### Git & Repository Hygiene ✅ COMPLETE
- Renamed local `master` branch to `main` and set tracking to `github/main`
- Deleted remote `master` branch from GitHub (was recreated on each push)
- Removed stale `origin` remote (Gitea — repo not found)
- Set `git config --global init.defaultBranch main`
- Removed `.github/` directory (legacy RFC PR template, no active workflows)
- Single remote: `github` → `https://github.com/oib/AITBC.git`, branch: `main`
