Dependency Management

Required Read

• Before writing code, selecting, installing or changing dependencies and manifests, or relying on a dependency carve-out, or relying on any exception to this rule, read skills/coding-contracts/references/dependency-management.md in full.
• Its full text and named sections bind as rule content.
• Resolve the reference within its owning installed plugin.
• Missing or unreadable content stops the affected action until the plugin is repaired.
• Read explicitly when triggered.
• Never @-import the reference.

Boundary

• Prefer stdlib.
• Declare and pin dependencies with a renewal mechanism.
• Never vendor this repository's dependencies.
• A floating exception needs every binding precondition.
