+## Dependencies
+
+### Pinning Policy
+All dependencies are pinned to exact versions (`==`). This ensures every Docker build
+produces an identical image — a `git revert` actually rolls back to the previous working state.
+
+- **`requirements.txt`** — production runtime deps only (used by Dockerfile)
+- **`requirements-dev.txt`** — includes `-r requirements.txt` plus dev/test tools
+
+When installing for local development or running tests:
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
+```
+
+When upgrading a dependency, update BOTH the `==` pin and (if applicable) the comment in
+the file. Test before committing. Never use `>=` or `~=` constraints.
+
 ## API Reference
 - OpenAPI spec: https://sba.manticorum.com/api/openapi.json (use WebFetch for current endpoints)
