The conditional instruction 'if this will immediately affect production' is ambiguous and potentially risky. Even if a change is not immediately active (e.g., behind a feature flag), it still introduces code into the production environment and should be verified. Requiring this section for all pull requests ensures better visibility, safety, and a consistent audit trail.
