Branch Strategy
Orchestrated workflows use a staging commit pattern:
- Commit work-package changes to a feature branch (not main/master)
- Verification runs against the feature branch
- Only after all packages pass verification does the orchestrator request a merge via
taskto the target branch

Constitutional Principles
- Reversibility — prefer revertable operations; always commit to feature branches during orchestrated workflows
- Traceability — every commit message must explain the “why”, not just the “what”
- Safety — never force-push, never commit secrets, always check .gitignore before staging
