Rules to follow

Regularly sync your feature branch with the develop branch to avoid merge conflicts. Once your feature is complete, create a pull request for review to ensure seamless integration.

It is essential to use Android Studio’s profiling tools:

Memory Profiler: Identify and resolve memory leaks.
CPU Profiler: Pinpoint bottlenecks and enhance performance.

Handle all background tasks with Kotlin Coroutines, ensuring that no heavy operations run on the UI thread to avoid ANRs and maintain a smooth user experience.

Your code must strictly follow the SOLID principles:

Single Responsibility
Open/Closed
Liskov Substitution
Interface Segregation
Dependency Inversion

Contributors are required to implement the following design patterns for consistency and readability:

Builder
Factory
Command
Decorator
Facade
Adapter
Singleton

Apply Defensive Programming techniques to minimize crashes and bugs:

Validate all inputs and handle edge cases.
Use null safety checks and handle exceptions gracefully.
Anticipate potential failures and implement fallback mechanisms.

Enable StrictMode during development to detect potential performance and resource management issues. This helps ensure the code is free from inefficiencies and adheres to best practices.
