 - **Omit the "Summary" heading** in PR bodies — lead with the summary text itself, no `## Summary` header.
 - Include `Fixes #<issue-number>` somewhere in the PR body so the merge auto-closes the linked issue.
 - Always open PRs as draft.
-- Include reasoning of changes in the PR description, as well as decisions that were taken during implementation. Do not explain the implementation that can be viewed in the code.
+- **Keep PR descriptions condensed** — usually a few sentences. Explain the _reasoning_: why the change is needed, and any non-obvious decisions or tradeoffs made along the way. Do **not** walk through the implementation or describe what changed file-by-file — the diff already shows that. Only go longer when the decisions genuinely warrant it.

   Instead use `expect(someSpy).toHaveBeenCalledWith(...)` or derivatives for a more readable and less brittle test assertion.
