Queue-shaping — [the friction] (ACTIVE)

Mode: queue-shaping · the rituals this board runs

Project: (the repo this board lives in)

Session title: (set at open and recorded here — Phase name · queue-shaping; this mode never splits; ask only when the title is not derivable)

Session open — YYYY-MM-DD

  • Friction named: [what the queue is wrong about — the idea with no row, the two rows that are one phase, the row the project outgrew]
  • Scope agreed with the PO: [what's being shaped]

Rows shaped

  • [each row added, split, reordered or dropped — a row and its seed move in the same edit]

Raised

What other boards found on this board's ground

Any board may write here; only this one drains it. An entry names what was found or changed, where, which board found it and when, and what this session owes. A note is never an item — read this section at your open, and where a ruling or a check is owed, author your own item from it, then delete the entry. Undrained entries hold the close (CONTRIBUTING.md → Rules shared by all modes).

  • (what was found or changed) · Where: (file or route) · From: (board), (date) · Owes: (judge | verify | nothing, FYI)

Close items

  • ## Raised drained — the section empty: every entry read, its own item authored where one was owed, the entry deleted (CONTRIBUTING.md → shared rules)
  • Hand off for verification — the shaped queue + the canon diff; board not deleted until the PO confirms
  • decisions.md only if the reasoning would surprise someone in six months
  • The next opening line handed off — the starter shape and mode, the name, one sentence of why, and where its context already sits; a pointer, not a briefing, and "nothing next" is a real answer (CONTRIBUTING.md → shared rules)
  • mode-pure commit; board deleted
