- ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
18
- │ When to Use What │
19
- ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
20
- │ SSE (Server-Sent Events) │
21
- │ ✅ Server → Client only (one-way) │
22
- │ ✅ AI token streaming │
23
- │ ✅ Live feeds, notifications, dashboards │
24
- │ ✅ Auto-reconnection built in │
25
- │ ✅ Works through HTTP proxies and CDNs │
26
- │ │
27
- │ WebSocket │
28
- │ ✅ Bidirectional (client ↔ server) │
29
- │ ✅ Chat, gaming, collaborative editing │
30
- │ ✅ High-frequency updates (< 100ms intervals) │
31
- │ ❌ Doesn't work through some proxies/CDNs │
32
- │ ❌ No auto-reconnection (must implement) │
33

34

35
- │ ✅ Simplest implementation │
36
- │ ✅ Works everywhere │
37
- │ ❌ Latency (poll interval) │
38
- │ ❌ Wasted requests when nothing changed │
39
- │ │
40
- │ WebTransport (emerging) │
41
- │ ✅ UDP-based, lowest latency │

- ❌ HALLUCINATION TRAP: Don't default to WebSocket for everything
47
- AI streaming → SSE (one-way, auto-reconnect)
48
- Notifications → SSE (one-way)
49
- Chat → WebSocket (bidirectional)
50
- Live dashboard → SSE (one-way)
51
- Collaborative editing → WebSocket + CRDT

58
- ```typescript

- // Subscribe to events

- AI coding assistants often fall into specific bad habits when dealing with this domain. These are strictly forbidden:
277
-
278
- 1. **Over-engineering:** Proposing complex abstractions or distributed systems when a simpler approach suffices.
279
- 2. **Hallucinated Libraries/Methods:** Using non-existent methods or packages. Always `// VERIFY` or check `package.json` / `requirements.txt`.
280
- 3. **Skipping Edge Cases:** Writing the "happy path" and ignoring error handling, timeouts, or data validation.
281
- 4. **Context Amnesia:** Forgetting the user's constraints and offering generic advice instead of tailored solutions.
282
- 5. **Silent Degradation:** Catching and suppressing errors without logging or re-raising.

- **Slash command: `/review` or `/tribunal-full`**
289
- **Active reviewers: `logic-reviewer` · `security-auditor`**
290

291
- ### ❌ Forbidden AI Tropes
292
-
293
- 1. **Blind Assumptions:** Never make an assumption without documenting it clearly with `// VERIFY: [reason]`.
294
- 2. **Silent Degradation:** Catching and suppressing errors without logging or handling.
295
- 3. **Context Amnesia:** Forgetting the user's constraints and offering generic advice instead of tailored solutions.
296
-
297
-
298
-
299
- Review these questions before confirming output:
300
- ```
301
- ✅ Did I rely ONLY on real, verified tools and methods?
302
- ✅ Is this solution appropriately scoped to the user's constraints?
303
- ✅ Did I handle potential failure modes and edge cases?
304
- ✅ Have I avoided generic boilerplate that doesn't add value?
305
- ```
306
-
307
- ### 🛑 Verification-Before-Completion (VBC) Protocol
308
-
309
- **CRITICAL:** You must follow a strict "evidence-based closeout" state machine.
310
- - ❌ **Forbidden:** Declaring a task complete because the output "looks correct."
311
- - ✅ **Required:** You are explicitly forbidden from finalizing any task without providing **concrete evidence** (terminal output, passing tests, compile success, or equivalent proof) that your output works as intended.
312
-
313
-
314
- ## Pre-Flight Checklist
315
- - [ ] Have I reviewed the user's specific constraints and requests?
316
- - [ ] Have I checked the environment for relevant existing implementations?
317
-
318
- ## VBC Protocol (Verification-Before-Completion)
319
- You MUST verify existing code signatures and variables before attempting to modify or call them. No hallucination is permitted.
