# Forgejo Actions — self-hosted CI
Parallel CI on the private Forgejo (Tailscale `100.91.246.53:3000`)
that doesn't depend on github.com — keeps private code on
self-hosted infrastructure while still getting per-commit
verification.
## Why a separate `.forgejo/workflows/` and not just `.github/workflows/`?
Forgejo Actions reads BOTH directories by default. We split them
because the GHA workflow has 2 quirks irrelevant on self-hosted:
1. **GHA Linux runner has 7 GB RAM + 14 GB on `/mnt`** — workspace OOMs
during link. Self-hosted runner can have whatever RAM the host has.
2. **Per-category matrix** is faster on self-hosted (parallel jobs)
but *slower* on GHA (each matrix job = full container + cache pull).
So we keep GHA monolithic, split self-hosted into 8 logical groups.
## One-time runner setup
Pick a host (the same VPS that runs Forgejo, or a separate beefier
box). Tailscale is fine — runner only needs to reach Forgejo.
```bash
# 1. Get the binary
wget -O /usr/local/bin/forgejo-runner \
https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/releases/download/v6.5.0/forgejo-runner-amd64
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/forgejo-runner
# 2. Get a registration token from Forgejo:
# Forgejo web UI → Site Administration → Actions → Runners → Create new
# (OR per-org: Org settings → Actions → Runners)
# (OR per-repo: Repo settings → Actions → Runners — narrowest scope)
# 3. Register
sudo useradd -r -s /usr/sbin/nologin -d /var/lib/forgejo-runner forgejo-runner
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/forgejo-runner
sudo chown forgejo-runner: /var/lib/forgejo-runner
cd /var/lib/forgejo-runner
sudo -u forgejo-runner forgejo-runner register --no-interactive \
--instance http://100.91.246.53:3000 \
--token <REGISTRATION_TOKEN_FROM_WEB_UI> \
--name "$(hostname)-runner" \
--labels self-hosted,docker,linux,amd64

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now forgejo-runner
# 5. Verify in Forgejo web UI:
# Site Admin → Actions → Runners → status: Idle (green dot)
```
## Repo-level enable
```bash
# Via API
curl -X PATCH http://100.91.246.53:3000/api/v1/repos/denis/KeiSeiKit \
-u "denis:$FORGEJO_TOKEN" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"has_actions": true}'
# OR via web UI:
# Repo → Settings → Repository → enable "Actions"
```
## Trigger
Push to `main` triggers the workflow automatically. Watch progress:
http://100.91.246.53:3000/denis/KeiSeiKit/actions
## Differences from GHA workflow
| Job | GHA | Forgejo |
|---|---|---|
| `rust-assembler` | ubuntu+macOS matrix | docker (Linux only) |
| `rust-primitives` | monolithic (OOM-prone) | **8-group matrix** (parallel, fast) |
| `ts-packages` | node 20+22 matrix | node 22 only |
| `install-dry-run` | 3 profiles | (skip — runs locally on dev machines) |
| `shell-lint` | ubuntu+shellcheck apt | shellcheck-alpine container |
| `workflow-lint` | actionlint | (skip — handled by GHA mirror) |
## Cost
Free. No GitHub Actions minutes. No GitHub LFS bandwidth.
Sensitive-IP never leaves Tailscale.
## Maintenance
The runner pulls images on first run for each container reference; subsequent
runs are cached. Periodic `docker system prune -af` recommended (cron job
on the runner host).

## 2026-04-28 — Three scheduling abstractions in workspace
### Context
After Hermes import (P4.2 `kei-cron-scheduler`) the KeiSeiKit workspace
contains **three** scheduler-like primitives. A naive audit reads this as
duplication; in practice each occupies a distinct layer of the stack and
removing any one would break a downstream consumer. This ADR documents the
boundary so a future reader does not consolidate them by mistake.
### The three primitives
| Crate | Storage | Concurrency | Owns runner? | Canonical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `kei-scheduler` | `rusqlite` (sync, metadata-only) | sync | **no** | per-call queryable schedule index |
| `kei-cron-scheduler` | JSON-on-disk + `fcntl` advisory lock | `tokio` async | **yes** | Hermes parity (`/schedule` parser + cron loop) |
| `kei-pipe` cron triggers | embedded in pipe TOML | driven by pipe runtime | depends on pipe | pipeline-level cron embedded in a pipe definition |
### Decision
**Keep all three. Do not consolidate.** Each abstraction encodes a
different ownership contract and a different blast radius on failure.
### Rationale, primitive by primitive
#### `kei-scheduler` — synchronous metadata-only store
Synchronous `rusqlite` schedule store. Stores cron expression, next-run
timestamp, owner, payload pointer. Does **not** dispatch — the caller asks
"what should I run between t and t+Δ" and the caller is responsible for
execution.
This separation matters because two callers want exactly that contract:
- `kei-pipe` queries the schedule from the pipe-runtime loop (already its
own scheduler) — it must not have a competing async runner inside the
store.
- `cron-wrapper-agent` test harness wants deterministic, blocking lookups
with no background tasks. A `tokio` runtime would fight the harness.
A SQLite-backed metadata store is the smallest abstraction that satisfies
both callers. Any `tokio` infrastructure inside this crate would force its
contract on the harness and break determinism.
#### `kei-cron-scheduler` — async runner for Hermes parity
Async `tokio`-based runner. JSON-on-disk persistence (one file per job),
`fcntl` advisory lock to keep multiple binaries from racing the same job
file, owns its own loop, supports interval + standard 5-field cron. This
is the surface imported from Hermes (HERMES-MIGRATION-PLAN P4.2) — the
contract is "set-and-forget recurring scheduler with the runner inside the
crate."
A SQLite-only store like `kei-scheduler` cannot satisfy this contract:
- File-per-job is the unit of `fcntl` locking; a single SQLite file would
serialise all locks through the SQLite write mutex.
- The runner is part of the public surface — Hermes callers expect to
hand the crate a job and walk away. Splitting the runner into a
separate crate would re-litigate the contract on every consumer.
#### `kei-pipe` cron triggers — pipeline-level cron embedded in a pipe
Pipes (KeiSei pipeline definitions, TOML) can declare a cron trigger
inline. The pipe runtime evaluates the trigger as part of the pipe's own
state machine, alongside event triggers, file-watch triggers, and HTTP
triggers. The cron trigger is **not** a separate scheduler — it is a
trigger source within the pipe runtime, which is itself the scheduler.
Re-implementing this on top of `kei-cron-scheduler` would either (a)
duplicate the pipe runtime's lifecycle into the cron crate, or (b) split
a single pipe's triggers across two runtimes, which loses the atomic
"trigger-fired-and-pipe-started" guarantee the pipe runtime provides.
### Consequences
- **Choosing the right primitive for a new caller.** Decision tree:
- Need a recurring background runner with `fcntl` durability and
minimal blast radius if a single binary crashes? → `kei-cron-scheduler`.
- Need a queryable index of "what should I run", with execution owned
elsewhere? → `kei-scheduler`.
- Trigger is one of many in a pipe definition, lives next to the data
flow, dies with the pipe? → `kei-pipe` cron trigger.
- **Fail-loud overlap.** If you find yourself porting a feature from one
to another (e.g. "let `kei-scheduler` also dispatch"), STOP — that is
the No-Patching/No-Overlay smell from the umbrella rules. Add the
feature to the right primitive instead, or write a new one.
- **Audit signal.** A future audit may flag "three schedulers" as a code
smell. This ADR is the canonical answer; link here from any review
comment that surfaces the question again.

## STATUS BANNER (post-audit, 2026-04-28 — RULE 0.16 self-application)
> **SCAFFOLDING SHIPPED — ~52% functional coverage across 7 phases.**
> Honest reconciliation after `feat/hermes-batch-2026-04-28` audit by 7 kei-critic agents.
| Phase | Goal coverage | Status (RULE 0.16) | cargo-check | Top remaining gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0.2 export-trajectories | 55% | partial | PASS | 3-turn hardcode, `From::Tool` never used, 832 LOC vs ≤200 budget |
| P0.3 README Hermes column | 70% | partial | n/a | Verified TRUE [E1 source] — no edits required after Hermes claim re-grep |
| P1.1 OpenAI-compat | **25%** | **scaffolding** | PASS (after fix) | Echo stubs in all handlers; real `chat_stream::run_loop_stream` exists at `handlers/chat.rs:13` but unwired; `main.rs:98` lacks `into_make_service_with_connect_info` |
| P1.2 Daytona | 55% | partial | PASS | No Modal backend in repo to compose alongside; REST paths unverified vs Daytona OpenAPI; FileSync not wired into acquire/release |
| P2.1 injection-guard | 55% | partial-wrong-wire | PASS | Wired to `cmd_backlog --add` (RULE 0.14 CRUD), NOT to `ingest::insert_event` or `kei-pet::memory` (real memory writes) |
| P2.2 memory-nudge | **25%** | **dead-code** | PASS | Zero callers in handlers; `Invoker` trait has no production impl; `MemoryStore` Arc not plumbed; `from_context` returns invoker=None → `spawn_review` early-returns |
| P3.1 kei-skills | 30% | dead-code | PASS | Zero downstream consumers; kei-mcp re-implements skills-as-MCP via raw walkdir, bypassing kei-skills entirely |
| P3.4 kei-ledger v8 | 80% | partial-write-only | PASS | Real SQL + 5 funcs + 6 tests; no caller until Phase D nightly job built |
| P4.1 kei-gateway | 40% | scaffolding | PASS | 9 `todo!()` panics in TG/Discord/Slack adapters; only CLI real; `agent_cache` field DEAD in runner; blake3 hash unused in production path |
| P4.2 kei-cron-scheduler | **85%** | **functional** | PASS | Parser+job+runner real, no stubs. Minor: 4 `matches!` no-op tests need `assert!`; 3 scheduling abstractions in kit (smell) |
**Hermes "no auto-extraction" claim re-verified [E1 source code]**: no edits required to README footnote or §"Honest delta vs Hermes". Verification by exhaustive grep of `/tmp/hermes-research/hermes-agent/` for `extract_skill`, `auto_save_skill`, post-task hooks, plus inspection of sister `NousResearch/hermes-agent-self-evolution` (DSPy+GEPA prompt optimization, NOT trajectory→skill extraction; separate repo, no integration).
**RULE 0.16 SHIPPED-VS-FUNCTIONAL DRIFT** codified 2026-04-28 in response to this audit. Three layers: agent STATUS-TRUTH MARKER footer + `~/.claude/hooks/agent-stub-scan.sh` (WARN 7d → ENFORCE) + orchestrator pre-commit cargo gate. Belt+suspenders+chastity-belt against repeating this drift.
**Functional follow-ups (in priority order)** to take any phase from `partial`/`scaffolding` to `functional`:
- P1.1.b: wire `chat_stream::run_loop_stream` into OpenAI handlers (~4-8h) — biggest user-visible win
- P2.1.b: re-wire injection_guard to `ingest::insert_event` + `kei-pet::memory` real write paths (~2h)
- P2.2.b: implement `Invoker` for `kei-anthropic` + plumb `MemoryStore` Arc + call `maybe_trigger` from chat handler (~1d)
- P3.1.b: replace kei-mcp's raw walkdir with `kei_skills::SkillRegistry` consumer (~3-4h)
- P0.2.b: parse chatlog into multi-turn ShareGPT (split on tool boundaries, emit `From::Tool`) (~1d)
- P4.1.b: real teloxide / serenity / slack-morphism adapter implementations (3-4d each)

## TL;DR — what we take, what we drop
| Hermes feature | Verdict | Effort | KeiSei gap? |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpenAI-compat `/v1/chat/completions` + `/v1/responses` (axum) | **P0 TAKE** | 16-25h | yes — instant frontend ecosystem |
| Daytona backend (real hibernation, not Modal-style) | **P0 TAKE** | 1-2 days | yes — Modal-only today |
| ShareGPT JSONL trajectory export from `kei-ledger` | **P0 TAKE** | 2 days | yes — community RL distribution |
| Multi-platform gateway (TG/Discord/Slack/CLI single process) | **P1 TAKE** | 10-12 days MVP | yes — adapters separate today |
| `croniter` for recurring `/schedule` (interval + cron-expr) | **P1 TAKE** | 1-2 days | yes — only one-shot today |
| Memory injection scanner (block "ignore previous" etc.) | **P1 TAKE** | 3-4 days | **security gap** |
| Periodic-nudge background memory review (every N turns) | **P1 TAKE** | 1-2 weeks | yes — runtime curation |
| `MemoryProvider` plugin trait (8+ external memory backends) | **P2 EVAL** | 2-3 weeks | yes — but our SQLite better than their builtin |
| **Phase D learning loop** (auto trajectory→skill, real self-improvement) | **P0 BUILD** | 3-5 weeks | **we go FURTHER than Hermes** |
| Plug KeiSei skills into Hermes agentskills.io taps | **P1 TAKE** | 1 day | distribution win, zero lock-in |

## Honest assessment of Hermes
**Architecture quality**: Mid. Files are massive — `run_agent.py` is **13,268 LOC**, `gateway/run.py` **11,760 LOC**, `cli.py` **11,388 LOC**. That's the opposite of our Constructor Pattern (≤200 LOC/file). **Porting means decomposing, not copying.**
**Marketing vs reality**:
- "Self-improving learning loop" — **CRUD on markdown files with manual triggers**. No automatic trajectory→skill extraction. No success-rate tracking. No background evaluator. The mechanism is `agent.write_skill_file(yaml + md)` plus `agent.patch_skill(fuzzy_replace)`. The README sells more than the code delivers.
- "Daytona AND Modal hibernate" — **only Daytona truly hibernates**. Modal volumes persist; Modal sandboxes always cold-start.
- "FTS5 full-text search" — **applies to external Honcho only**, not builtin memory. Builtin uses substring matching on markdown.
**Where Hermes IS strong**:
- Cross-platform user continuity via deterministic session-key hash (one function, ~170 LOC) — clean and correct
- 6 execution backends with pluggable interface
- Rich gateway (15+ platforms, race-condition handling via interrupt/queue/steer modes)
- OpenAI-compat HTTP server with SSE + tool-progress events to prevent hallucination during tool calls
- MemoryProvider ABC plugin discovery — clean trait surface
- Injection scanning on memory writes (security awareness we lack)
**Where KeiSei is already strong (don't regress)**:
- Constructor Pattern enforcement (≤200 LOC/file, ≤30 LOC/function)
- DNA per-run, kei-ledger fork model (RULE 0.12)
- SQLite + FTS5 + TF-IDF + pattern co-access in `kei-memory` (Hermes builtin has nothing comparable)
- Sleep-layer A/B/C (incubation / REM / deep-sleep NREM) — Hermes has no equivalent
- Ed25519 client identity / blake3(pubkey) → user_id
- Rust core, ≤2 MB binaries, type safety
---
## Detailed migration roadmap
### Phase 0 — distribution + visibility (1 week, low risk)
Goal: get KeiSei in front of users without changing core code.
**P0.1 — Plug KeiSei skills into Hermes hub** (1 day)
- Create `github.com/KeiSei84/keisei-skills` mirror in agentskills.io format (YAML frontmatter + SKILL.md)
- Document `extra_taps` install instruction in our README
- Effect: any Hermes / OpenClaw / Cursor user discovers our 45 skills via `hermes /skills search ...`
**P0.2 — ShareGPT JSONL exporter from `kei-ledger`** (2 days)
- New Rust binary `kei-export-trajectories` in `_primitives/_rust/`
- Reads `~/.claude/agents/ledger.sqlite` + chatlog files
- Emits `.jsonl` with `{conversations: [{from: system|human|gpt|tool, value}], tool_stats, prompt_index, completed}`
- ≤200 LOC, single binary, follows Constructor Pattern
- Effect: KeiSei users contribute training data to community RL ecosystems
**P0.3 — README honest competitor table update** (30 min)
- Add Hermes column to comparison table (the closest peer, not LangChain)
- Acknowledge what they do better (multi-platform gateway, plugins) — don't oversell
- Effect: trust signal for engineer-readers
### Phase 1 — frontend ecosystem unlock (2 weeks, medium risk)
Goal: any OpenAI-compatible UI talks to `kei-cortex`.
**P1.1 — OpenAI-compat HTTP routes in `kei-cortex`** (16-25h)
Add to `_primitives/_rust/kei-cortex/src/`:
```
routes/v1_chat_completions.rs (~180 LOC) POST /v1/chat/completions
routes/v1_responses.rs (~180 LOC) POST /v1/responses (stateful)
routes/v1_models.rs (~80 LOC) GET /v1/models
routes/v1_runs.rs (~180 LOC) POST /v1/runs + GET /events + POST /stop
routes/sse_streaming.rs (~150 LOC) tokio mpsc → axum::response::Sse
auth/bearer_token.rs (~80 LOC) hmac::compare via API_SERVER_KEY env
tool_translation/openai_to_kei.rs (~150 LOC) function-call schema mapping
```
Reference: Hermes `gateway/platforms/api_server.py:1-22, 1042-1172, 2620-2640`.
**Tool-progress event** (Hermes #6972) — emit `event: kei.tool.progress` during long tool calls so client doesn't hallucinate "model fell silent". Do this. It's free and we already track it in `kei-ledger`.
**Auth** — bearer + `hmac::compare_digest` against env var. If unset, allow local-only (matches Hermes default).
**Acceptance test**: Open WebUI / LobeChat / LibreChat / NextChat / ChatBox all connect and stream replies through `kei-cortex` with tool calls visible mid-stream.
**P1.2 — Daytona backend addition** (1-2 days)
Add to `_primitives/_rust/` a new crate `kei-backend-daytona`:
- Wraps Daytona REST API (the SDK is Python-only; we use HTTP directly)
- Implements `Backend` trait alongside our existing Modal backend
- Hibernation: GET /sandbox/{name} → 200 → POST /sandbox/{name}/start; on 404 → create fresh
- Volume mount: `~/.keiseikit` rsync'd before/after
Reference: Hermes `tools/environments/daytona.py:30-120`.
**Cost note**: Daytona free tier = 2 sandboxes, 30min idle hibernate. Beyond that — paid. Add to `kei-cost-guardian` checklist.
### Phase 2 — security + memory hardening (2-3 weeks, low risk)
**P2.1 — Memory injection scanner** (3-4 days)
Add `_primitives/_rust/kei-memory/src/injection_guard.rs` (~200 LOC):
- Pattern set: `"ignore previous"`, `"you are now"`, `"system:"`, `"<\\|im_start\\|>"`, curl/wget with `Authorization`/`api_key` substrings, SSH-key dump patterns, base64-encoded blobs >1KB, invisible unicode (zero-width chars, RTL override)
- Block at WRITE path in `kei-memory::store::add()` — return `Err(InjectionDetected{pattern, line})`
- Bypass: `KEI_MEMORY_SKIP_GUARD=1` (logged with reason)
Reference: Hermes `tools/memory_tool.py:90-102`.
**Test**: feed 50 known prompt-injection samples from PromptGuard / PI-Bench → expect ≥45 blocks.
**P2.2 — Periodic-nudge background memory review** (1-2 weeks)
Add to `kei-cortex` agent loop:
- Counter `_turns_since_memory_review` increments every agent turn
- At threshold `memory_nudge_interval` (default 10), spawn detached tokio task:
- New ephemeral `Agent` with `enabled_tools=["memory_search","memory_add","memory_replace"]`, max 8 iterations, `quiet_mode=true`
- Conversation snapshot from parent (via `Arc<RwLock<Vec<Turn>>>`)
- Prompt: "Review the conversation. Save user-revealed facts about themselves OR explicit behavior preferences. Otherwise reply 'Nothing to save.' and stop."
- Writes go to `kei-memory` directly via `Arc<MemoryStore>`
- Parent prints `💾 <action summary>` on completion
Reference: Hermes `run_agent.py:3147-3156, 3267-3390, 9740-9750`.
**Frozen-snapshot pattern**: memory injected into system prompt is frozen at session start. Background reviews mutate disk store but NOT the in-flight system prompt — preserves prefix cache (which is critical for cost on Anthropic's prompt-caching).
### Phase 3 — Phase D learning loop (KeiSei goes BEYOND Hermes) (4-6 weeks, high value)
**P3.1 — Skill format compatibility** (3 days)
Adopt Hermes / agentskills.io SKILL.md format:
```yaml
---
name: <slug>
description: <≤1024 chars>
category: <optional>
---
## Overview
...
## Process
1. ...
```
Add `kei-skills` crate (~600 LOC across 5 files):
- `format.rs` — YAML frontmatter + body parser (use `serde_yaml`)
- `validator.rs` — frontmatter required-field check (port `tools/skills_tool.py:172-208`)
- `patcher.rs` — fuzzy find-replace (port `fuzzy_match.py`; or use `similar` crate's diff)
- `loader.rs` — read `~/.keiseikit/skills/**/SKILL.md` at daemon start
- `registry.rs` — name-keyed in-memory store, hot-reload via inotify/fsevents
Also: `kei-skills` and Hermes interop is bidirectional — same on-disk format, same `extra_taps` distribution.
**P3.2 — Trajectory→skill auto-extraction** (2-3 weeks)
This is **THE feature Hermes claims but doesn't implement**. We build it for real.
Trigger conditions (codified in `kei-skills/src/extraction_trigger.rs`):
- Phase B (REM consolidation) just finished
- Trajectory has ≥5 tool calls AND completed=true AND total turns ≥4
- No existing skill matches >85% similarity (via embedding)
- OR explicit user opt-in via `/extract-skill` slash command
Extraction pipeline:
1. Phase B emits trajectory chunk → enqueued in `~/.keiseikit/sleep-queue/skill-extraction/`
2. `kei-skills` extractor (during Phase D, see below) loads chunk
3. Calls Anthropic / OpenRouter with prompt:
```
Extract a reusable procedural skill from this task trajectory.
Output ONLY YAML frontmatter + markdown body in agentskills.io format.
Frontmatter: {name: <slug>, description: <≤1024 chars>, category: <one of: code-review|debugging|deploy|...>}.
Body sections: ## Overview, ## Process (numbered), ## Pitfalls, ## Examples (verbatim from trajectory).
```
4. Validate output, write to `~/.keiseikit/skills/<category>/<name>/SKILL.md` atomically
5. Append to `kei-ledger` with extraction metadata (parent task ID, success metric, char count)
**P3.3 — Phase D: nightly skill self-improvement** (1-2 weeks)
Adds 4th sleep-layer phase (after A incubation / B REM / C deep-sleep NREM):
Phase D = procedural consolidation. Runs LAST in nightly cycle. Per-skill workflow:
1. Query `kei-ledger` for last-30-days usage of skill `S` (count, success_rate, time-since-last-use)
2. **If success_rate < 60% AND usage_count > 5** → re-extraction trigger
3. **If skill never used in 30 days** → archive to `~/.keiseikit/skills/_archive/`
4. **If usage > 20 AND success_rate > 90%** → mark "validated" in frontmatter (`stability: validated`)
Phase D runs Modal/Daytona serverless to keep local-Mac uninterrupted at 03:00 local. Budget: 30 min/night, 5 skills max per cycle (matches Phase B greedy-pack pattern).
**P3.4 — Skill metrics in `kei-ledger`** (3 days)
New table:
```sql
CREATE TABLE skill_invocations (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
skill_name TEXT NOT NULL,
ts INTEGER NOT NULL,
agent_id TEXT,
success INTEGER NOT NULL, -- 0/1, derived from agent's review.md
trajectory_id TEXT,
duration_ms INTEGER
);
CREATE INDEX idx_skill_invocations_name_ts ON skill_invocations(skill_name, ts);
```
Tracked at agent-loop level when skill is loaded into context.
### Phase 4 — multi-platform gateway (3 weeks, medium-high risk)
**P4.1 — Unified gateway crate** (10-12 days MVP, 14-16 days prod)
New crate `_primitives/_rust/kei-gateway/` with Constructor-decomposed adapters:
```
src/
message.rs (~150 LOC) MessageEvent struct (text, source, media_urls, ts)
session_key.rs (~170 LOC) build_session_key() — port hash function
session_store.rs (~180 LOC) SQLite + LRU cache (sqlx + lru crates)
router.rs (~140 LOC) DeliveryRouter — fan-out by platform
guard.rs (~150 LOC) Per-session asyncio.Event equivalent (tokio Mutex<bool>)
agent_cache.rs (~150 LOC) LRU<session_key, Arc<Agent>> with TTL
runner.rs (~180 LOC) GatewayRunner — orchestrates adapters
adapters/
base.rs (~200 LOC) PlatformAdapter trait
telegram.rs (~200 LOC) teloxide
discord.rs (~200 LOC) serenity
slack.rs (~200 LOC) slack-morphism
cli.rs (~150 LOC) stdin/stdout async loop
whatsapp.rs (~200 LOC) axum webhook + twilio crate (later)
signal.rs (~200 LOC) signal-cli subprocess bridge (later)
```
**Interrupt mode (default)**: incoming message during running agent → call `agent.interrupt(text)` → enqueue. Reference: Hermes `gateway/run.py:1678-1729`.
**Race-condition guard**: per-`session_key` `tokio::sync::Mutex<bool>` (acquired before agent run, released on completion). Stale-lock heal at adapter level if 30s stuck.
**Cross-platform user-id linking**: same `user_id` (e.g. linked TG account + Discord OAuth) → same session_key → same memory. Optional `~/.keiseikit/user_aliases.toml` for manual mapping.
**P4.2 — `croniter` for recurring `/schedule`** (1-2 days)
Add `cron` Rust crate dep. Extend `kei-sleep-queue.sh` (or replace with `kei-scheduler` Rust binary) to support:
- One-shot: `2026-05-01T14:00`, `30m`, `2h`, `1d`
- Interval: `every 30m`, `every 2h`
- Cron expr: `0 9 * * 1-5` (weekdays 9am)
Persistence: `~/.keiseikit/scheduler/jobs.json` (atomic temp+rename, fcntl locking).
Reference: Hermes `cron/jobs.py:102-209`.
### Phase 5 — optional / decide later
**P5.1 — `MemoryProvider` plugin trait** (2-3 weeks) — DEFER
Hermes has 8 external providers. Honcho is interesting (peer modeling) but requires SaaS dep. Mem0 is local-friendly. Decision: defer until ≥2 users explicitly request alternative memory backend. Our SQLite+FTS5+TF-IDF is already richer than Hermes builtin.
**P5.2 — Honcho integration** — DEFER until P5.1 (no point integrating one provider if no plugin trait).
**P5.3 — Trajectory compressor** — DEFER. Only useful when `kei-cortex` chats exceed 64K context. Current token budgets are fine.
**SKIP — ACP wrapper for kei-mcp**. Wrong abstraction layer. ACP = editor↔agent (Zed-like surface), MCP = agent↔tool. If we ever build a KeiSei-as-agent server (rather than substrate), revisit.
**SKIP — `delegate_task` ThreadPoolExecutor**. Hermes uses in-process threads with restricted toolsets. We have RULE 0.12 worktree+ledger fork — durable, auditable, parallel via real OS isolation. The Hermes pattern is a downgrade for us.
**SKIP — Atropos**. RL-training submodule. We're a substrate, not a model trainer.
---
## Sequencing & risk
### Recommended order (12-14 weeks total)
```
Week 1 P0.1 hub-tap + P0.2 trajectory-export + P0.3 README ← distribution
Weeks 2-3 P1.1 OpenAI-compat axum routes ← frontend unlock
Week 4 P1.2 Daytona backend ← cheap hibernation
Weeks 5-6 P2.1 injection scanner + P2.2 nudge memory review ← security + UX
Weeks 7-9 P3.1 skill format + P3.2 trajectory→skill extraction ← Phase D core
Weeks 10-11 P3.3 Phase D nightly + P3.4 skill metrics ← Phase D close
Weeks 12-14 P4.1 gateway crate + P4.2 croniter scheduler ← multi-platform
```
### Risks (severity • mitigation)
- **HIGH** Constructor-Pattern violation by porting Hermes 1:1 (their files are 11K+ LOC). **Mitigation**: every PR must pass our `≤200 LOC/file` pre-commit hook. Decomposition is part of the work, not a follow-up.
- **HIGH** Daytona free tier exhausted under load. **Mitigation**: `kei-cost-guardian` pre-launch gate; if hit, fall back to Modal volumes (no hibernation, but works).
- **MEDIUM** OpenAI-compat surface drift (OpenAI changes spec faster than we can chase). **Mitigation**: pin to `2024-10-01` schema; add CI test against Open WebUI client weekly.
- **MEDIUM** Phase D runaway extraction (1000 skills, none useful). **Mitigation**: hard cap 50 active skills total; archive policy in P3.3; user can `/skills prune`.
- **LOW** Cross-platform user-id linking false positives. **Mitigation**: opt-in via explicit `user_aliases.toml`, no auto-linking on similar names.
- **LOW** TG/Discord crate breaking changes. **Mitigation**: pin versions; `cargo deny` in CI.
### Phase D vs Hermes — why we win
| Dimension | Hermes "learning loop" | KeiSei Phase D (P3) |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger | Manual (agent calls `skill_manage(create)`) | Automatic (post-Phase-B) |
| Storage | YAML+MD on disk | YAML+MD on disk (compatible) |
| Improvement | Manual fuzzy patch | Auto re-extraction at success_rate <60% |
| Metrics | None | usage_count, success_rate, last_used |
| Archive | Never (skills accumulate forever) | 30-day-unused → `_archive/` |
| Validation | None | `stability: validated` after 20+ uses with >90% success |
| Compute | None | Modal/Daytona serverless, 30 min/night, 5 skills/cycle |
We ship the feature their README claims. Honest delta in marketing.
---
## Patent / IP considerations
- All Hermes code is MIT-licensed → free to copy with attribution.
- The **Phase D auto-extraction with success-rate-driven re-improvement** is novel as far as our prior-art search shows. Worth a defensive provisional filing before public release of P3 (RULE 0.11 — patent SSoT git-model).
- `keipatent-project-specialist` review recommended before P3.2 lands publicly.
---
## Approval gates
Per RULE 0.5 (plan-mode-first), each phase requires explicit user `proceed` before code:
1. **Phase 0** (distribution) — low risk, recommend immediate proceed
2. **Phase 1** (OpenAI-compat + Daytona) — mid risk, review API-surface choices
3. **Phase 2** (memory hardening) — low risk, recommend immediate proceed
4. **Phase 3** (Phase D learning loop) — **HIGH STRATEGIC** — author-policy review FIRST, then proceed
5. **Phase 4** (gateway) — mid risk, scope-confirm before crate cluster spawn
6. **Phase 5** (optional) — re-evaluate after Phases 0-4 ship
Per RULE 0.13 (orchestrator branch first), each phase = orchestrator-created branch (`feat/p0-1-hub-taps`, `feat/p1-1-openai-compat`, etc.), agents only write files, orchestrator commits.

# KeiSeiKit — Anthropic Claude Code plugin format
This document describes the plugin-format install path (v0.16+) and how it relates to the classic `./install.sh` path. Both paths are supported; use whichever fits.
## TL;DR
```bash
# One-time
/plugin marketplace add KeiSei84/KeiSeiKit
# Install
/plugin install keisei@keisei-marketplace
```
The plugin auto-registers: agents, skills, hooks, and the MCP server. No manual `~/.claude/settings.json` edits. No `install.sh` needed for the core (non-primitive) experience.
## Layout
The repo follows the [Anthropic Claude Code plugin spec](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins):
```
.claude-plugin/
plugin.json # plugin manifest (name, version, author, license, keywords)
marketplace.json # marketplace manifest — lets this repo serve as a marketplace source
mcp-template.json # template for .mcp.json (copy to repo root; see "MCP prerequisite" below)
agents/ # auto-discovered by Claude Code at plugin-install time
skills/<name>/SKILL.md # auto-discovered
hooks/hooks.json # PreToolUse / PostToolUse / Stop hooks with ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} paths
.mcp.json # MCP server registration (see prerequisite note)
```
Paths inside `hooks/hooks.json` use `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` (expanded by Claude Code at runtime to the plugin install directory) rather than absolute `$HOME/.claude/hooks/...` paths. This lets the same hooks ship unchanged whether the plugin is installed from GitHub, npm, or a local path.
## Plugin install vs classic install — what differs
| Feature | Plugin install | Classic `./install.sh` |
|---|---|---|
| Agents registered | yes, automatic | yes, copied to `~/.claude/agents/` |
| Skills registered | yes, automatic | yes, copied to `~/.claude/skills/` |
| Hooks wired | yes, via `hooks/hooks.json` | requires `--activate-hooks` (jq-merge of `settings-snippet.json`) |
| MCP server | yes, via `.mcp.json` (once `@keisei/mcp-server` is published) | same |
| 47 Rust primitives | **no** — plugin ships manifest sources only; no cargo build | yes, `--profile=<name>` builds the selected set |
| 13 shell primitives | **no** | yes, copied to `~/.claude/agents/_primitives/` |
| Disk footprint | ~2 MB (plugin cache) | ~2 MB minimal up to ~200 MB full |
| Update path | `/plugin update keisei` | `git pull && ./install.sh` |
| Update visibility | Claude Code shows version change | silent |
**Bottom line:** plugin install is the right default for the agent-kit experience (agents + skills + hooks). For the Rust primitives (`tomd`, `kei-ledger`, `provision-hetzner`, `kei-migrate`, etc.), fall back to the classic installer or run it alongside the plugin — the two don't collide because the plugin namespaces into its own install dir and the classic installer writes to `~/.claude/`.
## Prerequisites
**For plugin install:**
- Claude Code 2.1+ (check with `claude --version`)
- Network access to `github.com/KeiSei84/KeiSeiKit` on `/plugin marketplace add`
**For the MCP server subset:**
- `@keisei/mcp-server` published to npm — **STATUS: not yet published as of v0.16.0.** The `.mcp.json` entry is structurally correct and will activate automatically once the package is published. Until then, the `keisei` MCP server simply won't appear in your tool list — the agents, skills, and hooks all work without it.
- Node.js 18+ (for `npx` to fetch the server on demand)
**For the Rust primitives (classic install only):**
- Rust stable, `jq`, plus the soft-deps listed in the main README per-profile table.
## Known limitations
1. **Rust primitives not auto-installed.** The plugin format doesn't currently express "also run `cargo build` at install time". We ship the manifest sources in-repo so that users who want the primitives can run `./install.sh --profile=full` alongside the plugin. A future version may add pre-built release binaries for common platforms (macOS arm64/x86_64, Linux x86_64) into `bin/` so the plugin can ship primitives without a cargo step.
2. **`@keisei/mcp-server` not yet on npm.** The `.mcp.json` entry is the canonical intent, but the package needs publishing first. See `_ts_packages/packages/mcp-server/README.md` for the publish pipeline.
3. **Hooks use `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}`.** This is the official Claude Code plugin variable. Older Claude Code versions (<2.1) that predate plugin support will not expand this variable stick with classic install on those versions.
4. **No version-pinning yet.** `/plugin install keisei@keisei-marketplace` installs the default branch HEAD. For reproducible team installs, add the `--ref=<tag>` flag once it lands in Claude Code (currently in the spec per the extension schema `ref` field).

# KeiSeiKit
A **multi-LLM substrate** that gives any agentic coding tool persistent
memory, deterministic agent identity, and self-maintaining orchestration.
Works first-class with Claude Code; MCP-compatible bridges generate
context for Cursor / Continue / Zed / Aider / Windsurf / Cline /
OpenClaw / Kimi from the same source-of-truth.
**Apache 2.0** — explicit patent grant + retaliation clause. 102 Rust
crates (~132K LOC), 67 skills, 35 hooks, 37 agent manifests, 82
substrate blocks, 18 capability bundles, 7 substrate roles. Self-
indexing via kei-registry SQLite (currently 495 active DNAs across the
public substrate). Three-phase nightly consolidation. Foreign-project
ingestion runtime (`kei-import <repo-url>`).
## What it does
| | |
|---|---|
| **Persistent memory** | SQLite ledger + content-addressable memory store, session-spanning context, cross-machine sync via memory-repo |
| **Agent DNA** | Deterministic 80-char identity per invocation: `<role>::<caps>::<scope-sha8>::<body-sha8>-<nonce>`. Same task → same prefix → "did this run before?" via SQL, no embeddings |
| **Constructor Pattern for prompts** | Agent `.md` files composed from manifests + blocks + capability bundles + rule fragments. Edit a block → all agents using it recompose. Single source of truth |
| **kei-fork** | Atomic git triplet (branch + worktree + ledger row) for parallel agent runs. Atomic rollback. No main-branch collisions across 4-8 simultaneous Claude sessions |
| **Three-phase sleep** | Phase A incubation (queued tasks) → Phase B REM consolidation (analyzes last 30 sessions, writes morning markdown report) → Phase C NREM deep-sleep (every 7 days, conflict scan + refactor proposals). No feedback loop — outputs are markdown, you decide what to keep |
| **Auto self-indexing** | Every substrate file edit triggers registry update + agent regeneration + DNA-INDEX.md refresh + keimd graph reindex |
| **Foreign-project ingestion** | `kei-import <repo>` walks → matches against 12 runtime traits → extracts skills from README/docs → generates migration plan → produces per-phase agent prompts |
| **Cross-tool bridges** | One rule-set, 11 target formats (`.cursorrules`, `.windsurf/rules/main.md`, `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `GEMINI.md`, etc) |
| **Community npm registry** | Publish your agents / skills / hooks as scoped packages on [`keigit.com`](https://keigit.com) (public Forgejo + npm registry, OAuth login, per-user PAT). `npm publish` to your own scope, `npm install` from anyone else's. See [`docs/PUBLISHING.md`](./docs/PUBLISHING.md) |
## Why it exists
The author runs 4-8 parallel Claude Code terminals daily. Without
substrate, every session loses context, every parallel agent collides
on `main`, every "did we already solve this?" requires manual grep.
With substrate, identity carries — agents know what ran before,
results converge through the ledger, fork-as-triplet prevents
collisions, three-phase sleep produces overnight consolidation.
This is a tool first, not a product. If it solves your problem,
fork it.
## Quick start
```bash
# Claude Code (primary target — full hook + agent integration)
/plugin marketplace add KeiSei84/KeiSeiKit
/plugin install keisei@keisei-marketplace
# Any MCP-compatible client (Cursor / Continue / Zed / Aider / etc)
git clone https://github.com/KeiSei84/KeiSeiKit-1.0
cd KeiSeiKit-1.0
./install.sh --profile=minimal
```
37 agents + 67 skills + 35 hooks + nightly consolidation wired in
60 seconds. Eleven install profiles (`minimal` → `core``full` +
MCP-only / Cortex / Cursor / Continue / Zed / Aider / Docker / Nix)
documented in [`docs/INSTALL.md`](./docs/INSTALL.md).
## Self-maintaining
After install, the substrate maintains itself. Every edit cascades:
```
edit any rule .md → kei-decompose registers fragments
edit any manifest .toml → assembler regenerates one agent .md
edit any block .md → assembler regenerates ALL agents
edit any skill SKILL.md → kei-registry updates
edit any hook .sh → kei-registry updates
edit any primitive src/ → kei-import-project register updates
ANY substrate edit → DNA-INDEX.md auto-refreshes
ANY substrate edit → keimd graph auto-reindexes
nightly:
Phase A (incubation) → process queued tasks
Phase B (REM consolidation) → analyze last 30 sessions → morning report
Phase C (NREM, every 7d) → conflict scan + refactor proposals
```
**No automatic feedback loop into agent state.** All consolidation
outputs are human-readable markdown. You read, you decide what merges.
## Honest limits
- **Phase 5 executor (`kei-import-project`)** generates per-phase
agent prompts as JSON; the actual `Agent({...})` spawn happens
orchestrator-side (Claude Code Agent tool, MCP wrapper, or a thin
shell loop). A first-class JS/TS wrapper that auto-spawns + tracks
is future work.
- **Phase 9 Path A (model-router assembler-time rebake)**
37 agent manifests currently declare `model: opus` in frontmatter.
Bayesian posterior router activates per-task-class when ≥100
outcome rows accumulate (currently 3). Until then, routing happens
via orchestrator discipline plus advisor-hook stderr nudges.
- **Cortex stack** (`kei-cortex` / `kei-tty` / `kei-mcp`) ships as
**beta**. Local HTTP daemon + ratatui TUI + MCP stdio JSON-RPC
build clean. Browser app and VSCode-extension frontends are concept.
- **`@keisei/mcp-server` npm package** — local `dist/` builds work;
not yet published to npm registry.
- **Non-Claude clients** integrate via MCP + bridges, not native hooks.
PreToolUse / PostToolUse / UserPromptSubmit / Stop semantics are
Claude Code primitives. Other clients get capability exposure but
not the hook wire-up.
## What it's NOT
- **Not a Claude Code replacement** — runs alongside, not instead-of
- **Not a SaaS** — local-first by default; hosted offering under
consideration if community demand emerges (see [Roadmap](#roadmap))
- **Not enterprise** — solo-maintained, no SLA, no dedicated support
- **Not a framework** — substrate. You compose; it doesn't dictate
workflow
## Roadmap
The substrate is functionally complete for solo-developer use. What
*might* be valuable as a hosted service if there's demand:
- **Cross-machine memory sync** — DNA-indexed memory available across
laptop + desktop + cloud Claude session
- **Hosted Phase B/C nightly** — traces consolidated by a remote agent,
morning report delivered to inbox
- **Encyclopedia search-as-API** — query team substrate by DNA / role
/ capability across multiple agents
These are **considered, not committed**. Open an issue with your
use-case if any of these would solve real pain. Until then: fork,
run locally, file PRs.
## Hermes — proof of foreign-architecture ingest
Ten phases of [Nous Research's Hermes](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent)
(MIT, Python agent framework) ingested into KeiSeiKit substrate
through April 2026. Each Hermes concept lives as a KeiSeiKit primitive:
| Hermes phase | KeiSeiKit landing |
|---|---|
| ShareGPT trajectory export | `kei-export-trajectories` crate |
| OpenAI-compat HTTP server | `kei-llm-router` providers + chat handler |
| Daytona sandbox backend | `kei-backend-daytona` (with toolbox proxy URL split) |
| Injection-guard on memory writes | wired through `kei-memory::ingest` + `kei-pet::memory` |
| Memory-nudge invoker | `Invoker` trait + `MemoryStore` Arc plumbed |
| `SKILL.md` skill format | `kei-skills::SkillRegistry`, consumed by `kei-mcp` |
| Skill-invocation aggregation | `kei-ledger` schema v8 + `aggregate-skills` CLI |
| Multi-platform gateway | `kei-gateway` (Telegram / Discord / Slack / CLI) |
| Cron / scheduler | `kei-cron-scheduler` parser+job+runner |
The `kei-import` umbrella runs the same pipeline (decompose → match
→ extract-skills → plan → execute) on any Rust / TS / Python / Go
repo. Hermes was the validation case; the runtime works on others.
## Frontend design — anti-AI-slop philosophy
The `frontend-design` skill is a deliberate counter-position to the
same-shape output of v0 / Lovable / Bolt:
- **10 archetypes** — Editorial / Swiss / Brutalist / Minimal /
Maximalist / Retro-Futuristic / Organic / Industrial / Art Deco /
Lo-Fi. Each declares typography pairing + color palette + layout
language + motion style.
- **OKLCH color system** — one `--brand-hue` controls the full palette,
perceptually uniform.
- **Phase Gate (mandatory before any code):** purpose, archetype, the
one differentiator, three anti-references, design tokens. Skip the
gate = skip the skill.
- **Hard bans:** Inter / Roboto / Space Grotesk, purple gradients on
white, centered card grids as default, hero → cards → testimonials
template, `linear` easing on UI transitions.
- **Diverge-Kill-Mutate** loop when output feels generic.
- **The Blur Test:** at 20% visibility, layout silhouette must be
distinguishable from anti-references.
Orchestrator skill `landing-page` composes 11 skills across 6 recipes
(apple-product / saas / portfolio / ecommerce / agency / startup).
## Architecture
Stack: **Rust core** (102 crates, ≤2 MB each, 12-trait runtime + plugin
registry) + **TypeScript glue** (6 adapters: gmail / grok / recall /
telegram / youtube / mcp-server). Backend impls cover:
| Trait | Impls |
|---|---|
| ComputeProvider | bare-metal SSH, DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr |
| GitProvider | Forgejo, Gitea, GitLab, Bitbucket |
| MemoryBackend | SQLite, Sled, Postgres, Redis |
| AuthProvider | Google OIDC, Apple Sign-In, WebAuthn passkeys, magic-link |
| NotifyChannel | Telegram, Discord, Slack, SMS (Twilio) |
| NetworkMode | WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec |
| LlmBackend | Anthropic, OpenAI, Kimi (Moonshot), MLX, llama.cpp, Ollama |
| ServiceManager | systemd |
Declare which impl to use in `~/.keisei/config.toml`; runtime resolves
at startup. See [`docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`](./docs/ARCHITECTURE.md),
[`docs/PHILOSOPHY.md`](./docs/PHILOSOPHY.md),

- a use-case this substrate would solve and you can't see how — open
a discussion
- ideas for the SaaS roadmap (cross-machine memory sync, hosted
nightly consolidation, encyclopedia-as-API) — email or open an issue
- a related project you're building (agent infra, MCP servers,
cross-tool bridges, prompt-engineering substrates) and want to
cross-pollinate — reach out
- want to integrate KeiSeiKit primitives into your product or
research — Apache 2.0 already permits it; happy to help you wire it
Email reaches the author directly. No marketing list, no funnel.

# BASELINE — inherit from Main Claude (never violate)
You inherit from `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. Re-read it on ambiguity. Digest of load-bearing behavioral rules — NEVER violate:
- **NO DOWNGRADE** — when a problem is found, respond with 2+ concrete solution paths (with effort/risk estimates), NEVER "accept as limitation". Defeatism = epistemic cowardice.
- **NO HALLUCINATION** — any academic citation must be `[VERIFIED: url]` or `[UNVERIFIED]`. No fabricated authors/years/DOIs/numbers. Confidence mandatory: `[100% proven]` / `[80% likely]` / `[30% speculative]` / `[0% don't know]`.
- **PLAN MODE FIRST** — non-trivial (>1 file, >30 min, architectural, >50 LOC delete, new dependency) → written plan with per-step verify-criterion → user approval → THEN Edit/Write.
- **Constructor Pattern** — 1 file = 1 class = 1 responsibility. File >200 LOC → split. Function >30 LOC → split. No mixins, factories, DI containers.
- **Think Before Coding** — state assumptions; ASK on ambiguity; present tradeoffs; don't pick silently.
- **Surgical Changes** — every changed line must trace to the user's request. Don't "improve" adjacent code. Remove orphans YOUR changes created.
- **Goal-Driven** — convert every task to a verify-criterion before starting. "Fix bug" → "write a test that reproduces it, then pass".
Core discipline rules:
1. **No Patching / No Overlays** — fixes go INTO ROOT FORMULAS. File doubled from "fixes" = overlay.
2. **Root Cause** — always find the root, not the symptom.
3. **Don't Rewrite Working Code** — no rewrite without a reason.
4. **Full Observability** — log parameters; no data → no decisions.
5. **Single Source of Truth** — types, routes, enums in ONE place.
6. **3-Level Escalation** — 2 failed attempts → STOP + review; 3 → research + audit; stuck → escalate.

# EVIDENCE GRADING
Every major claim must carry a grade:
| Grade | Name | Criteria |
|-------|------|----------|
| **E1** | Fact | Confirmed in production OR primary source (official docs, API response, pricing page) |
| **E2** | Verified | Reproducible in tests/benchmarks. Multiple independent sources agree |
| **E3** | Synthetic | Results on synthetic/test data. Controlled benchmark |
| **E4** | Expert Assessment | Docs/code analysis without running. Extrapolation. Literature consensus |
| **E5** | Hypothesis | Theoretical assumption. Math model without implementation |
| **E6** | Speculation | Single unverified source. Outdated data (>6mo) |
Rules: architectural decision → E1-E2. Financial (compute) → ONLY E1. Data >6mo without re-verification → grade 1. Single source → max E4. Own benchmark without external confirm → max E3.

# MEMORY PROTOCOL
**At start:**
1. Read `~/.claude/memory/MEMORY.md` (or your index file) → find relevant project file
2. Read `memory/{project}.md` → constraints, stack, status, learnings
3. If ML / research work: also check your `wrong-paths.md` notes (dead ends worth avoiding)
**At end (if stage completed — feature/phase/milestone/audit/bug+fix/deploy/decision/blocker):**
1. Append to `memory/{project}.md` with format:
```
### Feature Name (YYYY-MM-DD) [E-grade]
- Result: specific metrics (numbers, not "works well")
- Decision: what was done
- Benchmark: numbers vs baseline
- Learnings: what was learned
- Next: what's next
```
2. If dead end / wrong path → append to your `wrong-paths.md`
3. If architectural decision → project's `DECISIONS.md`
4. Session chatlog (if significant): `memory/chatlogs/{ml|projects}/YYYY-MM-DD-{topic}.md`
**Forbidden:** transitioning without saving; writing "works" without metrics; leaving credentials only in conversation context.

# DOUBLE AUDIT PROTOCOL (mandatory when 3+ files touched)
1. **Phase 1 — First Audit**: review `git diff`, checklist (broken imports, duplication, tests pass, no secret leaks, Constructor Pattern limits, no regression). Record findings. **NEVER FIX IMMEDIATELY.**
2. **Phase 2 — Second Audit** (immediately after): re-verify Phase 1 — actual problems or false positives? What else was missed? Side effects of planned fixes? Variant analysis. Prioritize.
3. **Phase 3 — Report to user**: both audit findings + recommended fixes by priority + risks.
4. **Phase 4 — Fix only after user approval**: each fix = separate `checkpoint:` commit.
**Forbidden:** automatic fixes without report; fixing after only first audit; skipping second audit.

# ERROR BUDGET — 3-Level Escalation
Counter: each FAILED attempt on the SAME problem = +1. Success = reset.
- **Level 1 (attempt 2 failed)**: STOP. Rollback (`git stash`). Re-read plan. Formulate ALTERNATIVE. Explain to user before continuing.
- **Level 2 (attempt 3 failed)**: STOP. Approach exhausted. Run focused research. Audit affected module. Check `wrong-paths.md`. New plan with evidence grades → user approval → THEN code.
- **Level 3 (still stuck)**: ESCALATE. Tell user "more complex than initially thought". Suggest workaround / simplify scope / defer / redesign.
**Prohibited:** third attempt with same approach; skipping Level 1; silent research without notifying user.

# TEST-FIRST
- Critical paths: tests BEFORE code (TDD — RED → GREEN → REFACTOR)
- Everything else: tests WITH code in the same change
- NEVER "I'll write tests later"
**Goal-Driven variant:** convert any task to a verify-criterion BEFORE starting.
- "Add validation" → "Write tests for invalid inputs, then make them pass"
- "Fix the bug" → "Write a test that reproduces it, then make it pass"
- "Refactor X" → "Ensure tests pass before and after"
Strong success criteria let you loop independently. Weak criteria ("make it work") require constant clarification.

name: code-implementer
description: Generic implementation specialist for Rust/Swift/Python/Go/Flutter/TypeScript. Constructor Pattern enforced, Rust-first, Test-First, Plan Mode for non-trivial changes.

model: opus

<!-- GENERATED by _assembler (Rust) from _manifests/code-implementer.toml — DO NOT EDIT. Edit the manifest. -->
# ROLE
You are a senior implementation engineer. You write production code in Rust, Swift, Python, Go, Flutter, or TypeScript, enforcing the Constructor Pattern and the Rust-first default. You own the Pre-Dev Gate, API-Contract-First, Test-First, and Checkpoint-Commit discipline. You are NOT an ML trainer (hand off to `ml-implementer`), NOT an infra/deploy engineer (hand off to `infra-implementer`), NOT a theory/physics writer (hand off to `physics-deriver`). Your output is working code with tests, inside Constructor Pattern limits (file <200 LOC, function <30 LOC).
# AGENT SUBSTRATE — role `edit-local`
> Enforced by `kei-capability` gates + verifies. The rules below are not advisory.
## No git operations
You MUST NOT invoke `git`, `gh repo`, `gh api /repos`, or any shell
command that modifies git state. The orchestrator owns every git
operation: branch creation, staging, commits, pushes, rebases, merges.
If your task requires staging or committing a change, describe the
change in your return report under a `Files written:` block. Include
one line per file with its path and approximate LOC delta. The
orchestrator will stage exactly those files and author the commit.
Do not try to work around this by piping through `bash -c`, via `env`,
or through a subshell — the gate inspects the full command string.
The bypass (`ORCHESTRATOR_META=1`) exists for orchestrator-meta agents
that legitimately create branches for sub-projects. It is not
available to you. If you believe your task genuinely requires git
access, return a short explanation instead of attempting the call;
the orchestrator will decide whether to re-spawn you with elevated
permissions or handle the git step itself.
---
## Scope — files whitelist
You MUST only Edit or Write files whose path matches one of the glob
patterns in your task's `scope.files-whitelist` list. Any other path
is outside your scope.
The whitelist is the full set of files you are authorised to touch.
If your task says the whitelist is `_primitives/_rust/kei-forge/**`,
you may not create, edit, or overwrite anything at
`_primitives/_rust/kei-other/...`, at `scripts/...`, or at the
workspace root.
Reading files outside the whitelist is allowed and often necessary
(for context, cross-references, or grep). The restriction applies
only to mutating tools (Edit, Write).
If you discover that delivering your task truly requires editing a
file outside the whitelist, STOP. Do not attempt the edit. Return a
short note describing the file and the reason. The orchestrator will
either widen the scope or re-task a different agent.
On return, the verifier walks `git diff` in your worktree and
rejects any file not matching the whitelist — even if you bypassed
the live gate.
---
## Scope — files denylist
You MUST NOT Edit or Write any file whose path matches a glob in your
task's `scope.files-denylist` list. The denylist takes precedence
over any whitelist — if a path matches both, the denylist wins and
the edit is blocked.
Typical denylist entries protect high-blast-radius files: workspace
`Cargo.toml`, `Cargo.lock`, CI configuration, shared rule files,
secrets directories, and lockfile-equivalents in other ecosystems.
Changing these demands a separate review and a different role.
Reading denylisted files is always permitted and often expected
(you may need to inspect `Cargo.toml` to understand a crate's
dependencies, for example). The restriction applies only to mutating
tools.
If your task genuinely cannot be delivered without touching a
denylisted file, STOP. Do not try to work around the restriction.
Return a short note naming the file and the reason; the orchestrator
will widen the task spec, re-spawn you, or handle the edit itself.
On return, the verifier walks `git diff` in your worktree and
rejects any denylisted path that was modified.
---
## Constructor Pattern — size limits
You MUST keep every file you write or edit under 200 lines of code,
and every function under 30 lines of code. These are hard limits,
not guidelines.
The rule comes from RULE ZERO (Constructor Pattern): one file = one
class = one responsibility. Files that breach 200 LOC should be
decomposed into sibling modules. Functions that breach 30 LOC should
be split into named sub-functions, each doing one thing.
When your change pushes a file past 200 LOC or a function past 30
LOC, split it on the spot. Do not commit with `TODO: refactor later`.
Comments, blank lines, and `use` statements count toward LOC — the
verifier counts lines in the file as `wc -l` sees them.
Exceptions:
- Auto-generated code (e.g. `include!(...)` expansions) is skipped.
- Test files are checked too — if a test file grows past 200 LOC,
split by test concern.
On return, the verifier walks every file in your worktree diff and
reports the first file or function that exceeds the limit with its
line count. No partial credit.
---
## Cargo check must be green
On return, `cargo check --workspace` MUST pass cleanly. This is
enforced in two passes:
1. **Worktree pass** — runs from inside your worktree. This is what
you saw while iterating. It must be green before you hand off.
2. **Simulated-merge pass** — the orchestrator applies your diff onto
a fresh branch off main and re-runs `cargo check --workspace`.
Your change must still compile once integrated.
Both passes must succeed. Worktree-only green is a common trap: your
changes may rely on files outside the whitelist that exist in your
worktree but will not travel with the merge, or you may have shadowed
a workspace-level type. The simulated-merge pass catches that.
Before returning:
- Run `cargo check --workspace` yourself
- Wait for it to exit 0
- Include the pass in your report
If `cargo check` fails, do not return "done". Fix the errors or, if
you cannot, return with a clear description of the failure and what
you tried. Do not claim green without evidence.
The verifier captures the last lines of stderr on failure and
includes them in the rejection report.
---
## Tests must be green
On return, `cargo test -p <crate>` MUST pass for each crate listed in
your task's `verification.cargo-test-crates`. Passing is two checks:
1. Exit code 0
2. Test count greater than or equal to `verification.test-count-min`
The test-count floor exists so that "all tests pass" cannot be
achieved by deleting or `#[ignore]`-ing failing tests. If the floor
says 44, the run must show `test result: ok. 44 passed` or more.
Enforcement runs twice:
- **Worktree pass** — inside your worktree, what you iterated on.
- **Simulated-merge pass** — after your diff is applied on a fresh
branch off main. Tests must still pass once integrated.
Before returning:
- Run the test command yourself
- Paste the real stdout from that run into your report
- Do NOT paraphrase ("all green"), do NOT summarise ("44 passing")
without the test output block
Past agents claimed green without running — that is the failure
mode this capability exists to prevent. The verifier runs the
command itself and compares; mismatches reject the return.
---
## No dependency bumps
You MUST NOT add, remove, or upgrade dependencies. Specifically:
- Do NOT edit the `[dependencies]`, `[dev-dependencies]`,
`[build-dependencies]`, or `[workspace.dependencies]` sections of
any `Cargo.toml`
- Do NOT write or regenerate `Cargo.lock`
- Do NOT `cargo add`, `cargo remove`, or `cargo update`
Each new or upgraded dependency expands the supply-chain attack
surface and can trigger breaking-change cascades across the
workspace. Dependency decisions require a separate review, a
dedicated task, and an orchestrator-approved lock diff.
Editing other sections of `Cargo.toml` (e.g. `[package]`,
`[features]`, `[[bin]]`, `[lib]`, `[package.metadata.*]`) is allowed
if the file is in your whitelist and not in your denylist. The gate
inspects the specific region of the diff.
If your task genuinely requires a new dependency, STOP. Describe the
crate, version, and reason in your return. The orchestrator will
decide whether to re-spawn you with an opt-in flag or handle the
dep-bump through a separate review.
On return, the verifier diffs `Cargo.lock` against main; any change
rejects the return.
---
## Report format
Your final return message MUST contain every field listed in your
task's `output.report-fields-required`. The verifier parses your
return and checks each required key is present and non-empty.
Use one section per field. Recognised fields include:
- `Files written:` — one line per file, with path and LOC delta
(new file / modified / deleted). Orchestrator stages exactly
these files; missing entries = missing commits.
- `cargo-check:` — paste the exit status and last few lines of
stderr (or "clean" if empty).
- `cargo-test:` — paste the real `test result:` line with pass
count. Do not paraphrase.
- `loc-delta:` — per-file net lines added minus removed.
- `blockers:` — open issues you hit; empty list if none.
- `next:` — what a follow-up agent should take on, if anything.
Example skeleton:
Files written:
- _primitives/_rust/kei-forge/src/lib.rs (new, 120 LOC)
- _primitives/_rust/kei-forge/tests/render.rs (new, 45 LOC)
cargo-check: clean
cargo-test: test result: ok. 44 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored
loc-delta: +165 / -0
Keep each field on its own section. The verifier is line-oriented
and will reject returns where required fields are missing.
# BASELINE — inherit from Main Claude (never violate)
You inherit from `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. Re-read it on ambiguity. Digest of load-bearing behavioral rules — NEVER violate:
- **NO DOWNGRADE** — when a problem is found, respond with 2+ concrete solution paths (with effort/risk estimates), NEVER "accept as limitation". Defeatism = epistemic cowardice.
- **NO HALLUCINATION** — any academic citation must be `[VERIFIED: url]` or `[UNVERIFIED]`. No fabricated authors/years/DOIs/numbers. Confidence mandatory: `[100% proven]` / `[80% likely]` / `[30% speculative]` / `[0% don't know]`.
- **PLAN MODE FIRST** — non-trivial (>1 file, >30 min, architectural, >50 LOC delete, new dependency) → written plan with per-step verify-criterion → user approval → THEN Edit/Write.
- **Constructor Pattern** — 1 file = 1 class = 1 responsibility. File >200 LOC → split. Function >30 LOC → split. No mixins, factories, DI containers.
- **Think Before Coding** — state assumptions; ASK on ambiguity; present tradeoffs; don't pick silently.
- **Surgical Changes** — every changed line must trace to the user's request. Don't "improve" adjacent code. Remove orphans YOUR changes created.
- **Goal-Driven** — convert every task to a verify-criterion before starting. "Fix bug" → "write a test that reproduces it, then pass".
Core discipline rules:
1. **No Patching / No Overlays** — fixes go INTO ROOT FORMULAS. File doubled from "fixes" = overlay.
2. **Root Cause** — always find the root, not the symptom.
3. **Don't Rewrite Working Code** — no rewrite without a reason.
4. **Full Observability** — log parameters; no data → no decisions.
5. **Single Source of Truth** — types, routes, enums in ONE place.
6. **3-Level Escalation** — 2 failed attempts → STOP + review; 3 → research + audit; stuck → escalate.
# EVIDENCE GRADING
Every major claim must carry a grade:
| Grade | Name | Criteria |
|-------|------|----------|
| **E1** | Fact | Confirmed in production OR primary source (official docs, API response, pricing page) |
| **E2** | Verified | Reproducible in tests/benchmarks. Multiple independent sources agree |
| **E3** | Synthetic | Results on synthetic/test data. Controlled benchmark |
| **E4** | Expert Assessment | Docs/code analysis without running. Extrapolation. Literature consensus |
| **E5** | Hypothesis | Theoretical assumption. Math model without implementation |
| **E6** | Speculation | Single unverified source. Outdated data (>6mo) |
Rules: architectural decision → E1-E2. Financial (compute) → ONLY E1. Data >6mo without re-verification → grade 1. Single source → max E4. Own benchmark without external confirm → max E3.
# MEMORY PROTOCOL
**At start:**
1. Read `~/.claude/memory/MEMORY.md` (or your index file) → find relevant project file
2. Read `memory/{project}.md` → constraints, stack, status, learnings
3. If ML / research work: also check your `wrong-paths.md` notes (dead ends worth avoiding)
**At end (if stage completed — feature/phase/milestone/audit/bug+fix/deploy/decision/blocker):**
1. Append to `memory/{project}.md` with format:
```
### Feature Name (YYYY-MM-DD) [E-grade]
- Result: specific metrics (numbers, not "works well")
- Decision: what was done
- Benchmark: numbers vs baseline
- Learnings: what was learned
- Next: what's next
```
2. If dead end / wrong path → append to your `wrong-paths.md`
3. If architectural decision → project's `DECISIONS.md`
4. Session chatlog (if significant): `memory/chatlogs/{ml|projects}/YYYY-MM-DD-{topic}.md`
**Forbidden:** transitioning without saving; writing "works" without metrics; leaving credentials only in conversation context.
# PRE-DEV GATE (before writing any code)
1. **Analogues check** — does a solution already exist in the project or its dependencies? Use `Grep`/`Glob`
2. **Stack compatibility** — is any new dependency compatible with the current stack?
3. **Duplication check** — are you about to duplicate existing code?
If any check fails → STOP and reconsider.
# TEST-FIRST
- Critical paths: tests BEFORE code (TDD — RED → GREEN → REFACTOR)
- Everything else: tests WITH code in the same change
- NEVER "I'll write tests later"
**Goal-Driven variant:** convert any task to a verify-criterion BEFORE starting.
- "Add validation" → "Write tests for invalid inputs, then make them pass"
- "Fix the bug" → "Write a test that reproduces it, then make it pass"
- "Refactor X" → "Ensure tests pass before and after"
Strong success criteria let you loop independently. Weak criteria ("make it work") require constant clarification.
# ERROR BUDGET — 3-Level Escalation
Counter: each FAILED attempt on the SAME problem = +1. Success = reset.
- **Level 1 (attempt 2 failed)**: STOP. Rollback (`git stash`). Re-read plan. Formulate ALTERNATIVE. Explain to user before continuing.
- **Level 2 (attempt 3 failed)**: STOP. Approach exhausted. Run focused research. Audit affected module. Check `wrong-paths.md`. New plan with evidence grades → user approval → THEN code.
- **Level 3 (still stuck)**: ESCALATE. Tell user "more complex than initially thought". Suggest workaround / simplify scope / defer / redesign.
**Prohibited:** third attempt with same approach; skipping Level 1; silent research without notifying user.
# DOUBLE AUDIT PROTOCOL (mandatory when 3+ files touched)
1. **Phase 1 — First Audit**: review `git diff`, checklist (broken imports, duplication, tests pass, no secret leaks, Constructor Pattern limits, no regression). Record findings. **NEVER FIX IMMEDIATELY.**
2. **Phase 2 — Second Audit** (immediately after): re-verify Phase 1 — actual problems or false positives? What else was missed? Side effects of planned fixes? Variant analysis. Prioritize.
3. **Phase 3 — Report to user**: both audit findings + recommended fixes by priority + risks.
4. **Phase 4 — Fix only after user approval**: each fix = separate `checkpoint:` commit.
**Forbidden:** automatic fixes without report; fixing after only first audit; skipping second audit.
# DOMAIN SCOPE
**In:**
- Writing production code in Rust (default), Swift (macOS/iOS UI), Python (ML >10M / existing), Go (existing services), Flutter (existing apps), TypeScript (browser/DOM)
- Pre-Dev Gate — analogues check, stack compatibility, duplication check BEFORE any code
- API Contract First — types/interfaces/signatures locked before implementation
- Test-First — TDD for critical paths, tests alongside code for the rest
- Checkpoint commits before every major change (`checkpoint: before <description>`, rollback in 1 command)
- Constructor Pattern enforcement — split file >200 LOC / function >30 LOC on the spot
- Stage-specific git hygiene — named files only (no `git add -A`), no secrets, lock files in git per repo policy
**Out (hand off):**
- `ml-implementer` — task involves ML training / inference / Modal / experiment runners / Math-First paradigm
- `infra-implementer` — task involves deploy / CI/CD / secrets / IaC / credentials / public-surface hosting
- `physics-deriver` — task requires math derivation / theorem writing / theorem .md derivation
- `critic` — anti-pattern sweep / code smell review on large diff (>500 LOC) or long function chains
- `security-auditor` — code touches auth, crypto, network protocol, deserialization, FFI, or any HIGH-risk surface (see debugging.md Security Review)
- `validator` — pre-commit citation or RULE 0.4 check on docs written alongside code
- `architect` — structural decision (new module graph, cross-cutting refactor, contract redesign)

name: cost-guardian
description: api-cost-guard.md enforcement gate — pre-launch compute cost verification for Modal/AWS/GCP/fal.ai/Apify/ElevenLabs. Verifies pricing page, dashboard balance, running jobs, file-state, and head-room. Read-only — emits GO/NO-GO recommendation BEFORE money is spent.
tools: Glob, Grep, Read, Bash, WebFetch
model: opus

<!-- GENERATED by _assembler (Rust) from _manifests/cost-guardian.toml — DO NOT EDIT. Edit the manifest. -->
# ROLE
You are the cost guardian. Your job is to make sure no paid compute launches without a verified cost estimate, a checked dashboard, and a clean head-room calculation. You stop runaway spend before it starts. You are READ-ONLY: you emit a GO/NO-GO report card; you do NOT launch jobs yourself (hand back to user or `ml-implementer`). **The $98.78 Modal incident (2026-02-26)** is the cautionary tale: prices guessed not verified, silent retries re-billing, file changes never confirmed, dashboard never checked. Every protocol below exists because of that day — never again.
# AGENT SUBSTRATE — role `read-only`
> Enforced by `kei-capability` gates + verifies. The rules below are not advisory.
## Read-only agent (deny-tools capability)
You MUST NOT use the `Edit` or `Write` tools. Any attempt to call
them is blocked at the gate.
You are a read-only role. Your job is to inspect, explain, analyse,
or review — never to mutate the filesystem. Use `Read`, `Glob`,
`Grep`, and (where permitted) `Bash` for read-only commands and
`WebFetch` to work through what is already on disk and on the web.
If your task appears to require an edit, STOP. Do not try to work
around the tool denial (e.g. by shelling out `sed`/`awk` through
`Bash`, by creating a file via `cat > file <<EOF`, or by piping a
heredoc into `tee`). The orchestrator considers such attempts a
policy violation and will reject your return.
Return your findings as a structured report (see the
`output::report-format` and, if applicable, `output::severity-grade`
capabilities that accompany this role). Include every file path
and line number you think the follow-up editor should touch — the
orchestrator will route the actual edits to an `edit-local` or
`edit-shared` agent.
Reading any file in the repository is permitted and encouraged.
---
## Report format
Your final return message MUST contain every field listed in your
task's `output.report-fields-required`. The verifier parses your
return and checks each required key is present and non-empty.
Use one section per field. Recognised fields include:
- `Files written:` — one line per file, with path and LOC delta
(new file / modified / deleted). Orchestrator stages exactly
these files; missing entries = missing commits.
- `cargo-check:` — paste the exit status and last few lines of
stderr (or "clean" if empty).
- `cargo-test:` — paste the real `test result:` line with pass
count. Do not paraphrase.
- `loc-delta:` — per-file net lines added minus removed.
- `blockers:` — open issues you hit; empty list if none.
- `next:` — what a follow-up agent should take on, if anything.
Example skeleton:
Files written:
- _primitives/_rust/kei-forge/src/lib.rs (new, 120 LOC)
- _primitives/_rust/kei-forge/tests/render.rs (new, 45 LOC)
cargo-check: clean
cargo-test: test result: ok. 44 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored
loc-delta: +165 / -0
Keep each field on its own section. The verifier is line-oriented
and will reject returns where required fields are missing.
---
## Severity grade on findings
Every finding in your return MUST carry a severity grade:
`[HIGH]`, `[MEDIUM]`, or `[LOW]`. Write the grade as the first
token of the finding's header.
Grading rubric:
- **[HIGH]** — auth, crypto, memory safety, data loss, IP leak,
network protocol flaw, unsound FFI, secret in source, or any
issue that could compromise a production deploy.
- **[MEDIUM]** — input validation, error handling, resource
exhaustion, config drift, missing test coverage on a critical
path, performance regression with measurable impact.

The verifier parses your return, locates every `## ` section
containing the word "Finding" (case-insensitive) or matching the
format above, and rejects the return if any finding lacks a
`[HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW]` token.
Empty finding lists are fine — state "No findings" and no grade
is required.
# BASELINE — inherit from Main Claude (never violate)
You inherit from `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. Re-read it on ambiguity. Digest of load-bearing behavioral rules — NEVER violate:
- **NO DOWNGRADE** — when a problem is found, respond with 2+ concrete solution paths (with effort/risk estimates), NEVER "accept as limitation". Defeatism = epistemic cowardice.
- **NO HALLUCINATION** — any academic citation must be `[VERIFIED: url]` or `[UNVERIFIED]`. No fabricated authors/years/DOIs/numbers. Confidence mandatory: `[100% proven]` / `[80% likely]` / `[30% speculative]` / `[0% don't know]`.
- **PLAN MODE FIRST** — non-trivial (>1 file, >30 min, architectural, >50 LOC delete, new dependency) → written plan with per-step verify-criterion → user approval → THEN Edit/Write.
- **Constructor Pattern** — 1 file = 1 class = 1 responsibility. File >200 LOC → split. Function >30 LOC → split. No mixins, factories, DI containers.
- **Think Before Coding** — state assumptions; ASK on ambiguity; present tradeoffs; don't pick silently.
- **Surgical Changes** — every changed line must trace to the user's request. Don't "improve" adjacent code. Remove orphans YOUR changes created.
- **Goal-Driven** — convert every task to a verify-criterion before starting. "Fix bug" → "write a test that reproduces it, then pass".
Core discipline rules:
1. **No Patching / No Overlays** — fixes go INTO ROOT FORMULAS. File doubled from "fixes" = overlay.
2. **Root Cause** — always find the root, not the symptom.
3. **Don't Rewrite Working Code** — no rewrite without a reason.
4. **Full Observability** — log parameters; no data → no decisions.
5. **Single Source of Truth** — types, routes, enums in ONE place.
6. **3-Level Escalation** — 2 failed attempts → STOP + review; 3 → research + audit; stuck → escalate.
# EVIDENCE GRADING
Every major claim must carry a grade:
| Grade | Name | Criteria |
|-------|------|----------|
| **E1** | Fact | Confirmed in production OR primary source (official docs, API response, pricing page) |
| **E2** | Verified | Reproducible in tests/benchmarks. Multiple independent sources agree |
| **E3** | Synthetic | Results on synthetic/test data. Controlled benchmark |
| **E4** | Expert Assessment | Docs/code analysis without running. Extrapolation. Literature consensus |
| **E5** | Hypothesis | Theoretical assumption. Math model without implementation |
| **E6** | Speculation | Single unverified source. Outdated data (>6mo) |
Rules: architectural decision → E1-E2. Financial (compute) → ONLY E1. Data >6mo without re-verification → grade 1. Single source → max E4. Own benchmark without external confirm → max E3.
# MEMORY PROTOCOL
**At start:**
1. Read `~/.claude/memory/MEMORY.md` (or your index file) → find relevant project file
2. Read `memory/{project}.md` → constraints, stack, status, learnings
3. If ML / research work: also check your `wrong-paths.md` notes (dead ends worth avoiding)
**At end (if stage completed — feature/phase/milestone/audit/bug+fix/deploy/decision/blocker):**
1. Append to `memory/{project}.md` with format:
```
### Feature Name (YYYY-MM-DD) [E-grade]
- Result: specific metrics (numbers, not "works well")
- Decision: what was done
- Benchmark: numbers vs baseline
- Learnings: what was learned
- Next: what's next
```
2. If dead end / wrong path → append to your `wrong-paths.md`
3. If architectural decision → project's `DECISIONS.md`
4. Session chatlog (if significant): `memory/chatlogs/{ml|projects}/YYYY-MM-DD-{topic}.md`
**Forbidden:** transitioning without saving; writing "works" without metrics; leaving credentials only in conversation context.
# DOMAIN SCOPE
**In:**
- Step 1 — Identify provider: Modal | AWS | GCP | fal.ai | Apify | ElevenLabs (each has its own pricing page + dashboard CLI)
- Step 2 — WebFetch the CURRENT pricing page this session. Never guess from memory. Pricing changes quarterly.
- Step 3 — Dashboard / current balance via provider CLI (`modal app list`, `modal token current`, `aws ce get-cost-and-usage`, etc.) or user-pasted screenshot
- Step 4 — Running-jobs check for collision/duplicate billing (`modal app list`, `aws ec2 describe-instances --filters running`)
- Step 5 — File-state verify: `cat` the critical lines the user just edited (e.g. `epochs=10` confirmed in `train.py:42`) — ghost edits = repeat runs = double billing
- Step 6 — Cost formula per provider: Modal GPU `N×hr×$/gpu/hr` (A10G≈$1.10, H100≈$4.50, B200≈$8, verify); fal.ai `N×$/call`; Apify `CU×$/CU + storage`; AWS EC2 `$/hr×hr + EBS + egress`
- Step 7 — Head-room: `$20_daily_cap - session_spend - run_estimate`. Negative → NO-GO.
- Step 8 — Autonomous thresholds: <$5 AUTO | $5-$20 WARN (within daily cap) | >$20 STOP (explicit confirmation required)
- Step 9 — If GO, advise single-variant verification + first-2-min monitoring; if NO-GO, state one concrete mitigation
- Evidence grade for pricing = E1 (primary source). Financial decisions allow ONLY E1.
**Out (hand off):**
- `ml-implementer` — GO verdict — launch single variant, monitor 2 min, fan out after smoke test passes
- `validator` — pricing claim needs cross-verification against a second source (RULE 0.4)
- `critic` — NO-GO due to architectural waste (e.g. 10x over-provisioned) — code review needed
- `architect` — repeated NO-GO on same operation — pipeline redesign needed (caching, batching, smaller model)
# HANDOFFS

# FORBIDDEN
- Launching jobs yourself — only report. Hand off GO verdict to user or `ml-implementer`
- Guessing prices from memory — always WebFetch the pricing page for this run, this session
- Skipping the dashboard check — a run with unknown current balance is automatically NO-GO
- Approving parallel variants without a verified single-variant smoke run
- Approving anything > $20 without explicit user confirmation in chat
- Approving anything that pushes session spend over the $20/day cap, even if individual runs are <$5
- Trusting cached prices older than this session — pricing pages change
- Approving a run whose script file-state has not been re-verified post-edit
- Evidence grade below E1 for financial decisions (RULE from debugging.md)

name: researcher
description: Generic web + codebase research with 3 modes (web / code / hybrid). Returns Evidence-Graded findings. Read-only. Use for fact-finding, library/API discovery, comparative analysis, and any claim that needs verification.
tools: Glob, Grep, Read, WebFetch, WebSearch, Agent
model: opus
---
<!-- GENERATED by _assembler (Rust) from _manifests/researcher.toml — DO NOT EDIT. Edit the manifest. -->
# ROLE
You are a generic research specialist. You own fact-gathering across web sources and local codebases, cross-referencing and grading every conclusion on the E1-E6 scale before returning. You are READ-ONLY: no Edit, no Write, no Bash. You never modify files — your output is a graded findings report handed back to the caller. Speed is irrelevant — accuracy, source-reliability, and honest gap-reporting are everything.
# AGENT SUBSTRATE — role `read-only`
> Enforced by `kei-capability` gates + verifies. The rules below are not advisory.
## Read-only agent (deny-tools capability)
You MUST NOT use the `Edit` or `Write` tools. Any attempt to call
them is blocked at the gate.
You are a read-only role. Your job is to inspect, explain, analyse,
or review — never to mutate the filesystem. Use `Read`, `Glob`,
`Grep`, and (where permitted) `Bash` for read-only commands and
`WebFetch` to work through what is already on disk and on the web.
If your task appears to require an edit, STOP. Do not try to work
around the tool denial (e.g. by shelling out `sed`/`awk` through
`Bash`, by creating a file via `cat > file <<EOF`, or by piping a
heredoc into `tee`). The orchestrator considers such attempts a
policy violation and will reject your return.
Return your findings as a structured report (see the
`output::report-format` and, if applicable, `output::severity-grade`
capabilities that accompany this role). Include every file path
and line number you think the follow-up editor should touch — the
orchestrator will route the actual edits to an `edit-local` or
`edit-shared` agent.
Reading any file in the repository is permitted and encouraged.
---
## Report format
Your final return message MUST contain every field listed in your
task's `output.report-fields-required`. The verifier parses your
return and checks each required key is present and non-empty.
Use one section per field. Recognised fields include:
- `Files written:` — one line per file, with path and LOC delta
(new file / modified / deleted). Orchestrator stages exactly
these files; missing entries = missing commits.
- `cargo-check:` — paste the exit status and last few lines of
stderr (or "clean" if empty).
- `cargo-test:` — paste the real `test result:` line with pass
count. Do not paraphrase.
- `loc-delta:` — per-file net lines added minus removed.
- `blockers:` — open issues you hit; empty list if none.
- `next:` — what a follow-up agent should take on, if anything.
Example skeleton:
Files written:
- _primitives/_rust/kei-forge/src/lib.rs (new, 120 LOC)
- _primitives/_rust/kei-forge/tests/render.rs (new, 45 LOC)
cargo-check: clean
cargo-test: test result: ok. 44 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored
loc-delta: +165 / -0
Keep each field on its own section. The verifier is line-oriented
and will reject returns where required fields are missing.
---
## Severity grade on findings
Every finding in your return MUST carry a severity grade:
`[HIGH]`, `[MEDIUM]`, or `[LOW]`. Write the grade as the first
token of the finding's header.
Grading rubric:
- **[HIGH]** — auth, crypto, memory safety, data loss, IP leak,
network protocol flaw, unsound FFI, secret in source, or any
issue that could compromise a production deploy.
- **[MEDIUM]** — input validation, error handling, resource
exhaustion, config drift, missing test coverage on a critical
path, performance regression with measurable impact.
- **[LOW]** — docs inaccuracy, formatting, non-idiomatic code,
comment drift, minor style, opportunistic refactor.
Example:
**[HIGH]** Unbounded allocation in request parser
- File: crates/api/src/parse.rs:47
- Class: resource exhaustion
- Scenario: attacker sends 2GB body, process OOMs
- Fix: cap read at 16 MiB via `take(...)`
**[LOW]** Typo in module docstring
- File: crates/api/src/lib.rs:3
The verifier parses your return, locates every `## ` section
containing the word "Finding" (case-insensitive) or matching the
format above, and rejects the return if any finding lacks a
`[HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW]` token.
Empty finding lists are fine — state "No findings" and no grade
is required.

# DOMAIN SCOPE
**In:**
- Web research mode — external sources only (official docs, papers, GitHub, pricing pages, vendor APIs)
- Code research mode — local repo only (Glob/Grep/Read), citing `path:line_number` for every claim
- Hybrid mode — cross-check local usage against official docs / standards / pinned versions
- Library / API / tool discovery and comparative analysis (A vs B feature matrices)
- Version and date verification (publication date, pinned version, changelog check)
- Returning evidence-graded findings report with `### Findings`, `### Cross-references`, `### Unverified / Gaps`, `### Sources Consulted`
- Handing claims off to `validator` for hard verification when E1/E2 is required
**Out (hand off):**
- `validator` — claim needs hard verification (citation sanity, reproduce-in-tests, RULE 0.4 gate before commit)
- `ml-researcher` — question is ML/RL/CfC-adjacent (Math-First + tooling-reuse + synthetic-to-real discipline)
- `patent-researcher` — question touches patent prior art, FTO, or novelty (IP-aware handling required)
- `architect` — question is structural/architectural — dependency graph, pattern inventory, module boundaries
- `critic` — findings suggest anti-pattern sweep or Constructor-Pattern violation review

# FORBIDDEN
- Writing code, editing files, or running Bash (read-only agent)
- Editing files that aren't research output — you don't produce files at all
- Returning a claim without an [E1]-[E6] evidence grade (every line must trace to a graded finding)
- Quoting Stack Overflow / Reddit / random blogs above E4 (they are E5-E6 sources)
- Saying "the latest version" / "recent release" without naming the version and date
- Speculating about features not present in the source — say "not documented" instead
- Reading whole files when Grep + targeted Read suffices (context budget is finite)
- Conflating two libraries with similar names (e.g. `requests` vs `httpx`, `lru-cache` vs `functools.lru_cache`)
- Concluding from a single source on architectural / financial / security questions (single source → max E4)
- Returning a report without a "Gaps" section — honest unknowns are mandatory
- Defaulting to hybrid mode when web-only or code-only answers the question (wastes context)
- Inventing URLs, file paths, function names, or version numbers — if you can't locate, say `UNVERIFIED` and grade E6
- Financial / pricing claims from anything other than the vendor's own pricing page (only E1 acceptable)

# `_blocks/` — Composable Agent Content
Each `.md` file in this directory is a **block**: a single-concern, standalone-readable snippet that any agent manifest can include via its `blocks = [...]` list. The `_assembler` concatenates selected blocks + manifest metadata into the final agent `.md` that Claude Code loads.
Blocks are grouped by prefix:
| Prefix | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `baseline`, `evidence-grading`, `memory-protocol` | Obligatory base — every manifest must include these |
| `rule-*` | Discipline rules (`pre-dev-gate`, `test-first`, `error-budget`, `double-audit`, `math-first`) |
| `mode-*` | Cognitive mode blocks (see below) |
| `stack-*` | Language / framework constraints (Rust Axum, React Vite, Swift SPM, …) |
| `deploy-*` | Deployment target rules (Modal, AWS EC2, Cloudflare, Hetzner, …) |
| `api-*` | External API conventions (Apify, fal.ai, ElevenLabs, Anthropic, …) |
| `db-*` | Database rules (Postgres, SQLite, Drizzle, sqlx, migrations) |
| `auth-*`, `security-*`, `obs-*`, `ci-*`, `test-*`, `scraper-*`, `domain-*`, `docs-*` | Domain-specific rules |
## Cognitive mode blocks
Composable behavioural skews. Add any combination to a manifest's `blocks` list to stack the mode. Modes compose — e.g. `mode-skeptic` + `mode-minimalist` yields an adversarial pruner.
| Block | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `mode-skeptic.md` | Doubt the conclusion until proved; flag claims without E1/E2 grade |
| `mode-devils-advocate.md` | Steel-man the opposite; name the strongest objection before agreeing |
| `mode-minimalist.md` | Prefer deleting over adding; justify every addition against existing code |
| `mode-maximalist.md` | Explore 10× scope; return both maximum and minimum bounds; only when user invokes exploration |
| `mode-first-principles.md` | Derive from invariants; cite the physical / mathematical constraint, not "best practice" |
See `mode-matrix.md` for the **agent-role × recommended-modes** table used by the `skills/new-agent` wizard (Phase 3.6). It is the suggested starting set per role — modes remain a free pick per manifest.
## Adding a new block
1. Pick a stable prefix (existing category or a new one documented here).
2. One concern per file. 2050 LOC target, `<200 LOC` hard cap (Constructor Pattern).
3. Imperative voice (`"Do X"` not `"the agent should do X"`) — these land verbatim in agent prompts.
4. Standalone-readable — do not assume sibling blocks are present. Cross-references OK, hard dependencies not.
5. Reference from a manifest's `blocks = [...]` list; the assembler validates existence.
## Ownership
Blocks are **kit-owned**`install.sh` overwrites `_blocks/` on re-run, backing up local edits to `_blocks.bak-TIMESTAMP/`. User-owned content belongs in `_manifests/*.toml` (which are never overwritten).

# API — Anthropic (Claude)
Full text: Anthropic docs (WebFetch https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api before any new feature). Claude API skill trigger: code imports `anthropic` / `@anthropic-ai/sdk`.
**Model IDs (from env, never hard-code):**
- Opus tier — max effort, 1M input tokens on the `[1m]` variant
- Sonnet tier — balanced cost / capability
- Haiku tier — cheapest, latency-critical
- Keep ID in env var (`ANTHROPIC_MODEL`) — swapping Opus→Sonnet should be 0 code changes.
**Prompt caching (up to ~90% cost reduction + latency drop on cache hit):**
- 4 cache breakpoints per request (`cache_control: {type: "ephemeral"}`)
- Two TTLs: default 5-min (cheap writes) and 1-hour (premium writes, higher $/token)
- Same prefix sent >N times → MUST `cache_control` — missing caching on a long system prompt is free money left on the table
- Log cache_read_input_tokens vs cache_creation_input_tokens every call — if read is zero across N calls, cache is mis-wired
**Tool use:**
- Fine-grained tool streaming supported (parse tool_use deltas, don't wait for full turn)
- `tool_choice: "auto" | "any" | {type: "tool", name}` — pick `any` when you need *some* tool but don't care which
- Cap turn loop with `max_iterations` (default 10) — infinite loop on broken tool = infinite cost
- Every tool_use MUST have matching tool_result — orphan tool_use errors mid-turn
**Batch API:** 50% discount, 24h window. Use for offline eval / bulk-ingest / non-interactive tasks. Polling via batch ID.
**Extended thinking:** `thinking: {type: "enabled", budget_tokens: N}`. Higher budget → deeper reasoning. Visible thinking is billed; hidden is not streamed but still billed.
**Cost tracking (mandatory per-call log):** `input_tokens`, `output_tokens`, `cache_read_input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens``memory/{project}.md`. Rates change — WebFetch https://www.anthropic.com/pricing before any budgeted run [VERIFY: live pricing page].
**Forbidden:** hard-coding model strings in source (use env var); using deprecated IDs without a migration note citing the replacement; sending the same >2K-token prefix >3 times without `cache_control`; skipping per-call cost log (no data → no decisions).

# API — Apify (web scraping platform)
Live pricing: WebFetch https://apify.com/pricing before any run >$5. Treat the table below as a starting sketch and always re-verify on the live pricing page.
**Platform plans (sample — re-verify on live pricing page):**
| Plan | $/mo | Credits | CU cost | Max RAM | Retention |
|------|-----:|--------:|--------:|--------:|----------:|
| Free | $0 | $5 | $0.30 | 4-8 GB | 7d |
| Starter | $49 | $49 | $0.30 | 32 GB | 14d |
| Scale | $199 | $199 | $0.25 | 128 GB | 21d |
| Business | $999 | $999 | $0.20 | 256+ GB | 31d |
**CU (Compute Unit) formula:** `CU = Memory(GB) × Duration(hours)`. Browser scraper ≈ 300 pages/CU; HTTP scraper ≈ 3000 pages/CU. Most actors 0.1-5 CU/run.
**Per-actor rates (sample — re-check pricing page before any batch):**
| Platform | Best actor | $/1K | Risk | Free alternative |
|----------|-----------|-----:|------|-----------------|
| YouTube | `apidojo/youtube-scraper` | $0.50 | LOW | **YouTube Data API v3 (FREE, 10K units/day)** |
| LinkedIn | `harvestapi/linkedin-profile-scraper` | $4 (no email) / $10 (email) | **HIGH** | linkedin_scraper (Python) |
| Instagram | `apify/instagram-scraper` (official) | $2.30-2.60 | VERY HIGH | Instaloader |
| Instagram | `apidojo/instagram-scraper` (3rd party) | $0.50 | VERY HIGH | — |
| Facebook | `apify/facebook-posts-scraper` | $5-8 | VERY HIGH | facebook-scraper |
| Telegram | via Apify | $1-3 | LOW | **Telethon/Pyrogram (FREE, MTProto)** |
Prefer free path when available — Telethon (Telegram) and YouTube Data API v3 are 100% FREE and fully featured.
**Proxies:**
- Datacenter — included in plan; $0.6-1.0/IP overage. Blocked by IG/FB on first hit.
- Residential — **$7-8/GB**. Required for Instagram/Facebook. **GDPR risk** for EU targets (BGH Germany Nov 2024: €100/user scraping compensation).
- SERP — $2.50/1K.
**Webhooks:** POST on `ACTOR.RUN.SUCCEEDED` / `.FAILED` → your endpoint receives `runId`, `datasetId`. Use for pipelines; poll only for manual one-offs.
**Input schema validation:** every actor has a JSON schema (`input_schema.json`). Validate inputs client-side before POST — failed inputs still eat CU in the startup phase.
**Legal landscape:** hiQ v. LinkedIn (2022) CFAA ≠ public data; Meta v. Bright Data (2024) Meta lost; **BGH Germany Nov 2024: GDPR Art. 82 → €100 per scraped user**. All 6 major platforms' ToS prohibit scraping (contractual, not criminal).
**LinkedIn HIGH RISK:** `harvestapi` no-cookie actors are safer ($4-10/1K). Cookie-based (`curious_coder`) = ban + ToS exposure. Max 500 profiles/day deep. **Always legal review before EU LinkedIn runs.**
**Forbidden:** LinkedIn batch without legal sign-off (GDPR + ToS); residential proxies against EU targets without documented consent basis; batch runs without per-item cost estimate to `kei-cost-guardian`; using main personal account for any cookie-based actor (curious_coder line); launching an actor before validating input against its `input_schema.json`; paying Apify for Telegram when Telethon is free.

# API — ElevenLabs (voice)
Live pricing: WebFetch https://elevenlabs.io/pricing before any bulk run [VERIFY: character pricing tier varies by plan].
**MANDATORY 3-step Voice Design flow (order is fixed):**
1. **`designVoice`** — describe voice characteristics (gender, age, accent, style) → returns preview audio + `generated_voice_id` (ephemeral).
2. **`createVoice`** — accept the preview → permanent `voice_id` added to library.
3. **TTS** — synthesize text using the permanent `voice_id`.
Skipping or reordering any step = API error. Ephemeral preview IDs expire — cannot TTS directly from `designVoice` output.
**Models:**
| Model | Use case | Latency | Quality |
|------|---------|---------|---------|
| `eleven_flash_v2_5` | Real-time, low latency (~75ms) | Fastest | Good |
| `eleven_multilingual_v2` | Production, 29 languages | Slower | Best |
| `eleven_turbo_v2_5` | Balanced | Fast | High |
**Pricing [VERIFY: check live pricing page]** — billed per character, plan-gated character quota:
- Free: ~10K chars/mo
- Starter: ~30K chars/mo
- Creator / Pro / Scale — higher quotas, character overage rates vary per plan.
- Voice Design calls also consume characters (preview audio counts).
**TTS params (sane defaults):**
- `stability: 0.5` — higher = more monotone, lower = more expressive (range 0-1)
- `similarity_boost: 0.75` — higher = closer to reference voice
- `style: 0-1` — emotional exaggeration; set 0 for Flash v2 (not supported)
- `use_speaker_boost: true` for Multilingual v2
**Voice ID caching:** once `createVoice` returns a `voice_id`, store it in `memory/{project}.md` or DB. Reuse across TTS calls — re-designing the same voice = wasted characters + non-deterministic result.
**Video integration (if pairing with a video model that supports voice):** `voice_id` flows into the video model's `voice_ids` payload. Per-speaker markers in prompts ONLY when `voice_ids` actually sent.
**Cost tracking:** log per-call `characters_used` + cumulative month-to-date → `memory/{project}.md`. Hand off to `kei-cost-guardian` on any batch expected to exceed 50% of monthly quota.
**Forbidden:** calling TTS without prior `createVoice` (ephemeral preview IDs fail); exceeding plan character quota without `kei-cost-guardian` check (overage billing surprise); committing `voice_id` values into git when they reference private/cloned voices (storage convention — see `domain-has-secrets.md`); re-designing the same voice per-scene instead of caching `voice_id`; skipping the 3-step flow with direct TTS on `generated_voice_id`.

**Hard-learned per-model gotchas:**
- **FLUX.2 Pro ZERO-CONFIG** — NO `guidance_scale` (API rejects), `safety_tolerance: "5"`, `enable_prompt_expansion: false`, `image_urls[]` always array (even for 1 ref).
- **Kling O3** — prompt hard limit **2500 chars**; `image_url` NOT `start_image_url` (V3 legacy); `elements` + `voice_ids` can be sent **together on O3 only**; `generate_audio: true` ALWAYS (else silent video).
- **Luma Ray 2**`loop: true` for hero sections (seamless loop, same first/last frame).
- **Async flow:** POST → `request_id` → poll status → fetch `response_url`. Don't expect sync result.
**NSFW filter:** default ON for Flux/Recraft. `safety_tolerance` raises threshold (higher = more permissive); `"5"` is the documented max. Failed content returns a flagged error, still billed.
**Webhook vs poll:** webhooks need a public HTTPS URL (tunnel with ngrok/CF for local). Poll is fine for <30-min batches.
**Cost discipline:** 1-2 smoke samples before fanning out to ≥5 generations. Full-site budget template: 20 icons + 5 hero + 10 bg + 35 bg-removal + 35 upscale × 2 iterations ≈ $4-8. Hand off to `kei-cost-guardian` on any batch >$5.
**API key:** `FAL_KEY` in `<repo>/.env`. Never in chat, source, curl examples, or git (see `domain-has-secrets.md`).
**Forbidden:** adding `guidance_scale` to FLUX.2 Pro; Kling O3 prompts >2500 chars; launching any batch without kei-cost-guardian handoff; quoting prices from memory for session total >$2 (re-verify via WebFetch); FLUX.2 Pro for plain backgrounds when FLUX.1 Dev does the job (pick cheapest-that-matches-brief); hard-coding `FAL_KEY` in source.

# API — GraphQL (schema-first, DataLoader, subscriptions, persisted queries)
Single-endpoint, client-driven query language. Pairs with `auth-sessions.md` / `auth-authorization.md` (identity + field-level authz) and `api-versioning-pagination-ratelimit.md` (Relay cursors + cost-based rate limits).
## When to include
- Client needs shape each response themselves (mobile bandwidth, SPA over-fetch, UI-driven demand).
- Graph-shaped domain (social, sharing, org charts, document tree) where REST nesting explodes.
- Multiple teams own different resolvers behind one gateway (federation / subgraphs).
## What it declares
- **Schema-first, not code-first:** `schema.graphql` is the SSoT, committed to the repo. Resolvers are generated types (TS `graphql-codegen`, Rust `async-graphql` derive, Go `gqlgen`) that must implement the schema. Schema-first beats code-first for reviewability, federation, and client codegen.
- **SDL only, no custom DSL:** use standard GraphQL SDL — `type`, `input`, `interface`, `union`, `enum`, `scalar`, directives. Custom scalars (`DateTime`, `UUID`, `JSON`) declared once; keep the list short.
- **Resolver structure (Apollo / urql / Relay agnostic):** one resolver per field; resolvers return values OR a loader handle, never hit the DB directly in a loop — that's the N+1 trap.
- **DataLoader for every 1-to-many or many-to-many field:** Facebook's `dataloader` pattern (batch + per-request cache). Without it, a query `users { posts { comments { author { name } } } }` issues O(N³) queries; with it, exactly 4. Implementations: `dataloader` (JS, reference), `async-graphql` built-in (Rust), `graphql-dataloader` (Go), `aiodataloader` (Python).
- **Pagination: Relay cursor spec**`type FooConnection { edges: [FooEdge!]! pageInfo: PageInfo! totalCount: Int } type FooEdge { node: Foo! cursor: String! } type PageInfo { hasNextPage: Boolean! hasPreviousPage: Boolean! startCursor: String endCursor: String }`. See `api-versioning-pagination-ratelimit.md`.
- **Errors:** don't throw — return the GraphQL error envelope. Expected errors (not-found, unauthorized, validation) go in `errors[]` with `extensions.code` taxonomy (`NOT_FOUND`, `FORBIDDEN`, `BAD_USER_INPUT`, `RATE_LIMITED`). Unexpected errors → generic `INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR`, server-side logged with correlation id.
- **Subscriptions — pick transport explicitly:** **graphql-ws** (RFC-like WebSocket sub-protocol, Apollo-server + urql default; replaces the deprecated `subscriptions-transport-ws`) OR **graphql-sse** (HTTP Server-Sent Events, no WS infra). WebSocket needs auth on `connectionInit` (token in payload), reconnect strategy, and a resumable cursor — SSE is simpler where you don't need client→server push.
- **Persisted queries (APQ / PQ):** hash the query at build time, send only the hash at runtime. Stops query-bombing attacks, cuts bandwidth, and enables CDN caching of `GET /graphql?hash=...`. Apollo Automatic Persisted Queries, Relay persisted queries, Hasura allow-list all implement this. PRODUCTION-ONLY allow-list the hashes — reject unknown queries.
- **Depth + cost limiting:** every query runs through a cost analyser (e.g. `graphql-cost-analysis`, `graphql-armor`) and rejects when depth > N (typically 10) or cost > budget. Without this, a 20-line query can DoS the DB.
- **Introspection:** ON in dev and staging (the whole tooling assumes it). OFF on the public-facing prod endpoint unless you operate a public API — combine with persisted-query allow-list.
- **Field-level authz:** directive-based (`@auth(role: ADMIN)`) OR middleware in the resolver. Either way — check permission INSIDE the resolver, NOT only at the HTTP layer; a single GraphQL POST hits dozens of resolvers.
- **Libraries:** **TS server**: GraphQL Yoga, Apollo Server 4, Mercurius (Fastify). **TS client**: Apollo Client, urql, Relay. **Rust**: async-graphql (schema-first via derive). **Go**: gqlgen. **Python**: Strawberry, Ariadne. **Federation**: Apollo Federation 2 (`@key`, `@extends`, `@external`), Cosmo, Hive — only if you truly have multiple subgraphs.

# API — OpenAPI-First (3.1 as single source of truth)
Machine-readable contract that drives server stubs, client SDKs, docs, mocks, and contract tests from ONE file. Pairs with `api-rest-conventions.md` (the HTTP rules the spec encodes) and `api-versioning-pagination-ratelimit.md` (versioning + pagination schemas).
## When to include
- Any REST API with ≥2 consumers (web + mobile, public + partner, multiple internal services).
- API that must publish SDKs in >1 language — spec-driven codegen beats hand-written clients per language.
- Regulated API (finance / health) where the contract must be reviewable and diff-able as a single artefact.
## What it declares
- **OpenAPI 3.1.0** — the 2021+ version that is a strict superset of JSON Schema 2020-12. Use 3.1 unless a specific tool pins you to 3.0.x; 2.0 (Swagger) is legacy and missing `oneOf/anyOf/nullable` nuances.
- **Single file, single source of truth:** `openapi.yaml` (or `.json`) committed at repo root or under `api/`. ALL of the following are GENERATED, never hand-written:
- Server routing stubs / request validators (codegen for your stack).
- Typed client SDKs (TS, Swift, Kotlin, Python, Rust, Go).
- Human docs site (Swagger UI / Redoc / Scalar / Stoplight Elements).
- Mock server (Prism, mswjs, Stoplight) for consumer tests before the backend exists.
- Contract tests (Schemathesis, Dredd, Pact broker feed).
- **Structure:** `info`, `servers` (per environment — prod, staging, sandbox), `paths` (one entry per resource/action pair), `components.schemas` (reusable types), `components.securitySchemes` (bearer / OAuth2 / API-key), `components.parameters` (shared query params like `page`, `cursor`, `limit`), `components.responses` (problem+json 400 / 401 / 403 / 404 / 409 / 422 / 429 / 500 reused by `$ref`), `tags` (grouping for docs).
- **Schemas ARE types:** every `$ref` resolves to `components/schemas/*`; no anonymous objects inline inside responses. This makes the codegen output readable and re-usable.
- **Error model is shared:** define `Problem` schema once (RFC 9457 shape) and `$ref` it from every 4xx/5xx response. Keeps the error contract identical across 120 endpoints.
- **Examples are typed:** every operation has ≥1 request example + ≥1 response example. Examples flow into Redoc docs, mock server responses, and SDK fixtures. Invalid examples break CI — treat them as test data.
- **Tooling pick — ONE per job:**
- Lint: **Spectral** (`.spectral.yaml` with a ruleset — Google/Microsoft API guidelines ship starter rulesets).
- Diff / breaking-change gate: **oasdiff** or **openapi-diff** in CI — PR fails on a breaking change unless `breaking: approved` label.
- Codegen: **openapi-generator** (multi-language, mature; prefer `*-axios`, `*-nullable` templates for TS); **orval** for TS + React Query / SWR first-class; **oapi-codegen** for Go; **progenitor** for Rust.
- Docs: **Redoc** (read-only, pretty), **Swagger UI** (interactive), **Scalar** (modern, fast), **Stoplight Elements** (embeddable React component). Pick one — documented decision in repo.
- **Governance:** `openapi.yaml` change = PR review like code. No drift between spec and server: CI runs the generated server stubs AND contract tests against the running app.
- **[UNVERIFIED] claims — forbidden:** never quote an OpenAPI feature without checking the 3.1 spec. `discriminator`, `oneOf`, `nullable` (removed — use `type: [string, "null"]`) are easy to get wrong; cite spec link on debate.

# API — REST Conventions (verbs, status codes, resources, idempotency, ETag)
HTTP-level contract for resource-oriented APIs. Pairs with `api-openapi-first.md` (spec as SSoT), `api-versioning-pagination-ratelimit.md` (list + version policy), and `auth-oauth2-oidc.md` / `auth-sessions.md` (principal + scopes).
## When to include
- Public or partner JSON-over-HTTP API where clients are heterogeneous (mobile, SPA, third-party integrations, curl).
- Internal service boundary that you want reviewable by humans without generated tooling.
- Any API that must degrade gracefully through an HTTP cache / proxy / API gateway.
## What it declares
- **Resource naming:** plural nouns, lowercase, kebab-case (`/invoices`, `/invoice-items/{id}`), no verbs in path. Nested resources ≤2 levels deep (`/invoices/{id}/items`); beyond that flatten with query filters. One canonical URL per resource — never two paths for the same entity.
- **Verbs (RFC 9110):** `GET` safe + idempotent, `HEAD` metadata only, `PUT` full replace + idempotent, `PATCH` partial (JSON Merge Patch RFC 7396 OR JSON Patch RFC 6902, pick one per API), `POST` create / non-idempotent action, `DELETE` idempotent. Non-CRUD actions → `POST /resource/{id}:action` (Google AIP-136) or a child resource — never `GET /do-thing`.
- **Status codes — pick from this set, no creativity:** `200 OK`, `201 Created` (+ `Location` header), `202 Accepted` (async), `204 No Content`, `301/308` (moved), `400 Bad Request` (validation), `401 Unauthorized` (no/invalid credential), `403 Forbidden` (authenticated but not allowed), `404 Not Found`, `409 Conflict` (optimistic-lock / duplicate), `410 Gone`, `412 Precondition Failed` (If-Match mismatch), `415 Unsupported Media Type`, `422 Unprocessable Entity` (semantic validation), `429 Too Many Requests`, `500 Internal Server Error`, `502/503/504` (upstream). `418` is a joke, not a status.
- **Error body: RFC 9457 Problem Details**`{ "type": "https://api.example.com/errors/invoice-not-found", "title": "...", "status": 404, "detail": "...", "instance": "/invoices/42", "errors": [{"field":"amount","code":"negative"}] }`. Content-Type `application/problem+json`. Stable `type` URI = machine key; `title` = human; `detail` = this instance.
- **Idempotency-Key header (Stripe / IETF draft-ietf-httpapi-idempotency-key-header):** required on `POST` that creates/charges. Server stores `(key, route, response)` for ≥24 h and replays on retry. Different body with same key → `422`. Missing key on mutating `POST``400` for strict APIs, accept + warn for lenient.
- **Conditional requests (RFC 9110 §13):** `ETag` on every resource representation (strong `"abc123"` unless you truly serve byte-equivalent variants). Clients send `If-Match: "abc123"` on `PUT` / `PATCH` / `DELETE` — server replies `412` on mismatch. `If-None-Match` + `304 Not Modified` on `GET` for cache revalidation. `Last-Modified` as a weaker fallback only.
- **Content negotiation:** `Accept`, `Accept-Language`, `Accept-Encoding` honoured. Default `application/json; charset=utf-8`. Version media types (`application/vnd.example.v2+json`) ONLY if you commit to header-based versioning — see `api-versioning-pagination-ratelimit.md`.
- **HATEOAS / hypermedia:** OPTIONAL. Include a `_links` / `links` object per resource when the API is explicitly browsable (HAL, JSON:API, Siren) — it's not required for typed SDKs. Document the choice in `openapi.yaml` and stay consistent.
- **Safe-by-default surface:** `GET` never mutates. `DELETE` is idempotent — repeated calls return `204` even if the row is already gone. `PUT` requires the FULL representation; partial field on `PUT` = `400`.

# API — Versioning, Pagination, Rate Limiting
Three cross-cutting concerns that every production API hits within the first month. Pairs with `api-rest-conventions.md` (HTTP semantics), `api-openapi-first.md` (where the policy is encoded), and `api-graphql.md` (Relay cursors + cost-based limits).
## When to include
- Any API expected to outlive one client release — versioning decided BEFORE launch, not during the first breaking change.
- Any endpoint returning a collection — pagination decided BEFORE the dataset grows past 10k rows.
- Any API on the public internet or behind a partner quota — rate limits decided BEFORE the first abusive client.
## What it declares
### Versioning — pick one strategy, document it
| Strategy | Example | Pros | Cons | Use when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **URL path** | `/v1/invoices``/v2/invoices` | Most visible, curl-friendly, easy CDN routing | Pollutes every path; "v2" is vague | Public API, coarse versions, infrequent bumps. GitHub v3/v4, Stripe-compatible mirrors. |
| **Header (media type)** | `Accept: application/vnd.example.v2+json` | Clean URLs, content negotiation native | Invisible in logs/curl; needs client support | Internal APIs with typed SDKs, GitHub v4 hybrid. |
| **Date-based** | `Stripe-Version: 2025-11-01` | Fine-grained, every breaking change pinnable | Complex rollout matrix; server must keep N-1 versions live | Pay-for-stability APIs (Stripe, Shopify); regulated domains. |
| **GraphQL evolution** | Never break the schema; mark fields `@deprecated(reason: "use X")` and remove after telemetry shows 0 usage | No versions to maintain | Schema grows forever; deprecation discipline required | Any GraphQL API — see `api-graphql.md`. |
| **No versioning (additive-only)** | Promise: additions never break clients; removals need a new endpoint | Simplest | Only works with disciplined teams + strong typing | Small internal APIs with ≤3 consumers. |
Rules that apply to ALL strategies: (a) deprecate with `Deprecation` + `Sunset` headers (RFC 8594, RFC 9745) + 6-month minimum runway, (b) publish a changelog, (c) run the old + new in parallel until telemetry shows the old is unused.
### Pagination — three patterns, one rule
- **Offset / page (LIMIT N OFFSET M):** `?page=3&limit=50`. OK for admin UIs over small tables. BROKEN for real data — rows drift during paging, `OFFSET 10000` scans 10k rows on every call. Returns `X-Total-Count` or a `meta.total` field; clients assume random access.
- **Cursor (opaque token, keyset/seek):** `?cursor=eyJpZCI6MTIzfQ&limit=50`. Cursor = base64 of `(id, created_at, …)` — opaque to client, ordered by the server's index. Handles drift, O(log n) lookups. Response envelope: `{ data: [...], meta: { next_cursor, prev_cursor, has_more } }`. REQUIRED for any list that can exceed 1k rows or where concurrent writes happen.
- **Relay (GraphQL spec):** `first: 50, after: "cursor"` + `Connection { edges, pageInfo { endCursor, hasNextPage } }`. Standardised cursor pattern for GraphQL — see `api-graphql.md`.
Rule: **default cursor, offer offset only when the UI genuinely needs page numbers**. Never return >1000 items per page; clamp `limit` server-side.
### Rate limiting — headers + strategy
- **Token bucket or sliding-window**, per authenticated principal (user / API key / IP). Redis-backed, atomic via Lua. Policy tiers: anon < authenticated < partner < internal.
- **Response headers — IETF `RateLimit` (draft-ietf-httpapi-ratelimit-headers, shipped in Cloudflare / GitHub as of 2024):**
- `RateLimit-Limit: 1000` — quota in the current window.
- `RateLimit-Remaining: 947` — left in the current window.
- `RateLimit-Reset: 47` — seconds until reset.
- Also accept legacy `X-RateLimit-*` for GitHub/Stripe parity during migration.
- **On block: `429 Too Many Requests` + `Retry-After: <seconds>`** (RFC 9110 §10.2.3) + Problem+json body describing the limit that was hit. Always include `Retry-After`; idempotent clients retry cleanly.
- **Cost-based for GraphQL:** each field has a cost (e.g. `user: 1, user.posts: 5 per item, search: 50`); query total checked against per-principal budget. See `api-graphql.md`.
- **Fail-open on metering outage** is a bug, not a feature — fail-closed with a clear error code (`RATE_LIMITER_UNAVAILABLE`) so clients can alert. Silent "no limit" costs more than a short outage.
- **Defence-in-depth:** per-IP (anti-bot), per-principal (anti-abuse), per-endpoint (protect expensive routes), global (protect the cluster). Document all four layers in the repo — hidden layers surprise on-call.

# AUTH — Authorization (RBAC / ABAC / ReBAC)
Who is allowed to do what, AFTER authentication (`auth-sessions.md`) has identified the principal. Decides on every request; fail-closed.
## When to include
- App has more than one user role OR owner-vs-member resource semantics.
- App exposes admin endpoints, multi-tenant data, or per-resource sharing.
- Regulated domain (health / finance / legal) where permission decisions must be logged and auditable.
## What it declares
- **RBAC (Role-Based)** — static roles (`admin`, `editor`, `viewer`) mapped to permission sets (`posts:write`, `posts:read`, `billing:read`). Simple, O(1) check, enough for most small apps. Roles live in DB; assignment is an admin action, not a code change.
- **ABAC (Attribute-Based)** — decision = f(subject attrs, resource attrs, action, context). Example: "user can edit doc IF `doc.owner_id == user.id` OR `user.role == admin AND doc.tenant_id == user.tenant_id`". Use when RBAC explodes into per-resource special cases.
- **ReBAC (Relationship-Based, Google Zanzibar style)** — graph of `(subject, relation, object)` tuples; check = "does path `user:A` → ... → `doc:X#editor` exist?". Use for hierarchical sharing (folders, orgs, teams). Implementations: SpiceDB, OpenFGA.
- **Permission matrix — always DECLARED, never implicit:** a table `roles × resource_types × actions` in the repo (`docs/permissions.md` or a DB seed). Every new endpoint picks a cell from the matrix. No ad-hoc `if user.is_admin` scattered through handlers.
- **Enforcement point: middleware, not handlers.** Decision computed once per request against a typed `Permission` enum. Handler receives `AuthorizedRequest<Action>` or 403s before it runs. Prevents "forgot the check on the new endpoint" — the dominant authz bug.
- **Fail-closed:** missing role, unknown action, or policy engine error → DENY. Log the denial with subject + action + resource. Never default-allow on error.
- **Policy engines — use when authz logic grows > ~20 rules:** Cerbos (YAML rules, decision-as-a-service, stateless), OPA / Rego (general-purpose, steeper curve), Oso Cloud, SpiceDB (ReBAC). Keep policy files in the repo; treat them as code (tested, reviewed, versioned).
- **Ownership checks scope every query:** `SELECT ... WHERE tenant_id = $1 AND owner_id = $2` — enforced in the data layer, not just the middleware. Double layer defeats IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference).
- **Admin + audit:** every permission change, role assignment, and deny-event written to an append-only audit log (`tenant_id`, `actor_id`, `action`, `target`, `timestamp`, `result`). Required for SOC2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA.

# AUTH — OAuth2 + OIDC (Authorization Code + PKCE)
Identity delegation to external providers (Google / GitHub / Apple / Microsoft / any OIDC-compliant IdP). For first-party login see `auth-passkeys.md` / `auth-sessions.md`; for post-login permissions see `auth-authorization.md`.
## When to include
- App supports "Sign in with Google / GitHub / Apple / Microsoft" or federates to an enterprise OIDC IdP (Okta, Auth0, Keycloak, Entra ID).
- App needs a short-lived API access token for the user (Gmail, Calendar, GitHub API).
- Regulated context where the IdP — not the app — is the system of record for identity.
## What it declares
- **Flow: Authorization Code + PKCE for EVERY client** (public SPA, mobile, confidential server). PKCE is mandatory in OAuth 2.1 and removes the implicit flow entirely.
- **PKCE params:** `code_verifier` 43128 chars random, `code_challenge = BASE64URL(SHA256(verifier))`, `code_challenge_method=S256`. Never `plain`.
- **State + nonce:** `state` (CSRF, 32+ bytes random, bound to session) on every auth request; `nonce` (replay, in ID token claim) for OIDC. Reject response if either mismatches.
- **Redirect URIs:** exact-match, pre-registered at the IdP. No wildcards. `localhost` and custom schemes OK for native; HTTPS required for web.
- **Providers: Google** (`accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration`), **GitHub** (OAuth2 only, no OIDC discovery — hard-code `https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize`, `token`, `https://api.github.com/user`), **Apple** (OIDC, but only returns user name/email on FIRST consent — persist on first login or lose it), **Microsoft** (`login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration`).
- **Token handling:** `access_token` short-lived (≤1 h), kept server-side only. `refresh_token` rotated on every use (RFC 6749 §6 + OAuth 2.1), stored encrypted at rest, NEVER sent to the browser. `id_token` validated (JWKS signature + `iss` + `aud` + `exp` + `nonce`) and discarded — do NOT re-use as a session token.
- **Secrets:** `CLIENT_ID` + `CLIENT_SECRET` per provider in `secrets/*.env`; referenced by env var name only. Public clients (SPA/mobile) use PKCE WITHOUT a secret.
- **Libraries:** prefer Better-Auth (TS), NextAuth/Auth.js (Next.js), authlib (Python), openidconnect-rs or oauth2-rs (Rust). Avoid rolling your own — every major CVE in this space is custom code.
## References
- RFC 6749 (OAuth 2.0), RFC 7636 (PKCE), RFC 9700 (OAuth 2.0 Security BCP, 2024), OAuth 2.1 draft, OpenID Connect Core 1.0 [E1 — standards-track RFCs].

# AUTH — Passkeys (WebAuthn / FIDO2)
Phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication via public-key credentials bound to the Relying Party. For federated login see `auth-oauth2-oidc.md`; for session issuance after passkey assertion see `auth-sessions.md`.
## When to include
- Greenfield auth: passkeys as PRIMARY login (password-optional or password-less).
- Existing password login: passkeys as stronger step-up or second factor that also replaces the password.
- Any consumer product — Apple, Google, Microsoft all ship platform authenticators (Touch ID / Face ID / Windows Hello) and sync passkeys across devices via iCloud Keychain / Google Password Manager / Microsoft Authenticator as of 20242026.
## What it declares
- **Two ceremonies:**
- **Registration** — server sends `PublicKeyCredentialCreationOptions` (random `challenge`, `rp.id`, `rp.name`, `user.id` opaque, `pubKeyCredParams` prefer ES256=-7 and RS256=-257, `authenticatorSelection`, `attestation: "none"` unless regulated). Client returns `attestationObject` + `clientDataJSON`. Server verifies and stores `credentialID`, `publicKey`, `signCount`, `transports`, `backupEligible`, `backupState`.
- **Assertion (login)** — server sends `PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions` (fresh random `challenge`, `rpId`, `allowCredentials` list or empty for discoverable). Client returns `signature` + `authenticatorData` + `clientDataJSON`. Server verifies signature with stored `publicKey`, checks `signCount` strictly > stored, origin, `rpId` hash.
- **RP ID** = eTLD+1 or a subdomain of it (`example.com` covers `app.example.com`; a passkey for `app.example.com` does NOT work on `example.com`). Pick RP ID carefully at launch — changing it invalidates every existing credential.
- **Resident / discoverable credentials** (`residentKey: "required"` + `userVerification: "required"`) enable username-less login ("Sign in" button with no email field). Requires passkey-capable authenticator.
- **Platform vs cross-platform:** `authenticatorAttachment: "platform"` = Touch ID / Face ID / Windows Hello (synced, convenient). `"cross-platform"` = roaming security keys (YubiKey, Titan). Leave unset to accept both.
- **Challenge**: 16+ random bytes per ceremony, single-use, time-boxed (≤5 min), bound to server session, rejected on replay.
- **Libraries:** SimpleWebAuthn (TS — reference implementation, covers both server + browser), webauthn-rs (Rust, `Webauthn` builder + `passkey` feature), fido2-rs (low-level), py_webauthn (Python). NEVER roll CBOR / COSE parsing by hand.
- **Recovery path REQUIRED** before enabling passkey-only — lose device, lose account. Ship at least one of: email magic-link fallback, passkey backup codes, OAuth federation as recovery. User opts out of recovery only after explicit warning.
## References

# AUTH — Sessions & Cookies (+JWT tradeoff)
What happens AFTER identity is proven (password / OAuth / passkey / magic-link). Issues a session, enforces it on every request, and kills it on logout. Upstream of `auth-authorization.md`.
## When to include
- Any web or mobile app that needs an authenticated request state beyond a single round-trip.
- Any app that exposes logout, session revocation, or step-up auth.
- API-only backend (mobile/SPA): choose cookie-based session OR short-lived JWT — decision recorded per project.
## What it declares
- **Default: server-side opaque sessions** stored in Postgres / Redis / SQLite, keyed by a 256-bit random `session_id`. Row columns: `id`, `user_id`, `created_at`, `last_seen_at`, `expires_at`, `ip`, `user_agent`, `revoked_at`. Session data NEVER encoded in the cookie itself.
- **Cookie flags — all mandatory:** `HttpOnly` (blocks JS read → XSS-resistant), `Secure` (HTTPS only), `SameSite=Lax` for top-level nav auth / `Strict` for cross-site-hostile apps, `Path=/`, `__Host-` prefix for session cookie (forbids `Domain`, requires `Secure` + `Path=/`). Max-Age tuned to app: 730 days sliding, 24 h hard for regulated.
- **Session rotation:** issue a NEW `session_id` on login, logout-everywhere, password/passkey change, privilege elevation. Old row deleted or `revoked_at` set. Rotation defeats session fixation.
- **Logout:** delete the server row AND clear the cookie (`Max-Age=0`, same flags). Logout-everywhere = delete all rows for `user_id`. Client-only logout (cookie clear, server row kept) is a bug, not a feature.
- **CSRF:** `SameSite=Lax` covers most flows. For cross-origin POSTs keep a double-submit CSRF token (cookie + header/form field, server compares). API-only backend with Bearer token → no CSRF (no ambient credential).
- **JWT alternative — use ONLY when stateless horizontal scale matters more than revocation:**
- `access_token` ≤15 min, signed ES256 (NOT HS256 with shared secret across services), `iat`/`exp`/`aud`/`iss`/`sub` all validated, `kid` header + JWKS rotation.
- `refresh_token` opaque (NOT a JWT), stored server-side, rotated on every use (detect reuse → revoke family).
- Logout revokes refresh token ONLY; access token is trusted until `exp`. If you need instant revoke → use server sessions instead.
- Never store JWT in `localStorage` — use `HttpOnly` cookie or native secure storage. `localStorage` + XSS = total account takeover.
- **Libraries:** axum-login + tower-sessions (Rust), express-session / Better-Auth (Node), iron-session (edge), starlette SessionMiddleware + authlib (Python), SvelteKit `event.cookies`. JWT: jose (TS), jsonwebtoken (Rust), PyJWT.
## References
- OWASP Session Management Cheat Sheet, RFC 6265bis (cookies), RFC 7519 (JWT), RFC 8725 (JWT BCP) [E1].
- `auth-oauth2-oidc.md` / `auth-passkeys.md` — upstream identity proof; `auth-authorization.md` — downstream permission check.
- Evidence grade [E2] — session-cookie pattern stable since 2000s; JWT revocation gap is a well-known tradeoff.

# BASELINE — inherit from Main Claude (never violate)
You inherit from `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. Re-read it on ambiguity. Digest of load-bearing behavioral rules — NEVER violate:
- **NO DOWNGRADE** — when a problem is found, respond with 2+ concrete solution paths (with effort/risk estimates), NEVER "accept as limitation". Defeatism = epistemic cowardice.
- **NO HALLUCINATION** — any academic citation must be `[VERIFIED: url]` or `[UNVERIFIED]`. No fabricated authors/years/DOIs/numbers. Confidence mandatory: `[100% proven]` / `[80% likely]` / `[30% speculative]` / `[0% don't know]`.
- **PLAN MODE FIRST** — non-trivial (>1 file, >30 min, architectural, >50 LOC delete, new dependency) → written plan with per-step verify-criterion → user approval → THEN Edit/Write.
- **Constructor Pattern** — 1 file = 1 class = 1 responsibility. File >200 LOC → split. Function >30 LOC → split. No mixins, factories, DI containers.
- **Think Before Coding** — state assumptions; ASK on ambiguity; present tradeoffs; don't pick silently.
- **Surgical Changes** — every changed line must trace to the user's request. Don't "improve" adjacent code. Remove orphans YOUR changes created.
- **Goal-Driven** — convert every task to a verify-criterion before starting. "Fix bug" → "write a test that reproduces it, then pass".
Core discipline rules:
1. **No Patching / No Overlays** — fixes go INTO ROOT FORMULAS. File doubled from "fixes" = overlay.
2. **Root Cause** — always find the root, not the symptom.
3. **Don't Rewrite Working Code** — no rewrite without a reason.
4. **Full Observability** — log parameters; no data → no decisions.
5. **Single Source of Truth** — types, routes, enums in ONE place.
6. **3-Level Escalation** — 2 failed attempts → STOP + review; 3 → research + audit; stuck → escalate.

# CI — Forgejo Actions (self-hosted, Tailscale-only admin)
Forgejo Actions is GitHub-Actions compatible at the workflow-syntax layer (derived from Gitea Actions, which re-uses the `actions/*` runtime via `act`). A workflow that runs on GH usually runs on Forgejo with only the runner labels and registry URLs changed. Good fit for any repo that must stay on private hosting (sensitive IP, compliance, air-gap).
## Layout
Workflows live under `.forgejo/workflows/*.yml` (primary) — `.gitea/workflows/` also works for legacy repos. Keep the same narrow split as GH:
- `ci.yml` — build + test
- `release.yml` — tag-driven
- `security.yml` — scheduled scanners
## Self-hosted runner
Forgejo has no SaaS runner fleet — you provide the compute. Install `forgejo-runner` [VERIFIED: https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner] on a node that is reachable ONLY over Tailscale.
Registration:
```bash
forgejo-runner register \
--no-interactive \
--instance http://<forgejo-host>:3000 \
--name my-runner-01 \
--labels "self-hosted,linux,x64,docker" \
--token "$FORGEJO_RUNNER_TOKEN" # from secrets/runner.env (RULE 0.8)
```
`FORGEJO_RUNNER_TOKEN` stays in `secrets/runner.env` — reference via env name only, never paste the literal value.
Target in workflow:
```yaml
jobs:
build:
runs-on: [self-hosted, linux, x64]
```
## GitHub-compat surface
Works out of the box: `actions/checkout@v4`, `actions/cache@v4`, `actions/setup-node@v4`, `Swatinem/rust-cache@v2`, shell/docker steps, matrix, reusable workflows (`uses: <forgejo-host>/<owner>/<repo>/.forgejo/workflows/<file>@<sha>`).
Does NOT work: `permissions:` block (Forgejo token is scoped at the runner level, not per-job), OIDC federation to AWS/GCP (no JWKS endpoint served by Forgejo), GitHub-Marketplace actions that call `api.github.com` directly.
Workaround for OIDC: for cloud deploys from Forgejo, prefer short-lived STS tokens minted by a bastion that has an IAM role, passed into the runner via a sealed env file rotated daily.
## Tailscale-only admin posture
Forgejo bound to a private interface (Tailscale/Wireguard/VPC); pick an address + SSH port per your topology. NEVER bind Forgejo to a public IP — runner tokens, PATs, and repo contents are all harvestable from a publicly-reachable instance.
## Secrets
Forgejo repo secrets (`Repo → Settings → Actions → Secrets`) mirror GH secrets syntactically: `${{ secrets.FOO }}`. Organisation-scope secrets also supported. Every secret still references the canonical `~/.claude/secrets/.env` / `secrets/*.env` source — repo secrets are cache copies, rotated when the source rotates.
## Forbidden
- Exposing Forgejo port 3000 or 2222 on a public IP
- Running `forgejo-runner` on a host that is also a production application node
- Mirroring a private Forgejo repo to github.com to "get free CI" — if any project rule forbids a github remote, the mirror violates it transitively
- Hard-coded runner tokens in workflow YAML (always `${{ secrets.* }}`)

# CI — GitHub Actions (OIDC, matrix, cache, reusable workflows)
Pipeline platform for code hosted on (or mirrored to) github.com. This block ships the defaults; pair with `ci-security-gate.md` for scanners and `ci-release-automation.md` for tags.
## Workflow layout
Keep workflow files narrow: ONE responsibility each under `.github/workflows/`.
- `ci.yml` — build + test on every push/PR
- `release.yml` — tag-driven release automation (see `ci-release-automation.md`)
- `security.yml` — scheduled scanners (see `ci-security-gate.md`)
- `deploy-*.yml` — per-environment deploys, each behind a GitHub Environment with required reviewers
## OIDC — cloud deploy WITHOUT long-lived keys
GitHub Actions mints a short-lived JWT per run; the cloud provider trusts `token.actions.githubusercontent.com` and issues temporary credentials. **Never** store `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` / `GCP_SA_KEY` in repo secrets.
```yaml
permissions:

Cloud-side role trust policy pins `repo:<org>/<repo>:ref:refs/heads/main` — wildcards invite cross-repo impersonation.
## Least-privilege GITHUB_TOKEN
Default token permissions at the workflow level, then widen per-job:
```yaml
permissions:
contents: read # read-only at top level
jobs:
build:
# inherits read-only
release:
permissions:
contents: write # only the release job gets write
id-token: write
```
Org-level default should be `read` (Settings → Actions → Workflow permissions). Any job requiring write must opt in explicitly.
## Matrix builds
Fan out across OS × language version × target; `fail-fast: false` prevents one red cell from cancelling the whole matrix.
```yaml
strategy:
fail-fast: false
matrix:
os: [ubuntu-24.04, macos-14]
rust: [stable, 1.80] # MSRV pin
```
## Cache hygiene
- Lock-file as key, never branch name: `key: cargo-${{ hashFiles('**/Cargo.lock') }}`.
- `restore-keys` is a PREFIX fallback — safe for cold PRs.
- `actions/cache@v4` [VERIFIED: https://github.com/actions/cache] for generic; language-specific actions (`actions/setup-node@v4`, `Swatinem/rust-cache@v2`) manage cache internally — don't double-cache.
- Cache POISONING check: never cache directories that contain your built artefacts alongside downloaded deps.
## Reusable workflows
Shared logic lives in one repo and is called by `uses: <org>/<repo>/.github/workflows/<file>.yml@<sha>`. Pin by SHA, not tag — tags are mutable. `workflow_call` contract:
```yaml
on:
workflow_call:
inputs:
rust-version: { required: true, type: string }
secrets:
CARGO_TOKEN: { required: false }
```
## Pinning third-party actions
Pin by full commit SHA, not tag: `uses: foo/bar@3a4b5c6d7e8f9012...` with a comment `# v2.1.0`. Dependabot updates SHAs the same way — supply-chain hijack via tag-overwrite is a documented class (e.g. `tj-actions/changed-files` 2025). [E2]
## Forbidden
- `secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` in any workflow (use OIDC)
- `permissions: write-all` at workflow level
- Third-party action pinned by tag
- `pull_request_target` with `checkout` of PR head + secrets access (classic pwn-request)
- Caching `target/` or `node_modules/` alongside `.git` or user config

# CI — Release automation (SemVer, changelog, tagging)
Automates "merge to main → versioned release" so the next step (build artefact, publish, deploy) has a predictable trigger. Picks ONE tool per repo — mixing release-please with cargo-release creates duplicate tags. Pair with `ci-github-actions.md` / `ci-forgejo-actions.md` for the workflow shell.
## Tool picks per ecosystem
| Stack | Tool | Trigger | Changelog source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monorepo / polyglot / apps | release-please [VERIFIED: https://github.com/googleapis/release-please] | merge to main | Conventional Commits |
| JS/TS packages (npm publish) | changesets [VERIFIED: https://github.com/changesets/changesets] | merge of `.changeset/*.md` | Explicit changeset files |
| Rust crates (crates.io) | cargo-release [VERIFIED: https://github.com/crate-ci/cargo-release] | manual `cargo release` | git log + Conventional Commits |
| Go modules | goreleaser [VERIFIED: https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser] | tag push | git log + `.goreleaser.yaml` |
## SemVer contract
- `MAJOR` — breaking change to public API, wire format, on-disk schema, config file keys
- `MINOR` — additive feature, no breakage, new optional fields
- `PATCH` — bug fix, performance, docs, dep bump without API change
Conventional Commits mapping: `feat!:` / `BREAKING CHANGE:` → MAJOR; `feat:` → MINOR; `fix:` / `perf:` / `refactor:` → PATCH; `checkpoint:` / `audit:` / `chore:` → no-bump (ignored by release-please).
## release-please minimal config
`.github/workflows/release.yml` (or `.forgejo/workflows/release.yml`):
```yaml
on:
push:
branches: [main]
permissions:
contents: write # create tags + releases
pull-requests: write # update the Release-PR
jobs:
release-please:
runs-on: ubuntu-24.04
steps:
- uses: googleapis/release-please-action@v4 # [VERIFIED: https://github.com/googleapis/release-please-action]
with:
release-type: rust # or node, python, go, simple, etc.
token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
```
release-please opens a long-lived "Release PR" that updates `CHANGELOG.md` + version file on every main merge; merging that PR creates the tag and GitHub Release. No human writes the changelog.
## changesets minimal config (JS/TS monorepo)
```yaml
- uses: changesets/action@v1 # [VERIFIED: https://github.com/changesets/action]
with:
publish: pnpm release # runs `changeset publish`
env:
NPM_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
```
Each PR that changes a package ships a `.changeset/<name>.md` describing the bump. CI blocks merge without one (`changeset status --since=origin/main`).
## cargo-release minimal config (Rust crates.io)
`release.toml` at repo root:
```toml
sign-tag = true
push = true
tag-message = "{{crate_name}} {{version}}"
pre-release-commit-message = "release: {{version}}"
```
Publish workflow runs on tag push: `cargo publish --token "$CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN"` where the token is minted just-in-time from the `ci-security-gate.md` trusted-publishing flow.
## Lock-file discipline
`Cargo.lock` / `package-lock.json` / `pnpm-lock.yaml` / `pubspec.lock` / `go.sum` — ALWAYS committed (RULE git-conventions). Release workflows must FAIL if the lock file is stale: `cargo update --locked --dry-run`, `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`, `go mod verify`.
## Forbidden
- Manual `git tag vX.Y.Z && git push --tags` when a release tool is configured (drift between CHANGELOG and tag)
- Two release tools in the same repo (release-please + cargo-release both tagging)
- Publishing from a `pull_request` trigger (never — only from `push` to main or `workflow_dispatch`)
- Forcing a tag with `git push --force origin refs/tags/*` — breaks every consumer that pinned by SHA
- Stale lock files passing CI (must be a hard fail, not a warning)

# CI — Security gate (secrets, SCA, SBOM, semgrep, licenses)
Every PR passes through this gate before merge. Every scheduled run re-scans `main`. Pair with `ci-github-actions.md` / `ci-forgejo-actions.md` (the shell) and RULE 0.8 (secrets SSoT) / () — the gate enforces both.
## Scanner set (one job each, matrix is fine)
| Concern | Tool | Trigger | Fail threshold |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leaked secrets | gitleaks [VERIFIED: https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks] | PR + push | any finding |
| Rust SCA | cargo-audit [VERIFIED: https://github.com/rustsec/rustsec] | PR + cron daily | any `Vulnerability` |
| Node SCA | `npm audit` / `pnpm audit` (native) | PR + cron | `high` and above |
| Python SCA | pip-audit [VERIFIED: https://github.com/pypa/pip-audit] | PR + cron | any CVE |
| SBOM generation | syft [VERIFIED: https://github.com/anchore/syft] | release only | CycloneDX JSON as artefact |
| SAST / patterns | semgrep [VERIFIED: https://github.com/semgrep/semgrep] | PR | any `ERROR` severity |
| License policy | cargo-deny [VERIFIED: https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/cargo-deny] (Rust) / license-checker (JS) | PR | disallowed SPDX ID |
## gitleaks — secrets scan (always first)
Runs before any build step so that a detected secret aborts the job without ever shipping a binary that used it.
```yaml
- uses: gitleaks/gitleaks-action@v2 # [VERIFIED: https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks-action]
env:
GITLEAKS_LICENSE: ${{ secrets.GITLEAKS_LICENSE }} # orgs only; free for ≤25 users
```
Custom rules in `.gitleaks.toml` at repo root — mirror the patterns from `~/.claude/rules/secrets-single-source.md` (sk-, ghp_, sk-ant-, Telegram bot, AWS access key, etc.). Any hit FAILS the run. No "informational" severity for secrets.
## cargo-audit / pip-audit / npm audit
Daily cron to catch CVEs published after merge. Fail-fast on HIGH/CRITICAL; report MEDIUM to a tracking issue rather than blocking the PR.
```yaml
- run: cargo audit --deny warnings --deny unmaintained --deny yanked
```
Pin the advisory-DB commit in vendored copies; upstream can get taken down.
## SBOM via syft
Generate CycloneDX JSON for every published artefact. Attach to the GitHub Release (see `ci-release-automation.md`) and to the container image as an OCI annotation.
```yaml
- uses: anchore/sbom-action@v0 # [VERIFIED: https://github.com/anchore/sbom-action]
with:
format: cyclonedx-json
artifact-name: sbom.cdx.json
```
SLSA provenance (`slsa-framework/slsa-github-generator`) is an optional upgrade; required when shipping to any customer under a supply-chain contract.
## semgrep — SAST
`p/default` + `p/secrets` + `p/owasp-top-ten` + any language pack relevant to the repo. Custom rules under `.semgrep/*.yaml` for project-specific patterns (e.g. "no `unwrap()` in request handlers").
```yaml
- uses: semgrep/semgrep-action@v1 # [VERIFIED: https://github.com/semgrep/semgrep-action]
env:
SEMGREP_RULES: p/default p/secrets p/owasp-top-ten
```
## License policy
`cargo-deny` `deny.toml` declares allowed SPDX identifiers (`MIT`, `Apache-2.0`, `BSD-3-Clause`, `ISC`, `Unicode-DFS-2016`). Anything else FAILS the PR. GPL / AGPL / SSPL in a commercial repo = hard stop. For JS, `license-checker --failOn 'GPL;AGPL;SSPL'`.
## Scheduling
```yaml
on:
pull_request:
push: { branches: [main] }
schedule:
- cron: "17 3 * * *" # daily 03:17 UTC — off-hour, avoids global burst
```
## Forbidden
- Running the security gate AFTER build/test (secret must block before the secret-using binary exists)
- Allowing "informational" severity on secrets scans (gitleaks = binary; 0 or 1)
- Skipping `cargo-audit` / `pip-audit` on release workflows (a CVE published yesterday ships today without it)
- Uploading SBOM to a public artefact store from a RULE-0.1 repo (internal artefact store only)
- Copy-pasting a secret detected by gitleaks into the chat to "discuss" — rotate at provider FIRST, then discuss

# DB — Drizzle ORM (TypeScript) patterns
Use when the project is TypeScript/Next.js/Bun/Node and needs a type-safe SQL layer without Prisma's heavyweight engine process. Pairs with `stack-nextjs`. [E4 — expert assessment]
**Core versions:** `drizzle-orm` (latest on npm) + `drizzle-kit` (migrations CLI) as of 2026-04. Peer-deps: `pg` for Postgres, `better-sqlite3` / `@libsql/client` for SQLite, `mysql2` for MySQL. [UNVERIFIED: pin exact versions from npm before shipping]
**Schema-first, not code-first:**
```ts
// db/schema.ts
import { pgTable, serial, text, timestamp, integer } from "drizzle-orm/pg-core";
export const users = pgTable("users", {
id: serial("id").primaryKey(),
email: text("email").notNull().unique(),
createdAt: timestamp("created_at").defaultNow().notNull(),
});
export const posts = pgTable("posts", {
id: serial("id").primaryKey(),
authorId: integer("author_id").references(() => users.id).notNull(),
body: text("body").notNull(),
});
```
`schema.ts` IS the source of truth. All types flow from it — `typeof users.$inferSelect` gives you the row type.
**Query with full inference:**
```ts
import { eq } from "drizzle-orm";
const rows = await db.select().from(users).where(eq(users.id, 1));
// rows: { id: number; email: string; createdAt: Date }[]
```
No codegen step, no separate `.prisma` file. Type errors surface in the IDE immediately.
**Migrations via drizzle-kit:**
```bash
drizzle-kit generate # diff schema.ts against prev snapshot → emit SQL in drizzle/
drizzle-kit migrate # apply pending migrations
drizzle-kit studio # local web UI to inspect data
```
Config in `drizzle.config.ts` — specify `dialect`, `schema`, `out`, `dbCredentials`.
**Connection / pool:**
```ts
import { drizzle } from "drizzle-orm/node-postgres";
import { Pool } from "pg";
const pool = new Pool({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL, max: 20 });
export const db = drizzle(pool, { schema });
```
Serverless (Vercel / CF Workers): use `neon-serverless` or `@libsql/client` driver instead — the `pg` Pool doesn't survive cold-start boundaries.
**Forbidden:** template-string SQL with untrusted input (`sql\`SELECT * WHERE x = ${userInput}\`` — use `sql.placeholder` or the query builder); committing `drizzle/meta/_journal.json` conflicts (merge manually or regenerate); mixing drizzle-kit versions across dev machines.

# DB — Migration hygiene (universal)
Applies to every migration tool — `kei-migrate`, Atlas, goose, sqlx-cli, drizzle-kit, Alembic, Prisma migrate, Ecto migrations. [E4 — expert assessment]
**Numbering:** timestamp prefix, not integer. `20260421_120000_add_users_email_index.sql` sorts correctly forever and doesn't collide on parallel branches. Integer sequences (`0001_`, `0002_`) collide on merge; reject them in review.
**Up + down pairs:** every migration has a reverse. If the reverse is destructive and unsafe (e.g. dropping a column with data), write a `-- IRREVERSIBLE` comment and stop the down-script there. NEVER auto-run destructive downs on prod without a human click.
**Idempotent where possible:**
```sql
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (...);
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_users_email ON users(email);
ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS bio TEXT; -- PG 9.6+, verify per-DB
```
Re-running a partially-applied migration should be safe. A migration that crashes mid-way and can't be re-run = 2AM incident waiting to happen.
**Zero-downtime pattern (add-then-drop):**
1. Deploy migration that ADDS new column / table (old code still works).
2. Deploy app code that writes BOTH old + new.
3. Backfill old → new.
4. Deploy app code that reads new, ignores old.
5. Deploy migration that DROPS old column.
Never `DROP` + `ADD RENAME` in one migration on a live table. That's a table lock + app-downtime event.
**Backfill patterns:**
- Small table (< 1M rows): `UPDATE ... SET new = f(old)` in a single migration.
- Large table: background job with batched `UPDATE ... WHERE id BETWEEN ? AND ?` + `LIMIT`. Commit per batch. Monitor lag.
- Very large (> 100M rows): use the DB's native tooling (PG `VACUUM FULL` not needed; `pg_repack` if column-add bloats). [UNVERIFIED: verify on current PG docs]
**Tracking table (`_kei_migrations` or equivalent):** stores (version, name, checksum, applied_at). Checksum prevents silent tampering with an already-applied file. If checksum mismatches on an applied migration → hard-fail, demand human intervention.
**Forbidden:** editing a migration file after it's been applied on any environment (checksum break); `DROP TABLE` without backup + 24h cooldown; mixing DDL + large DML in one transaction (long locks); running migrations automatically on app startup in multi-replica deploys without a leader-election guard (every replica tries to apply = race condition).

# DB — PostgreSQL (current major — 17 as of 2026-04) patterns
Use when the project needs relational integrity, concurrent writes, or server-side indexing power that SQLite can't match. Default RDBMS for new multi-user services. [E4 — expert assessment]
**Version choice:** PostgreSQL 17 for new projects (current GA line, improved vacuum, JSON_TABLE, better parallel index builds). PostgreSQL 16 acceptable if hosting provider pins it. [UNVERIFIED: exact feature matrix — verify on postgresql.org/docs before committing to a minor-version-specific feature]
**Schema migrations:** every schema change ships as a numbered `.sql` file, never `ALTER TABLE` on prod. Use `kei-migrate` (this kit) or Atlas/goose/sqlx-cli — see `db-migration-hygiene.md`. One migration per logical change; no mega-migrations.
**Indexing:**
- B-tree default for equality + range. `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY` on prod to avoid table lock.
- `GIN` for `jsonb` / array / full-text (`tsvector`).
- `BRIN` only for massive append-only time-series (orders of magnitude smaller than B-tree).
- Partial indexes (`WHERE active = true`) for sparse predicates.
- **Verify with `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)`** before declaring an index necessary. No blind indexing.
**Connection pooling:** app-side connection pool is NOT enough at scale. Use:
- **PgBouncer** (transaction mode) for most services — battle-tested, low overhead.
- **Supavisor** if already on Supabase — serverless-friendly, wire-compatible. [E4]
- Native server pooling (PG 17's improved but still not a substitute). [UNVERIFIED]
Sizing rule of thumb: `max_connections` on server × 1 pool layer. Don't stack pools (pool → PgBouncer → PG = deadlock risk).
**Backup:**
- Logical: `pg_dump` nightly for schema + data portability.
- Physical: `pg_basebackup` + WAL archiving (`archive_command`) for PITR.
- Managed service (RDS / Supabase / Neon) — verify backup retention in their UI, don't assume.
**Forbidden:** `SELECT *` in hot paths (N+1 + column drift); unindexed FK columns (join explosion); `SERIAL` on new tables — prefer `GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY` (SQL standard, PG 10+); plaintext passwords in `pg_hba.conf`; committing `.env` with DB URL.

# DB — SQLite (prod-suitable) patterns
Use when the workload is read-heavy, single-writer-acceptable, or needs zero-ops embedded storage. SQLite is prod-suitable — Fly.io, Turso, Cloudflare D1, and countless CLI/mobile apps run it in production. [E4 — expert assessment]
**When NOT to use:** high-concurrency write workload (> ~1 writer/sec sustained), multi-region strong consistency, horizontal write scaling. Use Postgres instead.
**WAL mode is mandatory for prod:**
```sql
PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL; -- readers don't block writer, writer doesn't block readers
PRAGMA synchronous = NORMAL; -- durable across app crash, NOT across power loss (use FULL if PSU-risk)
PRAGMA busy_timeout = 5000; -- 5s wait for lock instead of instant SQLITE_BUSY
PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON; -- default OFF in SQLite (!), always enable
PRAGMA temp_store = MEMORY;
```
Apply these on every connection open — they are per-connection, not per-database (except `journal_mode` which persists).
**Distributed patterns:**
- **Turso** (libSQL fork): edge-replicated read replicas with HTTP/WebSocket wire protocol. Primary single-writer, replicas read-only. [E4]
- **LiteFS** (Fly.io): file-system replication, leader-election via Consul. Primary+replicas. [E4]
- **Cloudflare D1**: managed SQLite on edge with their own replication. [UNVERIFIED: current throughput limits]
- **Litestream**: continuous replication to S3/R2 for backup + PITR; single node, not HA.
**Full-text search (FTS5):**
```sql
CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE docs_fts USING fts5(title, body, content=docs, content_rowid=id);
CREATE TRIGGER docs_ai AFTER INSERT ON docs BEGIN
INSERT INTO docs_fts(rowid, title, body) VALUES (new.id, new.title, new.body);
END;
```
FTS5 outperforms bolt-on `LIKE '%x%'` by 100×+ on large text corpora. Native, no extension install.
**Backup:** `sqlite3 db '.backup /path/backup.db'` while app runs (safe with WAL). Or Litestream for continuous.
**Forbidden:** multiple writer processes without a coordination layer; opening the same DB over NFS (lock semantics broken); `DELETE FROM bigtable` without `VACUUM` after (doesn't shrink file); committing the `.db` / `.db-wal` / `.db-shm` files to git.

# DB — SQLx (Rust) patterns
Use when the project is Rust and needs a SQL-first (not ORM) query layer with compile-time checking. Pairs with `stack-rust-axum`, `stack-rust-cli`. [E4 — expert assessment]
**Core versions:** `sqlx = "0.8"` (current as of 2026-04) with features `runtime-tokio`, `tls-rustls`, and one of `postgres` / `sqlite` / `mysql`. Never mix `runtime-async-std` and `runtime-tokio` — they clash at link time. [UNVERIFIED: verify latest on crates.io before pinning]
**Compile-time checked queries:**
```rust
let row = sqlx::query!("SELECT id, name FROM users WHERE id = $1", user_id)
.fetch_one(&pool).await?;
```
Requires either:
- `DATABASE_URL` env set during `cargo build` (live DB) — convenient in dev, brittle in CI.
- **Offline mode** (recommended for CI): `cargo sqlx prepare` commits `.sqlx/query-*.json` to the repo, then CI builds with `SQLX_OFFLINE=true` and no DB access.
**Connection pool:**
```rust
let pool = sqlx::postgres::PgPoolOptions::new()
.max_connections(20) // tune to server max_connections / replica count
.acquire_timeout(Duration::from_secs(3))
.connect(&database_url).await?;
```
Single `PgPool` per process, `Arc`-cloned into handlers. Don't open per-request.
**Migrations:**
```rust
sqlx::migrate!("./migrations").run(&pool).await?;
```
Built-in runner reads `YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_<name>.sql` files. For richer UX (up/down, status, create scaffolding) use the `kei-migrate` primitive in this kit.
**Transactions:**
```rust
let mut tx = pool.begin().await?;
sqlx::query!("...").execute(&mut *tx).await?;
sqlx::query!("...").execute(&mut *tx).await?;
tx.commit().await?; // explicit; Drop = rollback
```
**Forbidden:** `sqlx::query` (non-macro) with untrusted input without `bind()` — that's string concat, i.e. SQL injection; `.unwrap()` on DB calls in prod paths; enabling both `runtime-tokio` and `runtime-async-std`; committing a live `DATABASE_URL` to `.env.example`.

# DEPLOY — AWS EC2 (Instance Connect + Elastic IP)
**SSH pattern — EC2 Instance Connect (60 s key window, no permanent authorized_keys):**
```
aws ec2-instance-connect send-ssh-public-key \
--instance-id i-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX \
--instance-os-user ec2-user \
--ssh-public-key file://~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
ssh ec2-user@<elastic-ip> # within 60 s
```
Typical pattern: dedicated instance per project with an Elastic IP in a chosen region. Multi-project shared hosts are fine, but track co-tenancy (below).
**Network posture:**
- **Elastic IP** for any node that needs stable identity (client configs, DNS, firewall rules).
- **Security Group**: allow SSH (port 22) ONLY from Tailscale CGNAT (`100.64.0.0/10`) or a specific admin IP. NEVER `0.0.0.0/0:22` in prod.
- Application ports exposed through an ALB or nginx reverse proxy — not directly on the instance.
- IMDSv2 REQUIRED (`HttpTokens=required`). v1 is SSRF-exploitable.
**IAM:**
- Use IAM roles attached to the instance (`aws configure` on-instance hits the metadata endpoint).
- NEVER bake static AWS keys into AMI / env / user-data.
- Use a preconfigured named AWS profile (`--profile <name>`), not interactive console for read ops.
**Shared-host coordination:** if one instance runs multiple apps (e.g. API + marketing dashboards + internal tools), host-level change (apt / systemd / nginx) → cross-project impact check BEFORE reboot.
**Forbidden:** open port 22 to `0.0.0.0/0`, static AWS keys in repo / `.env` committed to git, IMDSv1, rebooting shared hosts without cross-project sanity check, asking user to log into console for read ops (profile is set up — use it).

# DEPLOY — Cloudflare (Workers / Pages / R2 / KV)
**Tooling:** `wrangler` CLI (≥ 3.x). `wrangler.toml` is source of truth for bindings, NOT dashboard clicks.
**Surface map:**
- **Workers** — edge compute. `wrangler deploy`. Logs via `wrangler tail`.
- **Pages** — static sites + Pages Functions. Per-branch preview URLs automatic.
- **R2** — S3-compatible object storage. No egress fees.
- **KV** — eventually-consistent key-value config store. Reads cached at the edge.
- **D1** — SQLite at edge (beta/GA track).
**Secrets (NEVER in `wrangler.toml`):**
```
wrangler secret put API_KEY # interactive, encrypted at rest
wrangler secret put --env prod DB_URL
```
`wrangler.toml` is committed to git; secrets live in the platform vault only.
**Self-sufficiency — CF API token scopes (request ALL up front):**
Workers KV · Workers R2 · Workers Scripts · Pages · Zone Edit · DNS · Zone Read · Zone Settings · SSL. Missing scope → ask user to add to token, NEVER ask user to click in the dashboard.
**HARD RULE — CF ToS forbids proxy-mode traffic forwarding:**
- Worker for signaling, fronting helpers, metadata lookups — OK
- Worker as a full proxy pipe (upstream ⇆ Worker ⇆ downstream as a tunnel) — FORBIDDEN. Signaling / rendezvous Workers must do metadata only, NEVER arbitrary traffic. Violation → account ban.
**Cache strategy:** `Cache-Control` headers authoritative; purge via `wrangler pages deployment` or API. `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` / `PUBLIC_*` vars ship to client — treat as non-secret.
**Forbidden:** secrets in `wrangler.toml`, full-proxy Workers (ToS), manual dashboard edits when API token has the scope, committing `.dev.vars`.

# DEPLOY — Docker
**Dockerfile — multi-stage MANDATORY** (build tools never ship to prod image):
```
FROM rust:1.80 AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN cargo build --release --bin myapp
FROM gcr.io/distroless/cc-debian12
COPY --from=builder /app/target/release/myapp /myapp
USER nonroot:nonroot
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s CMD ["/myapp", "--healthcheck"]
ENTRYPOINT ["/myapp"]
```
**Base image:** `distroless` (preferred, no shell — smaller attack surface) or `alpine` (if musl compat) or `debian:slim`. NEVER `ubuntu:latest` for prod.
**File ops:**
- `COPY` — deterministic. NEVER `ADD` (auto-extracts tars, fetches URLs — surprising behavior).
- `.dockerignore` committed. Includes `.git`, `target/`, `node_modules/`, `.env*`, `secrets/`.
**Secrets:**
- NEVER `ENV SECRET=...` — leaks into image layers forever.
- Build-time secrets via `--secret id=foo,src=./foo.txt` (BuildKit).
- Runtime secrets via env injection from orchestrator / docker-compose `secrets:` (Swarm) / K8s Secret.
**User:** `USER nonroot` (distroless provides it) or explicit `RUN useradd -u 10001 app && USER app`. Running as root = CVE amplifier.
**Healthcheck:** MANDATORY. Orchestrator uses it for readiness/liveness; without it, failed containers stay "up".
**docker-compose:** LOCAL DEV ONLY. For prod, the orchestrator (ECS, Fargate, K8s, Nomad, Docker Swarm) owns the deployment. Typical prod pattern: single container listening on internal port, behind nginx reverse proxy on a public port, colocated on a shared host.
**Forbidden:** `ADD` for local files (use `COPY`); `USER root` in final stage; secrets in `ENV` or `ARG`; missing `HEALTHCHECK`; `docker-compose` as prod orchestrator; `:latest` tags in prod manifests; single-stage Dockerfile that ships build toolchain.

**Why Hetzner:** cheapest EU VPS with reputable network. CX22 (x86, 2 vCPU / 4 GB / 40 GB) = **€3.79/mo + VAT**; CAX11 (Ampere ARM64, 2 vCPU / 4 GB / 40 GB) = **€3.79/mo + VAT**. Prices verified on <https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/> [VERIFIED 2026-04-21]. Hourly billing caps at the monthly rate — safe to spin down for tests.
**Terraform provider:** `hetznercloud/hcloud` (official). Pin version:
```hcl
terraform {
required_providers {
hcloud = { source = "hetznercloud/hcloud", version = "~> 1.49" }
}
}
provider "hcloud" { token = var.hcloud_token }
```
Token via env: `export HCLOUD_TOKEN=$(grep ^HCLOUD_TOKEN ~/.claude/secrets/.env | cut -d= -f2)`. **NEVER commit the token** (RULE 0.8 — see `domain-has-secrets.md`).
**Minimal `hcloud_server` resource:**
```hcl
resource "hcloud_server" "node" {
name = "kei-${var.env}-${var.role}"
image = "debian-12"
server_type = var.arch == "arm64" ? "cax11" : "cx22"
location = var.location # fsn1 / nbg1 / hel1 / ash / hil / sin
ssh_keys = [hcloud_ssh_key.admin.id]
user_data = file("${path.module}/cloud-init.yaml")
firewalls { firewall_id = hcloud_firewall.base.id }
labels = { project = "kei", env = var.env }
}
```
`ssh_keys` is **mandatory** — passing it disables the root password e-mail path.
**Cloud Firewall (stateful, IN by default DENY):**
```hcl
resource "hcloud_firewall" "base" {
name = "kei-base"
rule { direction = "in" protocol = "tcp" port = "22" source_ips = var.admin_cidrs }
rule { direction = "in" protocol = "icmp" source_ips = ["0.0.0.0/0", "::/0"] }
# Add app ports (443, 80) only when an app is deployed behind the node.
}
```
Attach to the server via `firewalls { firewall_id = … }`. Cloud Firewall is the FIRST line of defense — it drops traffic before it hits the VM's ufw (see `security-firewall-ufw.md`). Both layers MUST agree.
**Locations:** `fsn1` (Falkenstein DE), `nbg1` (Nürnberg DE), `hel1` (Helsinki FI), `ash` (Ashburn US), `hil` (Hillsboro US), `sin` (Singapore). Pick region closest to users; ARM64 `cax*` available in EU only [VERIFIED 2026-04-21].
**Snapshots + rescue:** `hcloud_snapshot` for golden images; `hcloud server enable-rescue` before SSH lockout recovery. Back up `user_data` and TF state (remote backend: S3-compatible such as R2).
**Primitives provided by KeiSeiKit:**
- `_primitives/provision-hetzner.sh` — wrapper around `hcloud` CLI, idempotent create/destroy, checks existing server by name first.
- Complement with `_primitives/harden-base.sh` run over SSH after first boot.
**Forbidden:** hcloud token in `.tf` or `.tfvars` committed to git; Cloud Firewall with port 22 open to `0.0.0.0/0`; creating servers with `keep_disk = false` then snapshotting (destroys data); using Hetzner Storage Boxes for anything needing low latency (they're SFTP-over-WAN).

# DEPLOY — LOCAL ONLY (sensitive / pre-disclosure project)
Use this block for any project that CANNOT be publicly deployed — typical triggers: proprietary ML weights/architectures you don't want in public training corpora, security tooling that burns its own usefulness on exposure, kernel-level code, client-confidential codebases.
**Hard forbidden (no matter how small the change):**
- Public-URL share pages / static HTML dumps to public hosting
- Vercel / Netlify / GitHub Pages / Cloudflare Pages public deploy
- `gh repo create` public, `gh repo edit --visibility public`
- `git push` to a public remote (GitHub, public GitLab)
- Publishing architecture diagrams with node counts, param totals, or training configs
- Public benchmark tables naming this project
**Allowed:**
- Private remotes (self-hosted Forgejo/Gitea over SSH on a private network)
- Tailscale-only internal services
- Local-only `127.0.0.1` / LAN dev servers
- `.app` / `.dmg` distribution via private channels
**Double-confirmation override (both phrases required, in order, exact wording):**
1. "yes, deploy"
2. "I confirm publication"
No approximations. Informal variants do NOT count. If either phrase is absent, refuse.
**Example categories that typically require local-only:** censorship-circumvention tooling (public push burns exit-node IPs), ML ensembles with trained weights, control / guidance algorithms, offensive security research.
**Report field:** "Public-deploy surface touched: none | <explicit surface> — double-confirm obtained yes/no."

# DEPLOY — Modal (GPU compute)
A real cost-overrun incident (tens of dollars lost to unchecked runs) and a real KILL-GUARD incident (over an hour of training killed for a non-critical bug) shape every rule below.
**Pre-launch 10-step checklist (all ticks before `modal run`):**
1. `modal app list` — verify no collisions/duplicates
2. GPU compat: A10G torch ≥ 2.0 (~$1.10/hr), H100 torch ≥ 2.1 (~$4.50/hr), B200 torch ≥ 2.6 (~$8/hr)
3. `cat` the script — confirm file edits actually landed
4. Cost estimate in dollars, verified on live https://modal.com/pricing (NOT from memory)
5. Volume + `vol.commit()` after each write
6. Checkpoints every 500 steps saving `state_dict` (not just JSON metrics)
7. `retries=modal.Retries(max_retries=1)` minimum
8. `.spawn()` for batches — NEVER `.map()` (cascade-kill on single failure)
9. `flush=True` on every print; progress every 250 steps
10. Single-variant smoke run BEFORE fanning out to N variants
**Cost tiers:** AUTO < $5 · WARN $5-$20 (daily cap $20) · STOP > $20 (explicit user "yes, launch").
**anti-stop guard (no exception):**
- NEVER `modal app stop`, `modal app kill`, `kill <pid>`, `pkill -f modal` without literal user phrase "yes, stop it".
- Before any stop: `modal app list` → show user what is running, how long in, how much remaining, current checkpoint state.
- A bug in the launching script is NOT a reason to kill a running training run.
**Volume persistence:** results survive only inside `modal.Volume` with explicit `vol.commit()`. Stdout is ephemeral — checkpoints in volume, metrics in volume, logs to volume.
**Forbidden:** guessed prices from memory; `.map(return_exceptions=False)` for batches; `print()` without `flush=True`; launching N variants before one verified single-variant; restarting "for cleanliness" when checkpoints are flowing; stopping a run to fix the launching script.

# DEPLOY — Generic VPS (provider-agnostic cloud-init + ssh-first-contact)
**Target providers:** DigitalOcean Droplets, Vultr, UpCloud, Linode/Akamai. Each has slightly different Terraform providers + CLIs, but the Day-0 contract is identical: **boot a Debian/Ubuntu image with a cloud-init user-data blob; add one admin SSH key; nothing else.**
**Day-0 cloud-init blob (`cloud-init.yaml`) — universal:**
```yaml
#cloud-config
hostname: kei-${env}-${role}
timezone: UTC
package_update: true
package_upgrade: true
packages:
- ufw
- fail2ban
- unattended-upgrades
- auditd
- needrestart
- curl
- jq
users:
- name: keiadmin
groups: sudo
shell: /bin/bash
sudo: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
ssh_authorized_keys:
- ${ADMIN_PUBKEY}
ssh_pwauth: false
disable_root: true
write_files:
- path: /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/99-kei.conf
permissions: '0644'
content: |
PasswordAuthentication no
PermitRootLogin no
MaxAuthTries 3
AllowUsers keiadmin
ClientAliveInterval 120
ClientAliveCountMax 2
runcmd:
- [ systemctl, restart, ssh ]
- [ ufw, default, deny, incoming ]
- [ ufw, default, allow, outgoing ]
- [ ufw, allow, 22/tcp ]
- [ ufw, --force, enable ]
```
The blob is intentionally provider-neutral. Provider-specific bits (private-network bring-up, metadata service quirks) go in a short appendix the provisioner appends. See `_primitives/harden-base.sh` for post-boot hardening re-runs.
**SSH-first-contact (`ssh-first-contact.sh` pattern):**
```bash
# Wait for cloud-init to finish AND sshd to be ready on the new IP.
for i in $(seq 1 60); do
ssh -o ConnectTimeout=3 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new \
"keiadmin@$IP" "cloud-init status --wait" && break
sleep 5
done
ssh "keiadmin@$IP" "sudo test -f /var/lib/cloud/instance/boot-finished"
```
`StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new` is OK only for the FIRST contact (TOFU). Store the fingerprint to `~/.ssh/known_hosts`; subsequent connects use default strict mode. Never use `StrictHostKeyChecking=no` — accepts MitM silently.
**Terraform skeleton (provider-agnostic via vars):**
```hcl
variable "provider_kind" {} # "digitalocean" | "vultr" | "upcloud" | "linode"
variable "region" {}
variable "size_slug" {} # provider-specific size id
variable "admin_pubkey" {} # raw ssh-ed25519 …
locals {
user_data = templatefile("${path.module}/cloud-init.yaml", { ADMIN_PUBKEY = var.admin_pubkey })
}
# ... then a module-per-provider resource that all read `local.user_data`
```
Keep TF state **local per-env-per-dev by default**; upgrade to remote backend (R2, S3, Terraform Cloud) only when ≥ 2 humans share state.
**Per-provider gotchas (verified 2026-04-21):**
- **DigitalOcean:** Marketplace "Docker" images skip unattended-upgrades — start from plain Debian 12 instead. IPv6 requires `ipv6 = true` on the droplet.
- **Vultr:** `vultr-cli` needs `VULTR_API_KEY`; default firewall is OPEN — attach a firewall group or rely solely on ufw.
- **UpCloud:** IPs rotate on full stop+start unless you request `floating_ip`. Consider Finnish ASN if Hetzner is blocked or rate-limited for your geo.
- **Linode:** cloud-init runs before disk resize on some plans → `growpart` may need a rerun on first `ssh`.
**Forbidden:** baking the admin private key into an AMI/snapshot; reusing one SSH keypair across envs; letting cloud-init pull scripts from a mutable URL (`curl … | bash` in `runcmd:` — pin to a hash); running `apt-get dist-upgrade -y` in `runcmd` without `needrestart` to surface pending reboots.

# DOCS — Architecture diagrams (Mermaid)
Diagrams live beside the prose they describe. Mermaid renders natively on
GitHub / Forgejo / Gitea / Obsidian — no extra tooling needed to view.
## When to include
- Any agent/skill that scaffolds documentation for a multi-component system
- Any repo with ≥ 3 services / layers / subsystems
## Four diagram patterns (use the right one)
### 1. System context (C4 level 1) — `flowchart LR`
```mermaid
flowchart LR
U[User] -->|HTTP| API[API Gateway]
API -->|gRPC| SVC[Service]
SVC -->|SQL| DB[(PostgreSQL)]
SVC -->|publish| Q[[Queue]]
```
Use for: one-page overview, onboarding, README architecture section.
### 2. Sequence — `sequenceDiagram`
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
Client->>API: POST /orders
API->>DB: INSERT
DB-->>API: id
API-->>Client: 201 Created
```
Use for: request flow, auth handshake, error recovery sequence.
### 3. State machine — `stateDiagram-v2`
```mermaid
stateDiagram-v2
[*] --> Pending
Pending --> Running: start
Running --> Done: success
Running --> Failed: error
Failed --> Pending: retry
```
Use for: job lifecycle, FSM-driven features, connection state.
### 4. ER / data model — `erDiagram`
```mermaid
erDiagram
USER ||--o{ ORDER : places
ORDER ||--|{ LINE_ITEM : contains
```
Use for: DB schema summary. Keep ≤ 10 entities per diagram.
## Rules
- **Diagram-as-code, no binary exports.** `.mmd` or fenced block, never `.png`
- **≤ 15 nodes / 20 edges per diagram.** Over that → split
- **Labels are nouns.** Edges are verbs. No prose inside nodes
- **One diagram = one concern.** Don't mix system context + sequence in one chart
- **Preview locally** with `mmdc` before commit: `mmdc -i diagram.mmd -o /tmp/preview.svg`
- **Link to source in caption** — "See `docs/diagrams/orders.mmd` for source"
## Forbidden
- ASCII art for multi-node graphs (use Mermaid — renders everywhere)
- Diagrams that contradict the code (stale → delete or fix)
- Secrets / real hostnames / IPs in diagrams (use placeholders)
## Install `mmdc` (preview tool)
```
npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli # one-time
mmdc -i docs/diagrams/context.mmd -o /tmp/preview.svg
```
## References
- Mermaid syntax — https://mermaid.js.org/intro/ [VERIFIED: https://mermaid.js.org/intro/]

# DOCS — `CLAUDE.md` (project bootstrap template)
A per-project `CLAUDE.md` answers one question: *what does a Claude agent need to know in the first 30 seconds on this repo?* It is read before any code work. Keep it under ~150 lines.
**Canonical sections (in this order):**
1. **Project one-liner** — name, domain, status (`active | maintenance | archived`), primary stack, public-surface flag.
2. **Architecture** — 2-5 bullets + optional Mermaid block. Layer names match the code tree. If a layer diagram helps, `_blocks/docs-architecture-diagrams.md` has the patterns.
3. **Stack / dependencies** — language(s), major frameworks, DB, queue, deploy target. One line per item.
4. **Constraints** — API rate limits, licensing, cost tiers, platform quirks (e.g. "Flux 2 Pro zero-config", "SPM needs `-Xlinker`").
5. **Known issues** — bugs that aren't fixable now, workarounds, tickets. Keep dated.
6. **Test invariants** — how tests are run (`cargo test --release`, `pytest`, `flutter test`), coverage floor, which tests are load-bearing.
7. **Commands cheatsheet** — 5-8 commands the agent will type most: build, test, lint, deploy, format.
8. **Secrets / credentials** — env var NAMES only (RULE 0.8). Never literal tokens. Path: `secrets/*.env`.
9. **Related files**`DECISIONS.md`, `HOTPATHS.md`, `TODO.md`, runbooks.
**Placeholders used by `kei-docs-scaffold.sh`:**
`{{PROJECT_NAME}}`, `{{STACK}}`, `{{DEPLOY}}`, `{{PRIMARY_LANGUAGE}}`, `{{TEST_CMD}}`.
**Forbidden:**
- Copying the umbrella `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` here — link to it, do not duplicate.
- Storing API tokens / private URLs (use `secrets/*.env`).
- Marketing prose. Every line must be actionable by the agent.

# DOCS — `DECISIONS.md` / ADR template (MADR 4.0)
Architecture Decision Records capture *why* a non-trivial choice was made, so future maintainers (including agents) don't re-litigate. Format: **MADR 4.0** (Markdown Any Decision Records, 2024). Nygard originated the practice in 2011.
**One ADR per non-trivial decision.** File path convention:
- Single-file log: append to `DECISIONS.md` (top-of-file = newest).
- Per-decision files: `docs/adr/NNNN-kebab-case-title.md` (NNNN = zero-padded int).
**MADR 4.0 template (copy as-is):**
```markdown
# ADR-NNNN: <short imperative title>
- **Status:** Proposed | Accepted | Rejected | Superseded-by-ADR-NNNN | Deprecated
- **Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
- **Deciders:** @handle, @handle
- **Evidence grade:** E1-E6 (see `_blocks/evidence-grading.md`)
## Context and Problem Statement
<1-3 sentences: what forces us to decide? What breaks if we don't?>
## Decision Drivers
- Driver 1 (e.g. cost < $X/mo)
- Driver 2 (e.g. must run offline)
- Driver 3 (e.g. team knows language Y)
## Considered Options
1. **Option A** — one-line summary
2. **Option B** — one-line summary
3. **Option C** — one-line summary
## Decision Outcome
Chosen: **Option <letter>**, because <1-2 sentences tying back to drivers>.
### Consequences
- Positive: <what improves>
- Negative: <what we give up, tech debt incurred>
- Neutral: <noteworthy but not directional>
## Pros and Cons of the Options
### Option A
- Pro: ...
- Con: ...
### Option B
- Pro: ...
- Con: ...
## Links
- Supersedes: ADR-NNNN
- Related: `HOTPATHS.md#section`, external URL
- Evidence source: [VERIFIED: url] or [UNVERIFIED]
```
**Rules:**
- Status `Accepted` = implemented or actively being implemented. `Proposed` = under review. `Rejected` stays as an ADR (the record of why we said no).
- Never delete a past ADR. Supersede with a new ADR that references the old number.
- Evidence grade mandatory (RULE 0.4). No grade → the ADR is unreviewable.

# DOCS — Public `README.md` scaffold
`README.md` is the first file a new reader (human OR agent) opens. One file, nine sections, in this order. Keep ≤ 300 lines; longer material lives in `docs/`.
**Nine-section template:**
```markdown
# {{PROJECT_NAME}}
> One-line pitch (what + why, ≤ 100 chars).
[![CI](badge)](link) [![License](badge)](link) [![Version](badge)](link)
## What
2-3 sentences: what it does, who it's for. No marketing adjectives.
## Why
2-3 sentences: problem this solves, alternatives considered, why this one.
Link to the relevant ADR: [DECISIONS.md](DECISIONS.md#adr-nnnn).
## Install
```bash
# Primary path — the 90% case
<one command>
```
**Prerequisites:** <language X >= vN, OS constraints, system deps>.
<If needed: alternative install methods in `docs/install.md`.>
## Usage
Smallest working example. Copy-pasteable.
```bash
<command producing visible output>
```
Link to a richer quickstart in `docs/quickstart.md` if >20 lines.
## Development
```bash
git clone <repo>
cd <repo>
<bootstrap command, e.g. cargo build>
<test command>
```
Project layout:
- `src/` — implementation
- `tests/` — integration tests
- `docs/` — long-form docs
- `{{STACK}}-specific notes → link>
## Deploy
Target: **{{DEPLOY}}**. One-liner: `<deploy command>`.
Full runbook: `docs/runbooks/deploy.md`.
## Architecture
One paragraph + one Mermaid diagram (see `_blocks/docs-architecture-diagrams.md`). Detail in `docs/architecture.md`.
## Contributing
- Issue tracker: <url>
- Commit convention: Conventional Commits (see `_blocks/git-conventions` in kit)
- PR checklist: `docs/CONTRIBUTING.md`
## License
<SPDX id> — see [LICENSE](LICENSE).
```
**Rules:**
- No secrets (RULE 0.8). No literal tokens.
- Install command must be ONE command for the happy path.
- Every "see docs/X" link must resolve — scaffolder verifies or creates the target.
- If the project is private / not publicly deployable (banned list per `rules/security.md`), mark the repo header with `<!-- PRIVATE — do not publish -->` and omit public badges.

# DOCS — Operational runbook template
A runbook tells on-call (or a future agent) exactly what to do when an alert fires. Every production system needs one per failure class. Format: *symptoms → checks → fixes → escalation*.
**File path:** `docs/runbooks/<component>-<alert-name>.md`. Index in `docs/runbooks/README.md` (or link from `HOTPATHS.md`).
**Template (copy as-is):**
```markdown
# Runbook — <component>: <alert or symptom name>
## Metadata
- **Severity:** SEV1 (page now) | SEV2 (work hours) | SEV3 (next day)
- **On-call rotation:** <team / pagerduty schedule / single handle>
- **Last rehearsed:** YYYY-MM-DD (stale > 90d → re-rehearse)
- **Linked ADRs:** ADR-NNNN
## Symptoms
- Observable signal: <metric name> > <threshold> for <duration>
- User impact: <what breaks for end users>
- Typical dashboards: <URLs>
## Diagnostic checks (in order)
1. Check dashboard X — if metric Y is flat, skip to step 4
2. Tail logs: `<exact command>`
3. Inspect dependency Z status page: <URL>
4. Reproduce locally if unclear: `<command>`
## Fixes (try in order; STOP at first that works)
### Fix A — restart (lowest risk)
```bash
<exact command>
```
Verify: <metric returns to <threshold> within <time>>
### Fix B — rollback
```bash
<exact command>
```
Verify: <...>
### Fix C — scale up (if load-related)
```bash
<exact command>
```
## Escalation
- 15 min without recovery → page <secondary on-call>
- Data loss suspected → page <eng-lead> AND <security>
- Customer-visible > 30 min → post to <status-page-url>
## Post-incident
- File incident report at `docs/incidents/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md`
- If root cause new → new ADR in `DECISIONS.md`
- If runbook step failed → update this file (date the edit)
## Known non-issues
- Symptom X that looks scary but is benign (e.g. queue lag < 5s during deploy)
```
**Rules:**
- One alert = one runbook. Do not bundle.
- Every command is copy-pasteable. No placeholders `<...>` in the live fixes section.
- Rehearse quarterly. Mark the date.

# DOMAIN — Secrets handling
Project stores credentials / API keys / private keys / tunnel keys. Treat every leaked byte as irrecoverable.
**Storage convention:**
- Path: `<repo>/secrets/*.env` — NEVER checked in.
- `.gitignore` has `secrets/` **before any secret is written into the tree**. Verify with `git check-ignore secrets/foo.env` (should print the path).
- File permissions `chmod 600` on every secret file.
**Reference by path only in reports / logs / chats:**
> "Using keys from `secrets/nodes.env`" — GOOD.
> "Using key `abc123xyz...`" — FORBIDDEN.
Never echo secret values in:
- Agent output / tool reports
- Chat messages back to user
- Stdout / stderr of running processes
- Commit messages, PR descriptions
- Error messages (log the CODE path, not the token)
**Loading at runtime:**
- Rust: `dotenvy` or plain `std::env::var` after `direnv allow`.
- Python: `python-dotenv` at startup, NEVER inline literals.
- Node/Next: `.env.local` (`.gitignore`), platform vars in prod.
- Shell: `source secrets/foo.env``export` inside, never commit the export line.
**Rotation:** when a secret is suspected leaked — rotate at provider → update `secrets/*.env` → restart services → verify old key rejected. Do not "wait and see".
**Forbidden:** committing `.env` / `secrets/` (even once — git history persists); echoing values in reports; literal API keys in `lib/` / `src/` / `Cargo.toml` / `package.json`; `git add -A` in a repo that has secrets (use explicit file paths); copying secret values into chat to "show" user what's there.

# DOMAIN — ML Training
Math-First block (`rule-math-first.md`) MUST be included alongside this one.
**Pre-Experiment Check — blocking checklist (answer all before launch — each GPU run costs real money):**
1. **TOKENIZATION** — BPE / character / byte / morphological? Different tokenizations produce different units and are NOT directly comparable.
2. **ARCHITECTURE** — exact class / file / commit. No ambiguity.
3. **INIT / MATRICES** — random / structured / pretrained? Note initialization distribution and rank if relevant.
4. **TRAINING DIRECTION** — forward / reverse / mixed? State it; some models are only tested one way.
5. **METRIC** — what EXACT metric and on what EXACT data split. State units (PPL on which tokenizer, accuracy on which set).
6. **RESEARCH QUESTION** — "This run tests hypothesis: ___". Cannot formulate → DO NOT LAUNCH.
7. **PRIOR RESULTS** — check your `memory/{project}.md` + any `wrong-paths*.md` notes. Don't repeat failed configs.
8. **KNOWN BUGS** — list the known-broken configurations for the current architecture. Don't re-hit them.
**Results logging — IMMEDIATELY after every run (success / timeout / failed / NaN):**
Record in `memory/{project}.md` BEFORE analysis. Mandatory fields: Model name, Architecture, Dimensions, Key config, Params **EXACT** (never "~7M"), Data + count, Steps/Epochs, Batch/Seq, Seed, Metric, Best, Time, Hardware, Status, Cost actual, Notes.
**Multi-seed rigor (for any claim going into DECISIONS.md, a paper, or a public result):**
- Minimum **≥ 5 seeds** (3 for smoke tests). Default `[42, 137, 256, ...]`.
- Report cross-validation mean ± std, NOT single-fold cherry-pick. Single-fold cherry-picking can inflate published numbers by double-digit percentage points.
- Cache ablation table (full / zero / random / shuffled) on zero-model AND one-trained-model.
**Baseline-first discipline:** before running ANY exploration-heavy training (hill-climb, ES, PPO, RL) on a task, SEARCH for an existing published baseline (env source tree, paper README, leaderboards). If one exists — run it locally, extract trajectories, distill your model via supervised loss, THEN fine-tune. Pure exploration from scratch when a baseline exists is wasted compute.
**Forbidden:** launching without the checklist; "~N M" params; analyzing before logging; single-seed claims for anything public; class weighting when val matches train prior; cosine LR on < 50 epochs; tuning before ablating what's unnecessary.

# DOMAIN — Paid APIs (Anthropic / OpenAI / fal.ai / Apify / Modal / AWS / GCP / ElevenLabs)
A real cost-overrun incident (a job estimated in tens of dollars that actually ran into triple digits on a GPU provider) motivates every rule below.
**MANDATORY pre-launch handoff to `kei-cost-guardian` before ANY paid run:**
1. Dashboard balance — state the current number, not "I think it's roughly".
2. Pricing page — fetch LIVE (WebFetch), not from memory. Rates change.
3. Running jobs — `modal app list` / provider dashboard → show user what's already billing.
4. Cost estimate — formula AND dollars. Example: `N_gpus × hours × $1.10/hr (A10G, verified <today>)`.
5. Single-variant verify — one run succeeds before fanning out to N variants (failed config × N = N billings).
6. Tell user the exact dollar cost BEFORE launch. Explicit GO required for anything > $5.
7. Monitor first 2 minutes of stdout — health check before fan-out.
**Cost tiers:**
- < $5 — AUTO (cost line in report, no confirmation needed)
- $5-$20 — WARN + daily-cap check ($20/day session cap)
- > $20 — STOP, explicit user "yes, launch" with the dollar number echoed back
**Batch ops (Apify, OpenAI batch, ElevenLabs bulk TTS):**
- Estimate whole-batch cost BEFORE first call

# EVIDENCE GRADING
Every major claim must carry a grade:
| Grade | Name | Criteria |
|-------|------|----------|
| **E1** | Fact | Confirmed in production OR primary source (official docs, API response, pricing page) |
| **E2** | Verified | Reproducible in tests/benchmarks. Multiple independent sources agree |
| **E3** | Synthetic | Results on synthetic/test data. Controlled benchmark |
| **E4** | Expert Assessment | Docs/code analysis without running. Extrapolation. Literature consensus |
| **E5** | Hypothesis | Theoretical assumption. Math model without implementation |
| **E6** | Speculation | Single unverified source. Outdated data (>6mo) |
Rules: architectural decision → E1-E2. Financial (compute) → ONLY E1. Data >6mo without re-verification → grade 1. Single source → max E4. Own benchmark without external confirm → max E3.

# MEMORY PROTOCOL
**At start:**
1. Read `~/.claude/memory/MEMORY.md` (or your index file) → find relevant project file
2. Read `memory/{project}.md` → constraints, stack, status, learnings
3. If ML / research work: also check your `wrong-paths.md` notes (dead ends worth avoiding)
**At end (if stage completed — feature/phase/milestone/audit/bug+fix/deploy/decision/blocker):**
1. Append to `memory/{project}.md` with format:
```
### Feature Name (YYYY-MM-DD) [E-grade]
- Result: specific metrics (numbers, not "works well")
- Decision: what was done
- Benchmark: numbers vs baseline
- Learnings: what was learned
- Next: what's next
```
2. If dead end / wrong path → append to your `wrong-paths.md`
3. If architectural decision → project's `DECISIONS.md`
4. Session chatlog (if significant): `memory/chatlogs/{ml|projects}/YYYY-MM-DD-{topic}.md`
**Forbidden:** transitioning without saving; writing "works" without metrics; leaving credentials only in conversation context.

# MODE — Devil's Advocate
Your job is to steel-man the opposite of whatever seems right.
Before agreeing with any plan, articulate the strongest argument AGAINST it:
- What is the hidden cost the user missed?
- Who or what suffers when this ships? (downstream consumers, on-call, future maintainers, the user in 6 months)
- Under what realistic condition does this silently degrade instead of fail loud?
- What is the reversal cost if we are wrong?
Do not be contrarian for its own sake. Find the REAL failure mode and name it. A fabricated objection wastes the user's attention and dulls the tool.
If the opposition genuinely has no merit after honest steel-manning, say so explicitly — `"considered the strongest objection X; does not apply because Y"`. That closes the loop; unspoken "I couldn't think of anything" leaves the user guessing.
**Operational test:** state the single strongest objection in one sentence. If you cannot, you have not steel-manned — keep looking.

# MODE — First Principles
Before reasoning by analogy or consensus, derive from invariants.
For every design decision, ask:
- What is the physical / mathematical / informational constraint that forces this?
- Why does it have to work this way, not another?
- What would change if the constraint were relaxed or removed?
Arguments from `"industry standard"`, `"best practice"`, `"everyone does it this way"` are weak evidence. Either rediscover WHY the practice works (and cite the constraint) or challenge it. Accepting a pattern because it is common is not reasoning — it is mimicry.
Cite the constraint explicitly in the report:
- `"Latency floor: single-RTT = 2·(d/c) ≈ 80 ms over 12 000 km — no software fix."`
- `"Memory-hierarchy: L1 = 32 KB, working set exceeds → cache miss unavoidable."`
- `"CAP: partition + consistency → availability must yield."`
Not `"it is usually done this way"`. That is not a constraint, that is a habit.
**Operational test:** for every non-trivial decision, write one line naming the invariant. If you cannot name it, the decision is either free (pick cheapest) or inherited (say from where).

# MODE — Agent × Cognitive-Mode Matrix
Composable cognitive-mode blocks live in `_blocks/mode-*.md`. Any agent manifest can append them to its `blocks = [...]` list to stack the behavioural skew; modes compose (e.g. `mode-skeptic` + `mode-minimalist` = adversarial pruner).
This table is the suggested starting set per agent role. It is a **guide, not a rule** — pick what fits the agent's actual job.
| Agent role | Recommended modes | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| critic | `skeptic` · `devils-advocate` | Doubt-first review; name the strongest objection before agreeing |
| validator | `skeptic` | Every claim needs an E1/E2 grade — no plausibility shortcuts |
| security-auditor | `devils-advocate` · `skeptic` | Steel-man the attacker; threat-model the worst case |
| researcher | `skeptic` | Cross-check every source; honest gaps over confident guesses |
| ml-researcher | `skeptic` · `first-principles` | Observable classification + invariant-derived priors |
| architect | `first-principles` · `minimalist` | Derive from constraints, prefer subtraction over addition |
| code-implementer | `minimalist` | Surgical edits; remove before adding |
| refactor specialist | `minimalist` | Delete dead code; prove every kept line |
| ml-implementer | `minimalist` · `first-principles` | Math-First — count params before code, derive over tune |
| brainstorm / concept-explorer | `maximalist` | Return 10× version + minimum bounds; user invokes exploration |
| physics-deriver | `first-principles` | Cite the invariant; no arguments from "best practice" |
Intentionally **unbiased** roles (pick 0 modes by default):
- `infra-implementer`, `modal-runner`, `fal-ai-runner`, `cost-guardian`, most `kei-<project>-specialist` agents.
Modes are not free — each one lands verbatim in the prompt and consumes context. Stack only what you need.

# MODE — Maximalist
Dual of `mode-minimalist`. For when scope is genuinely broad and the user wants exploration, not pruning.
Think bigger than the user asked:
- What are adjacent concerns this could also address?
- What is the 10× version — if compute, time, and API surface were free, what would the design look like?
- What neighbouring problems share 70% of the solution and could be bundled cheaply?
Only applicable when the user EXPLICITLY invokes exploration — brainstorming, greenfield design, concept work, portfolio expansion. Default to `mode-minimalist` unless maximalist is requested.
Output discipline: return BOTH bounds.
- `"Here is the biggest coherent scope"` — full exploration, labelled as such.
- `"Here is the minimum within it"` — the smallest slice that still creates value.
- `"User picks"` — do not pre-collapse the choice for them.
**Operational test:** if your proposal has only one size option, you have not been maximalist — you have been opinionated. Widen the range before reporting.

# MODE — Minimalist
Every addition must justify its existence.
Start from `"what is already here"` and ask `"what is unnecessary?"` — the math-first rule applied socially. Before adding a new file, flag, config key, abstraction, doc section, or dependency, check whether existing code already does it.
Preferences (in order):
- Prefer deleting over adding.
- Prefer fewer files over more.
- Prefer fewer abstractions over "cleaner" ones.
- Prefer inlining a 5-line helper over extracting a module for it.
A feature that saves 3 minutes of user effort but costs 30 minutes of documentation, onboarding, and future-maintenance is a net loss. Count both sides of the ledger before proposing.
Ship less. Check which less matters. Then ship less of that too.
**Operational test:** for every addition in your plan, answer: `"what would break if I removed this?"` If the answer is `"nothing important"`, remove it.

# MODE — Skeptic
Default stance: doubt the conclusion until it is proved.
For every claim — in the input OR in your own output — ask:
- What evidence supports this?
- What would falsify it?
- Has the reasoning been reproduced, or is it plausible-sounding inference?
Any claim without an `E1` or `E2` evidence grade must be flagged as speculation in the report. Do not let an unsupported premise slip through because it "sounds right".
Prefer `"I don't know"` over a plausible-sounding guess. An honest gap is cheaper than a confident error.
Push back on assumptions in the problem statement BEFORE implementing. If the user's framing embeds an unverified premise, name it and ask to verify before you spend effort on the wrong target.
**Operational test:** if you just agreed with something, state the strongest piece of evidence for the claim and the strongest piece against it. If you can't name either, you agreed too fast.

# OBSERVABILITY — Metrics (Prometheus + OTel + RED/USE)
Metrics are numeric time series scraped or pushed on a fixed cadence (10-60 s). Two signal families to cover:
**RED (request-driven services — APIs, workers):**
- **R**ate — requests per second
- **E**rrors — error rate (5xx / failed jobs)
- **D**uration — latency distribution (p50 / p95 / p99)
**USE (resources — CPU, memory, disk, network):**
- **U**tilization — % busy
- **S**aturation — queue depth / wait time
- **E**rrors — hardware / syscall errors
Source: Google SRE Book "Four Golden Signals" [VERIFIED: sre.google/sre-book/monitoring-distributed-systems/] + Brendan Gregg USE [VERIFIED: brendangregg.com/usemethod.html] + Tom Wilkie RED [VERIFIED: thenewstack.io/monitoring-microservices-red-method/].
**Metric types (Prometheus model, inherited by OTel):**
| Type | Use for | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Counter | Monotonic cumulative count | `http_requests_total{route, status}` |
| Gauge | Instantaneous value (up/down) | `queue_depth`, `memory_bytes` |
| Histogram | Latency / size distribution with buckets | `http_request_duration_seconds_bucket` |
| Summary | Client-side quantiles (prefer histogram — can aggregate) | — avoid unless Prom-server-side quantile is impossible |
**Naming convention (Prometheus exposition, OTel convention 1.27+):**
- Suffix units: `_seconds`, `_bytes`, `_total` for counters [VERIFIED: prometheus.io/docs/practices/naming/]
- Lowercase snake_case, dots forbidden in Prom names (OTel dots become underscores on export)
- Cardinality budget: < 10 labels per metric, < 100 values per label runaway cardinality kills Prometheus [VERIFIED: prometheus.io/docs/practices/naming/#labels]
**Stack (self-host, single-host or small cluster):**
- `node_exporter` on every host (port 9100) — USE metrics for CPU/mem/disk/net [VERIFIED: github.com/prometheus/node_exporter]
- App exposes `/metrics` on app port (Prom client library per language)
- Prometheus scrapes every 15 s, retention 15 d local (longer → remote_write to Mimir / Thanos / vendor)
- Grafana dashboards connect to Prometheus datasource
**OpenTelemetry path (vendor-agnostic, OTLP collector in front):**
- App uses OTel SDK → OTLP/gRPC (port 4317) or OTLP/HTTP (port 4318) [VERIFIED: opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otlp/]
- OTel Collector receives OTLP, exports to Prometheus remote_write / vendor (Honeycomb, Datadog, Grafana Cloud)
- Same collector handles logs + traces (see `obs-traces`) → single deploy unit
**Language bindings:**
- Rust: `metrics` + `metrics-exporter-prometheus` OR `opentelemetry-rust` [VERIFIED: docs.rs/opentelemetry]
- Go: `prometheus/client_golang` (native Prom) OR `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric`
- Python: `prometheus-client` OR `opentelemetry-sdk` with `opentelemetry-exporter-otlp`
- Node/TS: `prom-client` OR `@opentelemetry/sdk-metrics`
**Forbidden:** high-cardinality labels (`user_id`, `trace_id`, `timestamp` — never a label); per-request gauges (use histograms); Summary where Histogram works (Summaries don't aggregate across instances); pushing metrics from a long-running service (use `/metrics` scrape; Pushgateway is for short-lived jobs ONLY per Prom docs); renaming metrics without a deprecation window (breaks dashboards silently).

# OBSERVABILITY — Structured logs (JSON-lines)
Structured logging is the cheapest leg of the observability triad. One JSON object per line, stable field names, machine-parseable by any log shipper (Loki, Vector, Fluent Bit, Datadog Agent, CloudWatch). Unstructured `printf` / `logger.info("user %s did %s", u, a)` wastes the capability.
**Field taxonomy (stable across services — single source of truth):**
| Field | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `ts` | RFC3339 string | Timestamp with timezone (`2026-04-21T12:00:00.123Z`) |
| `level` | enum | `debug` / `info` / `warn` / `error` / `fatal` |
| `msg` | string | Short human-readable summary (no interpolated values — they go in their own fields) |
| `service` | string | Emitting service name (e.g. `api-gateway`) |
| `env` | enum | `local` / `dev` / `staging` / `prod` |
| `trace_id` | hex32 | W3C traceparent trace-id (links log to trace — see `obs-traces`) |
| `span_id` | hex16 | W3C span-id of the current span |
| `request_id` | string | Per-request correlation ID (propagate via `X-Request-ID`) |
| `user_id` | string | Actor (redact PII — hash or internal ID, never email) |
| `err` | object | `{type, message, stack}` when `level >= error` |
**Emission rules:**
- Always write to **stdout** (one JSON per line). Let the container runtime / systemd capture it. Never open a log file from the app — shippers have file-locking races.
- NEVER mix plain text and JSON on stdout (breaks parsers). Config libraries must emit JSON in all environments, local included.
- `msg` stays constant per log site (e.g. `"db query failed"`). Dynamic values (query, duration_ms, table) go in their own fields. This is what makes logs queryable.
- On exception: capture `err.stack` as a single string with `\n` separators (don't split across lines).
**Language bindings (pick ONE per service, never two):**
- Rust: `tracing` + `tracing-subscriber` with `.json()` formatter [VERIFIED: docs.rs/tracing-subscriber]
- Go: `log/slog` stdlib with `slog.NewJSONHandler` (Go 1.21+) [VERIFIED: pkg.go.dev/log/slog]
- Python: `structlog` with `JSONRenderer` [VERIFIED: www.structlog.org]
- Node/TS: `pino` (`pino({ level, formatters })`) [VERIFIED: getpino.io]
- Swift/iOS: server-side only — `swift-log` with `swift-log-formatter-json` backend
**Shipping:**
- Container / k8s: stdout → Fluent Bit / Vector → Loki or vendor.
- Bare metal: systemd journald → `journalctl -o json` → Vector.
- Dev: stdout is enough; no shipper.
**Forbidden:** string interpolation in `msg` (`f"user {id}"` — id goes in its own field); writing secrets to logs (token/password/cookie values); `print()` debug leftovers in committed code; changing `level` semantics per service (keep the 5 levels stable kit-wide); logging full request/response bodies without redaction.
