Engineering Process & Standards
Reliable software is not an accident. Our engineering discipline enforces strict boundaries, verifiable evidence gates, and reproducible environments across the entire delivery pipeline.
Discovery & Threat Modeling
We establish normative domain boundaries, STRIDE threat models, and content allowlists before writing code. We define explicit success criteria and fail-closed failure states.
Architectural Contracts & Schema Gating
Every interface is governed by typed schemas (JSON Schema / Zod). APIs and state transitions are specified with deterministic error vocabularies and idempotency guarantees.
Isolated Implementation & Worktrees
Features are developed in isolated git worktrees, preventing contaminated working trees or shared mutable states. Single-writer hotspots (packages, lockfiles) are strictly coordinated.
Automated CI & Multi-Tier Verification
Code must pass automated typecheck, lint, unit, schema validation, zero-leak bundle checks, and cross-browser accessibility tests before landing.
Independent Review & Same-SHA Release Gating
Releases require independent review across code provenance, security, QA, and deployment lanes pinned to an identical commit SHA. Zero simulated proof.
