The Codebase Your Successor Will Thank You For
Step 10 closes the loop: amend the ADRs, update the metrics, write the close-out note. Why the final 45 minutes of a feature determine whether the next one is harder or easier

One review gate catches one class of failures. The ANN SDLC uses three gates — each one designed to catch what the other two structurally cannot

Why bounded context turns an 847-line PR into a 298-line PR — and how the implementation plan creates the boundary that keeps AI generation predictable

The cost of writing an ADR is 45 minutes. The cost of not writing one is three days of production investigation, six months later. Here's the math

How five verifiable acceptance criteria constrain what the AI builds — and why a single 15-second criterion prevented a two-day bug investigation

The business intent document is the foundation everything else builds on. What goes in it, why the 'so that' clause matters, and what it costs to skip it

CI green doesn't mean the feature is correct. Why AI self-testing creates a blind spot that only human verification at Step 6 can close

Why AI-generated codebases look perfect at demo and collapse at handoff — and the 14 documentation gaps that cause every preventable failure

How an AI's silent backward-compatibility decision turned into a 40-hour production investigation — and why ADRs are the only reliable defense

Every commit is a message to a future engineer debugging your code at 2am. How writing commit messages from the implementation plan makes that message useful

A 623-line PR with no context is unreviable. How writing PR descriptions from the implementation plan — not the diff — makes every review tractable
