Jira add-ons cost more than Jira

No native way to know what's actually been tested before a release goes out.
They quietly break trust the first time someone forgets to update a row.
Write cases by hand or generate drafts from a PR diff.
Mark each case pass, fail, or blocked as you go.
A failed case opens a real ticket in Jira or GitHub — no re-typing.
One link: pass rate, open bugs, safe-to-ship — sent to whoever's asking.
PRODUCT
Every case gets a priority, a result, and a timestamp. Nothing gets silently skipped.
Mark a case failed and Signoff files it in Jira or GitHub with the steps already filled in.
Paste a PR diff or spec, get a reviewable checklist. You approve before anything saves.
