-guide to extending Zero with specialists, hooks, plugins, MCP, and skills, see
-[docs/EXTENDING.md](docs/EXTENDING.md).
+# Repository Conventions for Zero

-## 1. Contribution and Pull Request Rules
+This file outlines the project conventions and repository guidelines for coding agents when working on the `zero` repository. For the general guide on how to extend Zero (write specialist sub-agents, hooks, plugins, MCP, skills), see [docs/EXTENDING.md](docs/EXTENDING.md).

- Before opening any pull request, **all contributors**—including maintainers,
-  community contributors, and coding agents—must read and follow
-  [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).
- Community pull requests require an existing parent issue with the
-  `issue-approved` label. Team members may open pull requests through the
-  internal development process described in `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
- Keep each change focused on the approved or assigned scope. Do not include
-  unrelated fixes, refactors, formatting churn, generated output, or existing
-  local changes in the same commit or pull request.
- Discuss new implementation languages, runtimes, major dependency changes,
-  and broad architectural rewrites with maintainers before implementation.
- Pull request descriptions must explain what changed and why, link the parent
-  issue when required, and list the tests or verification performed. Include
-  screenshots or a short recording for user-visible UI changes when practical.
+## 1. Project Conventions

-## 2. Repository and Implementation Conventions
+- Build with `make`, not `go build` directly.
+- Tests live next to the source file (`foo_test.go` next to `foo.go`).
+- Run `make lint` before opening a PR.
+- Never edit files under `third_party/` — those are vendored.
+- Unify functions/methods where possible to prevent codebase inflation. Prefer a single cross-platform function with conditional checks over duplicating helpers per platform.

- Use the Go version declared in `go.mod`. Do not hardcode a different local
-  toolchain version in scripts or documentation.
- Use the repository build and release commands (`make` and
-  `go run ./cmd/zero-release ...`) instead of inventing parallel build flows.
- Keep tests beside their source files (`foo_test.go` next to `foo.go`). Add a
-  regression test for behavior changes and run affected concurrent code under
-  the race detector.
- Never edit files under `third_party/`; they are vendored.
- Prefer one cross-platform function with small conditional checks over
-  duplicated platform-specific helpers when the behavior can remain unified.
- Do not commit generated benchmark reports from
-  `internal/perfbench/reports/*.json`; reports are configuration-specific
-  evidence, not repository state.
- Preserve the user's working tree. Do not overwrite, delete, stage, or commit
-  unrelated tracked or untracked files.
+## 2. Guidelines for Coding Agents

-## 3. Required Validation
+If you are an AI coding agent executing tasks in this repository, you **MUST** run all Go code quality and security checks before committing code or completing your task:

-Run validation from the repository root before committing, opening a pull
-request, or completing an implementation task:
+1. **Format & Vet**: Run `go fmt ./...` and `go vet ./...`.
+2. **Lint**: Run `go run github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/v2/cmd/[email protected] run --enable-only unused,ineffassign,staticcheck ./...`.
+3. **Security**: Run `go run golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/[email protected] ./...`.

-1. **Formatting check**: `make fmt-check`. If it fails, format with
-   `go fmt ./...` (or `make fmt`) and run the check again.
-2. **Vet**: `go vet ./...` (or `make vet`).
-3. **Tests**: `go test ./...`. Use `make test` for the full race-enabled suite,
-   or run focused tests with `-race`, when concurrency is affected.
-4. **Build**: `go run ./cmd/zero-release build`.
-5. **Smoke test**: `go run ./cmd/zero-release smoke`.
-6. **Advisory lint**: `make lint-static`.
-7. **Security**: `make vulncheck`.
-8. **Diff hygiene**: `git diff HEAD --check` (covers staged and unstaged
-   tracked changes).
-
-`make lint` currently runs the formatting check and `go vet`; it does **not**
-run golangci-lint. The pinned golangci-lint job is advisory in CI while the
-existing repository-wide backlog is cleaned up. Fix findings introduced by or
-related to the current change. Unrelated pre-existing advisory findings do not
-justify expanding a focused pull request; report them separately.
-
-Formatting, vet, tests, build, smoke, diff hygiene, and govulncheck are hard
-requirements. If a related check fails, fix it. If a required check cannot run
-because of the environment or fails for an unrelated external reason, report
-the exact failure and obtain maintainer direction rather than silently ignoring
-it.
-
-## 4. Common Review Blockers
-
-These classes drive multi-round reviews. Fix them before requesting review:
-
- **Fresh base:** Rebase onto the current PR base (`main` or stacked target)
-  before review. A stale head that rolls back mainline commits is a hard
-  blocker, not a merge-time detail. Resolve conflicts by keeping upstream
-  behavior unless the PR intentionally changes it.
- **Platform truth:** Code and tests must pass on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
-  Compare paths after canonicalization (physical/`EvalSymlinks` form); never
-  assert raw `t.TempDir()` spellings (`/var` vs `/private/var` on macOS, short
-  paths on Windows). Prefer one cross-platform function with small `GOOS`
-  checks over duplicated helpers that drift.
- **Security edges:** Keep secrets out of argv, env dumps, and logs. Redact
-  success and error paths (including stderr). Fail closed on ownership, lease,
-  and permission checks. Do not rely on pre-open path resolution
-  (`EvalSymlinks` then open) for containment: that is a check-to-use race.
-  Bind containment at open/use time with rooted or handle-relative,
-  traversal-resistant APIs. If a no-follow API is used, apply it to every
-  traversed component and enforce the platform's reparse-point protections;
-  final-component-only no-follow is insufficient. On multi-step setup, roll back
-  only what this run created; never destroy pre-existing resources you did
-  not create; never report success when cleanup or unlock failed.
- **Normalize before matching:** Any transform that REMOVES bytes without
-  leaving a gap is also a reassembler, so it has to run before whatever matches
-  on the result. Redacting by shape and then stripping control bytes lets a
-  credential split by a NUL, an ESC or a C1 byte pass the patterns as two
-  fragments and be rejoined on the way out; comparing a path against a form
-  produced by the same resolver the kernel just used makes a redirect agree with
-  itself. Strip, decode, or canonicalize first, then match. The unsplit value
-  passing is not evidence, so the test needs a split case.
- **Atomic shared state:** Write a complete temporary file, then atomically
-  replace the destination so concurrent readers never see a partial write.
-  Exclusive create or a write lock alone is not enough for readers. Serialize
-  the full read-modify-write sequence for lockfiles and shared stores.
- **Tests match the claim:** Every behavior or security-boundary change needs a
-  regression test, including the failure path. Path-sensitive logic needs at
-  least one non-Linux path case (or a hermetic fake that exercises the same
-  normalization).
- **Honest scope:** PR description, help text, and comments must match what
-  shipped. Wire advertised entry points or shrink the claim. Do not bundle
-  unrelated fixes. Do not widen security allowlists by name alone; check
-  classification and side effects too.
+If any check fails or cannot be run, do not ignore it. Prompt the user for instructions or setup assistance before proceeding.

-To keep triage and review sustainable while the project stabilizes, please keep
-your contribution flow to a size the core team can realistically work through:
-
- One issue per bug. File each defect as its own issue with its own
-  reproduction. Please do not bundle several unrelated findings into a single
-  "audit" issue; separate issues are far easier to triage, approve, and close

- Keep only a few items open at a time. If you already have several issues or

-  more. A large simultaneous burst from one contributor slows review for
-  everyone, even when each item is valid.
- AI-assisted contributions are welcome, held to the same bar. Automated audits
-  and generated patches are fine, but each issue and pull request must be
-  individually verified, scoped, and reproducible before you open it. Please do

 ### Code Quality and Security Checks

-Before committing any changes, ensure all Go code quality and security checks pass. The `make` targets below pin each tool to this module's Go version, so they load correctly even when your default `go` toolchain is older — running the plain `go run ...@version` form yourself can select the tool module's own (older) toolchain and fail to load this module instead.
+Before committing any changes, ensure all Go code quality and security checks pass. Pinned `go run` commands matching CI constraints can be used directly without prior installation:

-1. **Formatting**: Run `make fmt` (or `go fmt ./...`).
-2. **Vetting**: Run `make vet` (or `go vet ./...`).
-3. **Linting**: Run `make lint-static`.
-4. **Vulnerability Scan**: Run `make vulncheck`.
+1. **Formatting**: Run `go fmt ./...` (or `make fmt`).
+2. **Vetting**: Run `go vet ./...` (or `make vet`).
+3. **Linting**: Run `go run github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/v2/cmd/[email protected] run --enable-only unused,ineffassign,staticcheck ./...`.
+4. **Vulnerability Scan**: Run `go run golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/[email protected] ./...`.

-Use the repository-managed targets rather than globally installed binaries:
-the targets apply the module's required Go toolchain as well as the reviewed,
-pinned tool versions.
-
-The installed binaries land in `$GOBIN` when it is set, otherwise in
-`$GOPATH/bin` (default `~/go/bin`). That directory must be on your `PATH` to
-run them directly. If it isn't, add it:
+If you prefer to install these tools globally on your path, you can run:

-
-## Questions, setup help, configuration
-
-Ask in [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/Gitlawb/zero/discussions). Use
-[Q&A](https://github.com/Gitlawb/zero/discussions/categories/q-a) so answers can
-be marked and found by the next person.
-
-The fastest way to a useful answer is to include:
-
- `zero --version` output
- your OS (Windows, macOS, Linux) and how you installed Zero (npm, install
-  script, source)
- the provider and model you are using (`zero providers list`)
- `zero doctor` output for setup problems
- the exact command you ran and the exact error text
-
-## Bugs
-
-If Zero does something wrong (crashes, wrong output, broken behavior), file a
-[bug report](https://github.com/Gitlawb/zero/issues/new/choose). If you are not
-sure whether it is a bug or a setup problem, start in Discussions and we will
-promote it to an issue if it is one.
-
-## Feature ideas
-
-Start a thread in
-[Ideas](https://github.com/Gitlawb/zero/discussions/categories/ideas). Zero is
-in controlled development (see CONTRIBUTING.md), so discussing an idea first is
-also the path to getting a PR accepted.

-## Recovering an Interrupted Overwrite
-
-Zero writes and flushes a complete temporary file before publishing an overwrite,
-so a write failure before publication leaves the existing manifest unchanged
-instead of truncating it. On Unix, publication uses a same-directory rename and
-preserves the existing file's permission bits.

-On Windows, Zero uses `ReplaceFileW` to preserve the destination DACL instead of
-silently replacing it with the temporary file's inherited DACL. `ReplaceFileW`
-is not observer-atomic: another process can briefly observe the destination path
-as absent during replacement. Zero serializes specialist loads and managed
-mutations within one process, but cannot synchronize external processes or
-editors.
-
-Windows errors 1176 (`ERROR_UNABLE_TO_MOVE_REPLACEMENT`) and 1177
-(`ERROR_UNABLE_TO_MOVE_REPLACEMENT_2`) are partial replacement failures. With
-Zero's managed backup, 1176 leaves the original names intact and needs no manual
-recovery. For 1177, Zero has moved the original aside and tries to move it back.
-That rollback almost always succeeds, and the failed write changes nothing.
-
-If the rollback itself fails — typically because another process is holding a
-lock on the file — the original is not lost, but it is left under a name Zero
-does not read:

-```text

-
-```powershell

-
-A `.zero-replace-*.backup` can also linger after a *successful* overwrite if the

-An update **refuses to run** while unresolved recovery state exists beside the
-binary:
-
-| State on disk | Meaning |
-|---|---|
-| `<binary>.old` (or `<binary>.<suffix>.old`) plus a `.keep` marker | A previous update could not restore the original binary. The `.old` file may be the last binary the updater verified; the installed one may be unverified. |
-| `<binary>.…old.<suffix>.recovery` | A previous update could not even write the marker, so it moved the last verified binary to that name. |
-| The binary is missing and one or more `*.old` files exist | The previous attempt was interrupted between moves. |
-
-The refusal names the paths involved and the two moves that end the state:
-either move the recovery binary back over the executable path, or — if the
-installed binary is the one you want — delete the `.keep` marker (or the
-`.recovery` copy, once you have verified the installed binary) and update again.
-
-This is deliberately fail-closed and differs from older releases, which deleted
-`<binary>.old` and proceeded. The trade-off is that anyone who can write in the
-installation directory can plant `<binary>.old` and `<binary>.old.keep` there
-and make every subsequent update refuse until an operator clears them. That is
-the safe direction: the alternative is an update that overwrites the only
-verified copy of the previous binary. If updates start refusing, inspect those
-files before removing them — an installation directory that a lower-privileged
-account can write to is itself worth fixing.
+verify its `.sha256` file. If Zero is already installed, run `zero update --check`

-// call), the loop dispatches that line through a synchronous path that blocks the
-// read loop, cancellation is asserted to have happened before the loop attempts
