- Function-local constants: `lower_snake_case`
- Protected/private fields: `lower_snake_case_with_trailing_underscore_`
- Favor descriptive names over abbreviations
- Enumerator names: prefix every value of an `enum class` with the enum name converted to
`UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` (e.g. `UARTFlushResult::UART_FLUSH_RESULT_SUCCESS`). Never use bare
names like `SUCCESS`, `FAILURE`, `OK`, or `FAIL`: platform SDK headers define macros with
these common names (for example the Realtek SDKs used by LibreTiny define
`#define SUCCESS 0` in `basic_types.h`), and the preprocessor replaces the enumerator
before the compiler sees it, breaking the build and clang-tidy on those platforms.
* **Python Idioms:**
* **Assignment expressions (PEP 572):** Prefer the walrus operator (`:=`) wherever it removes a redundant lookup or a throwaway temporary. The most common case in component code is presence-checking a config key and then indexing it separately — fetch once with `.get()` and bind in the condition instead:
