+# Branch Protection Configuration
+
+## Required Status Checks for PRs
+
+To ensure code quality, the following status checks are required for all pull requests targeting `main` and `develop` branches:
+
+### CI Workflow Status Checks
+- `integration-tests (backend)` - Backend integration tests
+- `integration-tests (ai-engine)` - AI Engine integration tests  
+- `integration-tests (integration)` - Cross-service integration tests
+- `frontend-tests (unit)` - Frontend unit tests
+- `frontend-tests (build)` - Frontend build verification
+- `frontend-tests (lint)` - Frontend linting
+- **`coverage-check` - Test coverage verification (≥80% required)**
+- `performance-monitoring` - CI performance and cache monitoring
+
+### Coverage Requirements
+
+**Minimum Coverage: 80%**
+
+Both backend and AI Engine must maintain at least 80% test coverage. The `coverage-check` job will:
+
+1. Run comprehensive test suites with coverage reporting
+2. Parse coverage XML files to extract exact percentages
+3. Fail the build if any component falls below 80%
+4. Generate a summary report in the PR
+
+### Coverage Enforcement
+
+The CI workflow now enforces 80% coverage through:
+- `--cov-fail-under=80` flag in pytest configuration
+- Explicit threshold checking in the coverage-check job
+- Error messages with exact coverage percentages when thresholds aren't met
+- GitHub Step Summary with pass/fail status for each component
+
+### Adding to Branch Protection
+
+To enable this in your repository:
+
+1. Go to Settings → Branches → Branch protection rule
+2. Select `main` and `develop` branches
+3. Enable "Require status checks to pass before merging"
+4. Add all the status checks listed above
+5. Enable "Require branches to be up to date before merging"
+
+### Coverage Report Locations
+
+Coverage reports are uploaded as artifacts:
+- `coverage-reports` artifact contains:
+  - XML reports for programmatic access
+  - HTML reports for detailed viewing
+  - JSON reports for integration with other tools
+
+Reports are retained for 7 days and can be downloaded from the Actions tab.
