# Story 336: Web UI button to start a coder on a story

## User Story

As a project owner using the web UI, I want to click a button on a work item to start a coder on it, so that I can kick off work without using the terminal or chat bot.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] Start button visible on work items in backlog and current stages
- [ ] Clicking start assigns the default coder and moves the story to current if needed
- [ ] Option to select a specific agent (dropdown: coder-1, coder-2, coder-opus)
- [ ] Button disabled when all coders are busy (shows tooltip explaining why)
- [ ] UI updates immediately to show the assigned agent

## Out of Scope

- TBD
