 Follow the [Godot GDScript style guide](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/scripting/gdscript/gdscript_styleguide.html). Prefer clarity and consistency with existing scripts in the repo.
 
+CI also enforces **`gdlint`** and **`gdformat`** (see `gdlintrc` and `.github/workflows/gdscript.yml`) on **`client/scripts/`** and **`client/test/`**. When this guide and personal preference differ, follow the **linted** version below so pushed files pass CI.

 ## Naming
 
 - **Functions, variables, signals:** `snake_case`.

 ## Formatting
 
-- **One statement per line**; break long lines for readability (Godot line length is flexible—aim for ~100 characters unless a longer string is clearer).
+- **One statement per line**; CI enforces **max line length = 100**.
 - **Indentation:** use **tabs** for new Godot work (editor default). Do not mix tabs and spaces in the same file; match the file if it already uses spaces.
 - **Blank lines:** separate functions with two blank lines; sparing single blank lines inside functions for logical groups.
 - **Trailing commas** in multi-line collections/function args when it improves diffs.
+- No trailing whitespace.
 
 ## Structure
 
 - **`class_name`** only when the type must be referenced globally; otherwise anonymous `extends` is fine.
-- Order loosely: `extends` → `class_name` → `signals` → `enums` → `const` → `export/@export` → `onready` → other vars → `_ready` / lifecycle → public methods → private helpers.
+- Declaration order should match `gdlint` `class-definitions-order`:
+  `@tool` → `class_name` → `extends` → file/class docstrings → `signal` → `enum` → `const` → static vars → `@export` vars → public vars → private vars (`_foo`) → `@onready` public vars → `@onready` private vars → everything else.
 - Virtual overrides (`_ready`, `_process`, `_physics_process`, etc.): keep small; extract helpers with leading `_`.
 - **Scene / main script shape:** For `client/`, follow [godot-client-script-organization](godot-client-script-organization.md) — thin `main.gd`, split picking, networking, and similar concerns into child scripts.
 
+## CI-enforced lint rules
+
+- **Names:** keep functions, local vars, loop vars, arguments, signals, and class vars in `snake_case`; keep classes / enums in `PascalCase`; keep enum elements and true constants in `ALL_CAPS`.
+- **Signal callbacks:** `_on_Node_signal` style handlers are allowed; otherwise use normal `snake_case`.
+- **Preload / load identifiers:** when storing a preloaded script or type-like handle, prefer `PascalCase` names such as `CameraStateScript`; keep ordinary constants in `ALL_CAPS`.
+- Avoid duplicated `preload()`s for the same path in one file.
+- Avoid bare expressions that are not assigned / returned / awaited.
+- Remove unnecessary `pass`.
+- Keep files reasonably small: CI enforces **max 1000 lines**, **max 20 public methods**, **max 10 function arguments**, and **max 6 returns** per function.
+- Prefer early-return style. `gdlint` forbids `else` / `elif` branches that directly follow a `return`.
+- Keep unused arguments intentional and named clearly if you truly need them.
+
+## Local verification
+
+- Before pushing GDScript changes, run the same tools CI uses:
+  `pip install "gdtoolkit==4.5.0"`
+  `gdlint client/scripts client/test`
+  `gdformat --check client/scripts client/test`
+- If formatting fails, run:
+  `gdformat client/scripts client/test`
+- Install the repo’s local **pre-push** hook from the repo root to enforce those checks automatically:
+  `./scripts/install-git-hooks.sh`
+
