Direct answer
Small, evidence-backed patches land faster than manifesto PRs — reproduce, minimize, explain the false positive or edge case.
Lessons
- lint false positives need a minimal React/TS fixture (Biome)
- framework edges reward reproduction over rhetoric (Nitro)
- tooling maintainers care about blast radius (Watchexec)
