For every change to Python code, do not consider the task complete until both commands pass from the repository root:
pylint $(git ls-files 'bink/*.py')
python -m unittest discover -vFix pylint findings in the code; do not silence them with broad disables or configuration changes unless the warning is demonstrably inapplicable.
Do not create, update, or publish a release while either check fails. Run the same checks again immediately before committing or handing off a release.
