Turn on a stricter compiler flag for one package
A stricter compiler setting enabled for one package, with the fallout fixed rather than cast away.
The ticket
Enable a stricter compiler flag for one package and fix what it surfaces.
Acceptance criteria
- The flag is enabled for the package and it builds
- Errors are fixed rather than cast or suppressed
- No new escape hatches are introduced
- The remaining packages are listed in the description
What lands as proof
A clean build with the flag on and no new casts, which is the only outcome that actually improves safety.
Why teams defer it
- The flag surfaces real bugs, and fixing them properly is more work than the flag suggests.
- Casting the errors away is faster and produces the same green build, which is a tempting wrong turn.
Questions
- What does the agent actually change?
- The ticket is scoped to one outcome: enable a stricter compiler flag for one package and fix what it surfaces. Work that serves that outcome is in scope, and anything outside it is left for a separate ticket, so the pull request stays reviewable.
- How do I know the work is done?
- The pull request carries the evidence, not only the diff. Here that means flag on, package builds, no new casts introduced, so a reviewer can confirm the result without reproducing the work locally.
- How much oversight does this need?
- The run stops once the plan is written. Somebody reads the approach and approves it before any code exists, which is the cheapest moment to redirect the work.
