+## Keyboard-First Principle (mandatory for every new feature)
+
+Every feature must be reachable via keyboard. This is both a UX requirement and a QA requirement — Brian tests the native app using keyboard only (osascript key events, no mouse).
+
+**Before marking any task done:**
+- Can the feature be triggered/used without touching the mouse?
+- If it requires clicking a button, add a command palette entry or keyboard shortcut
+- Document the shortcut in the command palette or menu bar
+
+**If you add UI that is only reachable by mouse**, you must also add a keyboard path (command palette entry, shortcut, or Tab-navigable focus). No exceptions.
