+# The Merge Window
+
+In the queue where quiet branches wait,
+small green checks begin to bloom.
+A diff becomes a lantern there,
+and lights the review room.
+
+No promise lives in opened code,
+no prize in talk alone.
+The work must pass through tested paths
+before a claim is known.
+
+A note, a scope, a single fix,
+a branch kept clean and slight;
+the maintainer reads for trust, not noise,
+and turns the key to write.
+
+So let the build line hold its breath,
+then answer clear and bright:
+ship only what the issue asked,
+and leave the tree more right.
