Real runs: documented Nightshift shifts

Scope before results

The 12–14 August 2026 AdaptTable contract covered eight top-level items across six roadmap phases. Its shared definition of done included nine adapters, 17 locales, documentation, changesets, tests, browser checks, and Sonar. One branch and local commits kept implementation reviewable.

Timeline and interruption

Claude Code armed the contract on 12 August at 17:20 UTC. When the owner's allowance ran out, the owner stopped that session on 13 August at 17:12. Cursor resumed the same branch and punch list at 17:22. All eight items were ticked by 14 August at 14:27; owner review, further fixes, and CI continued until the PR merged at 19:26.

• 45 hours 7 minutes is elapsed time from arming to final tick, including interruption and handoff.
• 50 hours 6 minutes is elapsed time to merge, including human review.
• Neither duration measures uninterrupted token processing.

Selected result and checks

The merged PR contains 67 commits and closed 57 issues across the six phases. Public case-study evidence reports the full GitHub check suite green before merge, including a Playwright showcase run, and Sonar at zero issues and hotspots. These are results of that reviewed PR, not a promise for another project.

What the owner accepted

The owner inspected the branch, ran additional checks, fixed findings, and merged. The published account does not claim that Nightshift merged itself or that a checked box proved correctness. The cited case study lists no remaining open contract item at final tick; it also records the allowance interruption and separate human review.
