Core Checks (default exit gate)

Six checks run project-wide, in order, once when work is complete. This is the default meaning of "all checks pass."

check-compile → check-link → check-filesize → check-unit → check-integration → check-complexity

If any fail, fix and re-run only the failing check.

Full Suite (only when explicitly requested)

The core 6 plus 5 deep checks. Run only when the goal or user specifically asks.

check-sanitize · check-tsan · check-valgrind · check-helgrind · check-coverage

Development Inner Loop

After changing a file, run the relevant check with --file=PATH:

• check-compile --file=PATH after every edit
• check-unit --file=PATH when a test file exists

Stay in this single-file loop. Do not run project-wide checks during active development.

Build Modes

make BUILD={debug|release|sanitize|tsan|coverage}

CRITICAL: Never run multiple make commands simultaneously — incompatible compiler flags corrupt the build.
