📋 Decision Context

Question:

How should we automate Git branch creation for development sessions?

Task: Session 82.0 - Infrastructure Setup: Git auto-branching

🎯 Decision Made

Chosen:

Auto-create branches in session-manager.js when starting new sessions

Options Considered:

Keep manual branch creation workflow
Auto-create branches in session-manager.js when starting new sessions
Use external Git hooks for branch automation

💭 Reasoning

Eliminates manual branch operations that cause session/branch mismatches. Branch creation is automated when session starts, using format {workspace}-session-{sessionNumber}.{subSessionNumber}. Includes auto-cleanup of merged branches and 60-day archive for unmerged branches. Validates branch exists before allowing session operations.
