 - **Testing policy** — [docs/testing.md](docs/testing.md). Every non-trivial model- or product-user-visible behavior change adds or updates a keyless snapshot through a real runnable example in the same PR; package tests, e2e-only assertions, and mock-only fixtures do not substitute for the assembled application transcript. Fixtures must replay on macOS/Linux; fix fixtures, not normalizers.
 - **A tool's UI render intent is part of its design**, decided up front (`generic`/`terminal`/`diff`, `locations`); presentation methods are pure functions of `args` ([cookbook](docs/cookbook/adding-a-tool.md)).
 - **Plan unit, e2e, and snapshot coverage** for new seams, lifecycle shapes, and transcript surfaces; missing snapshot-harness support is part of the implementation, not deferred follow-up.
-- **Keep PRs coherent and merge with merge commits.** Split an independently meaningful feature or design decision into a separate or stacked PR when combining it obscures ownership, intent, or verification. Never squash/rebase or rewrite pushed branches; put a review fix on its introducing PR, then merge down the stack ([guide](docs/cookbook/responding-to-pr-review-on-a-stack.md)).

 - **Label PRs:** exactly one kind (`feature`/`bug-fix`/`doc`/`testing`/`cleanup`), all matching areas; the taxonomy remains extensible for recurring distinctions.
 - TODO markers: `FIXME`/`TODO`/`XXX` by urgency ([semantics](docs/development.md)).
 - Files end with exactly one trailing newline; `git diff --cached --check` (pre-commit) gates it.
