## Agent skills

### Issue tracker

Issues and specs live in Gitea Issues; use `tea-cli` for supported tracker operations. Before tracker work, read `docs/agents/issue-tracker.md` for commands and API alternatives.

### Triage labels

Use the default canonical labels: `needs-triage`, `needs-info`, `ready-for-agent`, `ready-for-human`, and `wontfix`. See `docs/agents/triage-labels.md`.

### Domain docs

This is a single-context repo using root `CONTEXT.md` and `docs/adr/`. See `docs/agents/domain.md`.

## GitFlow

- `develop` is the default integration branch; `main` contains releases. Start `feature/*` branches from the current `origin/develop` and target their PRs to `develop`.
- Rebase working branches onto the latest `origin/develop` before opening or merging a PR. If `develop` advances, rebase and rerun the PR checks before merging.
- Integrate through PRs with successful required checks and merges restricted to designated maintainers through Gitea's merge allowlist. Use merge commits (`--no-ff`) with squashing disabled. Direct and forced pushes to `main` and `develop` are forbidden.
- Use Conventional Commits for new commits and PR titles.
- Create `release/X.Y.Z` from `develop` and `hotfix/X.Y.Z` from `main`. Only `release/*` and `hotfix/*` PRs target `main`. Merge each release or hotfix into both `main` and `develop`, keeping its branch until both PRs are merged.
- Use merges and back-merges for releases and hotfixes. Never rebase `main`, `develop`, or a frozen release branch.

The CI workflow is `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`. Activation is tracked in Gitea issue #268; Actions is enabled with owner approval, and the migration gate stays required until live workflow validation and merge-message review. Before changing CI, image publication, or activation settings, read [Gitea Actions](docs/gitea-actions.md).

Before preparing a release or hotfix, creating a tag, or changing image publication, read [GitFlow and releases](README.md#gitflow-and-releases) for package versions, explicit stable tags, and image promotion.
