 - **Trailing whitespace:** None.
 - **Rationale:** 1-space indentation reduces token count by ~40% compared to 4-space on deeply nested GUI code, with no loss of structural clarity for AST-based tools.
 
+### Maximum Nesting Depth
+
+- **Hard limit: 4 levels maximum.**
+- AI agents consistently misinterpret Python scope via indentation. This hard limit prevents deeply nested blocks that confuse model interpretation.
+- **Enforcement:** Use ruff `max-c复-depth = 4` or flake8 `max-c复-depth = 4` in the project linter config.
+- **Refactoring mandate:** Any block exceeding 3 levels must be extracted into a named function. Do not "work around" this with tricks—extract the logic.
+- **Rationale:** GUI callbacks and async handlers naturally want to nest. This constraint forces extraction of deep logic into testable, named units.

 ## 2. Type Annotations
 
 - **All functions and methods** must have return type annotations.
