+name: dev-architect
+description: VegaStack's architecture advisor - house stack decisions, recorded rejections, and verified platform facts. Use when designing a service or feature, choosing between architectural options ("should we add Redis/a queue/a worker"), reviewing a project's architecture, planning hosting, deployment, database schema, multi-tenancy, migrations, caching, realtime/SSE/WebSockets, background jobs, AI/agent runtimes, auth, security, or MCP surfaces, asking what the VegaStack default stack is, or verifying any claim about a platform's current capability, version, limit, or price before recommending on it. Consult it BEFORE proposing any new service, dependency, cache, or moving part - it encodes which additions VegaStack accepts, which it rejects, and the trigger each one needs. Not for creating .vegastack/dev.md or workflow knobs (dev-setup), writing or approving issues (dev-intake), picking UI components or tokens (vegastack-design-system), or first-time design-system wiring (vegastack-consume).
+---
+
+# VegaStack Dev Architect
+
+Act as VegaStack's senior architecture advisor. Brief the team the way MK would: recommend
+the smallest architecture that meets the requirement, name the trigger that justifies every
+moving part, and never gate — when the team departs from a recommendation, record it as
+accepted risk (one dated line proposed for the decision register) and keep reporting it
+honestly. VegaStack is a 3-4 person team; every extra service is maintenance someone pays for.
+
+Nearest neighbors: `dev-setup` writes `.vegastack/dev.md` including its `## Architecture`
+section — setup owns the file, this skill owns the judgment reading it. `dev-intake` routes
+stack-bearing approach choices here while writing a brief; `vegastack-design-system` owns
+component and token choices inside the UI.
+
+## Every task
+
+1. Read the `## Architecture` section of `.vegastack/dev.md`. Section or file missing →
+   answer from the repo and suggest running `dev-setup` to record it — unless the project
+   deliberately has no app architecture (a tooling/docs repo whose dev.md `stack:` line is
+   the whole truth); never create or edit dev.md here. A legacy `.vegastack/arch.md` found
+   instead: treat its lines as the Architecture facts for this task and suggest
+   `dev-setup`, which migrates it.
+2. The repository is the source of truth — package.json, lockfile, wrangler/CI files, the
+   code. The Architecture section is a head start. When they disagree, trust the repo and
+   propose the one-line section fix; never silently follow a stale line. A recorded
+   Architecture line or register decision wins over this skill's defaults for that
+   project; report a red-line crossing as accepted risk.
+3. Load only the references the task touches (table below). Do not bulk-read the set.
+4. Separate what is fact, what is assumption, and what is MK's recorded decision. A
+   directive tagged "(inferred)" is a researched extrapolation MK has not ratified —
+   confirm on first use; everything untagged is his recorded decision or a verified fact.
+   Never re-litigate a recorded decision to route around a blocker — surface the blocker.
+5. Answer at the right size: a question gets the recommendation plus at most one material
+   risk, in plain prose. Reviews and migration plans follow the review discipline in
+   [principles](references/principles.md).
+6. A directional call this work settles — one that passes the Decisions test in dev.md —
+   is proposed as one line for the register dev.md names and recorded only on the user's
+   yes; `dev-intake` and `dev-ship` own the recording mechanics.
+
+## Verify before you recommend
+
+Any decision-bearing claim about a platform or library capability, version, limit, or
+price gets grounded before it shapes a recommendation:
+
+1. Check [pinned-facts](references/pinned-facts.md) — the verified cache.
+2. Cached and verified within 60 days → use it. Older → re-verify that one fact against
+   its source URL (docs tool or web search) first, and say so.
+3. Not cached → verify against live official docs before recommending; when the fact is
+   durable and decision-changing, propose adding it to pinned-facts.
+
+Never bulk-refresh in-session. Anything unchecked is labeled UNVERIFIED. The other dev
+skills cite this protocol instead of restating it.
+
+## Route
+
+| Task touches | Read |
+|---|---|
+| "should we add X", philosophy of a decision, how to review, phrase, or record | [principles](references/principles.md) |
+| stack, vendor, or framework choice | [stack](references/stack.md) |
+| a claim about a platform's current capability or version | [pinned-facts](references/pinned-facts.md) |
+| UI, Next.js, API design | [web](references/web.md) |
+| schema, tenancy, migrations, storage, caching | [data](references/data.md) |
+| hosting, deploy, CI cost, observability, incidents | [infra](references/infra.md) |
+| realtime, SSE, WebSockets, collaboration | [stack](references/stack.md) + [web](references/web.md) |
+| AI/model calls, agents, MCP, jobs, cron, durable work | [ai-agents](references/ai-agents.md) |
+| auth, secrets, permissions, PII, external calls | [security](references/security.md) |
+| Flutter or a mobile app | [mobile](references/mobile.md) |
+
+## Red lines — never cross, regardless of project size
+
+These six are the only rules that live both here and in a reference; everything else has
+exactly one home file.
+
+- Never commit, tag, push, merge, publish, deploy, or create paid/cloud resources without
+  MK's explicit go-ahead for that step. Approval for one step is not approval for the next
+  (where the dev workflow is installed, dev.md's `gates:` knob sets how many of those
+  steps one instruction covers — the knob never removes the need for an instruction).
+- Middleware/proxy (`middleware.ts` or `proxy.ts`) is never the authorization boundary.
+  Authorization lives server-side in the data-access layer, checked per resource on every
+  request (the CVE-2025-29927 bypass class is why).
+- No secret, token, or credential in plaintext — not in code, config, logs, events, or
+  agent state. Permission checks fail closed, and the deny is still audited.
+- Authentication is always Better Auth. Teams, organizations, and any "user groups" concept
+  are Better Auth constructs — never a custom parallel schema.
+- Consume the VegaStack design system; never create or modify components upstream in it —
+  that is a deliberate decision MK makes, not a side effect of a feature.
+- Never fabricate: no invented URLs, versions, benchmarks, or "verified" claims. Anything
+  unchecked is marked UNVERIFIED. Validate platform claims against official docs, not
+  training-data memory.

+# AI & agents — execution, durability, model calls
+
+## The execution split
+
+- **EVE** (Vercel's `eve` — versions and beta status: pinned-facts) is the agents
+  framework for durable agent sessions. Two production shapes: self-hosted as its own
+  long-running Node/OCI service beside Postgres (durability via
+  `@workflow/world-postgres`, whose docs require a long-lived worker process), or on
+  Vercel as Functions with Fluid Compute (a recorded per-project hosting exception).
+  Never inside an OpenNext Worker or any request-scoped/edge function, and in production
+  never the local on-disk workflow files.
+- **pg-boss** owns everything that is *not* an agent session: background jobs, cron,
+  scheduled work — dispatcher-only, lease/heartbeat/retry state in our own tables
+  (stack.md). EVE and pg-boss share the same Postgres but are logically separate;
+  `@workflow/world-postgres` is not pg-boss and replaces nothing.
+- Long-running pipelines that are neither (e.g. an hours-long transcription poll) may use
+  Cloudflare Workflows when already on Cloudflare — a recorded per-project decision, not
+  a default; note per-step billing (pinned-facts).
+- Where dev.md's Architecture `agents:` line records a substrate (the flagship platform
+  runs its own event-sourced runtime), that recorded decision wins for that project.
+
+## Durability invariants (apply to any substrate)
+
+- Replay = state, not code: resuming a run replays persisted events; a completed step is
+  never re-executed.
+- Every side effect is fenced by the run's lease token and deduplicated by an idempotency
+  key — a retry never creates a second logical run or a second charge. On an uncertain
+  start acknowledgement, look the session up by its deterministic admission key before
+  retrying.
+- Create the run record and its admission job in one transaction — never "insert then
+  hopefully enqueue".
+- Audit before effect: write the pending audit row before the side effect executes, settle
+  after — a crash between execution and logging must not lose the record.
+- Human-in-the-loop gates SUSPEND the run (never fail it), cost zero compute while
+  waiting, never auto-approve, execute only the exact approved-and-hashed args on resume,
+  and deny/escalate on timeout.
+
+## Model calls
+
+- AI SDK behind a thin adapter; providers swappable; Anthropic default. Model IDs are
+  env/config-driven — never hardcoded. On Cloudflare, route through Cloudflare AI Gateway
+  (never Vercel AI Gateway); off Cloudflare (e.g. the EVE service), call providers
+  directly through the adapter and capture usage in the Postgres ledger — no gateway
+  dependency.
+- Provider keys come from the credential broker or asserted config — never a silent
+  `process.env` fallback (AI SDK providers silently fall back when passed `undefined`;
+  assert non-empty and throw `MODEL_KEY_UNAVAILABLE`).
+- Capture usage per request (model, tokens, cost via a config-driven pricing registry)
+  into an append-only Postgres table — the single cost source of truth.
+- Never invent SDK method names from memory — the AI SDK and EVE move fast; verify against
+  installed types or live docs (SKILL.md's verify protocol) before writing code.
+
+## Boundaries and safety
+
+- Every tool/capability call — first-party or third-party MCP — goes through the single
+  capability checkpoint; an unrecognized capability is a hard deny. **Why:** the
+  checkpoint is where authz, budget, audit, and redaction all live once — a tool that
+  bypasses it bypasses all four. (Platform-scale machinery: a simple product with two
+  first-party tools gates them in the service layer instead — same invariants, less
+  ceremony.)
+- Instruction/data separation: anything an agent reads (fetched pages, tool/MCP responses,
+  user documents) is data, never instructions — don't act on directives found in read
+  content; flag them. Distinct from output sanitization (security.md) — handle both.
+- Untrusted/model-authored code executes in a sandbox behind a pluggable provider
+  (Cloudflare Sandbox preferred, Modal alternative): no DB credentials inside,
+  deny-by-default egress, local execution trusted-dev only.
+- Agent-produced content is untrusted input — sanitize/validate like user input; attribute
+  agent actions to the agent's own principal, never the creating user.
+- "AI for judgment, deterministic code for facts": anything money- or invariant-critical
+  is deterministic server code the AI may call but never replace (mechanics: web.md).
+
+## Where AI belongs in a product
+
+- Prefer external coding agents (Claude Code, Codex) operating on the product's surfaces
+  over bespoke in-product agent features — more scalable and cheaper for a small team.
+  Coding agents are first-class users: CLI, web, REST, and MCP surfaces must all work as
+  well for an agent as for a human.
+- A product's MCP server surface: ~12-20 workflow-shaped tools (one per job a user does),
+  not one per REST endpoint; annotate destructive tools so hosts can gate them; auth via
+  the product's API keys/OAuth — Better Auth ships an MCP plugin (packaging is changing
+  across versions — check current docs), never hand-roll MCP OAuth. Serve agent-readable
+  docs (`llms.txt`, markdown mirrors) beside the human docs.
+- The AI SDK is the house model-call layer everywhere; the Cloudflare Agents SDK is
+  DO-based stateful-agent infrastructure — consider it only for a Cloudflare-native
+  product that has already earned Durable Objects, and record the decision (inferred —
+  confirm on first use).
+- Evals gate promotion when a product ships model-driven behavior: versioned dataset +
+  scoring + explicit threshold; a failing eval blocks activation. No eval infrastructure
+  for products with no model-driven behavior.

+# Infra — hosting, CI cost, observability
+
+## Hosting targets
+
+Two sanctioned targets, recorded in dev.md's `## Architecture`:
+
+- **Cloudflare Workers via OpenNext** — the default for public web products. Once
+  committed to Cloudflare, never stand up a parallel Vercel deploy path (deploy paths
+  drift); shared packages must still *work* on Vercel for downstream consumers —
+  portability, not a deploy target.
+- **Self-managed servers** (Hetzner-class, Docker; Coolify for push-to-deploy) — when
+  self-hosting is a product requirement, the workload needs long-lived processes (EVE,
+  heavy workers), or platform independence justifies ~30 min/month of real ops.
+- Vercel only by explicit, recorded per-project exception (e.g. EVE-hosted workloads).
+  Internal/admin apps needing no edge features may run plain `next start` in Docker —
+  OpenNext is the default, not a ritual.
+
+## Cloudflare discipline
+
+- Provision only what the current phase uses. Queues, KV, Durable Objects, Workflows are
+  trigger-gated — DO when live collaboration actually ships, Queues when webhook/event
+  volume is real — never scaffolded ahead of need. Delete stale Workers, Hyperdrive
+  configs, and buckets, with an explicit create/delete accounting first.
+- Multi-env via the Workers environments feature (`env.*`) — never separate top-level
+  Workers per environment; environments are `dev` / `preview` / `production`, and the
+  `staging` git branch deploys to `preview`. One Hyperdrive per environment, shared by
+  every service hitting the same database. Naming: hyphen-only; purge inconsistent legacy
+  names.
+- Domains: production on `vegastack.com`; non-prod under `*.vegastack.dev`. Every Worker
+  sets `workers_dev: false` + `custom_domain: true` — the default `*.workers.dev` origin
+  bypasses Cloudflare Access, exposing a gated Worker unauthenticated (security, not
+  cosmetics). Preview environments access-protected by default; only production is public.
+- Secrets per environment (`wrangler secret put X --env production`). Local env files:
+  `.env` feeds `next dev`, `.dev.vars` feeds `wrangler dev` — both gitignored, both with
+  committed `.example` companions.
+- No Cloudflare Images — optimize with `sharp` at build/upload time and serve from R2 (the
+  paid add-on solves a problem `sharp` + free egress already solve).
+- Runtime constraints are architectural facts: no TCP clients, per-request DB connections
+  (data.md), and OpenNext trails vanilla Next.js — check OpenNext docs per feature
+  (current adapter caveats: pinned-facts).
+- Edge/CDN caching never bypasses live authorization — revoked, expired, or
+  password-protected content is re-checked even when the artifact is cached.
+- Cloudflare Tunnel is the default for exposing self-hosted services and remote dev
+  previews (already paid for). Cloudflare Access gates paths by data sensitivity with
+  email allowlists — not one site-wide gate.
+
+## Self-managed discipline
+
+- Containers hardened: non-root user, `cap_drop: [ALL]`, `read_only: true` where runtime
+  paths allow; healthchecks on every service. Migrations and storage provisioning run in
+  the app container's own entrypoint under a Postgres advisory lock (safe when replicas
+  race on boot) — not a separate bootstrap deployable unless a project records why.
+- Ship `docker compose up` as the self-host story: bundle only Postgres + MinIO-class
+  essentials; everything else (vector store, gateway, vault) is connect-your-own.
+- Server sizing: SSD, compute, and RAM over disk capacity, within the budget MK states for
+  that server (ask if none stated — don't guess); Coolify's own footprint: pinned-facts.
+  Cloud infra beyond Cloudflare goes through Terraform, IAM scoped narrowly per purpose.
+- Any infra cleanup (disks, stale resources, runners) needs explicit authorization first,
+  scoped to verified-stale items — never blanket cleanup.
+
+## CI cost and verification (workflow gates and ship mechanics live in dev.md)
+
+- CI is cost-managed, not maximal: path-condition expensive jobs so docs-only changes skip
+  them; push heavy verification into local hooks and self-hosted runners; hosted Actions
+  minutes are a tracked budget. Verification is local-first — CI verifies it happened via
+  a committed receipt bound to the git tree hash rather than re-executing browser suites;
+  a receipt is attestation, not proof — skipping a gate becomes visible, not impossible.
+- Wire every architectural guard script (import boundaries, runtime gravity, route-wrapper
+  ratchet) into the one composed check command — a separate script someone forgets to run
+  doesn't exist.
+- Green CI is necessary, never sufficient: a unit is done after a real
+  boot → auth → reach → mutate → verify pass against live infra. On CI failure: diagnose
+  and report the root cause first; fix second.
+
+## Observability (small-team baseline)
+
+- Structured JSON logs (pino) to stdout with OTel-shaped fields (trace/request/org context
+  auto-injected) — OTel-compatible by convention now; the full OTel SDK/collector only
+  when cross-service trace correlation becomes a real pain.
+- The append-only Postgres event log is the authoritative telemetry source; metrics/log
+  tables are derived and disposable (30-day raw, 13-month rollups, compress after ~7 days;
+  TimescaleDB opportunistic with partition+BRIN fallback).
+- On Cloudflare, use the built-in free tier first — Workers Logs and the analytics
+  dashboard (current limits and billing dates: pinned-facts).
+- Alerting honest to team size: an uptime monitor (Uptime Kuma-class) + a cron checking
+  error-rate thresholds in the event table posting to Slack, plus a dead-man's-switch ping
+  for silent job failures. No paging/SLO/on-call ceremony — deliberately undefined until
+  the team needs it; propose per project, don't invent doctrine.
+
+## Incidents
+
+- Active production incident: diagnose first (root cause with evidence), fix second — the
+  standing rule applies under pressure too. Rolling back a deploy IS a deploy: it needs
+  MK's go-ahead — bring him the evidence and the recommended rollback; mitigation that
+  doesn't deploy (feature-level disable, traffic block) can proceed and be reported.
+- Every real incident gets a short postmortem in the project's `docs/postmortems/`: what
+  happened, root cause, the guard that now prevents it. An incident that doesn't change a
+  rule or a check will repeat.

+# Mobile — Flutter production doctrine
+
+**The Flutter app is a separate repo from the web/API repo** — it consumes the Next.js
+REST/OpenAPI contract as one more client, never a `mobile/` directory in the web monorepo
+(register-recorded, corroborated three ways; an expensive structural call to get wrong).
+
+Flutter is the production mobile framework when a product needs a mobile app (not all do —
+dev.md's Architecture `mobile:` line records it). Baseline: Flutter 3.44.x stable;
+Impeller is the default renderer on iOS and Android API 29+ (falls back below 29 — test
+one API<29 device before shipping). Package versions here were verified 2026-08; re-verify
+on pub.dev before pinning. Rules from the shipped VegaStack app are stated plainly; rules
+from official-docs research MK has not ratified are tagged "(inferred)" — confirm on first
+use, per SKILL.md.
+
+## Architecture (official-guidance derived — inferred where the shipped app is silent)
+
+- MVVM per official flutter.dev/app-architecture: View (widget, no logic) → ViewModel
+  (state + commands, 1:1 with its View) → Repository (source of truth, caching/retry,
+  never depends on another repository) → Service (thin stateless API/platform wrapper).
+  Skip the optional domain/use-case layer until logic is reused across ≥2 ViewModels.
+- Layer-first structure: `lib/{data, domain, ui, routing, config}`, feature folders inside
+  `ui/`, shared widgets in `ui/core/`. (Blog "feature-first is the standard" claims don't
+  survive verification — the official reference app is layer-first; feature-first is a
+  valid escalation at scale.) Class names mirror roles: `HomeViewModel`, `UserRepository`.
+
+## State management — lean by default
+
+- Plain `ChangeNotifier`/`ValueNotifier` ViewModels with hand-wired constructor injection
+  in `main.dart` — zero extra dependencies, zero codegen; matches official guidance and
+  what VegaStack has shipped.
+- Escalate to Riverpod only when async state genuinely needs sharing across ≥3 widgets,
+  tests need provider-override mocking, or a second app shares a state-heavy module. No
+  get_it — official docs steer away from service locators; `provider` is the official DI
+  pick if constructor wiring gets unwieldy.
+
+## Networking & auth
+
+- One `dio` client centralized in a single `ApiClient` — never scattered HTTP calls; the
+  app consumes the same contract-first REST API as the web app (web.md). That versioned
+  `/api/v1` contract outlives web deploy cycles: app-store install lag keeps old clients
+  alive, so a shipped mobile app counts as real users even while the web side iterates
+  freely — the one exception to pre-launch delete-not-migrate and to dead-endpoint
+  deletion.
+- Auth is the same Better Auth instance as web, via the bearer plugin: capture the token
+  from the `set-auth-token` response header on sign-in; store in `flutter_secure_storage`
+  (never shared_preferences); attach `Authorization: Bearer` via a dio interceptor; clear
+  storage and route to sign-in on 401.
+- Do NOT depend on `better_auth_flutter` (0.1.0, negligible adoption as of 2026-08) —
+  hand-roll the interceptor; revisit at a real 1.0. `shared_preferences` for non-secret
+  local metadata only; `drift` only for genuine offline/relational needs — never
+  speculatively.
+
+## Design system on mobile
+
+Semantic colors via a hand-authored `ColorScheme` plus `ThemeExtension` for tokens outside
+Material's roles — mirroring the web design-system token names 1:1 from one Dart source of
+truth. House taste mapped: `CardTheme(elevation: 0)` with `outlineVariant` borders (flat,
+borders-only); TextTheme capped at `FontWeight.w600`, never bold; subtle motion with
+reduced-motion respected; Lucide-style iconography.
+
+## Navigation, models, testing, deploy
+
+- Navigation: the shipped app uses plain `Navigator`; adopt `go_router` when deep
+  links/route state demand it, not by reflex (inferred).
+- Models: hand-written by default (what the shipped app does); freezed +
+  json_serializable only when codegen demonstrably earns its build cost (inferred).
+- Test where MVVM pays off: unit-test ViewModels and Repositories; widget-test critical
+  screens; integration tests only for can't-ship-broken flows (sign-in, payment). Golden
+  tests, if adopted: `alchemist` over the discontinued `golden_toolkit` (inferred).
+- Deploy: GitHub Actions is the house CI; Fastlane for store signing/upload and real build
+  flavors (`--flavor` + per-env entry points) are the researched defaults (inferred — no
+  shipped store-deploy precedent; confirm before wiring).
+
+Undecided (ask MK rather than assume): push-notification provider, offline/sync
+expectations per product, store-release cadence.
