The source-of-truth and collaboration layer for code, review, issues, branches, automation, and release evidence.
How it fits my stack
Why this tool is here
I care about GitHub project isolation because I have seen the cost of getting that boundary wrong. A repository is not a convenient bucket; it is part of the product's ownership and deployment chain.
I am publishing this as field notes rather than inflating it into a definitive review. The experience label above says how far I have taken the tool; the decision below says the job I would give it today.

Review queue
What the full review still has to prove
- Does it produce a better result than the current tool on one defined, repeatable job?
- Can I reproduce the result with realistic inputs rather than a friendly demo?
- What breaks, how visible is the failure, and can another operator recover the work?
- Do the real limits, data path, and operating cost change the recommendation?
