Templates And Assets
- Sync decision log:
assets/pr-sync-decision-log-template.md
- Sync verification checklist:
assets/pr-sync-checklist.md
Inputs To Gather
- Current PR divergence and base branch update scope.
- Repository policy for open-PR synchronization.
- CI requirements and review continuity expectations.
- Conflict complexity and affected critical files.
Deliverables
- Chosen synchronization strategy with rationale.
- Conflict resolution notes for reviewers.
- Post-sync verification results.
- Updated PR context for review continuity.
Workflow
- Confirm sync necessity and policy constraints.
- Choose strategy using
references/sync-strategy-selection.md. - Execute sync and record rationale in
assets/pr-sync-decision-log-template.md. - Resolve conflicts with reviewer-facing notes.
- Re-run checks and verify completion via
assets/pr-sync-checklist.md.
Quality Standard
- Strategy choice is policy-compliant and explicitly justified.
- Conflict resolutions preserve intended behavior, not just clean merge state.
- Required checks are rerun after sync.
- Reviewer context is updated to avoid hidden history changes.
Failure Conditions
- Stop when selected strategy violates repository policy.
- Stop when semantic conflicts remain unresolved after sync.
- Escalate when repeated drift indicates base-branch integration process issues.
