## 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.

### 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.
- **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.
