Maintainer guide

Policies that keep the org coherent

dotnetgovernancenovolis
  • Ship on `main`: maintainers and agents push commits to main (no feature-branch PRs for ordinary work). Package publish runs from merge.yml on push to main.
  • External/fork PRs still use pull-request.yml; do not treat those as the maintainer workflow.
  • Review workflow, package, and registry changes carefully (2 approvals for sensitive paths).
  • Use novolis-workflows reusable workflows; do not duplicate CI logic per repo.
  • Validate .novolis/packages.json when adding packages.
  • Smoke-test publishing with novolis-smoketest before migrating real libraries.
