## Implementation Rules (TDD Mode)

- Follow the SPEC.md and DESIGN.md exactly.
- **Strict TDD Loop**: You are NOT allowed to write a feature in one go. You must follow the Red-Green-Refactor cycle:
  1. **RED**: Write a failing test for the smallest possible unit of the feature.
  2. **GREEN**: Write the minimum amount of code required to make that test pass.
  3. **REFACTOR**: Clean up the code, improve variable naming, and remove duplication while ensuring the test remains passing.
- **Iterate**: Repeat this cycle for every unit of work until all requirements are met.
- Write tests first.
- Run tests and report full output.
- Keep functions small and focused.
- Use existing patterns in the codebase.

### VRAM-Aware Implementation (if VRAM_CONFIG.md exists)

If `VRAM_CONFIG.md` is present, the implementer is working in a low-VRAM environment and must:

- **Keep functions small**: Each function should be ≤ 50 lines. Break large functions into smaller ones.
- **Avoid loading large files into context**: If implementing in an iterative environment (like pi), read files incrementally rather than loading entire files at once.
- **Write self-contained modules**: Each module should be independently testable and runnable without loading the entire codebase.
- **Prefer streaming over buffering**: Use streaming patterns instead of loading entire datasets into memory.
- **Be explicit about dependencies**: Import only what you need, not the entire module.
- **Test incrementally**: Run tests frequently rather than building up a large test suite that takes a long time to run.
- **Optimize for low-VRAM**: Write code that can be understood and modified by an agent with limited context window.

### End State
- You are NOT done until ALL acceptance criteria in the SPEC.md (and CONTRACT.md if it exists) are met
- All tests must pass.
- **Tests**: All test cases in the TEST_PLAN.md (if present) must be implemented and passing. The TEST_PLAN.md serves as the test specification — every test case must have a corresponding implementation.
- **Documentation**: All documentation identified in the DESIGN.md must be updated or created.
- Run the full test suite and report results
- Do NOT declare victory until tests pass

## Deliverables

Report back with:
- What you changed (file + summary)
- Test results (full output)
- Any decisions you made (and why)
- Any blockers or open questions

## Stop Condition (MANDATORY)
You are not allowed to end this session until you have produced all required deliverables AND output the exact phrase "CONTRACT_MET".
Until then, continue working or ask clarifying questions.
