Summary​

Fix RW branch validation so dev is treated as a neutral integration branch rather than epic-locked context.

Scope​

Adjust branch validation behavior for dev so it does not enforce epic/version equality while preserving all other guardrails.

Input​

  • BR-064
  • packages/frameworks/workflow mgt/scripts/validation/validate_branch_context.py
  • rw-config.yaml

Deliverable​

  1. Validator no longer enforces epic equality on dev.
  2. Strict validator passes on dev when only epic mismatch was blocking.
  3. BR/Task/Story cross-links are complete and correct.

Acceptance Criteria​

  • validate_branch_context.py treats dev as neutral branch context.
  • dev_branch_epic does not force Step 1 failure on dev.
  • --strict validation passes on dev for previously blocked mismatch case.
  • Story checklist links task to BR-064.
