Context

CONTRIBUTING.md (PR #525) establishes a hard 10-line net addition limit. This ticket adds automated enforcement.

Requirements

Webhook or CI check that runs on every PR:
- git diff --stat main..HEAD → parse insertions/deletions
- If net additions > 10, block merge and comment with the violation
- Exceptions: files matching requirements*.txt, package*.json, *.lock (dependency config bootstrap)
PR template (.gitea/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md) requiring:
- Net line diff section
- Manual test plan section
- Automated test results section
Pre-push hook (optional, advisory) that warns locally before push

Acceptance Criteria

A PR with net +15 lines is blocked with a clear message
A PR with net +8 lines passes
Dependency config files are excluded from the count
PR template auto-populates on new PRs

Note

PRs #514 and #516 from this session both violated this policy retroactively. This is the bootstrap exception — the rule didn't exist yet. Going forward, zero exceptions.

Closing during the 2026-03-28 backlog burn-down.

Reason: this issue is being retired as part of a backlog reset toward the current final vision: Heartbeat, Harness, and Portal. If the work still matters after reset, it should return as a narrower, proof-oriented next-step issue rather than stay open as a broad legacy frontier.
