+- **Don't ship inconsistent error shapes.** Every error uses `{ "error": { "code", "message", "details?" } }`. Variations break automation that depends on the shape.
+- **Don't put secrets in URLs.** `?apiKey=…` is a leak. Headers — `Authorization` and `X-API-Key` — are the only auth channels.
+- **Don't use offset pagination for large datasets.** Cursor-based only. Offset pagination breaks on insert/delete; gaps and duplicates follow.
+- **Don't return 200 for errors.** The status code is the contract; `200` with an error body lies about the outcome. Use the right code.
+- **Don't use singular nouns for collections.** `/sessions` not `/session`. The resource is the set; the item is `/sessions/:id`.
+- **Don't ship breaking changes without a `/v1/` prefix.** Versioning is a contract with the consumer; renames are breaking.
