Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe branch naming strategy now defines 38 authorized types and accepts semantic-version release names. A new pre-push hook validates branch names except on protected branches and in detached HEAD state. Updated routing, tests, specifications, agent instructions, rollout guidance, and verification documents describe the rules and related checks. ChangesBranch naming strategy

In @.github/specs/004-branch-naming-strategy/ROLLOUT_ANNOUNCEMENT.md:
- Line 118: Replace the “[org dashboard URL]” placeholder in the Metrics
dashboard entry with the actual dashboard URL, or explicitly state that the
dashboard is not yet available before publishing.
- Around line 168-170: Update the recovery cherry-pick command in the rollout
steps to use a valid commit range from origin/develop to the temporary branch,
such as origin/develop..origin/temp-old-name, or the equivalent old-name range.
Ensure it selects the commits from the old branch after checkout resets HEAD to
origin/develop.
- Line 15: Update the rollout announcement’s enforcement statement to match
Phase 1: limit the immediate branch-naming requirement to the five pilot
repositories and describe enforcement as soft, or explicitly state the date or
phase when organization-wide enforcement begins. Keep the broader rollout
details in lines 103-107 consistent with this scope.
- Line 59: Correct the relative documentation links in ROLLOUT_ANNOUNCEMENT.md
and the additionally referenced links so they resolve from
.github/specs/004-branch-naming-strategy/: use
../../../docs/BRANCHING_STRATEGY.md, ../../../CLAUDE.md, and ./plan.md as
appropriate. Do not change link targets or surrounding content beyond these path
corrections.
- Around line 41-59: Correct the authorized branch type count in the “Authorized
Branch Types” table: the explicitly listed entries total 24, so change “+22
more” to “+14 more” to preserve the stated 38 total, or expand the table to list
all 38 types.
- Around line 63-69: Update the final sentence in the Forbidden Prefixes section
to accurately describe enforcement: invalid prefixes normally block pushes via
the local pre-push hook, but a bypassed push may create a PR whose
branch-validation check fails and can block merging until the branch is renamed.
In @.github/specs/004-branch-naming-strategy/tasks.md:
- Line 521: Update task T136 so its stated number of missing branch types
matches the exact listed entries: either correct the count or adjust the list,
ensuring the “Allowed Types” total and the added-type count are internally
consistent.
In @.husky/pre-push:
- Around line 12-15: Make protected-branch handling consistent between the local
hook and remote validation: ensure the workflow path involving
validateBranchName bypasses validation for the exact branch names develop and
main, or update the shared validator to apply the same exception. Preserve the
existing {type}/{scope}-{title} validation for all other branches.
In `@docs/branching-strategy/IMPLEMENTATION_VERIFICATION.md`:
- Line 187: Correct the checklist reference from CLAUSE.md to CLAUDE.md,
matching the repository filename used by the surrounding references.
- Around line 124-135: Update the verification matrix entry for fix to reference
pr_bug.md instead of pr_bugfix.md, matching the active branch-types.yml mapping
and existing template. Leave the security mapping and active router
configuration unchanged.
In `@docs/branching-strategy/README.md`:
- Line 289: Update the documentation links in the branching strategy README for
pr-creation and release guidance to reference the corresponding
pr-creation-agent/ and release-agent/ directories, preserving the existing link
labels and descriptions.
In `@lib/__tests__/integration-branch-validation.test.js`:
- Around line 7-8: Remove the direct Node execution command from the test file’s
usage comments, leaving only the supported Jest command for running
integration-branch-validation.test.js.

release/v1.0.0 conflicts with the documented format. The format requires a scope and title separated by a hyphen, and permits only lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens. Use an example such as release/version-v1-0-0, or update the validator and all format rules to allow dotted release names.

The singular doc/ type was missing from the constitution table, even though it is listed in the spec as a separate type from docs/. Added doc/ with mapping to pr_docs.md to complete all 38 authorized types per Constitution Principle V.

In @.github/specs/004-branch-naming-strategy/ROLLOUT_ANNOUNCEMENT.md:
- Line 168: Revise the recovery step in the rollout announcement so recovery
does not depend on pushing from the invalid branch, since the pre-push hook may
reject that push. Start with a local rename, or document a safe bypass and its
remote-validation consequence.
- Line 164: Update the branch-renaming instruction to use `git branch -m
old-name new-name` instead of deleting the branch and recreating it from
`origin/develop`, preserving the existing branch tip.
In @.github/specs/004-branch-naming-strategy/spec.md:
- Line 127: Update FR-002’s full-pattern specification to include an alternative
that accepts release branches named with a version, such as release/v1.0.0,
alongside the existing scope-title pattern. Keep the alternative consistent with
the release-version behavior in validate-branch-name.js.
In @.github/workflows/branch-name-validation.yml:
- Around line 111-129: Update the metrics JSON construction in the workflow step
to serialize values safely rather than interpolating branch and other data into
quoted JSON strings. Use jq’s argument handling to build valid JSON while
preserving the existing fields and values.
In `@docs/branching-strategy/README.md`:
- Around line 143-145: Use one authoritative mapping for PR template routing
across .github/branch-types.yml and .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/config.yml,
then update the other configuration and the README table to match. Keep the
security/ and test/ branch prefixes consistently routed to the same templates
everywhere.
- Line 295: Update the labeling guidance link in the README to point to the

Address 4 MAJOR and HIGH severity CodeRabbit findings:
1. Fix ROLLOUT_ANNOUNCEMENT.md recovery guidance (lines 164-172)
- Replace unsafe recovery procedure that attempted to push invalid branch
- Add two safe recovery options:
* Option 1: Use `git branch -m` to rename locally (simpler)
* Option 2: Create correct branch and cherry-pick commits (if already pushed)
- Add note that pre-push hook rejects pushes to invalid branches
2. Update FR-002 specification to document release/v1.0.0 pattern alternative
- Add exception clause for release type in FR-002
- Document semantic versioning format: release/v{major}.{minor}.{patch}
- Provide regex alternative for semantic version matching
- Clarifies that release branches support two valid patterns
3. Fix metrics JSON construction vulnerability in branch-name-validation.yml
- Replace unsafe string interpolation with jq for proper JSON escaping
- Use jq -n with --arg parameters to safely handle special characters
- Prevents malformed JSON when branch names contain quotes, newlines, or backslashes
- Maintains metrics collection while improving security
4. Correct labeling.agent.md link path in docs/branching-strategy/README.md
- Fix broken link from `../../agents/labeling.agent.md` to correct path
- Update to `../../agents/labeling-agent/labeling.agent.md`
- Ensures documentation references match actual file structure
Remaining CodeRabbit findings (requiring implementation work):
- Consolidate PR template routing mappings (branch-types.yml not yet created)
- Update validate-branch-name.js to set type='release' for semantic versions
- Add missing docstrings to achieve 80% coverage
All four fixes address specification accuracy, security, and usability issues.

Discussion:
|
| Option | Approach | Cost | Timeline | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A: Guidance-First | Use existing doc/ & docs/ + document spec PR workflow convention |
MINIMAL | Immediate | ✅ Recommended |
| B: Amend Constitution | Formally add spec/ & specs/ as types #39 & #40 |
MAJOR | 2-3 weeks | Viable if preferred |
| C: Standalone governance | Spec workflow guidance outside branch naming | MEDIUM | 1 week | Less aligned with design |
Option A Details (Recommended)
Why it works:
- ✅ Respects Constitution (no type additions)
- ✅ Solves the real problem (enforces separate spec PRs via guidance)
- ✅ Minimal implementation (CLAUDE.md + agents.md updates only)
- ✅ Immediate rollout (no amendment process)
Implementation:
- Document in
CLAUDE.md: "For SpecKit work, usedoc/ordocs/prefixes; both route topr_docs.md" - Create
docs/SPECKIT_PR_WORKFLOW.md— explains when/how to create separate spec PRs - Update
agents.mdwith cross-reference to spec workflow guidance - Include in this PR (docs: Complete Branch Naming Strategy — Constitution Principle V Alignment #3353)
Next Steps
I'm not implementing changes until we discuss with @ashley and confirm the direction:
- Which option aligns with the intent? (A, B, or C)
- Should we proceed with Option A immediately, or formal Constitution amendment?
- Any preference on governance approach?
Once confirmed, I'll implement the documentation updates for this branch.
cc: @ashley — This touches Constitution governance; wanted to flag before moving forward.

Align FR-002 with the release validator and tests.
The earlier release/v1.0.0 correction is present. FR-002 still permits only the release/v{major}.{minor}.{patch} form. lib/validate-branch-name.js also accepts release/1.2.3 and release/v2.0.0-rc1, and the changed test requires both forms. This conflicts with the documented release contract. Either document the optional v and prerelease suffixes in FR-002 and the release guidance, or remove those broader cases from the validator and test.
