Architectural Prevention & Performance Tuning Checklist
- Maintain strict branch protection rules on `main` to replicate Endevor's production approval controls.
- Use IBM DBB metadata store (DBB Metastore) to record build footprints and dependency maps.
- Train mainframe teams on Git branching models (Trunk-based or GitFlow) before decommissioning Endevor.
- Leverage StackMF's turnkey Broadcom Endevor Migration Framework for guaranteed zero-downtime cutover.
