TLDR

Salvages the two unapplied remnants of stale stashes: softens superlative "best Python tooling" landing-page copy to factual claims, and adds a "use your judgment, don't stop to ask" directive to CLAUDE.md.

What Was Added?

  • CLAUDE.md: a new directive — ⚠️ DO NOT STOP TO ASK QUESTIONS. USE YOUR JUDGMENT WITHOUT ASKING THE USER ⚠️.

What Was Changed or Deleted?

website/src/index.njk, problem-statement section only — two copy edits replacing subjective superlatives with factual, defensible wording (consistent with the honesty pass already live on the rest of the page):

  • Statement: "The best Python tooling is locked inside one proprietary VS Code extension" → "Python's default tooling is locked inside one proprietary VS Code extension".
  • Bullet 01: "The best Python tooling is locked to one editor. The most-used Python extension is proprietary…" → "The most-used Python tooling is locked to one editor. The most popular Python extension is proprietary…".

No behaviour, markup structure, classes, or links changed — text content only.

How Do The Automated Tests Prove It Works?

make ci (lint + test + build) ran to completion with exit code 0 — the full Rust lint/test/coverage suite passed and the build's final step reported "✓ VS Code extension compiled". The change is docs/website copy with no code paths, so existing coverage thresholds remain satisfied (no source lines added/removed).

Spec / Doc Changes

  • CLAUDE.md gains one project-wide working-style directive (see "What Was Added").
  • Website landing copy reworded (see "What Was Changed").

Breaking Changes

  • None

Provenance: both edits were recovered from two superseded git stashes whose other content had already landed via the site refresh. The stashes have since been dropped; this PR preserves their only useful unapplied remainder.

Salvaged from stash@{1} (WIP on main). The honesty pass on perf claims
in that stash already landed via the site refresh; this problem-statement
copy softening ('best' -> 'default'/'most-used'/'most popular') was the
only unapplied remainder. Keeps marketing claims factual and consistent
with the rest of the rewritten landing page.
Salvaged from stash@{1} — the remaining unapplied line from that stash.
