Scratchpad

Disposable code and artifacts live in .scratch/, either in the working directory or under a designated output directory. Never committed.

Smoke Tests

Any disposable code used to quickly verify something works. Write them liberally after implementing changes.

Type	When to use	Example
Logic verification	Verify guard patterns, state machines, edge cases	`vitest` test asserting a staleness guard rejects stale responses
API/endpoint probes	Verify endpoints respond correctly	`curl` scripts hitting local dev server
Integration checks	Verify two systems work together	Script that creates a resource then reads it back
Regression probes	Verify a specific bug is fixed	Minimal repro of the bug, now passing
