 - **Work branches** (feature/fix/chore/docs/refactor) → asks about breaking changes (feat/fix/refactor only), creates PR to base branch. If breaking, PR title gets `!` (e.g., `feat!: name`). Use `--breaking` flag in non-interactive mode to skip the prompt.
-- **Release-fix / hotfix-fix** → creates PR to parent release/hotfix branch
+- **Release-fix / hotfix-fix** → creates PR to parent release/hotfix branch, title `fix: {name}` with dashes converted to spaces (e.g. `null-crash` → `fix: null crash`)
 - **Release** → merges to main + develop, tags, cleans up
 - **Hotfix** → merges to main + develop + every open `release/*`, tags, cleans up. If a release branch already exists, the hotfix is propagated into it so the upcoming release ships the fix; the operator must then run `bflow bump` to cut a new RC for staging validation.
