PureXML Rules

Load these rules before changing code:

• code-style.md
• namespacing.md
• cross-platform.md
• testing.md
• verification.md
• commits.md
• research-first.md

Project-specific overrides:

• PureXML uses a root Package.swift.
• Sources live directly under Sources.
• Tests live in Tests (test target PureXMLTests).
• Package.swift must keep dependencies: [].
• Public API must live under the PureXML namespace tree.
• The package must build on macOS, Linux, Windows, and WASI.
• Validation coverage gates: docs/validation-coverage-registry.txt (public types), docs/validation-field-registry.txt (document/subject fields), enforced by scripts/check-validation-coverage.sh and scripts/check-validation-fields.sh.

The broader rule files are retained for detailed guidance. When they include generic examples, apply the PureXML-specific overrides above.

Canonical Swift rules live at /Volumes/Code/DeveloperExt/private/rules-swift (especially validation-rules.md and parsing-rules.md). Prefer that source when docs/rules/ copies drift.
