NASA Power of 10 Rule 1 — Restrict control flow to simple constructs (no goto, setjmp/longjmp, recursion). Severity: blocker.
NASA Power of 10 Rule 2 — Every loop must have a statically determinable upper bound. Severity: blocker.
NASA Power of 10 Rule 3 — No dynamic memory allocation after initialization. Severity: blocker.
NASA Power of 10 Rule 4 — Functions ≤60 lines (one printed page). Severity: high.
NASA Power of 10 Rule 6 — Declare data at smallest possible scope. Severity: medium.
NASA Power of 10 Rule 7 — Check every non-void return value; validate every parameter. Severity: blocker.

Severity: high
Use a minimum of two runtime assertions per function on average across a translation unit. Assertions must have no side effects and must trigger a defined recovery path (not be stripped) in release builds.
Assertions catch what static analysis cannot: violated preconditions, impossible states, broken invariants. Forcing the author to write ~2 per function makes them think through boundaries explicitly.
assert(x++ > 0))NDEBUG, -O for Python)Error handling for expected failures (network down, file missing) — that's normal control flow, not an assertion.
At function entry: validate every parameter against domain constraints. Before mutation: check state invariants. After mutation: check postconditions. Each assertion is a single boolean expression with a meaningful failure message.
