    "text": "So for every ticket that's getting created in Linear, we spawn in the cloud agents. … if we have a feature flags for a specific thing that's rolled out. And if it's rolled out for two weeks with 100%, the system kind of like a single source like, hey, it's a stale feature flag at this time. You can remove it. So then we have this to create an automatic issue in Linear. And since that is hooked up with Cursor, it triggers a cloud agent to remove the feature flag. So it's kind of like completely automatic once the system knows that it's rolled out to everyone.",
