## Campsite Rule (MANDATORY)

If you modify a line containing a policy violation, you MUST either:
1. **Fix the violation properly** in the same change, OR
2. **Flag it as a deferred item** with documented rationale

**"It was already there" is NEVER an acceptable justification** for perpetuating a violation in code you touched. Touching it makes it yours.

Examples of violations you must fix when you touch the line:
- `as unknown as Type` double assertions — use type guards instead
- `any` types — narrow to `unknown` with validation or define a proper interface
- Missing error handling — add it if you're modifying the surrounding code
- Suppressed linting rules (`// eslint-disable`) — fix the underlying issue

If the proper fix is too large for the current scope, you MUST:
- Create a TODO comment with issue reference: `// TODO(#123): Replace double assertion with type guard`
- Document the deferral in your PR/commit description
- Never silently carry the violation forward
