• Learning an unfamiliar codebase in a day: an exploration protocol with a written map

  A time-boxed protocol for a first day in a codebase: build and run the tests before reading, read the history with git shortlog and git log to find where the activity is, follow one request or command end to end, and write a one-page map with entry points, data model, invariants and open questions; the map, not memory, is the output.
