## Working Principles

Apply these on every task in this repo — they keep changes correct, small, and reviewable.

- **Think before coding.** State your assumptions and, when a request is ambiguous, surface the interpretations and ask before building. Recommend a simpler approach when you see one. A clarifying question up front beats a wrong implementation.
- **Generated vs. hand-written first.** Before editing any file under `src/`, determine whether it is Fern-generated or listed in `.fernignore`. Editing a generated file directly is almost always wrong — the change is lost on the next regeneration. See [Boundaries](#boundaries).
- **Simplicity first.** Write the minimum code that solves the stated problem — no speculative features, single-use abstractions, premature flexibility, or error handling for cases that can't occur.
- **Surgical changes.** Touch only what the request requires. Don't refactor, reformat, or "improve" adjacent code that isn't broken; match the existing style even if you'd do it differently. Every changed line should trace directly to the request.
- **Goal-driven execution.** Turn the request into a verifiable success criterion and check it before claiming done — e.g. "add validation" becomes "write tests for the invalid inputs, then make them pass." Don't report success you haven't verified.

## Project Overview

**auth0-java** is a Java client library for the Auth0 Authentication and Management APIs, intended for server-side JVM applications (Android apps should use [Auth0.Android](https://github.com/auth0/auth0.android)).
