✗ Cannot land: this lane transition is not permitted by the repository workflow

  Workflow `com.tovio.gitflow@1` does not permit:
    feature/x  (role: feature)  →  main  (role: trunk)

  A `feature` lane may land onto:      feature, integration
  A `trunk` lane may receive from:     hotfix, release

  Land onto a permitted target instead:
    tovio land --into develop

What to read

  • Error reference — the three-part message standard (what happened, why, what to do next), the exit-code classes, the --json shape, and the everyday codes. It is a curated subset, so it may not name this one: TVO-FLOW-001 is in the FLOW area and carries the same three-part message either way.
  • Troubleshooting — the diagnostic commands and recovery paths behind the most common failures.

Still stuck, or is the message wrong?

Report it. The link carries only this code and the surface; describe the behaviour in your own words and never paste secrets, capability tokens, session strings, or private repository data.
