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

  • run linting
  • run unit tests
  • run one integration check
  • verify staging config
  • tag the release
