## 🎯 Feature Checklist
### Pre-Write Static Enforcement (GATE 3.5)
- ✅ Forbidden pattern detection:
- ✅ `unwrap()`
- ✅ `expect()`
- ✅ `panic!()`
- ✅ `todo!()`
- ✅ `unimplemented!()`
- ✅ `unsafe {}`
- ✅ `static mut`
- ✅ `Box::leak()`
- ✅ `unwrap_or(_)`
- ✅ `unwrap_or_default()`
- ✅ Ignored Results
- ✅ `cfg(test)` in non-test modules
- ✅ Error handling law enforcement:
- ✅ Reject Option<T> returns
- ✅ Reject Result<T, Box<dyn Error>>
- ✅ Require Result<T, SystemError> pattern
- ✅ Exception handling:
- ✅ Comments bypass detection
- ✅ Test files can use cfg(test)
- ✅ Plan-based pattern allowances
- ✅ Explicit justification required
### Post-Write Verification Gates
- ✅ `cargo fmt --check` - Code style verification
- ✅ `cargo clippy -- -D warnings` - Lint compliance
- ✅ `cargo build` - Compilation check
- ✅ Deny flags verification - Compiler attributes required
- ✅ Fail-fast architecture:
- ✅ Stop on first gate failure
- ✅ Revert file changes
- ✅ Return detailed error messages
- ✅ Block write completion
### Integration
- ✅ Automatic Rust project detection (Cargo.toml)
- ✅ Seamless integration with write_file flow
- ✅ Preflight integration (runs before JS tests)
- ✅ Proper error propagation (KaizaError)
- ✅ Audit logging compatible

## 🔧 How to Use
### For Developers
1. **Write Rust code** following best practices
2. **Avoid forbidden patterns** (use `?` instead of `.unwrap()`, etc.)
3. **Use Result error handling** for meaningful failures
4. **Include deny attributes** in `src/lib.rs` or `src/main.rs`
### For MCP Clients (WINDSURF)
When writing Rust via MCP:
1. Write file request includes Rust code
2. GATE 3.5 checks for forbidden patterns (static analysis)
3. File is written if no violations
4. Preflight runs verification gates (cargo fmt, clippy, build)
5. Changes reverted if any verification gate fails
6. Write succeeds only after all gates pass
### To Allow Specific Patterns
Include in plan with justification:
```yaml
rust-allowed-patterns:
- unwrap() # Justification here
- unsafe{} # Justification here
```
