 # Coding preferences
 - Always prefer simple solution
-- Follow the Single Responsibility Principle — a class or method should have one reason to change:
-  - If a method is hard to name precisely from the caller's perspective, its responsibility is misplaced. Vague names like "candidate", "data", or "item" are a signal — fix the design, not just the name.
-  - Logic specific to a platform, variant, or environment belongs in the class that owns that variant, not in the general coordinator. Passing a dependency through is preferable to leaking variant-specific concepts into shared code.
-  - Only use static methods for pure, self-contained computations (constants, simple math, stateless lookups). If a static method involves resource access, side effects, OS interaction, or logic that varies across subclasses or environments — use an instance method or factory class instead. Before implementing a non-trivial static method, ask the user.
 - Generate concise code
-- Never suppress errors silently — no `2>/dev/null`, empty `catch` blocks, bare `except: pass`, or discarded error returns. These hide the information you need most when something breaks. If an error is truly safe to ignore, log it or comment why.
+- Do not put comments in the code
-- Do not put comments in the code, except in tests: every test must use the Arrange / Act / Assert pattern with language-appropriate comment syntax (`# Arrange` for Python, `// Arrange` for C#/Rust/JS/TS). Omit any section that is not needed (e.g. if there is no setup, skip Arrange; if act and assert are the same line, keep only Assert)
 - Do not put logs unless it is an exception, or was asked specifically
 - Do not put code annotations unless it was asked specifically 
 - Write code that takes into account the different environments: development, production
 - You are careful to make changes that are requested or you are confident the changes are well understood and related to the change being requested
 - Mocking data is needed only for tests, never mock data for dev or prod env
-- Make test environment (files, db and so on) as close as possible to the production environment
 - When you add new libraries or dependencies make sure you are using the same version of it as other parts of the code
-- When writing code that calls a library API, verify the API actually exists in the pinned version. Check the library's changelog or migration guide for breaking changes between major versions. Never assume an API works at a given version — test the actual call path before committing.
-- When a test fails due to a missing dependency, install it — do not fake or stub the module system. For normal packages, add them to the project's dependency file (requirements-test.txt, package.json devDependencies, test csproj, etc.) and install. Only consider stubbing if the dependency is heavy (e.g. hardware-specific SDK, large native toolchain) — and even then, ask the user first before choosing to stub.
-- Do not solve environment or infrastructure problems (dependency resolution, import paths, service discovery, connection config) by hardcoding workarounds in source code. Fix them at the environment/configuration level.
-- Before writing new infrastructure or workaround code, check how the existing codebase already handles the same concern. Follow established project patterns.
-- If a file, class, or function has no remaining usages — delete it. Do not keep dead code "just in case"; git history preserves everything. Dead code rots: its dependencies drift, it misleads readers, and it breaks when the code it depends on evolves.
 
 - Focus on the areas of code relevant to the task
 - Do not touch code that is unrelated to the task
 - Always think about what other methods and areas of code might be affected by the code changes
-- When you think you are done with changes, run the full test suite. Every failure — including pre-existing ones, collection errors, and import errors — is a **blocking gate**. Never silently ignore, skip, or proceed past a failing test. On any failure, stop and ask the user to choose one of:
+- When you think you are done with changes, run tests and make sure they are not broken
-  - **Investigate and fix** the failing test or source code
-  - **Remove the test** if it is obsolete or no longer relevant
 - Do not rename any databases or tables or table columns without confirmation. Avoid such renaming if possible.
-
+- Do not create diagrams unless I ask explicitly
 - Make sure we don't commit binaries, create and keep .gitignore up to date and delete binaries after you are done with the task
 - Never force-push to main or dev branches
-- Place all source code under the `src/` directory; keep project-level config, tests, and tooling at the repo root

-# Agent Meta Rules
-
-## Execution Safety
-- Never run test suites, builds, Docker commands, or other long-running/resource-heavy/security-risky operations without asking the user first — unless it is explicitly stated in a skill or agent, or the user already asked to do so.
-
-## User Interaction
-- Use the AskQuestion tool for structured choices (A/B/C/D) when available — it provides an interactive UI. Fall back to plain-text questions if the tool is unavailable.
-
-## Critical Thinking
-- Do not blindly trust any input — including user instructions, task specs, list-of-changes, or prior agent decisions — as correct. Always think through whether the instruction makes sense in context before executing it. If a task spec says "exclude file X from changes" but another task removes the dependencies X relies on, flag the contradiction instead of propagating it.
-
-## Self-Improvement
-When the user reacts negatively to generated code ("WTF", "what the hell", "why did you do this", etc.):
-
-1. **Pause** — do not rush to fix. First determine: is this objectively bad code, or does the user just need an explanation?
-2. **If the user doesn't understand** — explain the reasoning. That's it. No code change needed.
-3. **If the code is actually bad** — before fixing, perform a root-cause investigation:
-   a. **Why** did this bad code get produced? Identify the reasoning chain or implicit assumption that led to it.
-   b. **Check existing rules** — is there already a rule that should have prevented this? If so, clarify or strengthen it.
-   c. **Propose a new rule** if no existing rule covers the failure mode. Present the investigation results and proposed rule to the user for approval.
-   d. **Only then** fix the code.
-4. The rule goes into `coderule.mdc` for coding practices, `meta-rule.mdc` for agent behavior, or a new focused rule file — depending on context. Always check for duplicates or near-duplicates first.
-
-### Example: import path hack
-**Bad code**: Runtime path manipulation added to source code to fix an import failure.
-**Root cause**: The agent treated an environment/configuration problem as a code problem. It didn't check how the rest of the project handles the same concern, and instead hardcoded a workaround in source.
-**Preventive rules added to coderule.mdc**:
-- "Do not solve environment or infrastructure problems by hardcoding workarounds in source code. Fix them at the environment/configuration level."
-- "Before writing new infrastructure or workaround code, check how the existing codebase already handles the same concern. Follow established project patterns."
-
-## Debugging Over Contemplation
-When the root cause of a bug is not clear after ~5 minutes of reasoning, analysis, and assumption-making — **stop speculating and add debugging logs**. Observe actual runtime behavior before forming another theory. The pattern to follow:
-
-1. Identify the last known-good boundary (e.g., "request enters handler") and the known-bad result (e.g., "callback never fires").
-2. Add targeted `print(..., flush=True)` or log statements at each intermediate step to narrow the gap.
-3. Read the output. Let evidence drive the next step — not inference chains built on unverified assumptions.
-
-Prolonged mental contemplation without evidence is a time sink. A 15-minute instrumented run beats 45 minutes of "could it be X? but then Y... unless Z..." reasoning.
-
-## Long Investigation Retrospective
-When a problem takes significantly longer than expected (>30 minutes), perform a post-mortem before closing out:
-
-1. **Identify the bottleneck**: Was the delay caused by assumptions that turned out wrong? Missing visibility into runtime state? Incorrect mental model of a framework or language boundary?
-2. **Extract the general lesson**: What category of mistake was this? (e.g., "Python cannot call Cython `cdef` methods", "engine errors silently swallowed", "wrong layer to fix the problem")
-3. **Propose a preventive rule**: Formulate it as a short, actionable statement. Present it to the user for approval.
-4. **Write it down**: Add the approved rule to the appropriate `.mdc` file so it applies to all future sessions.

-- In `cdef class` methods, prefer `cdef` over `cpdef` unless the method must be callable from Python. `cdef` = C-only (fastest), `cpdef` = C + Python, `def` = Python-only. Check all call sites before choosing.
-- **Python cannot call `cdef` methods.** If a `.py` file needs to call a `cdef` method on a Cython object, there are exactly two options: (a) convert the calling file to `.pyx`, `cimport` the class, and use a typed parameter so Cython dispatches the call at the C level; or (b) change the method to `cpdef` if it genuinely needs to be callable from both Python and Cython. Never leave a bare `except Exception: pass` around such a call — it will silently swallow the `AttributeError` and make the failure invisible for a very long time.
-- When converting a `.py` file to `.pyx` to gain access to `cdef` methods: add the new extension to `setup.py`, add a `cimport` of the relevant `.pxd`, type the parameter(s) that carry the Cython object, and delete the old `.py` file. This ensures the cross-language call is resolved at compile time, not at runtime.

-## Debug / Error Recovery Protocol
-
-When the implement skill's auto-fix loop fails (code review FAIL after 2 auto-fix attempts) or an implementer subagent reports a blocker, the user is asked to intervene. This protocol guides the recovery process.
-
-### Structured Debugging Workflow
-
-When escalated to the user after implementation failure:
-
-1. **Classify the failure** — determine the category:
-   - **Missing dependency**: a package, service, or module the task needs but isn't available
-   - **Logic error**: code runs but produces wrong results (assertion failures, incorrect output)
-   - **Integration mismatch**: interfaces between components don't align (type errors, missing methods, wrong signatures)
-   - **Environment issue**: Docker, database, network, or configuration problem
-   - **Spec ambiguity**: the task spec is unclear or contradictory
-
-2. **Reproduce** — isolate the failing behavior:
-   - Run the specific failing test(s) in isolation
-   - Check whether the failure is deterministic or intermittent
-   - Capture the exact error message, stack trace, and relevant file:line
-
-3. **Narrow scope** — focus on the minimal reproduction:
-   - For logic errors: trace the data flow from input to the point of failure
-   - For integration mismatches: compare the caller's expectations against the callee's actual interface
-   - For environment issues: verify Docker services are running, DB is accessible, env vars are set
-
-4. **Fix and verify** — apply the fix and confirm:
-   - Make the minimal change that fixes the root cause
-   - Re-run the failing test(s) to confirm the fix
-   - Run the full test suite to check for regressions
-   - If the fix changes a shared interface, check all consumers
-
-5. **Report** — update the batch report with:
-   - Root cause category
-   - Fix applied (file:line, description)
-   - Tests that now pass
-
-### Common Recovery Patterns
-
-| Failure Pattern | Typical Root Cause | Recovery Action |
-|----------------|-------------------|----------------|
-| ImportError / ModuleNotFoundError | Missing dependency or wrong path | Install dependency or fix import path |
-| TypeError on method call | Interface mismatch between tasks | Align caller with callee's actual signature |
-| AssertionError in test | Logic bug or wrong expected value | Fix logic or update test expectations |
-| ConnectionRefused | Service not running | Start Docker services, check docker-compose |
-| Timeout | Blocking I/O or infinite loop | Add timeout, fix blocking call |
-| FileNotFoundError | Hardcoded path or missing fixture | Make path configurable, add fixture |
-
-### Escalation

+## Workflow
+
+### Step 0: Codebase Discovery
+
+**Role**: Code analyst
+**Goal**: Build a complete map of the codebase (or targeted subtree) before analyzing any code.
+
+**Focus Area scoping**: if FOCUS_DIR is set, limit the scan to that directory subtree. Still identify transitive dependencies outside FOCUS_DIR (modules that FOCUS_DIR imports) and include them in the processing order, but skip modules that are neither inside FOCUS_DIR nor dependencies of it.
+
+Scan and catalog:
+
+1. Directory tree (ignore `node_modules`, `.git`, `__pycache__`, `bin/`, `obj/`, build artifacts)
+2. Language detection from file extensions and config files
+3. Package manifests: `package.json`, `requirements.txt`, `pyproject.toml`, `*.csproj`, `Cargo.toml`, `go.mod`
+4. Config files: `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`, `.env.example`, CI/CD configs (`.github/workflows/`, `.gitlab-ci.yml`, `azure-pipelines.yml`)
+5. Entry points: `main.*`, `app.*`, `index.*`, `Program.*`, startup scripts
+6. Test structure: test directories, test frameworks, test runner configs
+7. Existing documentation: README, `docs/`, wiki references, inline doc coverage
+8. **Dependency graph**: build a module-level dependency graph by analyzing imports/references. Identify:
+   - Leaf modules (no internal dependencies)
+   - Entry points (no internal dependents)
+   - Cycles (mark for grouped analysis)
+   - Topological processing order
+   - If FOCUS_DIR: mark which modules are in-scope vs dependency-only
+
+**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/00_discovery.md` containing:
+- Directory tree (concise, relevant directories only)
+- Tech stack summary table (language, framework, database, infra)
+- Dependency graph (textual list + Mermaid diagram)
+- Topological processing order
+- Entry points and leaf modules
+
+**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/state.json` with initial state:
+```json
+{
+  "current_step": "module-analysis",
+  "completed_steps": ["discovery"],
+  "focus_dir": null,
+  "modules_total": 0,
+  "modules_documented": [],
+  "modules_remaining": [],
+  "module_batch": 0,
+  "components_written": [],
+  "last_updated": ""
+}
+```
+
+Set `focus_dir` to the FOCUS_DIR path if in Focus Area mode, or `null` for Full mode.
+
+---
+
+### Step 1: Module-Level Documentation
+
+**Role**: Code analyst
+**Goal**: Document every identified module individually, processing in topological order (leaves first).
+
+**Batched processing**: process modules in batches of ~5 (sorted by topological order). After each batch: save all module docs, update `state.json`, present a progress summary. Between batches, evaluate whether to suggest a session break.
+
+For each module in topological order:
+
+1. **Read**: read the module's source code. Assess complexity and what context is needed.
+2. **Gather context**: collect already-written docs of this module's dependencies (available because of bottom-up order). Note external library usage.
+3. **Write module doc** with these sections:
+   - **Purpose**: one-sentence responsibility
+   - **Public interface**: exported functions/classes/methods with signatures, input/output types
+   - **Internal logic**: key algorithms, patterns, non-obvious behavior
+   - **Dependencies**: what it imports internally and why
+   - **Consumers**: what uses this module (from the dependency graph)
+   - **Data models**: entities/types defined in this module
+   - **Configuration**: env vars, config keys consumed
+   - **External integrations**: HTTP calls, DB queries, queue operations, file I/O
+   - **Security**: auth checks, encryption, input validation, secrets access
+   - **Tests**: what tests exist for this module, what they cover
+4. **Verify**: cross-check that every entity referenced in the doc exists in the codebase. Flag uncertainties.
+
+**Cycle handling**: modules in a dependency cycle are analyzed together as a group, producing a single combined doc.
+
+**Large modules**: if a module exceeds comfortable analysis size, split into logical sub-sections and analyze each part, then combine.
+
+**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/modules/[module_name].md` for each module.
+**State**: update `state.json` after each module completes (move from `modules_remaining` to `modules_documented`). Increment `module_batch` after each batch of ~5.
+
+**Session break heuristic**: after each batch, if more than 10 modules remain AND 2+ batches have already completed in this session, suggest a session break:
+
+```
+══════════════════════════════════════
+ SESSION BREAK SUGGESTED
+══════════════════════════════════════
+ Modules documented: [X] of [Y]
+ Batches completed this session: [N]
+══════════════════════════════════════
+ A) Continue in this conversation
+ B) Save and continue in a fresh conversation (recommended)
+══════════════════════════════════════
+ Recommendation: B — fresh context improves
+ analysis quality for remaining modules
+══════════════════════════════════════
+```
+
+Re-entry is seamless: `state.json` tracks exactly which modules are done.
+
+---
+
+### Step 2: Component Assembly
+
+**Role**: Software architect
+**Goal**: Group related modules into logical components and produce component specs.
+
+1. Analyze module docs from Step 1 to identify natural groupings:
+   - By directory structure (most common)
+   - By shared data models or common purpose
+   - By dependency clusters (tightly coupled modules)
+2. For each identified component, synthesize its module docs into a single component specification using `templates/component-spec.md` as structure:
+   - High-level overview: purpose, pattern, upstream/downstream
+   - Internal interfaces: method signatures, DTOs (from actual module code)
+   - External API specification (if the component exposes HTTP/gRPC endpoints)
+   - Data access patterns: queries, caching, storage estimates
+   - Implementation details: algorithmic complexity, state management, key libraries
+   - Extensions and helpers: shared utilities needed
+   - Caveats and edge cases: limitations, race conditions, bottlenecks
+   - Dependency graph: implementation order relative to other components
+   - Logging strategy
+3. Identify common helpers shared across multiple components -> document in `common-helpers/`
+4. Generate component relationship diagram (Mermaid)
+
+**Self-verification**:
+- [ ] Every module from Step 1 is covered by exactly one component
+- [ ] No component has overlapping responsibility with another
+- [ ] Inter-component interfaces are explicit (who calls whom, with what)
+- [ ] Component dependency graph has no circular dependencies
+
+**Save**:
+- `DOCUMENT_DIR/components/[##]_[name]/description.md` per component
+- `DOCUMENT_DIR/common-helpers/[##]_helper_[name].md` per shared helper
+- `DOCUMENT_DIR/diagrams/components.md` (Mermaid component diagram)
+
+**BLOCKING**: Present component list with one-line summaries to user. Do NOT proceed until user confirms the component breakdown is correct.
+
+---
+
+### Step 3: System-Level Synthesis
+
+**Role**: Software architect
+**Goal**: From component docs, synthesize system-level documents.
+
+All documents here are derived from component docs (Step 2) + module docs (Step 1). No new code reading should be needed. If it is, that indicates a gap in Steps 1-2 — go back and fill it.
+
+#### 3a. Architecture
+
+Using `templates/architecture.md` as structure:
+
+- System context and boundaries from entry points and external integrations
+- Tech stack table from discovery (Step 0) + component specs
+- Deployment model from Dockerfiles, CI configs, environment strategies
+- Data model overview from per-component data access sections
+- Integration points from inter-component interfaces
+- NFRs from test thresholds, config limits, health checks
+- Security architecture from per-module security observations
+- Key ADRs inferred from technology choices and patterns
+
+**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/architecture.md`
+
+#### 3b. System Flows
+
+Using `templates/system-flows.md` as structure:
+
+- Trace main flows through the component interaction graph
+- Entry point -> component chain -> output for each major flow
+- Mermaid sequence diagrams and flowcharts
+- Error scenarios from exception handling patterns
+- Data flow tables per flow
+
+**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/system-flows.md` and `DOCUMENT_DIR/diagrams/flows/flow_[name].md`
+
+#### 3c. Data Model
+
+- Consolidate all data models from module docs
+- Entity-relationship diagram (Mermaid ERD)
+- Migration strategy (if ORM/migration tooling detected)
+- Seed data observations
+- Backward compatibility approach (if versioning found)
+
+**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/data_model.md`
+
+#### 3d. Deployment (if Dockerfile/CI configs exist)
+
+- Containerization summary
+- CI/CD pipeline structure
+- Environment strategy (dev, staging, production)
+- Observability (logging patterns, metrics, health checks found in code)
+
+**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/deployment/` (containerization.md, ci_cd_pipeline.md, environment_strategy.md, observability.md — only files for which sufficient code evidence exists)
+
+---
+
+### Step 4: Verification Pass
+
+**Role**: Quality verifier
+**Goal**: Compare every generated document against actual code. Fix hallucinations, fill gaps, correct inaccuracies.
+
+For each document generated in Steps 1-3:
+
+1. **Entity verification**: extract all code entities (class names, function names, module names, endpoints) mentioned in the doc. Cross-reference each against the actual codebase. Flag any that don't exist.
+2. **Interface accuracy**: for every method signature, DTO, or API endpoint in component specs, verify it matches actual code.
+3. **Flow correctness**: for each system flow diagram, trace the actual code path and verify the sequence matches.
+4. **Completeness check**: are there modules or components discovered in Step 0 that aren't covered by any document? Flag gaps.
+5. **Consistency check**: do component docs agree with architecture doc? Do flow diagrams match component interfaces?
+
+Apply corrections inline to the documents that need them.
+
+**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/04_verification_log.md` with:
+- Total entities verified vs flagged
+- Corrections applied (which document, what changed)
+- Remaining gaps or uncertainties
+- Completeness score (modules covered / total modules)
+
+**BLOCKING**: Present verification summary to user. Do NOT proceed until user confirms corrections are acceptable or requests additional fixes.
+
+**Session boundary**: After verification is confirmed, suggest a session break before proceeding to the synthesis steps (5–7). These steps produce different artifact types and benefit from fresh context:
+
+```
+══════════════════════════════════════
+ VERIFICATION COMPLETE — session break?
+══════════════════════════════════════
+ Steps 0–4 (analysis + verification) are done.
+ Steps 5–7 (solution + problem extraction + report)
+ can run in a fresh conversation.
+══════════════════════════════════════
+ A) Continue in this conversation
+ B) Save and continue in a new conversation (recommended)
+══════════════════════════════════════
+```
+
+If **Focus Area mode**: Steps 5–7 are skipped (they require full codebase coverage). Present a summary of modules and components documented for this area. The user can run `/document` again for another area, or run without FOCUS_DIR once all areas are covered to produce the full synthesis.
+
+---
+
+### Step 5: Solution Extraction (Retrospective)
+
+**Role**: Software architect
+**Goal**: From all verified technical documentation, retrospectively create `solution.md` — the same artifact the research skill produces. This makes downstream skills (`plan`, `deploy`, `decompose`) compatible with the documented codebase.
+
+Synthesize from architecture (Step 3) + component specs (Step 2) + system flows (Step 3) + verification findings (Step 4):
+
+1. **Product Solution Description**: what the system is, brief component interaction diagram (Mermaid)
+2. **Architecture**: the architecture that is implemented, with per-component solution tables:
+
+| Solution | Tools | Advantages | Limitations | Requirements | Security | Cost | Fit |
+|----------|-------|-----------|-------------|-------------|----------|------|-----|
+| [actual implementation] | [libs/platforms used] | [observed strengths] | [observed limitations] | [requirements met] | [security approach] | [cost indicators] | [fitness assessment] |
+
+3. **Testing Strategy**: summarize integration/functional tests and non-functional tests found in the codebase
+4. **References**: links to key config files, Dockerfiles, CI configs that evidence the solution choices
+
+**Save**: `SOLUTION_DIR/solution.md` (`_docs/01_solution/solution.md`)
+
+---
+
+### Step 6: Problem Extraction (Retrospective)
+
+**Role**: Business analyst
+**Goal**: From all verified technical docs, retrospectively derive the high-level problem definition — producing the same documents the `problem` skill creates through interview.
+
+This is the inverse of normal workflow: instead of problem -> solution -> code, we go code -> technical docs -> problem understanding.
+
+#### 6a. `problem.md`
+
+- Synthesize from architecture overview + component purposes + system flows
+- What is this system? What problem does it solve? Who are the users? How does it work at a high level?
+- Cross-reference with README if one exists
+- Free-form text, concise, readable by someone unfamiliar with the project
+
+#### 6b. `restrictions.md`
+
+- Extract from: tech stack choices, Dockerfile specs (OS, base images), CI configs (platform constraints), dependency versions, environment configs
+- Categorize with headers: Hardware, Software, Environment, Operational
+- Each restriction should be specific and testable
+
+#### 6c. `acceptance_criteria.md`
+
+- Derive from: test assertions (expected values, thresholds), performance configs (timeouts, rate limits, batch sizes), health check endpoints, validation rules in code
+- Categorize with headers by domain
+- Every criterion must have a measurable value — if only implied, note the source
+
+#### 6d. `input_data/`
+
+- Document data schemas found (DB schemas, API request/response types, config file formats)
+- Create `data_parameters.md` describing what data the system consumes, formats, volumes, update patterns
+
+#### 6e. `security_approach.md` (only if security code found)
+
+- Authentication mechanisms, authorization patterns, encryption, secrets handling, CORS, rate limiting, input sanitization — all from code observations
+- If no security-relevant code found, skip this file
+
+**Save**: all files to `PROBLEM_DIR/` (`_docs/00_problem/`)
+
+**BLOCKING**: Present all problem documents to user. These are the most abstracted and therefore most prone to interpretation error. Do NOT proceed until user confirms or requests corrections.
+
+---
+
+### Step 7: Final Report
+
+**Role**: Technical writer
+**Goal**: Produce `FINAL_report.md` integrating all generated documentation.
+
+Using `templates/final-report.md` as structure:
+
+- Executive summary from architecture + problem docs
+- Problem statement (transformed from problem.md, not copy-pasted)
+- Architecture overview with tech stack one-liner
+- Component summary table (number, name, purpose, dependencies)
+- System flows summary table
+- Risk observations from verification log (Step 4)
+- Open questions (uncertainties flagged during analysis)
+- Artifact index listing all generated documents with paths
+
+**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/FINAL_report.md`
+
+**State**: update `state.json` with `current_step: "complete"`.

+```
+
+### Resumability
+
+Maintain `DOCUMENT_DIR/state.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "current_step": "module-analysis",
+  "completed_steps": ["discovery"],
+  "focus_dir": null,
+  "modules_total": 12,
+  "modules_documented": ["utils/helpers", "models/user"],
+  "modules_remaining": ["services/auth", "api/endpoints"],
+  "module_batch": 1,
+  "components_written": [],
+  "last_updated": "2026-03-21T14:00:00Z"
+}
+```
+
+Update after each module/component completes. If interrupted, resume from next undocumented module.
+
+When resuming:
+1. Read `state.json`
+2. Cross-check against actual files in DOCUMENT_DIR (trust files over state if they disagree)
+3. Continue from the next incomplete item
+4. Inform user which steps are being skipped
+
+### Save Principles
+
+1. **Save immediately**: write each module doc as soon as analysis completes
+2. **Incremental context**: each subsequent module uses already-written docs as context
+3. **Preserve intermediates**: keep all module docs even after synthesis into component docs
+4. **Enable recovery**: state file tracks exact progress for resume
+
+## Escalation Rules
+
+| Situation | Action |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Minified/obfuscated code detected | WARN user, skip module, note in verification log |
+| Module too large for context window | Split into sub-sections, analyze parts separately, combine |
+| Cycle in dependency graph | Group cycled modules, analyze together as one doc |
+| Generated code (protobuf, swagger-gen) | Note as generated, document the source spec instead |
+| No tests found in codebase | Note gap in acceptance_criteria.md, derive AC from validation rules and config limits only |
+| Contradictions between code and README | Flag in verification log, ASK user |
+| Binary files or non-code assets | Skip, note in discovery |
+| `_docs/` already exists | ASK user: overwrite, merge, or use `_docs_generated/` |
+| Code intent is ambiguous | ASK user, do not guess |
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+- **Top-down guessing**: never infer architecture before documenting modules. Build up, don't assume down.
+- **Hallucinating entities**: always verify that referenced classes/functions/endpoints actually exist in code.
+- **Skipping modules**: every source module must appear in exactly one module doc and one component.
+- **Monolithic analysis**: don't try to analyze the entire codebase in one pass. Module by module, in order.
+- **Inventing restrictions**: only document constraints actually evidenced in code, configs, or Dockerfiles.
+- **Vague acceptance criteria**: "should be fast" is not a criterion. Extract actual numeric thresholds from code.
+- **Writing code**: this skill produces documents, never implementation code.

-# Document Skill — Full / Focus Area / Resume Workflow
-
-Covers three related modes that share the same 8-step pipeline:
-
-- **Full**: entire codebase, no prior state
-- **Focus Area**: scoped to a directory subtree + transitive dependencies
-- **Resume**: continue from `state.json` checkpoint
-
-## Prerequisite Checks
-
-1. If `_docs/` already exists and contains files AND mode is **Full**, ASK user: **overwrite, merge, or write to `_docs_generated/` instead?**
-2. Create DOCUMENT_DIR, SOLUTION_DIR, and PROBLEM_DIR if they don't exist
-3. If DOCUMENT_DIR contains a `state.json`, offer to **resume from last checkpoint or start fresh**
-4. If FOCUS_DIR is set, verify the directory exists and contains source files — **STOP if missing**
-
-## Progress Tracking
-
-Create a TodoWrite with all steps (0 through 7). Update status as each step completes.
-
-## Steps
-
-### Step 0: Codebase Discovery
-
-**Role**: Code analyst
-**Goal**: Build a complete map of the codebase (or targeted subtree) before analyzing any code.
-
-**Focus Area scoping**: if FOCUS_DIR is set, limit the scan to that directory subtree. Still identify transitive dependencies outside FOCUS_DIR (modules that FOCUS_DIR imports) and include them in the processing order, but skip modules that are neither inside FOCUS_DIR nor dependencies of it.
-
-Scan and catalog:
-
-1. Directory tree (ignore `node_modules`, `.git`, `__pycache__`, `bin/`, `obj/`, build artifacts)
-2. Language detection from file extensions and config files
-3. Package manifests: `package.json`, `requirements.txt`, `pyproject.toml`, `*.csproj`, `Cargo.toml`, `go.mod`
-4. Config files: `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`, `.env.example`, CI/CD configs (`.github/workflows/`, `.gitlab-ci.yml`, `azure-pipelines.yml`)
-5. Entry points: `main.*`, `app.*`, `index.*`, `Program.*`, startup scripts
-6. Test structure: test directories, test frameworks, test runner configs
-7. Existing documentation: README, `docs/`, wiki references, inline doc coverage
-8. **Dependency graph**: build a module-level dependency graph by analyzing imports/references. Identify:
-   - Leaf modules (no internal dependencies)
-   - Entry points (no internal dependents)
-   - Cycles (mark for grouped analysis)
-   - Topological processing order
-   - If FOCUS_DIR: mark which modules are in-scope vs dependency-only
-
-**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/00_discovery.md` containing:
-- Directory tree (concise, relevant directories only)
-- Tech stack summary table (language, framework, database, infra)
-- Dependency graph (textual list + Mermaid diagram)
-- Topological processing order
-- Entry points and leaf modules
-
-**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/state.json` with initial state (see `references/artifacts.md` for format).
-
----
-
-### Step 1: Module-Level Documentation
-
-**Role**: Code analyst
-**Goal**: Document every identified module individually, processing in topological order (leaves first).
-
-**Batched processing**: process modules in batches of ~5 (sorted by topological order). After each batch: save all module docs, update `state.json`, present a progress summary. Between batches, evaluate whether to suggest a session break.
-
-For each module in topological order:
-
-1. **Read**: read the module's source code. Assess complexity and what context is needed.
-2. **Gather context**: collect already-written docs of this module's dependencies (available because of bottom-up order). Note external library usage.
-3. **Write module doc** with these sections:
-   - **Purpose**: one-sentence responsibility
-   - **Public interface**: exported functions/classes/methods with signatures, input/output types
-   - **Internal logic**: key algorithms, patterns, non-obvious behavior
-   - **Dependencies**: what it imports internally and why
-   - **Consumers**: what uses this module (from the dependency graph)
-   - **Data models**: entities/types defined in this module
-   - **Configuration**: env vars, config keys consumed
-   - **External integrations**: HTTP calls, DB queries, queue operations, file I/O
-   - **Security**: auth checks, encryption, input validation, secrets access
-   - **Tests**: what tests exist for this module, what they cover
-4. **Verify**: cross-check that every entity referenced in the doc exists in the codebase. Flag uncertainties.
-
-**Cycle handling**: modules in a dependency cycle are analyzed together as a group, producing a single combined doc.
-
-**Large modules**: if a module exceeds comfortable analysis size, split into logical sub-sections and analyze each part, then combine.
-
-**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/modules/[module_name].md` for each module.
-**State**: update `state.json` after each module completes (move from `modules_remaining` to `modules_documented`). Increment `module_batch` after each batch of ~5.
-
-**Session break heuristic**: after each batch, if more than 10 modules remain AND 2+ batches have already completed in this session, suggest a session break:
-
-```
-══════════════════════════════════════
- SESSION BREAK SUGGESTED
-══════════════════════════════════════
- Modules documented: [X] of [Y]
- Batches completed this session: [N]
-══════════════════════════════════════
- A) Continue in this conversation
- B) Save and continue in a fresh conversation (recommended)
-══════════════════════════════════════
- Recommendation: B — fresh context improves
- analysis quality for remaining modules
-══════════════════════════════════════
-```
-
-Re-entry is seamless: `state.json` tracks exactly which modules are done.
-
----
-
-### Step 2: Component Assembly
-
-**Role**: Software architect
-**Goal**: Group related modules into logical components and produce component specs.
-
-1. Analyze module docs from Step 1 to identify natural groupings:
-   - By directory structure (most common)
-   - By shared data models or common purpose
-   - By dependency clusters (tightly coupled modules)
-2. For each identified component, synthesize its module docs into a single component specification using `.cursor/skills/plan/templates/component-spec.md` as structure:
-   - High-level overview: purpose, pattern, upstream/downstream
-   - Internal interfaces: method signatures, DTOs (from actual module code)
-   - External API specification (if the component exposes HTTP/gRPC endpoints)
-   - Data access patterns: queries, caching, storage estimates
-   - Implementation details: algorithmic complexity, state management, key libraries
-   - Extensions and helpers: shared utilities needed
-   - Caveats and edge cases: limitations, race conditions, bottlenecks
-   - Dependency graph: implementation order relative to other components
-   - Logging strategy
-3. Identify common helpers shared across multiple components → document in `common-helpers/`
-4. Generate component relationship diagram (Mermaid)
-
-**Self-verification**:
-- [ ] Every module from Step 1 is covered by exactly one component
-- [ ] No component has overlapping responsibility with another
-- [ ] Inter-component interfaces are explicit (who calls whom, with what)
-- [ ] Component dependency graph has no circular dependencies
-

----
-
-### Step 3: System-Level Synthesis
-
-**Role**: Software architect
-**Goal**: From component docs, synthesize system-level documents.
-
-All documents here are derived from component docs (Step 2) + module docs (Step 1). No new code reading should be needed. If it is, that indicates a gap in Steps 1-2 — go back and fill it.
-
-#### 3a. Architecture
-
-Using `.cursor/skills/plan/templates/architecture.md` as structure:
-
-- System context and boundaries from entry points and external integrations
-- Tech stack table from discovery (Step 0) + component specs
-- Deployment model from Dockerfiles, CI configs, environment strategies
-- Data model overview from per-component data access sections
-- Integration points from inter-component interfaces
-- NFRs from test thresholds, config limits, health checks
-- Security architecture from per-module security observations
-- Key ADRs inferred from technology choices and patterns
-
-**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/architecture.md`
-
-#### 3b. System Flows
-
-Using `.cursor/skills/plan/templates/system-flows.md` as structure:
-
-- Trace main flows through the component interaction graph
-- Entry point → component chain → output for each major flow
-- Mermaid sequence diagrams and flowcharts
-- Error scenarios from exception handling patterns
-- Data flow tables per flow
-
-**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/system-flows.md` and `DOCUMENT_DIR/diagrams/flows/flow_[name].md`
-
-#### 3c. Data Model
-
-- Consolidate all data models from module docs
-- Entity-relationship diagram (Mermaid ERD)
-- Migration strategy (if ORM/migration tooling detected)
-- Seed data observations
-- Backward compatibility approach (if versioning found)
-
-**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/data_model.md`
-
-#### 3d. Deployment (if Dockerfile/CI configs exist)
-
-- Containerization summary
-- CI/CD pipeline structure
-- Environment strategy (dev, staging, production)
-- Observability (logging patterns, metrics, health checks found in code)
-
-**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/deployment/` (containerization.md, ci_cd_pipeline.md, environment_strategy.md, observability.md — only files for which sufficient code evidence exists)
-
----
-
-### Step 4: Verification Pass
-
-**Role**: Quality verifier
-**Goal**: Compare every generated document against actual code. Fix hallucinations, fill gaps, correct inaccuracies.
-
-For each document generated in Steps 1-3:
-
-1. **Entity verification**: extract all code entities (class names, function names, module names, endpoints) mentioned in the doc. Cross-reference each against the actual codebase. Flag any that don't exist.
-2. **Interface accuracy**: for every method signature, DTO, or API endpoint in component specs, verify it matches actual code.
-3. **Flow correctness**: for each system flow diagram, trace the actual code path and verify the sequence matches.
-4. **Completeness check**: are there modules or components discovered in Step 0 that aren't covered by any document? Flag gaps.
-5. **Consistency check**: do component docs agree with architecture doc? Do flow diagrams match component interfaces?
-
-Apply corrections inline to the documents that need them.
-
-**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/04_verification_log.md` with:
-- Total entities verified vs flagged
-- Corrections applied (which document, what changed)
-- Remaining gaps or uncertainties
-- Completeness score (modules covered / total modules)
-
-**BLOCKING**: Present verification summary to user. Do NOT proceed until user confirms corrections are acceptable or requests additional fixes.
-
-**Session boundary**: After verification is confirmed, suggest a session break before proceeding to the synthesis steps (5–7). These steps produce different artifact types and benefit from fresh context:
-
-```
-══════════════════════════════════════
- VERIFICATION COMPLETE — session break?
-══════════════════════════════════════
- Steps 0–4 (analysis + verification) are done.
- Steps 5–7 (solution + problem extraction + report)
- can run in a fresh conversation.
-══════════════════════════════════════
- A) Continue in this conversation
- B) Save and continue in a new conversation (recommended)
-══════════════════════════════════════
-```
-
-If **Focus Area mode**: Steps 5–7 are skipped (they require full codebase coverage). Present a summary of modules and components documented for this area. The user can run `/document` again for another area, or run without FOCUS_DIR once all areas are covered to produce the full synthesis.
-
----
-
-### Step 5: Solution Extraction (Retrospective)
-
-**Role**: Software architect
-**Goal**: From all verified technical documentation, retrospectively create `solution.md` — the same artifact the research skill produces.
-
-Synthesize from architecture (Step 3) + component specs (Step 2) + system flows (Step 3) + verification findings (Step 4):
-
-1. **Product Solution Description**: what the system is, brief component interaction diagram (Mermaid)
-2. **Architecture**: the architecture that is implemented, with per-component solution tables:
-
-| Solution | Tools | Advantages | Limitations | Requirements | Security | Cost | Fit |
-|----------|-------|-----------|-------------|-------------|----------|------|-----|
-| [actual implementation] | [libs/platforms used] | [observed strengths] | [observed limitations] | [requirements met] | [security approach] | [cost indicators] | [fitness assessment] |
-
-3. **Testing Strategy**: summarize integration/functional tests and non-functional tests found in the codebase
-4. **References**: links to key config files, Dockerfiles, CI configs that evidence the solution choices
-
-**Save**: `SOLUTION_DIR/solution.md` (`_docs/01_solution/solution.md`)
-
----
-
-### Step 6: Problem Extraction (Retrospective)
-
-**Role**: Business analyst
-**Goal**: From all verified technical docs, retrospectively derive the high-level problem definition.
-
-#### 6a. `problem.md`
-
-- Synthesize from architecture overview + component purposes + system flows
-- What is this system? What problem does it solve? Who are the users? How does it work at a high level?
-- Cross-reference with README if one exists
-
-#### 6b. `restrictions.md`
-
-- Extract from: tech stack choices, Dockerfile specs, CI configs, dependency versions, environment configs
-- Categorize: Hardware, Software, Environment, Operational
-
-#### 6c. `acceptance_criteria.md`
-
-- Derive from: test assertions, performance configs, health check endpoints, validation rules
-- Every criterion must have a measurable value
-
-#### 6d. `input_data/`
-
-- Document data schemas (DB schemas, API request/response types, config file formats)
-- Create `data_parameters.md` describing what data the system consumes
-
-#### 6e. `security_approach.md` (only if security code found)
-
-- Authentication, authorization, encryption, secrets handling, CORS, rate limiting, input sanitization
-
-**Save**: all files to `PROBLEM_DIR/` (`_docs/00_problem/`)
-
-**BLOCKING**: Present all problem documents to user. Do NOT proceed until user confirms or requests corrections.
-
----
-
-### Step 7: Final Report
-
-**Role**: Technical writer
-**Goal**: Produce `FINAL_report.md` integrating all generated documentation.
-
-Using `.cursor/skills/plan/templates/final-report.md` as structure:
-
-- Executive summary from architecture + problem docs
-- Problem statement (transformed from problem.md, not copy-pasted)
-- Architecture overview with tech stack one-liner
-- Component summary table (number, name, purpose, dependencies)
-- System flows summary table
-- Risk observations from verification log (Step 4)
-- Open questions (uncertainties flagged during analysis)
-- Artifact index listing all generated documents with paths
-
-**Save**: `DOCUMENT_DIR/FINAL_report.md`
-
-**State**: update `state.json` with `current_step: "complete"`.
-
----
-
-## Escalation Rules
-
-| Situation | Action |
-|-----------|--------|
-| Minified/obfuscated code detected | WARN user, skip module, note in verification log |
-| Module too large for context window | Split into sub-sections, analyze parts separately, combine |
-| Cycle in dependency graph | Group cycled modules, analyze together as one doc |
-| Generated code (protobuf, swagger-gen) | Note as generated, document the source spec instead |
-| No tests found in codebase | Note gap in acceptance_criteria.md, derive AC from validation rules and config limits only |
-| Contradictions between code and README | Flag in verification log, ASK user |
-| Binary files or non-code assets | Skip, note in discovery |
-| `_docs/` already exists | ASK user: overwrite, merge, or use `_docs_generated/` |
-| Code intent is ambiguous | ASK user, do not guess |
-
-## Common Mistakes
-
-- **Top-down guessing**: never infer architecture before documenting modules. Build up, don't assume down.
-- **Hallucinating entities**: always verify that referenced classes/functions/endpoints actually exist in code.
-- **Skipping modules**: every source module must appear in exactly one module doc and one component.
-- **Monolithic analysis**: don't try to analyze the entire codebase in one pass. Module by module, in order.
-- **Inventing restrictions**: only document constraints actually evidenced in code, configs, or Dockerfiles.
-- **Vague acceptance criteria**: "should be fast" is not a criterion. Extract actual numeric thresholds from code.
-- **Writing code**: this skill produces documents, never implementation code.

-# Document Skill — Task Mode Workflow
-
-Lightweight, incremental documentation update triggered by task spec files. Updates only the docs affected by implemented tasks — does NOT redo full discovery, verification, or problem extraction.
-
-## Trigger
-
-- User provides one or more task spec files (e.g., `@_docs/02_tasks/done/AZ-173_*.md`)
-- AND `_docs/02_document/` already contains module/component docs
-
-## Accepts
-
-One or more task spec files from `_docs/02_tasks/todo/` or `_docs/02_tasks/done/`.
-
-## Steps
-
-### Task Step 0: Scope Analysis
-
-1. Read each task spec — extract the "Files Modified" or "Scope / Included" section to identify which source files were changed
-2. Map changed source files to existing module docs in `DOCUMENT_DIR/modules/`
-3. Map affected modules to their parent components in `DOCUMENT_DIR/components/`
-4. Identify which higher-level docs might be affected (system-flows, data_model, data_parameters)
-
-**Output**: a list of docs to update, organized by level:
-- Module docs (direct matches)
-- Component docs (parents of affected modules)
-- System-level docs (only if the task changed API endpoints, data models, or external integrations)
-- Problem-level docs (only if the task changed input parameters, acceptance criteria, or restrictions)
-
-### Task Step 1: Module Doc Updates
-
-For each affected module:
-
-1. Read the current source file
-2. Read the existing module doc
-3. Diff the module doc against current code — identify:
-   - New functions/methods/classes not in the doc
-   - Removed functions/methods/classes still in the doc
-   - Changed signatures or behavior
-   - New/removed dependencies
-   - New/removed external integrations
-4. Update the module doc in-place, preserving the existing structure and style
-5. If a module is entirely new (no existing doc), create a new module doc following the standard template from `workflows/full.md` Step 1
-
-### Task Step 2: Component Doc Updates
-
-For each affected component:
-
-1. Read all module docs belonging to this component (including freshly updated ones)
-2. Read the existing component doc
-3. Update internal interfaces, dependency graphs, implementation details, and caveats sections
-4. Do NOT change the component's purpose, pattern, or high-level overview unless the task fundamentally changed it
-
-### Task Step 3: System-Level Doc Updates (conditional)
-
-Only if the task changed API endpoints, system flows, data models, or external integrations:
-
-1. Update `system-flows.md` — modify affected flow diagrams and data flow tables
-2. Update `data_model.md` — if entities changed
-3. Update `architecture.md` — only if new external integrations or architectural patterns were added
-
-### Task Step 4: Problem-Level Doc Updates (conditional)
-
-Only if the task changed API input parameters, configuration, or acceptance criteria:
-
-1. Update `_docs/00_problem/input_data/data_parameters.md`
-2. Update `_docs/00_problem/acceptance_criteria.md` — if new testable criteria emerged
-
-### Task Step 5: Summary
-
-Present a summary of all docs updated:
-
-```
-══════════════════════════════════════
- DOCUMENTATION UPDATE COMPLETE
-══════════════════════════════════════
- Task(s): [task IDs]
- Module docs updated: [count]
- Component docs updated: [count]
- System-level docs updated: [list or "none"]
- Problem-level docs updated: [list or "none"]
-══════════════════════════════════════
-```
-
-## Principles
-
-- **Minimal changes**: only update what the task actually changed. Do not rewrite unaffected sections.
-- **Preserve style**: match the existing doc's structure, tone, and level of detail.
-- **Verify against code**: for every entity added or changed in a doc, confirm it exists in the current source.
-- **New modules**: if the task introduced an entirely new source file, create a new module doc from the standard template.
-- **Dead references**: if the task removed code, remove the corresponding doc entries. Do not keep stale references.

 ## Core Principles
 
-- **Preserve behavior first**: never refactor without a passing test suite (exception: testability runs, where the goal is making code testable)
+- **Preserve behavior first**: never refactor without a passing test suite
 - **Measure before and after**: every change must be justified by metrics
 - **Small incremental changes**: commit frequently, never break tests
-- **Save immediately**: write artifacts to disk after each phase
+- **Save immediately**: write artifacts to disk after each phase; never accumulate unsaved work
-- **Delegate execution**: all code changes go through the implement skill via task files
 - **Ask, don't assume**: when scope or priorities are unclear, STOP and ask the user
 
 ## Context Resolution
 
-Announce detected paths and input mode to user before proceeding.
+Determine the operating mode based on invocation before any other logic runs.
 
-**Fixed paths:**
+**Project mode** (no explicit input file provided):
+- PROBLEM_DIR: `_docs/00_problem/`
+- SOLUTION_DIR: `_docs/01_solution/`
+- COMPONENTS_DIR: `_docs/02_document/components/`
+- DOCUMENT_DIR: `_docs/02_document/`
+- REFACTOR_DIR: `_docs/04_refactoring/`
+- All existing guardrails apply.
 
-| Path | Location |
+**Standalone mode** (explicit input file provided, e.g. `/refactor @some_component.md`):
-|------|----------|
+- INPUT_FILE: the provided file (treated as component/area description)
-| PROBLEM_DIR | `_docs/00_problem/` |
+- REFACTOR_DIR: `_standalone/refactoring/`
-| SOLUTION_DIR | `_docs/01_solution/` |
+- Guardrails relaxed: only INPUT_FILE must exist and be non-empty
-| COMPONENTS_DIR | `_docs/02_document/components/` |
+- `acceptance_criteria.md` is optional — warn if absent
-| DOCUMENT_DIR | `_docs/02_document/` |
-| TASKS_DIR | `_docs/02_tasks/` |
-| TASKS_TODO | `_docs/02_tasks/todo/` |
-| REFACTOR_DIR | `_docs/04_refactoring/` |
-| RUN_DIR | `REFACTOR_DIR/NN-[run-name]/` |
 
-**Prereqs**: `problem.md` required, `acceptance_criteria.md` warn if absent.
+Announce the detected mode and resolved paths to the user before proceeding.
 
-**RUN_DIR resolution**: on start, scan REFACTOR_DIR for existing `NN-*` folders. Auto-increment the numeric prefix for the new run. The run name is derived from the invocation context (e.g., `01-testability-refactoring`, `02-coupling-refactoring`). If invoked with a guided input file, derive the name from the input file name or ask the user.
+## Mode Detection
 
-Create REFACTOR_DIR and RUN_DIR if missing. If a RUN_DIR with the same name already exists, ask user: **resume or start fresh?**
+After context resolution, determine the execution mode:
 
-## Input Modes
+1. **User explicitly says** "quick assessment" or "just assess" → **Quick Assessment**
+2. **User explicitly says** "refactor [component/file/area]" with a specific target → **Targeted Refactoring**
+3. **Default** → **Full Refactoring**
 
-| Mode | Trigger | Discovery source |
+| Mode | Phases Executed | When to Use |
-|------|---------|-----------------|
+|------|----------------|-------------|
-| Automatic | Default, no input file | Skill discovers issues from code analysis |
+| **Full Refactoring** | 0 → 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 | Complete refactoring of a system or major area |
-| Guided | Input file provided (e.g., `/refactor @list-of-changes.md`) | Reads input file + scans code to form validated change list |
+| **Targeted Refactoring** | 0 → (skip 1 if docs exist) → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 | Refactor a specific component; docs already exist |
+| **Quick Assessment** | 0 → 1 → 2 | Produce a refactoring roadmap without executing changes |
 
-Both modes produce `RUN_DIR/list-of-changes.md` (template: `templates/list-of-changes.md`). Both modes then convert that file into task files in TASKS_DIR during Phase 2.
+Inform the user which mode was detected and confirm before proceeding.
 
-**Guided mode cleanup**: after `RUN_DIR/list-of-changes.md` is created from the input file, delete the original input file to avoid duplication.
+## Prerequisite Checks (BLOCKING)

+1. PROBLEM_DIR exists with `problem.md` (or `problem_description.md`) — **STOP if missing**, ask user to create it
+2. If `acceptance_criteria.md` is missing: **warn** and ask whether to proceed
+3. Create REFACTOR_DIR if it does not exist
+4. If REFACTOR_DIR already contains artifacts, ask user: **resume from last checkpoint or start fresh?**

+
+### Phase 1: Discovery
+
+**Role**: Principal software architect
+**Goal**: Generate documentation from existing code and form solution description
+**Constraints**: Document what exists, not what should be. No code changes.
+
+**Skip condition** (Targeted mode): If `COMPONENTS_DIR` and `SOLUTION_DIR` already contain documentation for the target area, skip to Phase 2. Ask user to confirm skip.
+
+#### 1a. Document Components
+
+For each component in the codebase:
+
+1. Analyze project structure, directories, files
+2. Go file by file, analyze each method
+3. Analyze connections between components
+
+Write per component to `REFACTOR_DIR/discovery/components/[##]_[name].md`:
+- Purpose and architectural patterns
+- Mermaid diagrams for logic flows
+- API reference table (name, description, input, output)
+- Implementation details: algorithmic complexity, state management, dependencies
+- Caveats, edge cases, known limitations
+
+#### 1b. Synthesize Solution & Flows
+
+1. Review all generated component documentation
+2. Synthesize into a cohesive solution description
+3. Create flow diagrams showing component interactions
+
+Write:
+- `REFACTOR_DIR/discovery/solution.md` — product description, component overview, interaction diagram
+- `REFACTOR_DIR/discovery/system_flows.md` — Mermaid flowcharts per major use case
+
+Also copy to project standard locations if in project mode:
+- `SOLUTION_DIR/solution.md`
+- `DOCUMENT_DIR/system_flows.md`

+- [ ] Every component in the codebase is documented
+- [ ] Solution description covers all components
+- [ ] Flow diagrams cover all major use cases
+- [ ] Mermaid diagrams are syntactically correct
+
+**Save action**: Write discovery artifacts
+
+**BLOCKING**: Present discovery summary to user. Do NOT proceed until user confirms documentation accuracy.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: Analysis
+
+**Role**: Researcher and software architect
+**Goal**: Research improvements and produce a refactoring roadmap
+**Constraints**: Analysis only — no code changes
+
+#### 2a. Deep Research
+
+1. Analyze current implementation patterns
+2. Research modern approaches for similar systems
+3. Identify what could be done differently
+4. Suggest improvements based on state-of-the-art practices
+
+Write `REFACTOR_DIR/analysis/research_findings.md`:
+- Current state analysis: patterns used, strengths, weaknesses
+- Alternative approaches per component: current vs alternative, pros/cons, migration effort
+- Prioritized recommendations: quick wins + strategic improvements
+
+#### 2b. Solution Assessment
+
+1. Assess current implementation against acceptance criteria
+2. Identify weak points in codebase, map to specific code areas
+3. Perform gap analysis: acceptance criteria vs current state
+4. Prioritize changes by impact and effort
+
+Write `REFACTOR_DIR/analysis/refactoring_roadmap.md`:
+- Weak points assessment: location, description, impact, proposed solution
+- Gap analysis: what's missing, what needs improvement
+- Phased roadmap: Phase 1 (critical fixes), Phase 2 (major improvements), Phase 3 (enhancements)
+
+**Self-verification**:
+- [ ] All acceptance criteria are addressed in gap analysis
+- [ ] Recommendations are grounded in actual code, not abstract
+- [ ] Roadmap phases are prioritized by impact
+- [ ] Quick wins are identified separately
+
+**Save action**: Write analysis artifacts
+
+**BLOCKING**: Present refactoring roadmap to user. Do NOT proceed until user confirms.
+
+**Quick Assessment mode stops here.** Present final summary and write `FINAL_report.md` with phases 0-2 content.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: Safety Net
+
+**Role**: QA engineer and developer
+**Goal**: Design and implement tests that capture current behavior before refactoring
+**Constraints**: Tests must all pass on the current codebase before proceeding
+
+#### 3a. Design Test Specs
+
+Coverage requirements (must meet before refactoring — see `.cursor/rules/cursor-meta.mdc` Quality Thresholds):
+- Minimum overall coverage: 75%
+- Critical path coverage: 90%
+- All public APIs must have blackbox tests
+- All error handling paths must be tested
+
+For each critical area, write test specs to `REFACTOR_DIR/test_specs/[##]_[test_name].md`:
+- Blackbox tests: summary, current behavior, input data, expected result, max expected time
+- Acceptance tests: summary, preconditions, steps with expected results
+- Coverage analysis: current %, target %, uncovered critical paths
+
+#### 3b. Implement Tests
+
+1. Set up test environment and infrastructure if not exists
+2. Implement each test from specs
+3. Run tests, verify all pass on current codebase
+4. Document any discovered issues
+
+**Self-verification**:
+- [ ] Coverage requirements met (75% overall, 90% critical paths)
+- [ ] All tests pass on current codebase
+- [ ] All public APIs have blackbox tests
+- [ ] Test data fixtures are configured
+
+**Save action**: Write test specs; implemented tests go into the project's test folder
+
+**GATE (BLOCKING)**: ALL tests must pass before proceeding to Phase 4. If tests fail, fix the tests (not the code) or ask user for guidance. Do NOT proceed to Phase 4 with failing tests.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: Execution
+
+**Role**: Software architect and developer
+**Goal**: Analyze coupling and execute decoupling changes
+**Constraints**: Small incremental changes; tests must stay green after every change
+
+#### 4a. Analyze Coupling
+
+1. Analyze coupling between components/modules
+2. Map dependencies (direct and transitive)
+3. Identify circular dependencies
+4. Form decoupling strategy
+
+Write `REFACTOR_DIR/coupling_analysis.md`:
+- Dependency graph (Mermaid)
+- Coupling metrics per component
+- Problem areas: components involved, coupling type, severity, impact
+- Decoupling strategy: priority order, proposed interfaces/abstractions, effort estimates
+
+**BLOCKING**: Present coupling analysis to user. Do NOT proceed until user confirms strategy.
+
+#### 4b. Execute Decoupling
+
+For each change in the decoupling strategy:
+
+1. Implement the change
+2. Run blackbox tests
+3. Fix any failures
+4. Commit with descriptive message
+
+Address code smells encountered: long methods, large classes, duplicate code, dead code, magic numbers.
+
+Write `REFACTOR_DIR/execution_log.md`:
+- Change description, files affected, test status per change
+- Before/after metrics comparison against baseline
+
+**Self-verification**:
+- [ ] All tests still pass after execution
+- [ ] No circular dependencies remain (or reduced per plan)
+- [ ] Code smells addressed
+- [ ] Metrics improved compared to baseline
+
+**Save action**: Write execution artifacts
+
+**BLOCKING**: Present execution summary to user. Do NOT proceed until user confirms.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 5: Hardening (Optional, Parallel Tracks)
+
+**Role**: Varies per track
+**Goal**: Address technical debt, performance, and security
+**Constraints**: Each track is optional; user picks which to run
+
+Present the three tracks and let user choose which to execute:
+
+#### Track A: Technical Debt
+
+**Role**: Technical debt analyst
+
+1. Identify and categorize debt items: design, code, test, documentation
+2. Assess each: location, description, impact, effort, interest (cost of not fixing)
+3. Prioritize: quick wins → strategic debt → tolerable debt
+4. Create actionable plan with prevention measures
+
+Write `REFACTOR_DIR/hardening/technical_debt.md`
+
+#### Track B: Performance Optimization
+
+**Role**: Performance engineer
+
+1. Profile current performance, identify bottlenecks
+2. For each bottleneck: location, symptom, root cause, impact
+3. Propose optimizations with expected improvement and risk
+4. Implement one at a time, benchmark after each change
+5. Verify tests still pass
+
+Write `REFACTOR_DIR/hardening/performance.md` with before/after benchmarks
+
+#### Track C: Security Review
+
+**Role**: Security engineer
+
+1. Review code against OWASP Top 10
+2. Verify security requirements from `security_approach.md` are met
+3. Check: authentication, authorization, input validation, output encoding, encryption, logging
+
+Write `REFACTOR_DIR/hardening/security.md`:
+- Vulnerability assessment: location, type, severity, exploit scenario, fix
+- Security controls review
+- Compliance check against `security_approach.md`
+- Recommendations: critical fixes, improvements, hardening
+
+**Self-verification** (per track):
+- [ ] All findings are grounded in actual code
+- [ ] Recommendations are actionable with effort estimates
+- [ ] All tests still pass after any changes
+
+**Save action**: Write hardening artifacts
+

-# Phase 0: Context & Baseline
-
-**Role**: Software engineer preparing for refactoring
-**Goal**: Collect refactoring goals, create run directory, capture baseline metrics
-**Constraints**: Measurement only — no code changes
-
-## 0a. Collect Goals
-
-If PROBLEM_DIR files do not yet exist, help the user create them:
-
-1. `problem.md` — what the system currently does, what changes are needed, pain points
-2. `acceptance_criteria.md` — success criteria for the refactoring
-3. `security_approach.md` — security requirements (if applicable)
-
-Store in PROBLEM_DIR.
-
-## 0b. Create RUN_DIR
-
-1. Scan REFACTOR_DIR for existing `NN-*` folders
-2. Auto-increment the numeric prefix (e.g., if `01-testability-refactoring` exists, next is `02-...`)
-3. Determine the run name:
-   - If guided mode with input file: derive from input file name or context (e.g., `01-testability-refactoring`)
-   - If automatic mode: ask user for a short run name, or derive from goals (e.g., `01-coupling-refactoring`)
-4. Create `REFACTOR_DIR/NN-[run-name]/` — this is RUN_DIR for the rest of the workflow
-
-Announce RUN_DIR path to user.
-
-## 0c. Capture Baseline
-
-1. Read problem description and acceptance criteria
-2. Measure current system metrics using project-appropriate tools:
-
-| Metric Category | What to Capture |
-|----------------|-----------------|
-| **Coverage** | Overall, unit, blackbox, critical paths |
-| **Complexity** | Cyclomatic complexity (avg + top 5 functions), LOC, tech debt ratio |
-| **Code Smells** | Total, critical, major |
-| **Performance** | Response times (P50/P95/P99), CPU/memory, throughput |
-| **Dependencies** | Total count, outdated, security vulnerabilities |
-| **Build** | Build time, test execution time, deployment time |
-
-3. Create functionality inventory: all features/endpoints with status and coverage
-
-**Self-verification**:
-- [ ] RUN_DIR created with correct auto-incremented prefix

-- [ ] Functionality inventory is complete
-- [ ] Measurements are reproducible

-
-## Mode Branch
-
-Determine the input mode set during Context Resolution (see SKILL.md):
-
-- **Guided mode**: input file provided → start with 1g below
-- **Automatic mode**: no input file → start with 1a below
-
----
-
-## Guided Mode
-
-### 1g. Read and Validate Input File
-
-1. Read the provided input file (e.g., `list-of-changes.md` from the autopilot testability revision step or user-provided file)
-2. Extract file paths, problem descriptions, and proposed changes from each entry
-3. For each entry, verify against actual codebase:
-   - Referenced files exist
-   - Described problems are accurate (read the code, confirm the issue)
-   - Proposed changes are feasible
-4. Flag any entries that reference nonexistent files or describe inaccurate problems — ASK user
-
-### 1h. Scoped Component Analysis
-
-For each file/area referenced in the input file:
-
-1. Analyze the specific modules and their immediate dependencies
-2. Document component structure, interfaces, and coupling points relevant to the proposed changes
-3. Identify additional issues not in the input file but discovered during analysis of the same areas
-
-Write per-component to `RUN_DIR/discovery/components/[##]_[name].md` (same format as automatic mode, but scoped to affected areas only).
-
-### 1i. Logical Flow Analysis (guided mode)
-
-Even in guided mode, perform the logical flow analysis from step 1c (automatic mode) — scoped to the areas affected by the input file. Cross-reference documented flows against actual implementation for the affected components. This catches issues the input file author may have missed.
-
-Write findings to `RUN_DIR/discovery/logical_flow_analysis.md`.
-
-### 1j. Produce List of Changes
-
-1. Start from the validated input file entries
-2. Enrich each entry with:
-   - Exact file paths confirmed from code
-   - Risk assessment (low/medium/high)
-   - Dependencies between changes
-3. Add any additional issues discovered during scoped analysis (1h)
-4. **Add any logical flow contradictions** discovered during step 1i
-5. Write `RUN_DIR/list-of-changes.md` using `templates/list-of-changes.md` format
-   - Set **Mode**: `guided`
-   - Set **Source**: path to the original input file
-
-Skip to **Save action** below.
-
----
-
-## Automatic Mode
-
-### 1a. Document Components
-
-For each component in the codebase:
-
-1. Analyze project structure, directories, files
-2. Go file by file, analyze each method
-3. Analyze connections between components
-
-Write per component to `RUN_DIR/discovery/components/[##]_[name].md`:
-- Purpose and architectural patterns
-- Mermaid diagrams for logic flows
-- API reference table (name, description, input, output)
-- Implementation details: algorithmic complexity, state management, dependencies
-- Caveats, edge cases, known limitations
-
-### 1b. Synthesize Solution & Flows
-
-1. Review all generated component documentation
-2. Synthesize into a cohesive solution description
-3. Create flow diagrams showing component interactions
-
-Write:
-- `RUN_DIR/discovery/solution.md` — product description, component overview, interaction diagram
-- `RUN_DIR/discovery/system_flows.md` — Mermaid flowcharts per major use case
-
-Also copy to project standard locations:
-- `SOLUTION_DIR/solution.md`
-- `DOCUMENT_DIR/system_flows.md`
-
-### 1c. Logical Flow Analysis
-
-**Critical step — do not skip.** Before producing the change list, cross-reference documented business flows against actual implementation. This catches issues that static code inspection alone misses.
-
-1. **Read documented flows**: Load `DOCUMENT_DIR/system-flows.md`, `DOCUMENT_DIR/architecture.md`, and `SOLUTION_DIR/solution.md` (if they exist). Extract every documented business flow, data path, and architectural decision.
-
-2. **Trace each flow through code**: For every documented flow (e.g., "video batch processing", "image tiling", "engine initialization"), walk the actual code path line by line. At each decision point ask:
-   - Does the code match the documented/intended behavior?
-   - Are there edge cases where the flow silently drops data, double-processes, or deadlocks?
-   - Do loop boundaries handle partial batches, empty inputs, and last-iteration cleanup?
-   - Are assumptions from one component (e.g., "batch size is dynamic") honored by all consumers?
-
-3. **Check for logical contradictions**: Specifically look for:
-   - **Fixed-size assumptions vs dynamic-size reality**: Does the code require exact batch alignment when the engine supports variable sizes? Does it pad, truncate, or drop data to fit a fixed size?
-   - **Loop scoping bugs**: Are accumulators (lists, counters) reset at the right point? Does the last iteration flush remaining data? Are results from inside the loop duplicated outside?
-   - **Wasted computation**: Is the system doing redundant work (e.g., duplicating frames to fill a batch, processing the same data twice)?
-   - **Silent data loss**: Are partial batches, remaining frames, or edge-case inputs silently dropped instead of processed?
-   - **Documentation drift**: Does the architecture doc describe components or patterns (e.g., "msgpack serialization") that are actually dead in the code?
-
-4. **Classify each finding** as:
-   - **Logic bug**: Incorrect behavior (data loss, double-processing)
-   - **Performance waste**: Correct but inefficient (unnecessary padding, redundant inference)
-   - **Design contradiction**: Code assumes X but system needs Y (fixed vs dynamic batch)
-   - **Documentation drift**: Docs describe something the code doesn't do
-
-Write findings to `RUN_DIR/discovery/logical_flow_analysis.md`.
-
-### 1d. Produce List of Changes
-
-From the component analysis, solution synthesis, and **logical flow analysis**, identify all issues that need refactoring:
-
-1. Hardcoded values (paths, config, magic numbers)
-2. Tight coupling between components
-3. Missing dependency injection / non-configurable parameters
-4. Global mutable state
-5. Code duplication
-6. Missing error handling
-7. Testability blockers (code that cannot be exercised in isolation)
-8. Security concerns
-9. Performance bottlenecks
-10. **Logical flow contradictions** (from step 1c)
-11. **Silent data loss or wasted computation** (from step 1c)

-Create a work item tracker epic for this refactoring run:
-
-1. Epic name: the RUN_DIR name (e.g., `01-testability-refactoring`)
-2. Create the epic via configured tracker MCP
-3. Record the Epic ID — all tasks in 2d will be linked under this epic
-4. If tracker unavailable, use `PENDING` placeholder and note for later
-
-## 2d. Task Decomposition
-
-Convert the finalized `RUN_DIR/list-of-changes.md` into implementable task files.
-
-1. Read `RUN_DIR/list-of-changes.md`
-2. For each change entry (or group of related entries), create an atomic task file in TASKS_DIR:
-   - Use the standard task template format (`.cursor/skills/decompose/templates/task.md`)
-   - File naming: `[##]_refactor_[short_name].md` (temporary numeric prefix)
-   - **Task**: `PENDING_refactor_[short_name]`
-   - **Description**: derived from the change entry's Problem + Change fields
-   - **Complexity**: estimate 1-5 points; split into multiple tasks if >5
-   - **Dependencies**: map change-level dependencies (C01, C02) to task-level tracker IDs
-   - **Component**: from the change entry's File(s) field
-   - **Epic**: the epic created in 2c
-   - **Acceptance Criteria**: derived from the change entry — verify the problem is resolved
-3. Create work item ticket for each task under the epic from 2c
-4. Rename each file to `[TRACKER-ID]_refactor_[short_name].md` after ticket creation
-5. Update or append to `TASKS_DIR/_dependencies_table.md` with the refactoring tasks

-# Phase 3: Safety Net
-
-**Role**: QA engineer and developer
-**Goal**: Ensure tests exist that capture current behavior before refactoring
-**Constraints**: Tests must all pass on the current codebase before proceeding
-
-## Skip Condition: Testability Refactoring
-
-If the current run name contains `testability` (e.g., `01-testability-refactoring`), **skip Phase 3 entirely**. The purpose of a testability run is to make the code testable so that tests can be written afterward. Announce the skip and proceed to Phase 4.
-
-## 3a. Check Existing Tests
-
-Before designing or implementing any new tests, check what already exists:
-
-1. Scan the project for existing test files (unit tests, integration tests, blackbox tests)
-2. Run the existing test suite — record pass/fail counts
-3. Measure current coverage against the areas being refactored (from `RUN_DIR/list-of-changes.md` file paths)
-4. Assess coverage against thresholds:
-   - Minimum overall coverage: 75%
-   - Critical path coverage: 90%
-   - All public APIs must have blackbox tests
-   - All error handling paths must be tested
-
-If existing tests meet all thresholds for the refactoring areas:
-- Document the existing coverage in `RUN_DIR/test_specs/existing_coverage.md`
-- Skip to the GATE check below
-
-If existing tests partially cover the refactoring areas:
-- Document what is covered and what gaps remain
-- Proceed to 3b only for the uncovered areas
-
-If no relevant tests exist:
-- Proceed to 3b for full test design
-
-## 3b. Design Test Specs (for uncovered areas only)
-
-For each uncovered critical area, write test specs to `RUN_DIR/test_specs/[##]_[test_name].md`:
-- Blackbox tests: summary, current behavior, input data, expected result, max expected time
-- Acceptance tests: summary, preconditions, steps with expected results
-- Coverage analysis: current %, target %, uncovered critical paths
-
-## 3c. Implement Tests (for uncovered areas only)
-
-1. Set up test environment and infrastructure if not exists
-2. Implement each test from specs
-3. Run tests, verify all pass on current codebase
-4. Document any discovered issues
-
-**Self-verification**:
-- [ ] Coverage requirements met (75% overall, 90% critical paths) across existing + new tests
-- [ ] All tests pass on current codebase
-- [ ] All public APIs in refactoring scope have blackbox tests
-- [ ] Test data fixtures are configured

-# Phase 4: Execution
-
-**Role**: Orchestrator
-**Goal**: Execute all refactoring tasks by delegating to the implement skill
-**Constraints**: No inline code changes — all implementation goes through the implement skill's batching and review pipeline
-
-## 4a. Pre-Flight Checks
-
-1. Verify refactoring task files exist in TASKS_DIR (created during Phase 2d):
-   - All `[TRACKER-ID]_refactor_*.md` files are present
-   - Each task file has valid header fields (Task, Name, Description, Complexity, Dependencies)
-2. Verify `TASKS_DIR/_dependencies_table.md` includes the refactoring tasks
-3. Verify all tests pass (safety net from Phase 3 is green)
-4. If any check fails, go back to the relevant phase to fix
-
-## 4b. Delegate to Implement Skill
-
-Read and execute `.cursor/skills/implement/SKILL.md`.
-
-The implement skill will:
-1. Parse task files and dependency graph from TASKS_DIR
-2. Detect already-completed tasks (skip non-refactoring tasks from prior workflow steps)
-3. Compute execution batches for the refactoring tasks
-4. Launch implementer subagents (up to 4 in parallel)
-5. Run code review after each batch
-6. Commit and push per batch
-7. Update work item ticket status
-
-Do NOT modify, skip, or abbreviate any part of the implement skill's workflow. The refactor skill is delegating execution, not optimizing it.
-
-## 4c. Capture Results
-
-After the implement skill completes:
-
-1. Read batch reports from `_docs/03_implementation/batch_*_report.md`
-2. Read the latest `_docs/03_implementation/implementation_report_*.md` file
-3. Write `RUN_DIR/execution_log.md` summarizing:
-   - Total tasks executed
-   - Batches completed
-   - Code review verdicts per batch
-   - Files modified (aggregate list)
-   - Any blocked or failed tasks
-   - Links to batch reports
-
-## 4d. Update Task Statuses
-
-For each successfully completed refactoring task:
-
-1. Transition the work item ticket status to **Done** via the configured tracker MCP
-2. If tracker unavailable, note the pending status transitions in `RUN_DIR/execution_log.md`
-
-For any failed or blocked tasks, leave their status as-is (the implement skill already set them to In Testing or blocked).
-
-**Self-verification**:
-- [ ] All refactoring tasks show as completed in batch reports
-- [ ] All completed tasks have work item tracker status set to Done
-- [ ] All tests still pass after execution
-- [ ] No tasks remain in blocked or failed state (or user has acknowledged them)
-- [ ] `RUN_DIR/execution_log.md` written with links to batch reports

-# Phase 5: Test Synchronization
-
-**Role**: QA engineer and developer
-**Goal**: Reconcile the test suite with the refactored codebase — remove obsolete tests, update broken tests, add tests for new code
-**Constraints**: All tests must pass at the end of this phase. Do not change production code here — only tests.
-
-**Skip condition**: If the run name contains `testability`, skip Phase 5 entirely — no test suite exists yet to synchronize. Proceed directly to Phase 6.
-
-## 5a. Identify Obsolete Tests
-
-1. Compare the pre-refactoring codebase structure (from Phase 0 inventory) with the current state
-2. Find tests that reference removed functions, classes, modules, or endpoints
-3. Find tests that duplicate coverage due to merged/consolidated code
-4. Decide per test: **delete** (functionality removed) or **merge** (duplicates)
-
-Write `RUN_DIR/test_sync/obsolete_tests.md`:
-- Test file, test name, reason (target removed / target merged / duplicate coverage), action taken (deleted / merged into)
-
-## 5b. Update Existing Tests
-
-1. Run the full test suite — collect failures and errors
-2. For each failing test, determine the cause:
-   - Renamed/moved function or module → update import paths and references
-   - Changed function signature → update call sites and assertions
-   - Changed behavior (intentional per refactoring plan) → update expected values
-   - Changed data structures → update fixtures and assertions
-3. Fix each test, re-run to confirm it passes
-
-Write `RUN_DIR/test_sync/updated_tests.md`:
-- Test file, test name, change type (import path / signature / assertion / fixture), description of update
-
-## 5c. Add New Tests
-
-1. Identify new code introduced during Phase 4 that lacks test coverage:
-   - New public functions, classes, or modules
-   - New interfaces or abstractions introduced during decoupling
-   - New error handling paths
-2. Write tests following the same patterns and conventions as the existing test suite
-3. Ensure coverage targets from Phase 3 are maintained or improved
-
-Write `RUN_DIR/test_sync/new_tests.md`:
-- Test file, test name, target function/module, coverage type (unit / integration / blackbox)
-
-**Self-verification**:
-- [ ] All obsolete tests removed or merged
-- [ ] All pre-existing tests pass after updates
-- [ ] New code from Phase 4 has test coverage
-- [ ] Overall coverage meets or exceeds Phase 3 baseline (75% overall, 90% critical paths)

-# Phase 6: Final Verification
-
-**Role**: QA engineer
-**Goal**: Run all tests end-to-end, compare final metrics against baseline, and confirm the refactoring succeeded
-**Constraints**: No code changes. If failures are found, go back to the appropriate phase (4/5) to fix before retrying.
-
-**Skip condition**: If the run name contains `testability`, skip Phase 6 entirely — no test suite exists yet to verify against. Proceed directly to Phase 7.
-
-## 6a. Run Full Test Suite
-
-1. Run unit tests, integration tests, and blackbox tests
-2. Run acceptance tests derived from `acceptance_criteria.md`
-3. Record pass/fail counts and any failures
-
-If any test fails:
-- Determine whether the failure is a test issue (→ return to Phase 5) or a code issue (→ return to Phase 4)
-- Do NOT proceed until all tests pass
-
-## 6b. Capture Final Metrics
-
-Re-measure all metrics from Phase 0 baseline using the same tools:
-
-| Metric Category | What to Capture |
-|----------------|-----------------|
-| **Coverage** | Overall, unit, blackbox, critical paths |
-| **Complexity** | Cyclomatic complexity (avg + top 5 functions), LOC, tech debt ratio |
-| **Code Smells** | Total, critical, major |
-| **Performance** | Response times (P50/P95/P99), CPU/memory, throughput |
-| **Dependencies** | Total count, outdated, security vulnerabilities |
-| **Build** | Build time, test execution time, deployment time |
-
-## 6c. Compare Against Baseline
-
-1. Read `RUN_DIR/baseline_metrics.md`
-2. Produce a side-by-side comparison: baseline vs final for every metric
-3. Flag any regressions (metrics that got worse)
-4. Verify acceptance criteria are met
-
-Write `RUN_DIR/verification_report.md`:
-- Test results summary: total, passed, failed, skipped
-- Metric comparison table: metric, baseline value, final value, delta, status (improved / unchanged / regressed)
-- Acceptance criteria checklist: criterion, status (met / not met), evidence
-- Regressions (if any): metric, severity, explanation
-
-**Self-verification**:
-- [ ] All tests pass (zero failures)
-- [ ] All acceptance criteria are met
-- [ ] No critical metric regressions
-- [ ] Metrics are captured with the same tools/methodology as Phase 0

-
-**Skip condition**: If no `_docs/02_document/` directory exists, skip this phase entirely.

-## Guidelines
-
-- **Change IDs** use format `C##` (C01, C02, ...) — sequential within the run
-- Each change should map to one atomic task (1-5 complexity points); split if larger
-- **File(s)** must reference actual files verified to exist in the codebase
-- **Problem** describes the current state, not the desired state
-- **Change** describes what the system should do differently — behavioral, not prescriptive
-- **Dependencies** reference other change IDs within this list; cross-run dependencies use tracker IDs
-- In guided mode, the input file entries are validated against actual code and enriched with file paths, risk, and dependencies before writing
-- In automatic mode, entries are derived from Phase 1 component analysis and Phase 2 research findings

-
-#### Investigation Protocol for Skipped Tests
-
-For each skipped test:
-
-1. **Read the test code** — understand what the test is supposed to verify and why it skips.
-2. **Determine the root cause** — why did the skip condition fire?
-   - Is the test environment misconfigured? (e.g., wrong ports, missing env vars, service not started correctly)
-   - Is the test ordering wrong? (e.g., a fixture in an earlier test mutates shared state)
-   - Is a dependency missing? (e.g., package not installed, fixture file absent)
-   - Is the skip condition outdated? (e.g., code was refactored but the skip guard still checks the old behavior)
-   - Is the test fundamentally untestable in the current setup? (e.g., requires Docker restart, different OS, special hardware)
-3. **Try to fix the root cause first** — the goal is to make the test run, not to delete it:
-   - Fix the environment or configuration
-   - Reorder tests or isolate shared state
-   - Install the missing dependency
-   - Update the skip condition to match current behavior
-4. **Only remove as last resort** — if the test truly cannot run in any realistic test environment (e.g., requires hardware not available, duplicates another test with identical assertions), then removal is justified. Document the reasoning.
-
-#### Categorization
-
-- **explicit skip (dead code)**: Has `@pytest.mark.skip` — investigate whether the reason in the decorator is still valid. Often these are temporary skips that became permanent by accident.
-- **runtime skip (unreachable)**: `pytest.skip()` fires inside the test body — investigate why the condition always triggers. Often fixable by adjusting test order, environment, or the condition itself.
-- **environment mismatch**: Test assumes a different environment — investigate whether the test environment setup can be fixed.
-- **missing fixture/data**: Data or service not available — investigate whether it can be provided.

-### Hardware-Dependency & Execution Environment Assessment (BLOCKING — runs before Phase 4)
-
-Docker is the **preferred** test execution environment (reproducibility, isolation, CI parity). However, hardware-dependent projects may require local execution to exercise the real code paths. This assessment determines the right execution strategy by scanning both documentation and source code.
-
-#### Step 1 — Documentation scan
-
-Check the following files for mentions of hardware-specific requirements:
-
-| File | Look for |
-|------|----------|
-| `_docs/00_problem/restrictions.md` | Platform requirements, hardware constraints, OS-specific features |
-| `_docs/01_solution/solution.md` | Engine selection logic, platform-dependent paths, hardware acceleration |
-| `_docs/02_document/architecture.md` | Component diagrams showing hardware layers, engine adapters |
-| `_docs/02_document/components/*/description.md` | Per-component hardware mentions |
-| `TESTS_OUTPUT_DIR/environment.md` | Existing environment decisions |
-
-#### Step 2 — Code scan
-
-Search the project source for indicators of hardware dependence. The project is **hardware-dependent** if ANY of the following are found:
-
-| Category | Code indicators (imports, APIs, config) |
-|----------|-----------------------------------------|
-| GPU / CUDA | `import pycuda`, `import tensorrt`, `import pynvml`, `torch.cuda`, `nvidia-smi`, `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES`, `runtime: nvidia` |
-| Apple Neural Engine / CoreML | `import coremltools`, `CoreML`, `MLModel`, `ComputeUnit`, `MPS`, `sys.platform == "darwin"`, `platform.machine() == "arm64"` |
-| OpenCL / Vulkan | `import pyopencl`, `clCreateContext`, vulkan headers |
-| TPU / FPGA | `import tensorflow.distribute.TPUStrategy`, FPGA bitstream loaders |
-| Sensors / Cameras | `import cv2.VideoCapture(0)` (device index), serial port access, GPIO, V4L2 |

-Based on Steps 1–2, classify the project:
-
-- **Not hardware-dependent**: no indicators found → use Docker (preferred default), skip to "Record the decision" below
-- **Hardware-dependent**: one or more indicators found → proceed to Step 4
-

- Hardware dependencies detected:
- - [list each indicator found, with file:line]

- A) Local execution only (tests the real hardware path)
- B) Docker execution only (tests the fallback path)
- C) Both local and Docker (tests both paths, requires
-    two test runs — recommended for CI with heterogeneous
-    runners)
-══════════════════════════════════════
- Recommendation: [A, B, or C] — [reason]
-══════════════════════════════════════
-```
-
-#### Step 5 — Record the decision
-
-Write or update a **"Test Execution"** section in `TESTS_OUTPUT_DIR/environment.md` with:
-
-1. **Decision**: local / docker / both
-2. **Hardware dependencies found**: list with file references
-3. **Execution instructions** per chosen mode:
-   - **Local mode**: prerequisites (OS, SDK, hardware), how to start services, how to run the test runner, environment variables
-   - **Docker mode**: docker-compose profile/command, required images, how results are collected
-   - **Both mode**: instructions for each, plus guidance on which CI runner type runs which mode

 ### Phase 4: Test Runner Script Generation
 
-**Skip condition**: If this skill was invoked from the `/plan` skill (planning context, no code exists yet), skip Phase 4 entirely. Script creation should instead be planned as a task during decompose — the decomposer creates a task for creating these scripts. Phase 4 only runs when invoked from the existing-code flow (where source code already exists) or standalone.

 **Role**: DevOps engineer
 **Goal**: Generate executable shell scripts that run the specified tests, so the autopilot and CI can invoke them consistently.
-**Constraints**: Scripts must be idempotent, portable across dev/CI, and exit with non-zero on failure. Respect the Docker Suitability Assessment decision above.

-- **Docker is the default**: only generate a local `run-tests.sh` for hardware-dependent projects. Otherwise use `docker-compose.test.yml`.
-- **Always install dependencies first**: the script must install all project and test dependencies before building or running tests. A fresh clone or CI runner may have nothing installed. Missing a single dependency causes collection errors that abort the entire test run.
 - Both scripts must be idempotent (safe to run multiple times)
 - Both scripts must work in CI (no interactive prompts, no GUI)
 - Use `trap cleanup EXIT` to ensure teardown even on failure

+# ATLAS-GEOFUSE: IMU-Denied UAV Geolocalization
+
+ATLAS-GEOFUSE is a robust, multi-component Hybrid Visual-Geolocalization SLAM architecture. It processes un-stabilized, high-resolution UAV images in environments where IMU and GPS telemetry are completely denied. 
+
+It uses an "Atlas" multi-map framework, local TensorRT/PyTorch vision matching (SuperPoint+LightGlue), and asynchronous satellite retrieval to deliver scale-aware `<5s` relative poses and highly refined `<20m` absolute global map anchors.
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start (Docker)
+
+The easiest way to run the system with all complex dependencies (CUDA, OpenCV, FAISS, PyTorch, GTSAM) is via Docker Compose.
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+- Docker and Docker Compose plugin installed.
+- NVIDIA GPU with minimum 6GB VRAM (e.g., RTX 2060).
+- NVIDIA Container Toolkit installed.
+
+```bash
+# Build and start the background API service
+docker-compose up --build -d
+
+# View the live processing logs
+docker-compose logs -f
+```
+
+## 💻 Local Development Setup
+
+If you want to run the python server natively for development:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create a Python 3.10 virtual environment
+python -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+
+# 2. Install dependencies
+pip install torch torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
+pip install fastapi uvicorn[standard] pydantic numpy opencv-python faiss-gpu gtsam sse-starlette sqlalchemy requests psutil scipy
+pip install git+https://github.com/cvg/LightGlue.git
+
+# 3. Run the FastAPI Server
+python main.py
+```
+
+## 🧪 Running the Test Suite
+
+The project includes a comprehensive suite of PyTest unit and integration tests. To allow running tests quickly on CPU-only machines (or CI/CD pipelines), Deep Learning models are automatically mocked.
+
+```bash
+pip install pytest pytest-cov
+python run_e2e_tests.py
+```
+
+## 🌐 API Usage Examples
+
+The system acts as a headless REST API with Server-Sent Events (SSE) for low-latency streaming.
+
+### 1. Create a Flight
+```bash
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/flights" \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{
+           "name": "Mission Alpha",
+           "start_gps": {"lat": 48.0, "lon": 37.0},
+           "altitude": 400.0,
+           "camera_params": {
+               "focal_length_mm": 25.0,
+               "sensor_width_mm": 36.0,
+               "resolution": {"width": 6252, "height": 4168}
+           }
+         }'
+```
+*(Returns `flight_id` used in subsequent requests)*
+
+### 2. Stream Real-Time Poses (SSE)
+Connect to this endpoint in your browser or application to receive live unscaled and refined trajectory data:
+```bash
+curl -N -H "Accept:text/event-stream" http://localhost:8000/api/v1/flights/{flight_id}/stream
+```
+
+### 3. Ingest Images (Simulated or Real)
+Images are sent in batches to process the trajectory.
+```bash
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/flights/{flight_id}/images/batch" \
+     -F "start_sequence=1" \
+     -F "end_sequence=2" \
+     -F "batch_number=1" \
+     -F "images=@/path/to/AD000001.jpg" \
+     -F "images=@/path/to/AD000002.jpg"
+```
+
+## ⚙️ Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `USE_MOCK_MODELS` | If `1`, bypasses real PyTorch models and uses random tensors. Critical for fast testing on non-GPU environments. | `0` |
+| `TEST_FLIGHT_DIR` | Auto-starts a simulation of the images found in this folder upon boot. | `./test_flight_data` |

+# Feature: User Interaction
+
+## Description
+REST endpoints for user-triggered operations: submitting GPS fixes for blocked flights and converting detected object pixel coordinates to GPS. These endpoints support the human-in-the-loop workflow when automated localization fails.
+
+## Component APIs Implemented
+- `submit_user_fix(flight_id: str, fix_data: UserFixRequest) -> UserFixResponse`
+- `convert_object_to_gps(flight_id: str, frame_id: int, pixel: Tuple[float, float]) -> ObjectGPSResponse`
+- `get_frame_context(flight_id: str, frame_id: int) -> FrameContextResponse`
+
+## REST Endpoints
+| Method | Endpoint | Description |
+|--------|----------|-------------|
+| POST | `/flights/{flightId}/user-fix` | Submit user-provided GPS anchor |
+| POST | `/flights/{flightId}/frames/{frameId}/object-to-gps` | Convert pixel to GPS |
+| GET | `/flights/{flightId}/frames/{frameId}/context` | Get context images for manual fix |
+
+## External Tools and Services
+- **FastAPI**: Web framework for REST endpoints
+- **Pydantic**: Request/response validation
+
+## Internal Methods
+| Method | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `_validate_user_fix_request(fix_data)` | Validate pixel and GPS coordinates |
+| `_validate_flight_blocked(flight_id)` | Verify flight is in blocked state |
+| `_validate_frame_processed(flight_id, frame_id)` | Verify frame has pose in Factor Graph |
+| `_validate_pixel_coordinates(pixel, resolution)` | Validate pixel within image bounds |
+| `_build_user_fix_response(result)` | Build response with processing status |
+| `_build_object_gps_response(result)` | Build GPS response with accuracy |
+| `_build_frame_context_response(result)` | Build context payload with image URLs |
+
+## Unit Tests
+1. **submit_user_fix validation**
+   - Valid request for blocked flight → returns 200, processing_resumed=true
+   - Flight not blocked → returns 409
+   - Invalid GPS coordinates → returns 400
+   - Non-existent flight_id → returns 404
+
+2. **submit_user_fix pixel validation**
+   - Pixel within image bounds → accepted
+   - Negative pixel coordinates → returns 400
+   - Pixel outside image bounds → returns 400
+
+3. **convert_object_to_gps validation**
+   - Valid processed frame → returns GPS with accuracy
+   - Frame not yet processed → returns 409
+   - Non-existent frame_id → returns 404
+   - Invalid pixel coordinates → returns 400
+
+4. **get_frame_context validation**
+   - Valid blocked frame → returns 200 with UAV and satellite image URLs
+   - Frame not found → returns 404
+   - Context unavailable → returns 409
+
+4. **convert_object_to_gps accuracy**
+   - High confidence frame → low accuracy_meters
+   - Low confidence frame → high accuracy_meters
+
+## Integration Tests
+1. **User fix unblocks processing**
+   - Process until blocked → Submit user fix → Verify processing resumes
+   - Fetch frame context before submission to ensure payload is populated
+   - Verify SSE `processing_resumed` event sent
+
+2. **Object-to-GPS workflow**
+   - Process flight → Call object-to-gps for multiple pixels
+   - Verify GPS coordinates are spatially consistent
+
+3. **User fix with invalid anchor**
+   - Submit fix with GPS far outside geofence
+   - Verify appropriate error handling
+
+4. **Concurrent object-to-gps calls**
+   - Multiple clients request conversion simultaneously
+   - All receive correct responses

+
+### `create_sse_stream(flight_id: str) -> SSEStream`
+
+**REST Endpoint**: `GET /flights/{flightId}/stream`
+
+**Description**: Opens Server-Sent Events connection for real-time result streaming.
+
+**Called By**:
+- Client applications
+
+**Input**:
+```python
+flight_id: str
+```
+
+**Output**:
+```python
+SSE Stream with events:
+    - frame_processed
+    - frame_refined
+    - search_expanded
+    - user_input_needed
+    - processing_blocked
+    - flight_completed
+```
+
+**Processing Flow**:
+1. Validate flight_id exists
+2. Call F02 Flight Processor → create_client_stream(flight_id, client_id)
+3. F02 delegates to F15 SSE Event Streamer → create_stream()
+4. Return SSE stream to client
+
+**Event Format**:
+```json
+{
+  "event": "frame_processed",
+  "data": {
+    "frame_id": 237,
+    "gps": {"lat": 48.123, "lon": 37.456},
+    "altitude": 800.0,
+    "confidence": 0.95,
+    "heading": 87.3,
+    "timestamp": "2025-11-24T10:30:00Z"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Error Conditions**:
+- `404 Not Found`: flight_id doesn't exist
+- Connection closed on client disconnect
+
+**Test Cases**:
+1. **Connect to stream**: Opens SSE connection successfully
+2. **Receive frame events**: Process 100 frames → receive 100 events
+3. **Receive user_input_needed**: Blocked frame → event sent
+4. **Client reconnect**: Replay missed events from last_event_id
+
+---
+
+## Integration Tests
+
+### Test 1: Complete Flight Lifecycle
+1. POST /flights with valid data
+2. GET /flights/{flightId} → verify data
+3. GET /flights/{flightId}/stream (open SSE)
+4. POST /flights/{flightId}/images/batch × 40
+5. Receive frame_processed events via SSE
+6. Receive flight_completed event
+7. GET /flights/{flightId} → verify waypoints updated
+8. DELETE /flights/{flightId}
+
+### Test 2: User Fix Flow
+1. Create flight and process images
+2. Receive user_input_needed event
+3. POST /flights/{flightId}/user-fix
+4. Receive processing_resumed event
+5. Continue receiving frame_processed events
+
+### Test 3: Concurrent Flights
+1. Create 10 flights concurrently
+2. Upload batches to all flights in parallel
+3. Stream results from all flights simultaneously
+4. Verify no cross-contamination
+
+### Test 4: Waypoint Updates
+1. Create flight
+2. Simulate per-frame updates via PUT /flights/{flightId}/waypoints/{waypointId} × 100
+3. GET flight and verify all waypoints updated
+4. Verify refined=true flag set
+
+---
+
+## Non-Functional Requirements
+
+### Performance
+- **create_flight**: < 500ms response (prefetch is async)
+- **get_flight**: < 200ms for flights with < 2000 waypoints
+- **update_waypoint**: < 100ms (critical for real-time updates)
+- **upload_image_batch**: < 2 seconds for 50 × 2MB images
+- **submit_user_fix**: < 200ms response
+- **get_flight_status**: < 100ms
+- **SSE latency**: < 500ms from event generation to client receipt
+
+### Scalability
+- Support 100 concurrent flight processing sessions
+- Handle 1000+ concurrent SSE connections
+- Handle flights with up to 3000 waypoints
+- Support 10,000 requests per minute
+
+### Reliability
+- Request timeout: 30 seconds for batch uploads
+- SSE keepalive: Ping every 30 seconds
+- Automatic SSE reconnection with event replay
+- Graceful handling of client disconnects
+
+### Security
+- API key authentication
+- Rate limiting: 100 requests/minute per client
+- Max upload size: 500MB per batch
+- CORS configuration for web clients
+- Input validation on all endpoints
+- SQL injection prevention
+
+---
+
+## Dependencies
+
+### Internal Components
+- **F02 Flight Processor**: For ALL operations (flight CRUD, image batching, user fixes, SSE streams, object-to-GPS conversion). F01 is a thin REST layer that delegates all business logic to F02.
+
+**Note**: F01 does NOT directly call F05, F11, F13, or F15. All operations are routed through F02 to maintain a single coordinator pattern.
+
+### External Dependencies
+- **FastAPI**: Web framework
+- **Uvicorn**: ASGI server
+- **Pydantic**: Validation
+- **python-multipart**: Multipart form handling
