INHERITED FROM Helix Constitution

This module is a submodule of a consuming project that includes the Helix Constitution submodule at the parent's constitution/ path. All rules in constitution/CLAUDE.md and the constitution/Constitution.md it references (universal anti-bluff covenant §11.4, no-guessing mandate §11.4.6, credentials-handling mandate §11.4.10, host-session safety §12, data safety §9, mutation- paired gates §1.1) apply unconditionally to every change landed here. The module-specific rules below extend them — they never weaken any universal clause.

When this file disagrees with the constitution submodule, the constitution wins. Locate the constitution submodule from any arbitrary nested depth using its find_constitution.sh helper.

Project Constitution

INHERITED FROM constitution/Constitution.md

All rules in constitution/Constitution.md (and the constitution/Constitution.md it references) apply unconditionally. This file's rules below extend them — they MUST NOT weaken any inherited rule. Use constitution/find_constitution.sh from the parent project root to resolve the absolute path of the submodule from any nested location.

Constitutional Anti-Bluff Forensic Anchor (CONST-035 / §11.9, inherited)

Verbatim user mandate: "We had been in position that all tests do execute with success and all Challenges as well, but in reality the most of the features does not work and can't be used! This MUST NOT be the case and execution of tests and Challenges MUST guarantee the quality, the completion and full usability by end users of the product!"

Operative rule: The bar for shipping is not "tests pass" but "users can use the feature." Every PASS in this codebase MUST carry positive runtime evidence captured during execution. Metadata-only / configuration-only / absence-of-error / grep-based PASS without runtime evidence are critical defects regardless of how green the summary line looks. No false-success results are tolerable.

This anchor is inherited from the Helix Constitution (constitution/Constitution.md §11.9 / CONST-035); resolve it via constitution/find_constitution.sh from the parent project root. This submodule stays fully decoupled and project-not-aware (§11.4.28) — this is generic governance inheritance only, never project-specific context.
