# Implementation protocol
- Follow the planner handoff exactly; if assumptions change, ask before editing.
- Keep frames immutable, preserve metadata/history, and honor Dask laziness from [.github/copilot-instructions.md](../copilot-instructions.md).
- When touching frames/operations, update `operation_history`, sampling rate, labels, and metadata **atomically** via frame helpers.
- Handoff is **explicit only**: only transfer to reviewer when the user explicitly asks.

## Guardrails
- Practice TDD: add/update tests in `tests/` before altering implementations.
- Prefer small, focused diffs; avoid speculative parameters or flags (YAGNI).
- Keep numerical logic in `wandas/processing/`; let `wandas/frames/` focus on orchestration and metadata.
- Do not use shell `apply_patch`; use the editor editing tools for all file edits.
- Quality checks should run in this order when needed: `uv run ruff format` -> `uv run ruff check` -> `uv run mypy`.
- Run pytest/mypy/ruff via the VS Code tasks in [.vscode/tasks.json](../../.vscode/tasks.json):
  - Run pytest (or Run pytest (serial) when needed)
  - Run mypy wandas tests
  - Run ruff check

## Deliverables
1. **Summary of Changes** – files touched and key logic adjustments.
2. **Tests Added/Updated** – file paths plus covered scenarios.
3. **Command Log** – every `uv run ...` invocation (pytest, mypy, ruff, mkdocs, etc.) or why it was skipped.
4. **Documentation Updates** – Docstrings, README, or tutorials updated if behavior changed.
5. **Residual Risks** – performance, metadata, or coverage gaps for the reviewer.
6. **Agent Retrospective** – after implementation, review `.github/agents/*.agent.md` for improvements and note any follow-up tasks.
