GEMINI.md - Agent Project Mandates

This document contains foundational mandates that I (Gemini) must follow throughout the development of IncriElemental.

1. System-Wide Directives

Architecture First: Prioritize separation between Core logic and Desktop rendering.
Agentic DevOps: I am responsible for the entire build, test, and visual audit lifecycle.
Validation: No change is complete without passing unit tests AND visual health audits.

2. Technical Standards

Framework: .NET 10.0 (MonoGame DesktopGL).
UI: Glassmorphism panels with runic accents and dynamic anchoring.
Visuals: High-fidelity "Aetherial Glow" using HLSL Bloom and multi-layered parallax.
Verification: Utilize UI Metadata (JSON) for state validation to avoid pixel-match fragility.

3. Visual Integrity Mandate

Automated Gallery: Maintain up-to-date screenshots in review/ and docs/screenshots.md.
Audit Suite: Run scripts/palette_audit.py, scripts/contrast_check.py, and scripts/parallax_audit.py after significant visual changes.
Staleness: Visuals are considered "stale" if more than 16 UI/Visual source files have changed since the last capture.

4. Project Health & Quality

Test Coverage: Overall coverage must remain above 70%.
Monolith Prevention: No single source file (.cs) should exceed 250 lines.
Documentation FRESHNESS: Documentation is stale if more than 20 source files have changed. Resolve by providing meaningful content improvements; simply updating the date line is prohibited. When staleness fails, a comprehensive documentation review is mandatory.
