Workflow

CADENCE itself is built with TDD. Every new feature starts with a failing test, then implementation, then commit.

• Run a single package: pnpm --filter @thomas-powers-jr/cadence-core test
• Build everything: pnpm build
• Type-check: pnpm typecheck
• Lint: pnpm lint

Pull requests

• One logical change per PR
• All CI checks must be green
• Add tests for behavior changes
