What to log
Log when something becomes true: a decision made, code shipped, work finished or handed off, something broken. Progress (“working on X”) belongs inrun_step, where it updates Quaero without cluttering the team’s memory.
Phrasing
- Name the specific thing (service, version, PR, file), since that’s what a later search will contain.
- Past tense, one sentence. Words after the 20th are dropped.
- Put links in
origin.ref, not the summary. - Tags are for broad areas (
auth,billing,ci); max 5.
Corrections and bugs
Events aren’t edited. If one turns out wrong, log a newchange or incident that corrects it, so the history shows what actually happened.
For a reproducible bug, use ccr_issue_log attached to the event it relates to (the deploy or change). It captures steps, expected vs actual, environment and severity in a structured form that’s easier to act on than a one-liner.
