Robot Incremental Development Docs

We will evolve the robot in discrete capability stages. For each stage you will ask me to document; I will then:

1. Create or update a stage-XX-name.md file (two‑digit index).
2. Commit code + documentation.
3. Create a git tag stage-XX-name pointing to that commit.

File Naming

stage-01-initial.md, stage-02-drive-base.md, etc. Use concise, kebab-case names.

Template Sections

Each stage doc will include:

• Stage Number & Name
• Date
• Summary
• New Capability / Rationale
• Implementation Highlights (classes, methods modified/added)
• Testing / Verification Steps
• Next Steps / Possible Extensions

Workflow

1. You implement or request a capability.
2. When ready, you say it's time to document the stage.
3. I generate/update the markdown, commit, and tag.

Git Tagging

Tags: stage-XX-name. Lightweight annotated tags (with message summarizing capability).

Diff Reference

For deeper review later we can run: git diff stage-01-initial stage-02-drive-base etc.

Template

See STAGE_TEMPLATE.md for the structure reused.
