107### Rule 5: Technology Currency — Bleeding Edge Only
120### Rule 5: Technology Currency — Bleeding Edge Only (STRICT — NO EXCEPTIONS)
108121We don't use "good enough" technology. We use the BEST available.
109122- Review all dependencies every session for security vulnerabilities and newer versions
110123- Check if browser APIs have changed (SpeechRecognition, Clipboard, etc.)
111124- If a library we're using has a better alternative, migrate immediately
112125- Stay on latest stable versions of ALL frameworks
113- **NEW**: Mandatory technology choices for 2026 (see Technology Mandate below)
114- **NEW**: If you find deprecated APIs in our code, replace them in the same session
126- **STRICT**: Mandatory technology choices for 2026 (see Technology Mandate below)
127- **STRICT**: If you find deprecated APIs in our code, replace them in the same session
128- **STRICT**: No raw HTML pages. Use React/JSX components for all UI. The ONLY exceptions are files that the platform forces to be HTML (Chrome extension manifest requires popup.html, offscreen.html; Vite requires index.html as SPA entry). These platform-mandated HTML files must be minimal shells that load JS components — no inline styles, no inline scripts, no UI logic in HTML.
129- **STRICT**: No old-generation frameworks, libraries, or patterns. If it was current in 2024 but superseded in 2026, rip it out. We only ship with the most advanced, fastest components available RIGHT NOW.
130- **STRICT**: Every session must audit AI model versions, framework versions, dependency versions, and API versions. If anything is not the latest — upgrade it immediately. No excuses, no delays.

@@ -175,21 +191,35 @@ Every session must follow this protocol:
1751917. **DOCUMENT** — Record what changed and why
1761928. **UPDATE CLAUDE.md** — Record scan results, gaps found, decisions made

194### Rule 13: No Old Technology — Rip It Out, Put In The New (STRICTEST RULE)
195This is the strictest rule in the entire project. No exceptions. No debate.
196- **NO raw HTML for UI**. All user interfaces must use modern component frameworks (React/JSX). The only HTML files allowed are platform-mandated shells (Chrome extension popup.html/offscreen.html, Vite index.html) — and those must be minimal loaders with ZERO UI logic.
197- **NO old frameworks**. If a framework has a newer major version, upgrade immediately. Next.js, React, Tailwind, Vite, ESLint — always latest stable.
198- **NO old AI models**. Always use the latest Claude, Whisper, Deepgram models. Check every session.
199- **NO old API versions**. Anthropic API, OpenAI API, Stripe API — always the latest version header.
200- **NO old dependencies**. Rust crates, npm packages — audit every session. If a newer version exists, upgrade.
201- **NO old Node.js**. CI/CD pipelines must run on the current LTS version.
202- **NO old patterns**. innerHTML is banned in new code — use DOM APIs or component rendering. execCommand() is banned — use modern Selection/Range APIs. var is banned — use const/let. CommonJS require() is banned in frontend — use ES modules.
203- **The standard**: If a component, library, framework, model, or API version was released more than 6 months ago AND a newer version exists — it is OLD and must be replaced.
204- **How to enforce**: Every session starts with a version audit. Every commit must use current technology. If old tech is found during any task, stop and upgrade it BEFORE continuing.
205- **Why**: We are building a professional tool for lawyers, doctors, and executives. They pay for the best. We deliver the best. Old technology is slow technology. Slow technology loses customers. We don't lose customers.
