Safety Rules

Critical: Read and follow all rules in this directory for every bash/command execution.

Core rules:

1. Always set explicit timeout on bash calls — 30s for tests, 60s for installs, never default
2. Never run unscoped full test suites — use -k or file paths to limit scope
3. Never use rm -rf without variable guards, curl|bash, sudo, or kill -9
4. Infinite loops must have hard timeout + budget limits — no unbounded while(True)
5. Redirect stdin with < /dev/null for non-interactive commands

Rules

• rules/bash-timeout.md - Timeout safety and terminal FD corruption prevention
• rules/terminal-safety.md - Terminal crash prevention and recovery
