## Core Rules

| Rule | Details |
|------|---------|
| **Prefer Record-Triggered Flows** | Over Process Builder (deprecated) and Workflow Rules |
| **Before-Save for field updates** | No DML consumed — free performance |
| **After-Save for related records** | Only when you need DML on other objects or platform events |
| **Fault paths on EVERY DML/callout** | No silent failures |
| **No hardcoded IDs** | Use Custom Labels or Custom Metadata Types |
| **No hardcoded strings** | Use Custom Labels for user-facing text |
