v1

Why this iteration: Lifted verbatim from conductor/code_styleguides/chroma_cache.md §"The Rule" + §"The Pre-Cleanup Pattern" (lines 5-50). This is the baseline encoding — the rule-plus-rationale-plus-anti-patterns style currently in production. Future variants will test alternative encodings (rule-only, before/after) against this baseline. Source: conductor/code_styleguides/chroma_cache.md:5-50
