Discover and select the next ticket to work on via tkt.

Steps

Verify prerequisites:
- tkt doctor passes
- tkt on PATH
Identify current user:
```
tkt whoami
```
Run tiers 1–5 in order until one returns selectable tickets:
```
tkt list --tier N --json
```
Filter out blocked tickets with tkt blockers KEY --json.
Tier 1 or 2 (assigned work):
- Emit SELECTED: <KEY>
- Hand off to triage-ticket
Tier 3–5 (unassigned/backlog):
- Print up to 5 ranked candidates
- Include: Key, Type, type_class, Priority, Summary, Effort (S/M/L), Est. tokens, Est. wall time, Blockers?, After-hours?, Why this one
- Wait for human pick

After-hours deferral (optional)

Configured via the [schedule] table and evaluated by tkt schedule --json, which reports label and in_window (exit 2 = misconfigured: fail closed and defer). Ask it in the same step that partitions the candidates, since that step may run in a fresh shell. During business hours, candidates carrying the label are deferred: Tier 1/2 auto-select picks the first non-deferred candidate, falling back to the first deferred one only when no other exists (note it — deploy holds until after hours); Tier 3–5 never hard-filter — sort deferred last and mark the After-hours? column.

Rules

Never auto-select unassigned work
All ticketing access goes through tkt
type_class (full_sdlc or deliverable) determines downstream routing
