## Code style

**Tabs** for indentation, **LF** line endings — enforced by **Spotless**. The `ratchetFrom = origin/stage` ratchet is **file-level, not line-level**: it checks every file that differs from `origin/stage` and reformats each such file *in full*, so editing even one line of a file whose existing indentation doesn't conform (e.g. a layout XML using 4 spaces) pulls the **whole file** under the ratchet and requires reindenting it to tabs — a one-line edit can become a whole-file reformat. Java uses the **Eclipse** formatter (`spotless.eclipse-java.xml`, with member sorting + import ordering); Kotlin and `*.gradle.kts` use **ktlint**; XML uses the **Eclipse WTP** formatter. Run `./gradlew spotlessApply` to fix formatting before pushing — the `.githooks` pre-push hook does this automatically once hooks are installed and enabled (`sh ./scripts/install-git-hooks.sh`, no conflicting `core.hooksPath`). Branch names must match `.../ADFA-#####` (3–5 digits) — see CONTRIBUTING.md; a pre-commit hook enforces it (`sh ./scripts/install-git-hooks.sh`).

That reformat is reviewer noise: commit it **standalone** (`style: spotless reformat, no functional change`), never `--amend`ed into a behavioral commit and never mixed with one. Better, do it *first* — append a blank line to each file you are about to touch (this enrolls it in the ratchet; `endWithNewline()` strips it back out), run `spotlessApply`, commit that, then make the functional change against an already-conforming file.

Use the required Flox wrapper for spotlessApply.

Line 66 documents bare ./gradlew spotlessApply, but Lines 11-15 require every Gradle invocation to use flox activate -d flox/local --. Document flox activate -d flox/local -- ./gradlew spotlessApply to keep the workflow consistent.

In `@CLAUDE.md` at line 66, Update the Spotless command documented in the
formatting workflow to invoke Gradle through the required Flox wrapper, changing
the bare spotlessApply invocation to use “flox activate -d flox/local --
./gradlew spotlessApply” while preserving the surrounding hook guidance.
