Will try to keep this brief, over the last sprint got assigned ownership of a task to test a version of our app not yet released because there's a feature that is blocking another team that needs to be fixed. When I picked up the ticket, I was in a group chat where I was handed off context on what to do and to keep in the loop with another engineer working on a feature for the app and testing as well.

During this time I found 4 separate issues that stopped the app from running properly in the container app that hosts this app and other apps in our domain. I documented every fix and screenshotted the fixes. This involved some deep debugging of our app, as well as other apps in the container to pinpoint all the issues which increased the scope from the initial ask: Test the app -> Create PR -> Get approved before next release.

Last week lead took the initiative to pitch in because he wanted to get this fix in before the next release and he was going on PTO (This week), he makes a few fixes and I approve his PR a few hours before EOD Friday, He then @'s me in teams to follow up with the other engineer and business to merge the changes into the next release.

Come today (Monday), I see the message from my lead and communicate with business what needs to be done, which was to update the app version that was merged to main because that was the last thing PR I saw in the thread that was merged. The lead logs online (On his PTO) and messages me that I gave business the incorrect context and gives me the correct one and lectures me about not taking ownership of driving the feature and if the deadline is missed I will have to explain why to business.

My immediate thought was, he had last worked on the PR and he didn't relay any information to me the Friday before, had it been important he wouldn't need to log on to micro manage or use that as a reason to call me out on a mistake he could have easily prevented because he had all the information to.

I feel i'm not completely in the wrong here and I got a bad review last year for a missed deadline during last years holiday with no threat of PIP due to circumstances outside my control, but I don't want to get into an ego battle with my lead. Any thoughts?
