Main TON monorepo, which includes the code of the node/validator, lite-client, tonlib, FunC compiler, etc.

## Updates flow:

* **master branch** - mainnet is running on this stable branch.

    Only emergency updates, urgent updates, or updates that do not affect the main codebase (GitHub workflows / docker images / documentation) are committed directly to this branch.

* **testnet branch** - testnet is running on this branch. The branch contains a set of new updates. After testing, the testnet branch is merged into the master branch and then a new set of updates is added to testnet branch.

* **backlog** - other branches that are candidates to getting into the testnet branch in the next iteration.

Usually, the response to your pull request will indicate which section it falls into.
