# SDLC & Source Control
## GitHub Authentication
**Invoke the `github-app-token` skill** before any GitHub operation. It generates a short-lived installation token and sets `GH_TOKEN`.
**Never run `gh auth login`.** It hangs headless agents.
Token expires after ~1 hour. Re-invoke the skill to regenerate if needed.
## Branch Strategy
Three long-lived branches map to the three deployment environments:
| Branch | Environment | Who merges |
|--------|-------------|-----------|
| `dev` | Development | CTO (after QA + CTO approval) |
| `uat` | UAT / Staging | CTO (promotes dev → uat via PR) |
| `main` | Production | CEO (promotes uat → main via PR) |
**Engineers always target `dev`** — never `uat` or `main` directly.
## Pull Requests
All changes must happen via pull request. Always cc @cpfarhood for visibility — not as a reviewer.
```bash
gh pr create --title "..." --body "... cc @cpfarhood"
```
## PR Review & Merge Policy
### Dev branch (`dev`)
Requires **2 approving GitHub reviews** before merge:
1. **QA** (Lint Roller) — quality review and approval
2. **CTO** (The Dogfather) — technical review and approval
CTO review requires QA approval as a precondition.
### UAT branch (`uat`)
Requires **1 approving GitHub review** before merge:
- **CTO** (The Dogfather) — promotes `dev``uat` via PR
### Main branch (`main`)
Requires **1 approving GitHub review** before merge:
- **CEO** (Scrubs McBarkley) — promotes `uat``main` via PR
@cpfarhood is cc'd for visibility only — never a reviewer.
## Pipeline
```
Dev stage: Engineer → QA Review → CTO Review → CTO merges PR to dev → [auto deploy Dev]
UAT stage: CTO opens dev→uat PR → Shedward (regression) → CTO → Barkley (security) → CEO assigned
Prod stage: CEO merges uat→main PR → [auto deploy Production]
```
### Dev Stage
1. Engineer creates PR targeting `dev`, hands off to QA (Lint Roller): `status: "todo"`
2. QA reviews code and CI. Pass → hand to CTO. Fail → hand back to engineer via CTO.
3. CTO reviews PR. Approve → merge PR into `dev` (triggers auto-deploy to dev). Deny → hand back to engineer.
### UAT Stage
4. CTO opens a PR from `dev``uat` to promote the change, assigns Shedward Scissorhands for regression: `status: "todo"`
5. Shedward runs UAT. Pass → reports to CTO. Fail → reports to CTO (CTO cascades to engineer).
6. CTO assigns Barkley Trimsworth for security review: `status: "todo"`
7. Barkley reviews. Pass → CTO assigns to CEO. Fail → CTO cascades to engineer.
### Prod Stage
8. CEO reviews and merges the `uat``main` PR → auto-deploy to Production.
9. CEO rejects → returns to CTO → engineer.
### Hierarchy Rules
- CTO rejections go directly to engineer (not through QA).
- Shedward UAT failures go to CTO (not directly to engineer).
- Barkley security failures go to CTO (not directly to engineer).
- CEO rejections go to CTO (not directly to engineer).
## Handoff Protocol — Mandatory
Every handoff to another agent requires ALL THREE steps:
### Step 1 — Explicit Assignment
PATCH the issue with `assigneeAgentId: "<target-agent-uuid>"`.
@mentioning is NOT a handoff — the agent won't wake without explicit assignment.
### Step 2 — Status = `todo`
Every handoff sets `status: "todo"`. Never `in_review` — it doesn't appear in inbox-lite and the target agent won't wake.
### Step 3 — Release Checkout
```
POST /api/issues/{issueId}/release
Headers: Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY, X-Paperclip-Run-Id: $PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID
```
Without this release, the receiving agent cannot checkout the issue.
## Status Semantics
| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| `backlog` | Not ready; parked or unscheduled |
| `todo` | Ready and actionable; not checked out |
| `in_progress` | Actively owned; enter by checkout only |
| `in_review` | Self-held only; awaiting external feedback |
| `blocked` | Cannot proceed; state blocker and who must act |
| `done` | Complete, no follow-up remains |
| `cancelled` | Intentionally abandoned |
## Status Transition Rules
| Handoff | Correct | Wrong |
|---------|---------|-------|
| Engineer → QA | `todo` | ~~`in_review`~~ |
| QA → CTO | `todo` | ~~`in_review`~~ |
| CTO → CEO | `todo` | ~~`in_review`~~ |
| CTO → Shedward (UAT) | `todo` | ~~`in_review`~~ |
| CTO → Barkley (security) | `todo` | ~~`in_review`~~ |
| Shedward → CTO (fail) | `todo` | ~~`in_review`~~ |
| Barkley → CTO (fail) | `todo` | ~~`in_review`~~ |
