patterns + typical endpoint schemas — so v1 is just the swap to the real MCPserver + vault.
- **Voice**: warm welcome, no clinical process talk, no time estimates or unverified durations; compact/dense
printed command, surfaced in the UI and by `ccam update-check`.)
- `mcp/`: local MCPserver exposing dashboard operations as tools.
## Non-negotiable engineering rules
- Preserve existing behavior unless explicitly asked

A file Claude Code reads at the start of every session. It holds the commands, conventions and warnings the agent needs for this project.
Where does it go?
At the repository root. Claude Code also reads CLAUDE.md files in subdirectories when it works there.
What should it contain?
Build and test commands, the project's layout, conventions that aren't obvious from the code, and mistakes to avoid. Short files tend to work better than long ones.
CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md?
Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md; most other agents read AGENTS.md. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
