Most SaaS teams ship across several first-party repos: frontend, API, mobile, infra, internal tools. A regression that surfaces in the dashboard often demands a change in two or three of them. Ticketing tools paper over the seams; engineers re-discover the cross-repo footprint by hand, and the customer reply slips by days.

1. Zendesk ticket #9152
Orders never reached our warehouse
“Those orders never came through, and your dashboard says they were delivered.”
Tomas Reyes, Harbor and Pine Outfitters
2. Bug report
Orders marked delivered when the receiver returns an error
Critical
Expected: Order retried until it arrives. Actual: Marked delivered, never retried.
3. Found in your code
internal/webhooks/deliver.go
deliver()
A server error from the receiver counts as delivered, so the order is never retried.
4. Draft fix, PR #2207
Retry order webhooks when the receiver returns a server error
Review on GitHub
5. Customer update
Hi Tomas, orders now keep retrying until your warehouse gets them.
Sent when the fix is live. Posted to ticket #9152.
A regression in your dashboard often touches the API and the mobile client too. Watari opens a focused PR in each repository the bug touches, and only those. A per-org cap keeps one ambiguous ticket from spawning PRs across every repo you own.
Frontend owners on the frontend PR, infra owners on the infra PR, not a triager juggling three queues. Each draft PR resolves reviewers from its own repo’s CODEOWNERS. No CODEOWNERS? Watari suggests owners from who actually changes each file, and opens a PR to adopt them.
The customer hears back when production has the whole fix, not the first piece of it. The RCA is gated on the slowest PR in the set: it is held until the production deploy contains every contributing fix. An audit-logged override is available for the rare exception.
Deploy confirmed · production
The fix is live as of 10:01 UTC. Customer update posted to the support ticket.
A fan-out without a gate is just more noise. Focused PRs in only the repos a bug touches, and an all-or-nothing RCA, are the two halves of the same promise.

There is no hard ceiling, but a per-organization fan-out cap prevents one ambiguous ticket from spawning PRs across every repo you own. Connect as many as your team ships against, and Watari decides which ones a given bug actually touches.
The customer-facing RCA stays parked. Watari tracks every contributing PR; engineers see the failing repo flagged in the dashboard with the CI signal attached. Once the failing PR is fixed, merged, and shipped, the RCA publishes automatically: at deploy time if your platform reports deployments to GitHub, or at merge time otherwise (with a periodic check and a manual confirm as backup).
One. The customer-facing RCA describes a single bug and its resolution, not the engineering choreography. Internally you see every PR and every repo touched; externally the customer sees one update that fires only after the whole fix is live in production.
Watari looks across every connected repo and opens a focused PR in each repository the bug touches, and only those. A per-org cap bounds the number of PRs so a vague ticket cannot flood your queue.
One Mapped Issue equals one charge regardless of repo count. A bug that fans into five repos is still one billable event under the dual ≥ 0.7 confidence gate. PR drafts, RCA, and tracker sync remain bundled. You are never metered on engineering choreography.
Connect your help desk or your issue tracker, then GitHub or Azure DevOps. Watari maps each bug to the exact file and function in your code and drafts the fix as a pull request your CI checks.
