name: back-pressure description: Enforce test/type/lint gates before commits

back-pressure

Before any commit, run quality gates for your stack:

Type checking:

• .NET: dotnet build (type errors are build errors)
• TypeScript: tsc --noEmit
• Python: pyright or mypy

Frontend verification:

• Use dev-browser skill to verify UI changes

On failure:

1. Fix the issue and retry
2. Maximum 3 attempts per issue
3. If still failing after 3 attempts → invoke circuit-breaker skill
4. Log all failures to progress.txt with iteration number

Escalation: If circuit-breaker triggers, abandon the current approach and note the blocker in AGENTS.md.
