Work a PR

One issue → one branch → one PR. Drive to green CI with no open review threads.

Open

1. Branch off master: claude/fix-<issue>-<slug>.
2. Implement the smallest correct change. Add a regression test that fails before, passes after.
3. Add a ## [unreleased] entry in CHANGELOG.md referencing #<issue> (skip for changes that aren't user-relevant, e.g. tooling).
4. Lint and run related tests locally: ruff check + ruff format --check, and DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=tests.settings python -m pytest <paths>.
5. Commit, push -u. Open the PR filling .github/pull_request_template.md; Fixes #<issue>.
6. Request a Copilot review. Subscribe to PR activity. Arm a ~1h fallback check-in.

On each CI / review event

• Fix if confident and small; rebut if the suggestion is wrong; skip duplicates/no-ops.
• Push the fix (prefer a follow-up commit; only force-push when you intentionally rebased, and always use --force-with-lease).
• Reply on each review thread, then resolve it — not a PR-level comment.
• Re-request Copilot review. Repeat until CI green and Copilot has no comments.

When master advances

When the branch falls behind master while the PR is open — it shows merge conflicts against the base, or CI ran against a now-stale base — rebase onto the latest master and force-push with lease:

git fetch upstream
git rebase --autostash upstream/master
# resolve conflicts, re-run the affected tests
git push --force-with-lease

Rules

• Reply on threads only; no PR-level status comments.
• Never git add -A — stage explicit paths, so stray untracked files (local venvs, build output, editor scratch) are never committed.
• Don't poll with sleep; events + the fallback check-in wake you. Re-arm it silently if nothing changed.
• Don't self-merge. A subscription ends only when the PR is merged/closed.
