COVERAGE. 87.1% line / 69.1% branch, 502 tests -> 88.9% line (2087/2348), 75.4%
branch (1011/1340), 546 tests in 76 classes, as #153's five children land.
The branch figure moved for two reasons and the entry now says so, because only
one of them is new tests. The numerator rose 974 -> 1011; the denominator *fell*
1410 -> 1340. Both are the seam work: pulling a `when` out of a lambda inside a
`collect` deletes the coroutine state machine's synthesized branches around it,
and leaves a plain function whose branches a test can choose.
`ConversionViewModel$observe$1$1` went from carrying the whole mapping to six
branches, while the extracted `ConversionViewModelKt` covers 41 of 42 and
`JoinViewModelKt` 38 of 39.
That is worth stating rather than quoting the percentage alone. A number that
rises because the denominator shrank is a different claim from one that rises
because more branches are tested, and this entry has a documented history of
explaining its own movements wrongly.
STACKED PRS. A new Conventions entry, from two traps measured on 2026-08-27
while landing #144-#151.
`gh pr merge` refuses a stacked PR outright -- "must be merged using the
asynchronous merge REST API" -- and so does the plain `/merge` endpoint. The one
that works is `PUT .../pulls/N/merge-async`, which returns a uuid to poll.
The second is worse because nothing looks wrong. GitHub retargets a stacked PR's
base to main when the one below it merges, but asynchronously. Merging five about
thirty seconds apart outran it, so each merged into its own already-merged base
branch. Every call returned `status: merged`, every PR read MERGED, `gh pr list
--state open` was empty, and none of the content was on main.
What caught it was a coverage re-measure two points below what the same tree had
produced an hour earlier -- a fresh `git pull` changed nothing, which is what
made it a question rather than a stale checkout. `git merge-base --is-ancestor`
answers it in one line. #160 is what the recovery cost.
Also recorded: the auto-retarget belongs to the stacking feature. A PR opened
with a plain `--base some-branch` does not retarget when that branch merges, and
has to be moved by hand -- which is what #163 needed.
