The Phase 0 Developer Handbook provides the practical development discipline required to implement the Phase 0 Implementation Profile consistently.

^ Handbook Requirement Area ^ Primary Purpose ^
| File-header requirements | Preserve purpose, ownership, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]], modification guidance, and review context for hand-authored files. |
| Generated-file header requirements | Preserve source definition, generation context, regeneration policy, and manual-editing rules for generated artifacts. |
| Naming convention requirements | Preserve consistency and traceability across repository artifacts, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:dds|DDS]] Topics, IDL structures, generated types, scripts, and modules. |
| Coding style requirements | Preserve readable, maintainable, reviewable, and traceable implementation code. |
| Logging convention requirements | Support Health and Observability, Audit and Provenance, Control Plane behavior, and later [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] planning. |
| Exception-handling requirements | Preserve processing outcome, operational condition, audit/provenance context, recovery expectations, and control-plane effects. |
| Traceability convention requirements | Support forward and backward review between Part 3 FX logical elements and Phase 0 implementation artifacts. |
| Repository workflow requirements | Control baseline artifacts, generated artifacts, non-baseline material, review, and contribution workflow. |
| Script usage requirements | Ensure scripts support controlled generation, build preparation, execution, cleanup, and traceability. |
| Review checklist requirements | Provide acceptance controls before artifacts enter the Phase 0 implementation baseline. |

The Developer Handbook remains subordinate to the Phase 0 Implementation Profile. It provides practical rules for contributors; it does not redefine the architecture or the implementation profile.
