 ## Git Workflow
 
 - Branch prefixes: `feat/`, `fix/`, `refactor/`, `docs/`, `test/`, `chore/`, `perf/`
-- **PRs target `dev`** — never push to `main` or `dev` directly
+- **PRs target `main`** — `main` is the unstable development branch. Work and PR off of `main`. Never push to `main` directly.
 - **Don't force-push** unless after a rebase with conflicts
 - **Minimize pushes** — every push triggers CI (~1 hour on self-hosted runners). Batch commits locally, push once.
