I Opened Seven Issues for One Feature (On Purpose)
One feature. Seven real issues. Four hours. Zero babysitting.
- A seven-issue dependency graph completed in merge order.
- Detent returned dependent work to Todo after its prerequisite merged.
Reviewed recordings that demonstrate the product against real repositories and checked-in workflow contracts. Playback stays on YouTube; thumbnails and transcripts stay local to this site.

The orchestrator stays deliberately simple while checked-in configuration and workflow files hold the engineering judgment.
The state machine, the gate model, worktree isolation, and the merge train.
The interaction-model argument, the default choices, and the comparison matrix.
The operator surface: lanes, agent activity, budget and rate-limit state, and the TUI.
Platform-tabbed install commands, requirements, and the first run.
The curated operator reference, mirrored from a pinned Detent release.
MIT, the repository, releases, contributing, and the self-hosting proof.
