🤖 I have created a release beep boop

0.56.0 (2026-11-10)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• git: in an empty repository with spec.parentBranch omitted, a GitBranch whose spec.branch is not the default branch the server names (Git protocol v2: GitHub, Gitea, Forgejo) creates that default branch first, with one empty commit authored and signed like the provider's other commits, and starts spec.branch from it, instead of creating spec.branch as the repository's first branch. The provider's spec.allowedGitBranches must allow the GitBranch to write the default branch; otherwise the GitBranch reports Ready=False, Stalled=True, reason DefaultBranchCreationNotAllowed, its GitTargets report GitBranchNotReady, and nothing is written until the branch is allowed or has a first commit. status.remote.parent.branch names an empty repository's default branch when the server reports it. See docs/UPGRADING.md, "An empty repository gets its default branch first".
