Code standards

Coding conventions governing how Lore source is written.

What this folder is

Per-language, per-area conventions for error handling, logging, task spawning, testing, comments, and similar concerns. Each page is a Code-Standard doc — imperative rules paired with rationale, code examples, and reference tables.

The standards

• Error handling. Typed thiserror enums, the public LoreError interface, logging extension traits, and the no-unwrap rule.
• Logging. tracing for server and tool code, Lore macros for library code, and when to use each log level.
• Task spawning. The lore_spawn! macros that keep LORE_CONTEXT propagating across async and blocking tasks.
• Testing. Unit, async, and smoke test patterns, with the test-independence rules that keep them isolated.
• Comments and documentation. Rust doc-comment expectations and when a code comment earns its place.
