+# VAN MODE: INITIALIZATION PROCESS MAP
+
+> **TL;DR:** This visual map defines the VAN mode process for project initialization, task analysis, and technical validation. It guides users through platform detection, file verification, complexity determination, and technical validation to ensure proper setup before implementation.

+## 📝 VALIDATION STATUS FORMAT
+
+The QA Validation step includes clear status indicators:
+
+```

+```
+
+## 🚨 MODE TRANSITION TRIGGERS
+
+### VAN to PLAN Transition
+For complexity levels 2-4:
+```
+🚫 LEVEL [2-4] TASK DETECTED
+Implementation in VAN mode is BLOCKED
+This task REQUIRES PLAN mode
+You MUST switch to PLAN mode for proper documentation and planning
+Type 'PLAN' to switch to planning mode
+```
+
+### CREATIVE to VAN QA Transition
+After completing the CREATIVE mode:
+```
+⏭️ NEXT MODE: VAN QA
+To validate technical requirements before implementation, please type 'VAN QA'
+```
+
+### VAN QA to BUILD Transition
+After successful validation:
+```
+✅ TECHNICAL VALIDATION COMPLETE
+All prerequisites verified successfully
+You may now proceed to BUILD mode
+Type 'BUILD' to begin implementation
+```
+
+## 🔒 BUILD MODE PREVENTION MECHANISM
+
+The system prevents moving to BUILD mode without passing QA validation:
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+    Start["User Types: BUILD"] --> CheckQA{"QA Validation<br>Completed?"}
+    CheckQA -->|"Yes and Passed"| AllowBuild["Allow BUILD Mode"]
+    CheckQA -->|"No or Failed"| BlockBuild["BLOCK BUILD MODE"]
+    BlockBuild --> Message["Display:<br>⚠️ QA VALIDATION REQUIRED"]
+    Message --> ReturnToVANQA["Prompt: Type VAN QA"]

+    style ReturnToVANQA fill:#4da6ff,stroke:#0066cc,color:white
+```
+
+## 🔄 QA COMMAND PRECEDENCE
+
+QA validation can be called at any point in the process flow, and takes immediate precedence over any other current steps, including forced mode switches:
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+    UserQA["User Types: QA"] --> HighPriority["⚠️ HIGH PRIORITY COMMAND"]
+    HighPriority --> CurrentTask["Pause Current Task/Process"]
+    CurrentTask --> LoadQA["Load QA Mode Map"]

+    QAResults -->|"PASS"| ResumeFlow["Resume Prior Process Flow"]
+    QAResults -->|"FAIL"| FixIssues["Fix Identified Issues"]
+    FixIssues --> ReRunQA["Re-run QA Validation"]
+    ReRunQA --> QAResults
+    
+    style UserQA fill:#f8d486,stroke:#e8b84d,color:black

+    style RunQA fill:#4da6ff,stroke:#0066cc,color:white
+    style QAResults fill:#f6546a,stroke:#c30052,color:white
+```
+
+### QA Interruption Rules
+
+When a user types **QA** at any point:
+
+1. **The QA command MUST take immediate precedence** over any current operation, including the "FORCE MODE SWITCH" triggered by complexity assessment.
+2. The system MUST:
+   - Immediately load the QA mode map
+   - Execute the full QA validation process
+   - Address any failures before continuing
+3. **Required remediation steps take priority** over any pending mode switches or complexity rules
+4. After QA validation is complete and passes:
+   - Resume the previously determined process flow
+   - Continue with any required mode switches
+
+```
+⚠️ QA OVERRIDE ACTIVATED
+All other processes paused
+QA validation checks now running...
+Any issues found MUST be remediated before continuing with normal process flow
+```
+
+## 📋 CHECKPOINT VERIFICATION TEMPLATE
+
+Each major checkpoint in VAN mode uses this format:
+
+```
+✓ SECTION CHECKPOINT: [SECTION NAME]
+- Requirement 1? [YES/NO]
+- Requirement 2? [YES/NO]
+- Requirement 3? [YES/NO]
+
+→ If all YES: Ready for next section
+→ If any NO: Fix missing items before proceeding
+```
+
+## 🚀 VAN MODE ACTIVATION
+
+When the user types "VAN", respond with a confirmation and start the process:
+
+```
+User: VAN
+
+Response: OK VAN - Beginning Initialization Process
+```
+
+After completing CREATIVE mode, when the user types "VAN QA", respond:
+
+```
+User: VAN QA
+
+Response: OK VAN QA - Beginning Technical Validation
+```
+
+This ensures clear communication about which phase of VAN mode is active.

+
+### Technology Extraction Process:
+```powershell
+# Example: Extract technology choices from creative phase documentation

+    
+    # Read from systemPatterns.md
+    if (Test-Path "memory-bank\systemPatterns.md") {

+
+## 🚨 IMPLEMENTATION PREVENTION MECHANISM
+
+If QA validation fails, the system prevents moving to BUILD mode:

+}
+```
+
+## 🧪 COMMON QA VALIDATION FIXES
+
+Here are common fixes for issues encountered during QA validation:
+
+### Dependency Issues:
+- **Missing Node.js**: Install Node.js from https://nodejs.org/
+- **Outdated npm**: Run `npm install -g npm@latest` to update
+- **Missing packages**: Run `npm install` or `npm install [package-name]`
+
+### Configuration Issues:
+- **Invalid JSON**: Use a JSON validator to check syntax
+- **Missing React plugin**: Add `import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'` and `plugins: [react()]` to vite.config.js
+- **Incompatible TypeScript config**: Update `tsconfig.json` with correct React settings
+
+### Environment Issues:
+- **Permission denied**: Run terminal as administrator (Windows) or use sudo (Mac/Linux)
+- **Port already in use**: Kill process using the port or change the port in configuration
+- **Missing build tools**: Install required command-line tools
+
+### Build Test Issues:
+- **Build fails**: Check console for specific error messages
+- **Test fails**: Verify minimal configuration is correct
+- **Path issues**: Ensure paths use correct separators for the platform
+
+## 🔒 FINAL QA VALIDATION CHECKPOINT
+
+```
+✓ SECTION CHECKPOINT: QA VALIDATION
+- Dependency Verification Passed? [YES/NO]
+- Configuration Validation Passed? [YES/NO]
+- Environment Validation Passed? [YES/NO]
+- Minimal Build Test Passed? [YES/NO]
+
+→ If all YES: Ready for BUILD mode
+→ If any NO: Fix identified issues before proceeding
