Code Reuse Enforcement

CRITICAL GUARDRAIL: Discover existing code BEFORE writing new code.

Why This Matters

• Magic strings scatter across 50 files instead of 1 constant
• Duplicate utilities create maintenance nightmares
• Inconsistent values break features silently

The Discovery-First Workflow

BEFORE writing ANY code with literals or utilities:

1. Check Constants - URLs, paths, timeouts, limits, env var names
2. Check Enums - States, statuses, types, actions
3. Check Utilities - Path ops, env reading, file ops, validation
