Git & PR Workflow
git fetch origin && git stash && git rebase origin/main && git stash pop
git push --force-with-lease origin fix/round-XX-bugs
gh pr view <N> --json mergeable # must be MERGEABLE before done
- Never push to
maindirectly - Never have multiple open fix PRs
- Commit messages: "Feature" or "Fix" — never "Bug"
- No AI attribution in commits
