Branch Mapping

A proven delivery model is:

refs/heads/main      -> dev
refs/heads/main-prod -> preprod

Production is deliberately excluded from normal direct CI deployment.

This prevents a release branch from becoming an unrestricted production mutation credential.

Individual tenants may use different branch names, but the same separation should be preserved:

• development branch -> development environment;
• release/preproduction branch -> preproduction environment;
• production -> controlled promotion.
