Any Java change that must be merged safely (feature/refactor/bugfix).
Inputs to request (if missing)
Acceptance criteria (1-3 bullets).
Module name (if multi-module repo).
Build tool and test conventions.
Whether integration tests are required for the change.
Steps
Repo map (brief): identify the module, entrypoint, and test location.
Plan: smallest diff that meets acceptance criteria.
Implement: minimal edits.
Tests:
prefer fast unit tests first
add integration tests only when required to validate behavior
Verify:
run targeted tests
run mvn -q test (or module-scoped equivalent)
Output PR-ready summary with evidence.
Verification commands (project-specific)
Use the repo's build tool and record the exact commands and results.
Prefer targeted unit tests before full test suites.
Output contract
Plan (3-6 steps)
Files changed + intent
Commands run + results
Risks + follow-ups
