+# AutoModeService Refactoring
+
+## What This Is
+
+A comprehensive refactoring of the `auto-mode-service.ts` file (5k+ lines) into smaller, focused services with clear boundaries. This is an architectural cleanup of accumulated technical debt from rapid development, breaking the "god object" anti-pattern into maintainable, debuggable modules.
+
+## Core Value
+
+All existing auto-mode functionality continues working — features execute, pipelines flow, merges complete — while the codebase becomes maintainable.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Validated
+
+<!-- Existing functionality that must be preserved -->
+
+- ✓ Single feature execution with AI agent — existing
+- ✓ Concurrent execution with configurable limits — existing
+- ✓ Pipeline orchestration (backlog → in-progress → approval → verified) — existing
+- ✓ Git worktree isolation per feature — existing
+- ✓ Automatic merging of completed work — existing
+- ✓ Custom pipeline support — existing
+- ✓ Test runner integration — existing
+- ✓ Event streaming to frontend — existing
+
+### Active
+
+<!-- Refactoring goals -->
+
+- [ ] No service file exceeds ~500 lines
+- [ ] Each service has single, clear responsibility
+- [ ] Service boundaries make debugging obvious
+- [ ] Changes to one service don't risk breaking unrelated features
+- [ ] Test coverage for critical paths
+
+### Out of Scope
+
+- New auto-mode features — this is cleanup, not enhancement
+- UI changes — backend refactor only
+- Performance optimization — maintain current performance, don't optimize
+- Other service refactoring — focus on auto-mode-service.ts only
+
+## Context
+
+**Current state:** `apps/server/src/services/auto-mode-service.ts` is ~5700 lines handling:
+
+- Worktree management (create, cleanup, track)
+- Agent/task execution coordination
+- Concurrency control and queue management
+- Pipeline state machine (column transitions)
+- Merge handling and conflict resolution
+- Event emission for real-time updates
+
+**Technical environment:**
+
+- Express 5 backend, TypeScript
+- Event-driven architecture via EventEmitter
+- WebSocket streaming to React frontend
+- Git worktrees via @automaker/git-utils
+- Minimal existing test coverage
+
+**Codebase analysis:** See `.planning/codebase/` for full architecture, conventions, and existing patterns.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- **Breaking changes**: Acceptable — other parts of the app can be updated to match new service interfaces
+- **Test coverage**: Currently minimal — must add tests during refactoring to catch regressions
+- **Incremental approach**: Required — can't do big-bang rewrite with everything critical
+- **Existing patterns**: Follow conventions in `.planning/codebase/CONVENTIONS.md`
+
+## Key Decisions
+
+| Decision                  | Rationale                                           | Outcome   |
+| ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | --------- |
+| Accept breaking changes   | Allows cleaner interfaces, worth the migration cost | — Pending |
+| Add tests during refactor | No existing safety net, need to build one           | — Pending |
+| Incremental extraction    | Everything is critical, can't break it all at once  | — Pending |

+# Architecture
+
+**Analysis Date:** 2026-01-27
+
+## Pattern Overview
+
+**Overall:** Monorepo with layered client-server architecture (Electron-first) and pluggable provider abstraction for AI models.
+
+**Key Characteristics:**
+
+- Event-driven communication via WebSocket between frontend and backend
+- Multi-provider AI model abstraction layer (Claude, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, Copilot)
+- Feature-centric workflow stored in `.automaker/` directories
+- Isolated git worktree execution for each feature
+- State management through Zustand stores with API persistence
+
+## Layers
+
+**Presentation Layer (UI):**
+
+- Purpose: React 19 Electron/web frontend with TanStack Router file-based routing
+- Location: `apps/ui/src/`
+- Contains: Route components, view pages, custom React hooks, Zustand stores, API client
+- Depends on: @automaker/types, @automaker/utils, HTTP API backend
+- Used by: Electron main process (desktop), web browser (web mode)
+
+**API Layer (Server):**
+
+- Purpose: Express 5 backend exposing RESTful and WebSocket endpoints
+- Location: `apps/server/src/`
+- Contains: Route handlers, business logic services, middleware, provider adapters
+- Depends on: @automaker/types, @automaker/utils, @automaker/platform, Claude Agent SDK
+- Used by: UI frontend via HTTP/WebSocket
+
+**Service Layer (Server):**
+
+- Purpose: Business logic and domain operations
+- Location: `apps/server/src/services/`
+- Contains: AgentService, FeatureLoader, AutoModeService, SettingsService, DevServerService, etc.
+- Depends on: Providers, secure filesystem, feature storage
+- Used by: Route handlers
+
+**Provider Abstraction (Server):**
+
+- Purpose: Unified interface for different AI model providers
+- Location: `apps/server/src/providers/`
+- Contains: ProviderFactory, specific provider implementations (ClaudeProvider, CursorProvider, CodexProvider, GeminiProvider, OpencodeProvider, CopilotProvider)
+- Depends on: @automaker/types, provider SDKs
+- Used by: AgentService
+
+**Shared Library Layer:**
+
+- Purpose: Type definitions and utilities shared across apps
+- Location: `libs/`
+- Contains: @automaker/types, @automaker/utils, @automaker/platform, @automaker/prompts, @automaker/model-resolver, @automaker/dependency-resolver, @automaker/git-utils, @automaker/spec-parser
+- Depends on: None (types has no external deps)
+- Used by: All apps and services
+
+## Data Flow
+
+**Feature Execution Flow:**
+
+1. User creates/updates feature via UI (`apps/ui/src/`)
+2. UI sends HTTP request to backend (`POST /api/features`)
+3. Server route handler invokes FeatureLoader to persist to `.automaker/features/{featureId}/`
+4. When executing, AgentService loads feature, creates isolated git worktree via @automaker/git-utils
+5. AgentService invokes ProviderFactory to get appropriate AI provider (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
+6. Provider executes with context from CLAUDE.md files via @automaker/utils loadContextFiles()
+7. Server emits events via EventEmitter throughout execution
+8. Events stream to frontend via WebSocket
+9. UI updates stores and renders real-time progress
+10. Feature results persist back to `.automaker/features/` with generated agent-output.md
+
+**State Management:**
+
+**Frontend State (Zustand):**
+
+- `app-store.ts`: Global app state (projects, features, settings, boards, themes)
+- `setup-store.ts`: First-time setup wizard flow
+- `ideation-store.ts`: Ideation feature state
+- `test-runners-store.ts`: Test runner configurations
+- Settings now persist via API (`/api/settings`) rather than localStorage (see use-settings-sync.ts)
+
+**Backend State (Services):**
+
+- SettingsService: Global and project-specific settings (in-memory with file persistence)
+- AgentService: Active agent sessions and conversation history
+- FeatureLoader: Feature data model operations
+- DevServerService: Development server logs
+- EventHistoryService: Persists event logs for replay
+
+**Real-Time Updates (WebSocket):**
+
+- Server EventEmitter emits TypedEvent (type + payload)
+- WebSocket handler subscribes to events and broadcasts to all clients
+- Frontend listens on multiple WebSocket subscriptions and updates stores
+
+## Key Abstractions
+
+**Feature:**
+
+- Purpose: Represents a development task/story with rich metadata
+- Location: @automaker/types → `libs/types/src/feature.ts`
+- Fields: id, title, description, status, images, tasks, priority, etc.
+- Stored: `.automaker/features/{featureId}/feature.json`
+
+**Provider:**
+
+- Purpose: Abstracts different AI model implementations
+- Location: `apps/server/src/providers/{provider}-provider.ts`
+- Interface: Common execute() method with consistent message format
+- Implementations: Claude, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, Copilot
+- Factory: ProviderFactory picks correct provider based on model ID
+
+**Event:**
+
+- Purpose: Real-time updates streamed to frontend
+- Location: @automaker/types → `libs/types/src/event.ts`
+- Format: { type: EventType, payload: unknown }
+- Examples: agent-started, agent-step, agent-complete, feature-updated, etc.
+
+**AgentSession:**
+
+- Purpose: Represents a conversation between user and AI agent
+- Location: @automaker/types → `libs/types/src/session.ts`
+- Contains: Messages (user + assistant), metadata, creation timestamp
+- Stored: `{DATA_DIR}/agent-sessions/{sessionId}.json`
+
+**Settings:**
+
+- Purpose: Configuration for global and per-project behavior
+- Location: @automaker/types → `libs/types/src/settings.ts`
+- Stored: Global in `{DATA_DIR}/settings.json`, per-project in `.automaker/settings.json`
+- Service: SettingsService in `apps/server/src/services/settings-service.ts`
+
+## Entry Points
+
+**Server:**
+
+- Location: `apps/server/src/index.ts`
+- Triggers: `npm run dev:server` or Docker startup
+- Responsibilities:
+  - Initialize Express app with middleware
+  - Create shared EventEmitter for WebSocket streaming
+  - Bootstrap services (SettingsService, AgentService, FeatureLoader, etc.)
+  - Mount API routes at `/api/*`
+  - Create WebSocket servers for agent streaming and terminal sessions
+  - Load and apply user settings (log level, request logging, etc.)
+
+**UI (Web):**
+
+- Location: `apps/ui/src/main.ts` (Vite entry), `apps/ui/src/app.tsx` (React component)
+- Triggers: `npm run dev:web` or `npm run build`
+- Responsibilities:
+  - Initialize Zustand stores from API settings
+  - Setup React Router with TanStack Router
+  - Render root layout with sidebar and main content area
+  - Handle authentication via verifySession()
+
+**UI (Electron):**
+
+- Location: `apps/ui/src/main.ts` (Vite entry), `apps/ui/electron/main-process.ts` (Electron main process)
+- Triggers: `npm run dev:electron`
+- Responsibilities:
+  - Launch local server via node-pty
+  - Create native Electron window
+  - Bridge IPC between renderer and main process
+  - Provide file system access via preload.ts APIs
+
+## Error Handling
+
+**Strategy:** Layered error classification and user-friendly messaging
+
+**Patterns:**
+
+**Backend Error Handling:**
+
+- Errors classified via `classifyError()` from @automaker/utils
+- Classification: ParseError, NetworkError, AuthenticationError, RateLimitError, etc.
+- Response format: `{ success: false, error: { type, message, code }, details? }`
+- Example: `apps/server/src/lib/error-handler.ts`
+
+**Frontend Error Handling:**
+
+- HTTP errors caught by api-fetch.ts with retry logic
+- WebSocket disconnects trigger reconnection with exponential backoff
+- Errors shown in toast notifications via `sonner` library
+- Validation errors caught and displayed inline in forms
+
+**Agent Execution Errors:**
+
+- AgentService wraps provider calls in try-catch
+- Aborts handled specially via `isAbortError()` check
+- Rate limit errors trigger cooldown before retry
+- Model-specific errors mapped to user guidance
+
+## Cross-Cutting Concerns
+
+**Logging:**
+
+- Framework: @automaker/utils createLogger()
+- Pattern: `const logger = createLogger('ModuleName')`
+- Levels: ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG (configurable via settings)
+- Output: stdout (dev), files (production)
+
+**Validation:**
+
+- File path validation: @automaker/platform initAllowedPaths() enforces restrictions
+- Model ID validation: @automaker/model-resolver resolveModelString()
+- JSON schema validation: Manual checks in route handlers (no JSON schema lib)
+- Authentication: Session token validation via validateWsConnectionToken()
+
+**Authentication:**
+
+- Frontend: Session token stored in httpOnly cookie
+- Backend: authMiddleware checks token on protected routes
+- WebSocket: validateWsConnectionToken() for upgrade requests
+- Providers: API keys stored encrypted in `{DATA_DIR}/credentials.json`
+
+**Internationalization:**
+
+- Not detected - strings are English-only
+
+**Performance:**
+
+- Code splitting: File-based routing via TanStack Router
+- Lazy loading: React.lazy() in route components
+- Caching: React Query for HTTP requests (query-keys.ts defines cache strategy)
+- Image optimization: Automatic base64 encoding for agent context
+- State hydration: Settings loaded once at startup, synced via API

+# Codebase Concerns
+
+**Analysis Date:** 2026-01-27
+
+## Tech Debt
+
+**Loose Type Safety in Error Handling:**
+
+- Issue: Multiple uses of `as any` type assertions bypass TypeScript safety, particularly in error context handling and provider responses
+- Files: `apps/server/src/providers/claude-provider.ts` (lines 318-322), `apps/server/src/lib/error-handler.ts`, `apps/server/src/routes/settings/routes/update-global.ts`
+- Impact: Errors could have unchecked properties; refactoring becomes risky without compiler assistance
+- Fix approach: Replace `as any` with proper type guards and discriminated unions; create helper functions for safe property access
+
+**Missing Test Coverage for Critical Services:**
+
+- Issue: Several core services explicitly excluded from test coverage thresholds due to integration complexity
+- Files: `apps/server/vitest.config.ts` (line 22), explicitly excluded: `claude-usage-service.ts`, `mcp-test-service.ts`, `cli-provider.ts`, `cursor-provider.ts`
+- Impact: Usage tracking, MCP integration, and CLI detection could break undetected; regression detection is limited
+- Fix approach: Create integration test fixtures for CLI providers; mock MCP SDK for mcp-test-service tests; add usage tracking unit tests with mocked API calls
+
+**Unused/Stub TODO Item Processing:**
+
+- Issue: TodoWrite tool implementation exists but is partially integrated; tool name constants scattered across codex provider
+- Files: `apps/server/src/providers/codex-tool-mapping.ts`, `apps/server/src/providers/codex-provider.ts`
+- Impact: Todo list updates may not synchronize properly with all providers; unclear which providers support TodoWrite
+- Fix approach: Consolidate tool name constants; add provider capability flags for todo support
+
+**Electron Electron.ts Size and Complexity:**
+
+- Issue: Single 3741-line file handles all Electron IPC, native bindings, and communication
+- Files: `apps/ui/src/lib/electron.ts`
+- Impact: Difficult to test; hard to isolate bugs; changes require full testing of all features; potential memory overhead from monolithic file
+- Fix approach: Split by responsibility (IPC, window management, file operations, debug tools); create separate bridge layers
+
+## Known Bugs
+
+**API Key Management Incomplete for Gemini:**
+
+- Symptoms: Gemini API key verification endpoint not implemented despite other providers having verification
+- Files: `apps/ui/src/components/views/settings-view/api-keys/hooks/use-api-key-management.ts` (line 122)
+- Trigger: User tries to verify Gemini API key in settings
+- Workaround: Key verification skipped for Gemini; settings page still accepts and stores key
+
+**Orphaned Features Detection Vulnerable to False Negatives:**
+
+- Symptoms: Features marked as orphaned when branch matching logic doesn't account for all scenarios
+- Files: `apps/server/src/services/auto-mode-service.ts` (lines 5714-5773)
+- Trigger: Features that were manually switched branches or rebased
+- Workaround: Manual cleanup via feature deletion; branch comparison is basic name matching only
+
+**Terminal Themes Incomplete:**
+
+- Symptoms: Light theme themes (solarizedlight, github) map to same generic lightTheme; no dedicated implementations
+- Files: `apps/ui/src/config/terminal-themes.ts` (lines 593-594)
+- Trigger: User selects solarizedlight or github terminal theme
+- Workaround: Uses generic light theme instead of specific scheme; visual appearance doesn't match expectation
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+**Process Environment Variable Exposure:**
+
+- Risk: Child processes inherit all parent `process.env` including sensitive credentials (API keys, tokens)
+- Files: `apps/server/src/providers/cursor-provider.ts` (line 993), `apps/server/src/providers/codex-provider.ts` (line 1099)
+- Current mitigation: Dotenv provides isolation at app startup; selective env passing to some providers
+- Recommendations: Use explicit allowlists for env vars passed to child processes (only pass REQUIRED_KEYS); audit all spawn calls for env handling; document which providers need which credentials
+
+**Unvalidated Provider Tool Input:**
+
+- Risk: Tool input from CLI providers (Cursor, Copilot, Codex) is partially validated through Record<string, unknown> patterns; execution context could be escaped
+- Files: `apps/server/src/providers/codex-provider.ts` (lines 506-543), `apps/server/src/providers/tool-normalization.ts`
+- Current mitigation: Status enums validated; tool names checked against allow-lists in some providers
+- Recommendations: Implement comprehensive schema validation for all tool inputs before execution; use zod or similar for runtime validation; add security tests for injection patterns
+
+**API Key Storage in Settings Files:**
+
+- Risk: API keys stored in plaintext in `~/.automaker/settings.json` and `data/settings.json`; file permissions may not be restricted
+- Files: `apps/server/src/services/settings-service.ts`, uses `atomicWriteJson` without file permission enforcement
+- Current mitigation: Limited by file system permissions; Electron mode has single-user access
+- Recommendations: Encrypt sensitive settings fields (apiKeys, tokens); use OS credential stores (Keychain/Credential Manager) for production; add file permission checks on startup
+
+## Performance Bottlenecks
+
+**Synchronous Feature Loading at Startup:**
+
+- Problem: All features loaded synchronously at project load; blocks UI with 1000+ features
+- Files: `apps/server/src/services/feature-loader.ts` (line 230 Promise.all, but synchronous enumeration)
+- Cause: Feature directory walk and JSON parsing is not paginated or lazy-loaded
+- Improvement path: Implement lazy loading with pagination (load first 50, fetch more on scroll); add caching layer with TTL; move to background indexing; add feature count limits with warnings
+
+**Auto-Mode Concurrency at Max Can Exceed Rate Limits:**
+
+- Problem: maxConcurrency = 10 can quickly exhaust Claude API rate limits if all features execute simultaneously
+- Files: `apps/server/src/services/auto-mode-service.ts` (line 2931 Promise.all for concurrent agents)
+- Cause: No adaptive backoff; no API usage tracking before queuing; hint mentions reducing concurrency but doesn't enforce it
+- Improvement path: Integrate with claude-usage-service to check remaining quota before starting features; implement exponential backoff on 429 errors; add per-model rate limit tracking
+
+**Terminal Session Memory Leak Risk:**
+
+- Problem: Terminal sessions accumulate in memory; expired sessions not cleaned up reliably
+- Files: `apps/server/src/routes/terminal/common.ts` (line 66 cleanup runs every 5 minutes, but only for tokens)
+- Cause: Cleanup interval is arbitrary; session map not bounded; no session lifespan limit
+- Improvement path: Implement LRU eviction with max session count; reduce cleanup interval to 1 minute; add memory usage monitoring; auto-close idle sessions after 30 minutes
+
+**Large File Content Loading Without Limits:**
+
+- Problem: File content loaded entirely into memory; `describe-file.ts` truncates at 50KB but loads all content first
+- Files: `apps/server/src/routes/context/routes/describe-file.ts` (line 128)
+- Cause: Synchronous file read; no streaming; no check before reading large files
+- Improvement path: Check file size before reading; stream large files; add file size warnings; implement chunked processing for analysis
+
+## Fragile Areas
+
+**Provider Factory Model Resolution:**
+
+- Files: `apps/server/src/providers/provider-factory.ts`, `apps/server/src/providers/simple-query-service.ts`
+- Why fragile: Each provider interprets model strings differently; no central registry; model aliases resolved at multiple layers (model-resolver, provider-specific maps, CLI validation)
+- Safe modification: Add integration tests for each model alias per provider; create model capability matrix; centralize model validation before dispatch
+- Test coverage: No dedicated tests; relies on E2E; no isolated unit tests for model resolution
+
+**WebSocket Session Authentication:**
+
+- Files: `apps/server/src/lib/auth.ts` (line 40 setInterval), `apps/server/src/index.ts` (token validation per message)
+- Why fragile: Session tokens generated and validated at multiple points; no single source of truth; expiration is not atomic
+- Safe modification: Add tests for token expiration edge cases; ensure cleanup removes all references; log all auth failures
+- Test coverage: Auth middleware tested, but not session lifecycle
+
+**Auto-Mode Feature State Machine:**
+
+- Files: `apps/server/src/services/auto-mode-service.ts` (lines 465-600)
+- Why fragile: Multiple states (running, queued, completed, error) managed across different methods; no explicit state transition validation; error recovery is defensive (catches all, logs, continues)
+- Safe modification: Create explicit state enum with valid transitions; add invariant checks; unit test state transitions with all error cases
+- Test coverage: Gaps in error recovery paths; no tests for concurrent state changes
+
+## Scaling Limits
+
+**Feature Count Scalability:**
+
+- Current capacity: ~1000 features tested; UI performance degrades with pagination required
+- Limit: 10K+ features cause >5s load times; memory usage ~100MB for metadata alone
+- Scaling path: Implement feature database instead of file-per-feature; add ElasticSearch indexing for search; paginate API responses (50 per page); add feature archiving
+
+**Concurrent Auto-Mode Executions:**
+
+- Current capacity: maxConcurrency = 10 features; limited by Claude API rate limits
+- Limit: Rate limit hits at ~4-5 simultaneous features with extended context (100K+ tokens)
+- Scaling path: Implement token usage budgeting before feature start; queue features with estimated token cost; add provider-specific rate limit handling
+
+**Terminal Session Count:**
+
+- Current capacity: ~100 active terminal sessions per server
+- Limit: Memory grows unbounded; no session count limit enforced
+- Scaling path: Add max session count with least-recently-used eviction; implement session federation for distributed setup
+
+**Worktree Disk Usage:**
+
+- Current capacity: 10K worktrees (~20GB with typical repos)
+- Limit: `.worktrees` directory grows without cleanup; old worktrees accumulate
+- Scaling path: Add worktree TTL (delete if not used for 30 days); implement cleanup job; add quota warnings at 50/80% disk
+
+## Dependencies at Risk
+
+**node-pty Beta Version:**
+
+- Risk: `node-pty@1.1.0-beta41` used for terminal emulation; beta status indicates possible instability
+- Impact: Terminal features could break on minor platform changes; no guarantees on bug fixes
+- Migration plan: Monitor releases for stable version; pin to specific commit if needed; test extensively on target platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows)
+
+**@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk 0.1.x:**
+
+- Risk: Pre-1.0 version; SDK API may change in future releases; limited version stability guarantees
+- Impact: Breaking changes could require significant refactoring; feature additions in SDK may not align with Automaker roadmap
+- Migration plan: Pin to specific 0.1.x version; review SDK changelogs before upgrades; maintain SDK compatibility tests; consider fallback implementation for critical paths
+
+**@openai/codex-sdk 0.77.x:**
+
+- Risk: Codex model deprecated by OpenAI; SDK may be archived or unsupported
+- Impact: Codex provider could become non-functional; error messages may not be actionable
+- Migration plan: Monitor OpenAI roadmap for migration path; implement fallback to Claude for Codex requests; add deprecation warning in UI
+
+**Express 5.2.x RC Stage:**
+
+- Risk: Express 5 is still in release candidate phase (as of Node 22); full stability not guaranteed
+- Impact: Minor version updates could include breaking changes; middleware compatibility issues possible
+- Migration plan: Maintain compatibility layer for Express 5 API; test with latest major before release; document any version-specific workarounds
+
+## Missing Critical Features
+
+**Persistent Session Storage:**
+
+- Problem: Agent conversation sessions stored only in-memory; restart loses all chat history
+- Blocks: Long-running analysis across server restarts; session recovery not possible
+- Impact: Users must re-run entire analysis if server restarts; lost productivity
+
+**Rate Limit Awareness:**
+
+- Problem: No tracking of API usage relative to rate limits before executing features
+- Blocks: Predictable concurrent feature execution; users frequently hit rate limits unexpectedly
+- Impact: Feature execution fails with cryptic rate limit errors; poor user experience
+
+**Feature Dependency Visualization:**
+
+- Problem: Dependency-resolver package exists but no UI to visualize or manage dependencies
+- Blocks: Users cannot plan feature order; complex dependencies not visible
+- Impact: Features implemented in wrong order; blocking dependencies missed
+
+## Test Coverage Gaps
+
+**CLI Provider Integration:**
+
+- What's not tested: Actual CLI execution paths; environment setup; error recovery from CLI crashes
+- Files: `apps/server/src/providers/cli-provider.ts`, `apps/server/src/lib/cli-detection.ts`
+- Risk: Changes to CLI handling could break silently; detection logic not validated on target platforms
+- Priority: High - affects all CLI-based providers (Cursor, Copilot, Codex)
+
+**Cursor Provider Platform-Specific Paths:**
+
+- What's not tested: Windows/Linux Cursor installation detection; version directory parsing; APPDATA environment variable handling
+- Files: `apps/server/src/providers/cursor-provider.ts` (lines 267-498)
+- Risk: Platform-specific bugs not caught; Cursor detection fails on non-standard installations
+- Priority: High - Cursor is primary provider; platform differences critical
+
+**Event Hook System State Changes:**
+
+- What's not tested: Concurrent hook execution; cleanup on server shutdown; webhook delivery retries
+- Files: `apps/server/src/services/event-hook-service.ts` (line 248 Promise.allSettled)
+- Risk: Hooks may not execute in expected order; memory not cleaned up; webhooks lost on failure
+- Priority: Medium - affects automation workflows
+
+**Error Classification for New Providers:**
+
+- What's not tested: Each provider's unique error patterns mapped to ErrorType enum; new provider errors not classified
+- Files: `apps/server/src/lib/error-handler.ts` (lines 58-80), each provider error mapping
+- Risk: User sees generic "unknown error" instead of actionable message; categorization regresses with new providers
+- Priority: Medium - impacts user experience
+
+**Feature State Corruption Scenarios:**
+
+- What's not tested: Concurrent feature updates; partial writes with power loss; JSON parsing recovery
+- Files: `apps/server/src/services/feature-loader.ts`, `@automaker/utils` (atomicWriteJson)
+- Risk: Feature data corrupted on concurrent access; recovery incomplete; no validation before use
+- Priority: High - data loss risk

+# Coding Conventions
+
+**Analysis Date:** 2026-01-27
+
+## Naming Patterns
+
+**Files:**
+
+- PascalCase for class/service files: `auto-mode-service.ts`, `feature-loader.ts`, `claude-provider.ts`
+- kebab-case for route/handler directories: `auto-mode/`, `features/`, `event-history/`
+- kebab-case for utility files: `secure-fs.ts`, `sdk-options.ts`, `settings-helpers.ts`
+- kebab-case for React components: `card.tsx`, `ansi-output.tsx`, `count-up-timer.tsx`
+- kebab-case for hooks: `use-board-background-settings.ts`, `use-responsive-kanban.ts`, `use-test-logs.ts`
+- kebab-case for store files: `app-store.ts`, `auth-store.ts`, `setup-store.ts`
+- Organized by functionality: `routes/features/routes/list.ts`, `routes/features/routes/get.ts`
+
+**Functions:**
+
+- camelCase for all function names: `createEventEmitter()`, `getAutomakerDir()`, `executeQuery()`
+- Verb-first for action functions: `buildPrompt()`, `classifyError()`, `loadContextFiles()`, `atomicWriteJson()`
+- Prefix with `use` for React hooks: `useBoardBackgroundSettings()`, `useAppStore()`, `useUpdateProjectSettings()`
+- Private methods prefixed with underscore: `_deleteOrphanedImages()`, `_migrateImages()`
+
+**Variables:**
+
+- camelCase for constants and variables: `featureId`, `projectPath`, `modelId`, `tempDir`
+- UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for global constants/enums: `DEFAULT_MAX_CONCURRENCY`, `DEFAULT_PHASE_MODELS`
+- Meaningful naming over abbreviations: `featureDirectory` not `fd`, `featureImages` not `img`
+- Prefixes for computed values: `is*` for booleans: `isClaudeModel`, `isContainerized`, `isAutoLoginEnabled`
+
+**Types:**
+
+- PascalCase for interfaces and types: `Feature`, `ExecuteOptions`, `EventEmitter`, `ProviderConfig`
+- Type files suffixed with `.d.ts`: `paths.d.ts`, `types.d.ts`
+- Organized by domain: `src/store/types/`, `src/lib/`
+- Re-export pattern from main package indexes: `export type { Feature };`
+
+## Code Style
+
+**Formatting:**
+
+- Tool: Prettier 3.7.4
+- Print width: 100 characters
+- Tab width: 2 spaces
+- Single quotes for strings
+- Semicolons required
+- Trailing commas: es5 (trailing in arrays/objects, not in params)
+- Arrow functions always include parentheses: `(x) => x * 2`
+- Line endings: LF (Unix)
+- Bracket spacing: `{ key: value }`
+
+**Linting:**
+
+- Tool: ESLint (flat config in `apps/ui/eslint.config.mjs`)
+- TypeScript ESLint plugin for `.ts`/`.tsx` files
+- Recommended configs: `@eslint/js`, `@typescript-eslint/recommended`
+- Unused variables warning with exception for parameters starting with `_`
+- Type assertions are allowed with description when using `@ts-ignore`
+- `@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any` is warn-level (allow with caution)
+
+## Import Organization
+
+**Order:**
+
+1. Node.js standard library: `import fs from 'fs/promises'`, `import path from 'path'`
+2. Third-party packages: `import { describe, it } from 'vitest'`, `import { Router } from 'express'`
+3. Shared packages (monorepo): `import type { Feature } from '@automaker/types'`, `import { createLogger } from '@automaker/utils'`
+4. Local relative imports: `import { FeatureLoader } from './feature-loader.js'`, `import * as secureFs from '../lib/secure-fs.js'`
+5. Type imports: separated with `import type { ... } from`
+
+**Path Aliases:**
+
+- `@/` - resolves to `./src` in both UI (`apps/ui/`) and server (`apps/server/`)
+- Shared packages prefixed with `@automaker/`:
+  - `@automaker/types` - core TypeScript definitions
+  - `@automaker/utils` - logging, errors, utilities
+  - `@automaker/prompts` - AI prompt templates
+  - `@automaker/platform` - path management, security, processes
+  - `@automaker/model-resolver` - model alias resolution
+  - `@automaker/dependency-resolver` - feature dependency ordering
+  - `@automaker/git-utils` - git operations
+- Extensions: `.js` extension used in imports for ESM imports
+
+**Import Rules:**
+
+- Always import from shared packages, never from old paths
+- No circular dependencies between layers
+- Services import from providers and utilities
+- Routes import from services
+- Shared packages have strict dependency hierarchy (types → utils → platform → git-utils → server/ui)
+
+## Error Handling
+
+**Patterns:**
+
+- Use `try-catch` blocks for async operations: wraps feature execution, file operations, git commands
+- Throw `new Error(message)` with descriptive messages: `throw new Error('already running')`, `throw new Error('Feature ${featureId} not found')`
+- Classify errors with `classifyError()` from `@automaker/utils` for categorization
+- Log errors with context using `createLogger()`: includes error classification
+- Return error info objects: `{ valid: false, errors: [...], warnings: [...] }`
+- Validation returns structured result: `{ valid, errors, warnings }` from provider `validateConfig()`
+
+**Error Types:**
+
+- Authentication errors: distinguish from validation/runtime errors
+- Path validation errors: caught by middleware in Express routes
+- File system errors: logged and recovery attempted with backups
+- SDK/API errors: classified and wrapped with context
+- Abort/cancellation errors: handled without stack traces (graceful shutdown)
+
+**Error Messages:**
+
+- Descriptive and actionable: not vague error codes
+- Include context when helpful: file paths, feature IDs, model names
+- User-friendly messages via `getUserFriendlyErrorMessage()` for client display
+
+## Logging
+
+**Framework:**
+
+- Built-in `createLogger()` from `@automaker/utils`
+- Each module creates logger: `const logger = createLogger('ModuleName')`
+- Logger functions: `info()`, `warn()`, `error()`, `debug()`
+
+**Patterns:**
+
+- Log operation start and completion for significant operations
+- Log warnings for non-critical issues: file deletion failures, missing optional configs
+- Log errors with full error object: `logger.error('operation failed', error)`
+- Use module name as logger context: `createLogger('AutoMode')`, `createLogger('HttpClient')`
+- Avoid logging sensitive data (API keys, passwords)
+- No console.log in production code - use logger
+
+**What to Log:**
+
+- Feature execution start/completion
+- Error classification and recovery attempts
+- File operations (create, delete, migrate)
+- API calls and responses (in debug mode)
+- Async operation start/end
+- Warnings for deprecated patterns
+
+## Comments
+
+**When to Comment:**
+
+- Complex algorithms or business logic: explain the "why" not the "what"
+- Integration points: explain how modules communicate
+- Workarounds: explain the constraint that made the workaround necessary
+- Non-obvious performance implications
+- Edge cases and their handling
+
+**JSDoc/TSDoc:**
+
+- Used for public functions and classes
+- Document parameters with `@param`
+- Document return types with `@returns`
+- Document exceptions with `@throws`
+- Used for service classes: `/**\n * Module description\n * Manages: ...\n */`
+- Not required for simple getters/setters
+
+**Example JSDoc Pattern:**
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Delete images that were removed from a feature
+ */
+private async deleteOrphanedImages(
+  projectPath: string,
+  oldPaths: Array<string>,
+  newPaths: Array<string>
+): Promise<void> {
+  // Implementation
+}
+```
+
+## Function Design
+
+**Size:**
+
+- Keep functions under 100 lines when possible
+- Large services split into multiple related methods
+- Private helper methods extracted for complex logic
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- Use destructuring for object parameters with multiple properties
+- Document parameter types with TypeScript types
+- Optional parameters marked with `?`
+- Use `Record<string, unknown>` for flexible object parameters
+
+**Return Values:**
+
+- Explicit return types required for all public functions
+- Return structured objects for multiple values
+- Use `Promise<T>` for async functions
+- Async generators use `AsyncGenerator<T>` for streaming responses
+- Never implicitly return `undefined` (explicit return or throw)
+
+## Module Design
+
+**Exports:**
+
+- Default export for class instantiation: `export default class FeatureLoader {}`
+- Named exports for functions: `export function createEventEmitter() {}`
+- Type exports separated: `export type { Feature };`
+- Barrel files (index.ts) re-export from module
+
+**Barrel Files:**
+
+- Used in routes: `routes/features/index.ts` creates router and exports
+- Used in stores: `store/index.ts` exports all store hooks
+- Pattern: group related exports for easier importing
+
+**Service Classes:**
+
+- Instantiated once and dependency injected
+- Public methods for API surface
+- Private methods prefixed with `_`
+- No static methods - prefer instances or functions
+- Constructor takes dependencies: `constructor(config?: ProviderConfig)`
+
+**Provider Pattern:**
+
+- Abstract base class: `BaseProvider` with abstract methods
+- Concrete implementations: `ClaudeProvider`, `CodexProvider`, `CursorProvider`
+- Common interface: `executeQuery()`, `detectInstallation()`, `validateConfig()`
+- Factory for instantiation: `ProviderFactory.create()`
+
+## TypeScript Specific
+
+**Strict Mode:** Always enabled globally
+
+- `strict: true` in all tsconfigs
+- No implicit `any` - declare types explicitly
+- No optional chaining on base types without narrowing
+
+**Type Definitions:**
+
+- Interface for shapes: `interface Feature { ... }`
+- Type for unions/aliases: `type ModelAlias = 'haiku' | 'sonnet' | 'opus'`
+- Type guards for narrowing: `if (typeof x === 'string') { ... }`
+- Generic types for reusable patterns: `EventCallback<T>`
+
+**React Specific (UI):**
+
+- Functional components only
+- React 19 with hooks
+- Type props interface: `interface CardProps extends React.ComponentProps<'div'> { ... }`
+- Zustand stores for state management
+- Custom hooks for shared logic

+# Testing Patterns
+
+**Analysis Date:** 2026-01-27
+
+## Test Framework
+
+**Runner:**
+
+- Vitest 4.0.16 (for unit and integration tests)
+- Playwright (for E2E tests)
+- Config: `apps/server/vitest.config.ts`, `libs/*/vitest.config.ts`, `apps/ui/playwright.config.ts`
+
+**Assertion Library:**
+
+- Vitest built-in expect assertions
+- API: `expect().toBe()`, `expect().toEqual()`, `expect().toHaveLength()`, `expect().toHaveProperty()`
+
+**Run Commands:**
+
+```bash
+npm run test                    # E2E tests (Playwright, headless)
+npm run test:headed            # E2E tests with browser visible
+npm run test:packages          # All shared package unit tests (vitest)
+npm run test:server            # Server unit tests (vitest run)
+npm run test:server:coverage   # Server tests with coverage report
+npm run test:all               # All tests (packages + server)
+npm run test:unit              # Vitest run (all projects)
+npm run test:unit:watch        # Vitest watch mode
+```
+
+## Test File Organization
+
+**Location:**
+
+- Co-located with source: `src/module.ts` has `tests/unit/module.test.ts`
+- Server tests: `apps/server/tests/` (separate directory)
+- Library tests: `libs/*/tests/` (each package)
+- E2E tests: `apps/ui/tests/` (Playwright)
+
+**Naming:**
+
+- Pattern: `{moduleName}.test.ts` for unit tests
+- Pattern: `{moduleName}.spec.ts` for specification tests
+- Glob pattern: `tests/**/*.test.ts`, `tests/**/*.spec.ts`
+
+**Structure:**
+
+```
+apps/server/
+├── tests/
+│   ├── setup.ts              # Global test setup

+│   ├── security.test.ts
+│   ├── subprocess.test.ts
+│   └── node-finder.test.ts
+└── src/
+```
+
+## Test Structure
+
+**Suite Organization:**
+
+```typescript
+import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach, afterEach } from 'vitest';
+import { FeatureLoader } from '@/services/feature-loader.js';
+
+describe('feature-loader.ts', () => {
+  let featureLoader: FeatureLoader;
+
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    vi.clearAllMocks();
+    featureLoader = new FeatureLoader();
+  });
+
+  afterEach(async () => {
+    // Cleanup resources
+  });
+
+  describe('methodName', () => {
+    it('should do specific thing', () => {
+      expect(result).toBe(expected);
+    });
+  });
+});
+```
+
+**Patterns:**
+
+- Setup pattern: `beforeEach()` initializes test instance, clears mocks
+- Teardown pattern: `afterEach()` cleans up temp directories, removes created files
+- Assertion pattern: one logical assertion per test (or multiple closely related)
+- Test isolation: each test runs with fresh setup
+
+## Mocking
+
+**Framework:**
+
+- Vitest `vi` module: `vi.mock()`, `vi.mocked()`, `vi.clearAllMocks()`
+- Mock patterns: module mocking, function spying, return value mocking
+
+**Patterns:**
+
+Module mocking:
+
+```typescript
+vi.mock('@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk');
+// In test:
+vi.mocked(sdk.query).mockReturnValue(
+  (async function* () {
+    yield { type: 'text', text: 'Response 1' };
+  })()
+);
+```
+
+Async generator mocking (for streaming APIs):
+
+```typescript
+const generator = provider.executeQuery({
+  prompt: 'Hello',
+  model: 'claude-opus-4-5-20251101',
+  cwd: '/test',
+});
+const results = await collectAsyncGenerator(generator);
+```
+
+Partial mocking with spies:
+
+```typescript
+const provider = new TestProvider();
+const spy = vi.spyOn(provider, 'getName');
+spy.mockReturnValue('mocked-name');
+```
+
+**What to Mock:**
+
+- External APIs (Claude SDK, GitHub SDK, cloud services)
+- File system operations (use temp directories instead when possible)
+- Network calls
+- Process execution
+- Time-dependent operations
+
+**What NOT to Mock:**
+
+- Core business logic (test the actual implementation)
+- Type definitions
+- Internal module dependencies (test integration with real services)
+- Standard library functions (fs, path, etc. - use fixtures instead)
+
+## Fixtures and Factories
+
+**Test Data:**
+
+```typescript
+// Test helper for collecting async generator results
+async function collectAsyncGenerator<T>(generator: AsyncGenerator<T>): Promise<T[]> {
+  const results: T[] = [];
+  for await (const item of generator) {
+    results.push(item);
+  }
+  return results;
+}
+
+// Temporary directory fixture
+beforeEach(async () => {
+  tempDir = await fs.mkdtemp(path.join(os.tmpdir(), 'test-'));
+  projectPath = path.join(tempDir, 'test-project');
+  await fs.mkdir(projectPath, { recursive: true });
+});
+
+afterEach(async () => {
+  try {
+    await fs.rm(tempDir, { recursive: true, force: true });
+  } catch (error) {
+    // Ignore cleanup errors
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**Location:**
+
+- Inline in test files for simple fixtures
+- `tests/utils/helpers.ts` for shared test utilities
+- Factory functions for complex test objects: `createTestProvider()`, `createMockFeature()`
+
+## Coverage
+
+**Requirements (Server):**
+
+- Lines: 60%
+- Functions: 75%
+- Branches: 55%
+- Statements: 60%
+- Config: `apps/server/vitest.config.ts` with thresholds
+
+**Excluded from Coverage:**
+
+- Route handlers: tested via integration/E2E tests
+- Type re-exports
+- Middleware: tested via integration tests
+- Prompt templates
+- MCP integration: awaits MCP SDK integration tests
+- Provider CLI integrations: awaits integration tests
+
+**View Coverage:**
+
+```bash
+npm run test:server:coverage   # Generate coverage report
+# Opens HTML report in: apps/server/coverage/index.html
+```
+
+**Coverage Tools:**
+
+- Provider: v8
+- Reporters: text, json, html, lcov
+- File inclusion: `src/**/*.ts`
+- File exclusion: `src/**/*.d.ts`, specific service files in thresholds
+
+## Test Types
+
+**Unit Tests:**
+
+- Scope: Individual functions and methods
+- Approach: Test inputs → outputs with mocked dependencies
+- Location: `apps/server/tests/unit/`
+- Examples:
+  - Provider executeQuery() with mocked SDK
+  - Path construction functions with assertions
+  - Error classification with different error types
+  - Config validation with various inputs
+
+**Integration Tests:**
+
+- Scope: Multiple modules working together
+- Approach: Test actual service calls with real file system or temp directories
+- Pattern: Setup data → call method → verify results
+- Example: Feature loader reading/writing feature.json files
+- Example: Auto-mode service coordinating with multiple services
+
+**E2E Tests:**
+
+- Framework: Playwright
+- Scope: Full user workflows from UI
+- Location: `apps/ui/tests/`
+- Config: `apps/ui/playwright.config.ts`
+- Setup:
+  - Backend server with mock agent enabled
+  - Frontend Vite dev server
+  - Sequential execution (workers: 1) to avoid auth conflicts
+  - Screenshots/traces on failure
+- Auth: Global setup authentication in `tests/global-setup.ts`
+- Fixtures: `tests/e2e-fixtures/` for test project data
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+**Async Testing:**
+
+```typescript
+it('should execute async operation', async () => {
+  const result = await featureLoader.loadFeature(projectPath, featureId);
+  expect(result).toBeDefined();
+  expect(result.id).toBe(featureId);
+});
+
+// For streams/generators:
+const generator = provider.executeQuery({ prompt, model, cwd });
+const results = await collectAsyncGenerator(generator);
+expect(results).toHaveLength(2);
+```
+
+**Error Testing:**
+
+```typescript
+it('should throw error when feature not found', async () => {
+  await expect(featureLoader.getFeature(projectPath, 'nonexistent')).rejects.toThrow('not found');
+});
+
+// Testing error classification:
+const errorInfo = classifyError(new Error('ENOENT'));
+expect(errorInfo.category).toBe('FileSystem');
+```
+
+**Fixture Setup:**
+
+```typescript
+it('should create feature with images', async () => {
+  // Setup: create temp feature directory
+  const featureDir = path.join(projectPath, '.automaker', 'features', featureId);
+  await fs.mkdir(featureDir, { recursive: true });
+
+  // Act: perform operation
+  const result = await featureLoader.updateFeature(projectPath, {
+    id: featureId,
+    imagePaths: ['/temp/image.png'],
+  });
+
+  // Assert: verify file operations
+  const migratedPath = path.join(featureDir, 'images', 'image.png');
+  expect(fs.existsSync(migratedPath)).toBe(true);
+});
+```
+
+**Mock Reset Pattern:**
+
+```typescript
+// In vitest.config.ts:
+mockReset: true,          // Reset all mocks before each test
+restoreMocks: true,       // Restore original implementations
+clearMocks: true,         // Clear mock call history
+
+// In test:
+beforeEach(() => {
+  vi.clearAllMocks();
+  delete process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY;
+});
+```
+
+## Test Configuration
+
+**Vitest Config Patterns:**
+
+Server config (`apps/server/vitest.config.ts`):
+
+- Environment: node
+- Globals: true (describe/it without imports)
+- Setup files: `./tests/setup.ts`
+- Alias resolution: resolves `@automaker/*` to source files for mocking
+
+Library config:
+
+- Simpler setup: just environment and globals
+- Coverage with high thresholds (90%+ lines)
+
+**Global Setup:**
+
+```typescript
+// tests/setup.ts
+import { vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
+
+process.env.NODE_ENV = 'test';
+process.env.DATA_DIR = '/tmp/test-data';
+
+beforeEach(() => {
+  vi.clearAllMocks();
+});
+```
+
+## Testing Best Practices
+
+**Isolation:**
+
+- Each test is independent (no state sharing)
+- Cleanup temp files in afterEach
+- Reset mocks and environment variables in beforeEach
+
+**Clarity:**
+
+- Descriptive test names: "should do X when Y condition"
+- One logical assertion per test
+- Clear arrange-act-assert structure
+
+**Speed:**
+
+- Mock external services
+- Use in-memory temp directories
+- Avoid real network calls
+- Sequential E2E tests to prevent conflicts
+
+**Maintainability:**
+
+- Use beforeEach/afterEach for common setup
+- Extract test helpers to `tests/utils/`
+- Keep test data simple and local
+- Mock consistently across tests

-# Development Workflow
-
-This document defines the standard workflow for keeping a branch in sync with the upstream
-release candidate (RC) and for shipping feature work. It is paired with `check-sync.sh`.
-
-## Quick Decision Rule
-
-1. Ask the user to select a workflow:
-   - **Sync Workflow** → you are maintaining the current RC branch with fixes/improvements
-     and will push the same fixes to both origin and upstream RC when you have local
-     commits to publish.
-   - **PR Workflow** → you are starting new feature work on a new branch; upstream updates
-     happen via PR only.
-2. After the user selects, run:
-   ```bash
-   ./check-sync.sh
-   ```
-3. Use the status output to confirm alignment. If it reports **diverged**, default to
-   merging `upstream/<TARGET_RC>` into the current branch and preserving local commits.
-   For Sync Workflow, when the working tree is clean and you are behind upstream RC,
-   proceed with the fetch + merge without asking for additional confirmation.
-
-## Target RC Resolution
-
-The target RC is resolved dynamically so the workflow stays current as the RC changes.
-
-Resolution order:
-
-1. Latest `upstream/v*rc` branch (auto-detected)
-2. `upstream/HEAD` (fallback)
-3. If neither is available, you must pass `--rc <branch>`
-
-Override for a single run:
-
-```bash
-./check-sync.sh --rc <rc-branch>
-```
-
-## Pre-Flight Checklist
-
-1. Confirm a clean working tree:
-   ```bash
-   git status
-   ```
-2. Confirm the current branch:
-   ```bash
-   git branch --show-current
-   ```
-3. Ensure remotes exist (origin + upstream):
-   ```bash
-   git remote -v
-   ```
-
-## Sync Workflow (Upstream Sync)
-
-Use this flow when you are updating the current branch with fixes or improvements and
-intend to keep origin and upstream RC in lockstep.
-
-1. **Check sync status**
-   ```bash
-   ./check-sync.sh
-   ```
-2. **Update from upstream RC before editing (no pulls)**
-   - **Behind upstream RC** → fetch and merge RC into your branch:
-     ```bash
-     git fetch upstream
-     git merge upstream/<TARGET_RC> --no-edit
-     ```
-     When the working tree is clean and the user selected Sync Workflow, proceed without
-     an extra confirmation prompt.
-   - **Diverged** → stop and resolve manually.
-3. **Resolve conflicts if needed**
-   - Handle conflicts intelligently: preserve upstream behavior and your local intent.
-4. **Make changes and commit (if you are delivering fixes)**
-   ```bash
-   git add -A
-   git commit -m "type: description"
-   ```
-5. **Build to verify**
-   ```bash
-   npm run build:packages
-   npm run build
-   ```
-6. **Push after a successful merge to keep remotes aligned**
-   - If you only merged upstream RC changes, push **origin only** to sync your fork:
-     ```bash
-     git push origin <branch>
-     ```
-   - If you have local fixes to publish, push **origin + upstream**:
-     ```bash
-     git push origin <branch>
-     git push upstream <branch>:<TARGET_RC>
-     ```
-   - Always ask the user which push to perform.
-   - Origin (origin-only sync):
-     ```bash
-     git push origin <branch>
-     ```
-   - Upstream RC (publish the same fixes when you have local commits):
-     ```bash
-     git push upstream <branch>:<TARGET_RC>
-     ```
-7. **Re-check sync**
-   ```bash
-   ./check-sync.sh
-   ```
-
-## PR Workflow (Feature Work)
-
-Use this flow only for new feature work on a new branch. Do not push to upstream RC.
-
-1. **Create or switch to a feature branch**
-   ```bash
-   git checkout -b <branch>
-   ```
-2. **Make changes and commit**
-   ```bash
-   git add -A
-   git commit -m "type: description"
-   ```
-3. **Merge upstream RC before shipping**
-   ```bash
-   git merge upstream/<TARGET_RC> --no-edit
-   ```
-4. **Build and/or test**
-   ```bash
-   npm run build:packages
-   npm run build
-   ```
-5. **Push to origin**
-   ```bash
-   git push -u origin <branch>
-   ```
-6. **Create or update the PR**
-   - Use `gh pr create` or the GitHub UI.
-7. **Review and follow-up**
-
-- Apply feedback, commit changes, and push again.
-- Re-run `./check-sync.sh` if additional upstream sync is needed.
-
-## Conflict Resolution Checklist
-
-1. Identify which changes are from upstream vs. local.
-2. Preserve both behaviors where possible; avoid dropping either side.
-3. Prefer minimal, safe integrations over refactors.
-4. Re-run build commands after resolving conflicts.
-5. Re-run `./check-sync.sh` to confirm status.
-
-## Build/Test Matrix
-
-- **Sync Workflow**: `npm run build:packages` and `npm run build`.
-- **PR Workflow**: `npm run build:packages` and `npm run build` (plus relevant tests).
-
-## Post-Sync Verification
-
-1. `git status` should be clean.
-2. `./check-sync.sh` should show expected alignment.
-3. Verify recent commits with:
-   ```bash
-   git log --oneline -5
-   ```
-
-## check-sync.sh Usage
-
-- Uses dynamic Target RC resolution (see above).
-- Override target RC:
-  ```bash
-  ./check-sync.sh --rc <rc-branch>
-  ```
-- Optional preview limit:
-  ```bash
-  ./check-sync.sh --preview 10
-  ```
-- The script prints sync status for both origin and upstream and previews recent commits
-  when you are behind.
-
-## Stop Conditions
-
-Stop and ask for guidance if any of the following are true:
-
-- The working tree is dirty and you are about to merge or push.
-- `./check-sync.sh` reports **diverged** during PR Workflow, or a merge cannot be completed.
-- The script cannot resolve a target RC and requests `--rc`.
-- A build fails after sync or conflict resolution.
-
-## AI Agent Guardrails
-
-- Always run `./check-sync.sh` before merges or pushes.
-- Always ask for explicit user approval before any push command.
-- Do not ask for additional confirmation before a Sync Workflow fetch + merge when the
-  working tree is clean and the user has already selected the Sync Workflow.
-- Choose Sync vs PR workflow based on intent (RC maintenance vs new feature work), not
-  on the script's workflow hint.
-- Only use force push when the user explicitly requests a history rewrite.
-- Ask for explicit approval before dependency installs, branch deletion, or destructive operations.
-- When resolving merge conflicts, preserve both upstream changes and local intent where possible.
-- Do not create or switch to new branches unless the user explicitly requests it.
-
-## AI Agent Decision Guidance
-
-Agents should provide concrete, task-specific suggestions instead of repeatedly asking
-open-ended questions. Use the user's stated goal and the `./check-sync.sh` status to
-propose a default path plus one or two alternatives, and only ask for confirmation when
-an action requires explicit approval.
-
-Default behavior:
-
-- If the intent is RC maintenance, recommend the Sync Workflow and proceed with
-  safe preparation steps (status checks, previews). If the branch is behind upstream RC,
-  fetch and merge without additional confirmation when the working tree is clean, then
-  push to origin to keep the fork aligned. Push upstream only when there are local fixes
-  to publish.
-- If the intent is new feature work, recommend the PR Workflow and proceed with safe
-  preparation steps (status checks, identifying scope). Ask for approval before merges,
-  pushes, or dependency installs.
-- If `./check-sync.sh` reports **diverged** during Sync Workflow, merge
-  `upstream/<TARGET_RC>` into the current branch and preserve local commits.
-- If `./check-sync.sh` reports **diverged** during PR Workflow, stop and ask for guidance
-  with a short explanation of the divergence and the minimal options to resolve it.
-  If the user's intent is RC maintenance, prefer the Sync Workflow regardless of the
-  script hint. When the intent is new feature work, use the PR Workflow and avoid upstream
-  RC pushes.
-
-Suggestion format (keep it short):
-
-- **Recommended**: one sentence with the default path and why it fits the task.
-- **Alternatives**: one or two options with the tradeoff or prerequisite.
-- **Approval points**: mention any upcoming actions that need explicit approval (exclude sync
-  workflow pushes and merges).
-
-## Failure Modes and How to Avoid Them
-
-Sync Workflow:
-
-- Wrong RC target: verify the auto-detected RC in `./check-sync.sh` output before merging.
-- Diverged from upstream RC: stop and resolve manually before any merge or push.
-- Dirty working tree: commit or stash before syncing to avoid accidental merges.
-- Missing remotes: ensure both `origin` and `upstream` are configured before syncing.
-- Build breaks after sync: run `npm run build:packages` and `npm run build` before pushing.
-
-PR Workflow:
-
-- Branch not synced to current RC: re-run `./check-sync.sh` and merge RC before shipping.
-- Pushing the wrong branch: confirm `git branch --show-current` before pushing.
-- Unreviewed changes: always commit and push to origin before opening or updating a PR.
-- Skipped tests/builds: run the build commands before declaring the PR ready.
-
-## Notes
-
-- Avoid merging with uncommitted changes; commit or stash first.
-- Prefer merge over rebase for PR branches; rebases rewrite history and often require a force push,
-  which should only be done with an explicit user request.
-- Use clear, conventional commit messages and split unrelated changes into separate commits.

+
+#### Optional: Persist browsers for manual updates
+
+By default, Playwright Chromium is pre-installed in the Docker image. If you need to manually update browsers or want to persist browser installations across container restarts (not image rebuilds), you can mount a volume.
+
+**Important:** When you first add this volume mount to an existing setup, the empty volume will override the pre-installed browsers. You must re-install them:
+
+```bash
+# After adding the volume mount for the first time
+docker exec --user automaker -w /app automaker-server npx playwright install chromium
+```
+
+Add this to your `docker-compose.override.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  server:
+    volumes:
+      - playwright-cache:/home/automaker/.cache/ms-playwright
+
+volumes:
+  playwright-cache:
+    name: automaker-playwright-cache
+```
+
+**Updating browsers manually:**
+
+```bash
+docker exec --user automaker -w /app automaker-server npx playwright install chromium
+```
+

+
+IMPORTANT: Do NOT include any conversational text, explanations, or preamble. Do NOT say things like "I'll analyze..." or "Here is...". Output ONLY the structured format below and nothing else.
+
+Output your response in EXACTLY this format (including the markers):
+---TITLE---
+<a concise PR title, 50-72 chars, imperative mood>
+---BODY---
+## Summary
+<1-3 bullet points describing the key changes>
+
+## Changes
+<Detailed list of what was changed and why>
+
+Rules:
+- Your ENTIRE response must start with ---TITLE--- and contain nothing before it
+- The title should be concise and descriptive (50-72 characters)
+- Use imperative mood for the title (e.g., "Add dark mode toggle" not "Added dark mode toggle")
+- The description should explain WHAT changed and WHY
+- Group related changes together
+- Use markdown formatting for the body
+- Do NOT include the branch name in the title
+- Focus on the user-facing impact when possible
+- If there are breaking changes, mention them prominently
+- The diff may include both committed changes and uncommitted working directory changes. Treat all changes as part of the PR since uncommitted changes will be committed when the PR is created
+- Do NOT distinguish between committed and uncommitted changes in the output - describe all changes as a unified set of PR changes
+- EXCLUDE any files that are gitignored (e.g., node_modules, dist, build, .env files, lock files, generated files, binary artifacts, coverage reports, cache directories). These should not be mentioned in the description even if they appear in the diff
+- Focus only on meaningful source code changes that are tracked by git and relevant to reviewers`;

+ * @returns Promise resolving to stdout output
+ * @throws Error with stderr/stdout message if command fails. The thrown error
