The transcript is there, but nobody knows what changed

A practical Software Q&A prompt about turning transcripts into short decision logs.

I keep seeing this in project handoffs: someone links the full meeting transcript, and technically the answer is in there. But the person joining later still has to hunt for the actual decision. Was the feature postponed, narrowed, approved, or just discussed? Who owns the next step? What reason made the group choose this path? What is the smallest decision-log format that works inside a ticket without turning every meeting into paperwork?
