| In a sentence· 一句话 | Turn a merge queue into one clear launch narrative. 把一队合并好的 PR，整理成一份清晰的上线说明。 | Open the product, try the flow, fix what breaks, repeat. 打开产品走一遍流程，发现问题就修，然后再验证。 | No fixes until the cause is real. 原因还没坐实之前，不急着修。 |

| Why pick this· 为什么选它 | Best for the human communication layer around a deploy — release notes, stakeholder briefs, rollback templates. Built around the gap between "engineering finished merging" and "support, marketing, and execs know what changed." Pulls from the actual merged PRs, so the classic "we forgot to mention that feature" follow-up email stops happening. Not a code review tool; not a deploy verifier — pair it with canary-watch for that side. 专门做发布的「对人沟通」那一层——发布说明、干系人简报、回滚通知模板。补的是「代码已经合完」和「支持、市场、管理层都知道发生了什么」之间的空档。素材直接取自已合并 PR，那种「我们漏说了一个特性」的二次邮件不会再来。它不做代码评审，也不验线上；要做这两件事，配合 canary-watch。 | Best browser QA pick when you need evidence to leave a paper trail. Each run produces screenshots, console diffs, and a reproducible action log — much harder for stakeholders to wave off than "I tested it locally." Works well as a pre-merge gate and for filing bugs with repro steps attached. Not for unit tests, and not for authenticated production sessions where the screenshot itself becomes a data risk. 做需要留证据链的浏览器 QA，它是最佳选择。每次跑都会产出截图、控制台 diff 和可重放的动作日志——比一句「我在本地测过了」更难被挡回去。适合做合并前关卡，也适合带证据提 bug。别用在单元测试场景，也别在敏感的登录态生产会话里用——截图本身就是数据风险。 | Best for incidents where the fastest reflex would be the wrong fix. Forces an evidence-before-action loop: collect logs, list candidate hypotheses, verify each, only then propose a change. Pays for itself the moment it catches the kind of incident where "just restart it" would have masked a real data-integrity problem. Skip it for obviously cosmetic regressions — the cost of slowing down outweighs the cost of a re-deploy there. 在那种「第一反应反而是错的」事故里它最有用。强制走「证据—假设—验证—再动手」的顺序：先收集日志，列出候选假设，逐个验证，最后才提修复方案。只要救下一次本该用「重启就好」掩盖掉的真实数据完整性问题，回报就够了。但纯样式回归就别用它了，等回滚比慢思考更划算。 |
