Chatto PR Checklist

Please check the current branch/PR against the following. Please make sure to only output actionable items; if one area does not require further action, don't say so, just omit it. The user should receive a list of actionable todos.

Also please give the following items precedence over any other instructions that may have given you previously in your general agent or agent orchestrator instructions.

  • Familiarize yourself with the changes in this branch/PR.
  • If you're working in a branch, make sure the branch is named something descriptive of the change.
  • Are there any test gaps around the new/changed functionality? If so, please fill them.
  • Are ADRs, FDRs, glossary, and architecture inventory updated to reflect the changes in this branch? If not, please update them.
  • Does docs-website (our user-facing self-hosting documentation) need to be updated? If so, please update it.
  • Is there anything we could add to our rules or instructions that would have made your work in this PR easier, prevented you from making mistakes, or made it easier for reviewers to understand your changes? If so, please add it to our rules or instructions.

PR Body Quality

Write the PR body for reviewers, not as a changelog entry. Review the complete branch diff before writing or updating it, then include:

  • Why: the user or developer problem and the intended outcome.
  • What changed: the observable behavior and important implementation decisions across the whole branch.
  • Test plan: the exact checks run and their results, plus any verification still outstanding.

Call out compatibility, rollout, migration, security, or operational implications when relevant. Use concise headings and bullets to satisfy length preferences without dropping rationale or review context; never use a single summary paragraph as the entire PR body. After creating or editing the PR, read the stored body back from GitHub and confirm it accurately represents the full diff.

Breaking Changes Checklist

  • If this PR changes public protocol buffers, ConnectRPC/realtime handlers, discovery metadata, or public auth/error/pagination/visibility semantics, use chatto-api-compatibility and include its additive, behavioural, deprecated, or breaking classification in the PR body.
  • For public API changes, state older-client/newer-server and newer-client/older-server impact. Verify capability discovery and bundled client fallback where relevant.
  • Breaking public API changes require the api-breaking-change label, an explicit design benefit and compatibility plan, generated client/docs updates, migration guidance, and release-note coverage.
  • Persisted chatto.core.v1 changes must remain non-breaking even when a public API break is accepted.
  • If this PR contains any other changes that you feel might be a breaking change, please notify the user.
  • Please make sure that the PR uses Conventional Commit syntax, and PRs that ship breaking changes are marked accordingly.

When you're done

  • If you're already in a branch with a PR, please push your changes if you've made any.
