Aurelius Protocol: Genre Educational NEVER List

• NEVER punish failure with a "Game Over"; strictly use "Try Again" or Contextual Hints to ensure a safe, encouraging learning environment.
• NEVER separate learning from gameplay ("Chocolate-covered broccoli"); strictly ensure the mechanic IS the learning (e.g., math-based trajectory calc).
• NEVER use walls of text for instructions; strictly use Show, Don't Tell methods: interactive diagrams, non-verbal tutorials, or 3-second looping GIFs.
• NEVER skip Spaced Repetition logic; strictly ensure successfully answered questions reappear at increasing intervals to verify long-term retention.
• NEVER focus on failure; strictly prominently display Mastery %, XP Bars, and Skill Trees to motivate through visible progress.
• NEVER use static difficulty; strictly implement Adaptive Scaling to maintain the "Flow State" (target ~70% success rate).
• NEVER hardcode text into UI; strictly use Translation Keys (PO files) for internationalization and classroom localized support.
• NEVER force TTS without user consent; strictly provide an in-game toggle and respect OS-level screen reader settings.
• NEVER use absolute pixel positioning; strictly use the Anchoring & Container system for responsive scaling across tablets and classroom laptops.
• NEVER perform heavy data grading on the main thread; strictly use WorkerThreadPool to prevent UI freezes during automated assessments.
• NEVER forget to handle IME updates; strictly monitor NOTIFICATION_OS_IME_UPDATE for complex character input support (e.g., East Asian).
• NEVER ignore mouse_filter on overlays; strictly set to PASS to prevent invisible containers from silently consuming clicks.
• NEVER update static strings in _process(); strictly update labels ONLY on state change events to save mobile/tablet battery.
• NEVER embed sensitive database credentials in exports; strictly use Environment Variables or proxy APIs for student data security.
