Ship and move on — stack now, reconcile later.

Stacked Changes let developers and agents keep shipping small, dependent steps without stopping to coordinate every edge up front. Vex preserves each Change and its dependency order, so the team can organize, review, and reconcile the chain before it lands.

How stacked Changes work

Agents keep shipping. Vex keeps the chain legible.

Keep iterating instead of waiting for every adjacent change to settle. Vex keeps dependency order, patchsets, checks, and policy attached so the team can organize the work later and reconcile the accepted stack before it lands within one component.

The Vex Changes screen grouped by Stack, showing two real four-member chains with Change numbers, parent relationships, positions, and check states.

Running product

The focused edge makes every member’s chain position and check state readable while the grouped view preserves dependency order.

The visible stack is contained within one repository component.

How the graph resolves

The Change relationship is stored in source, so the review surface can show it directly instead of reconstructing a stack from branch targets.

Source graph / dependent changes3 Changes
  1. AChange AAdd timezone column
  2. BChange BReturn timezone from API
  3. CChange CShow timezone in settings
B depends on A, and C depends on B. Before C can land, Vex checks A, B, and C as one required set while keeping each Change separately reviewable.
01

Stable identity

A Change keeps its identity while its patchsets evolve.

02

Explicit order

The graph records which Changes are required by later work.

03

Focused review

Review each step separately while preserving the shape of the whole idea.

04

Guarded landing

Inside one component, Vex checks the required stack before it lands.

Vex Change 625 showing its parent Change, two succeeded checks, and a four-member Stack rail with Ready to Land and Awaiting Review states.

Change detail

The Change page ties required checks and every member of the landing closure to one durable Change identity.

The Land 4 Changes action applies to this single-repository stack, not a federated aggregate.
