Integration work across Taiwan squads fails less on protocol choice and more on handoff timing. A topic migration that looks safe at 11 a.m. can collide with an evening batch owned by another pod.
We keep a shared change calendar keyed to service families, not tickets. Owners publish intended cutover windows and who can approve an emergency stop. Remote teammates get the same rehearsal recordings as people in Chupei so decisions do not hide in hallway chat.
The goal is boring coordination: everyone knows which mesh slice is mutable this sprint and which stays frozen until the next rehearsal.
