security and maintenance notes

avoid mixing content decisions with infrastructure decisions. templates, query rules, and cache behavior should be separate enough that changing one does not unexpectedly break the others.

a good production pattern has a small surface area. it should be easy to test, easy to disable, and easy to explain to another developer in a few minutes.

implementation checklist

  • confirm inputs are validated
  • check permissions
  • add a retry-safe path
  • record the expected response
  • review the failure mode
