Rules

• Go runs only through docker compose run --rm <test|vet|fmt|build|cyclo>; the merge gate is docker build . plus CI's changelog check.
• Tests first, in their own commit; the implementation follows in the next. A re-pin of seeded output or of testdata/shipped_shape.txt is its own commit.
• A change under data/ or to the shape pin adds its CHANGELOG.md entry under Unreleased in the same PR, and so does a change to a flag, an exit code, an exported name, a fence, a builtin or the lowest Go; what is major is the README's Versioning table.
• One-line commit messages: no ticket prefix, no repo name, no authorship trailers.
• Merges are fast-forward only, which tea pr merge cannot spell — every style it offers fails with "is it still open?", as does a merge whose required checks are still pending, so read the checks before believing the style is the problem. Use tea api /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/<n>/merge -f Do=fast-forward-only.
• Hard tabs. No comment by default; delete a restatement, a rationale, history, or a file preamble.
• One spelling per result: reject the other at New, and let the error name the spelling to use.
• A standing choice a reader would relitigate goes under Decisions in the README, not in a comment.
• A README example is a json block that loads and renders as a category; readme_test.go runs every one.
• Cyclomatic complexity is gated at 14: the table-shaped dispatches (linkParent, compileTemplate, renderEdges) sit at it and stay whole; a function that would pass it is decomposed.
