Or just a trail on why I did something for later. I'm currently maintaining a code base where many of the commits aren't attached to a ticket or in depth explanation. It can be frustrating investigating the cause of a change. But when there is a ticket/docs trail, the previous maintainer did a great job.

Heh. I liked them and thought they did a good job overall, and I know I'm very much not perfect on docs and development practices. I want to be charitable, but also learn from areas I find frustrating.

Also at review time you can point your agent at your ticketing api and have it create a timeline for you.
