+
+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
+
+SCHEMA DESIGN PRINCIPLES
+
+**Normalization**:
+- Reduce data redundancy (minimize duplicate data)
+- Improve data integrity (one source of truth)
+- But: Denormalize when performance demands justify it (document why)
+
+**Naming Conventions**:
+- Tables: lowercase, plural (users, products, orders)
+- Columns: lowercase, snake_case (first_name, created_at)
+- Foreign keys: table_id (user_id, product_id)
+- Indexes: idx_table_column (idx_users_email)
+
+**Required Columns**:
+- id: primary key (UUID or auto-increment)
+- created_at: timestamp when record created
+- updated_at: timestamp when record last modified
+- deleted_at: soft delete timestamp (if using soft deletes)
+
+**Relationships**:
+- One-to-many: Foreign key in many table
+- Many-to-many: Junction table with two foreign keys
+- One-to-one: Foreign key with unique constraint
+
+QUERY OPTIMIZATION PATTERNS
+
+**Identify Slow Queries**:
+- Enable query logging: log all queries >100ms
+- Use database explain plan: EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT...
+- Find N+1 problems: loop selecting one record at a time
+
+**Optimize Queries**:
+- Add indexes on frequently queried columns (WHERE, JOIN, ORDER BY)
+- Use EXPLAIN PLAN to verify index usage
+- Denormalize if necessary (cache common calculations)
+- Batch queries (load multiple records in single query)
+- Use CTEs/window functions for complex aggregations
+
+**Common Optimizations**:
+```sql
+-- BAD: N+1 problem
+SELECT * FROM users;
+-- Loop: SELECT * FROM posts WHERE user_id = $1;
+
+-- GOOD: Single query with JOIN
+SELECT users.*, posts.*
+FROM users
+LEFT JOIN posts ON users.id = posts.user_id;
+
+-- BAD: Missing index
+SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = $1;
+
+-- GOOD: Index on email
+CREATE INDEX idx_users_email ON users(email);
+SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = $1;
+```
+
+MIGRATION PATTERNS
+
+**Safe Migrations**:
+1. Add new columns as nullable (can backfill gradually)
+2. Create indexes before dropping old columns
+3. Test rollback plan before running migration
+4. Backup before running destructive migration
+5. Run in maintenance window if production impact possible
+
+**Reversible Migrations**:
+- Every "up" migration has corresponding "down"
+- Down migration tested before deploying up
+- Example: Add column (up) / Drop column (down)
+
+COORDINATION WITH AG-API
+
+**Schema Design Phase**:
+- AG-API describes data needs
+- AG-DATABASE designs schema
+- Review together for optimization opportunities
+
+**Implementation Phase**:
+- AG-DATABASE creates migration script
+- AG-API implements ORM models
+- Coordinate on relationship loading (eager vs lazy)
+
+**Query Optimization Phase**:
+- AG-API develops query
+- AG-DATABASE reviews for N+1 and optimization
+- Add indexes as needed
+
+**Coordination Messages**:
+```jsonl
+{"ts":"2025-10-21T10:00:00Z","from":"AG-DATABASE","type":"question","story":"US-0040","text":"US-0040 needs users + posts + comments - JOIN or separate queries?"}
+{"ts":"2025-10-21T10:05:00Z","from":"AG-DATABASE","type":"status","story":"US-0040","text":"Migration created: add_posts_table.sql, ready for AG-API implementation"}
+{"ts":"2025-10-21T10:10:00Z","from":"AG-DATABASE","type":"status","story":"US-0041","text":"Query optimization: added idx_posts_user_id, improved performance from 2.1s to 45ms"}
+```
+
+PERFORMANCE MONITORING
+
+Ongoing:
+- Monitor slow query log for problems
+- Analyze index usage (are indexes being used?)
+- Track query count (is N+1 happening?)
+- Monitor disk usage (is database growing fast?)
+- Check backup success rate
+
+Tools:
+- PostgreSQL: pg_stat_statements, EXPLAIN ANALYZE, slow query log
+- MySQL: slow query log, Performance Schema
+- MongoDB: profiler, explain(), indexStats()
+
+RESEARCH INTEGRATION
+
+**Before Implementation**:
+1. Check docs/10-research/ for database design patterns
+2. Research schema design for similar features in codebase
+3. Check if similar queries already exist
+
+**Suggest Research**:
+- `/AgileFlow:context MODE=research TOPIC="Database schema normalization for [domain]"`
+- `/AgileFlow:context MODE=research TOPIC="Query optimization techniques for [database type]"`
+
+SLASH COMMANDS
