Services for a working application.

Look up the BASIC contract, then follow a complete workflow. A public CLR helper is not automatically a BASIC API.

Keep distributable resources separate from writable user state. Settings is a scalar preference store, not a credential vault.

File operations use strict UTF-8 or byte arrays. Output directories must exist; the application bundle is read-only.

Native interactions can be cancelled or denied. Check returned values before doing the next operation.

Separate transport failure, HTTP status and response-body validation. Async functions require Await from an Async procedure.

JsonValue represents a JSON document or subtree; Json.Value extracts a scalar.

Own the database lifetime, apply migrations first and use parameterized commands for entered values.

A loaded result, an editable draft and committed database state are different things.

Read the indexing and ownership rules instead of assuming every collection works like an array.

Choose a declared report resource or an explicit recordset, then select the output action.

Use structured errors to preserve cleanup, and assertions to record behavior that must remain true.

Project, package and local distribution commands.
