+# Code Style & Conventions
+
+## Rust Style Configuration
+The project uses **rustfmt** with a custom configuration (`rustfmt.toml`):
+
+### Key Formatting Rules
+- **Edition**: 2021
+- **Braces**: `PreferSameLine` for structs/enums, `AlwaysSameLine` for control flow
+- **Function Layout**: `Tall` (each parameter on its own line for long signatures)
+- **Single-line Functions**: Disabled (`fn_single_line = false`)
+- **Imports**:
+  - Grouping: `StdExternalCrate` (std, external, then local)
+  - Layout: `Vertical` (one import per line)
+  - Granularity: `Crate` level
+  - Reorder: Enabled
+- **Comments**:
+  - Width: 80 characters
+  - Wrapping: Enabled
+  - Format code in doc comments: Enabled
+- **Doc Attributes**: Normalized (`normalize_doc_attributes = true`)
+- **Impl Items**: Reordered (`reorder_impl_items = true`)
+- **Match Arms**: Leading pipes always shown
+- **Hex Literals**: Lowercase
+
+### Applying Formatting
+```bash
+# Format all code
+cargo fmt
+
+# Check without modifying
+cargo fmt -- --check
+```
+
+## Naming Conventions
+
+### Rust Standard Conventions
+- **Types** (structs, enums, traits): `PascalCase`
+  - Example: `EngineBridge`, `PersistenceConfig`, `SessionId`
+- **Functions & Methods**: `snake_case`
+  - Example: `run_executor()`, `get_database_path()`
+- **Constants**: `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE`
+  - Example: `APP_NAME`, `DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE`
+- **Variables**: `snake_case`
+  - Example: `engine_bridge`, `db_path_str`
+- **Modules**: `snake_case`
+  - Example: `debug_ui`, `engine_bridge`
+- **Crates**: `kebab-case` in Cargo.toml, `snake_case` in code
+  - Example: `sync-macros` → `sync_macros`
+
+### Project-Specific Patterns
+- **Platform modules**: `platform/desktop/`, `platform/ios/`
+- **Plugin naming**: Suffix with `Plugin` (e.g., `EngineBridgePlugin`, `CameraPlugin`)
+- **Resource naming**: Prefix with purpose (e.g., `PersistenceConfig`, `SessionManager`)
+- **System naming**: Suffix with `_system` for Bevy systems
+- **Bridge pattern**: Use `Bridge` suffix for inter-component communication (e.g., `EngineBridge`)
+
+## Code Organization
+
+### Module Structure
+```rust
+// Public API first
+pub mod engine;
+pub mod networking;
+pub mod persistence;
+
+// Internal modules
+mod debug_ui;
+mod platform;
+
+// Re-exports for convenience
+pub use engine::{EngineCore, EngineBridge};
+```
+
+### Import Organization
+```rust
+// Standard library
+use std::sync::Arc;
+use std::thread;
+
+// External crates (grouped by crate)
+use bevy::prelude::*;
+use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
+use tokio::runtime::Runtime;
+
+// Internal crates
+use libmarathon::engine::EngineCore;
+use libmarathon::platform;
+
+// Local modules
+use crate::camera::*;
+use crate::debug_ui::DebugUiPlugin;
+```
+
+## Documentation
+
+### Doc Comments
+- Use `///` for public items
+- Use `//!` for module-level documentation
+- Include examples where helpful
+- Document panics, errors, and safety considerations
+
+```rust
+/// Creates a new engine bridge for communication between Bevy and EngineCore.
+///
+/// # Returns
+///
+/// A tuple of `(EngineBridge, EngineHandle)` where the bridge goes to Bevy
+/// and the handle goes to EngineCore.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```no_run
+/// let (bridge, handle) = EngineBridge::new();
+/// app.insert_resource(bridge);
+/// // spawn EngineCore with handle
+/// ```
+pub fn new() -> (EngineBridge, EngineHandle) {
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+### Code Comments
+- Keep line comments at 80 characters or less
+- Explain *why*, not *what* (code should be self-documenting for the "what")
+- Use `// TODO:` for temporary code that needs improvement
+- Use `// SAFETY:` before unsafe blocks to explain invariants
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Library Code (libmarathon)
+- Use `thiserror` for custom error types
+- Return `Result<T, Error>` from fallible functions
+- Provide context with error chains
+
+```rust
+use thiserror::Error;
+
+#[derive(Error, Debug)]
+pub enum EngineError {
+    #[error("failed to connect to peer: {0}")]
+    ConnectionFailed(String),
+    #[error("database error: {0}")]
+    Database(#[from] rusqlite::Error),
+}
+```
+
+### Application Code (app)
+- Use `anyhow::Result` for application-level error handling
+- Add context with `.context()` or `.with_context()`
+
+```rust
+use anyhow::{Context, Result};
+
+fn load_config() -> Result<Config> {
+    let path = get_config_path()
+        .context("failed to determine config path")?;
+    
+    std::fs::read_to_string(&path)
+        .with_context(|| format!("failed to read config from {:?}", path))?
+        // ...
+}
+```
+
+## Async/Await Style
+
+### Tokio Runtime Usage
+- Spawn blocking tasks in background threads
+- Use `tokio::spawn` for async tasks
+- Prefer `async fn` over `impl Future`
+
+```rust
+// Good: Clear async function
+async fn process_events(&mut self) -> Result<()> {
+    // ...
+}
+
+// Background task spawning
+std::thread::spawn(move || {
+    let rt = tokio::runtime::Runtime::new().unwrap();
+    rt.block_on(async {
+        core.run().await;
+    });
+});
+```
+
+## Testing Conventions
+
+### Test Organization
+- Unit tests: In same file as code (`#[cfg(test)] mod tests`)
+- Integration tests: In `tests/` directory
+- Benchmarks: In `benches/` directory
+
+### Test Naming
+- Use descriptive names: `test_sync_between_two_nodes`
+- Use `should_` prefix for behavior tests: `should_reject_invalid_input`
+
+```rust
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod tests {
+    use super::*;
+
+    #[test]
+    fn test_engine_bridge_creation() {
+        let (bridge, handle) = EngineBridge::new();
+        // ...
+    }
+
+    #[tokio::test]
+    async fn should_sync_state_across_peers() {
+        // ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Platform-Specific Code
+
+### Feature Gates
+```rust
+// iOS-specific code
+#[cfg(target_os = "ios")]
+use tracing_oslog::OsLogger;
+
+// Desktop-specific code
+#[cfg(not(target_os = "ios"))]
+use tracing_subscriber::fmt;
+```
+
+### Platform Modules
+- Keep platform-specific code in `platform/` modules
+- Provide platform-agnostic interfaces when possible
+- Use feature flags: `desktop`, `ios`, `headless`
+
+## Logging
+
+### Use Structured Logging
+```rust
+use tracing::{debug, info, warn, error};
+
+// Good: Structured with context
+info!(path = %db_path, "opening database");
+debug!(count = peers.len(), "connected to peers");
+
+// Avoid: Plain string
+info!("Database opened at {}", db_path);
+```
+
+### Log Levels
+- `error!`: System failures requiring immediate attention
+- `warn!`: Unexpected conditions that are handled
+- `info!`: Important state changes and milestones
+- `debug!`: Detailed diagnostic information
+- `trace!`: Very verbose, rarely needed
+
+## RFCs and Design Documentation
+
+### When to Write an RFC
+- Architectural decisions affecting multiple parts
+- Choosing between significantly different approaches
+- Introducing new protocols or APIs
+- Making breaking changes
+
+### RFC Structure (see `docs/rfcs/README.md`)
+- Narrative-first explanation
+- Trade-offs and alternatives
+- API examples (not full implementations)
+- Open questions
+- Success criteria
+
+## Git Commit Messages
+
+### Format
+```
+Brief summary (50 chars or less)
+
+More detailed explanation if needed. Wrap at 72 characters.
+
+- Use bullet points for multiple changes
+- Reference issue numbers: #123
+
+Explains trade-offs, alternatives considered, and why this approach
+was chosen.
+```
+
+### Examples
+```
+Add CRDT synchronization over iroh-gossip
+
+Implements the protocol described in RFC 0001. Uses vector clocks
+for causal ordering and merkle trees for efficient reconciliation.
+
+- Add VectorClock type
+- Implement GossipBridge for peer communication
+- Add integration tests for two-peer sync
+```

+
+## Key Patterns
+- **ECS Architecture**: Uses Bevy's Entity Component System
+- **Platform Abstraction**: Separate executors for desktop/iOS
+- **Engine-UI Separation**: `EngineCore` runs in background thread, communicates via `EngineBridge`
+- **CRDT-based Sync**: All shared state uses CRDTs for conflict-free merging
+- **RFC-driven Design**: Major decisions documented in `docs/rfcs/`

+gh label create "epic" --description "Large body of work spanning multiple features" --color "3E4B9E"
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- The marathon repository has 12 labels defined, all with the `area/` prefix
+- The `epic` label is referenced in the epic.yml issue template but hasn't been created yet in either marathon or aspen
+- All area labels use distinct colors for easy visual identification

+## File System Operations
+
+### Finding Files
+```bash
+# Standard Unix find (works on macOS)
+find . -name "*.rs"
+find . -type f -name "Cargo.toml"
+
+# macOS Spotlight search (faster for indexed content)
+mdfind -name "rustfmt.toml"
+mdfind "kind:rust-source"
+
+# Locate database (if enabled)
+locate pattern
+```
+
+### Listing & Viewing
+```bash
+# List with details
+ls -la
+ls -lh  # human-readable sizes
+ls -lhS # sorted by size
+ls -lht # sorted by modification time
+
+# View file contents
+cat file.txt
+head -20 file.txt
+tail -50 file.txt
+less file.txt  # paginated view
+
+# Quick Look (macOS-specific)
+qlmanage -p file.txt  # preview file
+```
+
+### Directory Navigation
+```bash
+cd /path/to/directory
+cd ~              # home directory
+cd -              # previous directory
+pwd               # print working directory
+pushd /path       # push to directory stack
+popd              # pop from directory stack
+```
+
+## Text Processing
+
+### Searching in Files
+```bash
+# grep (standard)
+grep -r "pattern" .
+grep -i "pattern" file.txt  # case-insensitive
+grep -n "pattern" file.txt  # with line numbers
+grep -A 5 "pattern" file.txt  # 5 lines after match
+grep -B 5 "pattern" file.txt  # 5 lines before match
+
+# ripgrep (if installed - faster and better)
+rg "pattern"
+rg -i "pattern"  # case-insensitive
+rg -t rust "pattern"  # only Rust files
+```
+
+### Text Manipulation
+```bash
+# sed (stream editor) - macOS uses BSD sed
+sed -i '' 's/old/new/g' file.txt  # note the '' for in-place edit
+sed 's/pattern/replacement/' file.txt
+
+# awk
+awk '{print $1}' file.txt

+
+## macOS-Specific Differences from Linux
+
+### Key Differences
+1. **sed**: Requires empty string for in-place edit: `sed -i '' ...`
+2. **find**: Uses BSD find (slightly different options)
+3. **date**: Different format options than GNU date
+4. **readlink**: Use `greadlink` (if coreutils installed) for `-f` flag
+5. **stat**: Different output format than GNU stat
+6. **grep**: BSD grep (consider installing `ggrep` for GNU grep)
+
+### GNU Tools via Homebrew
+```bash
+# Install GNU coreutils
+brew install coreutils
+
+# Then use with 'g' prefix
+gls, gcp, gmv, grm, greadlink, gdate, etc.
+```
+
+## Useful macOS Shortcuts
+
+### Terminal Shortcuts
+- `Cmd+K` - Clear terminal
+- `Cmd+T` - New tab
+- `Cmd+N` - New window
+- `Cmd+W` - Close tab
+- `Cmd+,` - Preferences
+
+### Command Line Shortcuts
+- `Ctrl+A` - Beginning of line
+- `Ctrl+E` - End of line
+- `Ctrl+U` - Delete to beginning
+- `Ctrl+K` - Delete to end
+- `Ctrl+R` - Search history
+- `Ctrl+C` - Cancel command
+- `Ctrl+D` - Exit shell
+- `Ctrl+Z` - Suspend process

+# Project Overview: Aspen
+
+## Purpose
+Aspen (formerly known as Lonni) is a **cross-platform real-time collaborative application** built for macOS and iPad. It demonstrates real-time CRDT (Conflict-free Replicated Data Type) synchronization with Apple Pencil input support.
+
+## Key Features
+- Real-time collaborative drawing/interaction with Apple Pencil support
+- P2P synchronization using CRDTs over iroh-gossip protocol
+- Cross-platform: macOS desktop and iOS/iPadOS
+- 3D rendering using Bevy game engine
+- Persistent local storage with SQLite
+- Session management for multi-user collaboration
+
+## Target Platforms
+- **macOS** (desktop application)
+- **iOS/iPadOS** (with Apple Pencil support)
+- Uses separate executors for each platform
+
+## Architecture
+The application uses a **workspace structure** with multiple crates:
+- `app` - Main application entry point and UI
+- `libmarathon` - Core library with engine, networking, persistence
+- `sync-macros` - Procedural macros for synchronization
+- `xtask` - Build automation tasks
+
+## Development Status
+Active development with RFCs for major design decisions. See `docs/rfcs/` for architectural documentation.
