+# Local engineering decisions
+
+Locate the actual role, toolchain and existing conventions, then read relevant [shared principles](common/engineering-practices.md). These conditions apply to this entry, not every project. Structure checks do not prove all semantics or execution.
+
+<a id="cc-rust-async:cancellation"></a>
+## A dropped waiter is not a stopped operation
+
+Level: conditional
+
+### Risk
+A timeout may detach owned work or leave a partially written stream.
+
+### Applies
+For actual async work and the project’s installed runtime; safe synchronous code does not require Tokio.
+
+### Decision
+Name the spawn/cancel/join owner, keep handles, bound admission and read the operation’s cancellation-safety contract. Stop admission before drain/cancel and observe completion before freeing dependencies.
+
+### Exceptions
+Tokio handle drop detaches; abort is a request and running blocking work may not be stoppable. Preserve partial progress and report incomplete shutdown instead of pretending rollback.
+
+### Examples
+Better: await owned task termination and expose partial-write state. Worse: Arc plus a timeout is assumed to make detached work safe.
+
+### Verification
+Use controlled futures/events and short-write failure injection in the actual runtime. The safe Result and Go examples are related evidence, not a Rust-async execution claim.
+
+### Sources
+tokio-join, rust-api — [registry and limits](common/engineering-practices.sources.json).

+
+<a id="cc-rust-async:guard-lifetime"></a>
+## Keep critical sections and blocking work bounded
+
+Level: recommended
+
+### Risk
+A blocking guard across suspension can block progress or hide lock-order deadlocks.
+
+### Applies
+When a future owns locks, blocking clients or queue slots; inspect concrete guard/operation types first.
+
+### Decision
+Reduce the guarded scope, copy necessary owned state, then await outside the critical section where the contract permits. Put unavoidable blocking work behind the existing bounded runtime boundary.
+
+### Exceptions
+Do not replace every mutex with an async mutex blindly. If retaining a guard across await is intentional, prove scheduling/dependency assumptions and test contention.
+
+### Examples
+Better: release a short metadata lock before waiting for I/O. Worse: hold it while awaiting another task that needs the same lock.
+
+### Verification
+Use deterministic contention/close tests and measured scheduling evidence. No new runtime, edition or MSRV is authorized by this advice.

+# Rust async lifecycle
+
+## Specialist checks
+
+1. Identify runtime/version and every suspension point, resource owner and cancellation boundary. Check the actual future documentation before assuming cancellation safety.
+
+2. Separate cancelling a waiter from stopping an operation. A timed-out write may already have changed the stream; specify recovery for partial progress.
+
+3. Own spawned task handles, bound queue and in-flight work, and propagate errors. Detached unbounded work is not a shutdown strategy.
+
+4. Move unavoidable blocking work to an appropriate bounded boundary; check that cancellation also respects the underlying operation lifetime.
+
+5. Stop accepting work before draining/cancelling owned tasks; define deadlines and cleanup completion. Avoid assuming select provides business idempotency.
+
+6. Use controllable scheduling, short writes, cancellation and backpressure tests. Report which runtime/error paths actually ran.
+
+<a id="scope"></a>
+## Scope and examples
+
+Use for:
+- Fix partial writes cancelled by Tokio select
+- Bound spawned Rust tasks and own JoinHandle cleanup
+- Design Rust async shutdown and cancellation
+- Keep blocking I/O outside async executor paths
+
+Use the project standard for crate layout; only apply Tokio-specific behavior when Tokio and its actual version are present.
+
+## Evidence to deliver
+
+- Repository/contract evidence and the exact affected scope.
+- Chosen approach, invariants, resource/error or failure boundaries.

+description: "Use when Rust crate or workspace structure, module boundaries, ownership-facing APIs, Result conventions, Cargo dependencies or engineering checks need design or review."
+---
+
+# Rust project engineering
+
+Apply to libraries, CLI tools, desktop cores and services. Determine the application role from the actual project; a frontend/backend product name does not constrain the language.
+
+Read Cargo.toml, workspace membership, edition, MSRV and existing aliases before proposing modules or dependencies. Work in the owning crate rather than upgrading the entire workspace.
+
+## Apply the workflow
+
+1. Locate the actual project, task boundary and existing contracts; load only the language and domain material needed now.
+2. Apply the [specialist checks](references/practice.md), establishing the input evidence before selecting the smallest change.
+3. Verify affected behavior with existing repository tools. Explicitly report missing tools, environments or execution; a plan is not a passing result.
+4. Deliver scope, specialist decisions, actual verification and remaining risk. A review-only task stays read-only.
+
+## Task boundary
+
+Existing Tokio cancellation or scheduling defects belong to the async specialty; unrelated frontend structure is outside this scope.
+
+## Engineering practices
+
+Read the [local engineering decisions](references/engineering-practices.md) for this task and follow their links to relevant shared principles. Apply levels and exceptions against actual project contracts; product frontend/backend labels do not constrain language or role.

+# Result and resource boundary — EP-RS-01
+
+Copy this directory to a writable location. With an already installed supported Rust toolchain run `cargo test --offline --locked --no-run` first. Then run `cargo test --offline --locked` with `CRAFT_ENGINEERING_DEFECTIVE=1`: `failure_releases_and_preserves_cause` must fail at the release-count assertion. Run with `=0` (the default) and both tests must pass. PowerShell: assign `$env:CRAFT_ENGINEERING_DEFECTIVE='1'` or `'0'` before the same command.
+
+No external crates or parent source are needed. The deliberate `forget` branch demonstrates a failure-path leak; it is inactive by default. The observed cause is the real wrapped I/O error and Drop changes the caller-owned counter. This proves the sample's Result/RAII behavior, not async cancellation, unsafe/FFI soundness or GUI operation. Keep `target` and logs in the writable copy or set `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` there. The declared MSRV is checked separately; do not infer minimum-version validation from a newer toolchain run.
