This repo is managed by RepoMan. Managers wired in: copy git.
Run everything inside devenv shell. Exit codes: 0 ok · 1 decision · 2 infra/config · 3 usage.
Never invoke pytest / ruff / git / copier directly — go through the manager (or repoman).
scaffold → change → save

save on a red verify.repoman doctor (all managers) · repoman status (state) · repoman managers (what's wired).Use when writing a scripts/tasks/processes entry or a manager module. Covers which surface to use, guarding enterShell echoes, and the 0/1/2/3 exit contract.
Use when editing devenv.yaml or adding an input/import. Covers flake:false for modules, nixpkgs-python for version pins, and transitive inputs.
Use when you edited a modules/ file, devenv.nix, or env.* and nothing changed. Resolves the lock + eval-cache staleness loop.
Use when starting a server or any long-running / heavy task. Use processes + devenv up; don't block the shell; poll logs instead of piping out of view.
Use on ModuleNotFoundError or import failures inside the devenv shell, or after a fresh venv. The venv exists but deps may not be installed.
Use when about to run pytest, python, uv, ruff, or any build/tooling command in this repo. Enforces running through the devenv shell.
