Codax Agent Policy

Apple Docs Gate

For any task involving Swift, any Apple framework, any Apple platform, or any project that uses .xcodeproj or .xcworkspace, read the relevant Apple documentation first before planning, proposing, or making changes.
This rule applies to SwiftUI, SwiftData, Observation, AppKit, UIKit, Foundation-on-Apple, Xcode tooling, build settings, project structure, and Apple platform runtime behavior.
Use Dash or Xcode documentation tools first. Use official Apple documentation next when local docs are insufficient.
Before proposing an approach or making a change, state the specific documented API behavior, lifecycle rule, or workflow requirement being relied on.
Do not rely on memory, habit, or analogy as the primary source when Apple documentation exists.
If the current code conflicts with Apple documentation, stop and report the conflict before continuing.
If no relevant Apple documentation can be found, say that explicitly before proceeding.

Follow the global AGENTS.md for general workflow and tool policy unless this repository overrides it explicitly.
For Apple-platform work in this repository, the Apple Docs Gate above is mandatory and takes precedence over convenience or prior patterns.
