- Work only on a feature or issue branch; never mutate
mainordevdirectly. - Reuse an existing issue branch instead of creating another branch.
- Track implementation in Linear when an Atelier team/project is available.
- Use interstitial commits as reviewable waypoints and explain why they exist.
- Preserve user-owned dirty work and unrelated changes.
- Add tests with behavior changes and run the broadest safe verification suite.
- Keep PDS-public versus protected-provider data boundaries explicit in code, UI, tests, and documentation.
- Keep MyContextProtocol integration deferred; the Atelier MCP backplane itself remains in scope.
- Never provision Production, promote
main, activate production Marque DNS, archive source repositories, or upload store builds without explicit approval.
