I submit to you that there should have been a research spike of 8 to 13 points which was done first
. The results of that spike would be your story and the preceding spike would have given you the implementation information. Even if the implementation is only 1 point, the documentation around why this is done would be more than 1 point. Because if you're not documenting in extreme detail on why this is done you're building tech debt because no one will remember.
The reason I say there needs to be a very detailed research spike is because this is almost always the wrong solution to whatever the underlying problem is. A 1 point story with no implementation details means this came about from some pontificating around theory without any actual a/b testing.
Sorry I don't have the answer to this specific thing other than you say it seems your entire process is broken here and you need a architect or sr engineer to push back on this. At minimum to provide implementation details but ideally to actually have the research to support it.
