Delivery discipline

Why one issue, one branch, and one PR matters

A guide to the branch discipline behind the workflow and why it keeps delivery easier to reason about.

The workflow prefers one execution issue, one ticket-derived branch, and one PR because it makes the project narrative easier to inspect.

If a branch mixes several unrelated goals, the proof becomes harder to interpret, the PR discussion loses focus, and the final merge no longer explains one clear change.

What this makes easier

  • understanding why a branch exists
  • checking whether the proof matches the scope
  • closing the right issue from the merge
  • cleaning up branches instead of letting them linger

This is less about rigid process and more about preserving trust. A branch should tell a coherent story from issue to proof to merge.

Summary

A branch tied to one execution issue keeps code, proof, and merge history easier to inspect.
