+## Commit Discipline (Constitution Principle X)
+
+- [ ] Each commit is atomic and independently revertable
+- [ ] Conventional commit format used: `type(scope): description`
+- [ ] Commit messages explain WHY, not WHAT
+- [ ] No WIP commits (squashed before submission)
+- [ ] Line counts within thresholds (bugfix ≤150, feat-small ≤300, feat-medium ≤500, refactor ≤400)
+- [ ] PR total is under 600 lines — or justification below:
+
+<!-- If PR exceeds 600 lines or a threshold, explain why it cannot be split: -->
+
+## Quality
+
+- [ ] Tests added or updated for all changes
+- [ ] `make lint` passes
+- [ ] `npm run build` passes (frontend)
+- [ ] `go vet ./...` passes (Go components)
+- [ ] `python -m pytest tests/` passes (runner)
+- [ ] No `any` types in frontend TypeScript (frontend)
+- [ ] No `panic()` in Go production code (Go components)
+- [ ] OwnerReferences set on any new child Kubernetes resources (if applicable)
+- [ ] User-facing ops use `GetK8sClientsForRequest()`, not the service account (if applicable)
+
+## Documentation
+
+- [ ] `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md` updated if conventions changed
+- [ ] API changes documented
+- [ ] Breaking changes noted in PR description
+
+## Security
+
+- [ ] No secrets, tokens, or API keys committed
+- [ ] `SecurityContext` set on any new container specs (`runAsNonRoot`, drop `ALL` caps, `readOnlyRootFilesystem`)
