Branch Protection Baseline

Use this as the admin checklist for main after the EverOS 1.0.0 history reset.

Required Repository Rule

• Require pull requests before merging.
• Require two approving reviews for normal work.
• Require conversation resolution before merge.
• Block force pushes.
• Block branch deletion.
• Do not grant routine admin bypasses.

Required Status Checks

Mark these checks as required before merge:

• CI / lint
• CI / unit tests
• CI / integration tests
• CI / package build
• Docs / links
• Commit lint / commit messages

Optional Repository Checks

Do not require checks that are not emitted for every pull request. Treat these as advisory unless GitHub shows they run on all normal PRs:

• .github/dependabot.yml

Merge Policy

• Work on feature branches.
• Push branches normally; do not force-push shared branches.
• Merge through PRs after checks are green.
• Delete merged branches.

Temporary admin bypass should be reserved for repository recovery work only.
