+
+SESSION HARNESS & VERIFICATION PROTOCOL (v2.25.0+)
+
+**CRITICAL**: Session Harness System prevents agents from breaking functionality, claiming work is done when tests fail, or losing context between sessions.
+
+**PRE-IMPLEMENTATION VERIFICATION**
+
+Before starting work on ANY story:
+
+1. **Check Session Harness**:
+   - Look for `docs/00-meta/environment.json`
+   - If exists → Session harness is active ✅
+   - If missing → Suggest `/AgileFlow:session-init` to user
+
+2. **Test Baseline Check**:
+   - Read `test_status` from story in `docs/09-agents/status.json`
+   - If `"passing"` → Proceed with implementation ✅
+   - If `"failing"` → STOP. Cannot start new work with failing baseline ⚠️
+   - If `"not_run"` → Run `/AgileFlow:verify` first to establish baseline
+   - If `"skipped"` → Check why tests are skipped, document override decision
+
+3. **Environment Verification** (if session harness active):
+   - Run `/AgileFlow:resume` to verify environment and load context
+   - Check for regressions (tests were passing, now failing)
+   - If regression detected → Fix before proceeding with new story
+
+**DURING IMPLEMENTATION**
+
+1. **Incremental Testing**:
+   - Run tests frequently during development (not just at end)
+   - Fix test failures immediately (don't accumulate debt)
+   - Use `/AgileFlow:verify US-XXXX` to check specific story tests
+
+2. **Real-time Status Updates**:
+   - Update `test_status` in status.json as tests are written/fixed
+   - Append bus messages when tests pass milestone checkpoints
+
+**POST-IMPLEMENTATION VERIFICATION**
+
+After completing ANY changes:
+
+1. **Run Full Test Suite**:
+   - Execute `/AgileFlow:verify US-XXXX` to run tests for the story
+   - Check exit code (0 = success required for completion)
+   - Review test output for warnings or flaky tests
+
+2. **Update Test Status**:
+   - `/AgileFlow:verify` automatically updates `test_status` in status.json
+   - Verify the update was successful
+   - Expected: `test_status: "passing"` with test results metadata
+
+3. **Regression Check**:
+   - Compare test results to baseline (initial test status)
+   - If new failures introduced → Fix before marking complete
+   - If test count decreased → Investigate deleted tests
+
+4. **Story Completion Requirements**:
+   - Story can ONLY be marked `"in-review"` if `test_status: "passing"` ✅
+   - If tests failing → Story remains `"in-progress"` until fixed ⚠️
+   - No exceptions unless documented override (see below)
+
+**OVERRIDE PROTOCOL** (Use with extreme caution)
+
+If tests are failing but you need to proceed:
+
+1. **Document Override Decision**:
+   - Append bus message with full explanation (include agent ID, story ID, reason, tracking issue)
+
+2. **Update Story Dev Agent Record**:
+   - Add note to "Issues Encountered" section explaining override
+   - Link to tracking issue for the failing test
+   - Document risk and mitigation plan
+
+3. **Create Follow-up Story**:
+   - If test failure is real but out of scope → Create new story
+   - Link dependency in status.json
+   - Notify user of the override and follow-up story
+
+**BASELINE MANAGEMENT**
+
+After completing major milestones (epic complete, sprint end):
+
+1. **Establish Baseline**:
+   - Suggest `/AgileFlow:baseline "Epic EP-XXXX complete"` to user
+   - Requires: All tests passing, git working tree clean
+   - Creates git tag + metadata for reset point
+
+2. **Baseline Benefits**:
+   - Known-good state to reset to if needed
+   - Regression detection reference point
+   - Deployment readiness checkpoint
+   - Sprint/epic completion marker
+
+**INTEGRATION WITH WORKFLOW**
+
+The verification protocol integrates into the standard workflow:
+
+1. **Before creating feature branch**: Run pre-implementation verification
+2. **Before marking in-review**: Run post-implementation verification
+3. **After merge**: Verify baseline is still passing
+
+**ERROR HANDLING**
+
+If `/AgileFlow:verify` fails:
+- Read error output carefully
+- Check if test command is configured in `docs/00-meta/environment.json`
+- Verify test dependencies are installed
+- If project has no tests → Suggest `/AgileFlow:session-init` to set up testing
+- If tests are misconfigured → Coordinate with AG-CI
+
+**SESSION RESUME PROTOCOL**
+
+When resuming work after context loss:
+
+1. **Run Resume Command**: `/AgileFlow:resume` loads context automatically
+2. **Check Session State**: Review `docs/09-agents/session-state.json`
+3. **Verify Test Status**: Ensure no regressions occurred
+4. **Load Previous Insights**: Check Dev Agent Record from previous stories
+
+**KEY PRINCIPLES**
+
+- **Tests are the contract**: Passing tests = feature works as specified
+- **Fail fast**: Catch regressions immediately, not at PR review
+- **Context preservation**: Session harness maintains progress across context windows
+- **Transparency**: Document all override decisions fully
+- **Accountability**: test_status field creates audit trail
+
+OBSERVABILITY PILLARS
+
+**Metrics** (Quantitative):
+- Response time (latency)
+- Throughput (requests/second)
+- Error rate (% failures)
+- Resource usage (CPU, memory, disk)
+- Business metrics (signups, transactions, revenue)
+
+**Logs** (Detailed events):
+- Application logs (errors, warnings, info)
+- Access logs (HTTP requests)
+- Audit logs (who did what)
+- Debug logs (development only)
+- Structured logs (JSON, easily searchable)
+
+**Traces** (Request flow):
+- Distributed tracing (request path through system)
+- Latency breakdown (where is time spent)
+- Error traces (stack traces)
+- Dependencies (which services called)
+
+**Alerts** (Proactive notification):
+- Threshold-based (metric > limit)
+- Anomaly-based (unusual pattern)
+- Composite (multiple conditions)
+- Routing (who to notify)
+
+MONITORING TOOLS
+
+**Metrics**:
+- Prometheus: Metrics collection and alerting
+- Grafana: Dashboard and visualization
+- Datadog: APM and monitoring platform
+- CloudWatch: AWS monitoring
+
+**Logging**:
+- ELK Stack: Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana
+- Datadog: Centralized log management
+- CloudWatch: AWS logging
+- Splunk: Enterprise logging
+
+**Tracing**:
+- Jaeger: Distributed tracing
+- Zipkin: Open-source tracing
+- Datadog APM: Application performance monitoring
+
+**Alerting**:
+- PagerDuty: Incident alerting
+- Opsgenie: Alert management
+- Prometheus Alertmanager: Open-source alerting
+
+SLO AND ERROR BUDGETS
+
+**SLO Definition**:
+- Availability: 99.9% uptime (8.7 hours downtime/year)
+- Latency: 95% requests <200ms
+- Error rate: <0.1% failed requests
+
+**Error Budget**:
+- SLO: 99.9% availability
+- Error budget: 0.1% = 8.7 hours downtime/year
+- Use budget for deployments, experiments, etc.
+- Exhausted budget = deployment freeze until recovery
+
+HEALTH CHECKS
+
+**Endpoint Health Checks**:
+- `/health` endpoint returns current health
+- Check dependencies (database, cache, external services)
+- Return 200 if healthy, 503 if unhealthy
+- Include metrics (response time, database latency)
+
+**Example Health Check**:
+```javascript
+app.get('/health', async (req, res) => {
+  const database = await checkDatabase();
+  const cache = await checkCache();
+  const external = await checkExternalService();
+
+  const healthy = database && cache && external;
+  const status = healthy ? 200 : 503;
+
+  res.status(status).json({
+    status: healthy ? 'healthy' : 'degraded',
+    timestamp: new Date(),
+    checks: { database, cache, external }
+  });
+});
+```
+
+INCIDENT RESPONSE RUNBOOKS
+
+**Create runbooks for common incidents**:
+- Database down
+- API endpoint slow
+- High error rate
+- Memory leak
+- Cache failure
+
+**Runbook Format**:
+```
+## [Incident Type]
+
+**Detection**:
+- Alert: [which alert fires]
+- Symptoms: [what users see]
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+1. Check [metric 1]
+2. Check [metric 2]
+3. Verify [dependency]
+
+**Resolution**:
+1. [First step]
+2. [Second step]
+3. [Verification]
+
+**Post-Incident**:
+- Incident report
+- Root cause analysis
+- Preventive actions
+```
+
+STRUCTURED LOGGING
+
+**Log Format** (structured JSON):
+```json
+{
+  "timestamp": "2025-10-21T10:00:00Z",
+  "level": "error",
+  "service": "api",
+  "message": "Database connection failed",
+  "error": "ECONNREFUSED",
+  "request_id": "req-123",
+  "user_id": "user-456",
+  "trace_id": "trace-789",
+  "metadata": {
+    "database": "production",
+    "retry_count": 3
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Log Levels**:
+- ERROR: Service unavailable, data loss
+- WARN: Degraded behavior, unexpected condition
+- INFO: Important state changes, deployments
+- DEBUG: Detailed diagnostic information (dev only)
+
