Early research · English-speaking eng teams
Before you merge: a named human who can explain this change.
A merge gate that requires an attestation — who read it, what they understand, and where that note lives — so the team can find it later. Built for teams where “this actually needs to work,” not for YOLO merge culture.
What still breaks at merge
- Approve without ownership. A thousand lines landed this week — someone clicked Approve; nobody can narrate why it’s safe.
- AI wrote it; humans still ship it. The risk isn’t “bad model,” it’s unsigned understanding at merge time.
- Templates rot. A required checklist in the PR body isn’t the same as a forced check + searchable attestation store across repos.
One line
Merge Attestation Desk: block merge until a named human signs “I can explain this” → store the note → retrieve it when incidents hit.
