The definition of done is not a collection of steps you need to take durint the sprint.
The definition of done is that final stage.

Imagine grabbing a random person off the street, showing them your goal and its definition of done, and asking them if it’s complete.
If they can look at your work and the definition of done and say, “Yes, it’s done,” you’ve succeeded.

If you're relying on AI summarization to know what's important, you should wonder... Why are so many people writing so much stuff that doesn't matter in the first place? And why are we working this way? And why am I paying them to write what's never read and so easily dismissed?
