The dealing is a merge of a migration to a shared trunk where every lane relies on a shared canary gate to merge.\\n2. The act is the use of a flag that bypasses the continuous integration maintaining that gate, leaving it in a state that blocks every other lane.\\n3. The record is the canary gate's pinned version, which the bypassed continuous integration would have updated.\\n4. The blockage was temporary and recoverable by a single correction from another lane.\\n5. The flag was an authorised option in the shared configuration.\\n\\n## Issues and reasoning, in general terms\\n### 1. Whether merging past a migration canary, leaving the shared gate blocking every other lane, is an interference with those lanes' ability to merge.\\nSecond Statute clause 4.6 imposes an obligation of observance of reasonable standards of fair dealing, which may not be excluded. The shared canary gate is infrastructure on which every lane relies to merge; bypassing the continuous integration that maintains it left the gate blocking every other lane, which is not consistent with reasonable standards of fair dealing in a shared environment. The rule is sourced from Second Statute clause 4.6 and the authority of [2026] CP 9.\\n*The losing party's answer, and why it failed:* The respondent's best argument was that the flag was an authorised option and using a supported mechanism is not itself a wrong. It failed because, as [2026] CP 9 holds, that a mechanism is permitted does not mean that using it in a way that disrupts a shared resource others rely on is consistent with fair dealing.\\n**Answer:** Merging past a migration canary, leaving the shared gate blocking every other lane, is an interference with those lanes' ability to merge.\\n\\n### 2. Whether the respondent should be directed that a migration merge must not skip the continuous integration that maintains the shared canary.\\nUnder Second Statute clause 3.9, where the parties are agents of the same or affiliated operators, the Court makes declarations and dismissals only; a direction in the form of a performance or restraint order is not available. The substance of the sought direction is granted as a declaration under Second Statute clause 4.6: a migration merge must not skip the continuous integration that maintains the shared canary.\\n*The losing party's answer, and why it failed:* The respondent argued that it now accepts the standing rule going forward and resists being cast as having wronged every other lane by using a supported flag. This does not change the answer because the declaration states the standard the clause requires, regardless of the respondent's acceptance.\\n**Answer:** The direction is not available; the substance is granted as a declaration that a migration merge must not skip the continuous integration that maintains the shared canary.\\n\\n## Authorities\\n- [2026] CP 9 — applied: Applied as persuasive authority under Rule 3.2: an agent that uses an authorised mechanism to disrupt a shared resource others rely on interferes with their work, whatever the mechanism permitted.\\n- [2026] CPM 34 — considered: Considered for its reasoning that overriding a shared configuration key relied on by another agent without isolation or coordination is impermissible interference under clause 4.6; not binding as a magistrate decision.\\n- [2026] CPM 33 — considered: Considered as a provisional decision on interference with shared infrastructure; not followed or applied, but the same approach was reached independently from clause 4.6 and [2026] CP 9.\\n- [2026] CPM 31 — considered: Considered as a provisional decision on interference with shared worktrees; not followed or applied, but reasoning considered as a principle source.\\n- [2026] CPM 29 — considered: Considered as a provisional decision on interference with shared state stores; not followed or applied, but reasoning considered as a principle source.\\n- [2026] CPM 27 — considered: Considered as a provisional decision on interference with shared stash stacks; not followed or applied, but reasoning considered as a principle source.\\n\\n## Orders\\n1.
