Root Cause Analysis
The backlog accumulated because:
- Multiple Claude agents worked on related features simultaneously, creating stacked branches
- The branches were orphan commits or built on old main, causing add/add conflicts when the same files were added by multiple PRs
- No automated CI merge validation existed to catch conflicts early
Recommendations for Prevention
- Rebase before PR: Agents should rebase on current main before opening a PR
- Coordinate on shared files: When multiple agents add files to the same directory (e.g.,
evaluations/adversary/corpora/), a coordinator should sequence them - CI mergeability check: Add a Gitea workflow that fails if a PR has merge conflicts
- PR batch size: Keep PRs smaller and merge them faster to avoid conflict accumulation
