Investigating a message about code changes
Message prompts action on code
The situation
They received a message about changes to some code, which seemed to require action. The message mentioned specific changes and their implementation. They were unsure how to proceed, but the message seemed to ask for concrete changes. They wanted to see the changes in action and understand how they worked. The changes had been made to a main branch, indicating they were ready to be used.
What they weighed
Act on the message and verify the result
Keep it as context when no action is called for
What they decided
Act on the message and verify the result
Why
The message explicitly asked for changes to be made, and all the changes had been implemented. They wanted to see the changes working as expected, which is why they decided to act on the message. This would help them understand how the changes functioned and if they were working correctly.
The first step
They would open a specific feature to see the changes in action, which would show them working on a graph canvas. This would help them verify if the changes were working as expected.
How they would know it worked
The success of their actions would be measured by the implementation of each request in a specific file or by the changes being carried by a named process until they were live.
How it turned out
Not known yet. The result is added here when it comes in.
