 ## Working style
 - Scan repo first; do not guess file names or patterns.
 - Make the smallest change that resolves the issue.
+- Religiously commit work in small, verified slices; prefer frequent checkpoint commits over large end-state batches.
+- Follow the commit discipline in `PROJECT_INSTRUCTIONS.md` for every slice, including Conventional Commit messages and related-file-only scope.
 - Keep touched files free of TS warnings and lint errors.
 - Add/update tests when API behavior changes (include negative cases).
 - Keep text encoding clean (no mojibake).
