open-source PR workflow documentation

More consistent PR workflow documentation

xpenser aligned PR workflow documentation and agent interface guidance so implementation work follows a clearer review path.

Published May 29, 2026

The project workflow became more explicit about how PR-backed changes should be prepared and validated.

This release came from PR #8 and is now part of the xpenser release archive. It gives people evaluating an open-source expense tracker a clearer view of how the product has improved over time.

What changed

  • Updated PR workflow documentation for consistency.
  • Aligned the agent-facing interface with the repository workflow.
  • Kept preview validation expectations easier to apply on later changes.

Why it matters

A good release process makes product work faster and safer. Clear workflow docs also make an open-source app easier to maintain over time.

Where it fits

This internal release supports every future xpenser feature by improving the path from implementation to review.

For a broader product overview, start with the xpenser home page. Developers can also explore the personal finance API and MCP tools, while self-hosters can review the self-hosted personal finance tracker page.
