 - All repos follow the git workflow defined in root `.opencode/instructions/git-workflow.md`
-- Branch from `main`, PR to `main`, no rebase
+- Branch from `development`, not `main`
+- Use topic branches: `feature/<name>`, `fix/<name>`, `bugfix/<name>`
+- Open a PR to `development` — squash merge after review
+- Changes flow to `main` via a release PR (never push directly to `main` or `development`)
+- No rebase — prefer `git pull` (merge)
 - Commit types: `feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`, `test:`
 - Go code must pass `gofmt -s` and `go vet`
