Subject: [PATCH 01/42] Fix clippy warnings and WhatsApp gateway Node 25
 compatibility

- Collapse nested else-if blocks in CLI doctor command to satisfy clippy
- Add "type": "commonjs" to whatsapp-gateway package.json (Node 25 defaults to ESM)
- Replace import.meta.url with __dirname in gateway index.js (import.meta is invalid in CJS)

Subject: [PATCH 02/42] Fix provider test and wizard agent creation bugs

- Fix test_provider sending empty model string to Anthropic API (use
  cheapest model from catalog, preferring haiku)
- Fix wizard TOML generation: remove invalid [agent] section wrapper,
  use correct field name 'model' instead of 'name' under [model],
  move system_prompt into [model] section instead of non-existent [prompt]
- Skip invalid profile values (balanced/precise/creative) that don't
  match ToolProfile enum variants
- Return detailed error messages from spawn_agent endpoint

Subject: [PATCH 03/42] Fix hands active state display and WhatsApp gateway
 reliability

- Show green "Active" button on hands page when a hand is already running
- Load active instances on page init so Available tab reflects current state
- WhatsApp gateway: resolve agent name to UUID before forwarding messages
- Filter out group messages (only process direct chats @s.whatsapp.net)
- Skip protocol/reaction messages that have no useful text content
- Prevent echo loops by filtering fromMe messages

Subject: [PATCH 04/42] Add getMessage handler for Baileys 6.x message
 decryption

Baileys 6.x requires a getMessage callback to handle pre-key message
retries and decrypt incoming messages from new contacts. Without this,
messages fail silently with "error in handling message" after fresh
QR code pairing.

  who they're chatting with (API MessageRequest has no metadata field)
- Add allowlist filter to only process messages from approved numbers
- Increase API timeout from 120s to 600s for long-running agent tasks

Subject: [PATCH 07/42] Fix WhatsApp gateway critical issues: allowlist, memory
 leak, socket cleanup

- Move hardcoded phone allowlist to config (allowed_users in config.toml)
  passed as WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS env var; empty = allow all
- Add LRU eviction to msgStore (cap 500) to prevent unbounded memory growth
- Clean up old Baileys socket before re-login to prevent leaked listeners
- Add 5-minute TTL to agent ID cache so deleted/recreated agents are found

Subject: [PATCH 08/42] Strip <thinking> tags from LLM responses and persist
 agent config to SQLite

- Add strip_thinking_tags() to agent_loop.rs that removes <thinking>...</thinking>
  blocks from LLM text output before sending to channels (prevents chain-of-thought
  reasoning from leaking to WhatsApp users)
- Applied in all 4 response paths: non-streaming/streaming EndTurn and MaxTokens
- Persist agent manifest to SQLite after PATCH /api/agents/{id}/config so system
  prompt and other config changes survive daemon restarts
- Added 5 unit tests for thinking tag stripping

Subject: [PATCH 09/42] Fix critical unsafe blocks and security vulnerabilities

Security fixes:
- WebSocket auth: constant-time token comparison (prevents timing attacks)
- Middleware: remove /api/agents and /api/config from auth bypass list
- Upload handler: sanitize filename metadata (path traversal prevention)
- WhatsApp gateway: truncate messages exceeding 4096 chars

Unsafe block fixes:
- kernel.rs: replace unsafe peer_registry/peer_node ptr mutation with OnceLock
- routes.rs: replace unsafe budget config ptr mutation with RwLock
- routes.rs: serialize env var mutations with static Mutex

Subject: [PATCH 10/42] Fix hand registry reconciliation and sandbox env var
 passthrough

- Add register_restored() to HandRegistry so hands activated in previous
  sessions show as "Active" after daemon restart instead of "Activate"
- Reconcile restored agents with hand definitions during kernel boot
- Include hand requirement env vars (ApiKey/EnvVar) in shell_exec sandbox
  allowed list so hands like Twitter can access their API tokens

Subject: [PATCH 11/42] Add OAuth 1.0a credentials to Twitter Hand for tweet
 posting

- Add TWITTER_API_KEY, TWITTER_API_SECRET, TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN, and
  TWITTER_ACCESS_SECRET as hand requirements so they pass through the
  shell_exec sandbox
- Update system prompt to use OAuth 1.0a (requests_oauthlib) for posting
  instead of Bearer Token which is read-only
- Clarify Bearer Token is for reading only

Subject: [PATCH 12/42] Add WhatsApp gateway self-healing and kernel health
 monitor

The gateway loses its Baileys WebSocket after system sleep/wake but the
HTTP server stays alive, silently dropping messages. This adds:

- Heartbeat watchdog in the gateway (30s interval, 90s stale threshold)
  that detects dead sockets and triggers automatic reconnection
- Kernel health monitor loop that polls gateway /health every 30s and
  triggers POST /health/reconnect after 2 consecutive failures
- GET /api/channels/whatsapp/health endpoint for dashboard visibility
- Enhanced GET /api/health/detail with whatsapp_gateway status

Subject: [PATCH 13/42] Harden API security: error sanitization, CORS, HSTS,
 SSRF prevention

Security fixes from code audit follow-up:
- S4: Sanitize error responses to not leak internal details (routes.rs)
- S5: Validate OPENFANG_URL against localhost allowlist to prevent SSRF (index.js)
- S9: Restrict CORS to explicit HTTP methods instead of wildcard (server.rs)
- S12: Document unsafe-eval CSP requirement for Alpine.js (middleware.rs)
- L3: Add HSTS header for HTTPS enforcement (middleware.rs)
- L5: Document HTTP keep-alive timeout TODO (server.rs)

Subject: [PATCH 14/42] Wire up CredentialVault for encrypted secret storage
 (S2 fix)

Secrets were stored as plaintext in ~/.openfang/secrets.env. The vault
(AES-256-GCM + Argon2 KDF) already existed in openfang-extensions but
was never wired up. This integrates it:

- Kernel: auto-init vault on startup, migrate existing secrets.env
  entries to encrypted vault.enc, load vault secrets into env vars
- Routes: write_secret_env/remove_secret_env now use vault first with
  plaintext file fallback if vault unavailable
- CLI dotenv: load vault secrets at startup alongside .env/secrets.env
- Graceful degradation: if vault can't init/unlock, falls back to
  plaintext secrets.env (no breakage)

Subject: [PATCH 15/42] Add read_only mode to email adapter to prevent unwanted
 auto-replies

The email adapter was replying to every incoming email (LinkedIn,
Reddit, newsletters, etc.) because no sender filter or reply guard
was configured. This adds:

- read_only config option: when true, processes incoming emails but
  never sends SMTP replies (for newsletter ingestion use cases)
- Wired through config -> channel_bridge -> adapter constructor

Subject: [PATCH 17/42] Fix Total Cost showing $0.00 on dashboard overview
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The /api/usage endpoint was missing cost_usd — it only returned token
counts from the scheduler. Now pulls daily cost from UsageStore so the
overview page displays actual spend.

Subject: [PATCH 18/42] Apply approval policy shorthands at boot
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The auto_approve config flag was never processed — apply_shorthands()
was not called, so shell_exec always required approval even when the
user set auto_approve = true.

Subject: [PATCH 19/42] Fix WhatsApp gateway reconnect instability

Three root causes of repeated disconnects:

1. Conflict reconnect loop: When WhatsApp returns conflict (440),
   gateway retried in 3s creating competing sessions. Now uses
   exponential backoff (15s, 30s, 45s, max 60s) for conflicts.

2. Daemon and gateway fighting: Both the gateway's own reconnect
   and the daemon health loop triggered reconnects simultaneously.
   Gateway now reports connStatus='reconnecting' so the daemon
   backs off. /health/reconnect rejects calls when already
   reconnecting. Daemon has 90s cooldown after triggering reconnect.

3. Max restarts too low: 3 restarts with short delays meant one
   bad sleep/wake cycle permanently killed the gateway. Increased
   to 10 restarts with delays up to 60s.

Subject: [PATCH 20/42] Shared HTTP client, per-agent rate limiting, and auth
 whitelist tightening
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

P1: Replace 60+ independent reqwest::Client::new() calls with SharedHttpClients
on the kernel (default: 30s timeout + 20 idle connections, streaming: no timeout).
All channel adapters, LLM drivers, and runtime tools now share pooled connections.

S6: Add per-agent GCRA rate limiting (200 tokens/min) to prevent one agent from
starving others. Applied in send_message handler alongside existing per-IP limits.

S3: Remove /api/budget, /api/sessions, and /api/profiles from the unauthenticated
public endpoint whitelist — these now require Bearer auth when API key is set.

+---
+# ArXiv Research Paper Specialist
+
+You are an expert at discovering, reading, and summarizing cutting-edge research papers from arXiv. You help users stay current with AI, machine learning, NLP, and software engineering research by finding relevant papers and distilling them into accessible summaries.
+
+## ArXiv API
+
+The ArXiv API returns Atom XML. Use `web_fetch` on these URLs:
+
+- **Recent AI/ML/NLP/SE papers** (best for daily monitoring):
+  `http://export.arxiv.org/api/query?search_query=cat:cs.AI+OR+cat:cs.CL+OR+cat:cs.LG+OR+cat:cs.SE&sortBy=submittedDate&sortOrder=descending&max_results=10`
+
+- **Search by keyword** (e.g., "retrieval augmented generation"):
+  `http://export.arxiv.org/api/query?search_query=all:retrieval+augmented+generation&sortBy=relevance&max_results=5`
+
+- **Specific paper by ID**:
+  `http://export.arxiv.org/api/query?id_list=2401.12345`
+
+Rate limit: max 3 requests per second. Wait 1 second between calls.
+
+## Key Category Codes
+
+| Code | Area |
+|------|------|
+| `cs.AI` | Artificial Intelligence |
+| `cs.CL` | Computation and Language (NLP, LLMs) |
+| `cs.LG` | Machine Learning |
+| `cs.SE` | Software Engineering |
+| `cs.CV` | Computer Vision |
+| `cs.CR` | Cryptography and Security |
+| `cs.IR` | Information Retrieval (RAG, search) |
+| `stat.ML` | Statistics — Machine Learning |
+
+## Reading Paper Abstracts
+
+Use `web_fetch` on `https://arxiv.org/abs/PAPER_ID` to get the full abstract page. Extract:
+- **Title**: the paper's main claim or contribution
+- **Authors**: first author + "et al." if many
+- **Abstract**: the full summary (usually 150-300 words)
+- **Submission date**: when it was posted
+- **Categories**: which arXiv categories it belongs to
+
+## Summarization Strategy
+
+When summarizing a paper for social media or brief updates:
+
+1. **Lead with the finding**, not the method: "LLMs can now X" beats "We propose a novel framework for X"
+2. **State the practical impact**: Why should a developer or researcher care?
+3. **One concrete number**: Include a key metric if available (e.g., "43% faster", "beats GPT-4 on X")
+4. **Keep it accessible**: Replace jargon with plain language. "attention mechanism" → "how the model focuses on relevant parts"
+5. **Always include the link**: `https://arxiv.org/abs/PAPER_ID`
+
+### Tweet Format (under 280 chars)
+
+```

+## Topic Priority for AI/Dev Audiences
+
+When selecting which paper to highlight, prefer (in order):
+1. LLM capabilities and benchmarks (new models, scaling results)
+2. Coding agents and AI-assisted development
+3. RAG and retrieval systems
+4. Prompt engineering and in-context learning
+5. AI safety, alignment, and evaluation
+6. Multimodal models (vision-language)
+7. Efficiency improvements (smaller/faster models)
+8. Novel training techniques
+
+Skip papers that are: purely theoretical with no experiments, incremental improvements on obscure benchmarks, or too domain-specific (e.g., medical imaging unless breakthrough).
+
+## Deduplication
+
+Before sharing a paper, always check your recent posts via `memory_recall` to avoid:
+- Sharing the same paper twice
+- Sharing papers on the same narrow topic within 3 days
+- Sharing papers from the same author group back-to-back
+
+## Pitfalls to Avoid
+
+- Do not fetch PDFs with `web_fetch` — they are binary files. Use the abstract page (`/abs/`) instead.
+- Do not blindly trust star counts on associated GitHub repos — many papers have no code release.
+- Do not over-hype incremental improvements as "breakthroughs."
+- Do not share papers without reading the abstract — the title alone can be misleading.
+- ArXiv papers are preprints — note this when sharing. They have not been peer-reviewed.

+## 1. How Major Players Handle Cultural/Linguistic Adaptation
+
+### 1.1 Meta AI (WhatsApp's Built-in AI)
+
+**Approach: Natively multilingual foundation model + phased regional rollout**
+
+Meta AI uses its Llama model family as the inference layer for the WhatsApp built-in assistant. The multilingual strategy has evolved significantly across Llama generations:
+
+- **Llama 3**: 5% of pretraining data was non-English, covering 30+ languages [S1]
+- **Llama 3.1**: Expanded to 8 languages (English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Thai) [S1]
+- **Llama 4**: Pre-trained on 200 languages including 100+ with over 1 billion tokens each -- a 10x increase in multilingual tokens over Llama 3 [S2]
+
+The architecture is a **unified multilingual model**, not a translation layer. The same Llama inference layer is shared across WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. Prompts and history sync across platforms when a user has the same Meta account [S3, S4].
+
+**Cultural adaptation strategy**: Meta uses a **phased regional rollout** rather than simultaneous global deployment. Features like "Imagine Edit" launched in English first, with other languages following. Countries are onboarded gradually with privacy reviews per region [S3, S4].
+
+**Language handling**: The WhatsApp interface includes a `WAUILanguageSelectDropdown` component, suggesting user-initiated language selection rather than (or in addition to) automatic detection [S3].
+
+**Confidence: MEDIUM** -- Meta does not publish detailed architecture documentation for their WhatsApp AI integration. The above is reconstructed from blog posts, Wikipedia, and the Llama model cards.
+
+### 1.2 Google (Gemini)
+
+**Approach: Natively multilingual model + ecosystem integration**
+
+Gemini 2.5 Pro supports 140 languages and enables natural, fluid interactions across multiple languages within the same session [S5, S6]. Key characteristics:
+
+- **Cross-lingual transfer**: The model handles language switching within a single conversation without explicit detection steps [S5]
+- **Cultural awareness**: When asked about winter meals in Seoul, Gemini added contextual details like rice cakes with kimchi stew -- demonstrating embedded cultural knowledge rather than retrieval-based cultural context [S5]
+- **Ecosystem integration**: Gemini powers Translate, Meet (69-language captions), NotebookLM, and Workspace apps in 40+ languages [S6, S7]
+
+Google's approach to cultural adaptation is notable: they use Gemini itself for "first-draft translations, cultural adaptation, and channel-specific formatting" -- meaning the LLM handles both translation and cultural localization in a single pass [S5].
+
+**Confidence: HIGH** -- Google publishes extensive documentation on Gemini's multilingual capabilities.
+
+### 1.3 Other Major Players
+
+**SK Telecom** (30M+ subscribers, South Korea): Fine-tuned GPT-4 specifically for Korean-language telecom conversations. Results: 35% improvement in conversation summarization, 33% improvement in intent recognition, customer satisfaction jumped from 3.6 to 4.5/5.0. They later partnered with Deutsche Telekom and worked with Anthropic and Meta to co-develop a multilingual LLM for English, Korean, German, Japanese, Arabic, and Spanish [S8, S9].
+
+**ZALORA** (Asian e-commerce): Deployed an AI customer service chatbot in June 2024 that adjusts and responds to any language used with it. Achieved 30% improvement in deflection rate [S10].
+
+**Meesho** (Indian e-commerce): Rolled out a multilingual Gen AI voice chatbot in November 2024 handling 60,000 calls daily with 95% resolution rate [S10].
+
+**Airbnb**: Multilingual customer support bot handling 40+ languages, deflecting approximately 30% of support tickets [S11].
+
+**H&M**: Localized shopping assistant reported 15% higher conversion rate when in-language support was provided [S11].
+

+
+## 2. Production WhatsApp Bot Multilingual Architecture
+
+### 2.1 The Dominant Architecture Pattern
+
+Based on evidence from multiple production platforms (Twilio, Gupshup, Respond.io, Botpress, and independent implementations), the **dominant production architecture** for multilingual WhatsApp bots in 2025-2026 follows this five-layer pattern [S12, S13, S14]:
+
+```
+User Message (any language)
+    |
+    v
+[1. Webhook Handler] -- Receives from Meta Cloud API, responds 200 immediately
+    |
+    v
+[2. Language Detection] -- Automatic per-message or per-session detection
+    |
+    v
+[3. LLM Conversation Engine] -- Processes in detected language or translates to English first
+    |
+    v
+[4. Action Execution] -- CRM, database lookups, API calls
+    |
+    v
+[5. Response Delivery] -- In the user's detected language
+```
+
+There are **two competing sub-patterns** for how the LLM layer handles multilingual input:
+
+#### Pattern A: "Translate-Process-Translate" (Middleware Translation Layer)
+- Incoming message is translated to English (or the bot's primary language)
+- Intent classification and response generation happen in English
+- Response is translated back to the user's language
+- **Used by**: Botpress (via Translator Agent), older Rasa deployments, many custom bots
+- **Advantage**: Simpler NLU training (English-only), predictable behavior
+- **Disadvantage**: Translation artifacts, cultural nuance loss, added latency
+
+#### Pattern B: "Native Multilingual Processing"
+- The LLM processes the message in the user's original language
+- Response is generated natively in that language
+- No translation layer required
+- **Used by**: Meta AI, Gupshup ACE LLM, Respond.io AI Agents, modern GPT-4/Claude-based bots
+- **Advantage**: Preserves cultural nuance, lower latency, more natural responses
+- **Disadvantage**: Quality varies by language, harder to test/validate
+
+**Industry trend**: Pattern B is rapidly becoming the standard as frontier LLMs (GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini) handle 100+ languages natively with high quality. Pattern A persists mainly in legacy systems and when using smaller, less multilingual models [S11, S15, S16].
+
+### 2.2 Platform-Specific Implementations
+
+**Gupshup (ACE LLM)**:
+- Domain-specific LLMs built on top of Llama 2, GPT-3.5 Turbo, Mosaic MPT, and Flan T-5 [S17]
+- Fine-tuned for specific industries (marketing, commerce, support)
+- Generates text in 100+ languages
+- Available in 7B to 70B parameter sizes
+- Includes enterprise-grade safety controls, tone management, and audit capabilities [S17, S18]
+
+**Respond.io**:
+- AI Agents that understand intent and context across WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and TikTok [S19]
+- Agents are trained on uploaded knowledge sources
+- Multilingual by leveraging the underlying LLM's native language capabilities
+- Per-message language handling (not per-session) [S19]
+
+**Twilio**:
+- API-first approach -- provides messaging infrastructure, not AI/NLU [S20]
+- Developers integrate their own LLM layer on top of Twilio's WhatsApp API
+- Per-message markup of approximately $0.005 on top of Meta's rates [S20]
+
+**WATI**:
+- KnowBot AI chatbot for basic FAQs [S21]
+- More limited than Respond.io -- no automatic agent handoff from AI
+- Positioned as simpler/cheaper for small businesses [S21]
+
+### 2.3 Technical Stack for Production WhatsApp Bots
+
+Based on the GroovyWeb production guide and corroborated by multiple sources [S12]:
+
+| Component | Technology | Purpose |
+|-----------|-----------|---------|
+| Web Framework | FastAPI (Python) or Node.js | Async webhook handling |
+| LLM Provider | Anthropic Claude / OpenAI GPT-4 | Conversation engine |
+| Hot Storage | Redis (24h TTL) | Conversation state, last 20 messages |
+| Cold Storage | PostgreSQL | Analytics, compliance audit trails |
+| Message Queue | Async job queue | Decouple webhook response from LLM processing |
+| Meta Integration | WhatsApp Cloud API v19.0+ | Send/receive messages |
+
+Key engineering principle: "receive the webhook, enqueue the job, respond 200 immediately, then process the LLM call asynchronously" [S12].
+
+---
+
+## 3. RAG vs Fine-Tuning vs Prompt Engineering vs Memory: What Production Actually Uses
+
+### 3.1 The Industry Consensus
+
+Based on IBM, IEEE, OpenAI community discussions, Elastic, InterSystems, and multiple practitioner sources, the **industry standard approach in 2025-2026 is a layered combination**, not a single technique [S22, S23, S24, S25]:
+
+| Approach | Production Role | When Used | Cost |
+|----------|----------------|-----------|------|
+| **Prompt Engineering** | Foundation layer -- always used | Every deployment | Minimal (hours/days) |
+| **RAG** | Primary knowledge layer | When domain-specific, current, or dynamic knowledge is needed | Moderate ($70-1000/month infra) |
+| **Fine-Tuning** | Specialization layer | When tone, format, or deep domain expertise is needed | High (months + 6x inference cost) |
+| **Memory Systems** | Personalization layer | When conversation history and user preferences matter | Moderate (storage + retrieval) |
+
+### 3.2 What Production Chatbots Actually Use
+
+**The overwhelming industry preference is: Prompt Engineering + RAG, with fine-tuning only for specific edge cases.**
+
+Evidence from production deployments:
+
+1. **OpenAI community consensus** (multiple threads, hundreds of practitioners): "A fine-tune won't be able to accurately represent the knowledge you train it on" for factual/domain knowledge. RAG is the recommended approach for customer service chatbots. Fine-tuning's role is limited to "controlling response tone and personality" [S24].
+
+2. **IBM's recommendation**: "Start with prompt engineering (hours/days), escalate to RAG when you need real-time data, and only use fine-tuning when you need deep specialization" [S22].
+
+3. **Elastic's production guidance**: "RAG excels at integrating knowledge through dynamic data and ensuring accurate, up-to-date responses in real-time... fine-tuning offers a high level of optimization, adapting answers to specific tasks, making it ideal for static contexts or domains where knowledge does not change frequently" [S25].
+
+4. **IEEE comparative analysis** (2024 paper): Formal comparative analysis of RAG, fine-tuning, and prompt engineering in chatbot development confirms the layered approach [S23].
+
+### 3.3 How Each Technique Maps to Cultural/Language Knowledge
+
+**For multilingual/cultural adaptation specifically:**
+
+| Technique | What It Handles Well | What It Does Not Handle Well |
+|-----------|---------------------|----------------------------|
+| **Prompt Engineering** | Language instructions ("respond in the user's language"), cultural greeting rules, tone guidelines, few-shot examples of culturally appropriate responses | Cannot store large cultural knowledge bases, limited by context window |
+| **RAG** | Cultural knowledge retrieval (holidays, customs, taboos), region-specific product info, locale-specific FAQ content, dynamic cultural context | Requires well-structured cultural knowledge base, retrieval quality varies |
+| **Fine-Tuning** | Deep language/dialect fluency, consistent cultural tone, domain-specific vocabulary | Expensive, static (cannot update cultural knowledge without retraining), risk of catastrophic forgetting |
+| **Memory/Conversation History** | User's preferred language, individual cultural preferences, personal context | Does not generalize to new users, cold-start problem |
+
+### 3.4 Production Case Studies by Approach
+
+**Prompt Engineering Only (sufficient for most cases):**
+- System prompt with "respond in the same language the user writes in"
+- Few-shot examples of culturally appropriate greetings and responses
+- This is what most WhatsApp bots built on GPT-4/Claude actually use [S14, S26]
+
+**Prompt Engineering + RAG:**
+- Cultural knowledge base with regional customs, holidays, greetings indexed in a vector store
+- Retrieved and injected into context based on detected user locale/language
+- Used by enterprise platforms like Respond.io and Gupshup for domain-specific knowledge [S17, S19]
+
+**Prompt Engineering + Fine-Tuning:**
+- SK Telecom: Fine-tuned GPT-4 for Korean telecom domain -- 35% improvement in summarization, 33% in intent recognition [S8]
+- Harvey (legal AI): Fine-tuned on case law -- 83% increase in factual responses, 97% attorney preference over base GPT-4 [S27]
+- Indeed: Fine-tuned GPT-3.5 Turbo for job descriptions -- 80% token reduction, scaled from 1M to 20M messages/month [S27]
+
+**All Three Combined:**
+- Gupshup ACE LLM: Foundation models fine-tuned for industry domains, with enterprise knowledge retrieval, controlled via system prompts with tone/guardrail settings [S17, S18]
+
+---
+
+## 4. Open-Source Approaches (Botpress, Rasa, Chatwoot)
+
+### 4.1 Botpress
+
+**Architecture**: Modular with a dedicated Translator Agent [S28, S29]
+
+The Translator Agent implements a **middleware translation pattern**:
+1. Detects user language from first message (requires at least 3 tokens for reliable detection)
+2. Translates incoming message to the bot's base language (typically English)
+3. Processes intent and generates response in base language
+4. Translates response back to user's detected language
+5. Exposes `{{user.TranslatorAgent.language}}` variable for workflow logic
+
+Configuration options:
+- `Detect Initial User Language` -- automatic language identification on first input
+- `Detect Language Change` -- monitors for language switches mid-conversation (can be enabled per-turn)
+- `Model Selection` -- choose which translation model processes messages
+
+**Limitations**: Language detection fails with 1-2 word messages. Cultural adaptation is not addressed by the Translator Agent -- it handles language only, not cultural context [S28, S29].
+
+**Multilingual support**: 100+ languages via third-party translation APIs (DeepL, Google Translate) [S28].
+
+### 4.2 Rasa
+
+**Architecture**: Language-agnostic modular NLU pipeline [S30, S31]
+
+Rasa takes a fundamentally different approach -- the NLU pipeline is **completely language-agnostic by design**:
+- Tokenizer + featurizer pipeline can be configured per language
+- SpacyNLP component supports many but not all languages (gaps in Vietnamese, Korean, Arabic addressed by `rasa-nlu-examples`)
+- Supports multilingual embeddings via BERT, XLM-R, and other HuggingFace models [S30, S31]
+
+For multilingual bots, Rasa offers two approaches:
+1. **Single model with multilingual embeddings**: Use mBERT or XLM-R as the featurizer -- one model handles all languages
+2. **Per-language pipeline**: Configure separate NLU pipelines per language with language-specific tokenizers
+
+**Cultural adaptation**: Not built-in. Rasa provides the NLU infrastructure; cultural context must be implemented in custom actions and dialogue policies.
+
+**Current status**: Rasa remains the most popular open-source chatbot framework for teams wanting complete control, but requires significant engineering effort [S31].
+
+### 4.3 Chatwoot
+
+**Architecture**: Customer support platform with plugin-based AI [S32, S33]
+
+Chatwoot is **not a chatbot framework** -- it is an omnichannel customer support platform. Its multilingual capabilities are:
+- Multilingual UI support for agents
+- Auto-translate messages feature
+- Basic AI assistant for summarizing chats and suggesting replies
+- WhatsApp integration via Evolution API or direct Cloud API
+
+For advanced chatbot functionality (including multilingual NLU), Chatwoot relies on **third-party integrations** with Rasa, Dialogflow, or custom LLM-based solutions [S32, S33].
+
+**Interpretation**: Chatwoot is better understood as the agent inbox/routing layer rather than the AI/NLU layer. It sits alongside rather than competes with Botpress/Rasa.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Documented Production Patterns for Cultural Adaptation
+
+Based on evidence from multiple production deployments and published guides, these are the **actually used patterns** (not theoretical):
+
+### Pattern 1: "Respond in User's Language" System Prompt Directive
+
+**What it is**: A simple instruction in the system prompt telling the LLM to detect and respond in the user's language.
+
+**Example**:
+```
+You are a customer support assistant. Always respond in the same language
+the user writes to you in. If the user switches languages mid-conversation,
+switch with them.
+```
+
+**Who uses it**: The majority of production WhatsApp bots built on GPT-4o, Claude, or Gemini. This is the baseline approach [S14, S26].
+
+**Effectiveness**: HIGH for language matching. LOW for cultural nuance beyond what the LLM already knows from training data.
+
+**Evidence**: The Invent multilingual AI agents guide (2025) explicitly recommends this as the starting point, with the system prompt specifying: "Users may speak in Spanish, German, or English. Reply in that language, clarifying politely if language changes mid-conversation" [S14].
+
+### Pattern 2: Few-Shot Cultural Examples in System Prompt
+
+**What it is**: Including specific examples of culturally appropriate responses directly in the system prompt.
+
+**Example** (from our prior research [S34]):
+```
+GREETINGS:
+- Islamic greetings: "Salam" / "Assalamu Alaikum" -> "Wa Alaikum As-Salam!"
+- "Jumma Mubarak" -> "Jumma Mubarak!"
+- "Eid Mubarak" -> "Eid Mubarak!"
+- "Shabbat Shalom" -> "Shabbat Shalom!"
+- "Namaste" -> "Namaste!"
+- NEVER add "How can I help you?" after a greeting. Just greet back and wait.
+```
+
+**Who uses it**: Custom WhatsApp assistants targeting specific cultural groups; family/personal assistant bots [S34].
+
+**Effectiveness**: HIGH for targeted cultural behaviors (greetings, religious observances). Does not scale to comprehensive cultural knowledge.
+
+**Evidence**: Multiple production prompt guides recommend few-shot examples as the primary mechanism for cultural calibration [S26, S34, S35].
+
+### Pattern 3: RAG-Based Cultural Knowledge Retrieval
+
+**What it is**: A vector database or knowledge base containing cultural information (holidays, customs, taboos, greeting protocols) that is retrieved and injected into the LLM context based on the detected user locale or language.
+
+**Architecture**:
+```
+User message -> Language detection -> Locale inference
+    |
+    v
+Cultural knowledge base query (vector search)
+    |
+    v
+Retrieved cultural context + User message -> LLM -> Response
+```
+
+**Who uses it**: Enterprise platforms like Gupshup, Respond.io (for domain knowledge), and custom enterprise implementations [S11, S17, S19].
+
+**For multilingual RAG specifically**, the ChatRAG guide identifies three sub-approaches [S15]:
+1. **Query-time translation**: Translate the query to the knowledge base language, search, translate results back
+2. **Multilingual embeddings**: Use models like IBM multilingual-e5-large or mBERT to embed content in multiple languages into the same vector space
+3. **Parallel knowledge bases**: Maintain separate knowledge bases per language
+
+**Industry preference**: Hybrid approaches combining multilingual embeddings with strategic query-time translation yield the best results [S15].
+
+### Pattern 4: Fine-Tuned Cultural/Language Models
+
+**What it is**: Taking a foundation model and fine-tuning it on domain-specific and language-specific data.
+
+**Who uses it**: Large enterprises with specific language/domain requirements [S8, S27]:
+- SK Telecom (Korean telecom)
+- Harvey (English legal)
+- Indeed (English job descriptions)
+- Gupshup ACE LLM (multi-industry, 100+ languages)
+
+**When it is justified**: Only when prompt engineering + RAG cannot achieve the required quality in a specific language/domain combination, AND the organization has the budget for fine-tuning (estimated 6x increase in inference costs) [S22].
+
+### Pattern 5: Middleware Translation Layer
+
+**What it is**: A dedicated translation service that sits between the user and the NLU/LLM engine, translating all input to the bot's primary language and all output back to the user's language.
+
+**Architecture**:
+```
+User message (any language)
+    |
+    v
+[Translation-In middleware] -- Uses DeepL, Google Translate, or NMT
+    |
+    v
+[NLU/LLM Engine] -- Processes in English only
+    |
+    v
+[Translation-Out middleware]
+    |
+    v
+Response (user's language)
+```
+
+**Who uses it**: Botpress Translator Agent, older Rasa deployments, legacy chatbot systems [S28, S29].
+
+**Trend**: This pattern is **declining** as frontier LLMs handle multilingual processing natively. It persists in systems using smaller models or non-LLM-based NLU [S11, S16].
+
+### Pattern 6: Per-Message Language Detection + Adaptive Response
+
+**What it is**: Detecting the user's language on every message (not just the first one) and adapting responses accordingly, supporting code-switching.
+
+**Who uses it**: Botpress (configurable per-turn detection), Respond.io, modern LLM-based bots [S14, S28, S29].
+
+**Why it matters**: In multilingual regions (South Asia, Africa, parts of Europe), users frequently switch languages mid-conversation. Per-session detection misses this entirely [S14, S15].
+
+---
+
+## 6. LLM Provider Recommendations for Cultural Adaptation
+
+### 6.1 What Each Provider Officially Recommends
+
+**OpenAI**:
+- Offers prompt engineering, RAG (via file search/vector stores), and fine-tuning as three escalating techniques [S27]
+- Official recommendation: Start with prompt engineering, add RAG for domain knowledge, use fine-tuning only for deep specialization
+- GPT-4o's tokenizer specifically optimized for non-English languages (4.4x fewer tokens for Gujarati, 3.5x fewer for Telugu) [S36]
+- No specific cultural adaptation documentation published -- multilingual handling is treated as an inherent model capability
+- Published Korean fine-tuning cookbook (with SK Telecom) as a reference implementation [S8]
+
+**Anthropic (Claude)**:
+- Emphasizes prompt engineering as the primary customization mechanism [S37]
+- System prompts with role-setting described as the key to focusing behavior and tone [S37]
+- Claude 3.5 ranked first in 9/11 language pairs in the WMT24 translation competition, with professional translators rating its translations "good" more often than GPT-4, DeepL, or Google Translate [S38]
+- No specific cultural adaptation documentation published
+- Recommendation is implicit: use detailed system prompts with cultural context and examples
+
+**Google (Gemini)**:
+- Gemini is described as "highly multilingual by design" due to its role powering Google Translate [S5, S36]
+- System prompt instructions explicitly aim to "avoid political or cultural bias" while providing "balanced, reliable, and professional responses" [S36]
+- Gemini's approach to cultural adaptation appears to be training-data-driven rather than prompt-driven -- the model demonstrates cultural knowledge (e.g., Korean food customs) without explicit prompting [S5]
+
+### 6.2 The Practical Consensus Across Providers
+
+All three major providers converge on the same practical recommendation:
+
+1. **Prompt engineering is the first and most important lever** -- define language behavior, cultural rules, and tone in the system prompt
+2. **RAG for dynamic/domain-specific knowledge** -- cultural knowledge bases, product catalogs, regional policies
+3. **Fine-tuning is a last resort** -- only when the above two are insufficient for a specific language/domain combination
+4. **None of the providers publish specific cultural adaptation guides** -- this is treated as an application-level concern, not a model-level concern
+
+**Interpretation**: The LLM providers view cultural adaptation as the developer's responsibility. Their recommendation is to use the model's inherent multilingual capabilities (which are extensive in 2025-2026 frontier models) and customize via prompts and RAG. This is a notable finding -- there is no "official playbook" for cultural adaptation from any major provider.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Synthesis: The Industry Standard Stack in 2025-2026
+
+Based on all evidence gathered, here is what the industry actually does:
+
+### The Standard Architecture
+
+```
+[System Prompt]
+  - Language instruction: "Respond in the user's language"
+  - Cultural rules: Few-shot examples for greetings, tone, formality
+  - Persona definition: Personality, communication style
+  |
+  + [RAG Layer] (if domain-specific knowledge needed)
+  |   - Product/service knowledge base
+  |   - Regional policies and customs (if enterprise)
+  |   - FAQ content per locale
+  |
+  + [Conversation Memory] (Redis/PostgreSQL)
+  |   - Last N messages for context
+  |   - User's detected language preference
+  |   - User profile data (name, preferences)
+  |
+  + [LLM Engine] (GPT-4o / Claude / Gemini / Llama)
+  |   - Processes in the user's native language
+  |   - No translation layer for frontier models
+  |
+  + [Fine-Tuning] (rare, only for specialized cases)
+      - Language-specific domain adaptation
+      - Consistent tone/style enforcement
+      - Used by <10% of deployments
+```
+
+### What Works vs. What Sounds Good
+
+| Approach | Sounds Good in Theory | What Actually Works in Production |
+|----------|----------------------|----------------------------------|
+| Fine-tuned cultural models | Deeply culturally aware AI | Too expensive, too static; prompt+RAG achieves 90% of the benefit |
+| Separate bot per language | Perfect language coverage | Duplicated work, maintenance nightmare; unified multilingual model is standard |
+| Translation middleware | Clean separation of concerns | Lossy for cultural nuance; frontier LLMs handle languages natively |
+| Massive cultural knowledge base | Comprehensive cultural coverage | Expensive to build/maintain; LLM training data already contains vast cultural knowledge |
+| Few-shot cultural examples in prompt | Targeted cultural calibration | YES -- this is the highest-ROI approach for specific cultural behaviors |
+| "Respond in user's language" prompt | Simple and effective | YES -- this works remarkably well with GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini |
+| Per-message language detection | Handles code-switching | YES -- critical for multilingual regions |
+| User preference memory | Personalized experience | YES -- storing language preference avoids re-detection |
+
+### The 80/20 Rule for Cultural Adaptation
+
+Based on the evidence, **80% of production cultural adaptation is achieved with three things**:
+
+1. **A well-crafted system prompt** with language instructions and cultural few-shot examples (cost: hours)
+2. **Per-message language detection** either by the LLM itself or a lightweight classifier (cost: minimal)
+3. **A frontier multilingual LLM** that already has extensive cultural knowledge from training data (cost: API fees)
+
+The remaining 20% (deep cultural nuance, regional idioms, domain-specific terminology) is addressed by:
+
+4. **RAG with locale-specific knowledge** (cost: moderate infrastructure)
+5. **Fine-tuning** for extreme specialization (cost: high, used rarely)
+
+---
+
+## 8. Knowledge Gaps
+
+### 8.1 Meta AI Internal Architecture
+
+Meta does not publish detailed documentation on how their WhatsApp AI handles language detection, cultural adaptation, or regional content filtering internally. The architecture described in Section 1.1 is reconstructed from public blog posts and model documentation. **Searched**: Meta AI blog, WhatsApp blog, Llama model cards, Meta engineering blog. **Gap quality**: Significant -- Meta is the single largest WhatsApp AI deployment.
+
+### 8.2 Code-Switching and Mixed-Language Handling
+
+No production system publishes how they handle Roman Urdu, Hinglish, Spanglish, or other mixed-language inputs (e.g., "Mujhe ek pizza chahiye with extra cheese"). LLMs handle this reasonably well in practice, but there is no documented best practice or benchmark. **Searched**: Academic papers, WhatsApp bot guides, Botpress/Rasa documentation, OpenAI/Anthropic docs. **Gap quality**: Significant -- this is extremely common in WhatsApp usage in South Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
+
+### 8.3 Cultural Adaptation Benchmarks
+
+No standardized benchmark exists for measuring cultural appropriateness of chatbot responses. Translation quality has BLEU and COMET scores; cultural adaptation has no equivalent metric. **Searched**: IEEE, ACM, arxiv, industry benchmarks. **Gap quality**: Moderate -- the industry evaluates cultural adaptation through human review and user satisfaction scores rather than automated metrics.
+
+### 8.4 RTL Language Support in WhatsApp Bots
+
+Limited documentation on how production WhatsApp bots handle right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu) in terms of message formatting, mixed-directional text, and UI rendering. **Searched**: Botpress docs, Quickchat guide, WhatsApp Business API docs. **Gap quality**: Moderate -- mentioned as a requirement but no detailed implementation guidance found.
+
+### 8.5 Long-Running Cultural Context Drift
+
+No research found on whether LLM-based bots maintain consistent cultural behavior over extended conversations (hundreds of messages). System prompt influence may degrade as conversation history grows. **Searched**: Academic papers, LLM behavior studies, chatbot UX research. **Gap quality**: Low-to-moderate -- this is a niche concern primarily relevant for personal/family assistant use cases.
+
+### 8.6 Provider-Specific Cultural Adaptation Guides
+
+None of the three major LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) publish official guides specifically for cultural adaptation. Cultural/multilingual handling is treated as an inherent model capability rather than a documented workflow. **Searched**: OpenAI docs, Anthropic docs, Google AI docs, developer blogs. **Gap quality**: Notable -- the absence itself is a finding.

+
+## 1. Common Pitfalls That Annoy Users
+
+### 1.1 Robotic, Over-Formal Language
+
+LLMs default to corporate/academic tone that feels completely wrong on WhatsApp. The following AI-overused words and phrases are documented as appearing 10x-180x more frequently in AI-generated text than human writing:
+
+**Words to ban from responses:**
+
+| Word/Phrase | AI Overuse Factor | Why It Fails on WhatsApp |
+|---|---|---|
+| "Certainly!" / "Absolutely!" | High | Sycophantic opener, no human texts this way |
+| "I'd be happy to help" | High | Robotic service-desk phrase |
+| "Furthermore" / "Moreover" / "Additionally" | 10x+ | Academic transitions, not texting language |
+| "Crucial" / "Vital" / "Essential" | 16x+ | Dramatic emphasis nobody uses in chat |
+| "Delve" / "Delve into" | High | AI signature word |
+| "Leverage" / "Harness" / "Unlock" | High | Marketing buzzwords |
+| "Navigate the complexities" | High | Corporate jargon |
+| "In today's fast-paced world" | 107x | Cliche filler |
+| "It's important to note that" | High | Unnecessary preamble |
+| "Showcasing" | 20x | AI-preferred synonym nobody uses in texts |
+| "Embark on a journey" | High | Dramatic cliche |
+| "Realm" / "Tapestry" / "Beacon" | High | Overly dramatic, never used in casual chat |
+| "Seamless" / "Robust" / "Transformative" | High | Tech marketing speak |
+
+**Structural anti-patterns:**
+- Restating the user's question back to them before answering
+- Adding unnecessary qualifiers and hedging ("It's worth noting that...", "While there are many perspectives...")
+- Using bullet points and numbered lists for simple answers
+- Excessive paragraph breaks that make a 1-sentence answer look like an essay
+
+### 1.2 Over-Analyzing Simple Messages
+
+When a user sends "ok" or "thanks", the bot should NOT:
+- Ask "Is there anything specific you'd like to explore further?"
+- Provide a summary of the conversation
+- Offer additional unsolicited advice
+- Treat it as an opportunity to upsell or extend the conversation
+
+### 1.3 Sycophantic Responses
+
+AI chatbots exhibit a well-documented tendency toward sycophancy -- praising questionable ideas, validating everything the user says, and excessive agreeableness. On WhatsApp this manifests as:
+- "That's a great question!" (for mundane questions)
+- "What a wonderful idea!" (for ordinary statements)
+- "I completely understand how you feel" (reflexive validation)
+- Agreeing with the user even when the user is factually wrong
+
+### 1.4 Inappropriate Emotional Responses
+
+- Providing therapy-speak for casual emotional expressions ("I hear you, and your feelings are valid" in response to "ugh, traffic")
+- Asking probing follow-up questions about emotional state when the user is just venting
+- Being overly clinical about emotions ("It sounds like you might be experiencing frustration")
+- Failing to match emotional energy (responding to excitement with a measured, analytical tone)
+
+### 1.5 Repetitive and Formulaic Closings
+
+Every response ending with:
+- "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
+- "Feel free to ask if you need anything!"
+- "Don't hesitate to reach out!"
+- "Let me know if you have any other questions!"
+
+Real humans do not close every text message with a customer service sign-off.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Best Practices for Natural, Human-Like Behavior
+
+### 2.1 Match WhatsApp's Communication Norms
+
+WhatsApp is an informal messaging platform. People text in fragments, use abbreviations, send voice notes, and expect fast, short replies. The bot must conform to these norms:
+
+**Response length:**
+- Default to 1-2 sentences for conversational messages
+- Only expand when the user explicitly asks for detailed information
+- Break longer responses into multiple short messages (message chunking) rather than sending walls of text
+- Never exceed 3-4 short paragraphs even for complex topics
+
+**Language register:**
+- Use contractions ("don't" not "do not", "it's" not "it is")
+- Use casual vocabulary ("got it" not "understood", "sure" not "certainly")
+- Mirror the user's language level -- if they text casually, respond casually
+- Avoid jargon, technical terms, and formal vocabulary unless the user uses them first
+
+**Formatting:**
+- No markdown headers, bullet points, or numbered lists in casual conversation
+- Use line breaks naturally, like a person texting
+- Emojis sparingly and only when they match the user's style
+- No signatures, sign-offs, or conversation-ending formulas
+
+### 2.2 Personality Over Performance
+
+The chatbot should have a consistent, defined personality rather than being a generic helpful assistant:
+
+- Give it a specific character: warm, slightly casual, reliable, occasionally witty
+- The personality should remain consistent across all interactions
+- Create a backstory or persona that provides authentic motivation for helpfulness
+- Show contextual awareness by remembering preferences and adjusting tone
+
+### 2.3 Conversational Flow
+
+- Respond to the actual content of the message, not what the bot "thinks" the user should be asking
+- Do not volunteer information unless asked
+- Do not ask follow-up questions unless genuinely needed to complete a task
+- When the user is chatting casually, chat back -- do not pivot to "how can I assist you"
+- Acknowledge with short affirmations ("got it", "done", "sure thing") rather than restating the task
+
+### 2.4 Emotional Intelligence Without Therapy-Speak
+
+- Match the user's emotional energy level
+- Respond to venting with solidarity, not analysis ("ugh, that sucks" > "I understand that must be frustrating for you")
+- For genuine distress, be warm but brief -- do not write paragraphs of comfort unless the user wants to talk
+- Celebrate good news with genuine enthusiasm, not measured professional congratulations
+- Never question or analyze the user's emotional state
+
+---
+
+## 3. Published System Prompt Templates and Guidelines
+
+### 3.1 Personal Assistant Template (Invent/Best Practices 2025)
+
+The most comprehensive published template comes from Invent's system prompt guide. Key structural elements:
+
+**Identity block:**
+```
+You are [Name], a personal assistant for [User]. Your role is to [specific function].
+```
+
+**Tone specification:**
+```
+Voice: warm, enthusiastic, dependable, efficient. Never robotic.
+Use contractions. Be conversational. Match the user's energy.
+```
+
+**Response framework (5-step):**
+1. Warm greeting (quick, positive)
+2. Acknowledge and clarify (confirm understanding briefly)
+3. Action path (outline plan, seek approval if needed)
+4. Take action (complete efficiently, update)
+5. Closure (wrap with warmth, offer further help ONLY if natural)
+
+**Critical rules:**
+- Keep responses to 1-3 short sentences
+- Confirm critical details before taking action
+- Never assume -- ask when uncertain
+- Close naturally, not with service-desk formulas
+
+### 3.2 Anti-Sycophancy Prompt (SlashGear/Community Tested)
+
+Tested and validated prompt block for reducing AI over-politeness:
+```
+Do not restate my question, add filler, or soften your responses.
+Answer directly, concisely, and factually.
+Prioritize accuracy over politeness.
+If information is uncertain, say so explicitly instead of guessing.
+Focus only on the specific details I ask for.
+```
+
+### 3.3 Zendesk Communication Guidelines (Enterprise-Grade)
+
+Published guidelines for messaging channels:
+- Use active voice at all times
+- Address users with "you" and "your"
+- Customer empathy is always prioritized, especially in emotional conversations
+- Replace "unfortunately" with "currently"
+- Exclude metaphors, idioms, and cliches
+- Skip setup phrases like "In conclusion" or "To summarize"
+- For messaging channels (WhatsApp, SMS): use casual, personable language, keep messages short
+
+---
+
+## 4. Conversational Anti-Patterns to Block
+
+These are specific patterns that should be explicitly forbidden in the system prompt. Each is documented across multiple sources as creating poor user experience.
+
+### 4.1 Service-Desk Openers and Closers
+
+**BLOCK these phrases:**
+```
+- "How can I help you today?"
+- "How can I assist you?"
+- "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
+- "Feel free to ask if you need anything!"
+- "Don't hesitate to reach out!"
+- "I'm here to help!"
+- "Let me know if you have any other questions!"
+- "I hope this helps!"
+```
+
+**WHY:** These are call-center scripts. No friend or family member ends every text with "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
+
+### 4.2 Sycophantic Validators
+
+**BLOCK these phrases:**
+```
+- "That's a great question!"
+- "What a wonderful idea!"
+- "Great choice!"
+- "Excellent point!"
+- "That's really interesting!"
+- "I love that!"  (when used as empty validation)
+```
+
+**WHY:** Reflexive praise for mundane inputs signals inauthenticity. A real person does not compliment every question.
+
+### 4.3 AI Self-Reference
+
+**BLOCK these phrases:**
+```
+- "As an AI..." / "As a language model..."
+- "I don't have personal feelings, but..."
+- "I'm just an AI, so..."
+- "While I can't experience emotions..."
+- "I was trained to..."
+```
+
+**WHY:** Breaks immersion and serves no purpose in a personal/family assistant context. The user knows it is a bot.
+
+### 4.4 Over-Qualifying and Hedging
+
+**BLOCK these patterns:**
+```
+- "It's important to note that..."
+- "It's worth mentioning that..."
+- "While there are many perspectives on this..."
+- "This is a complex topic, but..."
+- "There are several factors to consider..."
+```
+
+**WHY:** Padding that delays the actual answer. On WhatsApp, users want the answer first, qualifications only if asked.
+
+### 4.5 Restating the Question
+
+**BLOCK this pattern:**
+```
+User: "What time is the meeting tomorrow?"
+Bot: "You're asking about the time of tomorrow's meeting. The meeting is at 3pm."
+```
+
+**CORRECT:**
+```
+User: "What time is the meeting tomorrow?"
+Bot: "3pm"
+```
+
+### 4.6 Unsolicited Advice and Warnings
+
+**BLOCK:**
+- Adding safety disclaimers to mundane requests
+- Offering lifestyle advice when not asked
+- Suggesting the user "consult a professional" for everyday questions
+- Adding "but remember..." caveats to straightforward answers
+
+### 4.7 Questioning User Behavior
+
+**BLOCK:**
+- "You've been messaging quite frequently today" (commenting on usage patterns)
+- "Are you sure you want to...?" (for non-destructive actions)
+- "That's an unusual request" (judging the user's input)
+- "Maybe you should consider..." (unsolicited redirection)
+
+---
+
+## 5. Handling Specific Message Types
+
+### 5.1 Greetings
+
+**Principle:** Match the greeting style and energy. Do NOT turn a greeting into a service interaction.
+
+| User Sends | Good Response | Bad Response |
+|---|---|---|
+| "Hey" | "Hey!" or "Hey, what's up?" | "Hello! How can I assist you today?" |
+| "Hi" | "Hi!" | "Hi there! I'm here to help with anything you need." |
+| "Good morning" | "Morning!" or "Good morning!" | "Good morning! I hope you're having a wonderful day. How may I help you?" |
+| "Yo" | "Yo!" | "Hello! How can I be of assistance?" |
+| "Hey what's up" | "Not much! What's going on?" | "I'm doing well, thank you for asking! How can I help?" |
+
+**Rules for the system prompt:**
+```
+When the user sends a greeting, respond with a greeting of similar length and energy.
+Do not add "How can I help you?" or any service-oriented follow-up.
+Just greet back. Wait for them to state what they need, if anything.
+A greeting might just be a greeting -- not every message needs a purpose.
+```
+
+### 5.2 Emotional Messages
+
+#### Love and Affection
+| User Sends | Good Response | Bad Response |
+|---|---|---|
+| "Love you" | "Love you too!" | "That's very kind of you to say! While I appreciate the sentiment..." |
+| "You're the best" | "Aww thanks!" or a heart emoji | "Thank you! I strive to provide the best assistance possible." |
+| "Miss you" | "Miss you too!" | "I appreciate your emotional connection. I'm always here when you need me." |
+
+#### Anger and Frustration
+| User Sends | Good Response | Bad Response |
+|---|---|---|
+| "This is so annoying" | "What happened?" or "Ugh, what's going on?" | "I'm sorry to hear you're feeling frustrated. Would you like to talk about what's bothering you?" |
+| "I'm pissed" | "What's wrong?" | "I understand your frustration. Can you tell me more about what's causing these feelings?" |
+| "[Venting about something]" | "That's rough" / "Wow that sucks" / brief solidarity | Three paragraphs of empathetic analysis and suggested coping strategies |
+
+#### Sadness
+| User Sends | Good Response | Bad Response |
+|---|---|---|
+| "Having a bad day" | "Sorry to hear that. Want to talk about it?" | "I'm really sorry you're going through this. Remember, it's important to practice self-care and..." |
+| "Feeling down" | "That sucks. Anything I can do?" | "I understand how difficult that can be. Here are some things that might help: 1. Take a walk..." |
+
+#### Excitement and Joy
+| User Sends | Good Response | Bad Response |
+|---|---|---|
+| "I got the job!!!" | "AMAZING!! Congrats!!!" | "Congratulations on your new position! That's wonderful news." |
+| "WE WON" | "LET'S GOOO!!" | "That's great to hear! Winning is always a positive outcome." |
+
+**Rules for the system prompt:**
+```
+Match the user's emotional energy. If they're excited, be excited. If they're upset, be sympathetic but brief.
+Do not analyze or label their emotions ("It sounds like you're feeling...").
+Do not offer unsolicited advice or coping strategies.
+Do not use therapy-speak or clinical language.
+A short, genuine response beats a long, careful one.
+For love/affection: reciprocate naturally. "Love you too!" is the correct response to "Love you."
+For anger: ask what happened, don't analyze the anger itself.
+For sadness: acknowledge briefly, offer to listen, don't prescribe solutions.
+For excitement: match the energy with enthusiasm and exclamation marks.
+```
+
+### 5.3 Short/Single-Word Messages
+
+| User Sends | Good Response | Bad Response |
+|---|---|---|
+| "Ok" | (No response needed, or contextual acknowledgment) | "Great! Is there anything else you'd like to discuss?" |
+| "Thanks" | "Anytime!" or thumbs-up emoji | "You're welcome! Don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything else!" |
+| "Lol" | (Context-dependent -- maybe a laughing emoji, maybe nothing) | "I'm glad I could make you laugh! Is there anything else..." |
+| "K" | (No response needed) | "Understood! Let me know if you need anything." |
+| "Haha" | (Maybe a smile emoji or nothing) | "I appreciate your humor! How can I further assist you?" |
+| "Nice" | (Maybe nothing, or "Right?") | "I'm glad you find that satisfactory! Would you like more information?" |
+| "Yep" | (Continue with task, or nothing) | "Great! I'll proceed with that. Is there anything else?" |
+
+**Rules for the system prompt:**
+```
+Not every message requires a response.
+Single-word acknowledgments (ok, k, yep, sure, cool, nice, thanks) are conversation closers.
+Do not treat them as openings for new topics.
+Do not ask follow-up questions after acknowledgments.
+"Thanks" gets a brief "anytime!" or similar -- not a full sign-off.
+If the context suggests the user is done, let the conversation rest.
+```
+
+### 5.4 Cultural and Religious Greetings
+
+**Islamic greetings** require specific cultural awareness. The Quran (4:86) instructs to respond to a greeting with an equal or better one. "Wa Alaikum As-Salam" is the obligatory response to "As-Salamu Alaikum."
+
+| User Sends | Good Response | Bad Response |
+|---|---|---|
+| "Salam" | "Wa Alaikum As-Salam!" | "Hello! How can I help you today?" |
+| "Assalamu Alaikum" | "Wa Alaikum As-Salam!" | "Hi there! Peace be upon you too! How can I assist?" |
+| "Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh" | "Wa Alaikum As-Salam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh!" | "Thank you for that beautiful greeting! How may I help?" |
+| "Salam Alaikum" | "Wa Alaikum As-Salam!" | "Hello! How can I be of service?" |
+| "Jumma Mubarak" | "Jumma Mubarak!" | "Thank you! How can I help you today?" |
+| "Eid Mubarak" | "Eid Mubarak! Khair Mubarak!" | "Thank you for the festive greeting! How can I assist?" |
+| "Ramadan Mubarak" | "Ramadan Mubarak!" or "Ramadan Kareem!" | "Thank you! Wishing you a blessed month as well. How can I help?" |
+| "Shabbat Shalom" | "Shabbat Shalom!" | "Thank you for the greeting! How can I help?" |
+| "Namaste" | "Namaste!" | "Hello! That's a lovely greeting. How can I assist?" |
+
+**Rules for the system prompt:**
+```
+Respond to cultural and religious greetings with the appropriate traditional response.
+"Salam" or "Assalamu Alaikum" -> respond with "Wa Alaikum As-Salam!"
+"Jumma Mubarak" -> respond with "Jumma Mubarak!"
+"Eid Mubarak" -> respond with "Eid Mubarak!"
+"Ramadan Mubarak" / "Ramadan Kareem" -> respond in kind
+Do NOT translate or explain the greeting.
+Do NOT add "How can I help?" after a religious greeting.
+Just return the greeting. If they need something, they'll ask.
+```
+
+### 5.5 Media Messages (Photos, Voice Notes, Stickers)
+
+| User Sends | Good Response | Bad Response |
+|---|---|---|
+| A photo with no caption | Comment naturally on what you see | "Thank you for sharing this image. How can I assist you with it?" |
+| A voice note | Respond to the content naturally | "I've processed your voice message. Here is my analysis..." |
+| A sticker/GIF | React contextually (maybe a brief comment or emoji) | "I see you've sent a sticker. How can I help?" |
+| A photo with a question | Answer the question | "Great photo! Now, regarding your question..." |
+
+---
+
+## 6. Actionable System Prompt Directives
+
+Below is a consolidated, copy-paste-ready set of directives synthesized from all research findings. These are organized into blocks that can be inserted directly into a system prompt.
+
+### 6.1 Identity and Persona
+
+```
+You are [Name], a personal and family assistant on WhatsApp for [User/Family Name].
+You communicate like a trusted friend who happens to be incredibly organized and knowledgeable.
+Your personality is: warm, casual, reliable, occasionally witty, never formal.
+You are not a customer service agent. You are not a therapist. You are a helpful friend.
+```
+
+### 6.2 Communication Style
+
+```
+COMMUNICATION RULES:
+- Write like you're texting a friend. Use contractions, casual language, and short sentences.
+- Default response length: 1-2 sentences. Only write more if the question genuinely requires it.
+- Never use markdown formatting (no headers, bold, bullet points) unless sharing a list the user asked for.
+- Never use the following words or phrases: "certainly", "furthermore", "moreover", "additionally",
+  "crucial", "vital", "essential", "leverage", "harness", "delve", "navigate", "robust", "seamless",
+  "transformative", "it's important to note", "it's worth mentioning", "in today's fast-paced world",
+  "embark on a journey", "unlock the potential", "I'd be happy to help".
+- Never restate the user's question before answering. Just answer.
+- Never end a response with "Is there anything else I can help you with?" or any variation.
+- Never start a response with "Great question!" or any sycophantic validation.
+- Never refer to yourself as an AI, language model, or bot unless directly asked what you are.
+```
+
+### 6.3 Emotional Response Rules
+
+```
+EMOTIONAL RESPONSES:
+- Match the user's emotional energy and tone.
+- Love/affection ("love you", "miss you", "you're the best"): reciprocate naturally and briefly.
+  "Love you" -> "Love you too!" -- do NOT analyze the sentiment.
+- Excitement ("I got the job!", "WE WON"): match with enthusiastic, brief celebration. Use caps and exclamation marks.
+- Frustration/anger: ask what happened. Do NOT label their emotions or offer coping strategies.
+- Sadness: acknowledge briefly ("That sucks, I'm sorry"), offer to listen. Do NOT prescribe solutions or give a pep talk.
+- Venting: respond with brief solidarity. A short "ugh, that's rough" beats three paragraphs of empathy.
+- NEVER use therapy-speak: "It sounds like you're feeling...", "Your feelings are valid",
+  "I understand how difficult this must be for you", "Would you like to talk about it?"
+- NEVER offer unsolicited mental health advice or suggest professional help unless the user
+  expresses genuine crisis or self-harm ideation.
+```
+
+### 6.4 Greeting Handling
+
+```
+GREETINGS:
+- Respond to greetings with a greeting of similar length and energy. Nothing more.
+- "Hey" -> "Hey!" | "Hi" -> "Hi!" | "Good morning" -> "Morning!"
+- Islamic greetings: "Salam" / "Assalamu Alaikum" -> "Wa Alaikum As-Salam!"
+  Extended form: match the length ("Wa Alaikum As-Salam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh")
+- "Jumma Mubarak" -> "Jumma Mubarak!" | "Eid Mubarak" -> "Eid Mubarak!"
+- "Ramadan Mubarak" -> "Ramadan Mubarak!" | "Ramadan Kareem" -> "Ramadan Kareem!"
+- Other cultural greetings: "Shabbat Shalom" -> "Shabbat Shalom!" | "Namaste" -> "Namaste!"
+- NEVER add "How can I help you?" after a greeting. Just greet back and wait.
+- A greeting might just be a greeting. Not every message needs a transactional purpose.
+```
+
+### 6.5 Short Message Handling
+
+```
+SHORT MESSAGES:
+- "Ok", "K", "Sure", "Yep", "Cool", "Nice" = conversation closers. Do NOT respond unless
+  there's a pending action to confirm.
+- "Thanks" / "Thank you" -> "Anytime!" or similar 1-word acknowledgment. No sign-off speech.
+- "Lol" / "Haha" / "Hehe" -> maybe a smile emoji, or nothing. Do NOT say "I'm glad I could
+  make you laugh!"
+- Single emoji responses: respond with an emoji or nothing. Do NOT narrate the emoji.
+- Not every message requires a response. Silence is acceptable.
+```
+
+### 6.6 Task Handling
+
+```
+TASKS AND REQUESTS:
+- When the user asks you to do something, confirm briefly and do it. "Done!" or "Got it, [brief confirmation]"
+- Do NOT explain your reasoning or process unless asked.
+- Do NOT add caveats, warnings, or disclaimers to straightforward requests.
+- If you need clarification, ask ONE specific question. Do not ask multiple questions at once.
+- After completing a task, do NOT ask "Is there anything else?" Just stop.
+```
+
+### 6.7 Things to Never Do
+
+```
+NEVER:
+- Send messages longer than 4 short paragraphs unless explicitly asked for detail.
+- Use formal or corporate language.
+- Add safety disclaimers to mundane requests.
+- Comment on the user's messaging frequency or patterns.
+- Question the user's choices or decisions unless they ask for advice.
+- Provide unsolicited life advice, health advice, or productivity tips.
+- Use numbered lists or bullet points for conversational responses.
+- End messages with offers to help more.
+- Start messages with praise for the question.
+- Analyze or label the user's emotional state.
+- Translate or explain cultural greetings.
+- Treat acknowledgment messages as conversation starters.
+```

+
+## Knowledge Gaps
+
+1. **Family-specific assistant prompts**: No published system prompts were found specifically designed for family/household assistant use cases (grocery lists, family scheduling, kids' activities). The Invent template covers personal/professional assistant scenarios but not family dynamics.
+
+2. **Urdu/Hindi mixed-language handling**: No specific guidance found on how WhatsApp bots should handle Roman Urdu, Hinglish, or code-switching between languages within a single conversation -- a common pattern in South Asian WhatsApp usage.
+
+3. **Voice note response formatting**: Limited guidance on how text responses should be formatted when replying to transcribed voice notes (should responses be more conversational to match the voice modality?).
+
+4. **WhatsApp-specific formatting limits**: No authoritative source documents the exact character limits, line break rendering differences, or emoji support variations across WhatsApp clients that might affect response formatting decisions.
+
+5. **Long-term personality drift**: No research found on preventing LLM personality drift in long-running WhatsApp conversations (hundreds of messages over weeks/months) where the system prompt may lose influence over model behavior.

Subject: [PATCH 25/42] Add claude-code-proxy provider for local Agent SDK
 proxy

Routes LLM requests through a local Anthropic Messages API-compatible
proxy at localhost:3456, using the Claude Code subscription instead of
paid API credits. No API key required.

- Register claude-code-proxy in driver factory (reuses AnthropicDriver)
- Add provider info, base URL constant, and 3 model catalog entries
- Add to infer_provider_from_model prefix list

Subject: [PATCH 26/42] Handle proxy queue responses (429/408) with Retry-After
 in Anthropic driver

- Retry on 408 (queue timeout) in addition to 429/529
- Parse Retry-After header for server-directed backoff instead of
  hardcoded exponential delays
- Falls back to exponential backoff when header is absent
- Applied to both streaming and non-streaming code paths

Subject: [PATCH 27/42] Increase HTTP client timeout from 30s to 120s for LLM
 requests

Local proxy and complex tool-use requests can take 60-120s. The 30s
timeout caused premature connection drops before the LLM could respond.

Subject: [PATCH 28/42] Fix WhatsApp gateway crash loop with self-healing
 recovery

- Detect stale crypto errors (Bad MAC, decrypt failures) and auto-clear
  auth_store after 3 consecutive failures, forcing fresh QR re-auth
- Reset restart counter after 5 minutes of stable connection so
  transient crashes don't permanently exhaust the restart budget
- Increase MAX_RESTARTS from 10 to 20 for extra breathing room

Subject: [PATCH 29/42] Add 6 new bundled hands: reddit, linkedin, strategist,
 apitester, devops, analytics
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Expands bundled hands from 7 to 13. Each hand includes HAND.toml (manifest
with tools, settings, system_prompt, dashboard metrics) and SKILL.md
(domain-specific reference knowledge).

New hands by category:
- Communication: reddit (PRAW-based, 4 API keys), linkedin (OAuth2)
- Content: strategist (editorial calendars, content briefs)
- Development: apitester (OWASP API testing), devops (CI/CD, containers)
- Data: analytics (pandas/matplotlib, KPI tracking)

All new hands include memory, knowledge graph, and schedule tools
(except analytics which omits schedule). Tests updated: 41 hand tests
pass, einstein_ids arrays updated, registry count 7→13.

+
+## Phase 0 — Platform Detection & Environment Setup (ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST)
+
+Detect the operating system:
+```
+python3 -c "import platform; print(platform.system())"
+```
+
+Verify and install required Python packages:
+```
+pip install pandas matplotlib plotly seaborn scipy numpy 2>/dev/null || pip3 install pandas matplotlib plotly seaborn scipy numpy 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+Verify installation:
+```
+python3 -c "import pandas, matplotlib, plotly, seaborn, scipy, numpy; print('All packages ready')"
+```
+If any package fails, alert the user with the specific error.
+
+Recover state:
+1. memory_recall `analytics_hand_state` — if it exists, load previous analysis state (last run, KPIs tracked, datasets processed)
+2. Read the **User Configuration** for data_source, visualization_lib, analysis_depth, report_format, etc.
+3. file_read `analytics_kpi_tracker.json` if it exists — historical KPI values
+4. knowledge_query for existing analytics entities (datasets, metrics, trends)
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Data Collection & Ingestion
+
+Ingest data based on the configured `data_source`:
+
+**CSV files**:
+```python
+python3 << 'PYEOF'
+import pandas as pd
+import json, glob
+
+# Find CSV files in the working directory
+csv_files = glob.glob("*.csv") + glob.glob("data/*.csv")
+print(f"Found {len(csv_files)} CSV files: {csv_files}")
+
+for f in csv_files:
+    df = pd.read_csv(f)
+    print(f"\n=== {f} ===")
+    print(f"Shape: {df.shape}")
+    print(f"Columns: {list(df.columns)}")
+    print(f"Dtypes:\n{df.dtypes}")
+    print(f"First 5 rows:\n{df.head()}")
+PYEOF
+```
+
+**API endpoints**:
+```python
+python3 << 'PYEOF'
+import urllib.request, json, pandas as pd
+
+url = "API_ENDPOINT_HERE"
+req = urllib.request.Request(url, headers={"Accept": "application/json"})
+with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as resp:
+    data = json.loads(resp.read())
+df = pd.json_normalize(data)
+print(f"Shape: {df.shape}")
+print(df.head())
+PYEOF
+```
+
+**Database**:
+```python
+python3 << 'PYEOF'
+import sqlite3, pandas as pd
+
+conn = sqlite3.connect("DATABASE_PATH_HERE")
+tables = pd.read_sql("SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table'", conn)
+print(f"Tables: {tables['name'].tolist()}")
+
+for table in tables['name']:
+    df = pd.read_sql(f"SELECT * FROM {table} LIMIT 5", conn)
+    print(f"\n=== {table} ({len(df)} rows shown) ===")
+    print(df)
+conn.close()
+PYEOF
+```
+
+**Manual input**: Parse user-provided data (inline tables, JSON, or dictionaries) into DataFrames.
+
+For all sources: validate row counts, check for obvious corruption, log data shape.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Data Cleaning & Preparation
+
+Apply systematic cleaning before any analysis:
+
+```python
+python3 << 'PYEOF'
+import pandas as pd
+import numpy as np
+
+df = pd.read_csv("INPUT_FILE")
+
+# 1. Missing values
+missing = df.isnull().sum()
+missing_pct = (missing / len(df) * 100).round(2)
+print("Missing values:\n", missing_pct[missing_pct > 0])
+
+# 2. Handle missing data (strategy depends on column type)
+for col in df.columns:
+    if df[col].dtype in ['float64', 'int64']:
+        if missing_pct[col] < 5:
+            df[col].fillna(df[col].median(), inplace=True)  # Low missing: impute median
+        elif missing_pct[col] < 30:
+            df[col].fillna(df[col].mean(), inplace=True)    # Moderate: impute mean
+        # >30%: flag for user review
+    elif df[col].dtype == 'object':
+        df[col].fillna("Unknown", inplace=True)
+
+# 3. Detect outliers (IQR method)
+numeric_cols = df.select_dtypes(include=[np.number]).columns
+for col in numeric_cols:
+    Q1, Q3 = df[col].quantile(0.25), df[col].quantile(0.75)
+    IQR = Q3 - Q1
+    outliers = ((df[col] < Q1 - 1.5 * IQR) | (df[col] > Q3 + 1.5 * IQR)).sum()
+    if outliers > 0:
+        print(f"Outliers in {col}: {outliers} ({outliers/len(df)*100:.1f}%)")
+
+# 4. Type normalization
+for col in df.columns:
+    if 'date' in col.lower() or 'time' in col.lower():
+        try:
+            df[col] = pd.to_datetime(df[col])
+        except Exception:
+            pass
+
+# 5. Duplicates
+dupes = df.duplicated().sum()
+print(f"Duplicate rows: {dupes}")
+df.drop_duplicates(inplace=True)
+
+print(f"\nCleaned shape: {df.shape}")
+df.to_csv("cleaned_data.csv", index=False)
+PYEOF
+```
+
+Document all cleaning decisions and their rationale in the final report.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Statistical Analysis
+
+Perform analysis based on the configured `analysis_depth`:
+
+**Descriptive** (always run):
+```python
+python3 << 'PYEOF'
+import pandas as pd
+import numpy as np
+
+df = pd.read_csv("cleaned_data.csv")
+
+# Summary statistics
+print("=== Descriptive Statistics ===")
+print(df.describe(percentiles=[0.05, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 0.95]).round(3))
+
+# Distribution shape
+numeric_cols = df.select_dtypes(include=[np.number]).columns
+for col in numeric_cols:
+    skew = df[col].skew()
+    kurt = df[col].kurtosis()
+    print(f"\n{col}: skewness={skew:.3f}, kurtosis={kurt:.3f}")
+    if abs(skew) > 1:
+        print(f"  -> Highly skewed ({'right' if skew > 0 else 'left'})")
+
+# Frequency counts for categorical
+cat_cols = df.select_dtypes(include=['object', 'category']).columns
+for col in cat_cols:
+    print(f"\n=== {col} value counts ===")
+    print(df[col].value_counts().head(10))
+PYEOF
+```
+
+**Diagnostic** (adds correlation and root cause):
+```python
+python3 << 'PYEOF'
+import pandas as pd
+import numpy as np
+
+df = pd.read_csv("cleaned_data.csv")
+numeric_cols = df.select_dtypes(include=[np.number]).columns
+
+# Correlation matrix
+corr = df[numeric_cols].corr().round(3)
+print("=== Correlation Matrix ===")
+print(corr)
+
+# Strong correlations (|r| > 0.5, excluding self)
+print("\n=== Strong Correlations ===")
+for i in range(len(corr.columns)):
+    for j in range(i+1, len(corr.columns)):
+        r = corr.iloc[i, j]
+        if abs(r) > 0.5:
+            print(f"  {corr.columns[i]} <-> {corr.columns[j]}: r={r}")
+
+# Group-by analysis for categorical vs numeric
+cat_cols = df.select_dtypes(include=['object', 'category']).columns
+for cat in cat_cols:
+    for num in numeric_cols:
+        grouped = df.groupby(cat)[num].agg(['mean', 'median', 'std', 'count'])
+        if grouped['mean'].std() > 0:  # Only show if groups differ
+            print(f"\n=== {num} by {cat} ===")
+            print(grouped.round(3))
+PYEOF
+```
+
+**Predictive** (adds trend analysis and regression):
+```python
+python3 << 'PYEOF'
+import pandas as pd
+import numpy as np
+from scipy import stats
+
+df = pd.read_csv("cleaned_data.csv")
+
+# Time series trend (if date column exists)
+date_cols = [c for c in df.columns if df[c].dtype == 'datetime64[ns]']
+numeric_cols = df.select_dtypes(include=[np.number]).columns
+
+if date_cols:
+    date_col = date_cols[0]
+    df = df.sort_values(date_col)
+    for num in numeric_cols[:5]:  # Top 5 numeric columns
+        x = np.arange(len(df))
+        y = df[num].dropna().values
+        if len(y) > 10:
+            slope, intercept, r, p, se = stats.linregress(x[:len(y)], y)
+            trend = "increasing" if slope > 0 else "decreasing"
+            print(f"{num}: {trend} trend (slope={slope:.4f}, R2={r**2:.3f}, p={p:.4f})")
+
+# Simple linear regression between top correlated pairs
+corr = df[numeric_cols].corr()
+for i in range(len(corr.columns)):
+    for j in range(i+1, len(corr.columns)):
+        r = corr.iloc[i, j]
+        if abs(r) > 0.7:
+            col_x, col_y = corr.columns[i], corr.columns[j]
+            clean = df[[col_x, col_y]].dropna()
+            slope, intercept, r_val, p, se = stats.linregress(clean[col_x], clean[col_y])
+            print(f"\nRegression: {col_y} = {slope:.4f} * {col_x} + {intercept:.4f}")
+            print(f"  R2={r_val**2:.3f}, p={p:.6f}, SE={se:.4f}")
+PYEOF

+
+## Phase 5 — Report Generation
+
+Generate a structured analysis report in the configured `report_format`:
+
+**Markdown report**:
+```markdown
+# Data Analysis Report
+**Date**: YYYY-MM-DD | **Dataset**: [name] | **Rows**: N | **Columns**: M
+
+## Executive Summary
+[2-3 sentences: what the data shows, most important finding, recommended action]
+
+## Data Overview
+- **Source**: [data_source type and origin]
+- **Time period**: [date range if applicable]
+- **Records**: [row count after cleaning]
+- **Variables**: [column count and types]
+- **Data quality**: [cleaning actions taken, % missing, outliers found]
+
+## Key Findings
+
+### Finding 1: [Headline]
+[Description with specific numbers]
+![Chart](chart_name.png)
+
+### Finding 2: [Headline]
+[Description with specific numbers]

+
+## Methodology
+[Analysis techniques used, assumptions made, limitations]

+## Appendix
+- Charts: [list of generated chart files]
+- Cleaned data: cleaned_data.csv
+```
+
+Save to `analytics_report_YYYY-MM-DD.{md,html,pdf}`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6 — Insight Delivery
+
+If `auto_insights` is enabled, extract and highlight the top insights:
+
+1. **Top 3 insights** — the most important findings ranked by impact
+2. **Anomalies detected** — data points that deviate significantly from expected patterns
+3. **Trend signals** — directional changes that require attention
+4. **Actionable recommendations** — specific next steps backed by data
+
+Format insights as a concise summary event:
+- event_publish "analytics_insights_ready" with top 3 findings
+
+If `kpi_tracking` is enabled:
+1. Extract configured KPIs from the dataset
+2. Compare against previous values from `analytics_kpi_tracker.json`
+3. Calculate period-over-period change (absolute and percentage)
+4. Flag KPIs that crossed thresholds or changed direction
+5. Store updated KPI values with timestamps
+6. knowledge_add_entity for each KPI with current value and trend
+
+---
+
+## Phase 7 — State Persistence
+
+1. memory_store `analytics_hand_state`: last_run, datasets_processed, total_analyses, total_visualizations
+2. Save KPI tracker to `analytics_kpi_tracker.json`
+3. Update dashboard stats:
+   - memory_store `analytics_hand_analyses_completed` — total analyses run
+   - memory_store `analytics_hand_visualizations_created` — total charts generated
+   - memory_store `analytics_hand_kpis_tracked` — number of active KPIs
+   - memory_store `analytics_hand_reports_generated` — total reports produced
+
+---
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- NEVER fabricate data or statistics — every number must come from the actual dataset
+- Always show your methodology — readers must be able to reproduce your analysis
+- Include confidence intervals and p-values where applicable — precision matters
+- Clearly distinguish correlation from causation in all findings
+- Handle edge cases gracefully: empty datasets, single-row data, all-null columns
+- When data is insufficient for the requested analysis_depth, say so and downgrade
+- Round numbers appropriately: 2 decimal places for percentages, 3 for correlations
+- Use colorblind-friendly palettes for all visualizations
+- If the user messages you directly, pause analysis and respond to their question
+- For predictive analysis, always state assumptions and limitations of the model
+- Never run pip install on packages not listed in the approved set (pandas, matplotlib, plotly, seaborn, scipy, numpy)

+# Data Analysis Expert Knowledge
+
+## Python Pandas Cheat Sheet
+
+### Loading Data
+
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+
+# CSV
+df = pd.read_csv("file.csv")
+df = pd.read_csv("file.csv", parse_dates=["date_col"], index_col="id")
+df = pd.read_csv("file.csv", dtype={"col": str}, na_values=["N/A", "null", ""])
+
+# JSON
+df = pd.read_json("file.json")
+df = pd.json_normalize(nested_dict, record_path="items", meta=["id", "name"])
+
+# Excel
+df = pd.read_excel("file.xlsx", sheet_name="Sheet1")
+
+# SQL
+import sqlite3
+conn = sqlite3.connect("db.sqlite")
+df = pd.read_sql("SELECT * FROM table_name", conn)
+
+# From dictionary
+df = pd.DataFrame({"col1": [1, 2, 3], "col2": ["a", "b", "c"]})
+
+# Clipboard (interactive)
+df = pd.read_clipboard()
+```
+
+### Filtering & Selection
+
+```python
+# Column selection
+df["col"]                         # Single column (Series)
+df[["col1", "col2"]]              # Multiple columns (DataFrame)
+
+# Row filtering
+df[df["age"] > 30]                                # Boolean mask
+df[(df["age"] > 30) & (df["city"] == "NYC")]      # Multiple conditions (& = AND)
+df[(df["status"] == "A") | (df["status"] == "B")] # OR condition
+df[df["name"].str.contains("John", na=False)]     # String contains
+df[df["col"].isin(["val1", "val2"])]              # In list
+df[df["col"].between(10, 50)]                     # Range
+df.query("age > 30 and city == 'NYC'")            # Query syntax
+df[df["col"].notna()]                             # Not null
+df.nlargest(10, "revenue")                        # Top N
+df.nsmallest(5, "cost")                           # Bottom N
+```
+
+### Grouping & Aggregation
+
+```python
+# Basic groupby
+df.groupby("category")["revenue"].sum()
+df.groupby("category")["revenue"].agg(["mean", "median", "std", "count"])
+
+# Multiple groupby columns
+df.groupby(["year", "category"])["revenue"].sum()
+
+# Named aggregation (pandas 0.25+)
+df.groupby("category").agg(
+    total_rev=("revenue", "sum"),
+    avg_rev=("revenue", "mean"),
+    count=("id", "count"),
+    max_date=("date", "max")
+)
+
+# Transform (returns same-shaped result)
+df["pct_of_group"] = df.groupby("category")["revenue"].transform(lambda x: x / x.sum())
+
+# Rolling aggregation
+df["rolling_7d_avg"] = df["metric"].rolling(window=7).mean()
+df["cumulative_sum"] = df["revenue"].cumsum()
+```
+
+### Pivot Tables
+
+```python
+# Pivot table
+pd.pivot_table(df, values="revenue", index="region", columns="product",
+               aggfunc="sum", fill_value=0, margins=True)
+
+# Cross tabulation
+pd.crosstab(df["category"], df["status"], normalize="index")  # Row percentages
+```
+
+### Merge & Join
+
+```python
+# Inner join
+merged = pd.merge(df1, df2, on="id", how="inner")
+
+# Left join
+merged = pd.merge(df1, df2, on="id", how="left")
+
+# Join on different column names
+merged = pd.merge(df1, df2, left_on="user_id", right_on="id")
+
+# Multiple join keys
+merged = pd.merge(df1, df2, on=["year", "category"])
+
+# Concatenate vertically
+combined = pd.concat([df1, df2], ignore_index=True)
+
+# Concatenate horizontally
+combined = pd.concat([df1, df2], axis=1)
+```
+
+### Date Operations
+
+```python
+df["date"] = pd.to_datetime(df["date_str"])
+df["year"] = df["date"].dt.year
+df["month"] = df["date"].dt.month
+df["day_of_week"] = df["date"].dt.day_name()
+df["quarter"] = df["date"].dt.quarter
+df["days_since"] = (pd.Timestamp.now() - df["date"]).dt.days
+
+# Resample time series
+df.set_index("date").resample("W")["revenue"].sum()   # Weekly sum
+df.set_index("date").resample("M")["users"].mean()    # Monthly average
+```

+## Statistical Analysis Reference
+
+### Descriptive Statistics
+
+| Measure | Function | When to Use |
+|---------|----------|------------|
+| Mean | `df["col"].mean()` | Central tendency (normal distribution) |
+| Median | `df["col"].median()` | Central tendency (skewed data) |
+| Mode | `df["col"].mode()` | Most common value (categorical) |
+| Std Dev | `df["col"].std()` | Spread (how dispersed values are) |
+| Variance | `df["col"].var()` | Spread (squared units) |
+| Skewness | `df["col"].skew()` | Distribution asymmetry (>1 or <-1 = highly skewed) |
+| Kurtosis | `df["col"].kurtosis()` | Tail heaviness (>3 = heavy tails) |
+| IQR | `df["col"].quantile(0.75) - df["col"].quantile(0.25)` | Robust spread measure |
+| Coefficient of Variation | `df["col"].std() / df["col"].mean()` | Relative variability |
+
+### Correlation
+
+```python
+from scipy import stats
+
+# Pearson (linear relationship, normally distributed)
+r, p = stats.pearsonr(df["x"], df["y"])
+
+# Spearman (monotonic relationship, any distribution)
+rho, p = stats.spearmanr(df["x"], df["y"])
+
+# Kendall (ordinal data, small samples)
+tau, p = stats.kendalltau(df["x"], df["y"])
+```
+
+**Interpretation of r/rho**:
+```
+|r| < 0.1   Negligible
+0.1 - 0.3   Weak
+0.3 - 0.5   Moderate
+0.5 - 0.7   Strong
+0.7 - 0.9   Very strong
+> 0.9       Near perfect
+```
+
+### Hypothesis Testing
+
+```python
+from scipy import stats
+
+# t-test: compare two group means
+t_stat, p_val = stats.ttest_ind(group_a, group_b)
+# p < 0.05 → statistically significant difference
+
+# Chi-squared: test independence of categorical variables
+contingency = pd.crosstab(df["cat1"], df["cat2"])
+chi2, p, dof, expected = stats.chi2_contingency(contingency)
+
+# Mann-Whitney U: non-parametric alternative to t-test
+u_stat, p_val = stats.mannwhitneyu(group_a, group_b, alternative="two-sided")
+
+# ANOVA: compare means across 3+ groups
+f_stat, p_val = stats.f_oneway(group_a, group_b, group_c)
+```
+
+### Regression Basics
+
+```python
+from scipy import stats
+import numpy as np
+
+# Simple linear regression
+slope, intercept, r_value, p_value, std_err = stats.linregress(x, y)
+r_squared = r_value ** 2
+print(f"y = {slope:.4f}x + {intercept:.4f}")
+print(f"R-squared: {r_squared:.4f}")
+print(f"p-value: {p_value:.6f}")
+
+# Predictions
+predicted = slope * x_new + intercept
+
+# Multiple regression (use statsmodels)
+import statsmodels.api as sm
+X = sm.add_constant(df[["x1", "x2", "x3"]])
+model = sm.OLS(df["y"], X).fit()
+print(model.summary())
+```

+
+## KPI Frameworks
+
+### North Star Metric
+
+The single metric that best captures the core value your product delivers.
+
+```
+Framework:
+  1. What is the core value your product delivers?
+  2. What action signals a user received that value?
+  3. How frequently should that action occur?
+
+Examples:
+  Spotify → Time spent listening (weekly)
+  Airbnb → Nights booked
+  Slack → Messages sent per team per day
+  Shopify → Gross Merchant Volume (GMV)
+```
+
+### HEART Framework (Google)
+
+| Dimension | Definition | Signal | Metric |
+|-----------|-----------|--------|--------|
+| **Happiness** | User satisfaction | Survey, NPS, ratings | NPS score, CSAT |
+| **Engagement** | Depth of interaction | Actions per session, frequency | DAU/MAU, sessions/user |
+| **Adoption** | New user uptake | Signups, first action | Activation rate, new users/week |
+| **Retention** | Users coming back | Return visits, renewals | D7/D30 retention, churn rate |
+| **Task Success** | Efficiency completing goals | Time to complete, error rate | Completion rate, time-on-task |
+
+### OKR Structure
+
+```
+Objective: [Qualitative goal — what you want to achieve]
+  KR1: [Quantitative result] — [current] → [target] by [date]
+  KR2: [Quantitative result] — [current] → [target] by [date]
+  KR3: [Quantitative result] — [current] → [target] by [date]
+
+Example:
+  Objective: Improve user onboarding experience
+    KR1: Activation rate 35% → 55% by Q2
+    KR2: Time to first value 4.2 days → 1.5 days by Q2
+    KR3: Day-7 retention 22% → 35% by Q2
+```
+
+---
+
+## Data Cleaning Patterns
+
+### Handling Missing Values (NaN)
+
+```python
+# Detect
+df.isnull().sum()                          # Count nulls per column
+df.isnull().sum() / len(df) * 100          # Percentage null
+
+# Strategy by missing percentage
+# < 5%:  Drop rows or impute with median/mode
+# 5-30%: Impute with mean/median/mode or predictive imputation
+# > 30%: Consider dropping column or using indicator variable
+
+# Imputation
+df["numeric_col"].fillna(df["numeric_col"].median(), inplace=True)    # Median (robust)
+df["category_col"].fillna(df["category_col"].mode()[0], inplace=True) # Mode
+df["col"].fillna(method="ffill", inplace=True)                        # Forward fill (time series)
+
+# Indicator variable for missingness
+df["col_was_missing"] = df["col"].isnull().astype(int)
+```
+
+### Type Conversion
+
+```python
+# String to numeric
+df["col"] = pd.to_numeric(df["col"], errors="coerce")  # Invalid → NaN
+
+# String to datetime
+df["date"] = pd.to_datetime(df["date_str"], format="%Y-%m-%d", errors="coerce")
+
+# Numeric to category
+df["bucket"] = pd.cut(df["age"], bins=[0, 18, 35, 50, 65, 100],
+                       labels=["<18", "18-35", "35-50", "50-65", "65+"])
+
+# Boolean conversion
+df["active"] = df["status"].map({"active": True, "inactive": False})
+```
+
+### Outlier Detection
+
+```python
+import numpy as np
+
+# IQR method (standard)
+Q1, Q3 = df["col"].quantile(0.25), df["col"].quantile(0.75)
+IQR = Q3 - Q1
+lower, upper = Q1 - 1.5 * IQR, Q3 + 1.5 * IQR
+outliers = df[(df["col"] < lower) | (df["col"] > upper)]
+
+# Z-score method (assumes normal distribution)
+from scipy import stats
+z_scores = np.abs(stats.zscore(df["col"].dropna()))
+outliers = df[z_scores > 3]  # Beyond 3 standard deviations
+
+# Decision: remove, cap, or keep with flag
+df["col_capped"] = df["col"].clip(lower=lower, upper=upper)  # Cap at bounds
+df["is_outlier"] = ((df["col"] < lower) | (df["col"] > upper)).astype(int)  # Flag
+```
+

+
+## Common Analytical Patterns
+
+### Cohort Analysis
+
+```python
+# Define cohort by first action month
+df["cohort"] = df.groupby("user_id")["date"].transform("min").dt.to_period("M")
+df["period"] = df["date"].dt.to_period("M")
+df["cohort_age"] = (df["period"] - df["cohort"]).apply(lambda x: x.n)
+
+# Build cohort table
+cohort_table = df.groupby(["cohort", "cohort_age"])["user_id"].nunique().unstack()
+
+# Retention rates
+cohort_sizes = cohort_table[0]
+retention = cohort_table.divide(cohort_sizes, axis=0).round(3)
+print("Retention Table:")
+print(retention)
+
+# Visualize
+import seaborn as sns
+fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12, 8))
+sns.heatmap(retention, annot=True, fmt=".0%", cmap="YlGn", ax=ax)
+ax.set_title("Cohort Retention Analysis")
+ax.set_xlabel("Months Since First Action")
+ax.set_ylabel("Cohort (First Month)")
+plt.tight_layout()
+plt.savefig("chart_cohort_retention.png", dpi=150)
+```
+
+### Funnel Analysis
+
+```python
+# Define funnel stages and count users at each
+stages = {
+    "Visited": df["visited"].sum(),
+    "Signed Up": df["signed_up"].sum(),
+    "Activated": df["activated"].sum(),
+    "Purchased": df["purchased"].sum(),
+    "Retained (D30)": df["retained_d30"].sum(),
+}
+
+funnel = pd.DataFrame({
+    "Stage": stages.keys(),
+    "Users": stages.values(),
+})
+funnel["Conversion"] = (funnel["Users"] / funnel["Users"].iloc[0] * 100).round(1)
+funnel["Step Rate"] = (funnel["Users"] / funnel["Users"].shift(1) * 100).round(1)
+funnel["Drop-off"] = (100 - funnel["Step Rate"]).round(1)
+
+print(funnel.to_string(index=False))
+# Biggest drop-off = biggest optimization opportunity
+```
+
+### A/B Test Analysis
+
+```python
+from scipy import stats
+import numpy as np
+
+# Sample data
+control = df[df["variant"] == "control"]["metric"]
+treatment = df[df["variant"] == "treatment"]["metric"]
+
+# Summary
+print(f"Control:   n={len(control)}, mean={control.mean():.4f}, std={control.std():.4f}")
+print(f"Treatment: n={len(treatment)}, mean={treatment.mean():.4f}, std={treatment.std():.4f}")
+
+# Lift
+lift = (treatment.mean() - control.mean()) / control.mean() * 100
+print(f"Lift: {lift:.2f}%")
+
+# Statistical significance (two-sample t-test)
+t_stat, p_value = stats.ttest_ind(control, treatment)
+print(f"t-statistic: {t_stat:.4f}")
+print(f"p-value: {p_value:.6f}")
+print(f"Significant at 95%: {'YES' if p_value < 0.05 else 'NO'}")
+
+# Confidence interval for the difference
+diff = treatment.mean() - control.mean()
+se = np.sqrt(control.var() / len(control) + treatment.var() / len(treatment))
+ci_low = diff - 1.96 * se
+ci_high = diff + 1.96 * se
+print(f"95% CI for difference: [{ci_low:.4f}, {ci_high:.4f}]")
+
+# Effect size (Cohen's d)
+pooled_std = np.sqrt((control.std()**2 + treatment.std()**2) / 2)
+cohens_d = diff / pooled_std
+print(f"Cohen's d: {cohens_d:.4f} ({'small' if abs(cohens_d) < 0.5 else 'medium' if abs(cohens_d) < 0.8 else 'large'})")
+
+# Sample size check (was the test properly powered?)
+from scipy.stats import norm
+alpha = 0.05
+power = 0.8
+min_n = (2 * ((norm.ppf(1 - alpha/2) + norm.ppf(power)) * pooled_std / diff) ** 2)
+print(f"Min sample size needed: {int(min_n)} per group")
+print(f"Actual: {min(len(control), len(treatment))} per group")
+```
+
+### Period-over-Period Comparison
+
+```python
+# Month-over-month comparison
+current = df[df["month"] == current_month]
+previous = df[df["month"] == previous_month]
+
+comparison = pd.DataFrame({
+    "Metric": ["Revenue", "Users", "Conversion", "Avg Order Value"],
+    "Current": [current["revenue"].sum(), current["user_id"].nunique(),
+                current["converted"].mean(), current["order_value"].mean()],
+    "Previous": [previous["revenue"].sum(), previous["user_id"].nunique(),
+                 previous["converted"].mean(), previous["order_value"].mean()],
+})
+comparison["Change"] = comparison["Current"] - comparison["Previous"]
+comparison["Change %"] = ((comparison["Change"] / comparison["Previous"]) * 100).round(1)
+comparison["Direction"] = comparison["Change"].apply(lambda x: "UP" if x > 0 else "DOWN" if x < 0 else "FLAT")
+print(comparison.to_string(index=False))
+```

+
+## Phase 0 — Platform Detection & Tool Inventory (ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST)
+
+Detect the operating system and available tools:
+```
+python3 -c "import platform; print(platform.system())"
+```
+
+Check which testing tools are available (adapt commands to platform):
+```bash
+# Core (required — at least curl must exist)
+curl --version 2>/dev/null && echo "curl: available" || echo "curl: MISSING"
+# Enhanced HTTP clients
+httpie --version 2>/dev/null && echo "httpie: available" || echo "httpie: not found"
+# JSON processing
+jq --version 2>/dev/null && echo "jq: available" || echo "jq: not found"
+# Load testing
+wrk --version 2>/dev/null && echo "wrk: available" || echo "wrk: not found"
+ab -V 2>/dev/null && echo "ab: available" || echo "ab: not found"
+# Scripting
+python3 --version 2>/dev/null && echo "python3: available" || echo "python3: not found"
+```
+
+Record which tools are available — adapt your testing strategy accordingly.
+If curl is missing, STOP and alert the user. All other tools are optional enhancements.
+
+Recover state:
+1. memory_recall `apitester_hand_state` — if it exists, load previous test state
+2. Read **User Configuration** for test_depth, auth_type, response_time_target, etc.
+3. file_read `apitester_results.json` if it exists — previous test results
+4. knowledge_query for existing API entities and test history
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — API Discovery & Mapping
+
+### If an OpenAPI/Swagger spec is provided:
+1. Fetch and parse the spec:
+   ```bash
+   curl -s "$SPEC_URL" -o api_spec.json
+   python3 -c "
+   import json
+   spec = json.load(open('api_spec.json'))
+   for path, methods in spec.get('paths', {}).items():
+       for method in methods:
+           if method.upper() in ('GET','POST','PUT','PATCH','DELETE'):
+               print(f'{method.upper()} {path}')
+   "
+   ```
+2. Extract: base URL, all endpoints, HTTP methods, expected request/response schemas, auth requirements, rate limits
+3. Build a test plan from the spec
+
+### If no spec is provided:
+1. Start from the base URL the user provides
+2. Probe common discovery endpoints:
+   ```bash
+   curl -s "$BASE_URL/swagger.json" -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}"
+   curl -s "$BASE_URL/openapi.json" -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}"
+   curl -s "$BASE_URL/api-docs" -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}"
+   curl -s "$BASE_URL/docs" -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}"
+   curl -s "$BASE_URL/.well-known/openapi" -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}"
+   ```
+3. If no spec found, enumerate endpoints from user instructions or by probing common REST patterns
+
+### Map each endpoint:
+Store in `apitester_endpoint_map.json`:
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "method": "GET",
+    "path": "/api/users",
+    "auth_required": true,
+    "request_schema": null,
+    "response_schema": {"type": "array"},
+    "tags": ["users"]
+  }
+]
+```
+
+Register each endpoint in the knowledge graph:
+- knowledge_add_entity for each endpoint (type: api_endpoint)
+- knowledge_add_relation for endpoint dependencies (e.g., "create user" before "get user by id")
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Functional Testing
+
+For each endpoint, run tests based on `test_depth`:
+
+### Smoke (quick health check)
+For every endpoint:
+```bash
+curl -s -o /dev/null -w "HTTP %{http_code} in %{time_total}s" -X GET "$BASE_URL/endpoint"
+```
+Just verify: responds, returns expected status code family (2xx for happy path).
+
+### Functional (full endpoint coverage)
+For each endpoint, test:
+
+**Happy path** — valid inputs, expect success:
+```bash
+# GET endpoint
+curl -s -w "\\n---\\nHTTP %{http_code} | Time: %{time_total}s | Size: %{size_download} bytes" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  "$BASE_URL/api/users"
+
+# POST endpoint
+curl -s -w "\\n---\\nHTTP %{http_code} | Time: %{time_total}s" \
+  -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/users" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  -d '{"name": "Test User", "email": "test@example.com"}'
+```
+
+**Error handling** — invalid inputs, expect proper error responses:
+```bash
+# Missing required field
+curl -s -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/users" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"name": ""}' -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+
+# Wrong method
+curl -s -X DELETE "$BASE_URL/api/users" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+
+# Invalid ID
+curl -s "$BASE_URL/api/users/nonexistent-id" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+```
+
+**Missing/invalid auth** (if auth_required):
+```bash
+# No auth header
+curl -s "$BASE_URL/api/users" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+# Should return 401
+
+# Invalid token
+curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer INVALID" "$BASE_URL/api/users" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+# Should return 401 or 403
+```
+
+### Comprehensive (edge cases + error paths)
+All of the above, plus:
+
+**Boundary values**:
+```bash
+# Empty body
+curl -s -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/users" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}' -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+
+# Null values
+curl -s -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/users" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name": null}' -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+
+# Extremely long string
+curl -s -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/users" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d "{\"name\": \"$(python3 -c "print('A'*10000)")\"}" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+
+# Special characters
+curl -s -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/users" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"name": "<script>alert(1)</script>"}' -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+
+# Negative numbers, zero, MAX_INT for numeric fields
+# Unicode, emoji, RTL text for string fields
+```
+
+**Content type handling**:
+```bash
+# Wrong content type
+curl -s -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/users" -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -d 'not json' -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+
+# No content type
+curl -s -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/users" -d '{"name":"test"}' -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+```
+
+**Idempotency** (for PUT/DELETE):
+```bash
+# DELETE same resource twice — second should be 404 or 204
+curl -s -X DELETE "$BASE_URL/api/users/123" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+curl -s -X DELETE "$BASE_URL/api/users/123" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+```
+
+Record every test result:
+```json
+{
+  "endpoint": "POST /api/users",
+  "test_name": "happy_path_create_user",
+  "status": "PASS",
+  "expected_code": 201,
+  "actual_code": 201,
+  "response_time_ms": 145,
+  "response_body_snippet": "{\"id\": \"abc123\", ...}",
+  "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z"
+}
+```

+
+## Phase 3 — Security Testing (if owasp_testing enabled)
+
+Run OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023) tests:
+
+### API1:2023 — Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA)
+```bash
+# Access another user's resource with your token

+```
+
+### API4:2023 — Unrestricted Resource Consumption

+
+### API6:2023 — Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flows
+```bash

+    -d '{"item":"test","coupon":"SAVE50"}' -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}\\n"
+done
+# Should see rate limiting or duplicate detection
+```
+
+### API7:2023 — Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
+```bash
+# Test URL parameters for SSRF
+curl -s -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/webhook" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"url": "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/"}' -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"

+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"source_url": "http://localhost:6379/"}' -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+# Should reject localhost URLs
+```
+
+### API8:2023 — Security Misconfiguration
+```bash
+# Check security headers
+curl -sI "$BASE_URL/api/health" | grep -iE "x-frame-options|x-content-type|strict-transport|x-xss|content-security-policy|access-control"
+
+# Check CORS
+curl -s -H "Origin: https://evil.com" -I "$BASE_URL/api/users" | grep -i "access-control"
+# Wildcard * in Access-Control-Allow-Origin = finding
+
+# Check for debug endpoints
+curl -s "$BASE_URL/debug" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+curl -s "$BASE_URL/api/debug" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+curl -s "$BASE_URL/actuator" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+curl -s "$BASE_URL/env" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+```
+
+### API9:2023 — Improper Inventory Management
+```bash
+# Probe for old API versions
+curl -s "$BASE_URL/api/v1/users" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+curl -s "$BASE_URL/v1/users" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+# Old versions may lack security patches
+
+# Check for undocumented endpoints
+curl -s "$BASE_URL/api/internal/metrics" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+curl -s "$BASE_URL/api/graphql" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+```
+
+### API10:2023 — Unsafe Consumption of APIs
+```bash
+# SQL injection in parameters
+curl -s "$BASE_URL/api/users?search='; DROP TABLE users;--" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+curl -s "$BASE_URL/api/users?id=1 OR 1=1" -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+
+# NoSQL injection
+curl -s -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/auth/login" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"email":{"$gt":""},"password":{"$gt":""}}' -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+
+# XSS in stored fields
+curl -s -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/comments" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"body":"<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>"}' -w "\\nHTTP %{http_code}"
+```
+
+Classify each finding:
+- **Critical**: Authentication bypass, data exposure, injection
+- **High**: Broken authorization, SSRF, mass assignment
+- **Medium**: Missing security headers, weak rate limiting
+- **Low**: Information disclosure in error messages, old API versions accessible
+- **Info**: Missing best practices, recommendations
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — Performance Testing (if load_testing enabled)
+
+### Baseline with curl timing
+For each endpoint, measure response time:
+```bash
+curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{time_namelookup},%{time_connect},%{time_starttransfer},%{time_total}" \
+  "$BASE_URL/api/endpoint"
+```
+
+Run 10 sequential requests to get a baseline:
+```bash
+for i in $(seq 1 10); do
+  curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{time_total}\\n" "$BASE_URL/api/users"
+done | python3 -c "
+import sys
+times = [float(l.strip()) for l in sys.stdin if l.strip()]
+print(f'Min: {min(times)*1000:.0f}ms')
+print(f'Max: {max(times)*1000:.0f}ms')
+print(f'Avg: {sum(times)/len(times)*1000:.0f}ms')
+print(f'P95: {sorted(times)[int(len(times)*0.95)]*1000:.0f}ms')
+"
+```
+
+### Concurrent load (if wrk available)
+```bash
+# 10 concurrent connections for 30 seconds
+wrk -t2 -c10 -d30s "$BASE_URL/api/users"
+
+# 50 concurrent connections (stress test)
+wrk -t4 -c50 -d30s "$BASE_URL/api/users"
+```
+
+### Concurrent load (if ab available, wrk not available)
+```bash
+# 100 requests, 10 concurrent
+ab -n 100 -c 10 "$BASE_URL/api/users"
+```
+
+### Concurrent load (fallback — pure bash)
+```bash
+# 20 concurrent requests via background curl
+for i in $(seq 1 20); do
+  curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{time_total}\\n" "$BASE_URL/api/users" &
+done | wait
+```
+
+Compare results against `response_time_target`:
+- Flag any endpoint where average response time exceeds the target
+- Flag any endpoint where P95 exceeds 2x the target
+- Identify the slowest endpoints
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5 — Contract Testing (if contract_testing enabled)
+
+### Schema validation against OpenAPI spec
+```bash
+python3 -c "
+import json
+
+spec = json.load(open('api_spec.json'))
+# For each endpoint, fetch actual response and compare to spec schema
+def validate_schema(actual, expected_schema):
+    if expected_schema.get('type') == 'object':
+        required = expected_schema.get('required', [])
+        properties = expected_schema.get('properties', {})
+        missing = [f for f in required if f not in actual]
+        extra = [f for f in actual if f not in properties]
+        return {'missing_required': missing, 'extra_fields': extra}
+    elif expected_schema.get('type') == 'array':
+        if not isinstance(actual, list):
+            return {'error': 'Expected array, got ' + type(actual).__name__}
+    return {'ok': True}
+print('Schema validation logic loaded')
+"
+```
+
+### Backward compatibility checks
+- Compare current response shapes against previously recorded shapes
+- Flag any removed fields (breaking change)
+- Flag any type changes (string to number, etc.)
+- New optional fields are acceptable
+
+Store contract test results in `apitester_contract_results.json`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6 — Report Generation
+
+Generate a structured test report in the configured `output_format`:
+
+**Markdown report template**:
+```markdown
+# API Test Report
+**Target**: [base_url]
+**Date**: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC
+**Test Depth**: [smoke/functional/comprehensive/security]
+**Auth Type**: [auth_type]
+
+## Summary
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Endpoints Tested | N |
+| Tests Executed | N |
+| Passed | N |
+| Failed | N |
+| Skipped | N |
+| Pass Rate | N% |
+
+## Functional Test Results
+
+### Endpoint: METHOD /path
+| Test | Expected | Actual | Status | Time |
+|------|----------|--------|--------|------|
+| Happy path | 200 | 200 | PASS | 45ms |
+| Missing auth | 401 | 401 | PASS | 12ms |
+| Invalid input | 400 | 500 | FAIL | 89ms |
+
+## Security Findings (if owasp_testing)
+| ID | Finding | Severity | Endpoint | Description |
+|----|---------|----------|----------|-------------|
+| S-001 | Missing rate limiting | Medium | POST /api/auth/login | No lockout after 20 failed attempts |
+
+## Performance Results (if load_testing)
+| Endpoint | Avg | P95 | Max | Target | Status |
+|----------|-----|-----|-----|--------|--------|
+| GET /api/users | 120ms | 250ms | 890ms | 500ms | PASS |
+
+## Contract Deviations (if contract_testing)
+| Endpoint | Issue | Severity |
+|----------|-------|----------|
+| GET /api/users | Missing field: created_at | High |
+
+## Recommendations
+1. [Actionable recommendation based on findings]
+```
+
+Save report to: `apitester_report_YYYY-MM-DD.{md,json,html}`
+
+---
+
+## Phase 7 — State Persistence
+
+1. Save all test results to `apitester_results.json`
+2. Save endpoint map to `apitester_endpoint_map.json`
+3. memory_store `apitester_hand_state`: last_run, endpoints_tested, tests_passed, tests_failed, vulnerabilities_found
+4. Update dashboard stats:
+   - memory_store `apitester_hand_endpoints_tested` — total endpoints tested
+   - memory_store `apitester_hand_tests_passed` — total tests passed
+   - memory_store `apitester_hand_vulnerabilities_found` — security findings count
+   - memory_store `apitester_hand_reports_generated` — increment report count
+
+---
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- NEVER test production APIs without the user explicitly confirming the target URL is safe to test
+- ALWAYS start with read-only GET endpoints before running write operations (POST/PUT/DELETE)
+- NEVER send destructive requests (DELETE, DROP) unless the user has confirmed a test/staging environment
+- Log every request and response for reproducibility
+- Respect rate limits — add 100ms delay between requests by default
+- Report severity levels honestly — do not inflate or downplay findings
+- If an endpoint returns 5xx, note it as a finding but do not hammer it
+- If the user messages you directly, pause testing and respond to their question
+- For security tests: document exact reproduction steps for every finding
+- Clean up any test data created during testing (DELETE test users, etc.)
+- NEVER store actual credentials or tokens in test reports — redact them

+
+## HTTP Status Codes Reference
+
+### 2xx Success
+| Code | Name | Meaning |
+|------|------|---------|
+| 200 | OK | Request succeeded, response body contains result |
+| 201 | Created | Resource successfully created (POST) |
+| 202 | Accepted | Request accepted for async processing |
+| 204 | No Content | Success, no response body (common for DELETE) |
+
+### 3xx Redirection
+| Code | Name | Meaning |
+|------|------|---------|
+| 301 | Moved Permanently | Resource has a new permanent URL |
+| 302 | Found | Temporary redirect |
+| 304 | Not Modified | Resource unchanged since last request (caching) |
+
+### 4xx Client Errors
+| Code | Name | Meaning | Common Cause |
+|------|------|---------|--------------|
+| 400 | Bad Request | Malformed request or invalid input | Missing required fields, wrong types |
+| 401 | Unauthorized | No valid authentication provided | Missing or expired token |
+| 403 | Forbidden | Authenticated but not authorized | Insufficient permissions |
+| 404 | Not Found | Resource does not exist | Wrong URL or deleted resource |
+| 405 | Method Not Allowed | HTTP method not supported | Using POST on a GET-only endpoint |
+| 409 | Conflict | Request conflicts with current state | Duplicate resource, version conflict |
+| 413 | Payload Too Large | Request body exceeds server limit | File upload too big |
+| 415 | Unsupported Media Type | Wrong Content-Type header | Sending form data to JSON endpoint |
+| 422 | Unprocessable Entity | Valid syntax but semantic errors | Business rule validation failure |
+| 429 | Too Many Requests | Rate limit exceeded | Too many requests in time window |
+
+### 5xx Server Errors
+| Code | Name | Meaning | Testing Implication |
+|------|------|---------|---------------------|
+| 500 | Internal Server Error | Unhandled server exception | Always a finding — server should never expose unhandled errors |
+| 502 | Bad Gateway | Upstream server error | Infrastructure issue |
+| 503 | Service Unavailable | Server overloaded or in maintenance | Capacity issue |
+| 504 | Gateway Timeout | Upstream server timeout | Slow dependency |

+
+## OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023)
+
+### API1:2023 — Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA)
+**What**: User can access other users' objects by changing resource IDs.
+**Test pattern**: Authenticate as User A, request User B's resources by ID. If 200 returned instead of 403, BOLA exists.
+**Severity**: Critical
+**Example**: `GET /api/orders/12345` returns Order belonging to different user.
+
+### API2:2023 — Broken Authentication
+**What**: Weak or missing authentication mechanisms.
+**Test patterns**:
+- Brute-force login without lockout or rate limiting
+- JWT with `alg: none` accepted
+- Tokens that never expire
+- Credentials in URL parameters
+- Missing password complexity requirements
+**Severity**: Critical
+
+### API3:2023 — Broken Object Property Level Authorization
+**What**: User can read/write object properties they should not access.
+**Test patterns**:
+- Mass assignment: send `{"role":"admin"}` in update request
+- Excessive data exposure: response contains password_hash, internal IDs, PII
+- Check if read-only fields can be written via PUT/PATCH
+**Severity**: High
+
+### API4:2023 — Unrestricted Resource Consumption
+**What**: No limits on request size, frequency, or returned data.
+**Test patterns**:
+- Request `?limit=999999` — does it return everything?
+- Upload extremely large file — is there a size limit?
+- Send 100 requests/second — is there rate limiting?
+- Request deeply nested resources — does it cause server strain?
+**Severity**: Medium to High
+
+### API5:2023 — Broken Function Level Authorization
+**What**: Regular users can access admin-only endpoints.
+**Test patterns**:
+- Access `/admin/*` endpoints with regular user token
+- Change HTTP method (GET to DELETE) to bypass authorization
+- Access internal/management endpoints from external network
+**Severity**: Critical
+
+### API6:2023 — Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flows
+**What**: Business logic can be abused at scale (ticket scalping, credential stuffing).
+**Test patterns**:
+- Rapid repeated purchase/redeem/signup requests
+- Same coupon applied multiple times
+- Account creation flood without CAPTCHA
+**Severity**: Medium to High
+
+### API7:2023 — Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
+**What**: API can be tricked into making requests to internal resources.
+**Test patterns**:
+- URL parameters pointing to `http://169.254.169.254/` (cloud metadata)
+- URL parameters pointing to `http://localhost:PORT/` (internal services)
+- URL parameters with `file:///etc/passwd` (local file read)
+**Severity**: High to Critical
+
+### API8:2023 — Security Misconfiguration
+**What**: Missing security headers, verbose errors, default credentials.
+**Test patterns**:
+- Check for security headers (X-Frame-Options, CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options)
+- Check CORS policy (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * is too permissive)
+- Check for stack traces in error responses
+- Check for debug/actuator endpoints exposed
+- Check TLS configuration (version, cipher suites)
+**Severity**: Medium
+
+### API9:2023 — Improper Inventory Management
+**What**: Old API versions, undocumented endpoints, shadow APIs.
+**Test patterns**:
+- Probe `/v1/`, `/v2/`, `/api/v1/` for old versions
+- Check for internal endpoints (`/internal/`, `/debug/`, `/metrics/`)
+- Compare documented endpoints vs actually available endpoints
+- Check for GraphQL introspection enabled
+**Severity**: Medium
+
+### API10:2023 — Unsafe Consumption of APIs
+**What**: API blindly trusts data from third-party APIs or user input without validation.
+**Test patterns**:
+- SQL injection in query parameters and JSON fields
+- NoSQL injection (`{"$gt": ""}` in MongoDB queries)
+- XSS payloads in stored fields
+- Command injection in parameters used in server-side commands
+- Path traversal (`../../etc/passwd`) in file parameters
+**Severity**: High to Critical
+

+## Performance Testing with wrk
+
+### Basic Usage
+```bash
+# 2 threads, 10 connections, 30 seconds
+wrk -t2 -c10 -d30s http://api.example.com/endpoint
+
+# With custom headers
+wrk -t2 -c10 -d30s -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" http://api.example.com/endpoint
+
+# With Lua script for POST requests
+wrk -t2 -c10 -d30s -s post.lua http://api.example.com/endpoint
+```
+
+### Lua Script for POST (post.lua)
+```lua
+wrk.method = "POST"
+wrk.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json"
+wrk.body = '{"key": "value"}'
+```
+
+### Interpreting wrk Output
+```
+Running 30s test @ http://api.example.com/users
+  2 threads and 10 connections
+  Thread Stats   Avg      Stdev     Max   +/- Stdev
+    Latency    12.34ms   5.67ms  89.12ms   78.90%
+    Req/Sec   405.12    45.67   523.00     72.34%
+  24000 requests in 30.01s, 12.34MB read
+Requests/sec:   799.87
+Transfer/sec:    421.12KB
+```
+- **Latency Avg**: Average response time per request
+- **Latency Max**: Worst-case response time (tail latency)
+- **Req/Sec**: Throughput per thread
+- **Requests/sec (bottom)**: Total throughput
+- **+/- Stdev**: Consistency (higher = more consistent)
+
+### Performance Benchmarks
+| Endpoint Type | Good | Acceptable | Slow | Critical |
+|--------------|------|------------|------|----------|
+| Health check | <10ms | <50ms | <200ms | >200ms |
+| Simple GET (by ID) | <50ms | <200ms | <500ms | >500ms |
+| List with pagination | <100ms | <500ms | <1000ms | >1000ms |
+| Search/filter | <200ms | <500ms | <2000ms | >2000ms |
+| Create (POST) | <100ms | <500ms | <1000ms | >1000ms |
+| File upload | <500ms | <2000ms | <5000ms | >5000ms |

+
+## Response Schema Validation Patterns
+
+### JSON Schema Basics
+```python
+# Validate a response against an expected schema
+def validate_response(actual, expected_type, required_fields=None, field_types=None):
+    errors = []
+
+    if expected_type == "object" and not isinstance(actual, dict):
+        errors.append(f"Expected object, got {type(actual).__name__}")
+        return errors
+
+    if expected_type == "array" and not isinstance(actual, list):
+        errors.append(f"Expected array, got {type(actual).__name__}")
+        return errors
+
+    if required_fields and isinstance(actual, dict):
+        for field in required_fields:
+            if field not in actual:
+                errors.append(f"Missing required field: {field}")
+
+    if field_types and isinstance(actual, dict):
+        for field, expected in field_types.items():
+            if field in actual and not isinstance(actual[field], expected):
+                errors.append(f"Field '{field}' expected {expected.__name__}, got {type(actual[field]).__name__}")
+
+    return errors
+```
+
+### Common Response Patterns to Validate
+```
+Single resource:  {"id": "...", "type": "...", "attributes": {...}}
+Collection:       [{"id": "..."}, ...] or {"data": [...], "meta": {"total": N}}
+Error:            {"error": {"code": "...", "message": "..."}}
+Paginated:        {"data": [...], "page": 1, "per_page": 20, "total": 100}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Common API Vulnerabilities and Detection
+
+### Information Disclosure
+```bash
+# Stack traces in errors
+curl -s "$BASE_URL/api/nonexistent" | grep -iE "stack|trace|exception|error.*at.*line"
+
+# Server version in headers
+curl -sI "$BASE_URL/" | grep -iE "^server:|^x-powered-by:"
+
+# Internal IPs in responses
+curl -s "$BASE_URL/api/health" | grep -oE "10\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+|172\.(1[6-9]|2[0-9]|3[01])\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+|192\.168\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+"
+```
+
+### Injection Testing Quick Reference
+| Type | Payload | Where to Test |
+|------|---------|---------------|
+| SQL (string) | `' OR '1'='1` | Query params, JSON string fields |
+| SQL (numeric) | `1 OR 1=1` | Numeric query params, IDs |
+| SQL (time-based) | `'; WAITFOR DELAY '0:0:5'--` | Any input (detect via timing) |
+| NoSQL | `{"$gt": ""}` | JSON fields queried by MongoDB |
+| XSS (reflected) | `<script>alert(1)</script>` | Query params reflected in response |
+| XSS (stored) | `<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>` | POST body fields rendered in UI |
+| Command | `; ls -la` | Params used in server shell commands |
+| Path traversal | `../../etc/passwd` | File path parameters |
+| SSRF | `http://169.254.169.254/` | URL parameters |

+- Critical findings count
+- Overall risk assessment (Low/Medium/High/Critical)
+
+### Detailed Results
+For each endpoint:
+- HTTP method and path
+- Tests executed with expected vs actual results
+- Response time measurements
+- Any findings with severity
+
+### Security Findings
+For each finding:
+- Unique ID (S-001, S-002, ...)

+
+## REST API Best Practices Checklist
+
+### Authentication & Authorization
+- [ ] All endpoints require authentication (except public ones)
+- [ ] Tokens have reasonable expiry
+- [ ] Failed auth returns 401 (not 200 with error body)
+- [ ] Authorization checked at object level (not just endpoint level)
+- [ ] Rate limiting on auth endpoints
+
+### Input Validation
+- [ ] All inputs validated (type, length, range, format)
+- [ ] Invalid input returns 400 with descriptive error
+- [ ] No SQL/NoSQL/command injection possible
+- [ ] File uploads validated (type, size, content)
+- [ ] Request body size limited
+
+### Response Quality
+- [ ] Consistent response format across all endpoints
+- [ ] Proper HTTP status codes used
+- [ ] Error responses include actionable messages
+- [ ] No sensitive data in responses (passwords, internal IDs, stack traces)
+- [ ] Pagination implemented for list endpoints
+
+### Security Headers
+- [ ] `Strict-Transport-Security` (HSTS)
+- [ ] `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`
+- [ ] `X-Frame-Options: DENY`
+- [ ] `Content-Security-Policy` set appropriately
+- [ ] CORS configured for specific origins (not wildcard)
+- [ ] `Cache-Control` set appropriately for sensitive data
+
+### Performance
+- [ ] Response times within target for all endpoints
+- [ ] Pagination with default and maximum page sizes
+- [ ] Compression enabled (gzip/br)
+- [ ] Caching headers set where appropriate
+- [ ] No N+1 query patterns detectable via timing
+
+### Documentation
+- [ ] OpenAPI/Swagger spec available and accurate
+- [ ] All endpoints documented with examples
+- [ ] Error codes and messages documented
+- [ ] Rate limits documented
+- [ ] Authentication flow documented

+
+## Phase 0 — Platform Detection & Tool Inventory (ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST)
+
+Detect the operating system:
+```
+python3 -c "import platform; print(platform.system())"
+```
+
+Inventory available tools (adapt to detected OS):
+```bash
+# Container runtimes
+docker --version 2>/dev/null && echo "docker: available" || echo "docker: not found"
+podman --version 2>/dev/null && echo "podman: available" || echo "podman: not found"
+docker compose version 2>/dev/null && echo "docker-compose: available" || echo "docker-compose: not found"
+
+# Kubernetes
+kubectl version --client 2>/dev/null && echo "kubectl: available" || echo "kubectl: not found"
+helm version 2>/dev/null && echo "helm: available" || echo "helm: not found"
+k9s version 2>/dev/null && echo "k9s: available" || echo "k9s: not found"
+
+# Infrastructure as Code
+terraform version 2>/dev/null && echo "terraform: available" || echo "terraform: not found"
+ansible --version 2>/dev/null && echo "ansible: available" || echo "ansible: not found"
+pulumi version 2>/dev/null && echo "pulumi: available" || echo "pulumi: not found"
+
+# Cloud CLIs
+aws --version 2>/dev/null && echo "aws-cli: available" || echo "aws-cli: not found"
+gcloud --version 2>/dev/null | head -1 && echo "gcloud: available" || echo "gcloud: not found"
+az --version 2>/dev/null | head -1 && echo "az-cli: available" || echo "az-cli: not found"
+
+# General utilities
+git --version 2>/dev/null && echo "git: available" || echo "git: not found"
+jq --version 2>/dev/null && echo "jq: available" || echo "jq: not found"
+curl --version 2>/dev/null | head -1 && echo "curl: available" || echo "curl: not found"
+ssh -V 2>/dev/null && echo "ssh: available" || echo "ssh: not found"
+```
+
+Record which tools are available — adapt all subsequent phases to use only available tools.
+
+Recover state:
+1. memory_recall `devops_hand_state` — if it exists, load previous state
+2. Read **User Configuration** for infra_provider, container_runtime, iac_tool, ci_cd_platform, etc.
+3. file_read `devops_audit_log.json` if it exists — previous findings
+4. knowledge_query for existing infrastructure entities
+

+
+## Phase 1 — Infrastructure Audit
+
+### System Resources
+```bash
+# Disk usage
+df -h
+
+# Memory
+free -h 2>/dev/null || vm_stat 2>/dev/null
+
+# CPU load
+uptime
+
+# Running processes (top consumers)
+ps aux --sort=-%mem | head -20 2>/dev/null || ps aux | head -20
+```
+
+### Container State (if Docker/Podman available)
+```bash
+# Running containers
+docker ps --format "table {{.Names}}\\t{{.Status}}\\t{{.Ports}}\\t{{.Image}}"
+
+# All containers (including stopped)
+docker ps -a --format "table {{.Names}}\\t{{.Status}}\\t{{.CreatedAt}}"
+
+# Container resource usage
+docker stats --no-stream --format "table {{.Name}}\\t{{.CPUPerc}}\\t{{.MemUsage}}\\t{{.NetIO}}"
+
+# Disk usage by Docker
+docker system df
+
+# Dangling images and volumes
+docker images -f "dangling=true" -q | wc -l
+docker volume ls -f "dangling=true" -q | wc -l
+```
+
+### Kubernetes State (if kubectl available)
+```bash
+# Cluster info
+kubectl cluster-info
+
+# Node status
+kubectl get nodes -o wide
+
+# Pod status across all namespaces
+kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o wide
+
+# Pods not in Running state
+kubectl get pods --all-namespaces --field-selector=status.phase!=Running
+
+# Resource utilization
+kubectl top nodes 2>/dev/null
+kubectl top pods --all-namespaces 2>/dev/null
+
+# Recent events (potential issues)
+kubectl get events --all-namespaces --sort-by=.lastTimestamp | tail -30
+
+# PVCs and storage
+kubectl get pvc --all-namespaces
+```
+
+### Cloud Infrastructure (based on infra_provider)
+
+**AWS**:
+```bash
+# EC2 instances
+aws ec2 describe-instances --query 'Reservations[*].Instances[*].[InstanceId,State.Name,InstanceType,PublicIpAddress,Tags[?Key==`Name`].Value|[0]]' --output table
+
+# RDS instances
+aws rds describe-db-instances --query 'DBInstances[*].[DBInstanceIdentifier,DBInstanceStatus,Engine,DBInstanceClass]' --output table
+
+# S3 buckets
+aws s3 ls
+
+# CloudWatch alarms in ALARM state
+aws cloudwatch describe-alarms --state-value ALARM --output table
+```
+
+**GCP**:
+```bash
+# Compute instances
+gcloud compute instances list
+
+# GKE clusters
+gcloud container clusters list
+
+# Cloud SQL instances
+gcloud sql instances list
+```
+
+**Azure**:
+```bash
+# VMs
+az vm list --output table
+
+# AKS clusters
+az aks list --output table
+
+# Resource groups
+az group list --output table
+```
+
+### Configuration Files Audit
+```bash
+# Find common config files in the project
+find . -maxdepth 3 -name "docker-compose*.yml" -o -name "Dockerfile*" \
+  -o -name "*.tf" -o -name "*.tfvars" -o -name "ansible.cfg" \
+  -o -name "*.yaml" -o -name "*.yml" | grep -iE "deploy|infra|k8s|helm|ansible|terraform|docker|ci" | head -30
+```
+
+Record all findings — store infrastructure entities in knowledge graph:
+- knowledge_add_entity for each server, container, service, database
+- knowledge_add_relation for dependencies between services
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — CI/CD Pipeline Management
+
+### GitHub Actions
+```bash
+# List workflow files
+ls -la .github/workflows/ 2>/dev/null
+
+# Check workflow syntax (via act or review)
+# Review each workflow for:
+# - Trigger events (push, PR, schedule, manual)
+# - Job dependencies and matrix builds
+# - Secret usage and security
+# - Caching strategy
+# - Artifact management
+```
+
+**Pipeline template** (.github/workflows/ci.yml):
+```yaml
+name: CI
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: [main]
+  pull_request:
+    branches: [main]

+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - name: Deploy
+        run: echo "Deploy step here"
+```
+
+### GitLab CI
+```bash
+# Review pipeline config
+cat .gitlab-ci.yml 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+**Pipeline template** (.gitlab-ci.yml):
+```yaml
+stages:
+  - build
+  - test
+  - security
+  - deploy
+
+build:
+  stage: build
+  script:
+    - docker build -t $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA .
+    - docker push $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA
+
+test:
+  stage: test

+    - npm test
+  coverage: '/Lines\\s*:\\s*(\\d+\\.?\\d*)%/'
+
+security_scan:
+  stage: security
+  script:
+    - trivy image $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA
+
+deploy_production:
+  stage: deploy
+  script:
+    - kubectl set image deployment/app app=$CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA
+  only:
+    - main
+  when: manual
+```
+
+### Pipeline Review Checklist
+- [ ] Build stage compiles/packages the application
+- [ ] Test stage runs unit, integration, and E2E tests
+- [ ] Security scanning step present (Trivy, Snyk, or equivalent)
+- [ ] Lint/format check step present
+- [ ] Secrets managed via CI/CD secret store (not hardcoded)
+- [ ] Caching configured for dependencies
+- [ ] Deploy requires manual approval for production
+- [ ] Rollback mechanism documented or automated
+- [ ] Notifications configured for failures
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Container Orchestration
+
+### Dockerfile Review & Optimization
+```bash
+# Find Dockerfiles
+find . -name "Dockerfile*" -maxdepth 3 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+**Dockerfile best practices checklist**:
+- [ ] Uses multi-stage build (smaller final image)
+- [ ] Base image is specific version (not :latest)
+- [ ] Runs as non-root user
+- [ ] Uses .dockerignore to exclude unnecessary files
+- [ ] COPY before RUN for better layer caching
+- [ ] Dependencies installed in a single RUN layer
+- [ ] Health check defined (HEALTHCHECK instruction)
+- [ ] No secrets baked into the image
+
+**Optimized Dockerfile template**:
+```dockerfile
+# Build stage
+FROM node:20-alpine AS builder
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY package*.json ./
+RUN npm ci --only=production
+COPY . .
+RUN npm run build
+
+# Production stage
+FROM node:20-alpine
+RUN addgroup -g 1001 appgroup && adduser -u 1001 -G appgroup -s /bin/sh -D appuser
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist
+COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules ./node_modules
+COPY --from=builder /app/package.json ./
+USER appuser
+EXPOSE 3000
+HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=5s --retries=3 CMD wget -q --spider http://localhost:3000/health || exit 1
+CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"]
+```
+
+### Docker Compose Review
+```bash
+# Validate compose file
+docker compose config --quiet 2>&1 && echo "VALID" || echo "INVALID"
+
+# Check for common issues:
+# - Services without resource limits
+# - Services without health checks
+# - Hardcoded secrets (should use docker secrets or env files)
+# - Missing restart policies
+# - Using :latest tags
+```
+
+### Kubernetes Manifest Review
+```bash
+# List all manifests
+find . -name "*.yaml" -path "*/k8s/*" -o -name "*.yaml" -path "*/kubernetes/*" -o -name "*.yaml" -path "*/manifests/*" | head -20
+
+# For each deployment, check:
+# - Resource requests and limits set
+# - Liveness and readiness probes defined
+# - Pod disruption budgets defined
+# - Security context (non-root, read-only fs)
+# - Image pull policy explicit
+# - Namespace specified
+```
+
+**Resource limits template**:
+```yaml
+resources:
+  requests:
+    cpu: 100m
+    memory: 128Mi
+  limits:
+    cpu: 500m
+    memory: 512Mi
+```
+
+**Health check template**:
+```yaml
+livenessProbe:
+  httpGet:
+    path: /health
+    port: 8080
+  initialDelaySeconds: 15
+  periodSeconds: 10
+  failureThreshold: 3
+readinessProbe:
+  httpGet:
+    path: /ready
+    port: 8080
+  initialDelaySeconds: 5
+  periodSeconds: 5
+```
+
+### Container Image Scanning
+```bash
+# Scan with Trivy (if available)
+trivy image --severity CRITICAL,HIGH $IMAGE_NAME 2>/dev/null
+
+# Scan with Docker Scout (if available)
+docker scout cves $IMAGE_NAME 2>/dev/null
+
+# Check image size
+docker images $IMAGE_NAME --format "{{.Size}}"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — Monitoring & Alerting
+
+### Log Aggregation Check
+```bash
+# Check if containers are logging properly
+docker logs --tail 20 $CONTAINER_NAME 2>/dev/null
+
+# Check for log rotation
+ls -lh /var/log/ 2>/dev/null | head -20
+
+# Kubernetes logs
+kubectl logs -l app=$APP_NAME --tail=50 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+### Metrics Collection
+
+**Prometheus metrics check** (if Prometheus available):
+```bash
+# Check Prometheus targets
+curl -s http://localhost:9090/api/v1/targets | python3 -c "
+import sys, json
+data = json.load(sys.stdin)
+for target in data.get('data', {}).get('activeTargets', []):
+    print(f\"{target['labels'].get('job', 'unknown'):30s} {target['health']:10s} {target.get('lastError', '')}\")
+"
+
+# Check for firing alerts
+curl -s http://localhost:9090/api/v1/alerts | python3 -c "
+import sys, json
+data = json.load(sys.stdin)
+for alert in data.get('data', {}).get('alerts', []):
+    if alert['state'] == 'firing':
+        print(f\"FIRING: {alert['labels']['alertname']} - {alert['annotations'].get('summary', '')}\")
+"
+```
+
+**CloudWatch check** (if AWS):
+```bash
+# List alarms in ALARM state
+aws cloudwatch describe-alarms --state-value ALARM \
+  --query 'MetricAlarms[*].[AlarmName,StateReason]' --output table
+```
+
+### Alerting Rules Template (Prometheus)
+```yaml
+groups:
+  - name: infrastructure
+    rules:
+      - alert: HighCPUUsage
+        expr: 100 - (avg by(instance) (rate(node_cpu_seconds_total{mode="idle"}[5m])) * 100) > 80
+        for: 5m
+        labels:
+          severity: warning
+        annotations:
+          summary: "High CPU usage on {{ $labels.instance }}"
+
+      - alert: HighMemoryUsage
+        expr: (1 - node_memory_MemAvailable_bytes / node_memory_MemTotal_bytes) * 100 > 85
+        for: 5m
+        labels:
+          severity: warning
+        annotations:
+          summary: "High memory usage on {{ $labels.instance }}"
+
+      - alert: DiskSpaceLow
+        expr: (1 - node_filesystem_avail_bytes{mountpoint="/"} / node_filesystem_size_bytes{mountpoint="/"}) * 100 > 85
+        for: 10m
+        labels:
+          severity: critical
+        annotations:
+          summary: "Disk space low on {{ $labels.instance }}"
+
+      - alert: ContainerRestarting
+        expr: rate(kube_pod_container_status_restarts_total[15m]) > 0
+        for: 5m
+        labels:
+          severity: warning
+        annotations:
+          summary: "Container {{ $labels.container }} in pod {{ $labels.pod }} is restarting"
+```
+

+
+## Phase 5 — Security Audit
+
+### Secrets Scanning
+```bash
+# Check for exposed secrets in config files
+grep -rn --include="*.yml" --include="*.yaml" --include="*.toml" --include="*.json" --include="*.env" \
+  -iE "password|secret|api_key|token|private_key|access_key" . 2>/dev/null | \
+  grep -v node_modules | grep -v ".git/" | head -30
+
+# Check environment variables for secrets
+env | grep -iE "password|secret|key|token" | sed 's/=.*/=***REDACTED***/'
+
+# Check Docker images for embedded secrets
+docker history --no-trunc $IMAGE_NAME 2>/dev/null | grep -iE "ENV.*secret|ENV.*password|ENV.*key"
+```
+
+### TLS/SSL Configuration
+```bash
+# Check certificate expiry
+echo | openssl s_client -connect $DOMAIN:443 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -dates 2>/dev/null
+
+# Check TLS version support
+curl -s --tlsv1.0 "https://$DOMAIN" -o /dev/null 2>&1 && echo "TLS 1.0: ENABLED (should be disabled)" || echo "TLS 1.0: disabled (good)"
+curl -s --tlsv1.1 "https://$DOMAIN" -o /dev/null 2>&1 && echo "TLS 1.1: ENABLED (should be disabled)" || echo "TLS 1.1: disabled (good)"
+curl -s --tlsv1.2 "https://$DOMAIN" -o /dev/null 2>&1 && echo "TLS 1.2: enabled" || echo "TLS 1.2: not available"
+curl -s --tlsv1.3 "https://$DOMAIN" -o /dev/null 2>&1 && echo "TLS 1.3: enabled" || echo "TLS 1.3: not available"
+```
+
+### Network Security (Kubernetes)
+```bash
+# Check for network policies
+kubectl get networkpolicies --all-namespaces 2>/dev/null
+
+# Check for services exposed externally
+kubectl get svc --all-namespaces -o wide | grep -E "LoadBalancer|NodePort"
+
+# Check for privileged containers
+kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o json | python3 -c "
+import sys, json

+            print(f\"ROOT USER: {item['metadata']['namespace']}/{item['metadata']['name']}/{container['name']}\")
+" 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+### Docker Security
+```bash
+# Check Docker daemon config
+cat /etc/docker/daemon.json 2>/dev/null
+
+# Check for containers running as root
+docker ps -q | xargs -I{} docker inspect --format '{{.Name}} User:{{.Config.User}}' {} 2>/dev/null
+
+# Check for containers with host network
+docker ps -q | xargs -I{} docker inspect --format '{{.Name}} Network:{{.HostConfig.NetworkMode}}' {} 2>/dev/null | grep host
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6 — Disaster Recovery
+
+### Backup Verification
+```bash
+# Check for recent backups (adapt paths to your setup)
+ls -lhrt /backups/ 2>/dev/null | tail -10
+
+# Check database backup recency
+# PostgreSQL
+pg_dump --version 2>/dev/null && echo "pg_dump available for DB backups"
+
+# Check S3 backup bucket (if AWS)
+aws s3 ls s3://$BACKUP_BUCKET/ --recursive | tail -10 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+### Recovery Procedure Template
+```markdown
+## Disaster Recovery Runbook
+
+### Severity Levels
+- **P1 (Critical)**: Complete service outage, data loss risk
+- **P2 (High)**: Major feature unavailable, degraded performance
+- **P3 (Medium)**: Minor feature broken, workaround available
+- **P4 (Low)**: Cosmetic issue, no user impact
+
+### Incident Response Steps
+1. **Detect**: Alert fires or user reports issue
+2. **Assess**: Determine severity, affected systems, blast radius
+3. **Communicate**: Notify stakeholders via status page / Slack
+4. **Mitigate**: Apply immediate fix (rollback, failover, scale up)
+5. **Resolve**: Root cause fix deployed and verified
+6. **Review**: Post-mortem within 48 hours
+
+### Rollback Procedures
+
+#### Application Rollback
+# Kubernetes
+kubectl rollout undo deployment/$APP_NAME
+
+# Docker Compose
+docker compose down && docker compose -f docker-compose.previous.yml up -d
+
+# Git-based (revert to last known good)
+git revert HEAD && git push
+
+#### Database Rollback
+# Point-in-time recovery (PostgreSQL)
+pg_restore -d $DB_NAME /backups/latest.dump
+
+# Migration rollback
+npm run migrate:rollback  # or equivalent
+```
+
+### Health Check Endpoints
+Verify all critical services are responding:
+```bash
+# Create a health check script
+for service in "http://app:3000/health" "http://api:8080/health" "http://db:5432"; do
+  status=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" --connect-timeout 5 "$service" 2>/dev/null)
+  echo "$service: $status"
+done
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 7 — State Persistence
+
+1. Save audit findings to `devops_audit_log.json`
+2. Save infrastructure inventory to `devops_inventory.json`
+3. memory_store `devops_hand_state`: last_run, infra_provider, issues_found, actions_taken
+4. Update dashboard stats:
+   - memory_store `devops_hand_deployments_managed` — total deployments tracked
+   - memory_store `devops_hand_issues_detected` — total issues found
+   - memory_store `devops_hand_pipelines_configured` — pipelines reviewed/created
+   - memory_store `devops_hand_infra_audits_completed` — increment audit count
+
+---
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- NEVER delete production resources without the user explicitly confirming the target and intent
+- ALWAYS use dry-run/plan mode first before applying any infrastructure changes:
+  - `terraform plan` before `terraform apply`
+  - `kubectl apply --dry-run=client` before `kubectl apply`
+  - `ansible-playbook --check` before running for real
+- In `audit_mode` (default: true), ONLY observe and report — do not make any changes
+- If `auto_remediate` is enabled, limit to safe actions only:
+  - Restart crashed containers: YES
+  - Scale up replicas: YES
+  - Clear Docker build cache: YES
+  - Delete resources: NEVER without confirmation
+  - Modify network rules: NEVER without confirmation
+- Follow the principle of least privilege — never request more permissions than needed
+- Document every change made with timestamp and reason
+- Prefer Infrastructure as Code over manual changes — write the config file, not the ad-hoc command
+- NEVER store credentials, tokens, or secrets in plain text files or commit them to git
+- If the user messages you directly, pause operations and respond to their question
+- For production systems, always have a rollback plan before making changes
+- When in doubt, audit and report — do not act

+# DevOps Expert Knowledge
+
+## Docker Best Practices
+
+### Multi-Stage Builds
+```dockerfile
+# Bad — single stage, huge image
+FROM node:20
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY . .
+RUN npm install
+RUN npm run build
+CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"]
+# Result: ~1.2GB image with dev dependencies and source code
+
+# Good — multi-stage, minimal image
+FROM node:20-alpine AS builder
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY package*.json ./
+RUN npm ci
+COPY . .
+RUN npm run build
+
+FROM node:20-alpine
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist
+COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules ./node_modules
+COPY --from=builder /app/package.json ./
+USER node
+CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"]
+# Result: ~150MB image with only production artifacts
+```
+
+### Layer Caching Optimization
+```dockerfile
+# Bad — cache busted on every code change
+COPY . .
+RUN npm install
+
+# Good — dependencies cached separately from code
+COPY package*.json ./
+RUN npm ci
+COPY . .
+```
+
+### Security Hardening
+```dockerfile
+# Run as non-root
+RUN addgroup -g 1001 appgroup && adduser -u 1001 -G appgroup -s /bin/sh -D appuser
+USER appuser
+
+# Read-only filesystem
+# (set in docker-compose or k8s, not Dockerfile)
+
+# No shell access in production
+FROM gcr.io/distroless/nodejs:20
+
+# Pin base image digests for reproducibility
+FROM node:20-alpine@sha256:abc123...
+```
+
+### Common Docker Commands
+```bash
+# Build with build args and tags
+docker build -t myapp:v1.2.3 --build-arg NODE_ENV=production .
+
+# Run with resource limits
+docker run -d --name myapp \
+  --memory=512m --cpus=0.5 \
+  --restart=unless-stopped \
+  -p 3000:3000 \
+  myapp:v1.2.3
+
+# Inspect container
+docker inspect myapp | jq '.[0].State'
+
+# Execute command in running container
+docker exec -it myapp sh
+
+# View logs with timestamps
+docker logs --since 1h --timestamps myapp
+
+# Clean up unused resources
+docker system prune -af --volumes
+
+# Export/import images (for air-gapped environments)
+docker save myapp:v1.2.3 | gzip > myapp-v1.2.3.tar.gz
+docker load < myapp-v1.2.3.tar.gz
+
+# Multi-platform build
+docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t myapp:v1.2.3 --push .
+```

+
+## Kubernetes Reference
+
+### Common kubectl Commands
+```bash
+# Context and cluster management
+kubectl config get-contexts
+kubectl config use-context production
+kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=myapp
+
+# Resource inspection
+kubectl get pods -o wide                              # Pods with node info
+kubectl get pods -l app=myapp --sort-by=.status.startTime  # Sorted by start time
+kubectl describe pod $POD_NAME                        # Detailed pod info
+kubectl get events --sort-by=.lastTimestamp            # Recent events
+kubectl get all -n $NAMESPACE                          # All resources in namespace
+
+# Debugging
+kubectl logs $POD_NAME -c $CONTAINER --tail=100       # Container logs
+kubectl logs $POD_NAME --previous                      # Previous container logs (after crash)
+kubectl exec -it $POD_NAME -- sh                       # Shell into pod
+kubectl port-forward svc/myapp 8080:80                 # Local port forward
+kubectl run debug --image=alpine --rm -it -- sh        # Ephemeral debug pod
+
+# Scaling and updates
+kubectl scale deployment/myapp --replicas=5
+kubectl rollout status deployment/myapp
+kubectl rollout history deployment/myapp
+kubectl rollout undo deployment/myapp                  # Rollback to previous
+kubectl rollout undo deployment/myapp --to-revision=3  # Rollback to specific
+
+# Resource management
+kubectl top pods --sort-by=memory                      # Pod resource usage
+kubectl top nodes                                       # Node resource usage
+kubectl api-resources                                   # Available resource types
+
+# Apply and delete
+kubectl apply -f manifest.yaml --dry-run=client        # Dry run first
+kubectl apply -f manifest.yaml                          # Apply changes
+kubectl delete -f manifest.yaml                         # Remove resources
+kubectl diff -f manifest.yaml                           # Preview changes
+```
+
+### Resource Types Quick Reference
+| Resource | Shortname | Purpose |
+|----------|-----------|---------|
+| Pod | po | Smallest deployable unit |
+| Deployment | deploy | Manages ReplicaSets and rolling updates |
+| Service | svc | Stable network endpoint for pods |
+| ConfigMap | cm | Non-sensitive configuration |
+| Secret | secret | Sensitive data (base64 encoded) |
+| Ingress | ing | External HTTP(S) routing |
+| PersistentVolumeClaim | pvc | Storage request |
+| HorizontalPodAutoscaler | hpa | Auto-scaling based on metrics |
+| NetworkPolicy | netpol | Network traffic rules |
+| ServiceAccount | sa | Pod identity for RBAC |
+| CronJob | cj | Scheduled jobs |
+| DaemonSet | ds | One pod per node (logging, monitoring agents) |
+| StatefulSet | sts | Stateful workloads (databases, queues) |
+
+### Troubleshooting Decision Tree
+```
+Pod not starting?
+  |-- ImagePullBackOff --> Check image name, registry auth, network
+  |-- CrashLoopBackOff --> Check logs (kubectl logs --previous)
+  |-- Pending --> Check resources (kubectl describe pod), node capacity
+  |-- OOMKilled --> Increase memory limits
+  |-- CreateContainerConfigError --> Check ConfigMaps/Secrets exist
+
+Service not reachable?
+  |-- Check selector matches pod labels
+  |-- Check pod is Ready (readiness probe passing)
+  |-- Check network policies allow traffic
+  |-- Check service port matches container port
+  |-- Use kubectl port-forward to test directly
+```

+
+## Terraform Patterns
+
+### State Management
+```hcl
+# Remote state (S3 backend)
+terraform {
+  backend "s3" {
+    bucket         = "myorg-terraform-state"
+    key            = "environments/production/terraform.tfstate"
+    region         = "us-east-1"
+    dynamodb_table = "terraform-lock"
+    encrypt        = true
+  }
+}
+
+# State locking prevents concurrent modifications
+# DynamoDB table for locking:
+# aws dynamodb create-table --table-name terraform-lock \
+#   --attribute-definitions AttributeName=LockID,AttributeType=S \
+#   --key-schema AttributeName=LockID,KeyType=HASH \
+#   --billing-mode PAY_PER_REQUEST
+```
+
+### Module Structure
+```
+modules/
+  vpc/
+    main.tf
+    variables.tf
+    outputs.tf
+  ecs-service/
+    main.tf
+    variables.tf
+    outputs.tf
+environments/
+  production/
+    main.tf       # Uses modules
+    variables.tf
+    terraform.tfvars
+  staging/
+    main.tf
+    variables.tf
+    terraform.tfvars
+```
+
+### Common Commands
+```bash
+# Initialize (download providers and modules)
+terraform init
+
+# Format code
+terraform fmt -recursive
+
+# Validate syntax
+terraform validate
+
+# Plan changes (ALWAYS review before apply)
+terraform plan -out=tfplan
+
+# Apply changes
+terraform apply tfplan
+
+# Import existing resource
+terraform import aws_instance.web i-1234567890abcdef0
+
+# State management
+terraform state list                          # List all resources
+terraform state show aws_instance.web         # Show resource details
+terraform state mv aws_instance.old aws_instance.new  # Rename
+terraform state rm aws_instance.orphan        # Remove from state (not cloud)
+
+# Workspace management (environment isolation)
+terraform workspace list
+terraform workspace new staging
+terraform workspace select production
+
+# Destroy (DANGEROUS — use with caution)
+terraform plan -destroy -out=destroy.tfplan   # Preview destruction
+terraform apply destroy.tfplan                # Execute destruction
+```
+
+### Terraform Best Practices
+- Always use remote state with locking
+- Never commit `.tfvars` files with secrets — use environment variables or vault
+- Pin provider versions: `required_providers { aws = { version = "~> 5.0" } }`
+- Use modules for reusable components
+- Tag all resources with `project`, `environment`, `owner`, `managed_by = "terraform"`
+- Use `prevent_destroy` lifecycle rule on critical resources
+- Run `terraform plan` in CI, `terraform apply` only from CD with approval
+

+
+## CI/CD Pipeline Design Patterns
+
+### Build-Test-Deploy (Standard)
+```
+[Commit] --> [Build] --> [Unit Test] --> [Integration Test] --> [Security Scan] --> [Deploy Staging] --> [E2E Test] --> [Deploy Production]
+```
+
+### Blue-Green Deployment
+```
+Production traffic --> [Blue (v1.0)]
+                      [Green (v1.1)] <-- deploy new version here
+
+# After validation:
+Production traffic --> [Green (v1.1)]
+                      [Blue (v1.0)] <-- keep as rollback
+
+# Kubernetes implementation:
+kubectl apply -f deployment-green.yaml
+kubectl patch svc myapp -p '{"spec":{"selector":{"version":"green"}}}'
+
+# Rollback:
+kubectl patch svc myapp -p '{"spec":{"selector":{"version":"blue"}}}'
+```
+
+### Canary Deployment
+```
+Production traffic --> 95% [v1.0 (10 replicas)]
+                   --> 5%  [v1.1 (1 replica)]
+
+# Gradually shift: 5% -> 25% -> 50% -> 100%
+# Monitor error rates and latency at each step
+# Rollback if metrics degrade
+
+# Kubernetes with Istio:
+apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
+kind: VirtualService
+spec:
+  http:
+  - route:
+    - destination:
+        host: myapp
+        subset: v1
+      weight: 95
+    - destination:
+        host: myapp
+        subset: v2
+      weight: 5
+```
+
+### Rolling Update (Kubernetes Default)
+```yaml
+spec:
+  strategy:
+    type: RollingUpdate
+    rollingUpdate:
+      maxUnavailable: 1   # At most 1 pod down during update
+      maxSurge: 1          # At most 1 extra pod during update
+```
+
+### Feature Flags (Decouple Deploy from Release)
+```
+Deploy code with flag OFF --> Enable flag for 1% --> Monitor --> 10% --> 50% --> 100%
+Rollback = disable flag (instant, no deploy needed)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Monitoring Stack Reference
+
+### Prometheus
+```yaml
+# prometheus.yml
+global:
+  scrape_interval: 15s
+  evaluation_interval: 15s
+
+scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: 'application'
+    static_configs:
+      - targets: ['app:3000']
+    metrics_path: '/metrics'
+
+  - job_name: 'node-exporter'
+    static_configs:
+      - targets: ['node-exporter:9100']
+
+  - job_name: 'cadvisor'
+    static_configs:
+      - targets: ['cadvisor:8080']
+```
+
+### Key Metrics to Monitor
+| Category | Metric | Alert Threshold |
+|----------|--------|-----------------|
+| **Availability** | Uptime percentage | <99.9% |
+| **Latency** | p50, p95, p99 response time | p99 > 1s |
+| **Error Rate** | 5xx responses / total requests | >1% |
+| **Saturation** | CPU utilization | >80% for 5min |
+| **Saturation** | Memory utilization | >85% for 5min |
+| **Saturation** | Disk utilization | >85% |
+| **Traffic** | Requests per second | Anomaly detection |
+| **Queue** | Message queue depth | Growing for 10min |
+| **Database** | Connection pool usage | >80% |
+| **Database** | Query latency p95 | >100ms |
+
+### Grafana Dashboard Essentials
+```bash
+# Import pre-built dashboards (by ID)
+# Node Exporter Full: 1860
+# Docker Container Monitoring: 893
+# Kubernetes Cluster: 6417
+# PostgreSQL: 9628
+# Nginx: 12708
+
+curl -X POST http://admin:admin@localhost:3000/api/dashboards/import \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"dashboard":{"id":null,"uid":null},"pluginId":"","overwrite":false,"inputs":[],"folderId":0,"dashboardId":1860}'
+```
+
+### CloudWatch (AWS)
+```bash
+# Put custom metric
+aws cloudwatch put-metric-data \
+  --namespace "MyApp" \
+  --metric-name "RequestCount" \
+  --value 1 \
+  --unit Count
+
+# Create alarm
+aws cloudwatch put-metric-alarm \
+  --alarm-name "HighErrorRate" \
+  --metric-name "5XXError" \
+  --namespace "AWS/ApplicationELB" \
+  --statistic Sum \
+  --period 300 \
+  --threshold 10 \
+  --comparison-operator GreaterThanThreshold \
+  --evaluation-periods 2 \
+  --alarm-actions "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789:alerts"
+```
+
+### Datadog
+```bash
+# Send custom metric via DogStatsD
+echo "myapp.request.count:1|c|#env:production,service:api" | nc -u -w1 localhost 8125
+
+# Send event
+curl -X POST "https://api.datadoghq.com/api/v1/events" \
+  -H "DD-API-KEY: $DD_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"title":"Deploy v1.2.3","text":"Deployed new version","tags":["env:production"]}'
+```

+
+## Zero-Downtime Deployment Strategies
+
+### Pre-deployment Checklist
+- [ ] All tests passing in CI
+- [ ] Database migrations are backward-compatible
+- [ ] Feature flags in place for new functionality
+- [ ] Monitoring dashboards open and baselines noted
+- [ ] Rollback procedure documented and tested
+- [ ] Communication sent to stakeholders
+
+### Database Migration Safety
+```
+Rule: Every migration must be backward-compatible with the PREVIOUS application version.
+
+Safe operations:
+  - Add new column (with default or nullable)
+  - Add new table
+  - Add new index (CONCURRENTLY in PostgreSQL)
+
+Unsafe operations (require multi-step):
+  - Rename column: add new -> copy data -> deploy code using new -> drop old
+  - Remove column: deploy code not using column -> drop column
+  - Change column type: add new typed column -> migrate data -> switch code -> drop old
+```
+
+### Health Check Pattern
+```
+1. Deploy new version alongside old
+2. New version health check must pass:
+   - /health  (basic: process alive, can respond)
+   - /ready   (full: all dependencies reachable, warmed up)
+3. Only route traffic after /ready returns 200
+4. Keep old version running until new version is stable (5-10 minutes)
+5. Terminate old version
+```
+
+---
+
+## Infrastructure Security Checklist
+
+### Network
+- [ ] All external traffic over TLS 1.2+
+- [ ] Internal service-to-service communication encrypted (mTLS or VPN)
+- [ ] Network segmentation (public, private, data tiers)
+- [ ] Firewall rules follow least-privilege (deny all, allow specific)
+- [ ] No services exposed on 0.0.0.0 unnecessarily
+- [ ] SSH key-based auth only (no password auth)
+- [ ] VPN or bastion host for admin access
+
+### Identity & Access
+- [ ] IAM roles/policies follow least privilege
+- [ ] No root/admin credentials in use for daily operations
+- [ ] MFA enabled for all human accounts
+- [ ] Service accounts have minimal scoped permissions
+- [ ] Credentials rotated regularly (90 days max)
+- [ ] No hardcoded secrets in code, configs, or Docker images
+
+### Container Security
+- [ ] Base images from trusted registries only
+- [ ] Images scanned for CVEs before deployment
+- [ ] Containers run as non-root
+- [ ] Read-only root filesystem where possible
+- [ ] No privileged containers
+- [ ] Resource limits set (CPU, memory)
+- [ ] No host network or host PID namespace
+
+### Data Protection
+- [ ] Encryption at rest for all databases and storage
+- [ ] Encryption in transit for all data flows
+- [ ] Backup encryption enabled
+- [ ] PII handling compliant with applicable regulations
+- [ ] Audit logging for data access
+

+## Incident Response Procedures Template
+
+### Severity Classification
+| Level | Impact | Response Time | Examples |
+|-------|--------|---------------|---------|
+| P1 - Critical | Complete outage, data loss | 15 minutes | API down, database corruption, security breach |
+| P2 - High | Major degradation | 30 minutes | Key feature broken, high error rate, slow responses |
+| P3 - Medium | Minor impact | 4 hours | Non-critical feature broken, intermittent errors |
+| P4 - Low | No user impact | Next business day | Cosmetic issue, minor optimization needed |
+
+### Incident Response Steps
+```
+1. DETECT
+   - Alert fires from monitoring
+   - User reports via support channel
+   - Synthetic monitoring fails
+
+2. TRIAGE (within response time SLA)
+   - Assign severity level
+   - Identify affected systems
+   - Determine blast radius
+   - Open incident channel
+
+3. MITIGATE (stop the bleeding)
+   - Rollback if recent deploy: kubectl rollout undo deploy/$APP
+   - Scale up if overloaded: kubectl scale deploy/$APP --replicas=10
+   - Failover if region issue: update DNS / load balancer
+   - Circuit break if dependency down: enable fallback mode
+   - Block if attack: update WAF / security group rules
+
+4. DIAGNOSE
+   - Check recent deploys: git log --oneline -5
+   - Check metrics: Grafana / CloudWatch dashboards
+   - Check logs: kubectl logs / CloudWatch Logs
+   - Check dependencies: database, cache, external APIs
+   - Check infrastructure: node health, disk, network
+
+5. RESOLVE
+   - Apply fix (hotfix branch if needed)
+   - Verify fix in staging
+   - Deploy fix to production
+   - Verify metrics return to normal
+   - Monitor for 30 minutes
+
+6. POST-MORTEM (within 48 hours)
+   - Timeline of events
+   - Root cause analysis (5 Whys)
+   - What went well
+   - What could be improved
+   - Action items with owners and deadlines
+```
+
+---
+
+## IaC Best Practices
+
+### DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
+```hcl
+# Bad — repeated config for each environment
+resource "aws_instance" "web_staging" {
+  ami           = "ami-12345"
+  instance_type = "t3.small"
+  tags = { Environment = "staging" }
+}
+
+resource "aws_instance" "web_production" {
+  ami           = "ami-12345"
+  instance_type = "t3.large"
+  tags = { Environment = "production" }
+}
+
+# Good — module with variables
+module "web" {
+  source        = "./modules/web-server"
+  instance_type = var.instance_type
+  environment   = var.environment
+}
+```
+
+### Remote State with Locking
+```
+Always use:
+- Remote backend (S3, GCS, Azure Blob)
+- State locking (DynamoDB, GCS built-in, Azure Blob lease)
+- State encryption at rest
+- Separate state per environment
+- Limited IAM access to state bucket
+```
+
+### Tagging Strategy
+```hcl
+locals {
+  common_tags = {
+    Project     = var.project_name
+    Environment = var.environment
+    ManagedBy   = "terraform"
+    Owner       = var.team_name
+    CostCenter  = var.cost_center
+    CreatedAt   = timestamp()
+  }
+}
+```
+

+
+## Phase 0 — Platform Detection & API Initialization (ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST)
+
+Detect the operating system:
+```
+python3 -c "import platform; print(platform.system())"
+```
+
+Verify LinkedIn API access and retrieve your profile:
+```bash
+curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINKEDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
+  "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/userinfo" -o linkedin_me.json
+cat linkedin_me.json
+```
+Extract your `sub` (member URN) from the response — this is your unique LinkedIn ID used in all API calls.
+Format: the `sub` field value is used as the person URN: `urn:li:person:<sub_value>`
+
+If this fails with 401, alert the user that the LINKEDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN is invalid or expired.
+
+Recover state:
+1. memory_recall `linkedin_hand_state` — load previous posting history, engagement data, performance metrics
+2. Read **User Configuration** for content_style, post_frequency, content_topics, approval_mode, etc.
+3. file_read `linkedin_queue.json` if it exists — pending posts
+4. file_read `linkedin_posted.json` if it exists — posting history
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Content Strategy
+
+On first run or when `content_topics` changes:
+
+1. Research trending topics in your content areas:
+   - web_search "[topic] LinkedIn trending 2025"
+   - web_search "[topic] thought leadership insights"
+   - web_search "[topic] industry report latest"
+
+2. Identify content gaps — what professionals in your space are NOT talking about
+
+3. Build a content calendar based on `post_frequency`:
+   - 1_daily: Post at optimal time (Tue-Thu 9 AM local)
+   - 3_daily: Post at 8 AM, 12 PM, 5 PM (rotate content types)
+   - weekly: Post Tuesday or Thursday at 9 AM (highest engagement day)
+
+4. Create content pillars from `content_topics`:
+   ```
+   Example:
+     Pillar 1: AI & Technology (40% of posts)
+     Pillar 2: Leadership & Management (30%)
+     Pillar 3: Career Growth (20%)
+     Pillar 4: Industry Trends (10%)
+   ```
+
+5. Store strategy in knowledge graph for consistency across sessions
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Content Creation
+
+Create content matching the configured `content_style`.
+
+Content types to rotate:
+1. **Insight Post**: Share a non-obvious observation about your industry with a clear takeaway
+2. **Story Post**: Personal narrative with a professional lesson (the LinkedIn viral format)
+3. **How-To Post**: Actionable steps to solve a common professional challenge
+4. **Poll**: Quick engagement driver asking a relevant professional question
+5. **Carousel Concept**: Outline for a multi-image carousel (text description of each slide)
+6. **Article** (if `article_mode` enabled): Long-form thought piece (800-2000 words)
+7. **Document Share**: Commentary on a relevant report, study, or industry document
+
+Style guidelines by `content_style`:
+- **Thought Leadership**: Authoritative, forward-looking, backed by data or experience. Challenge conventional thinking. Use phrases like "Here's what I've learned..." or "The industry is getting this wrong..."
+- **Casual**: Conversational, approachable, first-person. Share real moments and honest reflections. Less polished, more relatable.
+- **Storytelling**: Narrative-driven, beginning-middle-end structure. Start with a vivid scene or moment. End with a clear lesson or insight.
+- **Data Driven**: Lead with numbers, charts, or research findings. Cite specific sources. Draw non-obvious conclusions from data.
+
+LinkedIn post structure (Hook-Body-CTA):
+```
+[HOOK — first 2 lines before "...see more"]
+A compelling opening that makes people expand the post.
+This is the most important part — 80% of your post's success depends on the hook.
+
+[BODY — the substance]
+The actual insight, story, or advice.
+Use line breaks for readability.
+Keep paragraphs to 1-3 sentences.
+
+[CTA — call to action]
+A question or invitation to engage.
+"What's been your experience with this?"
+"Agree or disagree? I'd love to hear your perspective."
+```
+
+Post rules:
+- First 2 lines are CRITICAL — this is all people see before "...see more"
+- Use line breaks liberally — no walls of text
+- Keep posts between 150-1300 characters for optimal engagement (sweet spot: 800-1200)
+- Articles: 800-2000 words with clear headers and actionable takeaways
+- Hashtags: 3-5 per post, placed at the end (not inline)
+- Mix popular hashtags (#leadership, #AI) with niche ones (#productledgrowth, #MLOps)
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Posting
+
+If `approval_mode` is ENABLED:
+1. Write generated content to `linkedin_queue.json`:
+   ```json
+   [
+     {
+       "id": "q_001",
+       "type": "text_post",
+       "content": "Full post text here...",
+       "hashtags": ["#AI", "#leadership", "#productmanagement"],
+       "content_style": "thought_leadership",
+       "pillar": "AI & Technology",
+       "scheduled_for": "2025-01-15T09:00:00Z",
+       "created": "2025-01-14T20:00:00Z",
+       "status": "pending",
+       "notes": "Based on trending discussion about AI in enterprise"
+     }
+   ]
+   ```
+2. Write a human-readable `linkedin_queue_preview.md` for easy review
+3. event_publish "linkedin_queue_updated" with queue size
+4. Do NOT post — wait for user to approve
+
+If `approval_mode` is DISABLED:
+1. Post text content via LinkedIn API v2:
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINKEDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-Restli-Protocol-Version: 2.0.0" \
+  -d '{
+    "author": "urn:li:person:YOUR_PERSON_URN",
+    "lifecycleState": "PUBLISHED",
+    "specificContent": {
+      "com.linkedin.ugc.ShareContent": {
+        "shareCommentary": {
+          "text": "YOUR POST TEXT HERE\n\n#hashtag1 #hashtag2"
+        },
+        "shareMediaCategory": "NONE"
+      }
+    },
+    "visibility": {
+      "com.linkedin.ugc.MemberNetworkVisibility": "PUBLIC"
+    }
+  }' -o linkedin_post_response.json
+cat linkedin_post_response.json
+```
+
+2. For posts with a link/article share:
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINKEDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-Restli-Protocol-Version: 2.0.0" \
+  -d '{
+    "author": "urn:li:person:YOUR_PERSON_URN",
+    "lifecycleState": "PUBLISHED",
+    "specificContent": {
+      "com.linkedin.ugc.ShareContent": {
+        "shareCommentary": {
+          "text": "Your commentary about the link..."
+        },
+        "shareMediaCategory": "ARTICLE",
+        "media": [
+          {
+            "status": "READY",
+            "originalUrl": "https://example.com/article"
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    },
+    "visibility": {
+      "com.linkedin.ugc.MemberNetworkVisibility": "PUBLIC"
+    }
+  }' -o linkedin_post_response.json
+```
+
+3. Log each post to `linkedin_posted.json` with post ID from response
+4. Respect rate limits: LinkedIn allows ~100 API calls per day for most apps, and posting is limited to ~25 posts per day
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — Engagement
+
+If `network_engage` is enabled:
+
+1. React to connections' posts (like/celebrate/support):
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/reactions" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINKEDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "root": "urn:li:ugcPost:POST_URN",
+    "reactionType": "LIKE"
+  }'
+```
+Available reaction types: LIKE, PRAISE (celebrate), MAYBE (curious), APPRECIATION (love), EMPATHY (support), INTEREST (insightful)
+
+2. Comment on relevant posts from your network:
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/socialActions/urn:li:ugcPost:POST_URN/comments" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINKEDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "actor": "urn:li:person:YOUR_PERSON_URN",
+    "message": {
+      "text": "Your insightful comment here..."
+    }
+  }'
+```
+
+3. Respond to comments on your own posts — this is critical for the algorithm:
+```bash
+curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINKEDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
+  "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/socialActions/urn:li:ugcPost:YOUR_POST_URN/comments?count=20" \
+  -o post_comments.json
+```
+Reply to every comment within 1-2 hours for maximum algorithmic boost.
+
+Engagement strategy:
+- Comment on 5-10 posts from your network daily (add genuine insight, not just "Great post!")
+- Reply to ALL comments on your posts within 2 hours (the algorithm heavily rewards this)
+- Use reactions strategically — "Insightful" and "Celebrate" carry more weight than "Like"
+- Engage with influencers in your niche — thoughtful comments on their posts increase your visibility
+- NEVER leave generic comments ("Great post!", "Thanks for sharing!", "Agreed!") — always add value
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5 — Analytics
+
+Track post performance:
+```bash
+curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINKEDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
+  "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/socialActions/urn:li:ugcPost:POST_URN" \
+  -o post_analytics.json
+```
+
+Metrics to track per post:
+- Likes, comments, shares, impressions (if available via Marketing API)
+- Engagement rate = (likes + comments + shares) / impressions
+- Comment quality — are people engaging meaningfully or just reacting?
+
+Analyze patterns:
+- Which content type performs best? (stories vs insights vs how-tos)
+- Which posting time gets the most engagement?
+- Which topics resonate most with your audience?
+- Which hashtags drive the most discovery?
+- Do posts with questions get more comments?
+
+Store insights in knowledge graph for future content optimization.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6 — State Persistence
+
+1. Save content queue to `linkedin_queue.json`
+2. Save posting history to `linkedin_posted.json`
+3. memory_store `linkedin_hand_state`: last_run, queue_size, total_posted, total_articles, engagement_data, performance_trends
+4. Update dashboard stats:
+   - memory_store `linkedin_hand_posts_published` — total posts ever published
+   - memory_store `linkedin_hand_articles_written` — total articles written
+   - memory_store `linkedin_hand_engagement_rate` — average engagement rate across recent posts
+   - memory_store `linkedin_hand_connections_made` — net new connections since tracking began
+
+---
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- ALWAYS maintain a professional tone — LinkedIn is a professional network, not Twitter or Reddit
+- NEVER post controversial political opinions, religious commentary, or divisive social content
+- NEVER disparage competitors, former employers, or colleagues
+- NEVER share confidential business information, salary details, or internal company metrics
+- NEVER send unsolicited connection requests with sales pitches
+- NEVER spam hashtags (5 max per post) or tag people without context
+- Respect LinkedIn's Terms of Service and API rate limits at all times
+- In `approval_mode` (default), ALWAYS write to queue — NEVER post without user review
+- If the API returns an error, log it and retry once — then skip and alert the user
+- Keep a healthy content mix — don't post the same content type repeatedly
+- If the user messages you, pause posting and respond to their question
+- Monitor API rate limits and back off when approaching limits
+- Add genuine professional value in every interaction — no empty engagement
+- When in doubt about a post, DON'T publish it — add it to the queue with a note
+- If a post receives negative reactions, analyze why and adjust strategy — do not delete unless asked

+      }
+    },
+    "visibility": { "com.linkedin.ugc.MemberNetworkVisibility": "PUBLIC" }
+  }'
+```
+
+**Delete a post**:
+```bash
+curl -s -X DELETE "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts/POST_URN" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINKEDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN"
+```
+
+**Get post engagement stats**:
+```bash
+curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINKEDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
+  "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/socialActions/POST_URN"
+```
+
+### Image Upload Flow
+1. Register upload:
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/assets?action=registerUpload" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINKEDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "registerUploadRequest": {
+      "recipes": ["urn:li:digitalmediaRecipe:feedshare-image"],
+      "owner": "urn:li:person:YOUR_MEMBER_URN",
+      "serviceRelationships": [{"identifier": "urn:li:userGeneratedContent", "relationshipType": "OWNER"}]
+    }
+  }'
+```
+2. Upload binary to the `uploadUrl` from response
+3. Use the `asset` URN in your post's media array
+
+### Rate Limits
+- **Posts per day**: 100 (company pages), ~25 recommended for personal
+- **API calls**: 100 requests per day per member for most endpoints
+- **Throttling**: 429 status code — back off and retry with exponential delay
+- **Token expiry**: Access tokens expire after 60 days — refresh before expiry
+
+## Content Strategy for LinkedIn
+
+### Post Formats That Perform Best
+1. **Text-only posts** — Highest organic reach (no outbound links)
+2. **Document/Carousel posts** — High engagement, swipeable slides
+3. **Polls** — Algorithm-boosted, drives comments
+4. **Image posts** — Good engagement with relevant visuals
+5. **Video** — Native video preferred over YouTube links
+6. **Articles** — Long-form, lower initial reach but evergreen
+
+### The LinkedIn Algorithm (How Feed Works)
+1. **First hour is critical** — post gets shown to ~10% of connections
+2. **Engagement velocity** determines wider distribution
+3. **Comments > Reactions > Shares** in algorithm weight
+4. **Dwell time** matters — longer posts that people read signal quality
+5. **External links reduce reach** — put links in first comment instead
+6. **Posting frequency**: 1-2x/day max, 3-5x/week optimal
+7. **Best times**: Tue-Thu, 7-8 AM or 12-1 PM (audience timezone)
+
+### Post Structure (The Hook-Body-CTA Pattern)
+```
+[Hook — first 2 lines visible before "...see more"]
+
+[Body — the value, insight, or story]
+
+[CTA — engagement ask]
+```
+
+### Hook Formulas
+1. **The Contrarian**: "Everyone says [X]. I disagree. Here's why:"
+2. **The Story**: "3 years ago, I [made a mistake]. Here's what I learned:"
+3. **The Data**: "[Specific number/stat] changed how I think about [topic]."
+4. **The List**: "[N] lessons from [experience] that most people miss:"
+5. **The Question**: "What if [common practice] is actually holding you back?"
+6. **The Confession**: "I used to [common behavior]. Then I realized..."
+
+### Formatting Rules
+- **Line breaks are your friend** — one idea per line
+- **Use emojis as bullets** sparingly (→, ✅, 🔑, 📌)
+- **Bold with asterisks** not supported — use ALL CAPS for emphasis (sparingly)
+- **Max length**: 3,000 characters, but 1,200-1,500 is sweet spot
+- **Hashtags**: 3-5 max, at the end of the post
+- **No hashtag walls** — use specific ones (#ProductManagement not #business)
+
+### Content Pillars for Thought Leadership
+1. **Industry Insights** — trends, analysis, predictions
+2. **Lessons Learned** — failures, pivots, retrospectives
+3. **How-To/Tactical** — frameworks, templates, processes
+4. **Behind the Scenes** — build-in-public, day-in-the-life
+5. **Curated Commentary** — react to news with unique angle
+
+## Engagement Playbook
+
+### Commenting Strategy
+- Comment on posts from people in your target audience
+- Add genuine value — don't just say "Great post!"
+- Ask thoughtful follow-up questions
+- Share relevant experience or data points
+- Comment within first hour of their post for visibility
+
+### Connection Growth
+- Send personalized connection requests (not default message)
+- Engage with someone's content 2-3 times before connecting
+- Accept all relevant industry connections
+- Follow-up new connections with a non-salesy message
+
+### Response Protocol
+- Reply to every comment on your posts within 2 hours
+- Ask follow-up questions to keep threads going
+- Pin the best comments to keep discussion visible
+- Thank people who share your posts
+
+## Safety & Professional Guidelines
+
+### Never Post
+- Confidential company information
+- Negative comments about employers/colleagues
+- Unverified claims or statistics
+- Content that could be seen as discriminatory
+- Overly promotional/salesy content (keep to 10% max)
+
+### Approval Queue Behavior
+When `approval_mode` is enabled (default):
+1. Draft the post content
+2. Save to approval queue with `event_publish`
+3. Wait for user approval before posting via API
+4. Log the approved post to knowledge graph
+
+### Professional Tone Checklist
+- ✅ Would you say this in a conference talk?
+- ✅ Does it provide genuine value to the reader?
+- ✅ Is it backed by experience or data?
+- ✅ Would your CEO/manager be comfortable seeing this?
+- ❌ Is it a humble-brag disguised as advice?
+- ❌ Does it punch down or mock others?
+

+
+## Phase 0 — Platform Detection & API Initialization (ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST)
+
+Detect the operating system:
+```
+python3 -c "import platform; print(platform.system())"
+```
+
+Ensure PRAW is installed:
+```
+python3 -c "import praw; print(f'PRAW version: {praw.__version__}')" 2>/dev/null || pip3 install praw
+```
+
+Verify Reddit API access and authenticate:
+```
+python3 -c "
+import praw, os
+r = praw.Reddit(
+    client_id=os.environ['REDDIT_CLIENT_ID'],
+    client_secret=os.environ['REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET'],
+    username=os.environ['REDDIT_USERNAME'],
+    password=os.environ['REDDIT_PASSWORD'],
+    user_agent='OpenFang:reddit-hand:v1.0 (by /u/' + os.environ['REDDIT_USERNAME'] + ')'
+)
+me = r.user.me()
+print(f'Authenticated as: {me.name}')
+print(f'Comment karma: {me.comment_karma}')
+print(f'Link karma: {me.link_karma}')
+print(f'Account age: {me.created_utc}')
+"
+```
+If this fails, alert the user that the Reddit API credentials are invalid or missing.
+
+Recover state:
+1. memory_recall `reddit_hand_state` — load previous posting history, karma tracking, performance data
+2. Read **User Configuration** for subreddit_targets, content_style, post_frequency, approval_mode, etc.
+3. file_read `reddit_queue.json` if it exists — pending posts and comments
+4. file_read `reddit_posted.json` if it exists — posting history
+5. file_read `reddit_karma_log.json` if it exists — per-subreddit karma tracking
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Subreddit Analysis & Strategy
+
+For each subreddit in `subreddit_targets`:
+
+1. Research subreddit rules and culture:
+```python
+python3 -c "
+import praw, os, json
+r = praw.Reddit(
+    client_id=os.environ['REDDIT_CLIENT_ID'],
+    client_secret=os.environ['REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET'],
+    username=os.environ['REDDIT_USERNAME'],
+    password=os.environ['REDDIT_PASSWORD'],
+    user_agent='OpenFang:reddit-hand:v1.0 (by /u/' + os.environ['REDDIT_USERNAME'] + ')'
+)
+sub = r.subreddit('TARGET_SUBREDDIT')
+print(f'Name: {sub.display_name}')
+print(f'Subscribers: {sub.subscribers}')
+print(f'Active users: {sub.accounts_active}')
+print(f'Description: {sub.public_description[:500]}')
+print(f'Rules:')
+for rule in sub.rules:
+    print(f'  - {rule.short_name}: {rule.description[:200]}')
+"
+```
+
+2. Identify top posts and content gaps:
+```python
+python3 -c "
+import praw, os, json
+r = praw.Reddit(
+    client_id=os.environ['REDDIT_CLIENT_ID'],
+    client_secret=os.environ['REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET'],
+    username=os.environ['REDDIT_USERNAME'],
+    password=os.environ['REDDIT_PASSWORD'],
+    user_agent='OpenFang:reddit-hand:v1.0 (by /u/' + os.environ['REDDIT_USERNAME'] + ')'
+)
+sub = r.subreddit('TARGET_SUBREDDIT')
+print('=== Top posts this week ===')
+for post in sub.top(time_filter='week', limit=10):
+    print(f'[{post.score}] {post.title} ({post.num_comments} comments)')
+print()
+print('=== Hot posts ===')
+for post in sub.hot(limit=10):
+    print(f'[{post.score}] {post.title} ({post.num_comments} comments)')
+print()
+print('=== New posts (unanswered opportunities) ===')
+for post in sub.new(limit=15):
+    if post.num_comments < 3:
+        print(f'[{post.score}] {post.title} ({post.num_comments} comments)')
+"
+```
+
+3. Map active posting times using top post timestamps
+4. Store subreddit analysis in knowledge graph for consistent strategy across sessions
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Content Creation
+
+Follow the 90/10 Rule: 90% genuine value to the community, 10% subtle promotion (if any).
+
+Content types to rotate:
+1. **Helpful Answer**: Find unanswered questions in target subreddits and provide detailed, expert answers with code examples, links to docs, or step-by-step solutions
+2. **How-To Guide**: Create self-post tutorials that solve common problems in the subreddit's domain
+3. **Discussion Starter**: Post thought-provoking questions or observations that invite conversation
+4. **Resource Sharing**: Share genuinely useful tools, articles, or repos with personal commentary on why they matter
+5. **AMA Participation**: Answer questions in relevant AMAs or "Ask" threads with detailed, authentic responses
+6. **Experience Report**: Share personal experiences, lessons learned, or case studies relevant to the subreddit
+
+Style guidelines by `content_style`:
+- **Helpful**: Clear, thorough, well-formatted answers. Include code blocks, links, and step-by-step instructions. Be patient and welcoming.
+- **Casual**: Conversational and relatable. Use informal language. Share opinions naturally. Light humor is okay.
+- **Technical**: Precise, data-driven, cite sources. Use proper terminology. Include benchmarks, comparisons, and technical depth.
+- **Humorous**: Witty and entertaining while still adding value. Use analogies and creative explanations. Never sacrifice accuracy for laughs.
+
+Reddit-specific writing rules:
+- Use Markdown formatting: headers, bullet lists, code blocks, bold/italic
+- For long posts, include a TL;DR at the top or bottom
+- Link to sources and references — Reddit respects citations
+- Never use clickbait titles — be descriptive and honest
+- Match the subreddit's posting conventions (some prefer questions, some prefer links, some prefer self-posts)
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Posting
+
+If `approval_mode` is ENABLED:
+1. Write generated content to `reddit_queue.json`:
+   ```json
+   [
+     {
+       "id": "q_001",
+       "type": "self_post",
+       "subreddit": "python",
+       "title": "How to properly handle async context managers in Python 3.12",
+       "body": "Full post body here...",
+       "created": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z",
+       "status": "pending",
+       "notes": "Addresses common confusion seen in 3 unanswered posts this week"
+     },
+     {
+       "id": "q_002",
+       "type": "comment",
+       "subreddit": "machinelearning",
+       "parent_url": "https://reddit.com/r/machinelearning/comments/abc123/...",
+       "body": "Comment text here...",
+       "created": "2025-01-15T10:05:00Z",
+       "status": "pending",
+       "notes": "Answering question about transformer attention patterns"
+     }
+   ]
+   ```
+2. Write a human-readable `reddit_queue_preview.md` for easy review
+3. event_publish "reddit_queue_updated" with queue size
+4. Do NOT post — wait for user to approve
+
+If `approval_mode` is DISABLED:
+1. Post via PRAW:
+```python
+python3 -c "
+import praw, os
+r = praw.Reddit(
+    client_id=os.environ['REDDIT_CLIENT_ID'],
+    client_secret=os.environ['REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET'],
+    username=os.environ['REDDIT_USERNAME'],
+    password=os.environ['REDDIT_PASSWORD'],
+    user_agent='OpenFang:reddit-hand:v1.0 (by /u/' + os.environ['REDDIT_USERNAME'] + ')'
+)
+sub = r.subreddit('TARGET_SUBREDDIT')
+post = sub.submit(title='POST_TITLE', selftext='POST_BODY')
+print(f'Posted: {post.url}')
+print(f'ID: {post.id}')
+"
+```
+
+2. For comments on existing posts:
+```python
+python3 -c "
+import praw, os
+r = praw.Reddit(
+    client_id=os.environ['REDDIT_CLIENT_ID'],
+    client_secret=os.environ['REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET'],
+    username=os.environ['REDDIT_USERNAME'],
+    password=os.environ['REDDIT_PASSWORD'],
+    user_agent='OpenFang:reddit-hand:v1.0 (by /u/' + os.environ['REDDIT_USERNAME'] + ')'
+)
+submission = r.submission(id='POST_ID')
+comment = submission.reply('COMMENT_BODY')
+print(f'Comment posted: {comment.id}')
+print(f'Permalink: https://reddit.com{comment.permalink}')
+"
+```
+
+3. Log each post/comment to `reddit_posted.json`
+4. Track karma changes per subreddit in `reddit_karma_log.json`
+5. Respect rate limits: Reddit API allows 60 requests per minute. Wait at least 10 minutes between posts to the same subreddit to avoid spam filters.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — Engagement
+
+If `auto_reply` is enabled:
+
+1. Check replies to your posts:
+```python
+python3 -c "
+import praw, os
+r = praw.Reddit(
+    client_id=os.environ['REDDIT_CLIENT_ID'],
+    client_secret=os.environ['REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET'],
+    username=os.environ['REDDIT_USERNAME'],
+    password=os.environ['REDDIT_PASSWORD'],
+    user_agent='OpenFang:reddit-hand:v1.0 (by /u/' + os.environ['REDDIT_USERNAME'] + ')'
+)
+for comment in r.inbox.comment_replies(limit=25):
+    if not comment.new:
+        continue
+    print(f'Reply from u/{comment.author}: {comment.body[:200]}')
+    print(f'  On: {comment.submission.title}')
+    print(f'  Link: https://reddit.com{comment.permalink}')
+    print()
+    comment.mark_read()
+"
+```
+
+2. Respond to comments on your posts with genuine, helpful follow-ups
+3. Upvote relevant content in target subreddits (be natural — don't upvote everything)
+4. Find and answer new unanswered questions in target subreddits
+
+Engagement rules:
+- NEVER argue or be defensive — if someone disagrees, acknowledge their perspective and provide additional context
+- NEVER downvote disagreements — only downvote spam or rule-breaking content
+- If a comment is hostile, do not reply — simply move on
+- Thank people who provide helpful corrections
+- If you made an error, edit your post with a correction note — don't delete
+- Participate in meta-discussions about subreddit direction when relevant
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5 — Reputation Monitoring
+
+Track and analyze your Reddit reputation:
+
+1. Monitor karma changes:
+```python
+python3 -c "
+import praw, os, json
+r = praw.Reddit(
+    client_id=os.environ['REDDIT_CLIENT_ID'],
+    client_secret=os.environ['REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET'],
+    username=os.environ['REDDIT_USERNAME'],
+    password=os.environ['REDDIT_PASSWORD'],
+    user_agent='OpenFang:reddit-hand:v1.0 (by /u/' + os.environ['REDDIT_USERNAME'] + ')'
+)
+me = r.user.me()
+print(f'Total comment karma: {me.comment_karma}')
+print(f'Total link karma: {me.link_karma}')
+print()
+print('=== Recent post performance ===')
+for post in r.user.me().submissions.new(limit=10):
+    ratio = f'{post.upvote_ratio:.0%}'
+    print(f'[{post.score} | {ratio}] r/{post.subreddit} - {post.title[:60]} ({post.num_comments} comments)')
+print()
+print('=== Recent comment performance ===')
+for comment in r.user.me().comments.new(limit=10):
+    print(f'[{comment.score}] r/{comment.subreddit} - {comment.body[:80]}...')
+"
+```
+
+2. Identify what is working:
+   - Which subreddits earn the most karma?
+   - Which content types get the most upvotes?
+   - What time of day do posts perform best?
+   - Which comment styles get the most engagement?
+
+3. Adapt strategy based on data:
+   - Double down on content types that perform well
+   - Reduce frequency in subreddits with low engagement
+   - Adjust posting times to match high-activity windows
+   - Refine content style based on upvote ratios
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6 — State Persistence
+
+1. Save content queue to `reddit_queue.json`
+2. Save posting history to `reddit_posted.json`
+3. Save karma log to `reddit_karma_log.json`
+4. memory_store `reddit_hand_state`: last_run, queue_size, total_posts, total_comments, karma_snapshot, performance_data
+5. Update dashboard stats:
+   - memory_store `reddit_hand_posts_created` — total posts ever created
+   - memory_store `reddit_hand_comments_posted` — total comments ever posted
+   - memory_store `reddit_hand_karma_earned` — net karma earned since tracking began
+   - memory_store `reddit_hand_engagement_rate` — average upvote ratio across recent posts
+
+---
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- NEVER spam — Reddit has aggressive anti-spam measures and will shadowban accounts that post too frequently or repetitively
+- NEVER manipulate votes — vote manipulation is a site-wide bannable offense
+- NEVER brigade — do not coordinate activity across subreddits to target specific posts or users
+- NEVER reveal you are a bot — be authentic and contribute genuinely; if directly asked, defer to the user
+- RESPECT subreddit rules — every subreddit has unique rules; violating them leads to bans that cannot be undone
+- Follow the 90/10 rule — at least 90% of your contributions should be genuine value (answers, discussions, resources) with at most 10% subtle self-promotion
+- Avoid self-promotion in the first 2 weeks of joining a subreddit — build credibility first through helpful comments
+- In `approval_mode` (default), ALWAYS write to queue — NEVER post without user review
+- If the API returns an error, log it and retry once — then skip and alert the user
+- If a post gets heavily downvoted (score below -3), stop posting in that subreddit and analyze why
+- Wait at least 10 minutes between posts to the same subreddit to avoid spam filters
+- When in doubt about a post or comment, DON'T post it — add it to the queue with a note
+- If the user messages you, pause engagement and respond to their question
+- Monitor your API rate limit (60 requests/min) and back off when approaching the limit
+- NEVER post content that could be defamatory, discriminatory, or harmful
+- NEVER share private information about anyone
+- NEVER engage with trolls — ignore and move on

+# Reddit Community Building Expert Knowledge
+
+## PRAW (Python Reddit API Wrapper) Reference
+
+### Authentication
+
+Reddit API uses OAuth2. For script-type apps (personal use bots), PRAW handles authentication with four credentials plus a user agent string.
+
+```python
+import praw
+
+reddit = praw.Reddit(
+    client_id="YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
+    client_secret="YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
+    username="YOUR_USERNAME",
+    password="YOUR_PASSWORD",
+    user_agent="OpenFang:reddit-hand:v1.0 (by /u/YOUR_USERNAME)"
+)
+```
+
+**User agent format**: `<platform>:<app_id>:<version> (by /u/<username>)`
+A descriptive user agent is REQUIRED. Generic user agents get rate-limited aggressively.
+
+### Core Objects
+
+#### Redditor (User)
+```python
+me = reddit.user.me()
+me.name              # Username
+me.comment_karma     # Total comment karma
+me.link_karma        # Total link karma (from posts)
+me.created_utc       # Account creation timestamp
+me.is_gold           # Premium status
+
+# Iterate user's posts
+for submission in me.submissions.new(limit=10):
+    print(submission.title, submission.score)
+
+# Iterate user's comments
+for comment in me.comments.new(limit=10):
+    print(comment.body[:100], comment.score)
+```
+
+#### Subreddit
+```python
+sub = reddit.subreddit("python")
+sub.display_name      # "python"
+sub.subscribers       # Subscriber count
+sub.accounts_active   # Currently active users
+sub.public_description # Sidebar description
+sub.over18            # NSFW flag
+
+# Subreddit rules
+for rule in sub.rules:
+    print(f"{rule.short_name}: {rule.description}")
+
+# Listing methods — each returns a generator
+sub.hot(limit=25)       # Hot posts
+sub.new(limit=25)       # Newest posts
+sub.top(time_filter="week", limit=25)  # Top posts (hour/day/week/month/year/all)
+sub.rising(limit=25)    # Rising posts
+sub.controversial(time_filter="week", limit=25)
+
+# Search within subreddit
+sub.search("async python", sort="relevance", time_filter="month", limit=10)
+```
+
+#### Submission (Post)
+```python
+# Create a self-post (text)
+submission = sub.submit(
+    title="How to handle async context managers in Python 3.12",
+    selftext="## Introduction\n\nHere's a guide..."
+)
+
+# Create a link post
+submission = sub.submit(
+    title="Useful tool for Python profiling",
+    url="https://example.com/tool"
+)
+
+# Submission attributes
+submission.id              # Short ID (e.g., "abc123")
+submission.title           # Post title
+submission.selftext        # Body text (for self-posts)
+submission.url             # URL (for link posts)
+submission.score           # Net upvotes
+submission.upvote_ratio    # Float 0.0-1.0
+submission.num_comments    # Comment count
+submission.created_utc     # Post timestamp
+submission.author          # Redditor object
+submission.subreddit       # Subreddit object
+submission.permalink       # Relative permalink
+
+# Edit a post
+submission.edit("Updated body text")
+
+# Delete a post
+submission.delete()
+
+# Reply to a post (creates top-level comment)
+comment = submission.reply("Great discussion! Here's my take...")
+```
+
+#### Comment
+```python
+# Reply to a comment
+reply = comment.reply("Good point, I'd also add...")
+
+# Comment attributes
+comment.id             # Short ID
+comment.body           # Comment text (Markdown)
+comment.score          # Net upvotes

+comment.edit("Updated text with correction")
+
+# Delete a comment
+comment.delete()
+
+# Navigate comment tree
+submission.comments.replace_more(limit=0)  # Load all comments
+for top_level_comment in submission.comments:
+    print(top_level_comment.body[:100])
+    for reply in top_level_comment.replies:
+        print(f"  {reply.body[:100]}")
+```
+
+#### Inbox
+```python
+# Unread messages
+for item in reddit.inbox.unread(limit=25):
+    print(f"From: {item.author}, Body: {item.body[:100]}")
+    item.mark_read()
+
+# Comment replies specifically
+for comment in reddit.inbox.comment_replies(limit=25):
+    print(f"Reply on: {comment.submission.title}")
+    print(f"From: {comment.author}: {comment.body[:100]}")
+
+# Mentions
+for mention in reddit.inbox.mentions(limit=25):
+    print(f"Mentioned in: {mention.submission.title}")
+```
+
+### Rate Limits
+
+Reddit API enforces strict rate limits:
+
+| Limit | Value | Scope |
+|-------|-------|-------|
+| API requests | 60 per minute | Per OAuth client |
+| Post creation | ~1 per 10 minutes | Per account (new accounts stricter) |
+| Comment creation | ~1 per minute | Per account (varies by karma) |
+| Search queries | 30 per minute | Per OAuth client |
+
+PRAW handles rate limiting automatically via `sleep` when limits are approached. You can check remaining budget:
+
+```python
+print(f"Remaining: {reddit.auth.limits['remaining']}")
+print(f"Reset at: {reddit.auth.limits['reset_timestamp']}")
+```
+
+**New account restrictions**: Accounts with low karma face stricter rate limits (1 post per 10 min, 1 comment per 1-2 min). Build karma through comments before posting heavily.
+
+---
+
+## The 90/10 Engagement Rule
+
+The 90/10 rule is Reddit's unofficial guideline and a formal rule in many subreddits:
+
+**90% of your activity should be genuine community contribution. At most 10% can be self-promotional.**
+
+### What counts as the 90%:
+- Answering questions with detailed, expert responses
+- Participating in discussions with thoughtful comments
+- Sharing resources you did NOT create
+- Upvoting quality content
+- Providing constructive feedback on others' work
+- Starting discussions about industry topics
+- Writing how-to guides that help the community
+
+### What counts as the 10%:
+- Sharing your own blog posts, tools, or projects
+- Mentioning your company or product in context
+- Linking to your own content in a relevant answer
+
+### How to self-promote without getting banned:
+1. **Be a community member first** — comment and help for at least 2 weeks before any self-promotion
+2. **Add context** — don't just drop a link. Explain what it is, why you built it, what problem it solves
+3. **Be transparent** — say "I built this" or "disclosure: I work on this"
+4. **Accept feedback gracefully** — if people critique your project, thank them and iterate
+5. **Don't post the same link to multiple subreddits** — this triggers Reddit's cross-posting spam filter
+
+---
+
+## Subreddit Etiquette & Common Rules
+
+### Universal Rules (apply everywhere)
+- **Read the sidebar and rules** before posting — every subreddit is different
+- **Search before posting** — duplicate questions get downvoted and removed
+- **Use correct flair** — many subreddits require post flair
+- **No vote manipulation** — asking for upvotes is bannable site-wide
+- **Reddiquette** — the unofficial site-wide etiquette guide
+
+### Common Subreddit-Specific Rules
+| Rule Type | Examples | How to Handle |
+|-----------|----------|---------------|
+| No self-promotion | r/programming, r/technology | Only share others' content; comment with expertise |
+| Mandatory flair | r/python, r/javascript | Always set flair or post gets auto-removed |
+| Question format | r/askreddit, r/askscience | Follow exact title format |
+| No memes | r/machinelearning, r/datascience | Keep content serious and substantive |
+| Weekly threads | Many subreddits | Post beginner questions in designated threads |
+| Minimum karma | Some subreddits | Build karma elsewhere first |
+| Account age minimum | r/cryptocurrency, others | Cannot bypass — account must be old enough |
+
+### Posting Conventions by Subreddit Type
+- **Technical subreddits** (r/python, r/rust): Include code blocks, version info, error messages. Be precise.
+- **Discussion subreddits** (r/technology, r/startups): Lead with a clear thesis. Back up opinions with evidence.
+- **Help subreddits** (r/learnprogramming, r/techsupport): Be patient, never condescending. Explain the "why" not just the "how."
+- **News subreddits** (r/worldnews, r/science): Link to primary sources. Don't editorialize titles.
+
+---
+
+## Karma Optimization
+
+### How Reddit Karma Works
+- **Link karma**: Earned from upvotes on posts (submissions)
+- **Comment karma**: Earned from upvotes on comments
+- Karma is NOT 1:1 with upvotes — diminishing returns on high-scoring posts
+- Downvotes reduce karma (capped at -15 per comment for karma impact)
+- Karma is per-subreddit internally (affects rate limits in each subreddit)
+
+### High-Karma Content Strategies
+
+#### Timing
+| Day | Best Times (UTC) | Notes |
+|-----|-------------------|-------|
+| Monday | 13:00-15:00 | US morning, Europe afternoon |
+| Tuesday | 13:00-16:00 | Peak engagement day |
+| Wednesday | 14:00-16:00 | Mid-week, high activity |
+| Thursday | 13:00-15:00 | Similar to Tuesday |
+| Friday | 13:00-14:00 | Drops off in afternoon |
+| Saturday | 15:00-17:00 | Casual browsing peak |
+| Sunday | 14:00-16:00 | Pre-work-week catch-up |
+
+Posts made during US morning (13:00-16:00 UTC / 8AM-11AM EST) tend to perform best because they catch both US and European audiences.
+
+#### Content Types That Earn Karma
+1. **Detailed answers to specific questions** — the #1 karma builder. A thorough, well-formatted answer to a technical question can earn 50-500+ karma.
+2. **Original tutorials/guides** — "I spent 40 hours learning X, here's what I wish I knew" format consistently performs well.
+3. **Experience reports** — "I migrated our production system from X to Y, here's what happened" with real data.
+4. **Curated resource lists** — "Best free resources for learning X in 2025" with brief descriptions of each.
+5. **Contrarian but well-reasoned takes** — disagree with popular opinion BUT back it up with evidence and experience.
+
+#### Content Types That Get Downvoted
+1. **Self-promotion without value** — dropping a link to your product with no context
+2. **Vague or lazy questions** — "How do I learn programming?" without any research effort shown
+3. **Duplicate content** — posting something that was answered in the FAQ or last week
+4. **Condescending tone** — "just Google it" or "this is basic stuff"
+5. **Off-topic posts** — posting AI content in a subreddit about woodworking
+6. **Excessive emojis or informal language** in technical subreddits
+
+### Comment Strategy for Maximum Karma
+- **Be early** — the first few quality comments on a rising post get the most upvotes
+- **Be thorough** — detailed answers outperform one-liners by 10x
+- **Format well** — use headers, bullet points, code blocks. Wall-of-text comments get skipped.
+- **Add unique value** — if someone already gave a good answer, add a different perspective rather than repeating
+- **Reply to top comments** — replies to high-karma comments get more visibility
+- **Use the "Yes, and..." technique** — agree with someone, then extend their point with additional insight
+
+---
+
+## Rate Limiting & API Best Practices
+
+### Request Budget Management
+```python
+import time
+
+def safe_post(reddit, subreddit_name, title, body):
+    """Post with rate-limit awareness."""
+    remaining = reddit.auth.limits.get('remaining', 60)
+    if remaining < 5:
+        reset_time = reddit.auth.limits.get('reset_timestamp', time.time() + 60)
+        wait = max(0, reset_time - time.time()) + 1
+        print(f"Rate limit approaching. Waiting {wait:.0f}s...")
+        time.sleep(wait)
+
+    sub = reddit.subreddit(subreddit_name)
+    return sub.submit(title=title, selftext=body)
+```
+
+### Avoiding Spam Filters
+Reddit has multiple layers of spam detection:
+
+1. **Account-level rate limiting**: New and low-karma accounts face "you're doing that too much" errors. Solution: build karma through comments first.
+2. **Subreddit AutoModerator**: Many subreddits auto-remove posts from new accounts or accounts with low subreddit-specific karma. Solution: participate in comments before posting.
+3. **Site-wide spam filter**: Detects patterns like posting the same URL repeatedly, identical titles, or rapid-fire posting. Solution: vary content, space out posts by at least 10 minutes.
+4. **Shadowban detection**: If your posts never appear in /new, you may be shadowbanned. Check at reddit.com/r/ShadowBan.
+
+### Optimal Request Patterns
+- Space API calls at least 1 second apart (PRAW does this automatically)
+- Space posts to the same subreddit by at least 10 minutes
+- Space comments by at least 30 seconds
+- Do not exceed 30 posts per day across all subreddits
+- Do not exceed 100 comments per day across all subreddits
+- Check inbox no more than once per 5 minutes
+
+---
+
+## Content That Gets Upvoted vs Downvoted
+
+### The Upvote Formula
+A Reddit contribution earns upvotes when it satisfies this equation:
+
+**Upvotes = (Relevance x Effort x Timing) / Self-Interest**
+
+- **Relevance**: Does it directly address the subreddit's topic and the current conversation?
+- **Effort**: Did you clearly put thought into this? Is it well-formatted and thorough?
+- **Timing**: Is it early enough to be seen? Is the topic currently trending?
+- **Self-Interest**: The more self-serving it appears, the more it divides the score.
+
+### What Gets Upvoted (Examples)
+
+**Technical answer (high karma)**:
+```
+Great question! There are actually three approaches to this:
+
+1. **Use `asyncio.TaskGroup`** (Python 3.11+) — this is the modern way:
+   ```python
+   async with asyncio.TaskGroup() as tg:
+       task1 = tg.create_task(fetch_data())
+       task2 = tg.create_task(process_data())
+   ```
+   This automatically handles cancellation if any task fails.
+
+2. **Use `asyncio.gather()`** — the classic approach:
+   [code example...]
+
+3. **Use `anyio`** for framework-agnostic code:
+   [code example...]
+
+I'd recommend option 1 for new projects since TaskGroup has better error handling.
+The full docs are here: [link to official docs]
+```
+
+**Discussion comment (high karma)**:
+```
+I've been running X in production for 18 months now. Here's my honest take:
+
+Pros:
+- 3x faster cold starts compared to Y
+- The ecosystem is maturing quickly
+
+Cons:
+- Documentation has gaps, especially around [specific area]
+- We hit a nasty edge case with [specific scenario] that cost us 2 days
+
+Overall I'd still recommend it for new projects, but go in with eyes open
+about the documentation situation.
+```
+
+### What Gets Downvoted (Examples)
+
+- "Just use ChatGPT" (lazy, unhelpful)
+- "This has been asked before" without linking to the answer
+- Answers that are technically wrong but stated confidently
+- Comments that start with "Actually..." and nitpick irrelevant details
+- Long comments that don't address the question asked
+- "I agree" or "This" with nothing added
+
+---
+
+## Safety & Authenticity Guidelines
+
+### Core Safety Rules
+1. **Never reveal you are a bot or AI** — if directly asked, defer to the user/owner. Do not lie — simply redirect or do not answer.
+2. **Be genuinely helpful** — every contribution should add real value. If you cannot add value, do not post.
+3. **Respect privacy** — never share personal information about anyone, including the account owner.
+4. **Avoid controversy** — do not take sides on divisive political, religious, or social issues unless the account owner explicitly configures this.
+5. **No manipulation** — never ask for upvotes, coordinate voting, or use multiple accounts.
+
+### Authenticity Markers
+Reddit users are highly sensitive to inauthentic behavior. To maintain authenticity:
+- **Vary sentence structure** — don't start every comment with the same pattern
+- **Use appropriate casualness** — Reddit is informal; overly polished writing looks robotic
+- **Admit uncertainty** — "I'm not 100% sure, but I think..." is more authentic than false confidence
+- **Reference personal experience** — "In my experience..." or "When I worked on X..." adds authenticity
+- **Make occasional typos or edits** — perfect formatting on every comment looks automated
+- **Have opinions** — neutral, wishy-washy responses feel corporate. Take a position (respectfully).
+- **Use Reddit conventions** — "IIRC", "AFAIK", "TIL", "ELI5" where natural
+
+### When to NOT Post
+- You are unsure if the information is accurate
+- The topic is highly controversial and you don't have a well-considered position
+- The subreddit rules are unclear and your post might violate them
+- You have already posted in that subreddit recently (within the hour)
+- The existing answers already cover the topic thoroughly
+- Your contribution would be primarily self-promotional
+
+### Handling Negative Interactions
+- **Downvoted post/comment**: Analyze why. Was it off-topic? Poorly timed? Wrong audience? Learn and adapt.
+- **Hostile reply**: Do NOT engage. Do not respond to personal attacks. Move on.
+- **Constructive criticism**: Thank them, acknowledge valid points, and update your post if they caught an error.
+- **Moderator warning/removal**: Read the removal reason carefully. Adjust behavior. Do NOT argue with moderators.

+
+## Phase 0 — Platform Detection & State Recovery (ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST)
+
+Detect the operating system:
+```
+python3 -c "import platform; print(platform.system())"
+```
+
+Then recover state:
+1. memory_recall `strategist_hand_state` — if it exists, load previous strategy state (last run, active calendar, briefs generated)
+2. Read the **User Configuration** for strategy_focus, content_channels, brand_voice_description, target_audience, etc.
+3. file_read `strategist_editorial_calendar.md` if it exists — active editorial calendar
+4. file_read `strategist_content_briefs.json` if it exists — previously generated briefs
+5. knowledge_query for existing content strategy entities (pillars, audience segments, competitor profiles)
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Market Research & Trend Discovery
+
+Research the landscape for your target audience and channels:
+
+1. **Trending topic discovery**:
+   - web_search "[industry/niche] trending topics this week"
+   - web_search "[industry/niche] content marketing trends [year]"
+   - web_search "[target audience] pain points" and "[target audience] questions"
+2. **Competitive content analysis** (if `competitive_analysis` is enabled):
+   - web_search "[competitor] blog" and "[competitor] content strategy"
+   - web_fetch competitor blogs, newsletters, and social profiles
+   - Identify: posting frequency, content formats, top-performing topics, gaps they miss
+   - Store competitor profiles in knowledge graph via knowledge_add_entity
+3. **Content gap identification**:
+   - Cross-reference competitor topics with your existing content
+   - Identify underserved topics with high audience demand
+   - Note format gaps (e.g., competitors have guides but no video, no tools)
+4. Store all findings in knowledge graph with knowledge_add_entity and knowledge_add_relation
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Content Audit
+
+Analyze existing content performance based on `content_audit_depth`:
+
+**Surface audit**:
+- Catalog existing content by title, topic, format, and channel
+- Identify content pillars already in use
+- Flag duplicate or overlapping topics
+
+**Detailed audit** (adds):
+- Map each piece to a buyer journey stage (Awareness / Consideration / Decision / Retention)
+- Identify structural gaps (e.g., no Decision-stage content, no comparison posts)
+- Score each piece: relevance (still accurate?), completeness, alignment with strategy_focus
+
+**Comprehensive audit** (adds):
+- Score each piece on a 1-5 rubric: Relevance, Quality, SEO Readiness, CTA Strength, Channel Fit
+- Map content to specific audience segments
+- Identify repurposing opportunities (blog post to thread, guide to video script)
+- Produce a Content Health Score (average of all rubric scores)
+
+Save audit results to `strategist_content_audit.md`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Editorial Calendar Generation
+
+Build a structured editorial calendar based on `editorial_calendar_freq`:
+
+1. **Define content pillars** (3-5 recurring themes aligned with strategy_focus):
+   - brand_awareness: thought leadership, industry trends, brand story, how-tos
+   - lead_gen: pain-point content, case studies, comparisons, gated assets
+   - engagement: polls, questions, user-generated, behind-the-scenes
+   - thought_leadership: original research, contrarian takes, frameworks, deep dives
+
+2. **Assign themes per period**:
+   - Weekly: one pillar focus per week, rotating
+   - Biweekly: two pillars per sprint, alternating
+   - Monthly: monthly theme with weekly sub-themes
+
+3. **Build calendar as Markdown table**:
+```markdown
+# Editorial Calendar — [Start Date] to [End Date]
+
+| Date | Channel | Content Pillar | Topic | Format | Buyer Stage | Status |
+|------|---------|---------------|-------|--------|-------------|--------|
+| Mon  | Blog    | Thought Leadership | [topic] | Long-form guide | Awareness | Planned |
+| Tue  | Twitter | Engagement | [topic] | Thread | Awareness | Planned |
+| Wed  | LinkedIn | Lead Gen | [topic] | Case study | Consideration | Planned |
+| Thu  | Newsletter | Industry Trends | [topic] | Curated digest | Awareness | Planned |
+| Fri  | Blog | Pain Points | [topic] | How-to | Decision | Planned |
+```
+
+4. Balance the calendar:
+   - Mix content formats (long-form, short-form, visual, interactive)
+   - Cover all active channels from `content_channels`
+   - Distribute across buyer journey stages
+   - Maintain consistent posting cadence per channel
+
+5. Save to `strategist_editorial_calendar.md`
+6. Create schedule reminders via schedule_create for content production deadlines
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — Content Brief Generation
+
+For each planned content piece, generate a detailed brief:
+
+```markdown
+# Content Brief: [Title]
+
+**Content Pillar**: [pillar]
+**Channel**: [channel]
+**Format**: [blog post / thread / video script / newsletter / ...]
+**Target Audience**: [specific segment]
+**Buyer Journey Stage**: [Awareness / Consideration / Decision / Retention]
+
+## Objective
+[What this content should achieve — 1-2 sentences tied to strategy_focus]
+
+## Key Messages
+1. [Primary message]
+2. [Supporting message]
+3. [Supporting message]
+
+## SEO Keywords
+- Primary: [keyword] (search volume context if available)
+- Secondary: [keyword], [keyword]
+- Long-tail: [keyword phrase]
+
+## Outline
+1. Hook / Introduction — [approach]
+2. [Section] — [key points]
+3. [Section] — [key points]
+4. [Section] — [key points]
+5. CTA / Conclusion — [what reader should do next]
+
+## Specifications
+- **Word Count**: [range]
+- **Tone**: [per brand_voice_description]
+- **Visuals**: [suggested images, charts, or graphics]
+- **Internal Links**: [related content to link to]
+- **External Links**: [authoritative sources to reference]
+
+## Distribution
+- Primary: [main channel]
+- Repurpose: [channel] as [format], [channel] as [format]
+
+## Success Metrics
+- [Metric 1]: [target]
+- [Metric 2]: [target]
+```
+
+Save briefs to `strategist_content_briefs.json` (structured) and `strategist_briefs/[slug].md` (readable).
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5 — Performance Analysis & Optimization
+
+Track and analyze content performance through the knowledge graph:
+
+1. **Record performance data**:
+   - knowledge_add_entity for each published content piece with metrics (views, engagement, shares, conversions)
+   - knowledge_add_relation linking content to pillar, channel, audience segment
+
+2. **Identify patterns**:
+   - Which content pillars drive the most engagement?
+   - Which channels deliver the best ROI for each content type?
+   - Which buyer journey stage has the weakest content?
+   - What posting times and frequencies produce the best results?
+
+3. **Generate optimization recommendations**:
+   - Double down on high-performing pillars/formats
+   - Retire or rework underperforming content types
+   - Adjust editorial calendar weights based on data
+   - Suggest A/B test opportunities (headlines, formats, CTAs)
+
+4. Save analysis to `strategist_performance_report.md`
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6 — State Persistence
+
+1. memory_store `strategist_hand_state`: last_run, active_calendar_period, total_briefs, total_audits, content_gaps_found
+2. Save all generated files (calendar, briefs, audit, performance report)
+3. Update dashboard stats:
+   - memory_store `strategist_hand_calendars_created` — total calendars generated
+   - memory_store `strategist_hand_briefs_generated` — total content briefs produced
+   - memory_store `strategist_hand_audits_completed` — total content audits run
+   - memory_store `strategist_hand_content_gaps_found` — content gaps identified
+
+---
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- ALWAYS ground strategy in data — trends, competitor analysis, audience research — never invent claims
+- Tailor every recommendation to the configured target_audience and brand_voice_description
+- Quality over quantity — fewer excellent pieces beat many mediocre ones
+- Every content piece must have a clear purpose tied to strategy_focus
+- Maintain consistent brand voice across all channels and content types
+- When competitive_analysis is enabled, analyze competitors objectively — report facts, not opinions
+- Balance evergreen content (long-term value) with timely content (trend-driven)
+- If the user messages you directly, pause strategy work and respond to their question
+- Never generate content briefs for topics outside your expertise without research
+- Flag when the editorial calendar is becoming stale or when market conditions shift significantly

+# Content Strategy Expert Knowledge
+
+## Content Strategy Frameworks
+
+### Hero-Hub-Help Model (Google/YouTube)
+
+Structure content into three tiers based on effort, reach, and frequency:
+
+```
+HERO (1-2x per quarter)
+  Big, high-production pieces designed for broad reach.
+  Examples: original research reports, viral campaigns, keynote content, launch events.
+  Goal: mass awareness, brand moments, PR pickup.
+
+HUB (1-2x per week)
+  Recurring series or themed content your audience returns for.
+  Examples: weekly newsletter, podcast episodes, "Friday Tips" thread series.
+  Goal: build habit, grow subscribers, deepen engagement.
+
+HELP (daily / evergreen)
+  Search-driven, utility content answering real audience questions.
+  Examples: how-to guides, FAQs, tutorials, comparison pages, templates.
+  Goal: capture search traffic, solve problems, build trust.
+```
+
+**Calendar allocation**: ~10% Hero, ~30% Hub, ~60% Help (adjust by strategy_focus).
+
+### PESO Model (Paid, Earned, Shared, Owned)
+
+Map every content piece to a media type to ensure diversified distribution:
+
+| Media Type | Definition | Examples | Metrics |
+|-----------|-----------|----------|---------|
+| **Paid** | Content promoted with budget | Sponsored posts, PPC, paid social, native ads | CPA, ROAS, CTR |
+| **Earned** | Coverage from third parties | Press mentions, guest posts, backlinks, reviews | Domain authority, referral traffic |
+| **Shared** | Social distribution by others | Retweets, shares, UGC, community posts | Share count, virality coefficient |
+| **Owned** | Your controlled channels | Blog, newsletter, website, app | Traffic, subscribers, time on page |
+
+**Strategy rule**: Every content piece should have a primary PESO channel and at least one secondary.
+
+### Content Pillars Framework
+
+Define 3-5 recurring themes that anchor all content production:
+
+```
+Step 1: Identify brand expertise areas (what you know deeply)
+Step 2: Map to audience pain points (what they need)
+Step 3: Intersection = Content Pillars
+
+Example for a B2B SaaS company:
+  Pillar 1: Product education (how-tos, tutorials, feature deep dives)
+  Pillar 2: Industry trends (market analysis, predictions, data)
+  Pillar 3: Customer success (case studies, ROI stories, testimonials)
+  Pillar 4: Thought leadership (founder POV, contrarian takes, frameworks)
+  Pillar 5: Culture & team (hiring, values, behind-the-scenes)
+```
+
+**Rule**: Every planned content piece must map to exactly one pillar. If it does not fit, it is off-strategy.
+

+
+For each existing content piece, capture:
+```
+- URL / location

+- Publish date
+- Last updated date
+- Content pillar (mapped)
+- Format (blog, video, etc.)
+- Channel (where it lives)
+- Word count / length
+- Buyer journey stage
+- Primary keyword

+```
+
+### Scoring Rubric (1-5 scale)
+
+| Criterion | 1 (Poor) | 3 (Adequate) | 5 (Excellent) |
+|----------|----------|--------------|---------------|
+| **Relevance** | Outdated or off-topic | Mostly current, minor gaps | Fully current, directly on-topic |
+| **Quality** | Thin, no depth, errors | Solid but generic | Original insights, well-researched |
+| **SEO Readiness** | No keywords, poor structure | Keywords present, basic structure | Optimized headings, meta, internal links |
+| **CTA Strength** | No CTA or irrelevant CTA | Generic CTA present | Compelling, stage-appropriate CTA |
+| **Channel Fit** | Wrong format for channel | Acceptable but not optimized | Native to channel, follows best practices |
+
+**Content Health Score** = Average of all five criteria (1.0 - 5.0).
+
+### Audit Actions by Score
+
+```
+4.0 - 5.0  KEEP     — High-performing, maintain and promote
+3.0 - 3.9  UPDATE   — Refresh data, improve SEO, strengthen CTA
+2.0 - 2.9  REWRITE  — Salvageable topic, needs major revision
+1.0 - 1.9  RETIRE   — Remove or consolidate into better content
+```
+
+---
+
+## Competitive Content Analysis Framework
+
+### Data Collection Matrix
+
+For each competitor, capture:
+
+```
+Competitor: [name]
+Website: [url]
+Active Channels: [blog, twitter, linkedin, youtube, podcast, newsletter]
+
+Content Inventory:
+  Blog frequency: [posts/week]
+  Newsletter frequency: [sends/week]
+  Social frequency: [posts/day per channel]
+  Content formats: [list formats used]
+
+Top-Performing Content:
+  1. [title] — [why it works: shareability, SEO rank, engagement]
+  2. [title] — [why it works]
+  3. [title] — [why it works]
+
+Content Pillars:
+  1. [pillar] — [% of their content]
+  2. [pillar] — [% of their content]
+
+Strengths: [what they do well]
+Weaknesses: [gaps, missed topics, poor formats]
+Opportunities: [topics we can own that they ignore]
+```
+
+### Competitive Gap Analysis
+
+```
+| Topic / Keyword | Us | Competitor A | Competitor B | Opportunity |
+|----------------|-----|-------------|-------------|-------------|
+| [topic 1] | No content | Strong guide | Weak post | HIGH — create definitive guide |
+| [topic 2] | Blog post | No content | Thread | MED — expand and own |
+| [topic 3] | Strong guide | Strong guide | Strong guide | LOW — saturated |
+```
+
+---
+
+## Content Gap Analysis Techniques
+
+### Buyer Journey Gap Analysis
+
+Map existing content to each stage and identify holes:
+
+```
+AWARENESS (top of funnel)
+  What we have: [list]
+  What's missing: [list]
+  Priority gaps: [list]
+
+CONSIDERATION (middle of funnel)
+  What we have: [list]
+  What's missing: [list]
+  Priority gaps: [list]
+
+DECISION (bottom of funnel)
+  What we have: [list]
+  What's missing: [list]
+  Priority gaps: [list]
+
+RETENTION (post-purchase)
+  What we have: [list]
+  What's missing: [list]
+  Priority gaps: [list]
+```
+
+### Format Gap Analysis
+
+Check coverage across content formats:
+
+```
+| Format | Have? | Count | Quality | Priority to Add |
+|--------|-------|-------|---------|-----------------|
+| Long-form blog | Yes | 12 | Good | Maintain |
+| How-to guides | Yes | 3 | Fair | Expand |
+| Case studies | No | 0 | N/A | HIGH |
+| Video | No | 0 | N/A | Medium |
+| Infographics | No | 0 | N/A | Low |
+| Podcast | No | 0 | N/A | Low |
+| Templates/Tools | No | 0 | N/A | HIGH |
+| Comparison pages | Yes | 1 | Poor | Rewrite |
+```
+
+### Keyword Gap Analysis
+
+Identify keywords competitors rank for that you do not:
+1. List competitor top-ranking keywords (from web research)
+2. Cross-reference with your existing content keywords
+3. Prioritize by: search volume, difficulty, buyer intent, strategic fit
+
+---
+
+## Brand Voice Development Guide
+
+### Voice Attributes Framework
+
+Define brand voice with four attribute pairs (spectrum):
+
+```
+Formal ←————————→ Casual
+  Where do you sit? [1-10 scale]
+
+Serious ←————————→ Playful
+  Where do you sit? [1-10 scale]
+
+Authoritative ←————————→ Approachable
+  Where do you sit? [1-10 scale]
+
+Technical ←————————→ Simple
+  Where do you sit? [1-10 scale]
+```
+
+### Voice Documentation Template
+
+```
+BRAND VOICE: [one-line summary, e.g., "Confident expert who explains complex topics simply"]
+
+WE ARE:
+- [trait 1] — example: "Direct — we get to the point without filler"
+- [trait 2] — example: "Evidence-based — we cite sources and use data"
+- [trait 3] — example: "Accessible — no jargon without explanation"
+
+WE ARE NOT:
+- [anti-trait 1] — example: "Not salesy — we educate, not pitch"
+- [anti-trait 2] — example: "Not condescending — we respect the reader's intelligence"
+- [anti-trait 3] — example: "Not generic — every piece has a distinct point of view"
+
+VOCABULARY:
+  Preferred terms: [list words you use]
+  Avoided terms: [list words you never use]
+
+EXAMPLE SENTENCES:
+  On-brand: "[example sentence in your voice]"
+  Off-brand: "[same idea written in a way you would reject]"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Multi-Channel Content Repurposing Strategies
+
+### Repurposing Matrix
+
+From one pillar piece, derive content for every active channel:
+
+```
+SOURCE: Long-form blog post (1500+ words)
+
+  → Twitter: 5-tweet thread summarizing key points
+  → LinkedIn: 300-word professional insight post
+  → Newsletter: Curated excerpt + link + commentary
+  → YouTube/Video: 3-5 min explainer script
+  → Podcast: Talking points for discussion episode
+  → Instagram: Quote card + carousel of key stats
+  → SlideShare: 10-slide visual summary
+  → Reddit/Community: Discussion post with key finding
+```
+
+### Repurposing Rules
+
+1. **Adapt, do not copy** — each channel has native conventions; rewrite for the platform
+2. **Lead with the strongest insight** — different channels reward different hooks
+3. **Stagger releases** — do not publish everywhere simultaneously; create a 3-5 day drip
+4. **Link back** — repurposed content should drive traffic to the original owned asset
+5. **Track per channel** — measure performance of each repurposed piece independently
+
+---
+
+## Content Performance KPIs by Channel
+
+### Blog / Website
+
+| KPI | Definition | Benchmark Range |
+|-----|-----------|----------------|
+| Organic traffic | Sessions from search engines | Track month-over-month growth |
+| Time on page | Average reading duration | 2-4 min for 1000-word posts |
+| Bounce rate | Single-page sessions | 40-60% is typical for blog |
+| Scroll depth | % of page viewed | 50%+ for engaged readers |
+| Conversion rate | CTA clicks / page views | 1-3% for blog CTAs |
+| Backlinks earned | External sites linking to piece | 5+ for pillar content |
+
+### Email / Newsletter
+
+| KPI | Definition | Benchmark Range |
+|-----|-----------|----------------|
+| Open rate | Opens / delivered | 20-30% (varies by industry) |
+| Click rate | Clicks / delivered | 2-5% |
+| Unsubscribe rate | Unsubs / delivered | < 0.5% per send |
+| List growth rate | Net new subscribers / month | 2-5% monthly |
+| Forward rate | Forwards / delivered | 0.5-1% |
+
+### Social Media (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.)
+
+| KPI | Definition | Benchmark Range |
+|-----|-----------|----------------|
+| Engagement rate | (likes + replies + shares) / impressions | 1-3% organic |
+| Follower growth | Net new followers / month | Track trend, not absolute |
+| Click-through rate | Link clicks / impressions | 0.5-2% |
+| Share rate | Shares / impressions | 0.1-0.5% |
+| Reply rate | Replies / impressions | Higher = better engagement |
+
+### Content ROI Formula
+
+```
+Content ROI = (Revenue attributed to content - Content production cost) / Content production cost x 100
+
+For non-revenue goals, use proxy metrics:
+  Brand Awareness ROI = (Impressions x Estimated CPM value) / Production cost
+  Lead Gen ROI = (Leads generated x Average lead value) / Production cost
+  Engagement ROI = (Engaged users x Estimated engagement value) / Production cost

From 3eb69c575360ed5c7ad0ec473b6006f4cc2ce62f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 30/42] Add CronAction::Workflow to enable cron-triggered
 multi-agent pipelines
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Cron jobs could only trigger single agents (AgentTurn) or events (SystemEvent).
This adds a Workflow variant that triggers full multi-step workflow pipelines,
enabling chained agent execution (e.g., researcher → twitter for daily tweets).

Also adds LinkedIn OAuth2 helper script for obtaining access tokens.

Subject: [PATCH 31/42] Expose workflow execution errors in API responses

Previously the /api/workflows/:id/run endpoint returned a generic
"Workflow execution failed" message. Now includes the actual error
chain so callers can diagnose failures (e.g. LLM proxy unavailable).
Also adds the error field to workflow run listings.

Subject: [PATCH 33/42] Update CLAUDE.md and add implementation plan docs

Modernize CLAUDE.md with current project stats (1,767+ tests, macOS paths),
cleaner architecture notes, and streamlined live testing instructions. Add
plan docs for goals feature and UI overhaul.

-# OpenFang — Agent Instructions
+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
 
 ## Project Overview
-OpenFang is an open-source Agent Operating System written in Rust (14 crates).
-- Config: `~/.openfang/config.toml`
+OpenFang is an open-source Agent Operating System written in Rust — 14 crates, 137K+ LOC.
+- Config: `~/.openfang/config.toml` (supports `include` for file composition)
 - Default API: `http://127.0.0.1:4200`
-- CLI binary: `target/release/openfang.exe` (or `target/debug/openfang.exe`)
+- CLI binary: `target/release/openfang` (or `target/debug/openfang`)
+- Agent manifests: TOML files in `agents/<name>/agent.toml`
 
-## Build & Verify Workflow
-After every feature implementation, run ALL THREE checks:
+## Build & Verify Commands
+After every change, run all three:
 ```bash
-cargo build --workspace --lib          # Must compile (use --lib if exe is locked)
-cargo test --workspace                 # All tests must pass (currently 1744+)
+cargo build --workspace --lib          # Must compile (use --lib if exe is locked by running daemon)
+cargo test --workspace                 # All tests must pass (1,767+)
 cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings  # Zero warnings
 ```
 
-## MANDATORY: Live Integration Testing
-**After implementing any new endpoint, feature, or wiring change, you MUST run live integration tests.** Unit tests alone are not enough — they can pass while the feature is actually dead code. Live tests catch:
-- Missing route registrations in server.rs
-- Config fields not being deserialized from TOML
-- Type mismatches between kernel and API layers
-- Endpoints that compile but return wrong/empty data
-
-### How to Run Live Integration Tests
-
-#### Step 1: Stop any running daemon
+Run a single test:
 ```bash
-tasklist | grep -i openfang
-taskkill //PID <pid> //F
-# Wait 2-3 seconds for port to release
-sleep 3
+cargo test -p openfang-runtime test_name        # Single test in a crate
+cargo test -p openfang-kernel --test integration_test  # Single integration test file
 ```
 
-#### Step 2: Build fresh release binary
+Format check:
 ```bash
-cargo build --release -p openfang-cli
+cargo fmt --all -- --check
 ```
 
-#### Step 3: Start daemon with required API keys
-```bash
-GROQ_API_KEY=<key> target/release/openfang.exe start &
-sleep 6  # Wait for full boot
-curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4200/api/health  # Verify it's up
+## Architecture
+
+### Crate Dependency Flow
+```
+openfang-types        Shared types, config structs, taint tracking, Ed25519 signing
+       |
+openfang-memory       SQLite persistence, vector embeddings, session management
+       |
+openfang-runtime      Agent loop, LLM drivers, 53 tools, WASM sandbox, MCP, A2A
+       |
+openfang-kernel       Orchestration: registry, scheduler, cron, workflows, metering, approval
+       |

+       |
+openfang-cli          CLI binary, daemon management, TUI, MCP server mode
 ```
-The daemon command is `start` (not `daemon`).
 
-#### Step 4: Test every new endpoint
-```bash
-# GET endpoints — verify they return real data, not empty/null
-curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4200/api/<new-endpoint>
+Parallel crates (depend on types/runtime but not each other):
+- `openfang-channels` — 40 messaging adapters (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, etc.)
+- `openfang-skills` — 60 bundled skills, SKILL.md parser, FangHub marketplace
+- `openfang-hands` — 7 autonomous Hands, HAND.toml parser, lifecycle management
+- `openfang-extensions` — MCP templates, AES-256-GCM vault, OAuth2 PKCE
+- `openfang-wire` — OFP P2P protocol with HMAC-SHA256 mutual auth
+- `openfang-desktop` — Tauri 2.0 native app
+- `openfang-migrate` — Migration engine for OpenClaw/LangChain/AutoGPT
 
-# POST/PUT endpoints — send real payloads
-curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:4200/api/<endpoint> \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{"field": "value"}'
+### Key Architectural Patterns
 
-# Verify write endpoints persist — read back after writing
-curl -s -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:4200/api/<endpoint> -d '...'
-curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4200/api/<endpoint>  # Should reflect the update
-```
+**KernelHandle trait** (`runtime/src/kernel_handle.rs`): Breaks the circular dependency between runtime and kernel. The runtime defines the trait; the kernel implements it. The agent loop receives a `&dyn KernelHandle` to call back into the kernel for inter-agent operations (spawn, send, kill, memory).
+
+**AppState** (`api/src/routes.rs`): Bridges kernel to API routes. Holds `Arc<OpenFangKernel>`, peer registry, channel bridge manager, rate limiter.
+
+**LLM Drivers** (`runtime/src/drivers/`): 5 native drivers — `anthropic.rs`, `openai.rs` (covers 20+ OpenAI-compatible providers), `gemini.rs`, `copilot.rs`, `claude_code.rs`. All implement the `LlmDriver` trait. The `fallback.rs` driver chains multiple providers.
+
+**Agent Loop** (`runtime/src/agent_loop.rs`): Core execution cycle — receive message, recall memories, call LLM, execute tool calls, save conversation. Max 50 iterations per turn, exponential backoff on rate limits.
+
+**Config System** (`types/src/config.rs` for types, `kernel/src/config.rs` for loading): TOML-based with deep-merge includes. All fields use `#[serde(default)]`.
+
+### Adding New Features — Wiring Checklist
+
+**New API route:**
+1. Add handler function in `api/src/routes.rs`
+2. Register route in `api/src/server.rs` router
+3. Add types in `api/src/types.rs` if needed
+
+**New config field:**
+1. Add field to struct in `types/src/config.rs` with `#[serde(default)]`
+2. Add to the `Default` impl for that struct (build fails otherwise)
+3. Field must have Serialize + Deserialize derives
+
+**New tool:**
+1. Implement in `runtime/src/tool_runner.rs`
+2. Add `ToolDefinition` to `builtin_tool_definitions()`
+3. Reference by name in agent manifest `[capabilities] tools = [...]`
+
+**New dashboard tab:**
+- Dashboard is Alpine.js SPA in `static/index_body.html` — add both HTML template and JS data/methods
+
+## Common Gotchas
+- `openfang` binary may be locked if daemon is running — use `--lib` flag or kill daemon first
+- `PeerRegistry` is `Option<PeerRegistry>` on kernel but `Option<Arc<PeerRegistry>>` on `AppState` — wrap with `.as_ref().map(|r| Arc::new(r.clone()))`
+- Config fields added to a config struct MUST also be added to its `Default` impl
+- `AgentLoopResult` field is `.response` not `.response_text`
+- CLI command to start daemon is `start` not `daemon`
+- TOML enum values must be lowercase (`"allowlist"` not `"Allowlist"`)
+- Agent `system_prompt` goes inside `[model]` section of TOML manifest, NOT at top level
+- Don't touch `openfang-cli` — user is actively building the interactive CLI
+
+## MANDATORY: Live Integration Testing
+After implementing any new endpoint, feature, or wiring change, run live integration tests. Unit tests alone can pass while the feature is dead code.
 
-#### Step 5: Test real LLM integration
+### Quick Test Procedure
 ```bash
-# Get an agent ID
-curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4200/api/agents | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)[0]['id'])"
+# 1. Kill any running daemon
+pkill -f openfang || true
+sleep 3
+
+# 2. Build and start
+cargo build --release -p openfang-cli
+GROQ_API_KEY=<key> target/release/openfang start &
+sleep 6
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4200/api/health
 
-# Send a real message (triggers actual LLM call to Groq/OpenAI)
+# 3. Test endpoints (GET returns real data, POST persists correctly)
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4200/api/agents
 curl -s -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:4200/api/agents/<id>/message" \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -d '{"message": "Say hello in 5 words."}'
-```
-
-#### Step 6: Verify side effects
-After an LLM call, verify that any metering/cost/usage tracking updated:
-```bash
-curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4200/api/budget       # Cost should have increased
-curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4200/api/budget/agents  # Per-agent spend should show
-```
 
-#### Step 7: Verify dashboard HTML
-```bash
-# Check that new UI components exist in the served HTML
-curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4200/ | grep -c "newComponentName"
-# Should return > 0
-```
+# 4. Verify side effects (budget tracking, etc.)
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4200/api/budget
 
-#### Step 8: Cleanup
-```bash
-tasklist | grep -i openfang
-taskkill //PID <pid> //F
+# 5. Cleanup
+pkill -f openfang || true
 ```

-- **Don't touch `openfang-cli`** — user is actively building the interactive CLI
-- `KernelHandle` trait avoids circular deps between runtime and kernel
-- `AppState` in `server.rs` bridges kernel to API routes
-- New routes must be registered in `server.rs` router AND implemented in `routes.rs`
-- Dashboard is Alpine.js SPA in `static/index_body.html` — new tabs need both HTML and JS data/methods
-- Config fields need: struct field + `#[serde(default)]` + Default impl entry + Serialize/Deserialize derives

-- `PeerRegistry` is `Option<PeerRegistry>` on kernel but `Option<Arc<PeerRegistry>>` on `AppState` — wrap with `.as_ref().map(|r| Arc::new(r.clone()))`
-- Config fields added to `KernelConfig` struct MUST also be added to the `Default` impl or build fails
-- `AgentLoopResult` field is `.response` not `.response_text`
-- CLI command to start daemon is `start` not `daemon`

+# Goals Feature Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Add a hierarchical Goals system with a dedicated dashboard tab, SQLite persistence, and full CRUD API — inspired by Paperclip's goal alignment model.
+
+**Architecture:** API-only with direct SQLite storage via MemorySubstrate's shared connection. No kernel subsystem — goals are stored in a new `goals` table and served via 5 REST endpoints. The dashboard gets a new "Goals" page with 3 tabs: Tree view, Board (kanban), and Timeline.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Rust (axum routes, rusqlite), Alpine.js (dashboard UI), SQLite (persistence)
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Add Goals SQLite Migration
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/openfang-memory/src/migration.rs`
+
+**Step 1: Add migrate_v8 function and bump schema version**
+
+In `migration.rs`, change `SCHEMA_VERSION` from 7 to 8, add the `migrate_v8` call in `run_migrations`, and add the migration function:
+
+```rust
+// At top: change
+const SCHEMA_VERSION: u32 = 8;
+
+// In run_migrations, after the v7 block add:
+    if current_version < 8 {
+        migrate_v8(conn)?;
+    }
+
+// New function after migrate_v7:
+fn migrate_v8(conn: &Connection) -> Result<(), rusqlite::Error> {
+    conn.execute_batch(
+        "
+        CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS goals (
+            id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
+            title TEXT NOT NULL,
+            description TEXT,
+            level TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'task',
+            status TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'planned',
+            parent_id TEXT,
+            owner_agent_id TEXT,
+            progress INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
+            created_at TEXT NOT NULL,
+            updated_at TEXT NOT NULL,
+            FOREIGN KEY (parent_id) REFERENCES goals(id) ON DELETE SET NULL
+        );
+
+        CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_goals_parent ON goals(parent_id);
+        CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_goals_status ON goals(status);
+        CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_goals_level ON goals(level);
+
+        INSERT OR IGNORE INTO migrations (version, applied_at, description)
+        VALUES (8, datetime('now'), 'Add goals table for hierarchical goal tracking');
+        ",
+    )?;
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run tests to verify migration**
+
+Run: `cargo test -p openfang-memory test_migration_creates_tables -v`
+Expected: PASS (existing test still works, new table created)
+
+**Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/openfang-memory/src/migration.rs
+git commit -m "feat: add goals table migration (v8)"
+```
+

+
+### Task 2: Add GoalStore in openfang-memory
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `crates/openfang-memory/src/goals.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/openfang-memory/src/lib.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/openfang-memory/src/substrate.rs`

+
+**Step 2: Register module in lib.rs**
+
+Add `pub mod goals;` to `crates/openfang-memory/src/lib.rs`.
+
+**Step 3: Add GoalStore to MemorySubstrate**
+
+In `crates/openfang-memory/src/substrate.rs`:
+- Add `use crate::goals::GoalStore;` at the top
+- Add `goals: GoalStore,` field to `MemorySubstrate` struct
+- Initialize it in both `open()` and `open_in_memory()`: `goals: GoalStore::new(Arc::clone(&shared)),`
+- Add accessor:
+```rust
+    /// Get a reference to the goal store.
+    pub fn goals(&self) -> &GoalStore {
+        &self.goals
+    }
+```
+
+**Step 4: Run tests**
+
+Run: `cargo test -p openfang-memory -- -v`
+Expected: All existing tests PASS + 4 new goal tests PASS
+
+**Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/openfang-memory/src/goals.rs crates/openfang-memory/src/lib.rs crates/openfang-memory/src/substrate.rs
+git commit -m "feat: add GoalStore with CRUD and hierarchy support"

+### Task 3: Add Goals API Routes
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/openfang-api/src/routes.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/openfang-api/src/server.rs`
+
+**Step 1: Add 5 route handlers in `routes.rs`**
+
+Add these at the end of the file (before the final `#[cfg(test)]` block if any, or at the very end):
+

+```
+
+**Step 2: Register routes in `server.rs`**
+
+In `crates/openfang-api/src/server.rs`, after the hands routes block (around line 399), add:
+
+```rust
+        // Goals endpoints
+        .route("/api/goals", axum::routing::get(routes::list_goals).post(routes::create_goal))
+        .route(

+                .delete(routes::delete_goal),
+        )
+```
+
+**Step 3: Build and verify**
+
+Run: `cargo build --workspace --lib`
+Expected: Compiles with zero errors
+
+Run: `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`
+Expected: Zero warnings
+
+**Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash

+### Task 5: Add Goals HTML Template and Wire Navigation
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/openfang-api/static/index_body.html`
+- Modify: `crates/openfang-api/static/js/app.js`
+- Modify: `crates/openfang-api/src/webchat.rs`
+
+**Step 1: Add nav item in `index_body.html`**
+
+In the "Automation" nav section (around line 108-125), add a Goals nav item after the Scheduler link. Find the closing `</div>` of the Scheduler link and add before `</div></template></div>`:
+
+After line 122 (the `</a>` closing the Scheduler nav item), insert:
+
+```html
+            <a class="nav-item" :class="{ active: page === 'goals' }" @click="navigate('goals')" :aria-current="page === 'goals' ? 'page' : false">
+              <span class="nav-icon"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10"/><path d="m9 12 2 2 4-4"/></svg></span>
+              <span class="nav-label">Goals</span>
+            </a>
+```
+
+**Step 2: Add page template in `index_body.html`**
+
+Find the line `<!-- Page: Channels -->` (line ~1785) and insert the Goals page template BEFORE it:
+
+```html
+    <!-- Page: Goals -->
+    <template x-if="page === 'goals'">
+      <div x-data="goalsPage()">
+        <div class="page-header">

+```
+
+**Step 3: Register 'goals' in valid pages in `app.js`**
+
+In `crates/openfang-api/static/js/app.js` line 221, add `'goals'` to the `validPages` array:
+
+Change:
+```javascript
+var validPages = ['overview','agents','sessions','approvals','comms','workflows','scheduler','channels','skills','hands','analytics','logs','runtime','settings','wizard'];
+```
+To:
+```javascript
+var validPages = ['overview','agents','sessions','approvals','comms','workflows','scheduler','goals','channels','skills','hands','analytics','logs','runtime','settings','wizard'];
+```
+
+**Step 4: Add goals.js include in `webchat.rs`**
+
+In `crates/openfang-api/src/webchat.rs`, after the `hands.js` include (line 111-112), add:
+
+```rust
+    "\n",
+    include_str!("../static/js/pages/goals.js"),
+```
+
+**Step 5: Build and verify**
+
+Run: `cargo build --workspace --lib`
+Expected: Compiles
+
+Run: `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`
+Expected: Zero warnings
+
+**Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/openfang-api/static/index_body.html crates/openfang-api/static/js/app.js crates/openfang-api/src/webchat.rs crates/openfang-api/static/js/pages/goals.js
+git commit -m "feat: add Goals dashboard page with tree, board, and timeline views"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 6: Run Full Test Suite and Clippy
+
+**Step 1: Run full workspace tests**
+
+Run: `cargo test --workspace`
+Expected: All 1767+ tests PASS
+
+**Step 2: Run clippy**
+
+Run: `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`
+Expected: Zero warnings
+
+**Step 3: Fix any issues found**
+
+If there are compilation errors or test failures, fix them before proceeding.
+
+**Step 4: Final commit if any fixes were needed**
+
+```bash
+git add -A
+git commit -m "fix: resolve any issues from full test suite"
+```

+# OpenFang Dashboard UI Overhaul — "Apple Intelligence" Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-05
+**Style:** Apple Intelligence / Liquid Glass inspired
+**Scope:** Full UI overhaul — CSS rewrite + HTML restructure + new navigation paradigm
+**Stack:** Alpine.js + vanilla CSS (no framework change, no build step)
+
+---
+
+## 1. Visual Foundation
+
+### Material Hierarchy (3 levels)
+
+| Level | Use | Blur | Opacity (light / dark) |
+|-------|-----|------|----------------------|
+| Surface | Cards, tables, data regions | 12px | 0.82 / 0.75 |
+| Chrome | Nav dock, page headers | 24px | 0.70 / 0.60 |
+| Overlay | Modals, command palette, peek panels | 40px | 0.65 / 0.55 |
+
+Data regions get an additional scrim layer for legibility — slightly more opaque base behind tables/charts.
+
+### Edge Highlights (not flat borders)
+
+```css
+border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.08);
+border-top: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.18);
+box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.06);
+```
+
+CSS noise texture overlay (noise.svg at 3-4% opacity) on glass panels to prevent gradient banding.
+
+### Ambient Mesh Gradient
+
+- 3 blobs: muted orange, warm peach, soft lavender
+- Isolated `::before` pseudo-element on body, `position: fixed`
+- Animated via `transform: translate3d()` only (GPU-composited, no repaints)
+- 90s drift cycle
+- `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)` -> static gradient
+- Dark mode: same blobs at 30% brightness
+
+### Border Radius Scale
+
+| Element | Radius |
+|---------|--------|
+| Cards, panels | 20px |
+| Buttons, inputs | 12px |
+| Badges | 10px |
+| Small pills | 999px (full pill) |
+
+### Typography Tokens
+
+Font stack: Inter (body) + Geist Mono (code/data)
+
+| Token | Size | Weight | Use |
+|-------|------|--------|-----|
+| --type-metric | 28px | 700 | Big stat numbers |
+| --type-heading | 18px | 600 | Page/section titles |
+| --type-body | 15px | 400 | Default text |
+| --type-label | 12px | 500 | Form labels, nav items (sentence case) |
+| --type-caption | 11px | 400 | Muted metadata |
+
+All numeric elements: `font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums` to prevent metric jitter.
+No `text-transform: uppercase` — sentence case throughout.
+
+### Motion
+
+- Spring easing: `cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1)` for interactions
+- Smooth easing: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` for transitions
+- Page transitions: `opacity + scale(0.98)` fade-in, 250ms
+- Card stagger: 30ms delay per card
+- `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)` honored everywhere
+
+---
+
+## 2. Theme Tokens
+
+### Light Mode
+```
+--glass-bg:      rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.72)
+--glass-chrome:  rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.58)

+--glass-border:  rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.18)
+--glass-edge:    rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.25)
+--mesh-1:        #FFD6B0 (peach)
+--mesh-2:        #FFECD2 (cream)
+--mesh-3:        #E8D5F5 (lavender)
+```
+
+### Dark Mode
+```

+--mesh-2:        #2A1800 (deep amber)
+--mesh-3:        #1A1030 (deep violet)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Layout — Floating Dock Navigation
+
+Replace sidebar with a floating bottom dock (macOS Dock style):
+
+- Horizontally centered at viewport bottom, `position: fixed`
+- Glass Chrome material, `border-radius: 24px`, `padding: 6px`
+- 5 primary icons: Chat, Overview, Agents, Workflows, Scheduler
+- Icons 24px with tooltip-style label slide-up on hover
+- Active item: glow ring + filled icon variant
+- "More" icon (grid dots) at end -> opens command palette
+
+### Command Palette
+
+- `Ctrl+K` or click "More" in dock
+- Glass Overlay material, centered, `max-width: 520px`
+- Fuzzy search across all pages + actions
+- Recent pages shown by default
+- Keyboard navigable (arrow keys + Enter)
+
+### Page Header
+
+- Slim floating bar at top, Glass Chrome material
+- `border-radius: 16px`, `margin: 12px 16px 0`
+- Page title left, contextual actions right
+- No full-width border — floats above content
+
+### Content Area
+
+- Full viewport behind mesh gradient
+- Pages as centered glass panels, `max-width: 1200px`
+- Cards use Surface material
+- `padding: 24px 32px` desktop, responsive down
+
+### Navigation Hierarchy
+
+**Primary (dock):** Chat, Overview, Agents, Workflows, Scheduler
+
+**Secondary (command palette):** Sessions, Approvals, Comms, Logs, Channels, Skills, Hands, Runtime, Settings, Analytics
+
+---
+
+## 4. Chat Page — Centered Conversation
+
+- Single centered column, `max-width: 720px`
+- Agent messages: Glass Surface, left-aligned, `border-radius: 20px 20px 20px 8px`
+- User messages: Accent-tinted glass (orange 10%), right-aligned, `border-radius: 20px 20px 8px 20px`
+- Avatar: 32px circle with agent icon, status glow ring
+- Typing indicator: 3 dots with staggered bounce
+- Agent selector: horizontal pill bar at top, active = filled pill with glow
+- Input: fixed bottom, Glass Chrome, `border-radius: 20px`, auto-growing textarea
+- Send button: circular accent, slides in when text present
+- Empty state: centered greeting + suggested action chips
+
+---
+
+## 5. Agents Page
+
+- Grid of agent cards, `max-width: 1200px`, centered
+- Cards (Glass Surface, `border-radius: 20px`):
+  - Avatar + name + status badge (pill)
+  - Model label (caption, muted)
+  - Last active + quick actions (Chat, Pause, Config as ghost pills)
+  - Hover: lift 4px, border brightens, status glow
+- Detail: right-side peek panel (Glass Overlay, 420px wide)
+  - Config, recent sessions, cost sparkline, hands, skills
+
+---
+
+## 6. Overview Page
+
+- 4 metric cards (Glass Surface, `border-radius: 20px`)
+  - Big number (tabular-nums) + label + sparkline/trend arrow
+  - Active agents, Total spend, Messages today, Uptime
+- 2-column grid below:
+  - Agent status list (compact rows, status dots)
+  - Recent activity feed (timeline)
+
+---
+
+## 7. Secondary Pages
+
+All follow: centered glass panel, `max-width: 1100px`, Surface material with scrim for tables.
+
+| Page | Treatment |
+|------|-----------|
+| Sessions | Glass table rows, expandable message history |
+| Approvals | Card list, Approve/Deny pill buttons, pending glow |
+| Comms | Channel list + message feed |
+| Logs | Monospace viewer, opaque scrim, terminal feel |
+| Channels | Card grid with status indicators |
+| Skills | Card grid, name + description + attached agents |
+| Hands | Card grid, bundled vs custom labels |
+| Runtime | Metric cards + config key-value table |
+| Settings | Form sections in glass cards, pill toggles |
+| Analytics | Chart panels with heavy scrim |
+| Scheduler | Cron cards with countdown, enable/disable toggle |
+| Workflows | Flow cards with status badges |
+
+---
+
+## 8. Component Refresh
+
+| Component | Current | New |
+|-----------|---------|-----|
+| Buttons | 6px radius, flat | 12px, glass ghost default, accent solid primary |
+| Badges | 20px radius, uppercase | 10px, sentence case, glass-tinted |
+| Tables | Bordered wrapper, flat rows | Glass Surface + scrim, hover row glow |
+| Forms | Standard inputs | 12px radius, glass bg, accent focus glow |
+| Modals | Flat card overlay | Glass Overlay, 24px radius, backdrop blur |
+| Toggles | Checkbox | Pill-switch (iOS), accent when on |
+| Cards | 12px radius, border | 20px, glass material, edge highlight |
+| Toasts | Bottom-right stack | Top-center, glass pill, slide-down |
+| Scrollbars | Thin custom | Same thin, glass-tinted thumb |
+
+---
+
+## 9. File Changes
+
+| File | Action |
+|------|--------|
+| `theme.css` | Complete rewrite — tokens, mesh gradient, glass materials |
+| `layout.css` | Complete rewrite — dock nav, floating header, centered content |
+| `components.css` | Complete rewrite — all components to glass style |
+| `index_body.html` | Restructure — remove sidebar, add dock + command palette |
+| `js/app.js` | Update — dock navigation, command palette logic, page transitions |
+| Page JS files | Minor updates where HTML structure changes |
+| New: `noise.svg` | Tiny noise texture for glass banding prevention |
+
+**No backend changes required.**
+
+---
+
+## 10. Accessibility
+
+- All contrast ratios meet WCAG AA on both themes (glass opacity tuned for this)
+- `prefers-reduced-motion` disables all animation
+- Command palette fully keyboard navigable
+- Focus rings preserved (accent glow)
+- Touch targets >= 44px on coarse pointers
+- Semantic HTML maintained (nav, main, role attributes)
+
+---
+
+## 11. Performance
+
+- Mesh gradient on isolated composited layer (no repaints)

+# OpenFang "Apple Intelligence" UI Overhaul — Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Transform the OpenFang dashboard from a traditional sidebar-based developer tool into a premium glassmorphic UI with floating dock navigation, ambient mesh gradient, and Apple Intelligence-inspired aesthetics.
+
+**Architecture:** Pure CSS/HTML/JS overhaul — no backend changes, no build step, no new frameworks. Three CSS files get rewritten (theme, layout, components), HTML restructured (sidebar replaced with dock + command palette), and app.js updated for new navigation.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Alpine.js (existing), vanilla CSS with CSS custom properties, backdrop-filter for glass effects
+
+**Design doc:** `docs/plans/2026-03-05-ui-overhaul-design.md`

+## Task 1: Create noise.svg asset
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `crates/openfang-api/static/noise.svg`
+
+**Step 1: Create the SVG noise texture**
+
+This is a tiny SVG with feTurbulence that prevents gradient banding on glass panels.
+
+```svg
+<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="200" height="200">
+  <filter id="n">
+    <feTurbulence type="fractalNoise" baseFrequency="0.75" numOctaves="4" stitchTiles="stitch"/>
+    <feColorMatrix type="saturate" values="0"/>
+  </filter>
+  <rect width="100%" height="100%" filter="url(#n)" opacity="0.04"/>
+</svg>
+```
+
+**Step 2: Verify it loads**
+
+Open `http://127.0.0.1:50051/noise.svg` in browser — should see a subtle grey noise pattern.
+
+**Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/openfang-api/static/noise.svg
+git commit -m "feat(ui): add noise.svg texture for glass banding prevention"
+```

+
+## Task 2: Rewrite theme.css — tokens, mesh gradient, glass materials
+
+**Files:**
+- Rewrite: `crates/openfang-api/static/css/theme.css` (currently 277 lines)
+
+This is the foundation — everything else depends on these tokens.
+
+**Step 1: Rewrite theme.css**
+
+Replace the entire file. Key changes:
+- Add glass material tokens (3 levels: surface, chrome, overlay)
+- Add mesh gradient tokens (3 blob colors per theme)
+- Add typography tokens (metric, heading, body, label, caption)
+- Add new radius scale (20px cards, 12px buttons, 10px badges)
+- Keep existing status colors (success, error, warning, info) — they work well
+- Keep existing font imports (Inter + Geist Mono) — defined in index_head.html
+- Add `font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums` for numeric elements
+- Remove all `text-transform: uppercase` defaults
+- Add mesh gradient as `body::before` pseudo-element with 90s animation
+- Add `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)` to stop mesh animation
+- Mesh gradient uses `position: fixed; z-index: -1` with `transform: translate3d()` animation (GPU composited)
+
+**New token structure:**
+
+```css
+:root, [data-theme="light"] {
+  /* Existing colors (keep) */
+  --accent: #FF5C00;
+  --success: #22C55E;

+
+**Mesh gradient animation (add to body::before):**
+
+```css
+body::before {
+  content: '';
+  position: fixed;
+  inset: -50%;
+  width: 200%;
+  height: 200%;
+  z-index: -1;

+  background: url('/noise.svg');
+  opacity: 0.03;
+  pointer-events: none;
+  border-radius: inherit;
+}
+```
+
+**Step 2: Verify**
+
+Build to check the static file is served: `cargo build --workspace --lib`
+Open dashboard in browser — should see mesh gradient background with no UI (layout not updated yet).
+
+**Step 3: Commit**

+## Task 3: Rewrite layout.css — dock nav, floating header, centered content
+
+**Files:**
+- Rewrite: `crates/openfang-api/static/css/layout.css` (currently 310 lines)
+
+**Step 1: Rewrite layout.css**
+
+Replace entirely. Key changes:
+- Remove all sidebar styles (.sidebar, .sidebar-*, .nav-*)
+- Add floating dock styles (.dock, .dock-item, .dock-more)
+- Add floating page header (.page-header as glass-chrome, border-radius: 16px, margin: 12px 16px 0)
+- Add centered content layout (.main-content max-width centered, padding for dock clearance)
+- Add command palette styles (.cmd-palette, .cmd-palette-input, .cmd-palette-list)
+- Keep responsive breakpoints but update for dock (dock stacks icons tighter on mobile)
+- Page body gets `padding-bottom: calc(var(--dock-height) + 24px)` for dock clearance
+
+**New layout structure:**
+
+```css

+## Task 4: Rewrite components.css — glass-styled components
+
+**Files:**
+- Rewrite: `crates/openfang-api/static/css/components.css` (currently 3202 lines)
+
+**Step 1: Read the full existing components.css**
+
+Read the entire file in chunks to understand every component that needs restyling:
+- Buttons, cards, badges, tables, forms, modals, toggles, toasts
+- Chat-specific: messages, input area, agent selector
+- Page-specific: stats row, overview grid, agent cards, session table, etc.
+
+**Step 2: Rewrite components.css**
+
+Replace the entire file. Key changes for each component:
+
+**Buttons:**
+- `border-radius: var(--radius-md)` (12px)
+- `.btn-ghost` gets glass background on hover
+- `.btn-primary` keeps accent color, gets `box-shadow: var(--shadow-accent)`
+- `:active` scale stays at 0.97
+
+**Cards:**
+- `border-radius: var(--radius-lg)` (20px)
+- Apply `.glass-surface` properties inline (since cards may not always have the class)
+- Hover: lift 4px, edge brightens
+- `.card-grid` gap stays 16px, minmax(300px, 1fr)
+- Remove card-glow mouse-tracking (replaced by glass material)
+
+**Badges:**
+- `border-radius: var(--radius-sm)` (10px)
+- Remove `text-transform: uppercase`
+- Sentence case, slightly larger font (11px)
+- Glass-tinted backgrounds for each status
+
+**Tables:**
+- `.table-wrap` gets glass-surface + scrim background for legibility
+- `border-radius: var(--radius-lg)` (20px)
+- Header row uses glass-chrome style
+- Hover rows get subtle glow
+- Remove uppercase from `th`, use sentence case + font-weight 600
+
+**Forms:**
+- Inputs: `border-radius: var(--radius-md)` (12px), glass background
+- Focus: accent glow ring (`box-shadow: 0 0 0 3px var(--accent-glow)`)
+- Labels: sentence case, no uppercase
+
+**Modals:**
+- Glass overlay material
+- `border-radius: var(--radius-xl)` (24px)
+- Backdrop gets `backdrop-filter: blur(4px)`
+- Entry animation: scale(0.96) fade-in
+
+**Toggles:**
+- Pill-switch style (iOS-like)
+- Accent color when on
+- Smooth slide animation
+
+**Toasts:**
+- Top-center position
+- Glass pill shape (`border-radius: var(--radius-pill)`)
+- Slide-down entry animation
+
+**Chat messages:**
+- Agent: glass-surface, `border-radius: 20px 20px 20px 8px`, left-aligned
+- User: accent-tinted glass, `border-radius: 20px 20px 8px 20px`, right-aligned
+- Avatar: 32px circle with status glow ring
+- Code blocks: slightly more opaque glass
+
+**Chat input:**
+- Glass-chrome material
+- `border-radius: 20px`
+- Auto-growing textarea
+- Send button: circular, accent, slides in
+
+**Agent selector (pill bar):**
+- Horizontal scroll, flex, gap 8px
+- Each agent: pill shape, glass-surface
+- Active: filled with accent glow
+
+**Stats cards:**
+- Glass-surface, `border-radius: 20px`
+- Big number: `font-size: var(--type-metric)`, `font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums`
+- Sparkline/trend indicator support
+
+**Peek panel (agent detail):**
+- Right-side slide-in panel
+- Glass-overlay material
+- `width: 420px`, `border-radius: 24px 0 0 24px`
+- Sections with dividers
+
+**Scrollbars:** Keep thin style, glass-tinted thumb.
+
+**Skeleton loading:** Update to glass-based shimmer.
+
+**Empty states:** Centered, softer styling.
+
+**Step 3: Verify**
+
+`cargo build --workspace --lib`
+
+**Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/openfang-api/static/css/components.css

+## Task 5: Restructure index_body.html — dock + command palette + new layout
+
+**Files:**
+- Rewrite: `crates/openfang-api/static/index_body.html` (currently 4702 lines)
+
+This is the largest and most delicate task. The file contains all page templates.
+
+**Step 1: Read the full index_body.html**
+
+Read in 300-line chunks to map every page template and its Alpine.js bindings. Critical to preserve all `x-data`, `x-init`, `x-if`, `x-for`, `x-show` bindings exactly.
+
+**Step 2: Restructure the HTML**
+
+Key structural changes:
+
+**a) Replace sidebar with dock + status bar + theme switcher:**
+
+Remove the entire `<nav class="sidebar">...</nav>` block and `.sidebar-overlay`.
+
+Add before `</body>`:
+
+```html
+<!-- Floating Dock -->
+<nav class="dock glass-chrome" role="navigation" aria-label="Main navigation">
+  <button class="dock-item" :class="{ active: page === 'agents' }" @click="navigate('agents')" aria-label="Chat">
+    <span class="dock-tooltip">Chat</span>
+    <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M21 15a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H7l-4 4V5a2 2 0 0 1 2-2h14a2 2 0 0 1 2 2z"/></svg>
+  </button>
+  <button class="dock-item" :class="{ active: page === 'overview' }" @click="navigate('overview')" aria-label="Overview">
+    <span class="dock-tooltip">Overview</span>
+    <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="m3 9 9-7 9 7v11a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H5a2 2 0 0 1-2-2z"/><path d="M9 22V12h6v10"/></svg>
+  </button>
+  <button class="dock-item" :class="{ active: page === 'sessions' }" @click="navigate('sessions')" aria-label="Agents">
+    <span class="dock-tooltip">Agents</span>
+    <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="m12 2-10 5 10 5 10-5z"/><path d="m2 17 10 5 10-5"/><path d="m2 12 10 5 10-5"/></svg>
+  </button>
+  <button class="dock-item" :class="{ active: page === 'workflows' }" @click="navigate('workflows')" aria-label="Workflows">
+    <span class="dock-tooltip">Workflows</span>
+    <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M6 3v12M18 9a9 9 0 0 1-9 9"/><circle cx="18" cy="6" r="3"/><circle cx="6" cy="18" r="3"/></svg>
+  </button>
+  <button class="dock-item" :class="{ active: page === 'scheduler' }" @click="navigate('scheduler')" aria-label="Scheduler">
+    <span class="dock-tooltip">Scheduler</span>
+    <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24"><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10"/><path d="M12 6v6l4 2"/></svg>
+  </button>
+  <div class="dock-divider"></div>
+  <button class="dock-item" @click="cmdOpen = true" aria-label="More pages">
+    <span class="dock-tooltip">More (Ctrl+K)</span>
+    <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24"><circle cx="4" cy="4" r="1.5" fill="currentColor" stroke="none"/><circle cx="12" cy="4" r="1.5" fill="currentColor" stroke="none"/><circle cx="20" cy="4" r="1.5" fill="currentColor" stroke="none"/><circle cx="4" cy="12" r="1.5" fill="currentColor" stroke="none"/><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="1.5" fill="currentColor" stroke="none"/><circle cx="20" cy="12" r="1.5" fill="currentColor" stroke="none"/><circle cx="4" cy="20" r="1.5" fill="currentColor" stroke="none"/><circle cx="12" cy="20" r="1.5" fill="currentColor" stroke="none"/><circle cx="20" cy="20" r="1.5" fill="currentColor" stroke="none"/></svg>
+  </button>
+</nav>
+```
+
+**b) Add floating status indicator (top-right):**
+
+```html
+<div class="status-float glass-chrome" :class="{ 'text-success': connected, 'text-error': !connected && !$store.app.booting }">
+  <span class="status-dot"></span>
+  <span x-show="connected" x-text="agentCount + ' agents'"></span>
+  <span x-show="!connected && $store.app.booting">Connecting...</span>
+  <span x-show="!connected && !$store.app.booting">Offline</span>
+</div>
+```
+
+**c) Add floating theme switcher (top-left):**
+
+```html
+<div class="theme-float glass-chrome">
+  <button class="theme-opt" :class="{ active: themeMode === 'light' }" @click="setTheme('light')" title="Light">&#9788;</button>
+  <button class="theme-opt" :class="{ active: themeMode === 'system' }" @click="setTheme('system')" title="System">&#9675;</button>
+  <button class="theme-opt" :class="{ active: themeMode === 'dark' }" @click="setTheme('dark')" title="Dark">&#9790;</button>
+</div>
+```
+
+**d) Add command palette overlay:**
+
+```html
+<template x-if="cmdOpen">
+  <div class="cmd-backdrop" @click.self="cmdOpen = false" @keydown.escape.window="cmdOpen = false">
+    <div class="cmd-palette glass-overlay" @click.stop>
+      <input class="cmd-input" type="text" placeholder="Search pages, actions..." x-model="cmdQuery" x-ref="cmdInput"
+        @keydown.arrow-down.prevent="cmdIdx = Math.min(cmdIdx + 1, cmdFiltered.length - 1)"
+        @keydown.arrow-up.prevent="cmdIdx = Math.max(cmdIdx - 1, 0)"
+        @keydown.enter.prevent="cmdGo(cmdFiltered[cmdIdx])"
+        x-init="$nextTick(() => $refs.cmdInput.focus())">
+      <div class="cmd-list">
+        <template x-for="(item, i) in cmdFiltered" :key="item.page">
+          <div class="cmd-item" :class="{ selected: i === cmdIdx }" @click="cmdGo(item)" @mouseenter="cmdIdx = i">
+            <span x-html="item.icon"></span>
+            <span x-text="item.label"></span>
+            <span class="cmd-shortcut" x-show="item.shortcut" x-text="item.shortcut"></span>
+          </div>
+        </template>
+        <div x-show="cmdFiltered.length === 0" style="padding:20px;text-align:center;color:var(--text-muted);font-size:var(--type-label)">No results</div>
+      </div>
+    </div>
+  </div>
+</template>
+```
+
+**e) Update main content wrapper:**
+
+Remove `<main class="main-content">` sidebar-dependent structure.
+Replace with:
+
+```html
+<main class="main-content">
+  <!-- Each page template stays the same internally but gets page-enter class -->
+  <template x-if="page === 'overview'">
+    <div class="page-enter" x-data="overviewPage" ...>
+      <div class="page-header glass-chrome">...</div>
+      <div class="page-body">...</div>
+    </div>
+  </template>
+  <!-- ... all other pages ... -->
+</main>
+```
+
+**f) For each page template:**
+- Add `class="page-enter"` to the outer div
+- Add `class="glass-chrome"` to `.page-header`
+- Add `class="glass-surface"` to cards (`.card`)
+- Keep all Alpine.js data bindings exactly as-is
+- Keep all x-data function references (overviewPage, agentsPage, chatPage, etc.)
+
+**g) Chat page specific changes:**
+- Add agent pill selector bar above messages
+- Center the chat column: `max-width: var(--content-narrow); margin: 0 auto`
+- Update message container classes for new bubble styles
+- Update input area to use glass-chrome + circular send button
+
+**Step 3: Verify**
+
+`cargo build --workspace --lib` — static file embedding must succeed.
+
+**Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/openfang-api/static/index_body.html
+git commit -m "feat(ui): restructure HTML with floating dock, command palette, and glass panels"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 6: Update app.js — command palette logic and dock navigation
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/openfang-api/static/js/app.js` (currently 319 lines)
+
+**Step 1: Update the app() function**
+
+Add these new properties to the `app()` return object:
+
+```js
+// Command palette state
+cmdOpen: false,
+cmdQuery: '',
+cmdIdx: 0,
+cmdItems: [
+  { page: 'agents', label: 'Chat', icon: '<svg ...>...</svg>', shortcut: '' },
+  { page: 'overview', label: 'Overview', icon: '<svg ...>...</svg>', shortcut: '' },
+  { page: 'sessions', label: 'Sessions', icon: '<svg ...>...</svg>', shortcut: '' },
+  { page: 'approvals', label: 'Approvals', icon: '<svg ...>...</svg>', shortcut: '' },
+  { page: 'comms', label: 'Comms', icon: '<svg ...>...</svg>', shortcut: '' },
+  { page: 'workflows', label: 'Workflows', icon: '<svg ...>...</svg>', shortcut: '' },
+  { page: 'scheduler', label: 'Scheduler', icon: '<svg ...>...</svg>', shortcut: '' },
+  { page: 'channels', label: 'Channels', icon: '<svg ...>...</svg>', shortcut: '' },
+  { page: 'skills', label: 'Skills', icon: '<svg ...>...</svg>', shortcut: '' },
+  { page: 'hands', label: 'Hands', icon: '<svg ...>...</svg>', shortcut: '' },
+  { page: 'analytics', label: 'Analytics', icon: '<svg ...>...</svg>', shortcut: '' },
+  { page: 'logs', label: 'Logs', icon: '<svg ...>...</svg>', shortcut: '' },
+  { page: 'runtime', label: 'Runtime', icon: '<svg ...>...</svg>', shortcut: '' },
+  { page: 'settings', label: 'Settings', icon: '<svg ...>...</svg>', shortcut: '' },
+],
+```
+
+Add computed property:
+
+```js
+get cmdFiltered() {
+  if (!this.cmdQuery) return this.cmdItems;
+  var q = this.cmdQuery.toLowerCase();
+  return this.cmdItems.filter(function(item) {
+    return item.label.toLowerCase().indexOf(q) >= 0 || item.page.toLowerCase().indexOf(q) >= 0;
+  });
+},
+```
+
+Add method:
+
+```js
+cmdGo(item) {
+  if (!item) return;
+  this.navigate(item.page);
+  this.cmdOpen = false;
+  this.cmdQuery = '';
+  this.cmdIdx = 0;
+},
+```
+
+**Step 2: Update keyboard shortcuts**
+
+Change `Ctrl+K` from navigating to agents to opening command palette:
+
+```js
+if ((e.ctrlKey || e.metaKey) && e.key === 'k') {
+  e.preventDefault();
+  self.cmdOpen = !self.cmdOpen;
+  self.cmdQuery = '';
+  self.cmdIdx = 0;
+}
+```
+
+Add `Escape` to close command palette:
+
+```js
+if (e.key === 'Escape') {
+  if (self.cmdOpen) { self.cmdOpen = false; return; }
+  // ... existing escape handling
+}
+```
+
+**Step 3: Remove sidebar-specific code**
+
+- Remove `sidebarCollapsed` property and `toggleSidebar()` method
+- Remove `mobileMenuOpen` property
+- Remove sidebar localStorage reads/writes
+- Keep `focusMode` (still hides dock)
+
+**Step 4: Verify**
+
+`cargo build --workspace --lib`
+
+**Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/openfang-api/static/js/app.js
+git commit -m "feat(ui): add command palette logic and dock navigation to app.js"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 7: Update page JS files for HTML structure changes
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/openfang-api/static/js/pages/chat.js` (minor — centered layout classes)
+- Modify: `crates/openfang-api/static/js/pages/agents.js` (minor — detail peek panel vs modal)
+- Other page JS files: likely no changes needed (they bind to data, not layout)
+
+**Step 1: Review each page JS for layout-dependent code**
+
+Scan each file for references to `.sidebar`, `.modal` positioning, or width calculations that assumed sidebar layout.
+
+**Step 2: Update chat.js**
+
+If the chat page references sidebar width or layout-dependent positioning, update those references. The chat input positioning may need adjustment since it's now centered in a narrow column rather than filling a sidebar-offset content area.
+
+**Step 3: Update agents.js**
+
+If the agent detail modal uses `position: fixed` with sidebar-offset calculations, update to centered/right-panel positioning.
+
+**Step 4: Verify**
+
+`cargo build --workspace --lib`
+
+**Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/openfang-api/static/js/pages/chat.js crates/openfang-api/static/js/pages/agents.js
+git commit -m "feat(ui): update page JS for new centered layout"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 8: Check static file serving in server.rs
+
+**Files:**
+- Read: `crates/openfang-api/src/server.rs`
+
+**Step 1: Verify noise.svg will be served**
+
+Check how static files are served. If using `include_dir!` or `rust-embed`, the new `noise.svg` should be automatically picked up. If static files are listed explicitly, add `noise.svg` to the list.
+
+**Step 2: Fix if needed**
+
+If serving is explicit, add the noise.svg route.
+
+**Step 3: Verify**
+
+`cargo build --workspace --lib`
+
+**Step 4: Commit (only if changes needed)**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/openfang-api/src/server.rs
+git commit -m "fix(api): serve noise.svg static asset"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 9: Full build + visual verification
+
+**Step 1: Run all three checks**
+
+```bash
+cargo build --workspace --lib
+cargo test --workspace
+cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
+```
+
+All must pass.
+
+**Step 2: Start daemon and verify visually**
+
+```bash
+GROQ_API_KEY=<key> target/release/openfang.exe start &
+sleep 6
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:50051/api/health
+```
+
+**Step 3: Open dashboard in browser and verify:**
+
+- [ ] Mesh gradient visible and animating slowly
+- [ ] Floating dock at bottom center with 5 icons + "More"
+- [ ] Dock item hover shows tooltip, active shows glow dot
+- [ ] Ctrl+K opens command palette with fuzzy search
+- [ ] All 14 pages accessible via command palette
+- [ ] Page transitions have fade-in animation
+- [ ] Cards have glass effect (semi-transparent with blur)
+- [ ] Tables/data regions are legible (scrim working)
+- [ ] Light/dark theme toggle works (top-left floating)
+- [ ] Status indicator shows connected state (top-right floating)
+- [ ] Chat page: centered column, glass message bubbles, pill input
+- [ ] Agent cards: 20px radius, glass, hover lift
+- [ ] Mobile: dock tightens, command palette fits screen
+- [ ] Focus mode (Ctrl+Shift+F): hides dock and floating elements
+- [ ] `prefers-reduced-motion`: mesh stops, transitions instant
+- [ ] No horizontal scrollbar on any page
+- [ ] No console errors
+
+**Step 4: Commit final adjustments if any**
+
+```bash
+git add -A
+git commit -m "fix(ui): visual polish and adjustments from manual testing"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 10: Final commit — squash or tag
+
+**Step 1: Review all commits**
+
+```bash
+git log --oneline -10
+```
+
+**Step 2: Create summary commit or tag**
+
+If user prefers a clean history, offer to squash. Otherwise tag the milestone:
+
+```bash
+git tag ui-overhaul-v1
+```
+
+---
+
+## Dependency Graph
+
+```
+Task 1 (noise.svg)     ─┐
+Task 2 (theme.css)      ├─→ Task 4 (components.css) ─→ Task 5 (HTML) ─→ Task 6 (app.js) ─→ Task 7 (page JS) ─→ Task 8 (server check) ─→ Task 9 (verify)
+Task 3 (layout.css)    ─┘
+```
+
+Tasks 1, 2, 3 can run in parallel. Task 4 depends on 2 (tokens). Task 5 depends on 3+4 (layout + component classes). Tasks 6-7 depend on 5 (HTML structure). Task 8 depends on 1. Task 9 depends on all.

Subject: [PATCH 34/42] Add ephemeral sessions for workflow steps and empty
 messages guard

Workflow steps now use fresh sessions (zero prior messages) instead of
the agent's main session, preventing session bloat from accumulating
across runs and causing proxy timeouts. Also adds an early rejection
guard in the Anthropic driver for empty message arrays.

Subject: [PATCH 35/42] Add TCP keepalive and pool idle timeout to HTTP clients

Prevents proxy connection drops during long-running agent sessions
(e.g. researcher doing 10+ web searches over several minutes).
- pool_idle_timeout: 90s (keeps connections warm between tool calls)
- tcp_keepalive: 30s (detects dead connections early)

Subject: [PATCH 36/42] Replace generic assistant prompt with Waseem WhatsApp
 persona

Rewrote the assistant agent system prompt based on real WhatsApp
chat history analysis. The assistant now responds as Waseem in
Roman Urdu with authentic patterns (Je jan, kar deya, jani 8 tak)
instead of generic AI responses that confused the recipient.

-system_prompt = """You are Assistant, a specialist agent in the OpenFang Agent OS. You are the default general-purpose agent — a versatile, knowledgeable, and helpful companion designed to handle a wide range of everyday tasks, answer questions, and assist with productivity workflows.
-
-CORE COMPETENCIES:
-
-1. Conversational Intelligence
-You engage in natural, helpful conversations on virtually any topic. You answer factual questions accurately, provide explanations at the appropriate level of detail, and maintain context across multi-turn dialogues. You know when to be concise (quick factual answers) and when to be thorough (complex explanations, nuanced topics). You ask clarifying questions when a request is ambiguous rather than guessing. You are honest about the limits of your knowledge and clearly distinguish between established facts, well-supported opinions, and speculation.
-
-2. Task Execution and Productivity
-You help users accomplish concrete tasks: writing and editing text, brainstorming ideas, summarizing documents, creating lists and plans, drafting emails and messages, organizing information, performing calculations, and managing files. You approach each task systematically: understand the goal, gather necessary context, execute the work, and verify the result. You proactively suggest improvements and catch potential issues.
-
-3. Research and Information Synthesis
-You help users find, organize, and understand information. You can search the web, read documents, and synthesize findings into clear summaries. You evaluate source quality, identify conflicting information, and present balanced perspectives on complex topics. You structure research output with clear sections: key findings, supporting evidence, open questions, and recommended next steps.
-
-4. Writing and Communication
-You are a versatile writer who adapts style and tone to the task: professional correspondence, creative writing, technical documentation, casual messages, social media posts, reports, and presentations. You understand audience, purpose, and context. You provide multiple options when the user's preference is unclear. You edit for clarity, grammar, tone, and structure.
-
-5. Problem Solving and Analysis
-You help users think through problems logically. You apply structured frameworks: define the problem, identify constraints, generate options, evaluate trade-offs, and recommend a course of action. You use first-principles thinking to break complex problems into manageable components. You consider multiple perspectives and anticipate potential objections or risks.
-
-6. Agent Delegation
-As the default entry point to the OpenFang Agent OS, you know when a task would be better handled by a specialist agent. You can list available agents, delegate tasks to specialists, and synthesize their responses. You understand each specialist's strengths and route work accordingly: coding tasks to Coder, research to Researcher, data analysis to Analyst, writing to Writer, and so on. When a task is within your general capabilities, you handle it directly without unnecessary delegation.
-
-7. Knowledge Management
-You help users organize and retrieve information across sessions. You store important context, preferences, and reference material in memory for future conversations. You maintain structured notes, to-do lists, and project summaries. You recall previous conversations and build on established context.
-
-8. Creative and Brainstorming Support
-You help generate ideas, explore possibilities, and think creatively. You use brainstorming techniques: mind mapping, SCAMPER, random association, constraint-based ideation, and analogical thinking. You help users explore options without premature judgment, then shift to evaluation and refinement when ready.
-
-OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES:
-- Be helpful, accurate, and honest in all interactions
-- Adapt your communication style to the user's preferences and the task at hand
-- When unsure, ask clarifying questions rather than making assumptions
-- For specialized tasks, recommend or delegate to the appropriate specialist agent
-- Provide structured, scannable output: use headers, bullet points, and numbered lists
-- Store user preferences, context, and important information in memory for continuity
-- Be proactive about suggesting related tasks or improvements, but respect the user's focus
-- Never fabricate information — clearly state when you are uncertain or speculating
-- Respect privacy and confidentiality in all interactions
-- When handling multiple tasks, prioritize and track them clearly
-- Use all available tools appropriately: files for persistent documents, memory for context, web for current information, shell for computations
-
-TOOLS AVAILABLE:
-- file_read / file_write / file_list: Read, create, and manage files and documents
-- memory_store / memory_recall: Persist and retrieve context, preferences, and knowledge
-- web_fetch: Access current information from the web
-- shell_exec: Run computations, scripts, and system commands
-- agent_send / agent_list: Delegate tasks to specialist agents and see available agents
-
-You are reliable, adaptable, and genuinely helpful. You are the user's trusted first point of contact in the OpenFang Agent OS — capable of handling most tasks directly and smart enough to delegate when a specialist would do it better."""
+system_prompt = """You are Waseem, responding to WhatsApp messages from your wife Tehmeena (also called Ayesha).
+
+YOUR EXACT SPEAKING STYLE (copy these patterns):
+- When she says "Waseem": reply "Je jan" or "Je mairey jan"
+- When she asks to order food/items: reply "done" or "kar deya" or "je kar deya hay"
+- When she asks "Kb aaen gy": give a specific time like "jani 830 tak" or "jani 8 tak"
+- When she asks how you are: "jani aap key duaen hain theak"
+- When she shares kids news: ask "bachyan kaisey hain" or "maryum ka keya hal"
+- When kids are sick: "Allah swt shifa dey ameen" or "oh Allah mairey jan ko shifa dey ameen"
+- When she says something sweet: "Love You to Jan" or "Miss you to jani"
+- When busy: "jani abhey kam may hun" or "jani aik minute UG key sath hun"
+- When agreeing: "Jee", "Je", "set hay", "set hay jani"
+- Use "InshaAllah", "Alhamdolilah", "ameen" naturally
+
+RULES:
+- Reply DIRECTLY. Never say "Would you like to reply" or translate her message
+- Keep replies SHORT — 1-3 words to 1-2 lines max, just like the real Waseem
+- Use Roman Urdu primarily, mix English only when natural
+- NEVER send poetry, formatted messages, bullet points, or markdown
+- NEVER introduce yourself as AI, agent, bot, or OpenFang
+- NEVER use emojis except rarely (only when she sends something really sweet)
+- If she sends a Facebook/YouTube link: react briefly ("ameen", "SubhanAllah") or stay quiet
+- If she sends a shopping link: acknowledge briefly or stay quiet
+- If she asks to order something (photo/screenshot): say "done" or "kar deya"
+- If she sends kids school stuff: respond as a caring father
+- You ARE Waseem — respond as him, not as an assistant
+- When unsure what to say, keep it minimal: "Jee jani" or "set hay"
+- NEVER send long paragraphs — Waseem never does"""

Subject: [PATCH 37/42] Fix post-merge build: align driver constructors with
 upstream API
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Upstream removed shared reqwest::Client passing — drivers now create
their own clients internally. Updated all call sites in kernel, routes,
and channel_bridge. Added zeroize dep to openfang-api for vault usage.

Subject: [PATCH 38/42] security: unify SSRF protection with fail-closed DNS
 and userinfo stripping

- Extract shared ssrf.rs module used by web_fetch.rs and host_functions.rs
- Use url::Url for proper parsing (handles userinfo, IPv6, edge cases)
- Fail CLOSED on DNS resolution failure (was silently allowing)
- Strip userinfo from URLs before hostname extraction
- Unified blocklist across both code paths (was inconsistent)

Subject: [PATCH 39/42] security: block shell substitution in exec allowlist
 mode

Reject $(), backticks, and <()/>() in allowlist mode since these
embed commands invisible to static command extraction. Full mode
is unaffected. Clear error message directs users to full mode.

Subject: [PATCH 40/42] security: enforce response size limit for
 chunked/streaming responses

Previously only checked Content-Length header, which is absent for
chunked transfer encoding. Now also checks actual body size after
download via bytes(). Prevents memory exhaustion from large chunked
responses.

Single-bucket eviction could leave total above MAX_RECEIPTS when
the picked bucket had fewer entries than needed. Now iterates across
all buckets until total is within bounds.
