Feedback and improvement ideas on automated refinement process
Context
Late January we rolled out automated process supporting our refinement flow - you can check the MVC requirements here and here. In this issue we want to gather feedback from this process as well as note down any improvements that we can think of - we'll prioritise these and spread them over a couple of iterations.
🧵 Ongoing discussions
- Manually transitioning to ~"workflow::refinement"
- Refining ~type::bug issues
- Checklist in refinement thread
- Ability to temporarily block completing refinement
- Moving in and out of refinement
💡 Other ideas
- Validations - Add checkboxes for validating the issue (currently we often miss ~type label which causes the issue to be returned back to refinement and it may cause the bot to enter a loop with itself). Should the bot verify that the issue has proper labels when deciding that refinement is complete and add comment asking for missing things? How we ensure that these boxes are ticked and not ignored?
