Crosstown spans a Rails API, merchant and operations portal, courier app, marketing site, background worker, PostgreSQL, Redis, and local email. Inspect the running environment from the thread.

Open a service’s output beside the work. Trace requests and startup behavior without leaving the environment where the change runs.

Inspect the repository and run commands in the same sandbox the agent uses. The terminal stays with the thread and its other tools.

Browse the sandbox’s tables and records to understand what the app saved. These are the fictional records used by the Crosstown demo.

Courier availability touches the data model, route-offer rules, API, and interface. Inspect the changes together before opening pull requests.

The normal review found four issues, including offer locking, expiry handling, and a missing loading state. Gently started a follow-up to apply the findings and check the fixes.

Choose the areas that matter for this change. This pass checks correctness, security, and tests and contracts across the API and courier app.

The focused reviewers found five further issues in correctness and test coverage; the security pass was clean. Independent verifiers checked the findings before Gently started the next fix run.

The thread’s pull request controls bring the reviewed changes to GitHub. A change across repositories can open a pull request for each affected repository.

Return to the thread to see the pull requests associated with the work and open them for team review.

Crosstown uses fictional people and deliveries. Each feature thread has its own environment and branch. The screenshots show the work and its review state; opening a pull request does not deploy the change.
