# Agent Instructions

`CLAUDE.md` is the source of truth for this repository.

Before doing project work, read `CLAUDE.md` and follow it. If anything in this
file appears to conflict with `CLAUDE.md`, treat `CLAUDE.md` as authoritative
and update this file rather than carrying a second version of the rules.

## Codex Notes

- Keep this file as a thin bridge for agent tooling that discovers
  `AGENTS.md`. Do not duplicate the full project state, roadmap, memory
  protocol, launch workflow, or domain reference tables here.
- The project goal is `acdream`: a modern open-source C#/.NET 10 Asheron's
  Call client whose behavior faithfully tracks the retail client while using a
  modern architecture.
- Align all code and planning work with the architecture document named in
  `CLAUDE.md`, the current milestones/roadmap docs, and the relevant memory
  digests before touching a subsystem.
- Treat `GameWindow.cs` as runtime wiring. New substantial behavior belongs in
  dedicated controllers, sinks, orchestrators, or Core/UI abstractions according
  to the layer rules in `CLAUDE.md`.
- For AC-specific algorithms, wire formats, constants, coordinates, rendering,
  physics, movement, UI, audio, chat, plugin behavior, or dat handling, read the
  references named in `CLAUDE.md` before implementing. Do not guess.
- Fix root causes. Do not ship workaround guards, retry loops, grace periods,
  suppressions, or symptom masks without explicit approval.
- Continue autonomously through implementation, build/test verification, docs,
  memory updates, and commits when appropriate. The main reason to stop is when
  visual confirmation from the user is the actual acceptance test.
