 - **Validate config schema before patching** — Check docs/schema for required fields and valid keys before changing gateway config.
 - **Spam → Trash, Archive → Reference** — Archive is for things worth finding later. Marketing emails have no future value.
 - **Config color values = hex codes** — Not CSS names. Pattern: `^#?[0-9a-fA-F]{6}$` (e.g., `00FF00` not `green`)
+- **Compact data files before committing** — JSON/CSV data files go into git as compact/single-line (`jq -c`), never pretty-printed. Pretty-print is for humans reading; git tracks lines. 854 records ≠ 96K insertions.
