 ## Mission
 
-Write and update feature.json files for project-level (multi-app), application-level (master), and module-level documents. Handle progressive enrichment of features as they move through analysis phases, manage versioning for refactoring, and enforce schema consistency.

 **Operations:**
 
-1. **merge** - Deep merge data into existing section
-   ```javascript
-   // Example: Add new entities to analysis.entities without rewriting entire analysis
-   enrichSectionIncremental({
-     featureId: "FEAT-001",
-     section: "analysis",

-     data: [
-       { name: "NewEntity", description: "...", attributes: [...] }
-     ]
-   })
-   // Result: analysis.entities now has existing entities + NewEntity
-   ```
-
+1. **merge** - Deep merge data into thematic file
 2. **append** - Append item to an array
-   ```javascript
-   // Example: Add a single business rule without rewriting all rules
-   enrichSectionIncremental({

-     section: "analysis",
-     operation: "append",
-     path: "businessRules",

-
-3. **update** - Update specific field in section
-   ```javascript

-   enrichSectionIncremental({
-     featureId: "FEAT-001",
-     section: "modules",
-     operation: "update",

-     data: "handed-off"
-   })
-   ```
-
-4. **delete** - Remove item from section
-   ```javascript
-   // Example: Remove a specific entity
-   enrichSectionIncremental({
-     featureId: "FEAT-001",
-     section: "analysis",
-     operation: "delete",
-     path: "entities[2]"  // Delete third entity
-   })
-   ```
+3. **update** - Update specific field in thematic file
+4. **delete** - Remove item from thematic file
 
 **Process:**
-1. Find and read feature.json (use findFeature if given ID)
-2. Navigate to the specified section
-3. Apply the incremental operation:
-   - **merge**: Deep merge arrays (append unique items), shallow merge objects
-   - **append**: Push item to array at path
-   - **update**: Set value at path
-   - **delete**: Remove item at path
-4. Update metadata.updatedAt with current timestamp
-5. Update metadata.updatedBy with agent name
-6. Write back with pretty-print (2-space indent)

+7. Validate schema before writing
+8. **Cross-Reference Validation:** Same rules as enrichSection
+9. Return confirmation with operation summary and file size
 
 **File Size Management:**
-- Before write: Check if file would exceed 100KB
-- If > 100KB: Display WARNING with recommendation to split into smaller operations
-- If > 500KB: BLOCKING ERROR - file too large, must use smaller chunks
-- Track cumulative file size growth across operations
-
-**Advantages over enrichSection:**
-- 50-70% reduction in tokens for large sections
-- Avoids "file too large" errors by updating incrementally
-- Allows progressive enrichment without reading/writing entire sections
-- Better performance for repeated updates (e.g., module loop)
-
-**Use Cases:**
-- Adding entities one-by-one during module specification
-- Updating module status in master without rewriting all modules
-- Appending business rules progressively
-- Updating handoff sections module-by-module

-2. **DETECT FORBIDDEN:** If any FORBIDDEN field found → attempt AUTO-MAP first
-3. **AUTO-MAP:** Rename known mismatches (e.g., `actor` → `primaryActor`, `rule` → `name`+`statement`)
-4. **REJECT:** If FORBIDDEN field found with no AUTO-MAP rule → BLOCK write, return error listing violations

+- Update hash after EVERY write to thematic file
+- Hash is MD5 of file contents (not formatted JSON, just raw bytes)
+- Missing hash = file was never written (OPTIONAL file, OK to skip)
+- Mismatch detected = file was modified externally (log warning, optionally restore from hash)

 2. **Always validate before write** - run schema checks, return validation errors clearly
-3. **Section replacement is atomic** - when enriching a section, replace the entire section (not individual fields within it)

+4. **Never deep-merge at file level** - accept the file data as-is from the caller
+5. **Preserve all other thematic files** - when writing one thematic file, all others remain unchanged
 6. **Pretty-print JSON** - use 2-space indentation
 7. **Timestamp management** - always set metadata.updatedAt to current ISO timestamp on write
 8. **Idempotency** - calling the same operation twice with same data should produce same result
-9. **File size management** - check file size before write, use incremental operations for large files
+9. **Hash updates** - calculate and store MD5 hash for every thematic file write

-### Operation Selection Guide
-
-| Scenario | Recommended Operation | Reason |
-|----------|----------------------|--------|
-| First-time section write | `enrichSection` | No existing data, full write needed |
-| Module loop (3+ iterations) | `enrichSectionIncremental` | Avoids rewriting same data multiple times |
-| Large sections (>20KB) | `enrichSectionIncremental` | Reduces token usage by 50-70% |
-| File size > 100KB | `enrichSectionIncremental` (REQUIRED) | Prevents file size bloat |
-| Single field update | `enrichSectionIncremental` with `update` | Most efficient for targeted changes |
-
-### Monitoring & Reporting
-
-After EVERY write, report file size status:
-
-```
-✓ feature.json written successfully
-  Path: docs/business/HumanResources/Projects/business-analyse/v1.0/feature.json
-  Size: 87.3 KB (↑ 12.1 KB from previous)
-  Status: ⚠ Approaching 100KB threshold
-  Recommendation: Use enrichSectionIncremental for remaining modules
-```
-
-### Splitting Large Files (Advanced)
-
-If a module feature.json exceeds 500KB despite incremental operations:
-
-1. **Split specification section** into separate files:
-   - `specification-entities.json` (entities, relationships)
-   - `specification-rules.json` (business rules, validations)
-   - `specification-ui.json` (wireframes, sections, navigation)
-
-2. **Update feature.json** with file references:
-   ```json
-   {
-     "specification": {
-       "$ref": "./specification-entities.json",
-       "$ref2": "./specification-rules.json",
-       "$ref3": "./specification-ui.json"
-     }
-   }
-   ```
