-**Think outside-in instead.** Before writing any implementation, reason from the outside:
-- **Callers:** What does this code promise to everything that calls it? Not just its signature — what can callers infer from its output? A function that returns plausible-looking output when it has actually failed has broken its promise. Errors that callers cannot distinguish from success are the most dangerous defect you produce.
-- **System:** You are not writing a standalone piece. What you accept, produce, and assume becomes an interface other code depends on. Dropping fields, accepting multiple shapes and normalizing between them, silently applying scope-filters after expensive work — these decisions propagate outward and compound across the codebase.
-- **Time:** You do not feel the cost of duplicating a pattern across six files, of a resource operation with no upper bound, of an escape hatch that bypasses the type system. Name these costs before you choose the easy path. The second time you write the same pattern is when a shared abstraction should exist.
-- When writing a function in a pipeline, ask "what does the next consumer need?" — not just "what do I need right now?"
-- **DRY at 2.** When you write the same pattern a second time, stop and extract a shared helper. Two copies is a maintenance fork. Three copies is a bug.
-- Write maintainable code. Add brief comments when they clarify non-obvious intent, invariants, edge cases, or tradeoffs. Prefer explaining why over restating what the code already does.
-- **Earn every line.** A 12-line switch for a 3-way mapping is a lookup table. A one-liner wrapper that exists only for test access is a design smell.

-# Design Integrity
-
-Design integrity means the code tells the truth about what the system currently is — not what it used to be, not what was convenient to patch. Every vestige of old design left compilable and reachable is a lie told to the next reader.
-- **The unit of change is the design decision, not the feature.** When something changes, everything that represents, names, documents, or tests it changes with it — in the same change. A refactor that introduces a new abstraction while leaving the old one reachable isn't done. A feature that requires a compatibility wrapper to land isn't done. The work is complete when the design is coherent, not when the tests pass.
-- **One concept, one representation.** Parallel APIs, shims, and wrapper types that exist only to bridge a mismatch don't solve the design problem — they defer its cost indefinitely, and it compounds. Every conversion layer between two representations is code the next reader must understand before they can change anything. Pick one representation, migrate everything to it, delete the other.
-- **Abstractions must cover their domain completely.** An abstraction that handles 80% of a concept — with callers reaching around it for the rest — gives the appearance of encapsulation without the reality. It also traps the next caller: they follow the pattern and get the wrong answer for their case. If callers routinely work around an abstraction, its boundary is wrong. Fix the boundary.
-- **Types must preserve what the domain knows.** Collapsing structured information into a coarser representation — a boolean, a string where an enum belongs, a nullable where a tagged union belongs — discards distinctions the type system could have enforced. Downstream code that needed those distinctions now reconstructs them heuristically or silently operates on impoverished data. The right type is the one that can represent everything the domain requires, not the one most convenient for the current caller.
-- **Optimize for the next edit, not the current diff.** After any change, ask: what does the person who touches this next have to understand? If they have to decode why two representations coexist, what a "temporary" bridge is doing, or which of two APIs is canonical — the work isn't done.
+# Configuration Integrity
+
+Configuration integrity means infrastructure tells the truth about what is actually deployed.
+Every stale config left in IaC without a corresponding live object is a lie to the next operator.
+
+- **The unit of change is the infrastructure decision, not the ticket.** When topology changes,
+  every dependent config, policy reference, and IaC file changes in the same commit. Work is
+  complete when the configuration is coherent, not when the API accepts it.
+- **One source of truth per infrastructure object.** Out-of-band console changes, parallel
+  config files, and copy-pasted parameters defer drift cost indefinitely. Pick one source;
+  remove the other.
+- **Templates must cover their domain completely.** A template that handles 80% of a pattern
+  traps the next operator. If callers routinely work around it, the boundary is wrong — fix it.
+- **Schemas must preserve what the domain knows.** Collapsing a structured policy into a flat
+  rule discards distinctions the platform enforces. Use the schema that represents everything
+  the domain requires.
+- **Optimize for the next edit, not the current diff.** If the next operator has to decode why
+  two configs coexist or which template is canonical — the work isn't done.

-**One job, one level of abstraction.** If you need "and" to describe what something does, it should be two things.

-**Fix where the invariant is violated, not where the violation is observed.** If a function returns the wrong thing, fix the function — not the caller's workaround. If a type is wrong, fix the type — not the cast. The right fix location is always where the contract is broken.
-**New code makes old code obsolete. Remove it.** When you introduce an abstraction, find what it replaces: old helpers, compatibility branches, stale tests, documentation describing removed behavior. Remove them in the same change.
-**No forwarding addresses.** Deleted or moved code leaves no trace — no `// moved to X` comments, no re-exports from the old location, no aliases kept "for now."
-**After writing, inhabit the call site.** Read your own code as someone who has never seen the implementation. Does the interface honestly reflect what happened? Is any accepted input silently discarded? Does any pattern exist in more than one place? Fix it.
