Hard-Stop Rules

These rules must never be violated. Violations require immediate halt and review.

• Never deploy RL agents without safety constraint verification
• Never use reward functions without documented business objective alignment
• Never skip convergence verification before production policy deployment

Mandatory Rules

These rules must be followed in all circumstances.

• Safety constraints must be enforced throughout training and evaluation
• Reward functions must be documented with business objective mapping
• Convergence must be verified before deploying learned policies
• Exploration strategies must be justified with rationale

Preferred Practices

Best practices that should be followed when possible.

• Use safe exploration methods for environments with high failure costs
• Provide Q-value heatmaps for policy interpretability
• Include reward decomposition for multi-objective environments
