-Formplayer also has a dependency on the commcare-core repository. The commcare-core `master` branch is not

-the `formplayer` branch.
+Formplayer depends on the commcare-core repository via the `libs/commcare` submodule, which tracks the `master` branch. Cross-repo CI automatically tests formplayer against commcare-core PRs, so no manual cross-testing is needed.
