 Work must happen on the current feature branch for the task.
 
+## Git Workflow Policy
+
+- `develop` is the integration branch.
+- `main` is reserved for stable releases.
+- For non-trivial changes, Codex MUST work on a dedicated task branch.
+- Allowed task branch prefixes: `feature/`, `fix/`, `docs/`, `chore/`.
+- Codex MUST NOT merge into `develop` or `main`.
+- Codex may commit only on the current task branch after required checks pass.
+- The human operator reviews, merges, pushes, and deletes branches.
+
 Allowed branch prefixes when a new branch is explicitly needed:
 
 - `feature/`
 - `fix/`
-- `hotfix/`
 - `chore/`
 - `docs/`
-- `refactor/`
 
 Do not merge task branches into `develop`. Leave integration to the repository owner or a separate explicit request.

+## Manual Reservations In Admin
+
+Staff can also create a reservation manually from Django admin for a specific performance.
+
+This operational flow should still follow the same backend rules as the public booking flow:
+
+1. staff selects the performance and enters guest contact details and party size;
+2. the backend validates booking availability and capacity;
+3. the backend creates a `pending` reservation;
+4. the backend creates the normal confirmation token;
+5. after the reservation transaction commits, the backend sends the standard confirmation email;
+6. the guest still confirms through the email link before the reservation becomes confirmed and usable for check-in.
+
+For operational testing or guest-support exceptions, Django admin also provides staff-only manual tools:
+
+1. staff may confirm a pending reservation from the reservation admin page;
+2. manual confirmation still rechecks booking availability before confirming;
+3. the backend generates the same `check_in` token type used by the normal confirmation flow;
+4. admin can generate a one-time operational QR code and check-in URL without showing token hashes in normal admin screens;
+5. staff may mark a confirmed reservation as checked in from admin when the browser/mobile check-in flow is unavailable.
