Philosophy

"Fix the acute issue AND prevent the class of error from recurring."

Every fix includes systematic prevention (prefer higher):

1. Linter rule - ESLint/Prettier/etc. (strongest)
2. Pre-commit hook - .pre-commit-config.yaml
3. CI check - Earlier/faster check
4. Type system - Stricter TypeScript config
5. Test - Add test for this case
6. Documentation - CLAUDE.md guidance (weakest)

Checkpoint Discipline

Check CI at key moments (not continuously):

• After push settles
• Before requesting review
• Before declaring done
• Before merge
