+## Workflow
+
+- New feature → clean branch from `origin/master` → push → PR on Gitea
+- Branch naming: `feat/description` (features), `fix/description` (bugs/docs/docs/chores)
+- Always branch from `origin/master`, never from another feature branch
+- PR title describes the change; body explains motivation + summary
+- After PR merge, delete the feature branch
+- Always validate before push (build, lint, test)
