Built elsewhere
When an item is already being built outside the engine, a planned route for it would build it twice. Now a person can say so: the route goes, no engine picks the item up, and it still lands from its PR.
Read itSkipping a parked node closes its park
A node that stopped to ask a question, then got skipped, used to leave its question open and its session's key still working. Now a skip closes the park, and putting the node back gives you a clean one.
Tell the session what its PR still needs, from the item
Once an engine opens a PR, the item used to have no way back to the session that built it. Now you write the change on the item, or press Address this on a finding, and SLEDS hands it to that session. If the session has ended, SLEDS starts a new one on the PR's branch.
The last merge lands the item
A route's last node could merge and leave its item on the sled, with everything waiting on it still blocked. Now the last node's merge lands the item, whoever holds it.
A skip never lands an item
Skipping a node used to close the route, and a route that closed landed its item. Now a skip only steps a node aside: the item stays open, the route says so, and an item that landed by mistake can be put back.
A parent lands with its children
An epic could land from its own route while its children were still open. Now an item waits for every child to land, and an item with children takes no route of its own: the order lives in the children's blockedBy.
Where the business meets engineering
The expensive part of software was never the build. It was the distance between the person who needed something and the person who could make it. Here is how a request crosses it now.
Orchestration that meets the engineer where they are
An orchestrator should not own the harness, the model or the machine. The same node runs on your Mac, on a coworker's sled, or in the cloud, and the record reads the same either way.
Approve or Auto, and the other four settings that decide what runs on your machine
The engine's settings panel is short on purpose. Here is each setting, what it defaults to, and why the defaults are conservative.
