Closed-Loop Autonomous Software Development via Jira-Integrated Backlog Orchestration: A Case Study in Deterministic Control and Safety-Constrained Automation

This paper presents a closed-loop system for software lifecycle management framed as a control architecture rather than a code-generation tool. The system manages a backlog of approximately 1,602 rows across seven task families, ingests 13 structured source documents, and executes a deterministic seven-stage pipeline implemented as seven scheduled automation lanes. The automation stack comprises approximately 12,661 lines of Python across 23 scripts plus 6,907 lines of versioned prompt specifications, with checkpoint-based time budgets, 101 exception handlers, and 12 centralized lock mechanisms implemented through four core functions and eight reusable patterns. A Jira Status Contract pro...
