+# Pre-commit hooks — embodies the CI/Hook Parity Principle for this repo.
+#
+# Every hook below ALSO runs in CI (via the reusable validate.yml workflow
+# from netresearch/skill-repo-skill). CI is the authoritative backstop;
+# local hooks are pinned by `rev:` and Renovate bumps them automatically.
+#
+# See netresearch/agent-harness-skill references/enforcement-mechanisms.md
+# for the CI/Hook Parity Principle in full.
+#
+# Install once after clone: `pre-commit install --install-hooks`.
+# Bypass (use sparingly): `git commit --no-verify`. If you need this often,
+# the hook is wrong — fix it; don't tolerate the bypass.
