Work Ownership

Every active change set has a single accountable owner (human or named agent role) and a clear done-when.

Ownership is not “who typed last.” It is who can say stop, who reconciles conflicts, and who carries the change through readiness and ship.

Unowned worktrees and orphan PRs are permanent smoke. Ownership makes tidy-up and merge possible.

  • Name owner on issues/PRs
  • Don’t start a parallel fix for the same bug without coordinating
  • Close or hand off — don’t abandon
