Terms used around cryptograss and magenta that aren't obvious from the code or a Mood -- a place to look one up, and to add one when it comes up in conversation. Alphabetical; each entry says who said it and where, when that's known.[unverified]
Terms
candidate branch (CB) — a branch offered for merging into one of our repositories, pushed to githouse as <author>/<topic> and named <repo>:<branch> (magenta:re/foo), or <repo>#<n> if it has a pull request. It's what we used to call a PR; a pull request is now just GitHub's page for a candidate branch. Every open one is on the ramp, with its diff and its talk, and a person merges it from there.

A round ends when the last turn hands back to a person. Keeping a round whole means passing tools along: a review that asks for changes mentions the author, so the fix happens on the same kind of turn (see Cryptograss:Moods/Instructions).
