The technical guide documented the full-copy branch model this change
replaces. Update the conceptual model, data model, creation steps,
ahead/behind computation, update-from-main (squash), and the limitations
section to describe the derived-state model.
This commit carries the design-branching preview by Juan de la Cruz:
elhombretecla/penpot:branching at 0ac265a3f5, which holds 45 commits
and 3 develop merges and was last synced with develop on 2026-09-16.
The branch is squashed together with a merge of origin/develop at
7c039231f7, so the tree is the merged result.
The merge resolved conflicts in six files:
- backend/src/app/migrations.clj: develop's 0155 and 0156 steps run
first, then the branching steps; the names differ.
- backend/src/app/rpc/commands/viewer.clj: both requires stay.
- common/src/app/common/flags.cljc: both flags stay.
- frontend/src/app/main/ui/dashboard/file_menu.cljs: "Create branch"
becomes a menu-item* with the same id, guard and handler.
- frontend/src/app/main/ui/dashboard/grid.cljs: the portal goes with
develop's menu rewrite; the branches popover stays in the trigger.
- frontend/translations/en.po: both sides' entries stay, with
develop's source references.
