AzuTear fc5c13a4fd Add project documentation and update workflow plan
Adds AGENTS.md, DESIGN.md, and docs/* covering architecture,
conventions, decisions, checklists, branching, release process,
and prompts. Updates README and workflow-feedback-plan to reflect
the decoupled GroupName nomination model.

# Branching Strategy
This repository uses a simple trunk-based model with short-lived branches and
`main` as the deploy branch.
For delivery workflow, see [workflow.md](workflow.md). For PR expectations, see
[CONVENTIONS.md](CONVENTIONS.md#git-and-prs).
## Default Model
```mermaid
gitGraph
commit id: "main"
branch docs-change
checkout docs-change
commit id: "work"
commit id: "validate"
checkout main
merge docs-change
commit id: "deploy"
```
## Branch Types
| Type | Pattern | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Feature | `feature/<short-description>` | New user-facing or system capability. |
| Bug fix | `fix/<short-description>` | Defect correction. |
| Refactor | `refactor/<short-description>` | Behavior-preserving structural work. |
| Documentation | `docs/<short-description>` | Documentation-only changes. |
| Chore | `chore/<short-description>` | Tooling or maintenance work. |
| AI-assisted local work | `codex/<short-description>` | Short-lived Codex branch when branch creation is useful. |
| Hotfix | `hotfix/<short-description>` | Urgent production correction. |
## Main Branch
`main` should remain deployable.
Minimum expectations:
- required checks pass;
- risky migrations and config changes are documented;
- production-impacting changes include validation evidence;
- direct pushes are limited to maintainers or automation.
## Feature Branches
- Keep scope focused.
- Rebase or merge from `main` according to reviewer preference.
- Delete branches after merge.
- Avoid stacking unrelated changes.
- Do not include generated build output or handoff artifacts.
## Commit Messages
Use short imperative subjects that describe the outcome.
Examples:
- `Fix team profile auth recovery`
- `Refine admin risk workspace`
- `Document engineering workflow`
Use a longer body when context, migration notes, or validation evidence is
important for future archaeology.
## Hotfixes
Hotfixes should restore production safely:
1. Branch from the deployed commit or current `main`.
2. Apply the smallest safe fix.
3. Validate the failing path.
4. Deploy.
5. Merge back to `main`.
6. Add follow-up cleanup or tests when the hotfix intentionally stayed narrow.
