mikkeli ebfb7da987 docs: compose the git-operations handbook

Branching through tags, forged collaboratively over a full session:
trunk-based branching with type/description naming, atomic commits,
rebase-to-stay-current paired with merge --no-ff to land, revert vs.
reset vs. switch/restore split by shared-vs-local history, an
origin/upstream/mirror remote-naming discipline (including a
vendor-branch pattern for reconciling borrowed-repo drift), and
SemVer tags driven by the same type taxonomy as commits.

Raw Blame History

Handbooks

Instance-agnostic reference material for coding agents — the verbose, citable kind that belongs in a retrieval store, not in a skill.

What goes here

Public standards, style guides, and conventions that apply regardless of which box or project is running — general git operations, language style guides, CERT/MISRA-style rulebooks.
Long-form and specific. A handbook can be as detailed as it needs to be; nothing here is loaded into a model's context wholesale, so length carries no per-turn tax.

What does not go here

Anything specific to one machine or one project. A local Gitea's branch-naming rule, this box's PR checklist — that's instance-bound and belongs in that project's own KB corpus instead (kb-engineering for halogen).
Short, prescriptive procedures achievable within a context window or two. That's a skill, not a handbook — it gets loaded, not retrieved. See skills/ in the halogen-workstation-roadmap repo for the sibling convention.
The retrieval store itself. This repo holds the source-of-truth markdown a human has vouched for. The chunked, embedded index built from it is derived and rebuildable state — it lives beside whichever KB is consuming it, never committed here.

Format

One markdown file per topic at the repo root. Each file should stand as a single admittable document — the same shape a human vouches for at KB admission time.

Status

Started 2026-08-21. First handbook, git-operations.md, composed 2026-08-21 – 2026-08-22: branching, committing, merging vs. rebasing, reverting and undoing, remotes and collaboration, tags and releases.
