## Reading Constraints

- Max pages per read invocation: 15

- Max pages per conversation: 90

- Always complete reading notes before modifying chapters

## Writing Principles

- Read first, write later — finish reading notes before editing chapters

- Each source must have an independent notes file in `literature/reading_notes/`

- Use British English for thesis text

- Notes files follow the standardised format (see `literature/reading_notes/_template_NOTES.md`)
