Quick Start

Step 0 — Read the FAQ.md Before you begin, check the FAQ for instructions on Git Issues, creating PRs, and common troubleshooting tips.

Step 1 — Clone this repo Clone this repo, create a branch, and push to submit your work via Pull Request.

Step 2 — Create your branch — one branch for the entire session Name it exactly:

git checkout -b participant/[your-name]-techm
# Example: participant/arshdeep-techm

One branch. All four UCs. The whole session. Do not create a new branch per UC — all your work goes into this single branch. Your commit history is your evidence trail. Tutors read it in chronological order to follow your CRAFT loop across UC-0A through UC-X.

Step 3 — Confirm your environment

python --version          # Must be 3.9+
git --version             # Must be installed
python -c "import csv, json; print('Ready')"

Step 4 — Confirm data files are present

data/city-test-files/    test_pune.csv
                         test_hyderabad.csv
                         test_kolkata.csv
                         test_ahmedabad.csv

data/policy-documents/   policy_hr_leave.txt
                         policy_it_acceptable_use.txt
                         policy_finance_reimbursement.txt

data/budget/             ward_budget.csv

Commit Message Standard

Every commit must follow this format:

[UC-ID] Fix [what]: [why it failed] → [what you changed]

Good examples:

UC-0A Fix severity blindness: no keywords in enforcement → added injury/child/school/hospital triggers
UC-0B Fix clause omission: completeness not enforced → added every-numbered-clause rule
UC-0C Fix silent aggregation: no scope in enforcement → restricted to per-ward per-category only
UC-X  Fix cross-doc blending: no single-source rule → added single-source attribution enforcement

Minimum 4 commits — one per UC — all on the same branch. Messages like update, done, fix, wip, final will be flagged during review.

Your commit history tells the story of your CRAFT loop. A reviewer reading it in order should be able to see: what failed, what you changed, and why — for each UC.
