    "description": "A source-control branching model where developers collaborate on code in a\nsingle branch (trunk/main), using short-lived feature branches (< 1 day) or\ncommitting directly to trunk. Relies on feature flags, branch-by-abstraction,\nand comprehensive CI to keep trunk always releasable. Enables continuous\nintegration and reduces merge conflicts dramatically.\n",
