# Bug 72: Work item creation does not quote YAML special characters or include front matter
## Description ## Description
The create_story MCP tool writes the name value into YAML front matter without quoting. If the name contains YAML-special characters like colons, the resulting front matter is invalid YAML and fails to parse. Two related issues in server-side work item creation:
1. **create_story** writes the `name` value into YAML front matter without quoting. If the name contains YAML-special characters like colons, the resulting front matter is invalid YAML and fails to parse.
2. **create_bug** does not write YAML front matter at all (no `---` block with `name` and `test_plan`). The UI/parser expects front matter on all work items in the pipeline, so bug files show parse errors.
## How to Reproduce ## How to Reproduce
### Issue 1 (create_story)
1. Call create_story with a name containing a colon, e.g. "Server-owned agent completion: remove report_completion dependency" 1. Call create_story with a name containing a colon, e.g. "Server-owned agent completion: remove report_completion dependency"
2. Open the generated .md file 2. Open the generated .md file
3. Observe the front matter parser rejects it 3. Observe the front matter parser rejects it: "mapping values are not allowed in this context"
### Issue 2 (create_bug)
1. Call create_bug with any name
2. Open the generated .md file
3. Observe there is no YAML front matter block — just a markdown heading
## Actual Result ## Actual Result
Invalid front matter: mapping values are not allowed in this context - create_story: Invalid front matter when name contains colons
- create_bug: No front matter at all
## Expected Result ## Expected Result
The name value should be quoted in the front matter so special characters are safe, e.g. name: "My story: with colons" - All work item creation methods should write valid YAML front matter with quoted `name` values
- create_bug should include `---` front matter block with `name` and `test_plan` fields, consistent with create_story
## Acceptance Criteria ## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Bug is fixed and verified - [ ] create_story quotes name values containing YAML-special characters
- [ ] create_bug writes YAML front matter with name and test_plan fields
- [ ] Existing tests updated to cover special character handling
