CONTRIBUTING.md:22

  • [nitpick] The added instruction clearly directs contributors to use the 'next' branch. Consider reviewing the rest of the documentation to ensure all branch references are consistent.
> **Important**: Please open your pull request against the `next` branch, not `main`. The `next` branch is where we integrate new features and changes before they are merged to `main`.

.github/workflows/docker-publish.yml:12

  • With the updated branch filter including 'next', double-check that Docker publish triggers are intended on both branches to avoid unintended deployments.
    branches: ["main", "next"]
