description	Ingestion architecture and implementation principles. Use for design, review, meaningful refactoring, Azure integration, document security, testing, or operational changes.

Ingestion engineering principles

Load only the references needed for the task:

When the task involves	Read
Repository purpose, pipeline boundaries, sources, chunking, jobs, or Search	Ingestion architecture
Python design, async behavior, modules, or maintainability	Python implementation
Tests, validation, compatibility, or evidence	Testing and evidence
Identity, ACLs, secrets, source data, audit, or operations	Security, data, and operations

Use these principles as design questions, not dogma. Task requirements, executable configuration, versioned contracts, and current behavior remain the sources of truth.
