Open a lerd PR

Every write to GitHub (create/edit/close/reopen/merge/comment on an issue or PR) needs explicit approval each time. Draft the text, show it, and wait. Do not run gh pr create or any state-changing gh command until the human says go.

Before the PR

1. An issue should already exist for the work, framed as future work. If it doesn't, draft one and ask before creating it.
2. Run /lerd-preflight — the PR is not ready until the local gate is green.
3. Confirm the branch is off main, not main itself, and staged by explicit path (never git add -A). git status first.

PR body — write it as a human would

Prose paragraphs, single-line (no column wrapping), explaining what changed and why. Then the issue link:

• Feature PR → Closes #N (auto-closes on merge).
• Bug-report issue → Refs #N (stays open until the stable release ships).
• Security issue → Closes #N (closes once the fix merges to main).

Never include

• A Test plan section.
• A Verified / Tested / Manual testing section or trailer.
• A checklist of any kind (- [ ] / - [x], "Release checklist"…).
• A "Notes for reviewers" section — we own the project, there is no external reviewer.
• file:line citations, em dashes, Co-Authored-By, or "Generated with…" footers.
• Prose about tests, TDD, or coverage; and don't mention incidental cleanup.

PR and issue comments

Casual plain prose. No markdown, no bullets, no hyphens — commas instead. Don't open with boilerplate like "Pulled it down and put it on my install." Vary it.

After pushing

Return immediately. Don't sit polling CI; failures get flagged by the human.
