 ## Code Quality
 
 - Keep the package, distribution, and CLI version in `elydora/_version.py`; build metadata must read that literal through Setuptools dynamic metadata.

 - Support every Python version declared in `pyproject.toml`.
 - Keep production source files at or below 500 lines.
 - Keep functions focused on one ownership boundary.
