 - 🚨 **NEVER use `npx`, `pnpm dlx`, or `yarn dlx`** — use `pnpm exec <package>` for devDep binaries, or `pnpm run <script>` for package.json scripts. If a tool is needed, add it as a pinned devDependency first.
 - **minimumReleaseAge**: NEVER add packages to `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` in CI. Locally, ASK before adding — the age threshold is a security control.
 - File existence: ALWAYS `existsSync` from `node:fs`. NEVER `fs.access`, `fs.stat`-for-existence, or an async `fileExists` wrapper. Import form: `import { existsSync, promises as fs } from 'node:fs'`.
+- `Promise.race` / `Promise.any`: NEVER pass a long-lived promise (interrupt signal, pool member) into a race inside a loop. Each call re-attaches `.then` handlers to every arm; handlers accumulate on surviving promises until they settle. For concurrency limiters, use a single-waiter "slot available" signal (resolved by each task's `.then`) instead of re-racing `executing[]`. See nodejs/node#17469 and `@watchable/unpromise`. Race with two fresh arms (e.g. one-shot `withTimeout`) is safe.
