What signals do you actually check before merging a high-stakes PR?

Most teams have an informal mental checklist PR size, who wrote it, whether tests passed, time of day. But it's rarely written down, and it varies by person.

Curious what signals matter most to your team before you merge something you're nervous about. Is it coverage? CODEOWNERS sign-off? Who's on call? Something else entirely?

We let Claude write 100% of our code for 7 days. Here's what broke first.

Last week we did something stupid.

We paused all human coding. Gave Claude (Anthropic) access to our GitHub repo. Told it to build new features, fix bugs, and ship.

No human review. No guardrails. Just Claude and our codebase.

For 7 days, it ran the engineering team.
