📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR adds a project constitution, spec-driven development guidance, OpenSpec configuration, updated agent instructions, pull request checklist changes, and ignore rules for contributor tooling.

Changes

Spec-driven development governance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Project constitution
.specify/memory/constitution.md
Defines architecture, development, quality, governance, and amendment standards.
Contributor workflow
CONTRIBUTING.md, openspec/config.yaml
Documents ADR and specification requirements and configures OpenSpec conventions.
Repository guidance and templates
AGENTS.md, .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md, .gitignore
Updates repository guidance, pull request checks, and ignore rules for spec-driven tooling.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to 5da39

This documentation-only change updates contributor guidance and templates; the remaining issue is a localized omission in AGENTS.md about optional sidecar lifecycle, which may mildly confuse contributors but does not affect runtime behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal review.

Define one coverage scope across the governance documents.

As per coding guidelines, keep coverage above 80 percent. The supplied
coverage configuration measures src/lola, but the policy text says
“changed files”. This PR changes only documentation and configuration
files. Define a docs/config-only exception or use “changed source files”
in all three locations.

  • .specify/memory/constitution.md#L150-L153: define the source-file scope or docs/config-only exception.
  • openspec/config.yaml#L18-L18: mirror the agreed coverage wording.
  • AGENTS.md#L17-L17: mirror the agreed coverage wording.

- Around line 29-32: Update the pull request checklist by adding conditional
entries for go vet ./..., coverage above 80%, and e2e BDD tests when introducing
new CLI commands; also provide an explicit N/A option for docs-only or
configuration-only changes, including the existing test, lint, type-check, and
commit checks.

In @.specify/memory/constitution.md:
- Around line 177-188: Use consistent approval wording in the “Constitution
Authority” and “Amendment Process” sections: replace the differing “both
maintainers” and “unanimous maintainer approval” phrases with one shared rule,
such as approval from all current maintainers.
- Around line 24-31: Update the “Type Safety & Modern Python” requirements in
the constitution and the pre-commit gate documentation to match the checks
actually enforced by .pre-commit-config.yaml: either add a basedpyright hook and
hooks for every listed gate, or remove unsupported gate claims and document the
existing ty check and mypy checks instead.

In `@AGENTS.md`:
- Line 86: Update the target-definition reference on line 86 of AGENTS.md from
the nonexistent src/lola/targets.py file to the existing src/lola/targets/
directory, preserving the surrounding description.

110-113: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Document the sidecar lifecycle.

Lines 110-113 show commands/deploy/ as an optional sidecar, but do not
state that its contents are copied and removed with the command. Add
that behavior or link to the canonical lifecycle guidance. This
preserves the contract for multi-file commands.

Based on learnings, command entries can have co-named sidecars whose
contents are copied and removed with the command.
