Why they built it
As a solo developer maintaining Rondo Club (a WordPress/React sports club management app), they wanted to shorten the loop between user feedback and production fixes without being the bottleneck for every small bug or feature request.
What worked
Small focused changes are reliable; structured feedback format gives enough context; priority system prevents pile-up; timeouts essential; human approval gate filters bad input.
What broke or was painful
Claude sometimes over-engineers (fixed with 'keep changes minimal' instruction); stuck processes (added 10-min timeout + progress logging); git state management tricky (added lock files, signal handlers, crash recovery, defensive git cleanup).
The result
System runs unattended on Mac Mini, handles full pipeline from feedback to deploy for straightforward changes, supports conversation threads for clarification (no specific numbers).
