Real-time Event Renderer — Constitution

Hard-Stop Rules

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

• Never drop events silently — all drops must be logged and counted
• Never allow unbounded buffer growth in long-running sessions
• Never block the rendering thread with synchronous data processing

Mandatory Rules

These rules must be followed in all circumstances.

• Maintain 30fps minimum under normal event load
• Automatic WebSocket reconnection with exponential backoff
• Event ordering preserved in visual representation
• Memory budgets enforced for long-running sessions

Preferred Practices

Best practices that should be followed when possible.

• Use adaptive frame rate throttling under high load
• Provide event replay functionality from buffer history
• Include connection health indicators in the visual interface
