- If you have trouble generating safe, efficient, maintainable, and lint-free code, insert a `TODO` comment describing what should happen.
- All imported types, constants, functions, modules, and macros should be imported explicitly. Never import `*`.
- Do not modify generated code, found in `generated` subdirectories. These files are generated by external tools and should not be edited manually.
- When searching for function call chains in Rust code, be aware that rustfmt often formats method chains across multiple lines like `obj\n .foo()\n .bar()`. Use multi-line search patterns (e.g., `rg` with `-U` flag) or search for individual method names rather than complete call chains.
