linting

verification agent-workflow delegation linting documentation-drift

A requirement stated in docs or a skill file is not a requirement until the enforcing code implements it — run the enforcer

Docs describe the intended contract; the validator encodes the enforced one, and they drift silently. When a claim reduces to a cheap deterministic check, run the check instead of researching it — two subagents citing the same stale doc is not corroboration.

LESSON

ruff python type-checking pre-commit linting f821

ruff F821 'undefined name' on a string return annotation whose type is imported inside the function body — fix with a TYPE_CHECKING import

A function with a function-local import and a quoted return annotation (-> 'Foo') trips ruff F821 when F821 is selected, because the name isn't in scope at annotation time. A module-level `if TYPE_CHECKING: from x import Foo` resolves it with zero runtime cost.
