A 5-part feature (confidence bands, variance hints, smart confirm button, reassign sort, 44pt hit areas) became 5 separate commits, each scoped so that a parse check plus a focused commit message confirms it landed. This makes partial failures recoverable and lets the human reviewer stop after any slice without leaving the codebase in a broken state. The discipline behind it: each slice must answer 'can this one thing be verified end-to-end on its own?'
