Large Track Pre-Dev Workflow (8 Gates)

When to use

• Feature takes >=2 days to implement
• Adds new external dependencies (APIs, databases, libraries)
• Creates new data models or entities
• Requires multi-service integration
• Uses new architecture patterns
• Requires team collaboration

Skip when

• Feature is simple (<2 days, existing patterns) - use ring:planning-small-features instead
• No new dependencies, data models, or architecture patterns needed
