ADDED Requirements
Requirement: Repository text normalization baseline
The repository MUST define a .gitattributes baseline that normalizes text handling rules across developer environments.
Scenario: Text file is committed from different operating systems
- WHEN contributors commit text files from mixed platforms
- THEN line-ending behavior MUST follow repository-defined normalization rules to avoid platform-only diffs
Scenario: New text-like file type is introduced
- WHEN a file type with line-based content is added to the project
- THEN the baseline policy MUST define whether it is treated as text and how normalization applies
Requirement: Binary and generated artifact merge safety
The repository baseline MUST identify binary or generated artifacts that should not use normal text merge semantics.
Scenario: Binary asset is modified in parallel branches
- WHEN a merge involves binary files with conflicting revisions
- THEN the repository rules MUST avoid unsafe text merge behavior and require explicit conflict resolution
Scenario: Generated output appears in a pull request
- WHEN generated artifacts are changed
- THEN repository ignore and tracking rules MUST determine whether those files are versioned or excluded
Requirement: Conflict resolution operational guidance
The project MUST provide a documented conflict-resolution procedure that developers can follow consistently.
Scenario: Developer encounters merge conflict
- WHEN a sync or integration action results in conflict markers
- THEN the developer MUST follow the documented resolution steps and verification checklist before completing the merge
Scenario: Team identifies recurring conflict hotspot
- WHEN the same files repeatedly conflict across iterations
- THEN the process MUST require adding mitigation actions (ownership, file split, or baseline rule update) to reduce recurrence
