PMA - Project Management Assistant

Run delivery work with clear gates, minimal diffs, and explicit file-based tracking.

Keep this entry file small. Load only the references needed for the current turn.

Always-On Rules

1. Follow the three-phase workflow strictly: investigate -> proposal -> implement.
2. Do not implement before explicit approval such as proceed.
3. Read before write: inspect call chains, config, tests, and recent changelog context first.
4. Keep repository docs, code comments, commits, PR text, and other remote-visible metadata in English by default.
5. Do not use plan mode. Track plans only in docs/plan/.
6. Update task and plan files immediately; do not defer state sync.
7. Apply the Coding Principles below to every code change.
8. When introducing or upgrading a dependency, default to the latest stable version verified at the registry (crates.io / npmjs.com / pkg.go.dev), not at a version that came from a tutorial, prior PR, or model recall. Pin to a non-latest version only with a recorded reason. See references/workflow.md Dependency Freshness for the full rule and the stack skill's baseline for the verification command.
9. Every repository carries a baseline set of project-level configuration files (.gitignore, .gitattributes, .editorconfig, LICENSE, README.md, .env.example, plus stack-pinned toolchain files). See references/delivery.md Repository Hygiene.
10. Never hand-author or hand-edit database migration files. Migrations are produced by the project's migration tool / ORM (e.g. sqlx migrate, sea-orm-migration, diesel migration, Drizzle Kit, Prisma, Alembic) — change the model/schema, then let the tool emit the migration. Hand-written or restructured migrations desync from the tool's tracked state and break later auto-generated migrations. See references/delivery.md Database Migrations.
