+# Rust testing
+
+## TDD loop
+
+1. Add `#[test]` (or `proptest!`) against the public API.
+2. Stub body with `todo!()` until failure is meaningful.
+3. Implement minimally; run `cargo test` and `clippy`.
+4. Refactor without shrinking behavior coverage.
+
+Org-wide verification habits → **techne:quality**.
+
+## Unit tests in-module
+
+```rust
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod tests {
+    use super::*;
+
+    #[test]
+    fn rejects_blank_title() {
+        let err = Item::new("", 10).unwrap_err();
+        assert!(err.to_string().contains("title"));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Return `Result<(), E>` from tests to use `?` on setup helpers.
+
+## Panics vs Results
+
+Prefer asserting `is_err()` and matching error enums. Reserve `#[should_panic(expected = "...")]` for truly unreachable internal invariants.
+
+## Integration tests
+
+Each file under `tests/` is its own crate—import the library by name:
+
+```rust
+use mylib::{App, Settings};
+
+#[test]
+fn health_endpoint_returns_ok() {
+    let app = App::boot(Settings::fixture());
+    let resp = app.get("/health").unwrap();
+    assert_eq!(resp.status, 200);
+}
+```
+
+Share helpers via `tests/common/mod.rs` (not `tests/common.rs` alone if multiple binaries need it).
+
+## Async
+
+```rust
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn times_out_on_slow_peer() {
+    let result = tokio::time::timeout(
+        Duration::from_millis(50),
+        client.fetch("/slow"),
+    ).await;
+    assert!(result.is_err());
+}
+```
+
+Use `tokio::test` with multi-thread runtime when tests spawn tasks.
+
+## Parameterized tests
+
+**rstest** for readable matrices:
+
+```rust
+#[rstest]
+#[case("", false)]
+#[case("ok", true)]
+fn validates_token(#[case] token: &str, #[case] ok: bool) {
+    assert_eq!(check(token).is_ok(), ok);
+}
+```
+
+**proptest** for invariants:
+
+```rust
+proptest! {
+    #[test]
+    fn roundtrip(bytes in prop::collection::vec(any::<u8>(), 0..256)) {
+        let enc = encode(&bytes);
+        prop_assert_eq!(decode(&enc).unwrap(), bytes);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Custom strategies for emails, IDs, or bounded numerics.
+
+## mockall
+
+```rust
+#[automock]
+trait Repo {
+    fn fetch(&self, id: u64) -> Option<Row>;
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn returns_row_when_present() {
+    let mut mock = MockRepo::new();
+    mock.expect_fetch().with(eq(7)).returning(|_| Some(Row { id: 7 }));
+    let svc = Service::new(mock);
+    assert_eq!(svc.load(7).unwrap().id, 7);
+}
+```
+
+Do not mock types you do not own—wrap behind your trait.
+
+## Doc tests
+
+Executable examples in `///` blocks; use `no_run` when I/O required. They run via `cargo test --doc`.
+
+## Benchmarks (Criterion)
+
+`[[bench]]` with `harness = false`; use `black_box` on inputs; commit baseline HTML only when team agrees.
+
+## Coverage
+
+```bash
+cargo llvm-cov
+cargo llvm-cov --html
+cargo llvm-cov --fail-under-lines 80
+```
+
+Coverage goals: domain core 100%, exported API at least 90%, everything else at least 80%; leave generated code and FFI shims out of the measurement.
+
+## CI sketch
+
+Format check → Clippy → tests → llvm-cov threshold. Pin toolchain via `rust-toolchain.toml` or CI action.
+
+## Practices
+
+| Do | Skip |
+|----|------|
+| Independent tests | Shared `static mut` |
+| Descriptive `snake_case` test names | Testing private functions directly |
+| Property tests on parsers/crypto | Sleeping for timing—use mocks or `pause` |
+| `cargo test -- --nocapture` while debugging | Ignored flaky tests without ticket |
+
+Untrusted deserialization → combine proptest with **security-review**.

+name: services
+description: Backend and API engineering — layered Node/Express/Next/Nest services, REST contracts, typed errors, ports-and-adapters boundaries, MCP servers. Use when designing APIs, server modules, persistence, jobs, or TypeScript MCP tooling.
+---
+
+Scope: design and implement server-side features with clear layers, stable HTTP contracts, and testable domain boundaries. Map persistence/cache/auth details to `techne:databases` and delivery to `techne:delivery` when those dominate the task. Use `biblos` MCP for library/API signatures; `atlas` MCP to locate existing modules. Session notes: `/session-handoff`. Reviews: `security-review` / `exo-security`, `exo-qa`; Nest/Node implementation work can delegate to `exo-backend`.
+
+## Non-negotiable rules
+
+1. **Thin transport** — controllers/routes parse/validate input, call application services, map results to HTTP; no business rules in handlers.
+2. **REST semantics** — nouns in URLs, correct status codes (no `200` with `success: false`); validate bodies with schemas (Zod, class-validator, etc.).
+3. **Error contract** — structured `{ error: { code, message, details? } }`; log full context server-side; never return stack traces or SQL to clients.
+4. **Operational errors vs bugs** — typed/domain errors with stable `code`; unexpected failures become generic 500 after logging.
+5. **Data access** — repository or port behind services; avoid N+1 (batch/join); select only needed columns; transactions for multi-write invariants.
+6. **Caching** — cache-aside with explicit TTL and invalidation; production rate limits use shared stores (Redis/gateway), not per-process counters on scaled runtimes.
+7. **AuthZ** — authenticate at the edge; authorize per resource in the service layer; JWT/session checks are not a substitute for server-side permission checks on mutations.
+8. **Hexagonal slice** — domain free of framework imports; use cases depend on port interfaces; adapters map HTTP/ORM/SDK; wire in one composition root.
+9. **Retries** — exponential backoff with jitter on transient failures only; do not retry most 4xx; propagate `abortSignal` on outbound HTTP.
+10. **NestJS** — global `ValidationPipe` with `whitelist` + `forbidNonWhitelisted`; response DTOs, not ORM entities; env validated at bootstrap.
+11. **MCP servers** — schema-first tools; transport isolated from tool logic; pin SDK versions; verify registration APIs via `biblos` MCP (SDKs change).
+12. **Git hygiene** — conventional commit messages in English; no Co-Authored-By or AI attribution trailers; never skip git hooks or force-push shared branches.

+GET    /api/v1/orders
+GET    /api/v1/orders/:id
+POST   /api/v1/orders
+PATCH  /api/v1/orders/:id
+DELETE /api/v1/orders/:id
+POST   /api/v1/orders/:id/cancel   # non-CRUD actions — verbs sparingly
+```
+
+Plural kebab-case nouns; no `/getOrders`. Sub-resources express ownership: `/users/:id/orders`.
+
+## Status codes
+
+| Code | When |
+|------|------|
+| 200 | GET/PATCH with body |
+| 201 | POST create + `Location` |
+| 204 | DELETE success, no body |
+| 400 | Malformed JSON |
+| 401 | Missing/invalid auth |
+| 403 | Authenticated, forbidden |
+| 404 | Missing resource |
+| 409 | Conflict / duplicate |
+| 422 | Valid JSON, invalid semantics |
+| 429 | Rate limited + `Retry-After` |
+| 503 | Overload + `Retry-After` |
+
+Never encode failure only in JSON while returning HTTP 200.
+
+## Envelopes
+
+Public APIs often wrap:
+
+```json
+{ "data": { … }, "meta": { "page": 1, "per_page": 20, "total": 142 } }
+```
+
+Errors:
+
+```json
+{
+  "error": {
+    "code": "validation_error",
+    "message": "…",
+    "details": [{ "field": "email", "message": "…", "code": "invalid_format" }]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Internal APIs may return raw resources on success if status codes disambiguate.
+
+## Pagination
+
+| Style | When |
+|-------|------|
+| Offset `page`/`per_page` | Admin UIs, small tables, search with page numbers |
+| Cursor `cursor` + `limit` | Feeds, large tables, public APIs |
+
+Cursor: fetch `limit+1` to compute `has_next`; opaque cursor encoding.
+
+## Filtering and sorting
+
+Equality filters as query params; ranges via bracket notation (`price[gte]=10`); sort `sort=-created_at,name`; sparse fieldsets `fields=id,name`.
+
+## Auth headers
+
+`Authorization: Bearer …` for users; `X-API-Key` for service accounts when documented.
+
+Resource auth: load entity, compare `order.userId` to caller; admin routes behind role guard **and** service check.
+
+## Versioning
+
+Start at `/api/v1`. Maintain at most two active versions. Breaking changes → new version; additive response fields / optional params → same version. Deprecate with `Sunset` header and timeline; eventually `410 Gone`.
+
+## Rate limit headers
+
+```
+X-RateLimit-Limit: 100
+X-RateLimit-Remaining: 95
+X-RateLimit-Reset: 1700000000
+```
+
+Typical tiers: anonymous per IP, authenticated per user, elevated per API key — tune to product policy.
+
+## Ship checklist
+
+Naming, method, status, schema validation, error shape, pagination on lists, authn/authz, rate limits, no leak of internals, OpenAPI updated, naming convention consistent (snake_case vs camelCase — pick one).
+
+## Handler examples
+
+### TypeScript (Next.js route)
+
+```ts
+const bodySchema = z.object({ email: z.string().email(), name: z.string().min(1).max(100) });
+
+export async function POST(req: NextRequest) {
+  const parsed = bodySchema.safeParse(await req.json());
+  if (!parsed.success) {
+    return NextResponse.json({
+      error: {
+        code: 'validation_error',
+        message: 'Invalid body',
+        details: parsed.error.issues.map((i) => ({
+          field: i.path.join('.'),
+          message: i.message,
+          code: i.code,
+        })),
+      },
+    }, { status: 422 });
+  }
+  const user = await users.create(parsed.data);
+  return NextResponse.json({ data: user }, {
+    status: 201,
+    headers: { Location: `/api/v1/users/${user.id}` },
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### Conflict mapping
+
+Duplicate unique key → `409` with `code: 'email_taken'` (or domain-specific code), not `500`.
+
+### List endpoint
+
+Always cap `per_page` (e.g. max 100); default sort documented; filter whitelist to indexed columns where possible (`techne:databases` for index strategy).
+
+### Python (DRF-style)
+
+Separate write serializer from read serializer; `create` returns `201` + `Location`; validation errors become `400`/`422` with field keys — align JSON keys with TypeScript clients if both exist.
+
+### Go `net/http`
+
+Decode JSON → validate struct tags/custom `Validate()` → map `domain.Err*` with `errors.Is` → never branch on error string contents.
+
+Framework-specific guides: `techne:python`, `techne:go`, `techne:java` when the stack is fixed.

+# Backend layers and infrastructure patterns
+
+## REST handler shape
+
+Resource URLs, query filters, pagination params at the edge; business rules in services.
+
+```ts
+interface OrderRepo {
+  list(filter: ListFilter): Promise<Order[]>;
+  byId(id: string): Promise<Order | null>;
+  insert(dto: CreateOrder): Promise<Order>;
+}
+
+class OrderService {
+  constructor(private repo: OrderRepo) {}
+  async search(q: string, limit = 20) {
+    const ids = await this.vectorIndex.search(q, limit);
+    const rows = await this.repo.byIds(ids);
+    return rows.sort((a, b) => ids.indexOf(a.id) - ids.indexOf(b.id));
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Middleware
+
+Compose cross-cutting concerns (auth, logging, rate limit) as wrappers or framework middleware; attach user/context before the handler runs.
+
+## Database
+
+- Project columns explicitly — avoid `SELECT *` in hot paths.
+- Batch related lookups (map by id) instead of per-row queries in loops.
+- Multi-step invariants: DB transaction or RPC — single commit/rollback boundary.
+
+## Caching
+
+Decorator/wrapper repo: read Redis → on miss load DB → `SETEX` with TTL; delete key on writes.
+
+## Background work
+
+Queue jobs from HTTP handlers when work is slow or unreliable; return `202`/accepted semantics if the API contract allows. In-process queues OK for dev only — production uses durable queues (`techne:delivery`).
+
+## Auth helpers
+
+Verify bearer JWT with explicit secret/config; map claims to a typed user; RBAC via role → permission table checked in services.
+
+## Logging
+
+Structured JSON logs: `timestamp`, `level`, `message`, `requestId`, `userId`, error fields. Never log secrets or raw tokens.
+
+## Rate limiting
+
+Implement at API gateway, Redis sliding window, or platform limiter — not in-memory per Node instance when horizontally scaled.
+
+## Next.js / Express wiring
+
+```ts
+export function withAuth(handler: RouteHandler): RouteHandler {
+  return async (req, ctx) => {
+    const token = req.headers.get('authorization')?.replace(/^Bearer\s+/i, '');
+    if (!token) return NextResponse.json({ error: { code: 'unauthorized', message: 'Missing token' } }, { status: 401 });
+    try {
+      const user = await verifyAccessToken(token);
+      return handler(req, { ...ctx, user });
+    } catch {
+      return NextResponse.json({ error: { code: 'unauthorized', message: 'Invalid token' } }, { status: 401 });
+    }
+  };
+}
+```
+
+GraphQL APIs: same layering — resolvers stay thin; batch loaders kill N+1 (`DataLoader` pattern). Depth/complexity limits at the gateway.
+
+## Simple in-process queue (dev only)
+
+```ts
+class MemoryQueue<T> {
+  private q: T[] = [];
+  private busy = false;
+  enqueue(item: T) {
+    this.q.push(item);
+    if (!this.busy) void this.drain();
+  }
+  private async drain() {
+    this.busy = true;
+    while (this.q.length) {
+      const job = this.q.shift()!;
+      try { await this.handle(job); } catch (e) { logger.error('job_failed', e); }
+    }
+    this.busy = false;
+  }
+  protected async handle(_job: T) { /* override */ }
+}
+```
+
+Production: durable queue + worker process (`techne:delivery`).

+# Errors and resilience
+
+## Principles
+
+1. Fail fast at boundaries; do not swallow `catch` without log, remap, or rethrow.
+2. Errors are typed values with stable `code` for clients.
+3. User-visible text ≠ engineer logs (no stacks in responses).
+4. Document every error code clients may see.
+
+## TypeScript hierarchy
+
+```ts
+export class ServiceError extends Error {
+  constructor(
+    message: string,
+    readonly code: string,
+    readonly httpStatus = 500,
+    readonly details?: unknown,
+  ) {
+    super(message);
+    this.name = 'ServiceError';
+    Object.setPrototypeOf(this, new.target.prototype);
+  }
+}
+
+export class MissingEntityError extends ServiceError {
+  constructor(kind: string, id: string) {
+    super(`${kind} not found`, 'NOT_FOUND', 404, { id });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Central mapper maps `ServiceError`, validation library errors, and unknown → HTTP JSON envelope.
+
+## Result type (expected failure)
+
+```ts
+type Outcome<T, E = ServiceError> =
+  | { ok: true; value: T }
+  | { ok: false; error: E };
+
+async function loadUser(id: string): Promise<Outcome<User>> {
+  try {
+    const row = await db.user.findUnique({ where: { id } });
+    if (!row) return { ok: false, error: new MissingEntityError('User', id) };
+    return { ok: true, value: row };
+  } catch {
+    return { ok: false, error: new ServiceError('Storage failure', 'DB_ERROR') };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Retries
+
+```ts
+async function withBackoff<T>(
+  fn: () => Promise<T>,
+  opts: { attempts?: number; baseMs?: number; maxMs?: number; retry?: (e: unknown) => boolean } = {},
+): Promise<T> {
+  const attempts = opts.attempts ?? 3;
+  let delay = opts.baseMs ?? 500;
+  const max = opts.maxMs ?? 10_000;
+  const retry = opts.retry ?? (() => true);
+
+  for (let i = 1; i <= attempts; i++) {
+    try {
+      return await fn();
+    } catch (e) {
+      if (i === attempts || !retry(e)) throw e;
+      await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, delay + Math.random() * delay));
+      delay = Math.min(delay * 2, max);
+    }
+  }
+  throw new Error('unreachable');
+}
+```
+
+Retry transient 5xx/timeouts/network — not typical 4xx. Pass cancellation/`AbortSignal` to outbound HTTP.
+
+## User-facing copy
+
+Map `code` → short friendly string; keep codes in API JSON for clients that localize.
+
+## Python
+
+```python
+class ServiceError(Exception):
+    def __init__(self, message: str, code: str, status_code: int = 500):
+        super().__init__(message)
+        self.code = code
+        self.status_code = status_code
+
+@app.exception_handler(ServiceError)
+async def on_service_error(_: Request, exc: ServiceError) -> JSONResponse:
+    return JSONResponse(
+        status_code=exc.status_code,
+        content={"error": {"code": exc.code, "message": str(exc)}},
+    )
+
+@app.exception_handler(Exception)
+async def on_unexpected(_: Request, exc: Exception) -> JSONResponse:
+    logger.exception("unexpected")
+    return JSONResponse(status_code=500, content={
+        "error": {"code": "internal_error", "message": "An unexpected error occurred"},
+    })
+```
+
+Deeper stack conventions: `techne:python`.
+
+## Go
+
+```go
+var ErrNotFound = errors.New("not found")
+
+func (r *Repo) ByID(ctx context.Context, id string) (*User, error) {
+    row, err := r.db.Query(ctx, id)
+    if errors.Is(err, sql.ErrNoRows) {
+        return nil, fmt.Errorf("user %s: %w", id, ErrNotFound)
+    }
+    return row, err
+}
+
+func writeDomainError(w http.ResponseWriter, err error) {
+    switch {
+    case errors.Is(err, ErrNotFound):
+        writeJSON(w, 404, map[string]any{"error": map[string]string{"code": "not_found", "message": err.Error()}})
+    default:
+        slog.Error("handler", "err", err)
+        writeJSON(w, 500, map[string]any{"error": map[string]string{"code": "internal_error", "message": "An unexpected error occurred"}})
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Deeper patterns: `techne:go`.
+
+## UI boundary
+
+Server-rendered apps: framework error boundaries for render failures (see `techne:react` / `techne:web` for front-end specifics).
+
+## Circuit breaker (external dependencies)
+
+For flaky third-party APIs: track failure rate in a sliding window; open circuit → fail fast with `503`/`SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE` and structured code; half-open probe after cooldown. Combine with timeouts and bulkheads (separate pool per dependency). Log state transitions.
+
+## Checklist
+
+Every catch handled; API envelope consistent; logs contain context; retries selective; async work awaited or explicitly fire-and-forget with monitoring.

+# Hexagonal (ports and adapters)
+
+Business rules sit at the center; frameworks and I/O sit at the edge. Dependencies point inward.
+
+## Layers
+
+| Layer | Contains |
+|-------|----------|
+| Domain | Entities, value objects, pure policies — no HTTP/ORM imports |
+| Application | Use cases, inbound/outbound port interfaces, DTOs |
+| Adapters | HTTP controllers, ORM repos, message consumers, SDK wrappers |
+| Composition | Wire concrete adapters to use cases once |
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Define use case input/output DTOs (no `Request` types inside).
+2. List outbound ports (`OrderRepositoryPort`, `PaymentPort`, `ClockPort`).
+3. Implement use case orchestration injecting ports.
+4. Inbound adapter maps HTTP/job payload → DTO → use case → HTTP response.
+5. Outbound adapter implements port with SQL/SDK calls.
+
+```ts
+export interface OrderStore {
+  save(order: Order): Promise<void>;
+  find(id: string): Promise<Order | null>;
+}
+
+export class PlaceOrder {
+  constructor(private store: OrderStore, private pay: PaymentPort) {}
+  async run(cmd: PlaceOrderCmd): Promise<PlaceOrderResult> {
+    const order = Order.create(cmd);
+    const auth = await this.pay.authorize({ amount: order.totalCents, id: order.id });
+    await this.store.save(order.markPaid(auth.id));
+    return { orderId: order.id };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Layout (feature-first)
+
+```
+src/features/billing/
+  domain/
+  application/ports/ + use-cases/
+  adapters/inbound/http/ + outbound/postgres/
+  composition/registerBilling.ts
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+- Domain: pure unit tests.
+- Use case: fakes for ports.
+- Adapter: contract tests per port; integration with real DB/API.
+- E2E: inbound adapter through stack.
+
+## Migration
+
+Strangler: one vertical slice at a time; facade legacy behind ports; characterization tests before moves; centralize wiring early. Avoid big-bang rewrites.
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+ORM entities in domain; use cases reading `req.query`; adapter-to-adapter calls bypassing use cases; hidden global singletons for dependencies.
+
+## Multi-language
+
+Same boundaries in Java/Kotlin (`application.port.in/out`), Go (small interfaces in application package, wire in `cmd/`), etc. Framework annotations stay in adapters only.
+
+## Flow
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+  Client --> InboundAdapter
+  InboundAdapter --> UseCase
+  UseCase --> OutboundPort
+  OutboundAdapter --> OutboundPort
+  OutboundAdapter --> External[(DB / API / Queue)]
+  UseCase --> Domain
+```
+
+## Language packaging
+
+| Runtime | Port location | Wiring |
+|---------|---------------|--------|
+| TypeScript | `application/ports` | factory module / Nest `Module` providers |
+| Java | `application.port.in/out` | Spring `@Configuration` or manual |
+| Kotlin | same as Java | Koin/Dagger/Spring modules |
+| Go | interfaces beside use case | `main` or `wire/` package |
+
+Inbound adapter responsibilities: protocol validation, auth extraction, map to command DTO, map domain errors to HTTP/status. Outbound: translate port calls to SQL/SDK, map infra errors to domain errors (no leaking driver types upward).
+
+## Refactor sequence (repeat per slice)
+
+Extract command + result types → introduce ports around existing DB calls → move orchestration from fat controller/service into use case → make legacy controller call use case → unit test use case with fakes → integration test one adapter → delete dead paths when parity proven.

+```ts
+import { McpServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js';
+import { z } from 'zod';
+
+const server = new McpServer({ name: 'acme-tools', version: '1.0.0' });
+```
+
+Registration method names differ by SDK version (`tool`, `registerTool`, object vs positional args). **Confirm current signatures with `biblos` MCP** before copying examples.
+
+## Transport
+
+| Transport | Use |
+|-----------|-----|
+| stdio | Local IDE/desktop clients |
+| Streamable HTTP | Remote agents (single MCP HTTP endpoint per spec) |
+| Legacy SSE | Backward compatibility only |
+
+Keep tool/resource handlers free of transport code; connect transport in the entrypoint.
+
+## Tool design
+
+- Zod (or SDK-native schema) for every input; describe side effects and return shape in the tool description.
+- Return structured errors the model can reason about — not raw stack traces.
+- Prefer idempotent tools when retries are likely.
+- Document rate/cost for paid external APIs in the description.
+- Pin `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` version; read release notes on upgrade.
+
+## Resources and prompts
+
+Resources: read-only handlers keyed by URI. Prompts: reusable templates with typed arguments.
+
+## Security
+
+Validate and sanitize inputs; never expose secrets in tool responses; treat client-supplied URIs and fetched web content as untrusted data, not instructions.
+
+## Official SDKs
+
+TypeScript (`@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`), Go, C# — same conceptual split (capabilities vs transport).
+
+For capability placement (rule vs skill vs MCP vs CLI), decide at product level; this file covers MCP implementation only.
