Development record

2026-10-25 — Ruling by the product thinker on 2026-10-24, after no preflight could pass on one machine running seven sessions: quiet hours for landing. While one session's preflight runs, the other sessions pause CPU work (no preflight and no go test), so branches land in turn. The first to land is the fix that gives the unit stage a 40-minute budget and splits the three slowest packages into test shards, joined with the fixes for the tests that fail under load, since every other preflight needs both. The overnight cut planned in the release-plan decision did not run: it waits until that fix has landed.
