# REPS - Rust Efficiency & Performance Standards
> SUPREME AUTHORITY for this repository.
This is a placeholder. Copy the canonical REPS.md from fsys-rs or error-forge before writing implementation code.
REPS defines:
- Zero-allocation hot path discipline
- Lock-free design where contention matters
- unsafe policy (measured and documented only)
- Forbidden patterns (unwrap, expect, todo, unimplemented, print_stdout, print_stderr, dbg)
- Documentation completeness requirements
- Benchmark discipline
- Cross-platform behavior expectations
