Project Guide (CascadingDev)

Daily flow

1. Work under Docs/features/FR_*/...
2. Commit; the pre-commit hook ensures *.discussion.sum.md and (later) updates summaries/diagrams.
3. Use Docs/features/.../discussions/*.discussion.md for stage talks.
   End each comment with VOTE: READY|CHANGES|REJECT.

Start a new feature

• Create Docs/features/FR_YYYY-MM-DD_<slug>/request.md from the template.
• Commit; the system seeds stage discussions and summaries automatically.

First run

• After installation, make an initial commit to activate the hook:

  git add .
  git commit -m "chore: initial commit"
  

Notes

• Keep discussions append-only.
• Human READY is required at Implementation/Release.
• Ramble GUI (ramble.py) is optional; use it to seed the first feature.
