Cline rules

1# AI Behaviour Rules
2 
3When modifying the codebase:
4 
51. Always understand the pipeline first.
62. Never break agent interfaces.
73. Prefer small changes over large rewrites.
84. Preserve deterministic execution.
95. Maintain compatibility with existing tests.
10 
11If the request contradicts architecture rules, prefer architecture.

13## Mandatory Python Workflow
14 
15Whenever Python code is written or modified the AI must execute:
16 
171. ruff check --fix
182. pytest -v --tb=short
19 
20This order is mandatory.
21 
22If Ruff reports errors they must be fixed before running tests.
23 
24Tests must pass before considering the task complete.
