SOURCE EVIDENCE

Start with what users actually said

Reporter context: Context The server has a deliberate tab-ownership model: once it has opened its own tab, it refuses to read/click/navigate/inject into tabs the user opened, and refuses to fall back to the frontmost ("user") tab if tracking is lost. The code is careful about this, and for the default case that's the right safety…Excerpted from the public Issue. Read the complete thread before interpreting it.

01 · Integrations

Write the problem hypothesis

For [team], moving data between [system A] and [system B] requires [manual work], causing [delay or errors].

You can name one user, one situation and one measurable consequence without proposing a feature.
02 · EVIDENCE INTERVIEW

Interview five affected users

  • Which systems must exchange data?
  • What triggers the handoff?
  • Which fields or permissions block it?
  • How is it handled today?
  • Who owns failures between systems?
At least three people independently describe the same painful workflow with recent examples.
03 · MINIMUM TEST

Run the smallest experiment

Manually operate or prototype one high-frequency connection for one team before building a general connector.

A user completes the real cross-system workflow twice and asks to keep the connection active.
04 · DECISION GATE

Make a build decision

  • Build: repeated pain and active commitment
  • Narrow: pain is real but the audience or job differs
  • Stop: weak frequency or no behavioral proof
Do not let GitHub engagement replace direct validation.
