+# Refactoring safely
+
+Refactoring changes structure while behavior stays identical. The moment behavior changes it is no
+longer refactoring, and it needs its own review and its own tests.
+
+## Secure the behavior first
+
+Ensure tests cover the current behavior before restructuring. Without that net, a refactor is an
+untested rewrite and any difference goes unnoticed.
+
+## Separate the commits
+
+Never mix refactoring with a feature or a fix in one commit. Mixed changes make review hard and make
+a clean revert impossible when something breaks.
+
+## Move in small steps
+
+Take one transformation at a time and keep the suite green between steps. A long sequence of
+unverified edits is where the untraceable regression enters.
+
+## Follow the pain
+
+Refactor where change is actually difficult and where work is actually happening. Restructuring
+stable code nobody touches spends risk with no return.
+
+## Know when to stop
+
+Stop when the code is clear enough for the change you came to make. Refactoring is preparation for
+work, not the work itself.

+# Schema migrations
+
+A migration runs once against real data that cannot be recreated. Treat it with more care than the
+code that prompted it.
+
+## Make migrations additive first
+
+Add columns and tables before anything reads them, and remove old structures only after nothing
+references them. During deployment both versions of the application run at once.
+
+## Expand, migrate, contract
+
+Add the new shape, backfill it, switch reads and writes over, then drop the old shape in a later
+release. Attempting all three at once forces downtime and leaves no safe point to stop.
+
+## Backfill in batches
+
+Update large tables in bounded chunks with pauses between them. A single statement over millions of
+rows holds locks and can stall the application entirely.
+
+## Keep them reversible
+
+Provide a tested rollback, or design the change so the previous version still works against the new
+schema. A migration you cannot undo turns a small mistake into an incident.
+
+## Test against production-like data
+
+Verify on a realistic copy for both correctness and duration. Migrations that finish instantly in
+development regularly run for hours in production.

+# Secrets handling
+
+A secret in version control is compromised the moment it is pushed, and rewriting history does not
+undo it.
+
+## Keep secrets out of the repository
+
+Load credentials from environment variables or a secret manager. Commit a documented example file
+with placeholder values, never the real ones.
+
+## Rotate on exposure
+
+Treat any secret that reached a repository, log, ticket or chat message as leaked. Rotate it before
+removing it — deletion without rotation leaves the credential valid.
+
+## Never log or serialize them
+
+Redact credentials, tokens and keys in logs, error messages and crash reports. Review debug output
+and third-party error reporters, which capture more surrounding context than expected.
+
+## Understand the client boundary
+
+Anything shipped to a browser or mobile app is public, regardless of build-time substitution. Only
+publishable identifiers belong in client code; every real secret stays server side.
+
+## Scan continuously
+
+Run secret scanning in pre-commit hooks and in CI. Detection after the fact is far cheaper than an
+incident, and cheaper still before the push.

+## Validate at the boundary

+Validate structure, type, range and length where untrusted data enters, and reject what does not

+
+## Never build queries or commands by concatenation
+
+Use parameterized queries and argument arrays. String interpolation into SQL, shell commands,
+templates or file paths is the root of injection.
+
+## Encode for the destination
+
+Escaping depends on where the value lands: HTML body, attribute, URL, SQL, shell and JSON all differ.
+Encode at the point of output, not on the way in.
+
+## Apply least privilege
+
+Give every process, token and database role the narrowest permissions that let it work. Scope
+credentials per environment so a leak in one does not compromise the others.
+
+## Fail closed
+
+On error, deny access and log the reason. An exception path that falls through to permitted access is
+a vulnerability, not a bug.

+
+# Semantic markup
+
+The accessible behavior of a native element is free and correct. Recreating it is expensive and
+rarely complete.
+
+## Use the element that means it
+
+Buttons, links, form controls, lists and headings carry role, keyboard behavior and state to
+assistive technology. A styled container with a click handler carries none of it.
+
+## Distinguish links from buttons
+
+A link navigates, a button performs an action. Choosing by appearance breaks expectations for
+keyboard, screen reader and browser features such as opening in a new tab.
+
+## Structure with headings and landmarks
+
+Use one descriptive page title, a logical heading order without skipped levels, and landmark regions
+for navigation, main content and complements. Many users navigate by these alone.
+
+## Label every control
+
+Associate a visible label with each input. Placeholders disappear on entry and are not labels;
+icon-only controls need an accessible name.
+
+## Describe meaningful images
+
+Give informative images alt text conveying their purpose, and mark decorative images as such. Alt
+text should say what the image communicates, not what it depicts.

+
+## Log structured events, not sentences
+
+Emit key-value fields rather than interpolated prose. Structured records can be filtered, aggregated

+
+Propagate a request or trace identifier through every layer, including asynchronous work. Without

+## Use levels with discipline
+
+Error means someone must act, warn means a degraded path was taken, info records significant state
+changes, and debug is for development. When everything is an error, the level conveys nothing.
+
+## Never log sensitive data
+
+Credentials, tokens, personal data and payment details must not reach logs, which are widely
+readable and long-lived. Redact at the logging boundary rather than trusting call sites.
+
+## Log decisions, not control flow
+
+Record what was decided and why — inputs, chosen branch, outcome. Tracing every function entry
+produces volume without insight and buries the events that matter.

+Documentation is read under pressure by someone trying to accomplish something. Optimize for their

+
+## Lead with the answer

+Put the conclusion, the command or the decision first, then the explanation. Readers stop as soon as

+A tutorial teaches, a how-to solves one problem, a reference describes the surface, an explanation
+gives context. Mixing them in one document makes it useless for all four purposes.

+Decide what a test is for before writing it. Most wasted test effort comes from testing at the wrong
+level, not from writing tests badly.
+
+## Choose the level
+
+Cover business rules and edge cases with unit tests, module boundaries and wiring with integration
+tests, and only critical user journeys end to end. Push detail down: if a case can be covered one
+level lower, cover it there.

+## Test behavior, not structure
+
+Assert on observable behavior through the public interface. A test that breaks when an
+implementation detail changes, while behavior stays the same, is a liability.
+
+## Keep tests independent
+
+Each test sets up the state it needs and passes in any order, alone or in parallel. Shared mutable
+fixtures produce failures that depend on execution order.

+## Name for the case

+without opening the file.

+
+# Transactions and consistency
+
+Concurrency defects are rare in testing and constant in production. Decide the boundary and the
+isolation deliberately.
+
+## Scope transactions tightly
+
+A transaction should cover exactly the writes that must succeed or fail together. Long transactions
+hold locks and connections, and turn one slow operation into a system-wide stall.
+
+## Keep external calls outside
+
+Never hold a transaction open across a network request to another service. The remote call cannot be
+rolled back, and its latency becomes lock duration.
+
+## Know your isolation level
+
+The default isolation of your database determines which anomalies are possible. Read-modify-write
+sequences need explicit locking or a compare-and-set, because reading and then writing is not atomic.
+
+## Make retries safe
+
+Give operations an idempotency key so a retried request cannot apply twice. Clients, queues and
+proxies all retry, and at-least-once delivery is the normal case.
+
+## Prefer atomic operations to read-then-write
+
+Let the database compute the new value in one statement instead of reading it into the application
+and writing it back. That closes the window where another writer intervenes.

+Perceived speed is decided by what the user sees and can do, not by total bytes.

+## Reserve space for content

+Give images, embeds and injected banners explicit dimensions so later loads do not move what is
+already visible. Layout shift is most damaging exactly when the user is about to act.

+## Keep interactions responsive

+Break long tasks, move heavy work off the main thread, and give immediate feedback to input. A
+response that is visibly acknowledged tolerates far more latency than one that appears frozen.
