Ask: "What happens when N parallel jobs access this simultaneously?" | -| Same logic duplicated across files | When the same block (>10 lines) appears in 2+ places — any language, any context — extract a shared helper immediately. Don't duplicate first and refactor later.

If the answer is more than a one-line addition, the design needs a shared helper or auto-discovery. Avoid hardcoded lists of known variants. | -| Reports generated without actionable detail | Reports and notifications must include enough context to act without digging: error messages, execution context (matrix, commit), history (new vs recurring), and links or attachments for full details.
