One writer per file

CategoryarchitectureManual1.6EvidencereportedAttributed toAkshay Pachaar

ProblemTwo Bots editing the same file drive it into incoherence, quietly.

TechniqueDesignate exactly one Bot as the writer of the board file. Everyone else reads it and writes into their own per-task directory or a handoff folder, and leaves a note rather than editing another Bot's file.

Why it worksThe constraint removes the only class of conflict the platform will not detect for you.

When to useEvery shared file in a multi-Bot pipeline.
