## ADDED Requirements

### Requirement: Protected trunk and short-lived working branches
The repository workflow MUST require all feature development to happen on short-lived branches, and trunk branches MUST be integrated through reviewed pull requests.

#### Scenario: Developer starts new work item
- **WHEN** a developer starts implementation for a new task
- **THEN** the developer MUST create and use a `feature/*` or `fix/*` branch instead of committing directly to trunk

#### Scenario: Code is merged to trunk
- **WHEN** a branch is ready for integration
- **THEN** the change MUST be merged through a pull request with review instead of direct push to trunk

### Requirement: Standard daily sync flow
The team sync process MUST use a consistent sequence (`status` check, `fetch`, then branch update) to reduce avoidable merge conflicts.

#### Scenario: Branch is up to date before coding
- **WHEN** a developer begins or resumes work
- **THEN** the developer MUST verify working tree status and synchronize the branch using the documented standard sequence

#### Scenario: Shared branch update occurs
- **WHEN** remote commits are detected on the tracked base branch
- **THEN** the developer MUST update local branch history using the defined sync strategy before continuing new commits

### Requirement: Consistent commit and integration checkpoints
The workflow MUST define minimum checkpoints for commit quality and pull request readiness before integration.

#### Scenario: Developer prepares to push
- **WHEN** local commits are ready to publish
- **THEN** commit messages and change grouping MUST follow the repository contribution policy

#### Scenario: Pull request is opened
- **WHEN** a pull request is submitted for review
- **THEN** it MUST include required context (scope, impact, validation evidence) defined by the collaboration policy
