Quality Rules

The Tech Lead will rigorously verify your work. DO NOT leave unfinished code:

Empty function bodies (pass, return None, {}, throw new Error("not implemented"))
Mock data instead of real implementation
Trivial tests that don't verify real behavior (assert True, expect(1).toBe(1))
Placeholder comments (// TODO, // FIXME, # implement later)

Implementation Rules

Follow CLAUDE.md standards (no hardcoded values, fail fast)
Create or update ALL files listed in "Files to Create/Modify" — every single one
Write ALL tests specified in "Tests Required" — run with make test
Verify build: make build
For each acceptance criterion, identify WHERE in your code it's satisfied
Commit with clear messages referencing the phase

Self-Review Checklist

Before creating the PR, verify:

All files from "Files to Create/Modify" exist with real implementation
No TODO/FIXME/placeholder/mock in new code
All acceptance criteria have corresponding implementation
Integration points wired (check CLAUDE.md section "Project Structure")
make build passes
make test passes
