 - Discuss larger changes with the team on [Discord](https://discord.gg/meshtastic) before starting work.  
-- If unsure, open a draft PR for early feedback.
-- Maintain cross-platform visual consistency: when implementing new UI components, it's important to maintain a consistent
-look and layout across platforms. Before introducing a new visual pattern, please reference the existing interfaces in other 
-client apps to ensure alignment.
