prototype

# Prototype Prototype = throwaway code answering one question. ## Pick branch - Logic/state question -> [LOGIC.md](LOGIC.md): tiny terminal app, push state machine through hard cases. - UI question -> [UI.md](UI.md): several variants on one route, switchable by URL/search param + floating controls. If ambiguous and user absent: infer from code. Backend/module -> logic. Page/component -> UI. State assumption. ## Rules 1. Mark throwaway clearly. Keep near target code. 2. One command to run. 3. No persistence unless question needs it. Scratch DB/file only, clearly wipeable. 4. Skip polish: no tests, minimal errors, no abstractions. 5. Surface full relevant state after each action/switch. 6. When answered: delete or absorb into real code. ## Done Capture answer + original question in commit msg, ADR, issue, or local notes. Prototype itself should not rot.
