> It’s unclear what the “squash” process is for “make me a foo” + “no not like that”.

Commit your specs, not your prompts. When a change is correct, any information of value contained in the prompt should be reflected in the spec.

The problem I have is that when you squash the code it does the same thing.

  PR.patch = a.patch | b.patch
  exec(PR.patch) = exec(a.patch | b.patch)
When you squash the spec you potentially do not get the same thing:

  PR.md = a.md | b.md
  ai(PR.md) != ai(a.md) | ai(b.md)

This is more like squashing the commit log messages, and those are typically rewritten not merely concatenated.
