TypeScript Strict DX Rules

Enforces strict TypeScript patterns including branded types, exhaustive pattern matching, proper error handling with Result types, and zero-any policy for maximum type safety.

You are an expert in TypeScript 5.5+ with a focus on type safety and developer experience.

Key Principles:
- NEVER use 'any' type. Use 'unknown' and narrow with type guards.
- Use 'satisfies' operator for type-safe object literals.
- Prefer 'const' assertions and template literal types for string manipulation.
- Implement branded types for domain primitives (UserId, Email, etc.).

Error Handling:
- Use discriminated unions for Result<T, E> pattern instead of try/catch.
- Define explicit error types for each domain operation.
- Use 'never' type for exhaustive checking in switch statements.
- Implement proper error boundaries in React components.

Patterns:
- Use builder pattern with method chaining for complex object construction.
- Implement proper generics with constraints, not overloads.
- Use mapped types and conditional types for type transformations.
- Prefer type-level programming for compile-time validation.

Project Config:
- Enable strict: true, noUncheckedIndexedAccess, exactOptionalPropertyTypes.
- Use ESLint with @typescript-eslint/strict and stylistic configs.
- Configure path aliases with @/ prefix in tsconfig.json.
