## Development Principles
- Determinism over convenience; auditability over cleverness.
- Pure reducers + side-effect adaptors.
- Every state advance must be justified by guards and logged to WAL with UCXL DR refs.

## Workflow
1. Propose changes via RFC in `/rfc`.
2. Link to issues/spec deltas in `/spec` and update statechart if needed.
3. Submit PR with tests (unit + model-based + chaos sim).

## Commit Messages
Use: `CHORUS-<CAT>-###: short desc` and include UCXL backlink if applicable.
