- Reorganize rules into reusable general behavior vs kernbench-specific
foundations + rules
- Add Surfacing Choices, Coding Style (Simplicity First, Surgical Changes),
Mental Model, Common Failure Modes
- Clarify Phase 1 forbidden vs permitted-for-discussion (pseudocode,
sketches allowed; final ready-to-apply diffs are Phase 2 only)
- Tighten dead-code handling: mention + options before deletion
- Drop redundant "SPEC.md and ADRs are the final authority" from
Enforcement Defaults (already in Authority & Scope)
