 Everything the project verifies runs through the `Makefile`, and CI runs `make check` verbatim, so a green `make check` locally is the whole gate. External dependencies are deliberately limited to `cobra`, `html-to-markdown/v2`, and `golang.org/x/term`; HTTP, JSON, and config parsing use the standard library.
 
 [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) is the developer handbook: required tooling, the make targets, the lint and coverage rules, the process the repository follows, and the release procedure.
