immutable stable id.",
"tix create --template <id> merges the template's defaults and prompts with the normal create flags before the issue is written.",
"Required prompts and missing references fail before any file is written, so a failed form never creates a partial issue.",
"Template prompts are data-only: a prompt renders a field, and no template code is ever executed.",
"tix template duplicate copies a definition to a new stable id, leaving the source untouched.",
"Unknown template metadata round-trips verbatim, so an extension a future version writes is not lost.",
"The F11 Library page lists both saved views and templates, with the selected record's detail beside it.",
