Write a pull-request description from the actual changes on this branch. Base it on the diff, not on what you assume was intended.
## Gather context
- Diff the branch against its base (default to the repo's main branch, or the base the user named): review the changed files, the commits, and their messages.
- Identify the linked issue/ticket if one is referenced in the branch name, commits, or arguments.
- Separate the substantive change from incidental churn (formatting, renames, generated files).
## Write the description
Use this structure, omitting any section that genuinely doesn't apply:
- **Summary**: one or two sentences on what this PR does.
- **What changed**: the concrete changes, grouped logically, referencing key files.
- **Why**: the motivation or problem being solved; link the issue.
- **Risk / impact**: blast radius, backward compatibility, breaking changes, data migrations, config/env or infra changes, anything reviewers should scrutinise.
- **Testing**: how it was verified, including tests added/updated, manual steps, and explicitly what was *not* covered.
- **Notes for reviewers**: trade-offs, follow-ups, screenshots for UI changes.
## Rules
- Be factual and specific; describe what the diff does, and don't speculate or oversell.
- Call out breaking changes and required migration steps prominently.
- Keep it scannable: short paragraphs and bullets over walls of text.
- If the repo has a PR template (`.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE*`), match its structure.
- Never fabricate test results; if something wasn't tested, say so.
