docs: add workflow protocol for feature development
70f57f3 
Created .claude/WORKFLOW-PROTOCOL.md:
- Planning phase on dev branch
- Commit planning docs before worktree creation
- Create worktree from dev
- Ask user to start NEW session for implementation

Updated CLAUDE.md:
- Added critical workflow protocol section
- Reference to detailed protocol document

This ensures clean separation:
- Planning session (dev) = design, specs, approval
- Implementation session (worktree) = focused coding

- Teaching-aware work command
- Per-course .flow/teach-config.yml
- 3-tier automation (scripts + flow-cli + GitHub Actions)
- Integration with scholar and nexus
- teach-init command for course scaffolding

From brainstorm session with extensive user requirements gathering.
Approved plan ready for implementation.

docs: add two additional spec files for future planning
2eb6501 
Added spec files:
- SPEC-Flow-CLI-Documentation-Enhancement - Complete-Implementation.md
  (1270 lines, ADHD-friendly docs redesign)

  (1418 lines, course migration plan)

These specs were created alongside the teaching workflow spec
but represent separate features for future implementation.

Status: Ready for review and planning

docs: formalize mandatory git workflow protocol
4538e94 
Major updates to workflow documentation:

BRANCH-WORKFLOW.md:
- Added 'Mandatory Workflow Protocol' section
- Detailed 5-step workflow (planning → worktree → implementation)
- Tool usage constraints for Claude Code
- Abort conditions for protected branch operations
- Worktree isolation requirements
- Workflow validation checklist

CLAUDE.md:
- Expanded 'Git Workflow & Standards' section
- Explicit worktree creation protocol
- Critical rule: NEW session required after worktree creation
- Conventional commit standards
- Tool usage constraints
- ABORT conditions for Claude Code

Key workflow rules enforced:
1. Planning on dev branch only
2. No feature code on dev branch
3. Worktree isolation for all features
4. NEW Claude session required after worktree creation
5. Conventional commits mandatory
6. PR workflow for all merges (feature → dev → main)

Impact: Prevents common workflow violations
- No accidental commits to main/dev
- No working in wrong directory
- No mixing planning and implementation contexts
- Enforces branch protection rules

chore(ci): scope the tap App token to contents + pull-requests (#514)
2a78bb3 
create-github-app-token was called with no permission-* inputs, so the
minted token inherited EVERY permission the data-wise-homebrew-automation
installation holds on homebrew-tap, for the duration of the job — a job
that runs sed, git and gh against a live credential.

The step needs exactly two things: commit and push the formula edit
(contents: write), and open then auto-merge the bump PR
(pull-requests: write) — the latter added by #499.

Both are known-granted, not guessed: the App has authored 7 PRs on the tap
(#215, #214, #213, #212, #210, #209, #207) and merged its own (#212, #210
show mergedBy = app/data-wise-homebrew-automation), which requires
pull-requests: write; the formula pushes require contents: write.

Least privilege on an existing credential — no behaviour change intended.
create-github-app-token fails at mint time if a requested permission is not
granted, so a mismatch surfaces immediately rather than silently.

Verified: actionlint reports the same 2 pre-existing SC2086 infos before
and after (different step, not introduced here); YAML parses and both keys
land in the app-token step's with: block.
