Python source code uses 1-space indentation (not 4-space, not tabs)

1. Indentation and Whitespace

• Indentation: 1 space per level. No tabs.
• Continuation lines: 1 space relative to the opening construct.
• Blank lines: Zero blank lines between function/method definitions within a class. One blank line between top-level definitions only when separating logically distinct sections.
• 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.

From conductor/workflow.md "Code Style":

• 1-space indentation for ALL Python code (NO EXCEPTIONS)
• CRLF line endings on Windows
• NO COMMENTS unless explicitly requested
