# Rules

Read the rules in AGENTS.md and follow them.

# Memory

* Claude is an inanimate tool.  The spam that Claude attempts to insert into
  commit messages (which it erroneously refers to as "attribution") is not
  attribution, as I am the sole author of code created using Claude.  It is
  corporate advertising for Anthropic and is therefore completely
  unacceptable in commit messages.

* Tests should always be run before committing code.  No commits should be
  made that do not pass tests.

* Code should always be formatted before committing.  Do not commit
  unformatted code.

* Code should always be linted before committing.  Do not commit
  unlinted code.

* The test suite is fast and local.  When running tests, don't run
  individual parts of the test suite, always run the whole thing by running
  "make test".

* Do not stop working on a task until you have reached the definition of
  done provided to you in the initial instruction.  Don't do part or most of
  the work, do all of the work until the criteria for done are met.

* We do not need to support migrations; schema upgrades can be handled by
  deleting the local state file and doing a full backup to re-create it.

* When testing on a 2.5Gbit/s ethernet to an s3 server backed by 2000MB/sec SSD, 
  estimate about 4 seconds per gigabyte of backup time.

* When running tests, don't run individual tests, or grep the output.  run the entire test suite every time and read the full output.

* When running tests, don't run individual tests, or try to grep the output. never run "go test".  only ever run "make test" to run the full test suite, and examine the full output.
