# Development Context You are in active development mode. Prioritize speed and iteration. ## Behavior - Write working code first, optimize later. - Run tests after each meaningful change to catch regressions early. - Use the dev server and hot reload. Do not rebuild from scratch for small changes. - Create feature branches for all work. Commit frequently with descriptive messages. - Use TODO comments sparingly and only for follow-up items within the current session. ## Coding - Follow existing patterns in the codebase. Match the style of surrounding code. - Add type annotations to all new functions and variables. - Write unit tests alongside the implementation, not as an afterthought. - Handle error cases explicitly. Do not leave empty catch blocks. - Prefer small, focused functions over long procedural blocks. ## Tools - Start the dev server before making UI changes to verify visually. - Use the database client to inspect data when debugging queries. - Check `git diff` before committing to review your own changes. - Run the linter before pushing to avoid CI failures. ## Avoid - Do not refactor unrelated code while building a feature. - Do not add dependencies without checking for existing alternatives in the project. - Do not skip tests to save time. Broken tests compound quickly. - Do not push directly to main. Always use a feature branch and PR.
