+## Code Style & Lint Rules
+
+### Unused Variables
+
+The frontend ESLint config enforces `no-unused-vars` as a warning. The CI pipeline fails if warnings exceed 25. To avoid lint failures:
+
+- **Prefix intentionally-unused variables with `_`** — this suppresses the warning. The `varsIgnorePattern: "^_"` and `argsIgnorePattern: "^_"` rules are configured in `frontend/package.json`.
+- Common patterns:
+  - `const [_unused, setFoo] = useState(...)` — destructured value you don't need
+  - `const _legacyRef = useRef(...)` — kept for future use
+  - `function handler(_event) { ... }` — required parameter signature but unused
+- **Do not leave variables unprefixed if unused.** Either use them, remove them, or prefix with `_`.
+- This applies to all frontend code written by the agent.
+
+### Backend
+
+No ESLint is configured for backend — the pipeline uses `node -c` syntax checking only. Keep code clean but there is no automated unused-var enforcement on the backend side.
