+
+## Engineering Persona
+
+- **Senior Engineer mindset**: check edge cases, null/undefined, race conditions, and error states.
+- **TDD first**: write or update tests before implementation when the story calls for it.
+- **Stuck rule**: if the same test fails 2+ iterations, stop, summarise failed attempts, reassess approach.
+- **Never push to remote** — the human reviews and pushes.

-- Schema: `src/config/schema.ts` — no hardcoded flags or credentials
+- Schema: `src/config/schema.ts` — no hardcoded flags or credentials anywhere
 
-## Design Principles
+## Workflow Protocol
 
-- **`runner.ts` is a thin orchestrator.** Never add new concerns — extract into focused sub-modules.
-- **`src/verification/` is the single test execution layer.** Don't duplicate test invocation in pipeline stages.
-- **Closures over values** for long-lived handlers (crash handlers, timers) — prevents stale state capture.
-- **New agent adapters** go in `src/agents/adapters/<name>.ts` — never inline in runner or existing adapters.
+1. **Explore first**: use `grep`, `cat`, and solograph MCP to understand context before writing code.
+2. **Plan complex tasks**: for multi-file changes, write a short plan before implementing.
+3. **Implement in small chunks**: one logical concern per commit.
 
-## Rules
+## Code Intelligence (Solograph MCP)
 
-Detailed coding standards, test architecture, and forbidden patterns are in `.claude/rules/`. Claude Code loads these automatically.
+Use **solograph** MCP tools on-demand — do not use `web_search` or `kb_search`.
 
+| Tool | When |
+|:-----|:-----|
+| `project_code_search` | Find existing patterns before writing new code |
+| `codegraph_explain` | Architecture overview before tackling unfamiliar areas |
+| `codegraph_query` | Dependency/impact analysis (Cypher) |
+| `project_code_reindex` | After creating or deleting source files |
 
-## Code Intelligence (Solograph MCP)
+## Coding Standards & Forbidden Patterns
+
+Full rules in `.claude/rules/` (loaded automatically):

-| Tool | When to use |
-|:-----|:------------|
-| `project_code_search` | Find existing patterns, symbols, or implementations before writing new code |
-| `codegraph_explain` | Get architecture overview of nax before tackling unfamiliar areas |
-| `codegraph_query` | Cypher queries — dependency analysis, impact analysis, hub files |
-| `codegraph_stats` | Quick graph stats (file/symbol counts) |
-| `codegraph_shared` | Find packages shared across projects |
-| `session_search` | Search prior Claude Code session history for relevant context |
-| `project_info` | Project registry info |
-| `project_code_reindex` | Reindex after creating or deleting source files, or major refactors |

-Single source of truth: VPS solograph instance (Mac01 tunnels to VPS — same data either way).
-## IMPORTANT
-
-- Do NOT push to remote — let the human review and push.
-- Never hardcode API keys — agents use their own auth from env.
-- Agent adapters spawn external processes — always handle timeouts and cleanup.

 - [x] ~~**BUG-038:** `smart-runner` over-matching when global defaults change. Fixed by FEAT-010 (v0.21.0) — per-attempt `storyGitRef` baseRef tracking; `git diff <baseRef>..HEAD` prevents cross-story file pollution.~~
 - [x] ~~**BUG-043:** Scoped test command appends files instead of replacing path — `runners.ts:scoped()` concatenates `scopedTestPaths` to full-suite command, resulting in `bun test test/ --timeout=60000 /path/to/file.ts` (runs everything). Fix: use `testScoped` config with `{{files}}` template, fall back to `buildSmartTestCommand()` heuristic. **Location:** `src/verification/runners.ts:scoped()`
 - [x] ~~**BUG-044:** Scoped/full-suite test commands not logged — no visibility into what command was actually executed during verify stage. Fix: log at info level before execution.
+- [ ] **BUG-049:** Review typecheck runs on dirty working tree — false-positive pass when agent commits partial changes. If the agent stages only some files (e.g. forgets `git add types.ts`), the working tree retains the uncommitted fix and `bun run typecheck` passes — but the committed state has a type error. Discovered in routing-persistence run: RRP-003 committed `contentHash` refs in `routing.ts` without the matching `StoryRouting.contentHash` field in `types.ts`; typecheck passed because `types.ts` was locally modified but uncommitted. **Location:** `src/review/runner.ts:runCheck()`. **Fix:** Before running built-in checks, assert working tree is clean (`git diff --name-only` returns empty). If dirty, fail with "uncommitted changes detected" or log a warning and stash/restore.
+- [ ] **BUG-050:** `checkOptionalCommands` precheck uses legacy config fields — misleading "not configured" warning. Checks `config.execution.lintCommand` and `config.execution.typecheckCommand` (stale/legacy fields). Actual config uses `config.review.commands.typecheck` and `config.review.commands.lint`. Result: precheck always warns "Optional commands not configured: lint, typecheck" even when correctly configured, desensitizing operators to real warnings. **Location:** `src/precheck/checks-warnings.ts:checkOptionalCommands()`. **Fix:** Update check to resolve via the same priority chain as `review/runner.ts`: `execution.*Command` → `review.commands.*` → `package.json` scripts.
+- [ ] **BUG-052:** `console.warn` in runtime pipeline code bypasses structured JSONL logger — invisible to log consumers. `src/review/runner.ts` and `src/optimizer/index.ts` used `console.warn()` for skip/fallback events, which print to stderr but are never written to the JSONL log file. This made review stage skip decisions invisible during post-run analysis. **Location:** `src/review/runner.ts:runReview()`, `src/optimizer/index.ts:resolveOptimizer()`. **Fix:** Replace with `getSafeLogger()?.warn()`. ✅ Fixed in feat/routing-persistence.

The review runner reads only `review.commands.typecheck/lint`. Users who set `quality.commands.typecheck` get no effect. **Location:** `src/config/types.ts` (QualityConfig), `src/review/runner.ts:resolveCommand()`. **Fix:** Either (A) remove the dead fields from `QualityConfig` and update docs, or (B) consolidate — make review runner read from `quality.commands` and deprecate `review.commands`.
