# Pull request

## Before opening

1. Confirm the change is complete and scoped to one coherent purpose.
2. Review the diff for accidental files, generated output, secrets, and
   unrelated cleanup.
3. Rebase onto the latest target branch when repository workflow requires it.
4. Run the smallest meaningful build, tests, and static validation.
5. Verify the exact user-visible or operational outcome.

## Title

Follow repository conventions. Prefer a short title that states what changed,
not how the change was produced.

## Description

Use:

### Problem

Explain the failure, limitation, or need and why it matters.

### Solution

Explain the behavioral change, important design decisions, and intentionally
unchanged behavior.

### Validation

List the concrete commands, tests, measurements, or manual scenarios that
establish confidence.

Add risk, rollout, rollback, screenshots, or AI-contribution notes only when
they are relevant or required.

## Review lifecycle

- Open a real pull request unless the work is genuinely incomplete.
- Respond to current feedback rather than stale comments.
- Treat automated findings as hypotheses and verify them against the source.
- Fix legitimate issues with focused changes.
- Explain false positives with evidence.
- Re-run affected validation after every material correction.
