- -->
-
-# Contributing
-
-Thank you for your interest in contributing to **MokoJoomTOS**!
-
-This repository is governed by **[MokoStandards](https://github.com/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoStandards)** — the authoritative source of coding standards, workflows, and policies for all Moko Consulting repositories.
-
-## Branch Strategy
-
-| Branch | Purpose | Deploys To |
-|--------|---------|------------|
-| `main` | Bleeding edge — all development merges here | CI only |
-| `dev/XX.YY.ZZ` | Feature development | Dev server (version: "development") |
-| `version/XX.YY` | Stable frozen snapshot | Demo + RS servers |
-
-### Development Workflow
-
-```
-1. Create branch:   git checkout -b dev/XX.YY.ZZ/my-feature
-2. Develop + test    (dev server auto-deploys on push)
-3. Open PR → main    (squash merge only)
-4. Auto-release      (version branch + tag + GitHub Release created automatically)
-```
-
-### Branch Naming
-
-| Prefix | Use |
-|--------|-----|
-| `dev/XX.YY.ZZ` | Feature development (e.g., `dev/02.00.00/add-extrafields`) |
-| `version/XX.YY` | Stable release (auto-created, never manually pushed) |
-| `chore/` | Automated sync branches (managed by MokoStandards) |
-
-> **Never use** `feature/`, `hotfix/`, or `release/` prefixes — they are not part of the MokoStandards branch strategy.
-
-## Commit Conventions
-
-Use [conventional commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/):
-
-```
-feat(scope): add new extrafield for invoice tracking
-fix(sql): correct column type in llx_mytable
-docs(readme): update installation instructions
-chore(deps): bump enterprise library to 04.02.30
-```
-
-**Valid types:** `feat` | `fix` | `docs` | `chore` | `ci` | `refactor` | `style` | `test` | `perf` | `revert` | `build`
-
-## Pull Request Workflow
-
-1. **Branch** from `main` using `dev/XX.YY.ZZ/description` format
-2. **Bump** the patch version in `README.md` before opening the PR
-3. **Title** must be a valid conventional commit subject line
-4. **Target** `main` — squash merge only (merge commits are disabled)
-5. **CI checks** must pass before merge
-
-### What Happens on Merge
-
-When your PR is merged to `main`, these workflows run automatically:
-
-1. **sync-version-on-merge** — auto-bumps patch version, propagates to all file headers
-2. **auto-release** — creates `version/XX.YY` branch, git tag, and GitHub Release
-3. **deploy-demo / deploy-rs** — deploys to demo and RS servers (if `src/**` changed)
-
-## Coding Standards

+# Contributing to Moko Consulting Projects
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing. All Moko Consulting repositories follow this universal workflow and version policy.
+
+## Branching Workflow
+
+```
+feature/* ──PR──> dev ──draft PR──> (renamed to rc) ──merge──> main
+```
+
+### Step by step
+
+1. **Create a feature branch** from `dev`:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout dev && git pull
+   git checkout -b feature/my-change
+   ```
+
+2. **Work and commit** on your feature branch. Push to origin.
+
+3. **Open a PR**: `feature/my-change` → `dev`. After review and checks, merge it.
+
+4. **When ready for release**, open a **draft PR**: `dev` → `main`.
+   - This automatically renames the source branch to `rc` (release candidate)
+   - An RC pre-release is built and uploaded
+
+5. **Alpha and beta branches** are created by manually renaming the branch before the RC stage:
+   - Rename `dev` to `alpha` for early testing → alpha pre-release is built
+   - Rename `alpha` to `beta` for feature-complete testing → beta pre-release is built
+   - When the draft PR is created, the branch is renamed to `rc`
+
+6. **Once PR checks pass** on the `rc` branch, mark the PR as ready and merge to `main`.
+
+7. **Merging to main** triggers the stable release pipeline:
+   - Minor version bump (e.g., `02.09.xx` → `02.10.00`)
+   - Stability suffix stripped (clean version)
+   - Gitea release created with ZIP/tar.gz packages
+   - `updates.xml` updated (Joomla extensions)
+   - `dev` branch recreated from `main`
+
+### Branch summary
+
+| Branch | Purpose | Created by |
+|--------|---------|-----------|
+| `feature/*` | New features and fixes | Developer |
+| `dev` | Integration branch | Auto-recreated after release |
+| `alpha` | Alpha pre-release testing | Manual rename from `dev` |
+| `beta` | Beta pre-release testing | Manual rename from `alpha` |
+| `rc` | Release candidate | Auto-renamed on draft PR to main |
+| `main` | Stable releases | Protected, merge only |
+| `version/XX.YY.ZZ` | Archived release snapshots | Auto-created by CI |
+
+### Protected branches
+
+| Branch | Direct push | Merge via |
+|--------|------------|-----------|
+| `main` | Blocked (CI bot whitelisted) | PR merge only |
+| `dev` | Blocked (CI bot whitelisted) | PR merge from feature/* |
+| `rc` | Blocked (CI bot whitelisted) | Auto-created on draft PR |
+| `alpha` | Blocked (CI bot whitelisted) | Manual rename |
+| `beta` | Blocked (CI bot whitelisted) | Manual rename |
+| `feature/*` | Open | N/A (source branch) |

+
+All versions use `XX.YY.ZZ` — three two-digit segments, zero-padded:
+
+- **XX** — Major version (breaking changes)
+- **YY** — Minor version (new features, bumped on release to main)
+- **ZZ** — Patch version (auto-incremented on every push to dev/feature branches)
+
+Rollover: patch `99` → `00` increments minor; minor `99` → `00` increments major.
+
+### Stability suffixes
+
+Each branch appends a suffix to indicate stability:
+
+| Branch | Suffix | Example |
+|--------|--------|---------|
+| `main` | (none) | `02.09.00` |
+| `dev` | `-dev` | `02.09.01-dev` |
+| `feature/*` | `-dev` | `02.09.01-dev` |
+| `alpha` | `-alpha` | `02.09.01-alpha` |
+| `beta` | `-beta` | `02.09.01-beta` |
+| `rc` | `-rc` | `02.09.01-rc` |
+
+### Auto version bump
+
+On every push to `dev`, `feature/*`, or `patch/*`:
+
+1. Patch version incremented
+2. Stability suffix `-dev` applied
+3. All version-bearing files updated (manifests, CHANGELOG, PHP headers, etc.)
+4. Commit created with `[skip ci]` to avoid loops
+
+### Release version flow
+
+Version bumps happen at specific release events:
+
+| Event | Bump | Example |
+|-------|------|---------|
+| Feature merged to dev | Patch bump after dev release | `02.09.01-dev` → release → `02.09.02-dev` |
+| Dev promoted to RC | Minor bump | `02.09.02-dev` → `02.10.00-rc` |
+| RC merged to main | Minor bump | `02.10.00-rc` → `02.11.00` (stable) |
+| Dev recreated from main | Patch bump | `02.11.00` → `02.11.01-dev` |
+
+### Release stream copies
+
+When a higher-stability release is published, copies are created for all lesser streams with the same base version:
+
+- **RC `02.10.00-rc`** also creates: `02.10.00-dev`, `02.10.00-alpha`, `02.10.00-beta`
+- **Stable `02.11.00`** also creates: `02.11.00-dev`, `02.11.00-alpha`, `02.11.00-beta`, `02.11.00-rc`
+
+This ensures Joomla sites on ANY stability channel see the update (Joomla only shows versions higher than what's installed).
+
+### Version files
+
+The version tools update all files containing version stamps:
+
+- `.mokogitea/manifest.xml` (canonical source)
+- Joomla XML manifests (`<version>` tag)
+- `README.md`, `CHANGELOG.md` (`VERSION:` pattern)
+- `package.json`, `pyproject.toml`
+- Any text file with a `VERSION: XX.YY.ZZ` label
+
+Files synced from other repos (with a `# REPO:` header) are not touched.
