How do your developers handle integrating others changes to test them locally?
For example in your scenario, if Landon merged his changes to pu first, would it make sense to have Priya pull pu and merge her feature to the local branch to make sure there aren't any problems before issuing a PR?

The pu branch in this case is your integration branch. If you want to test locally, you can switch to pu locally, merge your feature branch in, test there, but not push. Alternatively, you could test in the integration branch at the risk of disrupting other developers potentially, knowing that you have the option to rollback pu to a prior version before your merge or even rebuild it from scratch if needed.
