====== 15.2 Purpose of the Developer Handbook ======

[[fxdemo:04-part:15-phase-0-developer-handbook-requirements:start | Go To Phase 0 Developer Handbook Requirements ]]

The Phase 0 Developer Handbook provides the required development conventions for producing Phase 0 implementation artifacts.

The handbook must help contributors:

  - Create files with consistent headers and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]] metadata
  - Distinguish generated artifacts from hand-authored artifacts
  - Follow approved naming conventions
  - Follow approved coding style
  - Use logging consistently
  - Handle exceptions consistently
  - Preserve [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:runtime_plane|Runtime Plane]] distinctions in implementation behavior
  - Follow repository workflow
  - Run approved scripts correctly
  - Avoid uncontrolled prototype code
  - Prepare artifacts for later deployment, testability, observation, and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] planning

The handbook turns implementation discipline into repeatable developer practice.
