Overview
As coding-agents increase PR volume, platforms and teams redesign review workflows around smaller diffs, stacked-pull-requests, and merge discipline.
Timeline
- 2026-07-30: github stacked-pull-requests public preview for all repos (2026-08-02-github-changelog-stacked-pull-requests)
- 2026: Competitive pressure on graphite and similar stacking tools
