chore: introduce next integration branch (Phase 1 — additive) (#231)

Adds:
  - docs/branching.md              — beginner contributor guide
  - docs/adr/XXXX-...md            — ADR (will be renamed with issue#)
  - .github/workflows/auto-backmerge.yml      — disabled in Phase 1
  - .github/workflows/pr-target-validator.yml — warn-only in Phase 1
  - scripts/setup-branch-protection.sh        — idempotent gh api script

Modifies:
  - .github/workflows/branch-naming.yml  — recognize 'next'
  - CONTRIBUTING.md                       — 'Where Do I Open My PR?' section

Phase 1 is additive: nothing operational changes until Phase 2 flips
auto-backmerge.yml's if:false→true, flips pr-target-validator.yml's
WARN_ONLY→false, creates the next branch, and switches the default
branch. See the ADR for the migration plan.

name: Auto Back-Merge main → next
# Keep `next` at-or-ahead of `main` automatically. Every push to `main`
# (release finalize, hotfix finalize, occasional emergency fix) opens — or
# updates — a PR titled "chore: back-merge main → next". CI gates the merge;
# auto-merge is enabled so it lands as soon as it's green.
#
# Phase 1 of the next-branch migration: this workflow runs but is a no-op
# (`if: false` on the job) until `next` exists in the repo. Once Phase 2
# creates `next` and flips the default branch, flip the `if:` to true.

## Where Do I Open My PR? (Branching Model)
GSD uses two long-lived branches: `main` (production, what's on npm `@latest`)
and `next` (integration for the upcoming release). **Almost every PR targets
`next`.** Full guide: [`docs/branching.md`](docs/branching.md).
| Your branch | PR target | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `feat/NNN-slug` | `next` | Default for all new features |
| `fix/NNN-slug` | `next` | Default for all bug fixes; ships in next minor or via hotfix cherry-pick |
| `chore/`, `docs/`, `refactor/`, `test/`, `perf/`, `ci/`, `revert/` | `next` | All routine work |
| `fix/critical-NNN-slug` | `main` | Production-down emergencies only; auto-back-merges to `next` |
| `release/X.Y.0` | `main` | Created by `release.yml` — don't make these by hand |
| `hotfix/X.Y.Z` | `main` | Created by `hotfix.yml` — don't make these by hand |
| Stabilization PR for an in-flight release | `release/X.Y.0` | Fix a regression found during the RC cycle |
**Day-to-day commands:**
```bash
git fetch origin
git checkout next
git pull --ff-only origin next
git checkout -b fix/3187-config-corruption
# ... commit, push
gh pr create --base next --repo open-gsd/get-shit-done-redux
```
If you target the wrong branch by accident, the `PR Target Validator`
workflow will post a comment with the one-line fix (click "Edit" by the PR
title and change the base branch — no need to recreate the PR).
**Why this matters:** Under the old single-branch model, every PR required
rebasing onto `main` because branch protection required "up-to-date before
merging" and `main` moved on every merge. With `next` as the integration
branch and that flag disabled on `next`, concurrent PRs can merge in any
order as long as they don't conflict on the same lines. The rebase
treadmill is gone for the 95% case.

# Introduce `next` as a long-lived integration branch
- **Status:** Proposed
- **Date:** 2026-05-23
> **Filename note.** This ADR uses the placeholder (now resolved to `230`) per
> [CONTRIBUTING.md §Proposing an ADR](../../CONTRIBUTING.md). Before merging,
> open a `chore:` issue, replace `XXXX` with the assigned issue number, and
> rename the file accordingly.
## Context
Today every contributor branch — `feat/`, `fix/`, `chore/`, `docs/`,
`refactor/`, `test/`, `perf/`, `ci/`, `revert/` — is cut from `main` and PR'd
back to `main`. Release branches (`release/X.Y.0`) and hotfix branches
(`hotfix/X.Y.Z`) are also cut from `main`. As a result:
1. **`main` moves on every merge.** With ~315 unreleased changesets queued
and multiple PRs in flight at any time, `main` advances multiple times a
day.
2. **GitHub branch protection on `main` requires "branches up to date before
merging"** (the dominant pattern across mature OSS projects with linear
history). Every time another PR lands, every in-flight PR must rebase
before its own merge button enables.
3. **`release/X.Y.0` accumulates RC-cycle fixes that drift from `main`.**
When `finalize` opens the merge-back PR, the diff is large and
contributors who PR'd to `release/*` can't be sure their fix is also
queued for the next minor.
4. **`hotfix.yml` cherry-picks `fix:`/`chore:` commits from `main` since the
prior tag.** This works today only because every fix lands on `main`.
The pattern is fragile — any deviation (e.g. fix landing on `release/*`)
is invisible to the picker. v1.42.3 (#3621) shipped a half-state for
exactly this class of reason.
The maintainer's stated pain: *"every update doesn't mean the next pr needs
a rebase"* — i.e. the rebase treadmill from (2), driven by (1).
## Decision
Introduce **`next`** as a long-lived integration branch.
- All work that today targets `main` instead targets `next`, with the sole
exceptions of `release/X.Y.0` and `hotfix/X.Y.Z` branches, which still
merge to `main`.
- `next` is always at-or-ahead of `main`. Any push to `main` (release or
hotfix merge) triggers an automated back-merge PR `main → next` to keep
`next` aligned.
- Branch protection rules differ:
- **`main`** — strict: 2 reviewer approvals, all CI green, "require
branches up to date" **ON**, signed commits, restrict push to maintainers
via PR only.
- **`next`** — loose: 1 reviewer approval, all CI green, "require branches
up to date" **OFF**, auto-delete source branches.
- Default branch (in repo Settings) becomes `next`. `gh pr create` and the
GitHub web UI then default new PRs to the correct target without a flag.
### Where each branch type goes
| Branch prefix | Today's target | New target | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| `feat/` | `main` | `next` | Features ship in minor releases |
| `fix/` | `main` | `next` | Regular fixes ship in minor (or get cherry-picked by hotfix.yml) |
| `chore/`, `docs/`, `refactor/`, `test/`, `perf/`, `ci/`, `revert/` | `main` | `next` | All same-flow as fixes |
| `fix/critical-*` | `main` | `main` | Production-down only, auto-back-merges to `next` |
| `release/X.Y.0` | `main` | `main` (cut from `next`) | Promoted to production on finalize |
| `hotfix/X.Y.Z` | `main` | `main` (cut from prior tag, cherry-picks from `next`) | Patch releases |
### Mechanical changes summary
| Component | Change |
|---|---|
| `release.yml` (`create`) | Branch from `next`, not `main` |
| `release.yml` (`finalize`) | Open merge-back PR to **both** `main` and `next` (was just `main`) |
| `hotfix.yml` (cherry-pick step) | Cherry-pick from `origin/next`, not `origin/main` |
| `hotfix.yml` (`finalize`) | Open merge-back PRs to both `main` and `next` (was just `main`) |
| `branch-naming.yml` | Add `next` to `alwaysValid` list |
| `auto-branch.yml` | Branch from `next` HEAD instead of `main` HEAD for issue-labeled branches |
| New `pr-target-validator.yml` | Block PRs targeting `main` from branches that aren't `release/*`, `hotfix/*`, or `fix/critical-*` |
| New `auto-backmerge.yml` | On push to `main`, open `main → next` PR |
| Repo settings | Default branch = `next`; squash-merge only on `next`; merge-commit on `main` (preserve tag context) |
| `scripts/setup-branch-protection.sh` | New: idempotent script to apply both branch protection rule sets via `gh api` |
## Consequences
### Positive
- **Rebase treadmill ends.** PRs targeting `next` are not gated on
"up-to-date before merge". Concurrent PRs to `next` merge in any order as
long as they don't conflict on the same lines.
- **`main` becomes a stable reference.** It changes only on release/hotfix
merges — a handful of times per week, not multiple times per day. CI on
`main` runs less; downstream consumers (linked CI, npm tag watchers) see
fewer transient states.
- **Hotfix cherry-pick base is unambiguous.** All `fix:`/`chore:` commits
candidate for a hotfix live on `next`. The cherry-pick filter (today
hardcoded against `origin/main`) becomes correct-by-construction once
retargeted to `origin/next`.
- **RC-only fixes flow back to `next` automatically.** Today a fix that
lands on `release/1.28.0` to unblock RC2 only makes it to `next`-equivalent
(i.e. `main`) when finalize back-merges. Under the new model finalize
back-merges to both `main` and `next`, so an RC fix is never accidentally
dropped from the next minor.
- **Default branch switch is one click.** Cost is low; setting takes effect
for every new PR and clone immediately.
### Negative
- **One more concept to teach contributors.** Mitigated by `docs/branching.md`
+ CONTRIBUTING update + PR-target validator that says "retarget to `next`"
with a one-line fix instruction.
- **Hotfix and release workflows need updates.** Patches are inlined below.
Both are reversible — if a patch causes pain, revert and re-target the
workflows back to `main`. No on-disk state migration required.
- **The auto-backmerge PR is a new background-noise source.** It opens
silently after each release/hotfix push to `main`. Mitigated by labeling
the PR `automation` and auto-merging if CI passes (configurable in
`auto-backmerge.yml`).
- **Existing 315-changeset queue.** Doesn't strictly block this change but
the next release will be a large one. Recommend cutting `1.28.0` from
`main` (current behavior, last time) before flipping the default branch
to `next` — see "Migration" below.
### Risks not worth the trade-off
We considered and rejected:
- **`develop` instead of `next`.** The git-flow nomenclature is established
but the gitflow model itself is heavier than this project needs (no
long-lived `release/*` branches per-major, no `support/*` for old majors).
`next` matches the existing npm dist-tag (`@next`) and is the convention
for Angular, Next.js, React Native, and others. Use the name that already
appears in `VERSIONING.md`.
- **Merge queue.** GitHub's merge queue (GA in 2023) addresses the same
pain by serializing merges and rebasing+testing automatically. Rejected
because (a) it doesn't address the parallel work-stream separation that a
`next` branch gives, (b) it still requires "branches up to date" which we
want to relax, and (c) the maintainer is a git beginner and merge queue's
failure modes (split commits, requeued PRs) are harder to debug than a
conventional model.
- **Pure trunk-based with feature flags.** Rejected because the project
publishes to npm and doesn't have a runtime feature-flag system. Feature
flags would be a larger separate investment.
## Migration
This is a phase-gated rollout. Each phase is reversible.
### Phase 0 — Decide
1. Open a `chore:` issue: "Introduce `next` integration branch". Get the
issue number. Rename this ADR file from `XXXX-` to `<issue#>-`.
2. Review this ADR. Decide on the merge-commit-vs-squash policy for `next`
(recommended: squash) and for `main` (recommended: merge commit on
release back-merges, to preserve the tag-commit relationship).
### Phase 1 — Additive infrastructure (no behavior change)
The following land on `main` (current model, one last time) before flipping:
- `docs/branching.md` (new)
- `docs/adr/<issue#>-introduce-next-integration-branch.md` (this file)
- `scripts/setup-branch-protection.sh` (new)
- `.github/workflows/auto-backmerge.yml` (new, disabled with
`if: false` until phase 2)
- `.github/workflows/pr-target-validator.yml` (new, in "warning only" mode)
- `.github/workflows/branch-naming.yml` (update: add `next` to `alwaysValid`)
- CONTRIBUTING.md update: "Where do I open my PR?" section
### Phase 2 — Flip
When the next release is ready to start its RC cycle:
1. Cut the current planned release (e.g. `1.28.0`) using `release.yml` as
today — this drains the 315-changeset queue from `main` cleanly.
2. After `v1.28.0` finalizes and back-merges to `main`, run:
```bash
git checkout main && git pull --ff-only
git checkout -b next && git push -u origin next
```
3. Apply branch protection: `bash scripts/setup-branch-protection.sh`.
4. Settings → Branches → change default branch to `next`.
5. Re-enable `auto-backmerge.yml` (remove the `if: false`).
6. Flip `pr-target-validator.yml` from warning-only to enforcing.
### Phase 3 — Retarget release/hotfix workflows
Apply these patches once `next` is established and the team has run at
least one feature PR through it.
**`release.yml` — branch from `next` (create step):**
```diff
@@ create:
- name: Create release branch
env:
BRANCH: ${{ needs.validate-version.outputs.branch }}
VERSION: ${{ inputs.version }}

run: |
+ git fetch origin next:next || git fetch origin main:main
- git checkout -b "$BRANCH"
+ git checkout -b "$BRANCH" next 2>/dev/null || git checkout -b "$BRANCH" main
```
The `|| main` fallback is for the transition window where `next` may not
yet exist. After Phase 2 the fallback can be removed.
**`release.yml` — back-merge to both branches (finalize step):**
```diff

```
### Phase 4 — Cleanup
After 2-3 successful releases under the new model:
- Remove the `|| main` fallbacks from `release.yml` and `hotfix.yml`.
- Remove `develop` from `branch-naming.yml` `alwaysValid` (it was vestigial;
the project never used it).
- Drop warning-only mode from `pr-target-validator.yml`.

# Branching Model
A plain-English guide to where work happens, where it merges, and why
you should almost never need to rebase.
> **Audience:** maintainers and contributors. Aimed at people who can use git
> but don't want to think about it every day. If you came up through CIS in the
> late 90s and never quite warmed to git's mental model — this guide is for you.
---
## TL;DR
```
feat/NNN-slug ─┐
fix/NNN-slug ─┤
chore/NNN-slug ┼──► next (integration) ──► release/X.Y.0 ──► main ──► v-tag ──► npm @latest
docs/NNN-slug ─┘ │
│
hotfix/X.Y.Z ◄── branch from v-tag ──────┐ │
cherry-pick from next ─────┤ │
──────────────────────────►│──► main ──►v-tag (patch) ──► npm @latest
│ │
└─► next ◄──┘ (auto back-merge)
```
Three rules:
1. **You PR to `next`. Not `main`.** Unless you're cutting a release or a
hotfix, the answer to "where does my PR go?" is always `next`.
2. **`main` only moves on release.** Maintainers (and the release/hotfix
workflows) push to `main`. Feature work never touches it.
3. **Hotfixes go to `main` first, then auto-merge back to `next`.** Urgent
fixes don't wait for the release train.
---
## The two long-lived branches
### `main` — production
- Represents what's on `npm @latest` right now.
- Only changes when a release lands, a hotfix lands, or — rarely — when an
emergency fix is cherry-picked.
- Tagged with `vX.Y.Z` on every release.
- Branch protection: 2 approvals, CI green, signed commits, linear history
not required (release back-merges use merge commits to preserve tag context).
- Never push directly. Even maintainers go through PRs.
### `next` — integration for the next release
- Represents what will be in the **next** minor or major release.
- This is where day-to-day feature, fix, chore, docs, and refactor work lands.
- Always at-or-ahead of `main`: contains everything in `main` plus everything
queued for the next release.
- Branch protection: 1 approval, CI green, auto-deleted source branches.
- Auto-back-merged from `main` whenever `main` advances (via
`auto-backmerge.yml`) so it never falls behind.
---
## Short-lived branches
These are work branches. Open one, push commits, PR it, merge it, let it auto-delete.
| Prefix | What it's for | PR target | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| `feat/` | New feature (approved-feature issue) | `next` | `feat/3201-discuss-mode` |
| `fix/` | Bug fix (confirmed-bug issue) | `next` | `fix/3187-config-corruption` |
| `chore/` | Maintenance, refactors, deps, CI | `next` | `chore/3712-bump-node-actions` |
| `docs/` | Documentation only | `next` | `docs/3485-adr-naming-convention` |
| `refactor/` | Internal restructuring, no behavior change | `next` | `refactor/3500-extract-seam` |
| `test/` | Test-only additions or corrections | `next` | `test/3621-restore-fixture` |
| `perf/` | Performance work, no behavior change | `next` | `perf/3300-skill-index` |
| `ci/` | CI/workflow changes only | `next` | `ci/3801-add-node-26-matrix` |
| `revert/` | Reverting a previously-merged change | `next` (or `main` if urgent) | `revert/3919-bad-merge` |
| `hotfix/X.Y.Z` | Patch release branch (created by `hotfix.yml`) | `main` | `hotfix/1.27.1` |
| `release/X.Y.0` | Minor/major release branch (created by `release.yml`) | `main` | `release/1.28.0` |
> **The branch name rule is enforced** by `.github/workflows/branch-naming.yml`.
> A PR from a non-conforming branch gets a warning comment. Pick a prefix.
---
## Three flows: feature, hotfix, release
### Flow 1 — Feature / fix / chore (the 95% case)
This is what you do every day.
```bash
# 1. Start from a fresh `next`.
git fetch origin
git checkout next
git pull --ff-only origin next
# 2. Branch off `next`.
git checkout -b fix/3187-config-corruption
# 3. Work. Commit. Push.
git add -A && git commit -m "fix: harden config parse for trailing comma"
git push -u origin fix/3187-config-corruption
# 4. Open a PR. Target = next. (Don't change the target.)
gh pr create --base next --repo open-gsd/get-shit-done-redux
# 5. CI runs. Reviewer approves. PR squash-merges into `next`.
# Your branch auto-deletes.
```
**Why this rarely needs a rebase:**
- `next` moves slower than `main` did in the old single-branch model — only
changes when other PRs to `next` merge.
- Branch protection on `next` does **not** require "up-to-date before merge"
— only requires CI to be green. So another PR landing on `next` while yours
is open doesn't force you to rebase.
- Squash-merge means each PR becomes one commit on `next` — easy to revert,
easy to read, no merge-noise.
### Flow 2 — Hotfix (urgent patch release)
When you need to ship a fix without waiting for the next minor.
```bash
# 1. The fix itself lands on `next` first (or main, for true emergencies).
# Open the PR exactly like a normal fix.
git checkout next
git pull --ff-only
git checkout -b fix/3919-critical-crash
# ... commit, push, PR to next, merge.
# 2. Trigger the hotfix workflow from the Actions tab:
# workflow: Hotfix Release
# action: create
# version: 1.27.1 (next patch number)
# auto_cherry_pick: true (default)
```
The workflow:
1. Finds the prior tag (`v1.27.0`) — the cherry-pick base.
2. Creates `hotfix/1.27.1` from that tag.
3. Cherry-picks every `fix:` / `chore:` commit on `next` (or `main`) that
isn't already in `v1.27.0`, oldest-first.
4. Bumps versions, pushes the branch.
5. You review the branch. Trigger `finalize` when ready.
6. `finalize` publishes to npm `@latest`, tags `v1.27.1`, opens
merge-back PRs to **both** `main` and `next`.
> See `.github/workflows/hotfix.yml` and `VERSIONING.md` for the deep dive.
### Flow 3 — Minor or major release
When `next` has accumulated enough work to ship a new minor/major.
```
1. Maintainer triggers Actions → Release workflow:
- action: create
- version: 1.28.0
2. Workflow cuts release/1.28.0 from `next` (not main).
`next` keeps moving — new feature PRs can target it.
3. Stabilization on release/1.28.0:
- Bug fixes can be PR'd to release/1.28.0 directly (`fix/3923-rc-blocker`)
- Each fix should also be PR'd to `next` so the next release has it too
(or wait for the auto-back-merge after finalize)
- Trigger `rc` action to publish RC builds: 1.28.0-rc.1, rc.2, ...
4. When stable: trigger `finalize`.
- Publishes to npm @latest
- Tags v1.28.0
- Opens merge-back PR: release/1.28.0 → main
- Opens merge-back PR: release/1.28.0 → next (NEW — picks up RC-only fixes)
5. Merge both back-merge PRs. release/1.28.0 branch is deleted.
```
---
## Why this fixes the "constant rebase" pain
The old single-branch model:
- Every PR targets `main`.
- `main` moves every time anything lands.
- Branch protection often requires "branches up to date" — so the moment
someone else's PR merges, your PR demands a rebase before it can merge.
- 10 PRs in flight = 9 of them need to rebase every time one lands. The
last one to merge has rebased N times.
The new model removes the pressure in three ways:
1. **`main` rarely moves.** Only release/hotfix merges land. Most days `main`
doesn't change at all.
2. **`next` does NOT require "up-to-date before merge".** Branch protection
on `next` only requires CI green. Two PRs to `next` can merge in either
order without rebasing each other — git will handle the merge as long as
they don't touch the same lines.
3. **Squash-merge into `next`.** One commit per PR. No "merge main into my
branch" noise. If you ever do need to bring `next` into your branch
(because of a real conflict), it's one rebase per conflict, not per PR
that lands somewhere else.
You'll still occasionally rebase — when your branch genuinely conflicts with
something that landed on `next`. But that's a real conflict you'd have to
resolve anyway. The treadmill is gone.
---
## Cheat sheet: "where does my PR go?"
```
Is it a hotfix release branch? → main (cut by hotfix.yml)
Is it a stable release branch? → main (cut by release.yml)
Is it an RC-blocker fix? → release/X.Y.0 (and also next, or rely on back-merge)
Is it everything else? → next
```
If you're unsure: `next`. The PR target validator (`pr-target-validator.yml`)
will reject PRs that target `main` from non-release/hotfix branches and tell
you to retarget. Use the GitHub UI "Edit" button on the PR title to change
the base branch — no need to recreate the PR.
---
## Maintainer reference
- **First-time bootstrap:** run `scripts/setup-branch-protection.sh` after
creating the `next` branch for the first time. It applies protection rules
to both `main` and `next` consistently.
- **Repo Settings → General → Pull Requests:**
- Allow squash merging — **ON** (default merge strategy)
- Allow merge commits — **ON** (needed for release/hotfix back-merges)
- Allow rebase merging — **OFF** (avoids confusion)
- Default to "Pull request title" for squash commit messages — **ON**
- Automatically delete head branches — **ON**
- Allow auto-merge — **ON** (the auto-backmerge workflow uses it)
- **Creating `next` for the first time:**
```bash
git checkout main
git pull --ff-only
git checkout -b next
git push -u origin next
# Then go to repo Settings → Branches and set `next` as the default branch
# (so `gh pr create` and the GitHub web UI default to it).
```
- **Phasing in:** see the migration notes in
`docs/adr/230-introduce-next-integration-branch.md`.
- **Updating release.yml / hotfix.yml:** these workflows currently branch
from `main` and cherry-pick from `main`. After phase-2 of the migration
they should branch from `next` (release) and cherry-pick from `next`
(hotfix). The patches are inlined in the ADR.
---
## When NOT to use `next`
A few exceptions where the rules above bend:
- **True production-down emergency.** Push directly to a `fix/critical-*`
branch, PR to `main`. The auto-back-merge workflow will replay it onto
`next` within minutes. Use sparingly — most "urgent" things are fine to go
through `next` and ship same day via the hotfix workflow.
- **Documentation-only typo on a published page.** If the only change is a
doc fix that's visible right now and shouldn't wait for the next release,
PR it to `main`. The auto-back-merge will sync `next`. Most doc changes
should still go through `next` and ship with the next release.
- **CI / workflow files.** Strictly speaking these affect the repo state, not
the published artifact. They can target `next` or `main`. Convention: PR
to `next` unless the CI fix unblocks a release in progress.

## Where Do I Open My PR? (Branching Model)
GSD uses two long-lived branches: `main` (production, what's on npm `@latest`)
and `next` (integration for the upcoming release). **Almost every PR targets
`next`.** Full guide: [`docs/branching.md`](docs/branching.md).
| Your branch | PR target | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `feat/NNN-slug` | `next` | Default for all new features |
| `fix/NNN-slug` | `next` | Default for all bug fixes; ships in next minor or via hotfix cherry-pick |
| `chore/`, `docs/`, `refactor/`, `test/`, `perf/`, `ci/`, `revert/` | `next` | All routine work |
| `fix/critical-NNN-slug` | `main` | Production-down emergencies only; auto-back-merges to `next` |
| `release/X.Y.0` | `main` | Created by `release.yml` — don't make these by hand |
| `hotfix/X.Y.Z` | `main` | Created by `hotfix.yml` — don't make these by hand |
| Stabilization PR for an in-flight release | `release/X.Y.0` | Fix a regression found during the RC cycle |
**Day-to-day commands:**
```bash
git fetch origin
git checkout next
git pull --ff-only origin next
git checkout -b fix/3187-config-corruption
# ... commit, push
gh pr create --base next --repo open-gsd/get-shit-done-redux
```
If you target the wrong branch by accident, the `PR Target Validator`
workflow will post a comment with the one-line fix (click "Edit" by the PR
title and change the base branch — no need to recreate the PR).
**Why this matters:** Under the old single-branch model, every PR required
rebasing onto `main` because branch protection required "up-to-date before
merging" and `main` moved on every merge. With `next` as the integration
branch and that flag disabled on `next`, concurrent PRs can merge in any
order as long as they don't conflict on the same lines. The rebase
treadmill is gone for the 95% case.

Adds:
- docs/branching.md — beginner contributor guide
- docs/adr/XXXX-...md — ADR (will be renamed with issue#)
- .github/workflows/auto-backmerge.yml — disabled in Phase 1
- .github/workflows/pr-target-validator.yml — warn-only in Phase 1
- scripts/setup-branch-protection.sh — idempotent gh api script
Modifies:
- .github/workflows/branch-naming.yml — recognize 'next'
- CONTRIBUTING.md — 'Where Do I Open My PR?' section
Phase 1 is additive: nothing operational changes until Phase 2 flips
auto-backmerge.yml's if:false→true, flips pr-target-validator.yml's
WARN_ONLY→false, creates the next branch, and switches the default
branch. See the ADR for the migration plan."

ISSUE_TITLE="chore: introduce \`next\` integration branch to end rebase treadmill"
ISSUE_BODY=$(cat <<'EOF'
## Problem
Every contributor branch is cut from `main` and PR'd back to `main`. Combined
with branch protection's "Require branches to be up to date before merging",
this produces a rebase treadmill: every time another PR merges, every
in-flight PR demands a rebase. With ~315 unreleased changesets queued and
multiple PRs at any time, this is constant.
## Proposed change
Introduce `next` as a long-lived integration branch. Routine PRs target
`next`; `main` only changes on release / hotfix / emergency fix. An
auto-back-merge workflow keeps `next` aligned with `main`.
Full design: see the ADR in this PR (`docs/adr/XXXX-introduce-next-integration-branch.md`).
Contributor-facing guide: `docs/branching.md`.
## Scope
This issue covers Phase 1 of the rollout (additive infrastructure — no
operational change until the workflow flags are flipped in Phase 2).
- New: `docs/branching.md`, ADR, `auto-backmerge.yml` (disabled),
`pr-target-validator.yml` (warn-only), `setup-branch-protection.sh`.
- Modified: `branch-naming.yml` (recognize `next`), `CONTRIBUTING.md`
("Where Do I Open My PR?" section).
- Not yet touched: `release.yml`, `hotfix.yml`, `auto-branch.yml` — these
are Phase 3, with patches inlined in the ADR.
## Acceptance criteria
- All 7 files land via this PR.
- CI is green.
- `docs/branching.md` renders correctly on GitHub.
- ADR filename is renamed from `XXXX-` to `<this-issue#>-`.
## Phase 2 follow-up (separate PR)
After Phase 1 merges, a small follow-up PR will:
- Create the `next` branch from `main` HEAD.
- Apply branch protection via the new script.
- Switch the default branch to `next`.
- Flip `if: false` → `if: true` in `auto-backmerge.yml`.
- Flip `WARN_ONLY: 'true'` → `'false'` in `pr-target-validator.yml`.

Closes #${ISSUE_NUM}
Phase 1 of the \`next\` integration-branch rollout. See ADR:
\`docs/adr/${ISSUE_NUM}-introduce-next-integration-branch.md\`.
## What's in this PR
**New files**
- \`docs/branching.md\` — contributor-facing how-to-use-it guide
- \`docs/adr/${ISSUE_NUM}-introduce-next-integration-branch.md\` — the ADR
- \`.github/workflows/auto-backmerge.yml\` — opens \`main → next\` PR on each push to main. **Currently disabled** (\`if: false\`); flipped in Phase 2.
- \`.github/workflows/pr-target-validator.yml\` — blocks PRs targeting main except release/hotfix/critical. **Currently warn-only**; enforced in Phase 2.
- \`scripts/setup-branch-protection.sh\` — idempotent gh-api script that applies the two protection rule sets.
**Edits**
- \`.github/workflows/branch-naming.yml\` — adds \`next\` to \`alwaysValid\`.
- \`CONTRIBUTING.md\` — new "Where Do I Open My PR? (Branching Model)" section above Pull Request Guidelines.
## Why nothing breaks today
Both new workflows ship inert (\`if: false\` on the back-merge job, \`WARN_ONLY: 'true'\` on the validator). The validator will post a friendly comment on out-of-pattern PRs but won't fail the check until Phase 2.
## After this merges
A small Phase 2 PR will:
1. Create the \`next\` branch from \`main\` HEAD and push it.
2. Apply branch protection via \`scripts/setup-branch-protection.sh\`.
3. Switch the default branch to \`next\` (GitHub repo setting).
4. Flip the two phase-gate flags above.
Phase 3 (separate PR after a few releases under the new model) updates \`release.yml\`, \`hotfix.yml\`, and \`auto-branch.yml\` to branch from / cherry-pick from \`next\`. Inlined patches in the ADR.

#
# Phase 2 of the `next` integration-branch rollout.
# RUN THIS ONLY AFTER THE PHASE-1 PR HAS BEEN MERGED TO main.
#
# What it does:
# 1. Pulls main (which now contains Phase 1).
# 2. Creates the `next` branch from main HEAD, pushes it.
# 3. Applies branch protection rules via the script committed in Phase 1.
# 4. Switches the repo's default branch to `next` via gh api.
# 5. Flips `if: false` → `if: true` in auto-backmerge.yml.
# 6. Flips `WARN_ONLY: 'true'` → `'false'` in pr-target-validator.yml.
# 7. Commits the flips on a small follow-up branch, opens a PR to next.
