02 — Branching/Release — Proposal (LLM)

Goal: Keep main always green and production-ready with CI protections, while developing on short-lived branches.
Recommended model: Trunk-based. Optional next only for batching risky work.
Main content: full repo (code, prompts, templates, docs). Release tags: YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM on main only.
Protections: required checks (audit + Docker tests), PRs required, Conventional Commits, linear history/squash.
Migration: tag baseline; create wip/phase1; enable protections; add docs/branching.md.
