What
Clarify the application patterns that humans and coding agents need when moving beyond generated scaffolds:
make:modeland.db-relationships.yamlwork together, including generation order and repository ownership of joins and preloads;(value, error)returns;304 Not Modifiedresponse;The frontend guidance deliberately avoids an absolute “load everything before rendering” rule. Required page data should be stable before the page presents itself as ready, while genuinely independent regions can still load progressively. Transient indicators are delayed; loaded data is never artificially delayed.
The executable evaluation scenarios and relationship behavior are tracked in GoForj PR #70, with agent guidance and semantic verifiers in Atlas PR #6.
Why
Generated scaffolds establish framework registration, but they do not teach every application-level decision. Without explicit guidance, agents tend to globalize feature data, flash loaders around sub-second requests, return growing tuples, navigate database relationships outside repositories, write durable files to incidental local directories, or serve unchanged media repeatedly.
These pages make the preferred boundaries concrete without turning them into rigid universal rules. The result is guidance that is easier for people to apply, easier for Atlas to retrieve, and aligned with the executable scenarios used to evaluate agent behavior.
