Was an interesting couple of issues involving us 😄 Definitely agree with your learnings which I now take forward into future reviews. Pays to take a step back and zoom out sometimes when reviewing, and look at the issue in a broader way. Have to admit thought the timing on these external fixes was hilarious because I don't remember the being a large time gap between review request and initial review
