 *   **Contribution Workflow (Pull Request Process):**
-    1.  **Fork & Branch:** Create a new branch based on the `dev` branch (always use `git checkout -b <branch-name> dev` to ensure you're branching from `dev`, not the currently checked out branch).
+    1.  **Fork & Branch:** Create a new branch in your fork.
    2.  **Make Changes:** Adhere to all coding conventions and patterns.
    3.  **Test:** Create component tests for all supported platforms and run the full test suite locally.
    4.  **Lint:** Run `pre-commit` to ensure code is compliant.
    5.  **Commit:** Commit your changes. There is no strict format for commit messages.
-    6.  **Pull Request:** Submit a PR against the `dev` branch. The Pull Request title should have a prefix of the component being worked on (e.g., `[display] Fix bug`, `[abc123] Add new component`). Update documentation, examples, and add `CODEOWNERS` entries as needed. Pull requests should always be made using the `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` template - fill out all sections completely without removing any parts of the template.
