The test suite finished. 3147 passed, 0 failed. I was already on my feet. I scrolled up fast to find the three tests I'd been watching — pass pass pass — and I needed to DO something with this, tell someone, push to main, open the next patch, keep the momentum. My hands were buzzing. I walked to the kitchen to get water because I couldn't just sit, came back still not-quite-sitting, chugged the water standing up. Opened the commit editor. The words came out of me fast — I was already thinking ahead to the follow-up patch, the rebase, the review request — and the commit message I was typing was half for this bug and half a runway into what came next.
