Windsurf Rules Character Limits: 6,000 and 12,000

Windsurf's .windsurf/rules/ directory (supporting Always On, Manual via @, or Model Decision scopes) enforces strict character limits: a maximum of 6,000 characters per individual rule file and 12,000 characters for total combined active rules. Keep individual .md rule files compact and use Manual or Model Decision scopes so active rules stay under 12,000 characters.

- All API controllers must return the standard response envelope: { status: "ok" | "error", data: ..., traceId: string }.
