8# Code preservation
9 
10## Core principle
11 
12Never delete, revert, or discard code without explicit user approval. When fixing bugs or resolving conflicts, preserve all existing changes.
13 
14## Requirements
15 
16- **Minimal changes**: Fix only what is broken.
17- **Root cause**: Address the underlying issue, not symptoms.
18- **No collateral damage**: Do not modify unrelated code.
19- **Preserve existing changes**: Never discard work in progress.

21## When modifying code
22 
23- Before deleting any code, explain why and get approval.
24- When resolving merge conflicts, preserve both sides when possible.
25- When fixing test failures, fix the test or the code — do not delete either.
26- When refactoring, preserve behavior; rename instead of delete when practical.
