 - **If your agent supports a native plan mode** (Grok `/plan`, Cursor Plan mode, extended plan-before-code): use it for all Phase 1 work. Include **`getGreenfieldIntakePrompt`** questions in the plan context. Do **not** write app code or heavy docs until the user approves the plan. On approval, map the plan into **`PHASE_1_BRIEF.md`** (`getTemplate`) and log commitments in **`decisions[]`**. See **`getPlanModePatterns`** (MCP) or WORKFLOW §1c for handoff details.
 - **Classify the project archetype** (`product` | `internal-tool` | `one-shot`) per **§1d** and prune the tracking template's exit criteria to match. Record it in **`PHASE_1_BRIEF.md`**, **`decisions[]`**, and **`project.archetype`** in the tracking file. Default to `product` when unsure.
 - **If this is a web app**, answer the state-persistence sub-question **before** locking PocketBase + auth: *"Does any state need to outlive this browser — accounts, cross-device sync, shared data — or is state per-user local?"* If local-only → drop PocketBase + auth, target `adapter-static`, persist via `localStorage` / `IndexedDB`. If persistent → full backend stack. Record the answer in **`PHASE_1_BRIEF.md` §4 (`State persistence:`)** and **`decisions[]`**.

 - **If any content is produced by an LLM** (not hand-authored, not from a conventional non-LLM API), pick one of three content-generation patterns **in Phase 1** — it drives deploy model, cost, and secret management:
   - **Runtime LLM API** — server route calls the provider per request; needs rate-limit + streaming UX. **Cloud** (OpenAI, Anthropic, …): API keys in `.env`. **Local Ollama:** `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` + `OLLAMA_MODEL`; Phase 2 **`setup:ollama`** / **`test:ollama`** (see **SYSTEM_HEALTH_CHECKS.md**, Lite §4.8) — default **Granite 4.1** / **Gemma 3**, not thinking models unless required.
   - **Build-time LLM generation** — `scripts/seed.ts` calls the provider once, writes JSON into `data/`, commits it; no runtime cost; pairs well with A-local + `adapter-static`. Seed may use cloud APIs or the same Ollama env as local dev.

 - **Assuming `.env` is loaded without code.** Node/TS entrypoints (`tsx`, `node`, Hono, workers) do **not** read `.env` unless you call **`dotenv`** (or equivalent) at startup — see §4.2.1. Vite loads env for `vite.config.*`, but monorepo layouts need **merged `loadEnv`** from repo root + package with paths derived from **`import.meta.url`**, not `process.cwd()` alone.
 - **pnpm ignored native build scripts.** `better-sqlite3` and similar may install without `prebuild-install` / `node-gyp` on pnpm v9+ — see §4.1 preflight step 5 (`onlyBuiltDependencies` at workspace root).
+- **Major-upgrading a framework to clear a nested Dependabot High.** Pin the named package with `pnpm.overrides` in the flagged lockfile (`sharp` `0.35.4`, `fast-uri` `3.1.7`, `cookie@<0.7.0` → `0.7.2`, `brace-expansion` `5.0.9`, `launch-editor` `2.14.1`). Leave Vite 4 / SvelteKit 1 where they are unless you meant to take that upgrade. Dismiss leftover Vite 4 / Kit 1 / Svelte 3 / devalue 4 / undici 5 alerts (no patch on that major).

 - **Hardcoded PocketBase (or tool) versions in install scripts.** Pinning `0.25.x` in a script while the ecosystem moved on causes mysterious admin/API failures. Resolve **latest at install** unless `.env` pins a tested semver (§4.2.2).

+- When Dependabot names a **transitive** (`sharp`, `fast-uri`, `cookie`, `js-yaml`) in a lockfile, add `pnpm.overrides` (or npm `overrides`) in the **package that owns that lockfile**.
+- Do **not** major-upgrade Vite 4 / SvelteKit 1 (or another EOL line) just to pick up the nested pin.
+- Recurring pins as of 2026-09: `sharp` `0.35.4`, `fast-uri` `3.1.7`, `cookie@<0.7.0` → `0.7.2`, `js-yaml` `3.15.2`, `brace-expansion` `5.0.9` (or `1.1.18` / `2.1.4` / `3.0.6` on older majors), `launch-editor` `2.14.1`, `qs` `6.16.0`, `hono` `4.13.7`. Cookie 1.x is already past the 0.6 advisory.
+- Vitest 3.x: no patch for `@vitest/mocker` path traversal. Bump the **test** dep to `4.1.11`. That is not a Vite 4 / SvelteKit 1 product upgrade.
+- **Dismiss, do not rewrite:** Vite 4 / SvelteKit 1 / Svelte 3 / devalue 4 / undici 5 have **no patch on that major**. GitHub wants Vite 5.4+ / 6.4+, devalue 5.6+, undici 6.24+, Svelte 4/5, Kit 2. Those alerts stay until a planned framework jump. Mark them “no patch on this major; local/dev-only” after the pin pass.
+
+## After the pin
+
+- Run `pnpm install --lockfile-only` in that package directory.
+- Leave the product version alone unless this is a real release.
+
+## Scanner hygiene (related)
+
+- CodeQL `/\/+$/` and `\\0+$` are trailing-delimiter strips: walk the string.
+- Incomplete escaping: `replaceAll` for `/`; escape `\\` before `|` or `"`.
+- Do not file GHSA/CVE for first-wave lockfile or local-stdio findings unless there is a real remote exploit.

 > 💡 **Lesson learned:** **Host matching is not string `includes`.** Scrapers and board classifiers that use `hostname.includes('linkedin.com')` match lookalikes and generate dozens of identical CodeQL alerts. One shared helper (`host === domain || host.endsWith('.' + domain)`) plus call-site migration clears the storm and keeps regional subdomains (`uk.linkedin.com`, `boards.greenhouse.io`) working. Keep path checks on `pathname`. Sibling edge services that cannot import the app module should copy the helper with a sync comment.
 >
 > 📝 **Example:** `hostMatchesDomain('www.linkedin.com', 'linkedin.com')` → true; `hostMatchesDomain('evil-linkedin.com', 'linkedin.com')` → false.
 
+> 💡 **Lesson learned:** **Dependabot High on a site or tool lockfile is usually a nested pin, not a product rewrite.** FilePress sites pull `sharp`; Ajv pulls `fast-uri`; SvelteKit still ships `cookie@0.6` next to `cookie@1`. Add `pnpm.overrides` in the package that owns the flagged lockfile, run `pnpm install --lockfile-only`, and leave the app version and the site framework where they are. A fleet scan of lockfiles (skip `node_modules`) finds the same four packages on almost every marketing site. A first-scan dump on an old SvelteKit 1 / Vite 4 client looks huge and “might be old”: most of those Highs have no 4.x patch. Pin what still has a same-major fix (`launch-editor`, `qs`, `hono`) and dismiss the rest until a planned Kit 2 rewrite.
+>
+> 📝 **Example:** `"pnpm": { "overrides": { "sharp": "0.35.4", "fast-uri": "3.1.7", "cookie@<0.7.0": "0.7.2", "brace-expansion": "5.0.9" } }`
+
+> 💡 **Lesson learned:** **CodeQL “polynomial regex” on `/\/+$/` is a trailing-slash strip.** Walk the string. The same query flags `replace(/\\0+$/)`, `/^-+|-+$/`, and `.+` / `.*` used to peel `cmd /c` or `in <folder>` off operator logs. Those are not remote ReDoS; they are scanner hygiene. Incomplete-escaping alerts are the sibling: escape `\\` first, then `|` or `"`, and replace every `/` when encoding an npm name.
+>
+> 📝 **Example:** `while (path.length > 1 && path.endsWith('/')) path = path.slice(0, -1)` instead of `path.replace(/\/+$/, '')`.
+
 > 💡 **Lesson learned:** **A hardening fix is not done until you run the bypass inputs through it.** A codebase can pass a security audit, ship the recommended guard, and still be exploitable because the guard compares strings where it should compare ranges. Real examples from one Exec Foundry sweep: an SSRF check that blocked `127.0.0.1` but not `127.0.0.2` or `[::ffff:127.0.0.1]` or `localhost.`; a DNS-resolution check whose IPv4-mapped branch used `/^:ffff:/` and could never match the resolver's `::ffff:` output; a filter escaper using SQL-style doubled quotes against a parser that expects backslashes; and an "`&amp;` last" entity decoder that still double-decoded because numeric refs ran first. All four had been reviewed and credited as effective. Add an **AREA 0 fix-efficacy pass** to security re-audits, and land a regression test with every guard so the next refactor cannot quietly undo it.
 >
 > 📝 **Example:** `assert.throws(() => assertSafeUrl('http://[::ffff:169.254.169.254]/'))` is worth more than a paragraph in the audit report claiming metadata endpoints are blocked.

 - **Assertive product voice in copy modules:** When writing marketing, help, onboarding, or API prerequisite strings, describe **shipped capabilities** with direct present-tense verbs (`strengthens`, `suggests`, `keeps`) — not hedging **can** (`can strengthen`, `can suggest`). Reserve **can** for user options, factual extraction limits, or people. Grep `\bcan\b` after landing/how-it-works edits. WHY: Hedged capability copy undercuts premium positioning and drifts back in via LLM-generated strings if prompts use the same hedge.
 - **Positioning spine as an always-apply rule file:** Once brand voice and theme crystallize (usually after several tone passes), write them into an always-apply agent rule (e.g. `.cursor/rules/writing-voice.mdc`): the one-sentence positioning spine, banned framings, register rules, and locked signature lines. Audit copy surfaces against the rule after marketing edits. WHY: Voice decisions made across many sessions evaporate without a rule file; each new session reinvents tone and reintroduces retired framings. See `docs/BRAND_AND_PRODUCT.md` → *Positioning spine (theme lock)*.
 - **Progressive async UI: snapshot callbacks before close/unmount:** When a modal or panel calls `onClose()` (or unmounts) mid-flight but an async finalize step still needs parent callbacks (`onComplete`, `onFailed`, import hooks), **capture callback refs in locals before the first `await`**. Parent props can be stale after unmount. WHY: Silent finalize failures and “stuck importing” states when the initiating surface disappears while work continues.
-- **npm name hold from a throwaway folder:** To reserve an unscoped name before the product exists, prepare `0.0.0` in a temp directory (`package.json` with `description: "Name hold."`, one-line README, no homepage/bin/deps). The **operator** runs `npm publish`. Agents never publish, except LocalHelm / LocalBerth after `auth` when the operator asked for a named `--apply`. A raw `npm publish` is expected to fail (passkey / 2FA). Token stays in user `~/.npmrc`, never in a repo. See `content/cursor-rules/npm-name-hold.mdc`. WHY: A repo `prepublishOnly` build ships `dist/` when all you wanted was the name; publishing is a human gate.

Compare numerically after normalizing the host, and cover each blocked class with a test that fails against the old guard.

 > 💡 **Lesson learned:** **Rolling restarts and reverse proxies:** A single upstream socket that goes down for process restart can surface **502/503** to users for a few seconds.

 > 💡 **Lesson learned:** **`systemd` stop timeout vs deploy wall-clock:** Raising **`TimeoutStopSec`** (or equivalent) so long requests can **drain gracefully** on SIGTERM is often correct for LLM or upload-heavy apps — but **`systemctl stop`** on the old instance waits **up to** that budget before SIGKILL. If the process does not exit promptly on SIGTERM, **each** deploy’s SSH/CI step can grow by a large fraction of that window. **Why:** Blue-green or rolling scripts typically **stop** the superseded unit after traffic moves; a longer cap fixes mid-request kills but can **double** apparent pipeline duration if shutdown is slow. **Mitigations:** implement a **short** graceful shutdown in the app (close listener, bound wait on in-flight work), pick a **middle-ground** timeout, and **split timings** in CI (build vs deploy) so regressions point at compile vs systemd stop.
