 **Expected evidence:** a confirmed affected Flutter project, a scoped route, platform-appropriate tests, measured performance or accessibility checks when relevant, and honest `NOT_VERIFIED` reporting for unavailable Flutter tooling.
 
+### `dotnet` — .NET and ASP.NET Core development engineering
+
+**Activate when:** a confirmed project root has a structurally parsed SDK-style `*.csproj`, `*.fsproj`, or `*.vbproj` using one of the supported SDKs below, and the task scope intersects that root:
+
+- `Microsoft.NET.Sdk`, `Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web`, `Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Worker`,
+  `Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor`, or `Microsoft.NET.Sdk.BlazorWebAssembly`;
+- `Aspire.AppHost.Sdk` or `MSTest.Sdk`;
+- the equivalent `<Sdk Name="..." />` declaration in the project XML.
+
+Web, Razor, or Blazor SDKs, or `FrameworkReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App"`, confirm ASP.NET Core context. A `Volo.Abp.*` package reference adds the ABP overlay while retaining the single `dotnet` guide ID.
+
+**Do not activate merely because:** prose, Markdown, source snippets, a Dockerfile, a lockfile, an arbitrary directory name, a package cache, or an unrelated monorepo project mentions .NET, ASP.NET Core, or ABP. A malformed, oversized, non-SDK-style, or unsupported project file fails closed. Shared `Directory.Build.*`, `Directory.Packages.props`, `global.json`, and NuGet files apply only to descendant .NET projects in their directory scope; `.sln`/`.slnx` claims use exact solution membership.
+
+**Usually combine with:** `clean` and `test`; add `security` for trust-boundary or dependency changes, `performance` for measured cost or critical paths, `documentation` for technical documentation, and the UI guides for Razor/Blazor or other user-facing changes.
+
+The route command obtains this evidence from `src/core/project-detection.js`. It walks bounded, non-symlinked project manifests, parses direct XML SDK/target/reference structure without evaluating the full MSBuild graph, and matches task claims against project roots, shared configuration scope, or exact solution membership. ASP.NET Core and ABP are routing reasons on the specialist guide, not additional guide IDs.
+
+Project discovery is fail-closed and bounded by default: at most 256 project
+manifests, 64 solution files, 1 MiB per manifest, 256 supporting source files
+with 512 KiB per source file, 4,096 visited directories, and 20,000 visited
+entries. Symlinks and common generated/vendor directories are skipped. When a
+budget is exhausted, the detector does not claim reliable project evidence.
+These limits bound discovery work; they do not cap task ownership discovery.
+
+The .NET routing reasons are `PROJECT_DOTNET_SDK_PROJECT`,
+`PROJECT_DOTNET_BASELINE`, `PROJECT_ASPNETCORE_CONFIRMED`, and
+`PROJECT_ABP_CONFIRMED`. The corresponding exclusions are
+`NO_DOTNET_PROJECT_EVIDENCE`, `NO_DOTNET_SCOPE_MATCH`,
+`NO_DOTNET_PRIMARY_EVIDENCE`, and `NO_DOTNET_EXECUTABLE_WORK`. The route
+validator also requires `aspnetcore` and `abp` project-evidence overlays to be
+accompanied by `dotnet`; it rejects standalone overlays rather than creating a
+second specialist guide.
+
+```bash
+rg -n '^## |architecture|dependency injection|middleware|endpoints|configuration|authentication|authorization|EF Core|testing|WebApplicationFactory|workers|Blazor|ABP|publish|troubleshooting' ENG/dotnet-aspnetcore-development-eng.md
+```
+
+**Expected evidence:** a confirmed affected .NET project, a scoped route, compatible SDK/runtime decisions, focused and integration checks for changed boundaries, and honest `NOT_VERIFIED` reporting for unavailable .NET tooling or runtime environments.
+
+### `nodejs` — Node.js backend development engineering
+
+**Activate when:** a confirmed project root has a valid `package.json` with an
+allowlisted runtime backend dependency (`express`, `fastify`, `@nestjs/core`,
+`koa`, or `@hapi/hapi`), a direct `node`/`node.exe` runtime script, or bounded
+source evidence importing or re-exporting a Node server/network built-in such
+as `node:http`, `node:https`, `node:http2`, `node:net`, `node:tls`, or `node:dgram`
+from a plausible runtime application surface, and the task scope intersects
+that root.
+
+**Do not activate merely because:** a `package.json`, `engines.node`, `type`,
+`packageManager`, lockfile, `.nvmrc`, `.node-version`, `@types/node`,
+TypeScript, `tsx`, Dockerfile, CI setup, frontend dependency, Next-only
+dependency, prose mention, or development-only framework dependency exists.
+Malformed or oversized manifests fail closed. The detector never executes
+scripts or source code, follows symlinks, installs packages, or accesses the
+network.
+
+**Usually combine with:** `clean` and `test`; add `security` for input,
+authentication, authorization, dependency, secret, external-service, or
+publication risks; add `performance` for measured latency, throughput,
+memory, event-loop, queue, or database work; add `documentation` when the API,
+configuration, or operational contract changes.
+
+The route command obtains this evidence from
+`src/core/project-detection.js`. It walks bounded, non-symlinked manifests and
+source files, isolates nested project roots across Flutter, .NET, Node.js, and
+Rust,
+recognizes workspace-root and shared lockfile scope, and preserves
+`projectEvidence.schemaVersion: 1`. Node source evidence ignores comments,
+template text, `import type`/`export type`, inline type-only specifiers,
+declaration files, tooling/configuration filenames, and non-runtime directories
+such as tests, fixtures, examples, docs, build output, scripts, tools, codegen,
+and package caches. A mixed declaration counts only when a runtime value
+specifier is safely recognized; unsupported complex declarations fail closed.
+Runtime re-exports with a value specifier are included because the specialist
+covers Node.js server/runtime library surfaces as well as services and workers.
+Node.js execution used only for build, test, or configuration tooling is not
+sufficient backend/runtime evidence. Mixed Flutter/.NET/Node repositories
+retain each confirmed framework; claims and shared files stop at the same
+nested ownership boundaries. A claim that does not reach a confirmed Node
+project produces `NO_NODEJS_SCOPE_MATCH` or leaves the specialist excluded.
+
+```bash
+rg -n '^## |activation|runtime|architecture|Express|Fastify|NestJS|security|testing|performance|deployment|Definition of Done' ENG/nodejs-backend-development-eng.md
+```
+
+**Expected evidence:** a confirmed affected Node project, a scoped route,
+validated inputs and configuration, bounded trust and resource controls,
+focused plus integration/adversarial checks, observable failure and shutdown
+behavior, and honest `NOT_VERIFIED` reporting for unavailable Node tooling.
+
+### `c` — C development engineering
+
+Activate for explicit C language declarations in CMake or Meson, a native
+Bazel rule with owned .c source, or a direct claim to owned .c source. Headers,
+Makefiles, compiler images, flags, generated trees, and prose are not enough.
+C and C++ may compose at one root. Detection is bounded and static; it never
+runs native build tools, compilers, linkers, generators, or tests. Repository
+flags, compiler mode, ABI, C library, and platform contracts decide the
+effective C standard; C23 is only the current published reference.
+
+Expected evidence is a confirmed affected root, scoped ownership, explicit
+memory/resource contracts, failure-path tests, and separately recorded
+toolchain checks. See ENG/c-development-eng.md for the specialist contract.
+
+### `cpp` — C++ development engineering
+
+Activate for explicit C++ language declarations in CMake or Meson, a native
+Bazel rule with owned .cc, .cpp, .cxx, or .c++ source, or a direct claim to
+owned C++ source. Headers remain ambiguous without explicit build context.
+Makefiles, compiler versions, flags, generated trees, and vendored code do not
+establish C++ identity. The detector never executes native build logic.
+
+C++23 is the published baseline reference; compiler support for C++26 is not
+permission to change the repository standard or ABI. See
+ENG/cpp-development-eng.md for ownership, RAII, ABI, concurrency, and testing
+guidance.
+
+### `java` — Java development engineering
+
+Activate for owned Java source with structural Maven, Gradle, or Bazel
+evidence, an unambiguous Java compiler/platform declaration, or a direct .java
+claim. A POM, Gradle wrapper/settings, generic aggregator, JDK image, or
+setup-java CI step alone is not an application; explicit recognized Java
+plugins/rules are structural evidence, including `java-gradle-plugin`. Gradle
+topology uses only unconditional top-level literal includes; conditional,
+interpolated, or executable expressions remain unresolved. Unsafe XML
+DTD/entity constructs fail closed; Maven, Gradle, Bazel, plugins, annotation
+processors, tests, and Java code are never executed.
+
+Keep source level, release/target, build JDK, runtime JDK, preview features,
+framework minimums, and vendor distribution separate. Repository configuration
+wins over current JDK availability. See ENG/java-development-eng.md.
+
+### `sql` — SQL development engineering
+
+Activate as an overlay for a directly claimed meaningful SQL artifact or a
+bounded statement in an owned db, database, migration, migrations, schema, or
+sql directory. SQL composes with its host language specialist and dialect is
+not a public framework value. Comments, strings, prose, drivers, connection
+strings, empty files, generated/vendor content, and database images are not
+evidence.
+
+The detector masks lexical noise and never connects to a database, executes
+queries, applies migrations, reads credentials, or introspects schemas. Single-
+quoted string values are masked, while double-quoted, backtick-quoted, and
+bracket-quoted identifiers are preserved as internal neutral identifier tokens
+for structural matching. It recognizes bounded statement families only when
+structural tokens are present, and common CTE shapes, without claiming full
+dialect parsing; PostgreSQL JSON operators such as `#>` and `#>>` remain SQL
+tokens, not comments. ISO/IEC
+9075:2023 is a portability reference; the actual engine and version govern
+dialect behavior. See
+ENG/sql-development-eng.md.
+
+### `go` — Go development engineering
+
+Activate for a valid bounded go.mod module or a go.work connected to known
+repository-local modules. A go.work without a usable module, .go source alone,
+go.sum, vendor metadata, Docker image, or setup-go CI step is insufficient.
+The go minimum-version and toolchain directives remain distinct. Detection
+resolves only known manifests and never runs Go, downloads modules, evaluates
+build tags, or executes generators. `ignore` directives in `go.mod` are
+retained as module metadata (including single and block forms); they do not
+change project identity, and `go.work` does not accept them. See
+ENG/go-development-eng.md.
+
+### `typescript` — TypeScript development engineering
+
+Activate for a valid bounded JSONC tsconfig.json. A custom tsconfig.*.json is
+primary only when directly claimed or referenced by a confirmed config.
+jsconfig.json, .ts snippets, declaration files, compiler dependencies, and CI
+compiler setup are not TypeScript project identity. `extends` may be a string
+or array; local shared configs route claims to their consuming configs and do
+not become independent roots merely because they are named as bases. Local
+references are checked only against discovered configs; the compiler and
+config files are never executed.
+
+TypeScript is runtime-neutral, so a co-located Node package may select both
+typescript and nodejs. See ENG/typescript-development-eng.md.
+
+### `php` — PHP development engineering
+
+Activate for a valid bounded composer.json with package/require/autoload
+identity or a direct claim to executable PHP source. Composer lockfiles,
+vendor, PHP version strings, Docker/CI setup, static HTML, and README examples
+are not enough. Composer scripts/plugins, PHP, autoload generation, and
+network resolution are never run. PHP extension roots may compose with C.
+strict_types remains a per-file call-site rule. See ENG/php-development-eng.md.
+
+### `swift` — Swift development engineering
+
+Activate for a valid Package.swift tools-version/PackageDescription/Package
+structure with Swift target evidence, explicit Swift in CMake/Meson, bounded
+Xcode Swift markers, or a direct .swift claim. A direct Package.swift claim
+also selects Swift guidance for a native-only package manifest. Package.resolved,
+vendor/generated source, Docker/CI setup, and package execution are not
+evidence. Invalid Package.swift files contribute no SwiftPM-derived C/C++
+composition. SwiftPM may compose Swift with C or C++ at one root. Swift
+`mobile-ui` work remains executable Swift work. Swift 6.3 is the stable
+reference snapshot; beta documentation is not an automatic target.
+See ENG/swift-development-eng.md.
+
+### `rust` — Rust development engineering
+
+**Activate when:** a confirmed project root has a bounded, structurally parsed
+`Cargo.toml` with a valid `[package]` and/or `[workspace]` table, and the task
+scope intersects that root. A package workspace and a virtual workspace are
+both valid when the virtual workspace has at least one resolvable package
+member; an empty or unresolved virtual workspace fails closed. A virtual
+workspace contributes its confirmed package members as public project roots. A
+package workspace may contain both tables, but `package.workspace` is mutually
+exclusive with `[workspace]` and associates a package with another workspace.
+
+**Do not activate merely because:** a `.rs` file, `Cargo.lock`,
+`rust-toolchain`/`rust-toolchain.toml`, `.cargo/config.toml`, rustfmt or Clippy
+configuration, a Tokio/Axum/Actix/other dependency name, a Dockerfile, CI
+toolchain setup, or repository prose exists. `target/` and `vendor/` are
+ignored. Build scripts, proc-macro crates, generated code, and native tooling
+remain runtime/build context rather than a replacement for Cargo identity.
+
+Cargo inheritance such as `package.edition.workspace = true` and
+`package.rust-version.workspace = true` is accepted as package metadata;
+`[workspace.package]` may enrich supporting signals. Workspace membership uses
+only known discovered manifests and bounded `members`/`exclude` patterns: `*`
+and `?` stay within one path segment, `**` may cross segments, and absolute or
+parent-directory escape paths are rejected. Local package `path` dependencies
+and explicitly used inherited workspace dependencies can associate a known
+package with a workspace, while `[workspace.dependencies]` declarations alone
+do not create active dependency edges. A valid `package.workspace` association
+may point to a known workspace outside the package's directory subtree, but not
+outside the repository; no additional traversal is triggered.
+
+**Usually combine with:** `clean` and `test`; add `security` for unsafe/FFI,
+untrusted input, secrets, dependencies, external services, or publication;
+add `performance` for measured CPU, memory, latency, allocation, executor,
+queue, or I/O work; add `documentation` when public APIs, configuration, or
+operational contracts change.
+
+The route command obtains this evidence from
+`src/core/project-detection.js` and the conservative TOML recognizer in
+`src/core/rust-project.js`. It performs bounded, non-symlinked discovery and
+manifest reads, never runs Cargo or source code, and treats `Cargo.toml` as
+primary evidence while edition, MSRV, resolver, features, dependencies,
+lockfiles, toolchains, and configuration are supporting signals. Explicit
+workspace members/excludes, nested workspaces, and confirmed Flutter, .NET,
+Node.js, and Rust roots constrain claims and shared-file ownership. `Cargo.lock`
+and configuration files apply only to their owning package/workspace scope; a
+parent cannot absorb a child's shared file merely because its path is a
+descendant.
+
+Rust has no Node-style LTS channel. Keep active toolchain, MSRV
+(`package.rust-version`), edition, and compilation target separate, and use
+version-matched official Rust and Cargo documentation. Current stable is a
+dated observation, not a universal migration target.
+
+```bash
+rg -n '^## |Cargo|toolchain|MSRV|edition|ownership|async|unsafe|FFI|security|testing|release|Definition of Done' ENG/rust-development-eng.md
+```
+
+**Expected evidence:** a confirmed affected Cargo package or workspace, a
+scoped route, compatible toolchain/MSRV/edition/target decisions, focused plus
+workspace checks, explicit resource and trust controls, and honest
+`NOT_VERIFIED` reporting for unavailable Rust targets or toolchains.
