+# Pattern Contract (Important)
+
+Pattern classes are loaded dynamically by `Presets._load_dynamic_patterns()`.
+
+Patterns must follow this contract exactly.
+
+## Required class shape
+
+- File name is the pattern id (for example `blink.py` -> pattern name `blink`).
+- Module exports a class with:
+  - `__init__(self, driver)` where `driver` is the `Presets` instance.
+  - `run(self, preset)` that returns a generator.
+
+`Presets` binds patterns like this:
+
+- `pattern_class(self).run`
+- then calls `self.patterns[preset.p](preset)` and stores that generator.
+- every frame, `Presets.tick()` does `next(self.generator)`.
+
+## `run()` generator rules
+
+- `run()` must `yield` frequently (normally once per tick loop).
+- Do not block inside `run()`:
+  - no `sleep()` / `sleep_ms()` / long loops without `yield`.
+  - no network or file I/O.
+- Use time checks (`utime.ticks_ms()` + `utime.ticks_diff(...)`) to schedule updates.
+- Keep pattern state inside local variables in `run()` (or object fields if needed).
+
+## Drawing and brightness
+
+- Use `self.driver.apply_brightness(color, preset.b)` for per-preset brightness.
+- Write pixels through `self.driver.n[...]` / `self.driver.n.fill(...)`.
+- Flush frame with `self.driver.n.write()`.
+- If a pattern needs to clear, use black `(0, 0, 0)`.
+
+## Step semantics
+
+- `self.driver.step` is shared pattern state managed by `Presets.select(...)` and patterns.
+- Patterns that use step-based progression should update `self.driver.step` themselves.
+- `select(..., step=...)` may set an explicit starting step.
+
+## Error handling
+
+- Let unexpected errors raise inside the generator.
+- `Presets.tick()` catches exceptions, logs, and stops the active generator.
+- Pattern code should not swallow broad exceptions unless there is a clear recovery path.
+
+## Built-ins
+
+- `off` and `on` are built-in methods on `Presets`, not loaded from this folder.
+- `__init__.py` is ignored by dynamic loader.
