tooling/editorconfig@v1

Cross-editor standardization: an .editorconfig at the root plus a .gitattributes that normalizes line endings. Both are near-universal in well-run repos because they prevent the most common style-churn PR comments before an author even hits save.

Rules

tooling-editorconfig-exists

• kind: file_exists
• level: info
• policy: https://editorconfig.org/

Add a root .editorconfig so contributors on different editors produce files with consistent indentation and line endings.

tooling-gitattributes-exists

• kind: file_exists
• level: info
• policy: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes

Add a root .gitattributes to normalize line endings across Windows/macOS/Linux checkouts. A typical minimum is * text=auto eol=lf.

tooling-gitattributes-normalizes-line-endings

• kind: file_content_matches
• level: info

.gitattributes exists but has no * text=... line; line-ending normalization is the main reason to ship a .gitattributes in the first place.
