-# airconsole-appengine/static/api
-
-This subtree is the AppEngine-served copy of the public AirConsole JavaScript API bundle.
-
-## Verification Entry Points
-
-- Browser regression harness: serve this subtree statically and open a versioned runner in `tests/`.
-- Playwright verification: in `ci/`, use `npm run server` and `npm test`.
-
-## Local Invariants
-
-- Keep versioned root bundles backward compatible.
-- Stage upcoming releases in `beta/` before promotion.
-- Do not remove `deprecated/` assets.
-- Never call `rm`, use `safe-rm` instead (brew install safe-rm).
-
-## Read Next
-
-- `tests/AGENTS.md`
-- `ci/AGENTS.md`
-
-## Memory Management
-
-Always use the **Kratos MCP** to manage memory across sessions:
-
-- Store relevant context, decisions, and learnings via `kratos_memory_save` before ending a session.
-- Retrieve prior context at the start of a new session using `kratos_memory_search` or `kratos_memory_get_recent`.
-- Use `kratos_memory_ask` for natural language queries against accumulated memory.
-- Never rely solely on in-context state for information that should persist across sessions.
-
-## Code Access
-
-Always use the **Serena MCP** for reading and writing code:
-
-- Use `serena_find_symbol`, `serena_get_symbols_overview`, and `serena_search_for_pattern` to navigate and understand code.
-- Use `serena_find_referencing_symbols` to find all callers/references before refactoring, and `serena_rename_symbol` to rename a symbol consistently across the codebase.
-- Use `serena_replace_symbol_body`, `serena_replace_content`, `serena_insert_after_symbol`, and `serena_insert_before_symbol` to make code changes.
-- Prefer symbol-level tools over raw text replacement when the target is a named code entity.
-- Always call `serena_check_onboarding_performed` after activating a project.
-
-## Syntax and API Verification
-
-Always use the **Context7 MCP** to verify correct syntax and API usage before writing or modifying code that depends on external libraries:
-
-- Call `context7_resolve-library-id` first to obtain the correct library ID for any framework or package.
-- Call `context7_query-docs` with a specific query to retrieve up-to-date documentation and code examples.
-- Use Context7 before writing code that depends on external library APIs to avoid outdated or hallucinated usage patterns.
+# AirConsole JavaScript API Guidelines
+
+## Scope
+
+This repository contains the public AirConsole browser API bundles. AppEngine
+checks it out as a submodule and serves it through the `static/api` symlink.
+
+Read the nearest child guide before changing the browser regression harness in
+`tests/` or the Playwright harness in `ci/`.
+
+## Compatibility rules
+
+- Treat the released `airconsole-<version>.js` files as public, versioned APIs.
+  Preserve backward compatibility unless the task explicitly changes a supported
+  version contract.
+- Stage the next release in `beta/`; do not overwrite the current released bundle
+  as part of unrelated work.
+- Keep `deprecated/` bundles and old versioned test runners. Existing games may
+  still depend on them.
+- Update `CHANGELOG.md`, version-specific specs, documentation workflow inputs,
+  and every internal reference together when promoting or renaming a bundle.
+- Preserve the browser compatibility and coding style of the bundle being edited.
+  Do not add a new build system or dependency for a focused API change.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Extend the matching Jasmine spec and open its versioned HTML runner under
+  `tests/` using a static server.
+- From `ci/`, run `npm test`. Playwright starts the port 9000 static server through
+  `playwright.config.js`; `npm run server` is available for manual runner checks.
+- Verify both the changed API behavior and compatibility with unchanged public
+  methods. A generated documentation build does not replace browser regression
+  coverage.
