 - **[`.editorconfig`](./.editorconfig) sets the line ending:** `[*] end_of_line = crlf` is the **default** - every file type is CRLF unless pinned otherwise - with **LF** pinned for the execution-sensitive exceptions - `*.sh`, Dockerfiles, and any individual `.py` executed directly via its shebang (pinned **by path**, e.g. `spec/validate.py`; vanilla `.py` stays CRLF, since Python's universal newlines accept it and it is commonly edited on Windows). Only the LF exceptions are declared; the redundant per-type CRLF rules are intentionally omitted. `.gitattributes` mirrors it: `* -text` (git stores the exact bytes you commit and will **not** normalize) plus the matching LF pins.
 - **Choosing an ending for a new file type:** CRLF is the **default** - cross-platform editors on Windows produce it, and it is harmless on Linux for everything except shell. Use LF only when the type **requires** it or CRLF **breaks how it is consumed**: executable scripts/shebangs (`*.sh`, s6, husky), Dockerfiles (CRLF breaks `RUN` heredocs/continuations), and tool-owned formats with a native LF ending (KiCad). **YAML stays CRLF** - GitHub Actions' parser tolerates it and these repos run it without breakage (a repo that also runs yamllint sets `new-lines: disable` to defer to `.editorconfig`). Distinguish where a file is *consumed* from where it is *edited*: consumption on Linux alone does not force LF.
 - **Scripts and extensionless executables must be LF - and pinned in `.gitattributes`, not just configured.** A CRLF shebang (`#!/usr/bin/env bash\r`) breaks execution. `.editorconfig` sets `[*.sh] = lf`, but that extension-based rule does not match **extensionless** executables (s6 service scripts `run`/`up`/`finish`, husky/git hook scripts like `.husky/pre-commit`), and `* -text` enforces nothing - so a broad normalization pass or an editor can silently flip them to CRLF (it has). `.gitattributes` is the enforcement layer: it carries `*.sh text eol=lf`, and any repo whose tooling ships extensionless scripts **adds the matching path pin** - e.g. `Docker/s6-overlay/** text eol=lf` for s6 init, `.husky/pre-commit text eol=lf` for husky hooks - so git holds them at LF on checkout and `--renormalize`. This pin is mandatory for any repo that overrides s6 init, uses husky/git hooks, or otherwise ships executable scripts. The same explicit-pin rule extends to **tool-owned file formats the base config doesn't key on**: pin them to whatever ending the tool reads and writes so a normalization sweep can't churn them - e.g. KiCad project/footprint/3D files (`*.kicad_mod`, `*.kicad_sym`, `*.step`), which KiCad writes LF (`*.kicad_mod text eol=lf`, ...). The principle is general: a file class the `.editorconfig` extension rules and `* -text` don't cover needs an explicit `.gitattributes` pin matching its tool's native ending.
+- **Pair each such pin with a matching `.editorconfig` override - the git pin alone is not enough.** `.gitattributes` governs **git** (checkout, commit, `--renormalize`); the **editor** follows `.editorconfig`, where the `[*] end_of_line = crlf` default still applies to any file no extension rule covers. So even with the git pin, the editor writes a CRLF shebang into an extensionless hook (breaking it when run from the working tree) or re-ends/trims a byte-sensitive data file. Give every extensionless **executable** an editorconfig LF override beside its `.gitattributes` pin (`[.husky/pre-commit] end_of_line = lf`); and for a **byte-preserve data directory** (downloaded or opaque source whose exact bytes the consumer may depend on) disable *all* editor normalization, not just EOL - `[<dir>/*]` with `charset = unset`, `end_of_line = unset`, `insert_final_newline = false`, `trim_trailing_whitespace = false` (`unset` is EditorConfig's spec-defined special value that removes an inherited property, so the editor enforces neither the global `charset` nor `end_of_line` on that path). Keep these overrides with the line-ending governance (above any `.NET-only` divider), not in the language-style section.
 - **New files:** create them with the `.editorconfig`-mandated ending.
 - **Editing an existing file:** **preserve the file's current line endings** - do not reflow them as a side effect of a content change, even if the file is already non-compliant. A tool that rewrites a file in text mode (a script, a bulk find/replace) can silently flip CRLF to LF and turn a one-line change into a whole-file diff. After any programmatic edit, verify before staging: `git diff --stat` should touch only the lines you changed, and a byte check should confirm the expected ending (`file` is unreliable here - see Auditing below). If a diff balloons to the whole file, you flipped the endings - restore them and re-stage.
 - **Fixing a non-compliant file:** bring it to its `.editorconfig` ending as a **deliberate** change, and prefer to isolate it in its own EOL-only commit so the churn is reviewable. When a broader maintenance change has to normalize endings alongside content edits (a repo-wide cleanup sometimes does), call it out explicitly in the commit/PR description and verify the content separately with `git diff --ignore-cr-at-eol`.
