 Before any code changes:
-1. ✅ Run `cargo fmt --all` to check and fix code formatting
-2. ✅ Run `cargo test` to ensure all tests pass
-3. ✅ Run `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features --workspace -- -D warnings` to check for common mistakes and ensure no warnings
-4. ✅ Ensure new code has appropriate test coverage
-5. ✅ Verify no redundant comments are added
+1. ✅ **Format code**: Run `cargo fmt --all` to fix all formatting issues
+2. ✅ **Fix clippy warnings**: Run `cargo clippy --fix --allow-dirty --allow-staged --all-targets` to auto-fix lints
+3. ✅ **Verify clippy clean**: Run `cargo clippy --all-targets` and ensure **ZERO warnings**
+4. ✅ **Run all tests**: Run `cargo test` to ensure all tests pass
