# Agent Guidelines

## Backend Update Rules

> **IMPORTANT**: On every backend update (controllers, models, routes, database changes), you MUST update `README.md` accordingly.

### Documentation Updates Required For:
1. **New API endpoints** - Add to API documentation
2. **Database schema changes** - Update schema docs
3. **New features** - Document in appropriate section
4. **Configuration changes** - Update technical stack or setup instructions

### V2 Frontend Updates

For any changes to the `/v2` hidden frontend, update the dedicated documentation at:
- `app/Views/v2/README.md`

This keeps V2 changes separate from the main README to avoid exposing the hidden UI to the team.

## Workflow Preferences
- Use 2-space indentation for all code
- Follow existing code patterns and naming conventions
- Always test changes before committing
