 When configuring audio or running tasks on this device, **always use the 3.5mm headphone jack (Audio Jack)** as the explicit audio output unless requested otherwise. The system might have HDMI devices as lower-index cards, which can cause headless/cron background scripts to fail with ALSA errors. Ensure tools and scripts explicitly target the correct audio card (usually `hw:2,0` or via a user-wide `~/.asoundrc` config).
 
 ## Development Guidelines
-- Follow the principles of TDD (Test-Driven Development), DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), and MVP (Minimum Viable Product).
+**STRICT ADHERENCE to the following guidelines is mandatory for every task. Failure to follow these principles undermines the integrity of the project.**
+
+- **TDD (Test-Driven Development):** Always write tests *before* implementing the actual logic. Follow the Red-Green-Refactor cycle.
+- **DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself):** Minimize redundancy in code and logic.
+- **MVP (Minimum Viable Product):** Implement only what is necessary to meet the requirement.
 - Use `uv` to manage dependencies for Python.
 - Use `uv ruff` to lint the code.
-- Never commit untested code.
-- Only commit when ruff is green.

 ## Pre-commit Rules
 - Always lint the code (`uv ruff`).
