Safety rules

Branching & history

Never commit directly to main — branch first, merge via PR.
Never rebase shared branches — rebase is for local/personal branches only.
Before any history rewrite (rebase, reset --hard, force push): run git status + git diff --staged, show the user what will be affected, and confirm before proceeding.
Prefer --force-with-lease over --force — fails safely if remote has moved.
Never tag on a branch — only tag on main (or the designated release branch).
