 ### Formatting
 
-Machine-enforceable rules (tabs, braces, pointer alignment, continuation
-alignment) are in `.clang-format` — run `clang-format -i <file>` to apply.
-
+- **Tabs for indentation**, 8-column tab width.
+- **Braces** on the same line as control statements (Attach style).
+- **Pointers**: `*` against the name, not the type (`PrRhiBuffer *buf`, not `PrRhiBuffer* buf`).
+- **Line width**: 120 columns.
+- **Continuation lines** align to the opening parenthesis.
 - **Return-type alignment**: Within each `// =====` section, align function
   declaration names so the first letter of every function occupies the same
   column. For pointer return types, place `*` directly against the function
