• engineering-blog
• TalkToFigmaDesktop
• grabpay-merchant-sdk

Agreed Change Plan

• Keep the blast radius limited to the files and interfaces identified during analysis.
• Preserve compatibility across any affected repositories and contracts surfaced during review.

Repository-by-Repository Work

engineering-blog

• Apply the agreed change within this guarded repository.
• Keep behavior aligned with the architect and gatekeeper review.
• Validate cross-repository assumptions before merge.
• Review and update js/search.js

TalkToFigmaDesktop

• Apply the agreed change within this guarded repository.
• Keep behavior aligned with the architect and gatekeeper review.
• Validate cross-repository assumptions before merge.
• Review the repository surfaces that implement or consume the agreed change contract.

grabpay-merchant-sdk

• Apply the agreed change within this guarded repository.
• Keep behavior aligned with the architect and gatekeeper review.
• Validate cross-repository assumptions before merge.
• Review the repository surfaces that implement or consume the agreed change contract.

Validation Plan

• Add or update unit tests for the directly changed code paths.
• Add integration or contract checks where repository boundaries are touched.
• Re-run the review scenarios that the gatekeeper focused on during the trial.

Deployment and Rollback

• Roll out the primary repository first unless a shared contract requires coordinated deployment.
• Monitor the user-facing or contract-facing behavior identified in the analysis.
• Prepare a rollback that reverts the guarded repositories to the last known compatible state.

Open Questions

• Confirm any unresolved assumptions from the gatekeeper review before implementation.
