 9. **SELF-REVIEW.** For each acceptance criterion, cite the test that covers it AND evidence it passes (file, line, command output). No "should work" or "probably".

+## IMPORTANT: Resource management
+- **NEVER run the full test suite repeatedly.** Run targeted tests during development (e.g., `npx vitest run path/to/test.ts`). Only run the full suite ONCE as a final check before committing.
+- **Always use `npx vitest run`** (not `npx vitest` without `run`) — watch mode will hang forever.
 10. Commit with a descriptive message.
 11. Update .kai/stories.json: set `passes` to `true`.
 12. Append to .kai/progress.txt.
