A4D rule — no node -e; use replace_in_file / write_to_file only	true

A4D Enforcement: No node -e

This project forbids using "node -e" for any operation (file manipulation, string replacement, reading/writing configs, shell automation).

Policy:

• Never use "node -e" one-liners.
• Use replace_in_file or write_to_file for code/config edits.
• Use jq/sed/awk cautiously when needed; prefer replace_in_file for deterministic edits.
• For JSON edits: prefer write_to_file after reading, or replace_in_file with precise diffs.
• For ESLint/TS config changes: edit files directly via write_to_file or replace_in_file.

Rationale:

• Ensures reproducibility and auditability.
• Avoids shell escaping bugs and cross-platform inconsistencies.
• Aligns with project reliability protocol.

Violation handling:

• If any prior step used "node -e", revert and redo using write_to_file or replace_in_file.

Cross-reference: This rule is also summarized in webapp.md (MUST FOLLOW #1). Both apply.
