Post Text (Key Excerpt)
stale PRs with critical testing decisions is exactly the why that gets buried. PR open 2 weeks, merged with looks good, context gone.
Why It Matches Ryva ICP
It gives a specific failure pattern: long-lived PRs, weak approval language, and loss of testing rationale.
Underlying Problem
Delayed PR cycles erase decision context, so risky changes merge without explicit test intent.
Suggested Public Response (Copy)
The two-week PR is the smell. Once review intent collapses to "looks good," nobody can reconstruct what risk was accepted. Teams need explicit decision notes before merge, not after.
Suggested DM Idea (Copy)
When a PR sits for days, do you require reviewers to restate risk and test assumptions before approval?
