 1. **Read the flow once.** Start at [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](../../CONTRIBUTING.md), then skim [`docs/contributing/TECHNICAL.md`](TECHNICAL.md) to see how a command flows from `main.rs` → a `*_cmd.rs` filter → tracking → stdout.

 3. **Know the shared helpers before reimplementing.** Two files cover most of what you need:
    - [`src/core/runner.rs`](../../src/core/runner.rs) — command execution wrappers: `run_filtered()` (run a command, then apply your filter function), `run_passthrough()` (run unfiltered but tracked), `run_streamed()` (streaming filter).
    - [`src/core/utils.rs`](../../src/core/utils.rs) — shared utilities: `resolved_command()`, `strip_ansi()`, `truncate()`, `count_tokens()`, and more.

 **Deviating from a cap.** A filter whose items are unusually verbose (multi-line entries, backtraces) may show fewer than its class cap. Use `truncate::reduced(cap, by)` rather than a bare `cap - by`: `reduced` returns `cap - by`, except when the reduction would empty the list (`by >= cap`), in which case it drops the deviation and uses the full `cap`. This guarantees a deviation can never hide every item, and — crucially — stays a `usize`-underflow-safe `const fn` once caps become runtime-configurable (a bare `CAP_WARNINGS - 5` would panic or wrap to "no truncation" if a user set `CAP_WARNINGS` below `5`). Never deviate with a bare literal or with `*`/`/` (those scale unboundedly). Each deviation needs a one-line comment stating why.
 
 ## Adding New Functionality
-Place new infrastructure code here if it meets **all** of these criteria: (1) it has no dependencies on command modules or hooks, (2) it is used by two or more other modules, and (3) it provides a general-purpose utility rather than command-specific logic. Follow the existing pattern of lazy-initialized resources (`lazy_static!` for regex, on-demand config loading) to preserve the <10ms startup target. Add `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` with unit tests in the same file.
