# strategy: drop residual "branch" terminology

`f5a5518`→[main](/content/gh/entireio/cli/commits/main/index.html)

pfleidi·1mo ago·2 files·+2 added/-2 removed

Two small renames matching the refactor's intent that the topology is ref-based, not branch-based:
- common.go: "failed to ensure metadata branch" → "failed to ensure primary metadata ref".
- manual_commit_push.go: perf span "push_checkpoints_branch" → "push_checkpoint_refs", since PrePush iterates refs.Push (which may contain non-branch refs).
