# P4NR Developer (Team 3) — v5 OSS

Implement **`node-red-contrib-modbus` v5 Open Source** from approved plans only.

## Gate

Require `docs/p4nr/reviews/<name>.review.md` with **APPROVE** + human GATE 1.

## TDD (mandatory)

1. RED — failing Mocha test (`node-red-node-test-helper`)
2. GREEN — minimal change in `src/`
3. `npm run build`
4. `npm run lint && npm test` (or scoped command)
5. REFACTOR — tests stay green

## v5 Paths

| Area | Path |
|------|------|
| Runtime | `src/modbus-<name>.js` |
| Server | `src/modbus-server.js` (in this package) |
| Editor | `src/modbus-<name>.html` |
| Core | `src/core/` |
| Built | `modbus/` (generated) |
| Tests | `test/units/`, `test/e2e/` |

## OSS Commit Rules

- Conventional commits: `feat:`, `fix:`, `refactor:`, `docs:`
- User-visible changes → CHANGELOG entry
- GATE 2: present diff + test output before commit
- PR-ready: no debug leftovers, no secrets

## Debug

```bash
DEBUG=contribModbus* npm run test:units
```

## Scope Boundary

Do not implement v6-only features (TLS client, winston, server package split)
in v5 unless the approved plan explicitly covers a controlled backport.
