 When running the CI workflow via `tea` (the task execution agent), always set a sufficient timeout (e.g., 600000ms) to allow CI to finish. After CI completes, check the results yourself — do not assume success. Use `gh run watch` or similar to monitor CI status, then inspect logs on failure.
 
-## Branch Strategy
-
-Never push directly to `main`. All changes must be developed on a feature branch and merged via a pull request. Always create a new branch before making changes:
-```bash
-git checkout -b <feature-branch-name>
-```
-After committing changes, push the branch and create a PR:
-```bash
-git push -u origin <feature-branch-name>
-gh pr create --fill
-```
-Wait for CI to pass on the PR before merging.
-
-## Batch PR Workflow
-
-When handling multiple issues split across several PRs that target the same files:
-
-1. **Group issues by logical category** into separate PR branches (e.g., memory-safety, refactoring, test-coverage).
-2. **Fix and push** each branch independently. Let CI run on each PR.
-3. **Run all 3 reviewer types** on each PR and post results to Gitea via `tea pr approve/reject` or the Gitea API:
-   - `reviewer` — general code correctness
-   - `code-quality-guardian` — code quality, duplication, complexity
-   - `security-auditor` — vulnerability assessment
-4. **Iterate**: if any reviewer requests changes, fix, push, re-review. Repeat until all 3 approve.
-5. **Merge approved PRs** one at a time into `main`.
-6. **Create a combined merge branch** for the remaining PRs that conflict with the new `main`:
-   ```bash
-   git checkout -b merge-all origin/main
-   for branch in branch1 branch2 branch3; do
-     git merge origin/$branch --no-edit || true
-     # Resolve conflicts, build, test
-   done
-   ```
-7. **Run review again** on the combined branch. Fix issues, push, re-review until approved.
-8. **Merge** the combined PR, **close** the redundant individual PRs, and **close all resolved issues** via the Gitea API:
-   ```bash
-   curl -s -X PATCH -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" \
-     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-     -d '{"state":"closed"}' \
-     "https://gitea.tap-tap.win/api/v1/repos/owner/repo/issues/<number>"

+## Branch Strategy
+
+Two main branches: `dev` (integration) and `main` (stable releases).
+
+### Rules
+- **All PRs target `dev`** — never target `main` directly
+- **`dev` is the default branch** in Gitea repo settings
+- **`main` is protected** — only merged from `dev` via PR with 2 approvals + full CI pass
+- **Feature/bug branches** branch from `dev`, PR back to `dev`
+- **`dev` → `main` merges** happen on-demand or weekly, requiring full CI + review
+
+```bash
+# Start a new feature
+git checkout dev && git pull
+git checkout -b feat/my-feature
+# ... work, commit, push
+git push -u origin feat/my-feature
+# Create PR targeting dev
+```
+
+### Creating the `dev` branch (one-time setup)
+```bash
+git checkout main && git pull
+git checkout -b dev
+git push origin dev
+# Then in Gitea: Settings → Repository → Default Branch → dev
+```
+
+### Branch protection (Gitea repo settings)
+**For `dev`:**
+- ✅ Require PR for merging
+- ✅ Require 1 approval
+- ✅ Require status checks (all CI jobs must pass)
+- ✅ Delete branch after merge
+
+**For `main`:**
+- ✅ Require PR from `dev` only
+- ✅ Require CI
+- ✅ Require 2 approvals
+- ✅ No direct pushes
+
+## Automated Agent Workflows
+
+All agents run locally via the opencode CLI. There is no CI-based agent automation — agents are invoked on-demand by the developer or by this assistant.
+
+### One-command batch workflow
+
+For fixing a set of issues and creating one integration PR:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Run each subagent on its category
+opencode run --agent security-auditor "Fix all open security issues"
+opencode run --agent debugger "Fix all open bugs"
+opencode run --agent test-writer "Add missing test coverage"
+
+# 2. The assistant handles: merging branches, fixing CI failures,
+#    pushing, creating the integration PR, waiting for CI, iterating.
+#    The developer only reviews the final PR.
+```
+
+### Issue triage loop
+When you want to fix a batch of issues autonomously:
+
+1. Tell the assistant: *"Fix all open issues and create one big PR"*
+2. The assistant delegates to subagents in parallel
+3. Merges their branches, handles CI failures iteratively
+4. Pushes and opens the final PR
+5. You review the PR once CI passes — no intermediate check-ins
+
+### Scheduling
+For periodic maintenance (security audits, code quality scans), run:
+
+```bash
+opencode run --agent security-auditor "Audit the codebase for vulnerabilities"
+opencode run --agent code-quality-guardian "Scan for code quality issues"
+```
+
+This can be cron'd locally if desired (e.g., `crontab -e` with `opencode run`).
+
+## Is opencode a good option?
+
+**Yes, for FastSync's needs.** The hybrid model works well:
+- opencode's 17 specialized agents handle deep code analysis, fixes, tests, and reviews
+- The assistant orchestrates subagents, merges branches, and iterates on CI
+- You only review the final output
+
+The key limitation: opencode is session-based, not a persistent daemon. But for the "fix all issues, one PR" workflow, this is fine — the assistant runs the full pipeline in one shot. Persistent webhook-driven automation isn't available for Gitea, but the one-shot batch approach is simpler and gives you full control over what gets merged.
+
+### Recommendations for this project
+- **Do** use the batch pattern: delegate to subagents, let the assistant merge + iterate CI, review once
+- **Don't** try to run opencode in Gitea Actions — the CI container doesn't have your LLM keys or the interactive context agents need
+- **If** you want fully hands-off periodic scans, set up a local cron job or systemd timer that runs `opencode run` and posts results to Gitea via API
