Squad branching model: main-only workflow with feature branches
{what this skill teaches agents}
Wire legacy .NET Framework service hosts through Enterprise Library-flavored appSettings so Unity, service location, exception policies, logging, and database aliases all hang off one configuration seam.
Build internal order-management Web Forms pages with ObjectDataSource, GridView, DetailsView, and ViewState-heavy filter handling.
Build a believable mid-2000s .NET data layer around connection catalogs, stored-procedure wrappers, DataSets, and repository facades.
Anchor store-ops workbench screens in separate StoreOps tables for order state, status snapshots, workforce alerts, and zone bulletins, with dispatch tickets linked back to orders.
