Development record
The messaging press release promises that a colleague's session sees an announcement such as 'merging the login fix' before the session that made it pushes. The build guarantees it only before the work merges into the main line, at the land step. The product thinker chose on 2026-10-16 to make the build keep the promise rather than reword it.

The messaging press release promises that a colleague's session sees an announcement such as 'merging the login fix' before the session that made it pushes. The build guarantees it only before the work merges into the main line, at the land step. The product thinker chose on 2026-10-16 to make the build keep the promise rather than reword it.
Design notes 2026-10-16 (from abcd-a9, the messaging-design session, for whoever builds this)
- Keep it out of the pre-push hook if possible. AGENTS.md records why preflight left the pre-push hook: git opens the push connection before the hook runs, and long work there outlasted the transport's idle timeout, so the push reported success and moved nothing. An announcement pushed from inside pre-push adds a second network round trip (a listing and a push) inside that same window. Either keep it short and bounded, or announce before
git pushin the verbs that push. - The hook doesn't cover cloud sessions. The cloud probe showed the pre-push hook does not run there, so
abcd landandabcd announcemust keep the promise, not the hook. - A publishing hook is a new network actor. Invariant 7 names the verbs allowed to fetch status. A hook that publishes, and so must list or fetch first, needs a clause in the same change, or that path is ruled out. If the record can't settle which, that point goes to the product thinker.

- dcn-26101616453607192026-10-16 — The messaging intent's promise holds as written (product thinker, 2026-10-16): a colleague's session sees an announcement before the session that made it pushes, not only before the work merges, so the build changes to publish the announcement ahead of the push rather than the press release being reworded (iss-2610161645224876).
- dcn-26101706552025472026-10-17 — Only abcd's own pushes post an announcement before they push (abcd land, and a drain lane's landing); a push a person types by hand with git posts none, and the docs say so. The product thinker chose this on 2026-10-17 over posting from the pre-push hook or refusing an unannounced push there. Refines dcn-2610161645360719 and settles how iss-2610161645224876 keeps the messaging promise.
- dcn-26101707041897122026-10-17 — When abcd cannot publish the announcement it owes before one of its own pushes (abcd land, or a build or drain lane's landing), it refuses that push with the reason and pushes nothing, and running the verb again resumes; it never pushes and warns afterwards. A record not yet on origin's default branch is not announced, since an announcement names only a public record, and the push goes on with a line saying so. Decided by the facilitating agent on 2026-10-17 under dcn-2610170655202547: a push that is made and then flagged has already broken the promise a colleague reads, land and the loop are built to be run again, and a person who must push regardless can still push by hand, which posts nothing (iss-2610161645224876).
- dcn-26101707041911292026-10-17 — abcd land announces merging for each issue, intent or pull request that the branch's own commits, those not on origin's default branch, name in a Refs:, Resolves: or Delivers: trailer; a branch whose commits name none announces nothing, and its land says so. A build or drain lane announces its own record. An item whose announcement by the same person still stands for a minute more is not announced again. Decided by the facilitating agent on 2026-10-17: those trailers are how abcd's changes already name the records they work (AGENTS.md), so no new flag or input is needed (iss-2610161645224876, dcn-2610170655202547).
