Implementation Guidelines

Strings & Localization

**Define in XML**: All UI text must in **`strings.xml`**. Use **`stringResource(R.string.*)`** in Compose.
**Formatting**: Use **format args (`%s`, `%d`)** instead of concatenation. Use **`plurals`** (e.g., `<item quantity="one">`) for quantity-sensitive strings.
**Parity**: Maintain **Localizable.strings (iOS)** parity where possible for shared features.
**Dynamic Access**: Use **`context.getString(R.string.id, args)`** for dynamic lookups.

Assets / Drawables

**Formats**: Prefer **VectorDrawables (`.xml`)** over RASTER images. Scale cleanly across density buckets (mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi).
**Plurals**: Use `resources.getQuantityString(R.plurals.items, count, count)` for quantity-sensitive strings.
**Dark Mode**: Support **`Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT`** via **`values-night/`** qualifier or **`MaterialTheme`** tokens. Never use hardcoded hex colors in Layouts/Composables.
**Themes**: Map all colors to **Design Tokens** (primary, surface, error) for consistent skinning.

Anti-Patterns

**No String Concatenation in UI**: Use format args (`%s`, `%d`) in strings.xml instead.
**No Hardcoded UI Text**: All visible strings must defined in strings.xml.
