Design Branch Protection Rules

Produce a repository-appropriate branch protection plan covering pushes, merges, reviews, status checks and exceptions.

Purpose

This is a publishable P0 built-in DevRunbook package. It is designed for the plan work mode with default autonomy plan and risk tier moderate.

Required context

Branch strategy: Describe the intended development and release branch model.
Team model: Describe who pushes, reviews and administers the repository.

Completion

Rules balance safety and realistic workflow.
Exceptions and rollout risks are documented.
Validation evidence and unresolved limitations are reported honestly.

Quality status

Editorially reviewed and covered by static structure and determinism fixtures. It is not represented as execution-validated or battle-tested until the platform stores corresponding evidence.
