 Odysseus has two branches:
 
 - **`dev`** — where all PRs land. Things can be in flux here; the merge button gets used freely.
-- **`main`** — what users run. Curated and tested by the maintainer. Fast-forwarded to a stable `dev` commit at each release.

 **Open your PR against `dev`, not `main`.** The GitHub "base" dropdown defaults to `dev`. If you opened a PR against `main` by accident, click "Edit" on the PR and change the base — no rebase needed.

+Touching multiple areas does **not** automatically require multiple approvals. Consult domain expertise when needed. `.github/CODEOWNERS` currently contains no ownership rules; the per-area map is under discussion in [issue #593](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/593). Once populated, it helps identify reviewers and accountable contacts; it is not a blanket approval requirement by itself.
