Defines the software development lifecycle for KNEL-AIMiddleware:
- Protocol validation is NON-NEGOTIABLE: build + start + protocol handshake
ALL required before marking a server as "working"
- MCP initialize handshake: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"initialize"...}
- STATUS.md is the single source of truth for server status
- Status categories: Working, Runtime Connection Required, Host-Only,
Transport Mismatch, Build Failed, Runtime Issue
- Step-by-step process for adding new MCP/LSP servers
- Common Dockerfile patterns for Python/uv, Node/npx, Go
- Wrapper script pattern for Crush integration
Commit Policy (MANDATORY):
- AI agents MUST commit automatically WITHOUT prompting
- Atomic commits: one logical change per commit
- Conventional format: feat:, fix:, docs:, build:, refactor:, test:
- Verbose messages explaining what, why, and how validated
- Automatic push after each commit
