September 2025: Implemented branch naming standardization for MetaMask/github-tools to improve release reliability and developer clarity. Replaced default 'master' with 'stable' in CI/CD workflows and scripts, and unified release branches under 'release/x.y.z' by removing platform-specific logic in get_release_branch_name. These changes streamline release processes and reduce confusion for dependent teams. Notable commits include: b39d2cf87af5e31c4a85a83221e3a40b79edf06c (rename master to stable) and 8144a84f14b3ecf704846ef3569937df85ad9291 (rename Version-vx.y.z branches into release/x.y.z).
