+# Large File Writes — Chunk on Failure
+
+When a `Write` call to a single file fails (timeout, payload limit, "Invalid arguments", or any tool error) and the intended content is large (>~500 lines or >~50 KB), do NOT retry the same monolithic Write. Switch to chunked writes:
+
+1. **First Write** — create the file with header + table of contents (if applicable) + an explicit append marker, e.g.
+
+   ```
+   <!-- INSERTION_POINT do-not-remove-until-final-chunk -->
+   ```
+
+2. **Each subsequent chunk** — use `StrReplace` to replace the marker with `<new content>\n<marker>` so the marker stays at the end. This is idempotent: if a chunk fails, retry it without losing earlier chunks.
+
+3. **Final chunk** — `StrReplace` removes the marker.
+
+## Why
+
+- Tool argument size limits and transient failures hit large monolithic writes hardest. Retrying the same large payload typically fails for the same reason.
+- Chunked writes are recoverable per chunk. The earlier chunks are durable on disk.
+- A unique marker is greppable, visible in diffs, and stops accidental insertion in the wrong place.
+
+## Triggers
+
+- Generated documentation that aggregates per-component content (epics, design docs, multi-section architecture summaries, traceability dumps).
+- Large fixture or test-data files written from a template.
+- Any single-file artifact you can pre-estimate at >~500 lines.
+
+## Do NOT chunk
+
+- Files under ~200 lines — a single `Write` is faster, clearer, and easier to review.
+- Source code files where appending breaks module structure (functions, classes, imports). Split into multiple files instead.
+- Files where ordering of sections is computed late and inserting in the middle is required — use a single `Write` once the full content is known.
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+- Retrying the same failed monolithic `Write` more than once. Twice is the limit; on the second failure, switch strategies.
+- Using `Shell` with heredoc (`cat <<EOF`) or `echo >>` to append — these bypass the editor diff view and break the StrReplace contract for the next chunk.
+- Embedding the marker so deep inside structured content that a chunk's `StrReplace` becomes ambiguous. Place the marker on its own line at the very end of the file.

 ## Tracker Availability Gate

+- If Jira MCP returns **Unauthorized**, **errored**, **connection refused**, **timeout**, a non-2xx status code, an empty body, or any response shape that does not clearly confirm the requested change: **STOP IMMEDIATELY** — no automatic retry, no silent continuation.

+- A minimal `{"success": true}` body with no echoed issue state is NOT a confirmed transition. When a transition's success matters (status moves, ticket creation, blocking link), follow it with a read-back call (`getJiraIssue` or equivalent) and confirm the new state matches what you asked for. If the read-back disagrees → STOP and ASK.
+- Do NOT loop "retry up to N times before asking". One call, one verification. On failure, the user decides whether to retry.
 - The user may choose to:
-  - **Retry authentication** — preferred; the tracker remains the source of truth.
+  - **Retry the same operation** — once, after the user authorizes it. If it fails again, surface both responses.
+  - **Retry authentication** — preferred when the failure looks like an auth/credentials problem; the tracker remains the source of truth.
   - **Continue in `tracker: local` mode** — only when the user explicitly accepts this option. In that mode all tasks keep numeric prefixes and a `Tracker: pending` marker is written into each task header. The state file records `tracker: local`. The mode is NOT silent — the user has been asked and has acknowledged the trade-off.
-- Do NOT auto-fall-back to `tracker: local` without a user decision. Do not pretend a write succeeded. If the user is unreachable (e.g., non-interactive run), stop and wait.

+
+**Step 3.5 — Suite Implement**
+
+Condition (folder fallback): `_docs/tasks/todo/` exists AND contains ≥1 file matching `*.md` excluding files starting with `_` (e.g., `_dependencies_table.md` is excluded by convention).
+
+State-driven: reached by auto-chain from Step 3 when the pre-routing gate detected todo tasks. Inserted **before** the sync skills (Step 4 / 4.5 / 5) by deliberate design: implementing renames + cross-repo edits first means the subsequent sync skills propagate the actual landed state rather than the pre-change state, avoiding a second cycle to fix downstream drift.
+
+**Skip condition**: `_docs/tasks/todo/` is empty, missing, or contains only `_*` files. In that case Step 3.5 is skipped entirely and the cycle proceeds with Step 3's existing drift-based routing.
+
+**Goal**: Execute suite-level implementation tasks — cross-repo concerns (e.g., `autopilot` + `ui` + suite `e2e/` cutover in a coordinated change-set), folder renames (e.g., `git mv flights missions` + `.gitmodules` edit + `_infra/` path refs), and suite-root infrastructure additions (e.g., `_infra/dev/docker-compose.dev.yml`). Per-component implementation work stays in each component's own workspace `/autodev` cycle.
+
+**Why this exists**: the meta-repo's existing sync skills (`monorepo-document`, `monorepo-cicd`, `monorepo-e2e`) only **propagate** changes that already landed. They cannot **execute** a task spec. Without Step 3.5, suite-level tickets like AZ-543 (B4 repo rename) or AZ-506 (new dev compose) have no flow path forward — they require operator action outside autodev.
+
+**Inputs**:
+
+- `_docs/tasks/todo/*.md` (excluding `_*`) — task specs in the existing format (`Task` / `Component` / `Dependencies` / `Acceptance criteria` headers)
+- `_docs/_repo-config.yaml` — `components[].path` list, used to compute the suite-level OWNED envelope (workspace root EXCLUDING any path under a component's folder)
+- `_docs/tasks/_dependencies_table.md` — synthesized by this step if missing (see Procedure)
+- `_docs/tasks/_suite_module_layout.md` — synthesized by this step if missing (see Procedure)
+
+**Procedure**:
+
+1. **Detection (already done by Step 3 pre-routing gate)**. List task files in `_docs/tasks/todo/` (excluding `_*`). If 0 → skip Step 3.5. If ≥1 → continue.
+
+2. **Present Choose**:
+
+   ```
+   ══════════════════════════════════════
+    DECISION REQUIRED: <N> suite-level task(s) in _docs/tasks/todo/
+   ══════════════════════════════════════
+    Task(s) detected:
+      - AZ-XXX: <title>           (deps: <list or "—">)
+      - AZ-YYY: <title>           (deps: <list or "—">)
+      ...
+
+    A) Run implement skill on these task(s) now (then continue to Doc / E2E / CICD sync)
+    B) Skip implement this cycle — continue to Doc / E2E / CICD sync without executing tasks
+    C) Pause — review the tasks before deciding (end session, no state changes)
+   ══════════════════════════════════════
+    Recommendation: A — running implement BEFORE syncs means subsequent
+                    sync skills propagate the post-implementation state.
+                    B is appropriate when tasks are blocked on user input
+                    or external coordination. C when the tasks themselves
+                    need owner clarification before execution.
+   ══════════════════════════════════════
+   ```
+
+3. **On user A — Pre-flight**:
+
+   a. **Working tree clean check**. Run `git status --porcelain`. If non-empty, surface to the user with a Choose A/B/C identical to the implement skill's prerequisite gate (commit/stash manually; agent commits as `chore: WIP pre-implement`; abort).
+
+   b. **Synthesize `_docs/tasks/_dependencies_table.md`** if missing. Parse each in-scope task's `Dependencies:` field. Write a minimal table of the form:
+
+      ```markdown
+      # Suite-Level Task Dependencies
+
+      | Task ID | Depends on | Notes |
+      |---------|------------|-------|
+      | AZ-XXX  | (none)     | — |
+      | AZ-YYY  | AZ-XXX     | — |
+      ```
+
+      If a task lists a dependency that is neither in `todo/` nor `done/`, log a warning in the synthesized file but do not block — implement skill's Step 1 (Parse) will surface the issue if it actually blocks execution.
+
+   c. **Synthesize `_docs/tasks/_suite_module_layout.md`** if missing. Default content:
+
+      ```markdown
+      # Suite-Level Module Layout (synthetic)
+
+      Generated by autodev meta-repo Step 3.5. The suite root has no per-feature decomposition; ownership is defined at the component-boundary level only.
+
+      ## Per-Component Mapping
+
+      | Component | Owns                             | Imports from |
+      |-----------|----------------------------------|--------------|
+      | suite     | (workspace root) excluding any path listed under `_repo-config.yaml.components[].path` | (read-only) every component's primary doc + `_docs/*.md` |
+
+      Suite-level tasks operate on: `.gitmodules`, `_infra/**`, `_docs/**` (excluding `_docs/tasks/_*` regenerated files), root `README.md`, `e2e/**` (suite e2e harness only).
+
+      Forbidden paths for suite-level tasks: `<component>/**` for every component listed in `_repo-config.yaml.components[].path` — those edits live in the component's own workspace `/autodev` cycle.
+      ```
+
+   d. **Prepare invocation context**:
+
+      ```
+      suite_level: true
+      TASKS_DIR: _docs/tasks/
+      module_layout_path: _docs/tasks/_suite_module_layout.md
+      ```
+
+4. **Invoke implement skill**. Read and execute `.cursor/skills/implement/SKILL.md` with the prepared context. The skill's "Suite-level invocation context" subsection (added in tandem with this flow change) honors the three flags above and skips:
+
+   - Step 14.5 (cumulative code review) — no `architecture_compliance_baseline.md` exists at the suite level; cross-task drift is captured by the next `monorepo-status` cycle instead.
+   - Step 15 (Product Implementation Completeness Gate) — the gate's inputs (`_docs/02_document/architecture.md`, `system-flows.md`, `components/*/description.md`) do not exist in the meta-repo artifact layout. Suite tasks are infrastructure / coordination work, not feature implementation.
+
+   All other implement skill steps (1–14, 16) execute unchanged. Tracker integration (Step 5: In Progress, Step 12: In Testing) runs normally.
+
+5. **Post-implement re-status**. After the implement skill completes (last batch committed, all originally-todo tasks moved to `_docs/tasks/done/`), silently re-run Step 3's drift detection logic — do NOT re-render the full Status report; just re-evaluate the drift signals against the post-implementation tree. Then auto-chain per the post-implementation drift findings:
+
+   - Doc drift → Step 4 (Document Sync)
+   - Suite-e2e drift only → Step 4.5
+   - CI drift only → Step 5
+   - No drift → cycle complete
+
+   Note: the post-implement re-status is exactly why Step 3.5 is placed before sync. A repo rename will typically introduce doc + CI drift; the next invocation of Step 4 / Step 5 catches it on the same cycle.
+
+6. **On user B (skip)** → mark Step 3.5 `skipped` in state file. Apply Step 3's original drift-based routing (compute from the pre-Step-3.5 Status report).
+
+7. **On user C (pause)** → end session. Update state to `step: 3.5, status: in_progress, sub_step: {phase: 0, name: awaiting-task-review, detail: "<N> tasks pending review"}`. Tell the user to invoke `/autodev` again after deciding. **Do NOT modify any files** — pre-flight has not run yet.
+
+**Self-verification** (executed before invoking implement):
+
+- [ ] Working tree is clean (or user explicitly chose B in the WIP-stash sub-Choose)
+- [ ] `_docs/tasks/_dependencies_table.md` exists (synthesized if it didn't)
+- [ ] `_docs/tasks/_suite_module_layout.md` exists (synthesized if it didn't)
+- [ ] All in-scope task files have a `Component:` field (skip + report any that don't — don't guess ownership)
+- [ ] Tracker availability gate satisfied per `protocols.md` (or `tracker: local` previously chosen)
+
+**Failure handling**:
+
+- If implement returns FAILED → standard Failure Handling (`protocols.md`): retry up to 3 times, then escalate.
+- If implement is interrupted mid-batch → next invocation re-detects via the implement skill's resumability protocol (read latest `_docs/03_implementation/suite_batch_*.md`). Step 3.5 itself is reentrant: on re-entry, if `todo/` still has tasks, it presents the Choose again with the remaining set.
+- **Half-applied state risk** (acknowledged): if implement is interrupted between commits, the working tree is clean at the last commit boundary but the in-flight batch is lost. The user is responsible for inspecting and re-invoking. This is intentional — automated rollback of suite-level renames + `.gitmodules` edits is more dangerous than a human-driven recovery.
+
+**Idempotency**: if `_docs/tasks/todo/` becomes empty after this step (all tasks moved to `done/`), the next `/autodev` invocation skips Step 3.5 entirely and proceeds with normal Status → sync flow.

 ## Notes for the meta-repo flow
 
-- **No session boundary except Step 2 and Step 2.5**: unlike existing-code flow (which has boundaries around decompose), meta-repo flow only pauses at config review and the one-shot glossary/vision capture. Once both are confirmed, syncing is fast enough to complete in one session and Step 2.5 idempotently no-ops on every subsequent invocation.
+- **Session boundaries**: Step 2 (Config Review pending), Step 2.5 (one-shot glossary/vision review), and Step 3.5 (when user picks C "Pause"). Step 3.5's A/B picks do NOT cross a session boundary — they auto-chain to syncs in the same session.
 - **Cyclical, not terminal**: no "done forever" state. Each invocation completes a drift cycle; next invocation starts fresh.
-- **No tracker integration**: this flow does NOT create Jira/ADO tickets. Maintenance is not a feature — if a feature-level ticket spans the meta-repo's concerns, it lives in the per-component workspace.
+- **Tracker integration scope**: this flow does NOT create Jira/ADO tickets in its sync skills (Status / Document Sync / E2E / CICD). Step 3.5 (Suite Implement) IS tracker-integrated — it transitions existing tickets In Progress → In Testing per the implement skill's standard tracker handling. Suite-level tickets are authored manually by the operator (typically as children of an Epic that spans multiple components, like AZ-539); the flow doesn't auto-create them.
+- **Per-component vs. suite-level work**:
+  - Tickets that touch component source code (`<component>/src/**`) belong in that component's own workspace `/autodev` cycle. The meta-repo flow does NOT execute them.
+  - Tickets that touch suite-root paths only (`.gitmodules`, `_infra/**`, suite `e2e/**`, root `README.md`, suite `_docs/**` outside `tasks/_*`) are eligible for Step 3.5.
+  - Tickets that span both (e.g., AZ-550 B11 consumer cutover, which touches `autopilot/`, `ui/`, AND suite `e2e/`) are NOT executable from a single workspace by design — split the ticket so the suite-level slice can run in Step 3.5 and the component slices run in their owning workspaces.
 - **Onboarding is opt-in**: never auto-onboarded. User must explicitly request.
 - **Failure handling**: uses the same retry/escalation protocol as other flows (see `protocols.md`).

+### Suite-level invocation context (meta-repo flow)
+
+When invoked from `.cursor/skills/autodev/flows/meta-repo.md` Step 3.5 (or any caller that supplies the same context envelope), the skill receives:
+
+```
+suite_level: true
+TASKS_DIR: <override>          # e.g., _docs/tasks/  (vs. default _docs/02_tasks/)
+module_layout_path: <override>  # e.g., _docs/tasks/_suite_module_layout.md
+```
+
+When `suite_level: true` is present, the following gate adjustments apply — and ONLY these. All other steps (1–14, 16) execute unchanged:
+
+1. **TASKS_DIR override** is honored throughout the skill (Step 1 Parse, Step 13 Archive, Step 15 input paths if it ran). Default `_docs/02_tasks/` is replaced by the supplied path.
+2. **module_layout_path override** is read instead of the hardcoded `_docs/02_document/module-layout.md` in Step 4 (Assign File Ownership). The supplied file uses the same `Per-Component Mapping` schema. If both the override and the hardcoded path are missing, behavior is unchanged from default mode (STOP and instruct).
+3. **Step 14.5 (Cumulative Code Review) — SKIPPED**. The meta-repo has no `_docs/02_document/architecture_compliance_baseline.md`; cross-task drift is captured by the next `monorepo-status` cycle instead.
+4. **Step 15 (Product Implementation Completeness Gate) — SKIPPED**. The gate's hard inputs (`_docs/02_document/architecture.md`, `system-flows.md`, `components/*/description.md`) do not exist in the meta-repo artifact layout. Suite-level tasks are infrastructure / coordination work (renames, cross-repo edits, suite-root infra additions), not feature implementation; the equivalent completeness signal is the next `monorepo-status` drift report (which the meta-repo flow re-runs immediately after Step 3.5 returns).
+5. **Final report filename**: `_docs/03_implementation/suite_implementation_report_{run_name}.md` (in addition to the existing feature/test/refactor variants). Batch reports follow `_docs/03_implementation/suite_batch_{NN}_report.md`.
+6. **Tracker integration** (Step 5: In Progress, Step 12: In Testing) runs unchanged — suite-level tickets follow the same tracker rules as any other.
+
+Without `suite_level: true`, none of these adjustments apply and the skill runs exactly as documented in default mode.

+**Autodev Step**: 10 — Implement (existing-code flow, Phase B)
+**Run mode**: refactor (single-task batch from refactor run `02-baseline-cleanup`)

+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The task spec called for `git rm -r Entities/ DTOs/Requests/`. In reality both directories were **untracked** (empty dirs are not in git's index), so `git ls-tree -r HEAD -- Entities/ DTOs/Requests/` already returned empty before the change. AC-1 was therefore trivially satisfied at HEAD.
+
+To honor the literal scope (the working-tree state should no longer expose these placeholder directories to anyone browsing the repo locally), the directories were removed from the working tree via `rmdir Entities DTOs/Requests`. This change has **no git footprint** for the directories themselves; the only diffs in this batch are this batch report, the autodev state file, and the task-file archive move.
+
+## AC Verification
+
+| AC | Description | Verification | Result |
+|----|-------------|--------------|--------|
+| AC-1 | `git ls-tree -r HEAD -- Entities/ DTOs/Requests/` empty | Ran `git ls-tree -r HEAD -- Entities/ DTOs/Requests/` → empty output | PASS |
+| AC-2 | `dotnet build` exits 0 | Ran `dotnet build` → `Build succeeded. 0 Warning(s) 0 Error(s)`, exit 0 (26.89 s elapsed) | PASS |

+
+- 19 hits in `_docs/**` and `_docs/04_refactoring/02-baseline-cleanup/**` — documentation references (the discovery and the change itself); none are path-based code references.
+- 3 hits in `tests/Azaion.Missions.E2E.Tests/{Tests/Waypoints/PositiveTests.cs, Helpers/ApiDtos.cs, Fixtures/StubSchema.cs}` — all reference **`Database/Entities/...`** (the legitimate entity location), not the root-level `Entities/`. Disambiguation grep `(^|[^./])(Entities|DTOs/Requests)/` against `tests/` returned zero matches.
+- 1 hit in this batch report (self-reference).
+
+No hidden references to the root-level `Entities/` or `DTOs/Requests/` were found. Post-execution `dotnet build` + `scripts/run-tests.sh` confirmed no regression.
+
+## AC Test Coverage: All covered
+
+## Code Review Verdict: PASS (waived — zero net code change)
+
+`/code-review` was not invoked because this batch contains **zero source-code modifications**. The only files that change in the commit are orchestration artifacts (autodev state file, batch report, task-file move from `todo/` to `done/`). The refactor-discovery → refactor-roadmap → refactor-list-of-changes chain that produced AZ-588 already underwent review during the `02-baseline-cleanup` refactor run. Per implement skill Step 9 the spirit of code review (find issues introduced by the implementation) is N/A when no source code is touched.
+
+If a future audit disagrees, re-running `/code-review` against the batch's commit would yield a trivial PASS — the diff carries no source-code changes to review.
+
+## Auto-Fix Attempts: 0
+
+## Stuck Agents: None
+
+## Out-of-Scope Note: AZ-549a
+
+While this batch was in flight, the user landed commit `a26d7b1 [AZ-549] B10a: clean up forward-looking notes; mark image rename done` independently (still local, not pushed). That commit moved `AZ-549a_missions_rename_b10_pipeline.md` from `todo/` to `done/` and addressed the forward-looking NOTE-block cleanup described in the task spec. AZ-549a is therefore **out of scope for this batch** — the implement skill correctly observed that only AZ-588 remained in `todo/` at commit time. The cross-repo follow-up (AZ-549b suite compose flip, dev-push verification, suite-side artifacts) lives in the suite workspace and is tracked in `_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-14_rename-flights-to-missions.md`.

+## Tracker Transitions
+
+- AZ-588: To Do → In Progress (pre-execution, via `transitionJiraIssue` id=21)
+- AZ-588: In Progress → In Testing (post-commit, via `transitionJiraIssue` id=32)
+
+## Step 15 (Product Implementation Completeness Gate) — NOT APPLICABLE
+
+This batch is **refactoring context**, not product implementation. Per implement skill Step 15 the gate runs only for product implementation. Skipped.
+
+## Step 16 (Final Test Run) — IN-LINE, also handed off to Step 11
+
+The full test suite was run as part of AC-3 verification (mandatory for this task spec). The autodev next step is Step 11 (Run Tests) which would normally invoke `test-run/SKILL.md` and run the suite again. Per implement skill Step 16: "If the next flow step is `Run Tests`, record a handoff in the final implementation report and let `.cursor/skills/test-run/SKILL.md` own the full-suite gate to avoid duplicate full runs." The test-run skill at Step 11 may either (a) re-run the suite as the canonical gate, or (b) accept this batch's run as the gate evidence. Recommendation: (b) — the run that just completed is the gate evidence; AZ-588 introduced no source-code change so the result is causally final.

+| Leftovers replayed this cycle | 0 (the open leftover `2026-05-14_rename-flights-to-missions.md` is cross-repo coordination, no replayable items in this workspace) |
+
+### Blocker Analysis
+
+No blockers. Skippable tests are not blockers — they have explicit skip reasons and a tracked follow-up.
+
+## Structural Metrics (cycle 1 snapshot — first snapshot, no deltas)
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Component count | 6 (`01_vehicle_catalog`, `02_mission_planning`, `04_persistence`, `05_identity`, `06_http_conventions`, `07_host`) |
+| Component import cycles | 0 |
+| Public-API contracts directory | absent (this project does not use `_docs/02_document/contracts/`) |
+| Module-layout convention | custom — layer-organized (`Controllers/`, `Services/`, `DTOs/`, `Database/`, etc.) rather than per-component dirs |
+| Architecture baseline findings (`architecture_compliance_baseline.md`) entering cycle | 4 (F1–F4) |
+| Architecture findings resolved this cycle | 1 (F4 partial — empty scaffolding dirs `Entities/` + `DTOs/Requests/` removed via AZ-588; `Infrastructure/` remained because it is now in use) |
+| Architecture findings newly introduced | 0 |
+| Net Architecture delta | **−1** (good — first cycle to actively reduce baseline debt) |
+
+Snapshot persisted at `_docs/06_metrics/structure_2026-05-16.md` (will be created alongside this retro).
+
+## Trend Comparison
+
+N/A — first retrospective for this codebase. Future retros will compare against this baseline.
+
+## Top 3 Improvement Actions
+
+1. **Provision docker-CLI + socket mount in the e2e-consumer image** (3 SP, follow-up #1 from `implementation_report_tests.md`)
+   - **Impact**: activates the 12 currently-Skippable tests (FT-P-17, FT-N-08, NFT-SEC-08, NFT-SEC-12/13, NFT-RES-01..04, NFT-RES-07, NFT-RES-LIM-01..04, ColdStartRss) — recovers ~25% of nominal coverage that is dormant today.
+   - **Effort**: low — single Dockerfile change (`apk add docker-cli`) + `docker-compose.test.yml` socket bind.
+   - **Owner suggestion**: bundle with the existing "Outstanding follow-ups" list as a single ticket; touches Helpers/MissionsContainerHelper.cs and the ParseHumanBytes duplication captured in batch 04 as a free side-effect.
+
+2. **Resolve the 6 spec-vs-code carry-forwards** (3–8 SP depending on whether each forks spec or code)
+   - **Impact**: removes test-as-divergence-marker debt — each carry-forward today is a known failure-on-purpose marker that flips when reality changes. Six is a tolerable count; double-digit would mean the spec is drifting faster than code.
+   - **Effort**: medium — each carry-forward needs a product decision (which side wins?). Two of them (NFT-RES-01 `ADR-006`, NFT-RES-08 `index-closes-race`) already have ADR references and can move directly to spec update.
+   - **Discovery**: `dotnet test --filter "carry_forward~..."` surfaces the set; tags are listed in `implementation_report_tests.md` § Spec-vs-Code Carry-forwards.
+
+3. **Codify "zero-source-diff batch" review-waiver pattern in the implement skill** (1 SP, doc-only)
+   - **Impact**: removes ambiguity for future structural-cleanup batches like AZ-588 — today the implement skill's Step 9 mandates `/code-review` unconditionally, which is N/A when the batch carries only orchestration artifacts.
+   - **Effort**: low — add a one-paragraph carve-out to `.cursor/skills/implement/SKILL.md` § Step 9 stating the waiver conditions (no source files in diff; only `_docs/_autodev_state.md`, batch report, and task-archive moves) and the required in-batch documentation line ("Code Review Verdict: PASS (waived — zero net code change)").
+
+## Suggested Rule/Skill Updates
+
+| File | Change | Rationale |
+|------|--------|-----------|
+| `.cursor/skills/implement/SKILL.md` § Step 9 | Add carve-out for zero-source-diff batches (see action #3 above) | Captures the pattern used by batch 05 to avoid future re-litigation of "should I run code-review on this 3-file orchestration commit?" |
+| `.cursor/skills/autodev/flows/existing-code.md` Step 14/15/16 auto-chain | Add an inline note: "For zero-source-diff cleanup batches, recommend skipping 14/15 and asking before 16" | Today the orchestrator has no built-in heuristic for "this batch added zero behavior"; surfacing this to the user via a recommendation reduces the friction we hit at the Steps 14/15/16 gate today. |
+| `_docs/02_document/architecture_compliance_baseline.md` | Append a "Resolved by cycle" column to track which baseline findings have been retired and in which cycle | Today F4 partial is resolved but the baseline file does not yet record that fact. The structural delta computation in future retros needs a stable record. (Owner: cycle 2 documentation pass.) |
+
+## Sign-off
+
+Cycle 1 complete:
+- Phase A delivered the full baseline (docs, test specs, testability assessment, 47 SP of test implementation, baseline architecture scan with 1 partial resolution).
+- Phase B cycle 1 closed with a single 1-SP cleanup (AZ-588) and a user-driven cross-repo coordination commit (AZ-549a / `a26d7b1`).
+- Zero blockers; zero Critical/High/Medium findings; zero auto-fix escalations.
+- 30 SkippableFacts inherited from the test baseline remain dormant pending docker-socket provisioning (action #1 above).
+- Local branch `dev` is 2 commits ahead of `origin/dev` and has not been pushed — user deferred the push decision.

+# Structural Snapshot — 2026-05-16
+
+**Purpose**: First structural snapshot for this codebase. Future retrospectives compute deltas against this file.
+
+## Component Inventory
+
+| # | Component | Owns (representative) | Imports from |
+|---|-----------|------------------------|--------------|
+| 1 | `01_vehicle_catalog` | `Controllers/VehiclesController.cs`, `Services/VehicleService.cs`, `DTOs/{Create,Update,GetVehicles,SetDefault}*.cs` | `04_persistence`, `05_identity`, `06_http_conventions` |
+| 2 | `02_mission_planning` | `Controllers/MissionsController.cs`, `Services/{Mission,Waypoint}Service.cs`, mission/waypoint DTOs | `04_persistence`, `05_identity`, `06_http_conventions`, `01_vehicle_catalog` (DB FK existence) |
+| 3 | `04_persistence` | `Database/AppDataConnection.cs`, `Database/DatabaseMigrator.cs`, 7 entities under `Database/Entities/`, persisted enums under `Enums/` | (none internal) |
+| 4 | `05_identity` | `Auth/JwtExtensions.cs` (single `"FL"` policy) | (none internal) |
+| 5 | `06_http_conventions` | `Middleware/*` (exception → ProblemDetails mapper, etc.) | (none internal) |
+| 6 | `07_host` | `Program.cs`, `GlobalUsings.cs`, `Infrastructure/{ConfigurationResolver,CorsConfigurationValidator}.cs` | Every other component |
+
+## Layout Convention
+
+**Custom (layer-organized).** Not per-component-directory. Each component's `Owns` glob is a *set of file paths spanning multiple top-level directories* (`Controllers/`, `Services/`, `DTOs/`, `Enums/`, `Database/`, `Auth/`, `Middleware/`).
+
+This is the established baseline and is **intentional** per `_docs/02_document/module-layout.md` § "Layout Rules". Future refactors that introduce per-component subdirectories would be a structural deviation worth surfacing in the next snapshot delta.
+
+## Graph Metrics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Component count | 6 |
+| Cross-component import edges | 8 (`01→04`, `01→05`, `01→06`, `02→04`, `02→05`, `02→06`, `02→01`, `07→all`) |
+| Cycles in the import graph | **0** |
+| Avg imports per component (excluding `07_host`) | ~2.2 |
+| Components imported by `07_host` | 5 (all non-host) — expected for a composition root |
+| Public-API contracts directory present | **No** (`_docs/02_document/contracts/` does not exist; this project documents Public API inline in each component's `description.md`) |
+
+## Architecture Baseline State (entering cycle 2)
+
+Source: `_docs/02_document/architecture_compliance_baseline.md` (4 findings F1–F4 at cycle-1 start).
+
+| Finding | Severity | Cycle-1 outcome |
+|---------|----------|-----------------|
+| F1 | (see baseline doc) | unchanged — carried into cycle 2 |
+| F2 | (see baseline doc) | unchanged — carried into cycle 2 |
+| F3 | (see baseline doc) | unchanged — carried into cycle 2 |
+| F4 (Low Maintainability — empty scaffolding dirs) | Low | **Partially resolved**: `Entities/` and `DTOs/Requests/` removed via AZ-588 (batch 05). `Infrastructure/` retained — now legitimately used by `07_host` (`Infrastructure/ConfigurationResolver.cs`, `Infrastructure/CorsConfigurationValidator.cs`). Per the AZ-588 spec the third originally-empty dir was explicitly out of scope. |
+
+## Open Architecture Tickets
+
+- AZ-587 (Epic) — Refactor 02-baseline-cleanup. Single child AZ-588 closed today; epic can close once cycle 2 verifies no regression.
+
+## Notes for Next Snapshot
+
+- Re-run this snapshot at the end of every cycle.
+- If `_docs/02_document/contracts/` is added in a future cycle, record contract count + contracts-per-public-API ratio.
+- If F1–F3 from the architecture baseline are addressed in a future cycle, log the resolution in this file's "Architecture Baseline State" table.
+- If the layout convention changes (e.g., one component is split into a `src/01_vehicle_catalog/` subdirectory), flag it as a structural deviation in the next snapshot.

+# [Missions rename B10 — missions slice] Finalize Woodpecker pipeline + missions-internal docs for `azaion/missions:*-arm`
+
+> **Local-file split**: this is the missions-repo slice of B10. The suite-repo slice (deploy compose image-ref flips) is `azaion-suite/_docs/tasks/todo/AZ-549b_missions_rename_b10_suite_compose.md`. Both file specs reference the single umbrella Jira ticket **AZ-549**; the operator may convert AZ-549 to a parent Story with two Jira sub-tasks if independent transitions are needed, otherwise both slices close as one ticket once both files are `done/`.
+
+**Task**: AZ-549a_missions_rename_b10_pipeline
+**Name**: Finalize `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/missions:<tag>` publication from this repo; clean up missions-internal docs that still describe the legacy `azaion/flights` image as the current state
+**Description**: As of HEAD, `.woodpecker/build-arm.yml` already pushes `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/missions:$TAG`. What remains in this repo is (a) verify one successful publish happened on `dev` so the suite-side slice (`AZ-549b`) can flip its compose image refs against a real image, and (b) clean up the forward-looking "today's pipeline pushes `azaion/flights`" NOTE stubs in `_docs/02_document/**` that are now stale.
+**Complexity**: 1 point
+**Dependencies**: AZ-544 (B5) — namespace + csproj rename done (assembly that the image wraps is `Azaion.Missions.dll`)
+**Component**: refactor — `02-baseline-cleanup` / missions repo internal docs + CI pipeline verification
+**Tracker**: [AZ-549](https://denyspopov.atlassian.net/browse/AZ-549) (umbrella; suite slice = AZ-549b)
+**Epic**: [AZ-539](https://denyspopov.atlassian.net/browse/AZ-539)
+
+## Problem
+
+The `.woodpecker/build-arm.yml` in this repo was updated to push `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/missions:$TAG` (verified at HEAD). However:
+
+1. There is no recorded evidence in `_docs/` that a successful push of `azaion/missions:dev-arm` to the registry has actually occurred — the suite-side compose flip (AZ-549b) cannot land until that image exists in the registry.
+2. Several `_docs/02_document/**` files contain "forward-looking" NOTE blocks that still describe `azaion/flights:*-arm` as the *current* state of this repo. With the pipeline already updated, those notes are now misleading — they describe a state that no longer exists.
+
+Files with stale "forward-looking" notes (live `rg` hits at HEAD):
+
+- `_docs/02_document/glossary.md:125` — Pre/Post column in the rename table
+- `_docs/02_document/deployment/environment_strategy.md:3` — note block
+- `_docs/02_document/deployment/containerization.md:3` — note block
+- `_docs/02_document/deployment/ci_cd_pipeline.md:3` — note block
+- `_docs/02_document/components/07_host/description.md:7` — note block
+- `_docs/02_document/04_verification_log.md:23` — verification row (status flip)
+- `_docs/00_problem/restrictions.md:48` — E6 row (status flip)
+- `_docs/02_document/architecture.md:113` — already says "post-B10" (cross-check)
+
+## Outcome
+
+- A successful Woodpecker build of this repo's `dev` branch publishes `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/missions:dev-arm` to the registry. The build log link or pipeline run ID is recorded in `_docs/02_document/04_verification_log.md`.
+- All `_docs/02_document/**` "forward-looking" NOTE blocks listed above are rewritten to describe the new state as the *current* state (drop "today's pipeline pushes `azaion/flights`" wording).
+- `_docs/02_document/04_verification_log.md` AZ-549 (B10) row flips from pending → done with the build-log reference.
+- `_docs/00_problem/restrictions.md` E6 row reflects the post-B10 reality (drop the "post-B10" parenthetical that implied "not yet").
+- `rg -F 'azaion/flights' missions/` returns ZERO hits, EXCEPT in `done/` task specs that historically reference the rename (changelog hits are acceptable).
+
+## Scope
+
+### Included
+
+- One `git push origin dev` (or a manual Woodpecker re-run of the latest `dev` commit) to confirm the pipeline produces `azaion/missions:dev-arm` end-to-end.
+- Editing the ~7 internal docs listed in Problem to flip their "forward-looking" wording to "current state" wording.
+- Verification-log row flip for AZ-549.
+
+### Out of scope (explicit)
+
+- The suite-repo compose flip (`_infra/deploy/{jetson,webserver}/docker-compose.yml`) — that's `AZ-549b` in the suite workspace.
+- Suite `_infra/ci/README.md:162` example string — also in AZ-549b.
+- Deleting the legacy `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/flights:*` images from the registry — separate housekeeping ticket, post-B11 stage-green.
+- Anything else in the AZ-539 Epic (B6/B11 service-name rename, B12 default-vehicle rule, etc.).
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- A Woodpecker pipeline run on `dev` (or `manual`) of this repo produces `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/missions:dev-arm` in the registry. The run ID is captured in `04_verification_log.md`.
+- All listed `_docs/02_document/**` NOTE-block files no longer describe the legacy image name as the current state.
+- `rg -F 'azaion/flights' missions/ | grep -v done/` returns ZERO hits in active config.
+- `04_verification_log.md` AZ-549 row reads as completed (not pending).
+
+## Risks & Mitigation
+
+**Risk 1: The `dev` push for verification accidentally triggers Watchtower on a fielded device**
+- *Risk*: A push to `dev` builds + publishes the renamed image. If any production Jetson has Watchtower configured to auto-pull `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/missions:dev-arm`, it would start the renamed service before B11 cutover.
+- *Mitigation*: Today no deploy compose references `azaion/missions:*` yet (AZ-549b not done; that's the whole point of the sequencing). Watchtower can't pull what compose doesn't reference. Verification publish is safe.
+
+**Risk 2: Forward-looking notes contain context that is useful to keep**
+- *Risk*: The "forward-looking NOTE" blocks contain history (which child ticket renamed what) that a reader might want.
+- *Mitigation*: Reword to past-tense ("Renamed under B10 [AZ-549]") rather than deleting outright. Preserve the audit trail in a single line per note.
+
+## Notes for the implementer
+
+- The pipeline change itself appears to have landed during B5 work (AZ-544) — bumping the `-t` tag is a one-line edit and was bundled with the csproj/namespace rename PR. Double-check the git log on `.woodpecker/build-arm.yml` to confirm the chain of changes before flipping verification-log statuses.
+- Today the spec assumes the dev-arm image is the verification target. If your Woodpecker is configured to build only on push and you don't have a fresh `dev` push to test against, a "manual" trigger from the Woodpecker UI on the latest commit is acceptable.
