Git Workflow and Protected Main
Protected main plus pull requests and code review is the basic safety net for critical analytics code.
Explanation
A protected main branch blocks direct pushes and only accepts changes merged via reviewed pull requests.
Feature branches isolate work-in-progress and keep main always deployable or releasable.
Code review is not only about style: it enforces architecture, test coverage, and shared ownership of critical modules.

Interpretation
- Protected main prevents unreviewed changes reaching the release line.
- Review + checks turns “I think it works” into “the system verified it”.
- When you remove gates, the risk rises non-linearly because failures compound.
