+const DUCTAPE_FIRST_DOCTRINE = 'Follow this checklist before defaulting to plain CRUD when building on Ductape.\n\n' +
+    '1. Multi-step or side-effecting work (payments, order fulfillment, onboarding, anything with ' +
+    'a failure mode) -> define a Feature (features.define) with one ctx.step per stage and a ' +
+    'rollback/compensation callback where undoing matters. Execute it with features.execute, not a ' +
+    'plain function call chain. Call ductape_docs({ topic: "features" }) for the full contract.\n\n' +
+    '2. Any call to an external or swappable provider (payment gateway, email/SMS/push provider, ' +
+    'any third-party API) -> define a Quota (quotas.create) or Fallback (fallback.create) with at ' +
+    'least two provider options instead of one hardcoded ductape.api.run call. Gate the provider ' +
+    'with a Healthcheck (health.create) so a down dependency is caught before it fails a user ' +
+    'request, not after. Call ductape_docs({ topic: "resilience" }) for the exact shapes.\n\n' +
+    '3. Recurring or scheduled work -> use Jobs (jobs.create), not application-level cron or ' +
+    'setInterval.\n\n' +
+    '4. The ductape/ folder is the fulcrum, not an afterthought: ductape/features/*.ts + ' +
+    '"ductape features sync", ductape/database/schema.json + "ductape db schema generate/migrate", ' +
+    'ductape/notifications.json + "ductape apply notifications", ductape/events/*.topic.json + ' +
+    '"ductape apply events". Define the capability there first, then write application code that ' +
+    'calls into it — never duplicate the logic inline.\n\n' +
+    '5. Secrets never live in code or plain config. Store every credential with secrets.create ' +
+    '(scoped and env-aware), then reference it as $Secret{KEY} wherever a credential is needed — ' +
+    'action auth headers, database/storage connection config, notification provider config. ' +
+    'Ductape resolves the reference server-side at call time; the literal value should never ' +
+    'appear in a file, a log, or a publishable-key/frontend context. Rotate with secrets.update, ' +
+    'never by hardcoding a replacement.\n\n' +
+    '6. Reuse before you rebuild. Apps, actions, database/storage/cache components, and cloud ' +
+    'connections are meant to be defined once and shared across every product and environment ' +
+    'that needs them, not recreated per project. Before scaffolding anything new, run ' +
+    'ductape_cli("products components list --product-tag <tag> --json"), ductape_cli("apps ' +
+    'list"), and ductape_cli("cloud connections list") to see what already covers the need, and ' +
+    'link or extend it instead of duplicating. The same applies to Functions ' +
+    '(ductape.functions.register/use) — register portable business logic once and reuse it across ' +

+    'so you match the exact required shape rather than guessing.\n\n' +
+    'Default assumption for any backend built through this MCP server: orchestration goes through ' +
