First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or automation entry points. Start by locating the repository's pull-request bot and label handling, then determine how a keep-current label should trigger rebasing onto master and notify when that is no longer possible; done means the behavior is defined and covered for long-running experimental PRs.
