Repo Conventions (This Base)

- Use `apply_patch` for edits; don’t commit or branch unless asked.
- No license headers unless explicitly requested.
- No one‑letter variable names; no inline code comments unless asked.
- Keep filenames and structure stable; avoid renames unless necessary.
- Don’t re‑read files after an edit; the tool confirms success.
- Never output broken inline citations; prefer clickable filepaths.
