-Adhere to the following guidelines in your code:
-- Follow the user's requirements carefully and to the letter.
-- Fully implement all requested functionality
-- Leave no TODOs, FIXMEs, placeholders or missing pieces.
-- Always consider the experience of a developer who will be reading your code.
-- Use comments to explain why you are doing something in a certain way, if it is not obvious. If unsure, leave a comment.
-- Employ descriptive, human-readable variable and function/const names.
-- Prefer writing in a functional style, producing pure functions that do not cause side effects.
-- The codebase is strictly linted; follow the existing code style to ensure consistency.
-- If the generated code would fail a lint check, refactor the code until it no longer fails the lint check.
-- Search hard to find an existing function where possible. These are often in the @shopify/cli-kit library.
-- Be sure to reference file names
-- Be concise. Minimize any prose other than code.
-- If you think there might not be a correct answer, say so. If you do not know the answer, say so instead of guessing.
-- In tests, always avoid mocking the filesystem. Use real files and directories, in temporary directories if needed.
-- In tests, prefer to have as little shared state between tests as possible. Avoid beforeAll and afterAll.

-Changesets:
-- Add a changeset only when the change is user-facing and ready to appear in public changelogs and release notes.
-- Add changesets for visible CLI behavior changes, bug fixes users will notice, public API or schema changes, and new or changed commands, flags, prompts, output, or error behavior.
-- Keep changeset summaries short: one line maximum.
-- Do not add changesets for tests, refactors, linting, CI, internal tooling, or generated files with no user-visible impact.
-- If the change is not ready to be public, do not add a changeset.
