-# /click-path-audit — Behavioural Flow Audit
-
-Find bugs that static code reading misses: state interaction side effects, race conditions between sequential calls, and handlers that silently undo each other.
-
-## The Problem This Solves
-
-Traditional debugging checks:
-- Does the function exist? (missing wiring)
-- Does it crash? (runtime errors)
-- Does it return the right type? (data flow)
-
-But it does NOT check:
-- **Does the final UI state match what the button label promises?**
-- **Does function B silently undo what function A just did?**
-- **Does shared state (Zustand/Redux/context) have side effects that cancel the intended action?**
-
-Real example: A "New Email" button called `setComposeMode(true)` then `selectThread(null)`. Both worked individually. But `selectThread` had a side effect resetting `composeMode: false`. The button did nothing. 54 bugs were found by systematic debugging — this one was missed.
-
----
-
-## How It Works
-
-For EVERY interactive touchpoint in the target area:
-
-```
-1. IDENTIFY the handler (onClick, onSubmit, onChange, etc.)
-2. TRACE every function call in the handler, IN ORDER
-3. For EACH function call:
-   a. What state does it READ?
-   b. What state does it WRITE?
-   c. Does it have SIDE EFFECTS on shared state?
-   d. Does it reset/clear any state as a side effect?
-4. CHECK: Does any later call UNDO a state change from an earlier call?
-5. CHECK: Is the FINAL state what the user expects from the button label?
-6. CHECK: Are there race conditions (async calls that resolve in wrong order)?
-```
-
----
-
-## Execution Steps
-
-### Step 1: Map State Stores
-
-Before auditing any touchpoint, build a side-effect map of every state store action:
-
-```
-For each Zustand store / React context in scope:
-  For each action/setter:
-    - What fields does it set?
-    - Does it RESET other fields as a side effect?
-    - Document: actionName → {sets: [...], resets: [...]}
-```
-
-This is the critical reference. The "New Email" bug was invisible without knowing that `selectThread` resets `composeMode`.
-
-**Output format:**
-```
-STORE: emailStore
-  setComposeMode(bool) → sets: {composeMode}
-  selectThread(thread|null) → sets: {selectedThread, selectedThreadId, messages, drafts, selectedDraft, summary} RESETS: {composeMode: false, composeData: null, redraftOpen: false}
-  setDraftGenerating(bool) → sets: {draftGenerating}
-  ...
-
-DANGEROUS RESETS (actions that clear state they don't own):
-  selectThread → resets composeMode (owned by setComposeMode)
-  reset → resets everything
-```
-
-### Step 2: Audit Each Touchpoint
-
-For each button/toggle/form submit in the target area:
-
-```
-TOUCHPOINT: [Button label] in [Component:line]
-  HANDLER: onClick → {
-    call 1: functionA() → sets {X: true}
-    call 2: functionB() → sets {Y: null} RESETS {X: false}  ← CONFLICT
-  }
-  EXPECTED: User sees [description of what button label promises]
-  ACTUAL: X is false because functionB reset it
-  VERDICT: BUG — [description]
-```
-
-**Check each of these bug patterns:**
-
-#### Pattern 1: Sequential Undo
-```
-handler() {
-  setState_A(true)     // sets X = true
-  setState_B(null)     // side effect: resets X = false
-}
-// Result: X is false. First call was pointless.
-```
-
-#### Pattern 2: Async Race
-```
-handler() {
-  fetchA().then(() => setState({ loading: false }))
-  fetchB().then(() => setState({ loading: true }))
-}
-// Result: final loading state depends on which resolves first
-```
-
-#### Pattern 3: Stale Closure
-```
-const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
-const handler = useCallback(() => {
-  setCount(count + 1)  // captures stale count
-  setCount(count + 1)  // same stale count — increments by 1, not 2
-}, [count])
-```
-
-#### Pattern 4: Missing State Transition
-```
-// Button says "Save" but handler only validates, never actually saves
-// Button says "Delete" but handler sets a flag without calling the API
-// Button says "Send" but the API endpoint is removed/broken
-```
-
-#### Pattern 5: Conditional Dead Path
-```
-handler() {
-  if (someState) {        // someState is ALWAYS false at this point
-    doTheActualThing()    // never reached
-  }
-}
-```
-
-#### Pattern 6: useEffect Interference
-```
-// Button sets stateX = true
-// A useEffect watches stateX and resets it to false
-// User sees nothing happen
-```
-
-### Step 3: Report
-
-For each bug found:
-
-```
-CLICK-PATH-NNN: [severity: CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW]
-  Touchpoint: [Button label] in [file:line]
-  Pattern: [Sequential Undo / Async Race / Stale Closure / Missing Transition / Dead Path / useEffect Interference]
-  Handler: [function name or inline]
-  Trace:
-    1. [call] → sets {field: value}
-    2. [call] → RESETS {field: value}  ← CONFLICT
-  Expected: [what user expects]
-  Actual: [what actually happens]
-  Fix: [specific fix]
-```

-## Scope Control
-
-This audit is expensive. Scope it appropriately:
-
-- **Full app audit:** Use when launching or after major refactor. Launch parallel agents per page.
-- **Single page audit:** Use after building a new page or after a user reports a broken button.
-- **Store-focused audit:** Use after modifying a Zustand store — audit all consumers of the changed actions.
-
-### Recommended agent split for full app:
-
-```
-Agent 1: Map ALL state stores (Step 1) — this is shared context for all other agents
-Agent 2: Dashboard (Tasks, Notes, Journal, Ideas)
-Agent 3: Chat (DanteChatColumn, JustChatPage)
-Agent 4: Emails (ThreadList, DraftArea, EmailsPage)
-Agent 5: Projects (ProjectsPage, ProjectOverviewTab, NewProjectWizard)
-Agent 6: CRM (all sub-tabs)
-Agent 7: Profile, Settings, Vault, Notifications
-Agent 8: Management Suite (all pages)
-```
-
-Agent 1 MUST complete first. Its output is input for all other agents.

-
-## When to Use
-
-- After systematic debugging finds "no bugs" but users report broken UI
-- After modifying any Zustand store action (check all callers)
-- After any refactor that touches shared state
-- Before release, on critical user flows
-- When a button "does nothing" — this is THE tool for that
-
-## When NOT to Use
-
-- For API-level bugs (wrong response shape, missing endpoint) — use systematic-debugging
-- For styling/layout issues — visual inspection
-- For performance issues — profiling tools
-
----
-
-## Integration with Other Skills
-
-- Run AFTER `/superpowers:systematic-debugging` (which finds the other 54 bug types)
-- Run BEFORE `/superpowers:verification-before-completion` (which verifies fixes work)
-- Feeds into `/superpowers:test-driven-development` — every bug found here should get a test
-
----
-
-## Example: The Bug That Inspired This Skill
-
-**ThreadList.tsx "New Email" button:**
-```
-onClick={() => {
-  useEmailStore.getState().setComposeMode(true)   // ✓ sets composeMode = true
-  useEmailStore.getState().selectThread(null)      // ✗ RESETS composeMode = false
-}}
-```
-
-Store definition:
-```
-selectThread: (thread) => set({
-  selectedThread: thread,
-  selectedThreadId: thread?.id ?? null,
-  messages: [],
-  drafts: [],
-  selectedDraft: null,
-  summary: null,
-  composeMode: false,     // ← THIS silent reset killed the button
-  composeData: null,
-  redraftOpen: false,
-})
-```
-
-**Systematic debugging missed it** because:
-- The button has an onClick handler (not dead)
-- Both functions exist (no missing wiring)
-- Neither function crashes (no runtime error)
-- The data types are correct (no type mismatch)
-
-**Click-path audit catches it** because:
-- Step 1 maps `selectThread` resets `composeMode`
-- Step 2 traces the handler: call 1 sets true, call 2 resets false
-- Verdict: Sequential Undo — final state contradicts button intent
