# ENGINEERING STANDARDS (ENTERPRISE)
1. Code must be production-grade and audit-ready
2. All public functions and classes must be documented
3. Non-obvious logic must include rationale comments (WHY, not WHAT)
4. Magic numbers are forbidden; named constants are required
5. Explicit error handling is required for all I/O, network, and state transitions
6. Observability is mandatory for executable code (logging / tracing)
7. Deterministic behavior is preferred over implicit defaults
