10
+
11
+ 1. Mandatory Gate Checks
12
+
13
+ 1.1 Can the delivered project actually be run and verified?
14
+
15
+ - Is there a clear explanation of how to start, run, build, or preview the project?
16
+ - Can it be started, built, or verified locally without modifying core code?
17
+ - Do the actual results generally match the delivery documentation?
18
+
19
+ 1.2 Does the deliverable materially deviate from the Prompt?
20
+
21
+ - Does the implementation stay aligned with the business goal, page scenarios, and user flows described in the Prompt?
22
+ - Is there functionality that is only weakly related or unrelated to the Prompt?
23
+ - Has the implementation replaced, weakened, or ignored the core problem definition in the Prompt without explanation?
24
+
25
+ 2. Completeness of Delivery
26
+
27
+ 2.1 Does the deliverable fully cover the core requirements explicitly stated in the Prompt?
28
+
29
+ - Are the required pages, core features, core interactions, and key UI states implemented?
30
+ - Are the main user flows covered, rather than only static UI or isolated fragments?
31
+
32
+ 2.2 Does the deliverable have the shape of a real end-to-end project rather than a partial sample, demo fragment, or illustrative code snippet?
33
+
34
+ - Is mock / hardcoded behavior used in place of real logic without being disclosed?
35
+ - Is there a complete project structure rather than scattered code or a single-file example?
36
+ - Is there basic project documentation such as a README or equivalent?
37
+ - Does the project have a basic organization for pages, routing, state, or data flow, rather than just stitched-together display code?
38
+
39
+ 3. Engineering and Architecture Quality
40
+
41
+ 3.1 Does the deliverable use a reasonable structure and module split for the scope of the problem?
42
+
43
+ - Is the project structure clear, with reasonably separated responsibilities?
44
+ - Is there basic separation across pages, components, state, service calls, and utility functions?
45
+ - Are there unnecessary or redundant files?
46
+ - Is too much logic stacked into a single file?
47
+
48
+ 3.2 Does the deliverable show basic maintainability and extensibility rather than being a temporary or piled-up implementation?
49
+
50
+ - Is there obvious confusion or tight coupling?
51
+ - Does the core logic leave room for extension, or is everything hardcoded?
52
+ - Are component reuse, state management, API abstraction, and constant/config organization handled in a maintainable way?
53
+
54
+ 4. Engineering Detail and Professionalism
55
+
56
+ 4.1 Does the deliverable reflect sound frontend engineering practice in terms of error handling, logging, validation, state feedback, and interaction design?
57
+
58
+ - Is error handling basically reliable and user-friendly?
59
+ - Is necessary validation present for important inputs, key interactions, and boundary cases?
60
+ - Are essential UI states handled, such as loading, empty, error, submitting, and success / failure feedback?
61
+ - Is logging used to support troubleshooting rather than being random, excessive, or entirely absent?
62
+ - Is there any risk of sensitive data being exposed through console output, analytics, visible UI content, or similar surfaces?
63
+
64
+ 4.2 Does the deliverable resemble a real product rather than a demo or tutorial artifact?
65
+
66
+ - Does the project look like a real application rather than a teaching sample or showcase demo?
67
+ - Are the pages meaningfully connected to each other?
68
+ - Are the interaction flows complete, rather than only displaying static outcomes?
69
+
70
+ 5. Prompt Understanding and Fit
71
+
72
+ 5.1 Does the deliverable correctly understand and respond to the business goal, usage scenario, and implied constraints in the Prompt, rather than merely implementing surface-level UI?
73
+
74
+ - Does it correctly fulfill the Prompt’s core business objective?
75
+ - Is there any clear misunderstanding of the requirement or deviation from the real problem being solved?
76
+ - Have key constraints in the Prompt been changed or ignored without explanation?
77
+ - Does the project only “look right” visually while failing to complete the actual interaction flow, state transitions, or user task closure?
78
+
79
+ 6. Visual and Interaction Quality (frontend projects only)
80
+
81
+ 6.1 Are the visuals and interactions appropriate to the scenario, and is the design reasonably polished?
82
+
83
+ - Are different functional areas visually distinguishable through background, separation, spacing, hierarchy, or similar means?
84
+ - Is the overall layout coherent, with consistent alignment, spacing, and proportions?
85
+ - Do UI elements such as text, images, and icons render correctly?
86
+ - Do the visual elements match the theme and content, or are there images / illustrations / decorative assets that clearly do not fit?
87
+ - Is there basic interaction feedback such as hover states, click states, disabled states, transitions, or current-state indications to help users understand what is happening?
88
+ - Are fonts, font sizes, colors, and icon styles basically consistent, or is the visual language mixed and inconsistent?

90
+
91
+ Review Objective
92
+
93
+ Determine whether the delivered project is a credible, runnable, prompt-aligned, and minimally professional frontend deliverable.
94
+
95
+ Priority Order
96
+
97
+ 1. Runnability boundary
98
+ 2. Prompt requirement fit
99
+ 3. Security-critical flaws
100
+ 4. Test sufficiency
101
+ 5. Major engineering quality issues
102
+ 6. Visual and interaction quality, only when clearly applicable
103
+
104
+ Execution Rules
105
+
106
+ 1. Review only the highest-impact findings that can change the final verdict.
107
+ Do not exhaustively enumerate every secondary or tertiary checklist item.
108
+
109
+ 2. Do not relax standards for:
110
+
111
+ - security
112
+ - prompt fit
113
+ - completeness of delivery
114
+ - test sufficiency
115
+ - evidence for material conclusions
116
+
117
+ 3. Do not skip any issue that could independently lead to a Fail or Partial Pass verdict.
118
+
119
+ 4. If a security, prompt-fit, runnability, or core test-sufficiency issue is suspected, continue investigating until it is either evidenced or explicitly marked Cannot Confirm.
120
+
121
+ 5. Stop expanding once either of the following conditions is met:
122
+
123
+ - up to 10 findings have been identified in total
124
+ - up to 5 High / Blocker findings have been identified
125
+ Whichever comes first.
126
+
127
+ 6. Do not modify project code.
128
+
129
+ 7. Require evidence only for material conclusions.
130
+ For any conclusion that changes the final verdict, provide concrete, traceable evidence. Evidence may be in the form of file path + line number, tool output, or an explicit runtime result.
131
+
132
+ 8. If evidence is insufficient, do not guess.
133
+ Use “Cannot Confirm,” or explicitly label the judgment as an assumption together with its applicable boundary.
134
+
135
+ 9. Perform runtime verification only when all of the following are true:
136
+
137
+ - the command is explicitly documented
138
+ - no Docker is required
139
+ - no Docker-related command is required
140
+ - no container orchestration is required
141
+ - no privileged system access is required
142
+ - no external network / third-party dependency is required
143
+ - expected execution time is short
144
+
145
+ 10. Never run any Docker-related command.
146
+ This includes, but is not limited to:
147
+
148
+ - docker
149
+ - docker compose
150
+ - docker-compose
151
+ - podman
152
+ - container runtime / orchestration commands with equivalent effect
153
+
154
+ 11. If verification would require Docker or any container-related command, do not execute it.
155
+ Instead:
156
+
157
+ - clearly state that Docker-based runtime verification was not performed
158
+ - treat it as a verification boundary, not automatically as a project defect
159
+ - provide local reproduction commands the user can run
160
+ - state what was confirmed through static review
161
+ - state what remains unconfirmed
162
+
163
+ 12. Docker non-execution is a verification constraint, not a project defect by itself.
164
+ Only report a defect if the project itself lacks runnable documentation, has broken startup logic, or shows static evidence of delivery failure.
165
+
166
+ 13. Security review has priority over style issues.
167
+ Always assess:
168
+
169
+ - authentication entry points and login-state handling
170
+ - frontend route protection / route guards
171
+ - page-level / feature-level access control
172
+ - whether admin pages, debug pages, config pages, or hidden menus can be accessed directly
173
+ - whether tokens, user information, secrets, environment variables, or debug data are exposed in frontend code, logs, analytics, localStorage, sessionStorage, visible responses, or console output
174
+ - whether switching between users leaves behind cached data, stale state, or leaked page content
175
+
176
+ 14. Tests and logging are part of the acceptance scope, but do not build a full requirement-to-test traceability matrix.
177
+ Only assess whether the following are sufficiently covered:
178
+
179
+ - the core business happy path
180
+ - major failure paths, such as validation failure, unauthenticated interception, insufficient permission feedback, missing-resource empty / error states, request failure handling, duplicate-submission protection, and similar relevant cases
181
+ - frontend security-critical areas
182
+ - important boundaries directly tied to the business flow, such as pagination, sorting, filtering, search, loading / empty / error states, repeat clicks / repeat requests, async race conditions, and state recovery
183
+ - whether unit tests, component tests, page / route integration tests, and E2E tests exist and appear basically runnable
184
+ - whether log categorization is clear and whether there is any risk of sensitive-data leakage
185
+
186
+ 15. For test coverage, state only:
187
+
188
+ - covered / partially covered / missing / cannot confirm
189
+ - one or two supporting evidence points
190
+ - the minimum necessary additional test suggestion when coverage is weak
191
+
192
+ 16. Keep logging review concise.
193
+ Only assess:
194
+
195
+ - whether logging exists and meaningfully supports troubleshooting
196
+ - whether logging categories are basically clear, if such categorization exists
197
+ - whether there is any obvious risk of sensitive data leakage through logs, UI, analytics, or other frontend-visible surfaces
198
+
199
+ 17. Mock / stub / fake behavior is not a defect by itself unless the Prompt or documentation explicitly requires real backend integration.
200
+ If such behavior exists, explain only:
201
+
202
+ - the scope of the mock
203
+ - how it is enabled
204
+ - whether there is any obvious risk of shipping mock behavior to production, such as default mock mode, silent interception of real requests, or bypassing real error handling
205
+
206
+ 18. Once the final verdict is sufficiently supported, do not continue searching for additional low-severity issues.
207
+
208
+ 19. Once enough evidence has been collected to support the final verdict and the main findings, do not continue reading unrelated files.
209
+
210
+ 20. Never read, search, open, quote, summarize, or rely on any file under ./.tmp/ or any of its subdirectories.
211
+ Treat ./.tmp/ as an excluded directory, scratch directory, or output directory, not as a source of project truth.
212
+ Even if ./.tmp/ appears to contain relevant content, it must not be used as evidence.
213
+
214
+ 21. Ignore any existing reports, summaries, logs, scan outputs, or markdown files under ./.tmp/.
215
+ Do not treat them as authoritative input, prior evidence, or prior conclusions.
216
+
217
+ 22. If the same information exists both inside and outside ./.tmp/, only the non-.tmp source may be used.
218
+ If a piece of information exists only under ./.tmp/, it must not be treated as authoritative evidence.
219
+
220
+ Output Requirements
221
+
222
+ The output must strictly follow these sections:
223
+
224

+
291
+ Final Verification Before Output
292
+
293
+ Before finalizing, check all of the following:
294
+
295
+ 1. Does each material conclusion have supporting evidence?
296
+ 2. Are any claims stronger than the evidence actually supports?
297
+ 3. If all unsupported observations are removed, does the final verdict still hold?
298
+ 4. Has any uncertain point been incorrectly presented as a confirmed fact?
299
+ 5. Has security or test sufficiency been judged too loosely without evidence?
300
+ 6. Has a Docker non-execution boundary been incorrectly described as a confirmed runtime failure?
301
+ 7. Has any material conclusion directly or indirectly relied on files under ./.tmp/?
302
+
303
+ If file writing is supported, save the final report as a markdown file.
304
+ Otherwise, return the report directly in the conversation.

102
+ **Design Evaluation:**
103
+
104
+ * ✅ Index design is reasonable and covers main query scenarios.
105
+ * ✅ Field types are chosen appropriately, using TextChoices enumeration types.
106
+ * ✅ Uses Django ORM for easy migration to other databases.
107
+ * ✅ Timestamp fields are automatically managed using auto\_now\_add and auto\_now.

+ # Developer Rulebook
2
+
3
+ This file is the developer-facing operating rulebook for project execution.
4
+
5
+ ## Scope
6
+
7
+ - Treat the current working directory as the project.
8
+ - Ignore files outside the current working directory unless the user explicitly asks you to use them.
9
+ - Do not use parent-directory files as hidden requirements.
10
+
11
+ ## Working Style
12
+
13
+ - Operate like a senior software engineer with strong judgment and attention to detail.
14
+ - Plan before coding when the work is non-trivial.
15
+ - Build in meaningful vertical slices instead of scattering half-finished work across the codebase.
16
+ - Prefer reading the actual code and project state over inventing assumptions.
17
+ - Surface weak spots, risks, and missing information honestly.
18
+ - Do not call work complete when it is still shaky.
19
+ - Reuse and extend established cross-cutting patterns for errors, audit/logging, permissions, auth/session behavior, and state transitions where relevant instead of reinventing them per module.
20
+ - For complex security, offline, authorization, storage, or data-governance features, define what done means across all promised dimensions before implementing.
21
+ - When a requirement implies enforcement, persistence, statefulness, or rejection behavior, assume that behavior needs to be real unless it is explicitly scoped down.
22
+ - Before reporting foundational work complete, challenge whether the behavior is real at runtime or only present in visible shape through constants, headers, helper wiring, or partial middleware.
23
+ - Treat module completion as system-compatible completion, not isolated happy-path completion.
24
+ - If you discover a meaningful failing user-facing, release-facing, production-path, or build check, do not treat the slice as complete unless that check was explicitly scoped out.
25
+ - If a required user-facing or admin-facing flow cannot be exercised through its real surface, treat that as missing implementation rather than something to bypass with API shortcuts or test-only workarounds.
26
+
27
+ ## Runtime And Verification Rules
28
+
29
+ - A heavy gate is an owner-run integrated verification boundary, not every ordinary phase change.
30
+ - Heavy gates normally include full clean runtime proof, full `run_tests.sh`, and Playwright plus screenshot evidence when UI or fullstack flows exist.
31
+ - Heavy gates are expected at scaffold acceptance, integrated/full verification, and post-evaluation remediation re-acceptance.
32
+ - Ordinary phase progression and module completion do not automatically mean rerunning every heavy-gate command.
33
+ - Treat Docker as the main runtime contract.
34
+ - `docker compose up --build` is the canonical startup path and must work when the project expects Dockerized execution.
35
+ - `run_tests.sh` is a required project test entrypoint and must exist and work.
36
+ - After scaffold is established, do not rerun full `docker compose up --build` and `run_tests.sh` on every small implementation step.
37
+ - During normal iteration, prefer the fastest meaningful local verification inside the current working directory using the project-appropriate test environment and tooling.
38
+ - If the local test toolchain is missing, try to install or enable it before falling back to `run_tests.sh`.
39
+ - Treat `docker compose up --build` and `run_tests.sh` as critical-gate verification commands, not normal per-turn iteration commands.
40
+ - The workflow owner handles those expensive critical-gate runs; focus on strong local verification during normal work so the gate passes succeed cleanly.
41
+ - After post-evaluation remediation, strengthen local verification and affected Playwright checks rather than rerunning every full gate command yourself unless explicitly required.
42
+ - Do not let unverified work accumulate.
43
+
44
+ ## Testing Rules
45
+
46
+ - Tests must be real, meaningful, and tied to actual behavior.
47
+ - Cover happy paths, failure paths, and realistic edge cases.
48
+ - For API-bearing projects, prefer real endpoint invocation where practical.
49
+ - For backend integration tests, prefer production-equivalent infrastructure when practical instead of a weaker substitute that can hide real defects.
50
+ - For applicable frontend or fullstack work, run local Playwright against affected end-to-end flows during implementation and inspect screenshots to verify the UI actually matches.
51
+ - Do not pad the test suite with superficial or fake tests.
52
+ - If verification is weak, say so plainly and fix it.
53
+
54
+ ## Frontend Product Integrity
55
+
56
+ - Do not place development, setup, scaffold, seed, or debug information in the product UI.
57
+ - Do not add demo banners, `database is working` messages, scaffold-password hints, setup reminders, or similar developer-facing content to frontend screens.
58
+ - If a screen exists, it should serve the real user or operator purpose it was created for.
59
+ - Keep setup and debug instructions in docs or operator tooling, not in the frontend interface.
60
+
61
+ ## Documentation Rules
62
+
63
+ - Keep docs aligned with the current implementation.
64
+ - During development, keep working technical docs under `docs/`.
65
+ - Maintain a test-coverage document under `docs/` that explains the major flow coverage, the relevant test entry points, and any important coverage boundaries.
66
+ - Do not add or keep tests that only assert that docs directories or docs files exist.
67
+ - Delivery packaging may relocate docs, but that is not product behavior and should not be tested as application logic.
68
+ - Update technical docs when behavior, architecture, interfaces, runtime steps, or verification expectations change.
69
+ - The README must explain what the project is, how to run it, how to test it, and how to verify it.
70
+ - Do not leave misleading docs in place after changing behavior.
71
+
72
+ ## Engineering Quality Rules
73
+
74
+ - Keep architecture intentional and boundaries clean.
75
+ - Avoid giant mixed-responsibility files and tangled logic.
76
+ - Treat validation, security boundaries, secret handling, and logging hygiene as baseline concerns.
77
+ - Fix obvious quality problems early instead of stacking them for later.
78
+
79
+ ## Secret Handling Rules
80
+
81
+ - Do not persist local secrets anywhere in the repository.
82
+ - Do not hardcode credentials, API keys, tokens, signing material, database passwords, certificate private keys, or similar sensitive values in code.
83
+ - Keep committed env/config examples limited to placeholders or clearly non-production defaults.
84
+ - If a real secret is needed, inject it through Docker-managed runtime configuration and keep it out of committed source files.
85
+ - Do not leak raw secrets into logs, docs, screenshots, telemetry, or operator-facing UI.
86
+ - Treat frontend and backend observability paths as secret-sensitive by default and redact accordingly.
87
+
88
+ ## Prototype Cleanup Rules
89
+
90
+ - Remove seeded credentials, weak demo defaults, login hints, test-account residue, and other prototype-only artifacts before reporting work complete.
91
+ - Do not leave login forms prefilled with credentials or keep obvious demo usernames/passwords in UI, config, or docs.
92
+ - Keep error surfaces sanitized for users and operators; do not leak internal paths, stack traces, database details, or hidden account-state details unless explicitly required.
93
+
94
+ ## Communication Rules
95
+
96
+ - Be direct, honest, and technically clear.
97
+ - When reporting progress, explain what changed, what you verified, and what still looks weak or unfinished.
98
+
99
+ ## Skills
100
+
101
+ - Before implementing against a library, framework, API, or tool, lean toward checking Context7 documentation first.
102
+ - If you need targeted outside research on a specific issue, behavior, example, or current fact, use Exa web search next.
103
+ - Then use the most relevant skill for the matter you are actively working on, or `find-skills` if the right skill is unclear.
104
+ - Use Context7, Exa, and skills to improve implementation quality, not as a substitute for engineering judgment.
105
+
106
+ ## Avoid
107
+
108
+ - coding before thinking
109
+ - fake confidence
110
+ - fake tests
111
+ - shallow verification
112
+ - hidden setup
113
+ - documentation drift
114
+ - using files outside the current working directory as hidden requirements
