Something I didn't see in there that's a good thing to look for, or a good thing to ask for, is "quitting for good cause" - it's basically the inverse of "firing for cause".
A couple jobs ago, my signing bonus and equity were revocable (so I'd have to return the bonus) if I was fired for cause. Somewhere in the contract they'd also used the term "[quit] for good cause", which introduced me to it. I came back and ask for the term to be applied to many more places - if I fired them as an employer for cause, I'd explicitly keep the signing bonus, and accelerate my vesting.
It ofc never came up; they were great to work for, even if in the end it didn't work out. They very much took great care of us when the endeavor was shuttered and we were all let go; so to the top comment's point, the vibe of the contract matched the vibe of the gig.
Edit: It's apparently a nationally recognized term, but depends on state law to define:
