Readiness check
Is the handoff ready?
Use this table before you send the first ticket. Fix the weak spots while access is still limited.
| Area | Ready | Needs work |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | One named behavior with acceptance rules | A broad improvement request |
| Evidence | Fixture and observed result | An unverified claim |
| Access | Task-limited named access | Shared credentials or live data |
| Review | Owner-approved next action | Unreviewed policy or release change |
Outsource frontend state management cleanup with behavior proof
Map server data, pending edits, optimistic state, and errors through one contained user flow before changing state ownership.
Test refresh, back navigation, retry, partial response, and failed submission. Separate behavior fixes from broad architectural cleanup.
Provide a narrow diff, fixture, observed result, and untested condition for owner review.
- Define the behavior and boundary.
- Use representative safe fixtures.
- Record observed evidence and gaps.
- Escalate owner decisions.
Leave a decision-ready handoff
Include the fixture, expected result, observed result, and untested condition so the next reviewer can act without repeating the investigation.
Keep product policy, customer impact, access exceptions, merge authority, and release timing with the company owner.
