name the LLM-default constructs this project forbids in
explicit before/after tables. catching the trap by pattern
match is more reliable than expecting a general rule to be
applied at write time. backend table covers PHP traps
(arrow fns, inline FQCNs, default params, stored refs, em
dashes, short names); frontend table covers JS/template/
cypress traps.
AGENTS.md gains a non-negotiable session start protocol that
forces reading the context files and checking the current
branch before any edits. shared.md gains a pre-commit
checklist covering branch/scope, code rules, mechanical
checks, and commit metadata. both additions exist because
this branch's history shows what happens when the rules are
treated as background information rather than active
checklists.
Forcing every call site to be explicit eliminates a class of bugs where an unintended default silently slips through. Codifies the convention already established by prior commits (cd40483, b41652a, 8eb0f23).
Replace the strict "one commit per file" guidance with grouping by
related changes, while keeping the small-and-focused intent. Add
explicit guidance on when to include a commit body and how to format
it (blank line separator, ~72 col wrap).
Applied to both backend and frontend prompt templates.
