-# Vibe Forge Architecture
-
-This document describes the architectural decisions and structure of the Vibe Forge codebase.
-
-## Language Strategy
-
-Vibe Forge uses a **hybrid Bash/Node.js architecture** with the following rationale:
-
-### Bash (Primary for Scripts)
-
-The core CLI and daemon are implemented in Bash because:
-
-1. **Native shell integration** - Vibe Forge orchestrates terminal sessions and Claude Code processes, which are inherently shell operations
-2. **Unix philosophy** - Small composable scripts that can be debugged, piped, and modified easily
-3. **Transparency** - Users can inspect and modify scripts without build steps
-4. **Git Bash compatibility** - Windows users with Git Bash can run the same scripts
-
-Files in Bash:
-- `bin/forge.sh` - Main CLI entry point
-- `bin/forge-setup.sh` - Setup and initialization
-- `bin/forge-spawn.sh` - Terminal spawning orchestration
-- `bin/forge-daemon.sh` - Background daemon for task monitoring
-- `bin/lib/*.sh` - Shared libraries (colors, config, agents, database, json, util)
-
-### Node.js (Cross-Platform Utilities)
-
-Node.js is used where cross-platform compatibility or complex logic is needed:
-
-1. **npx installer** - `bin/cli.js` runs via npx before Vibe Forge is installed
-2. **Terminal detection** - `bin/lib/terminal.js` detects and spawns terminals across Windows/macOS/Linux
-3. **JSON parsing** - All Bash scripts use Node.js for JSON via `bin/lib/json.sh` wrapper
-4. **Claude hooks** - `.claude/hooks/worker-loop.js` runs as Claude Code hook
-5. **Dashboard server** - `bin/dashboard/server.js` provides HTTP + WebSocket for the web UI
-
-### Design Principles
-
-1. **Single Source of Truth** - Configuration in `config/agents.json`, loaded by both languages
-2. **Node.js for JSON** - All JSON parsing uses `bin/lib/json.sh` which calls Node.js (no jq dependency)
-3. **Bash for orchestration** - Process management, file watching, terminal control
-4. **Thin wrappers** - `forge.cmd` on Windows calls Bash via Git Bash
-
-### JSON Handling
-
-All JSON operations use the `json.sh` library which provides:
-
-```bash
-# Reading JSON
-value=$(json_read "$file" "key" "default")
-
-# Reading multiple keys efficiently
-read -r name status task <<< "$(json_read_multi "$file" name status task)"
-
-# Writing JSON
-json_write "$file" "key" "value"
-json_write_bool "$file" "enabled" true
-
-# Pretty printing
-json_pretty "$file"
-
-# Key existence check
-if json_has_key "$file" "key"; then ...
-```
-
-This eliminates the jq dependency while maintaining security (arguments passed to Node.js, not interpolated).

-
-### Dashboard Architecture
-
-The dashboard is a self-contained Node.js server that provides:
-
-1. **Static file serving** - HTML, CSS, JS from `bin/dashboard/public/`
-2. **REST API** - Task management, agent status, dispatch at `/api/*`
-3. **WebSocket** - Real-time updates at `/ws`
-4. **Issue detection** - Stale docs, failing tests, security issues
-
-Port **2800** was chosen as the default because it's the operating temperature of a forge in degrees Fahrenheit. 🔥
-
-## Future Considerations
-
-### Potential Node.js Migration
-
-While Option B (hybrid) is the current strategy, a future Node.js migration could provide:
-
-1. **Better Windows support** - Native Node.js without Git Bash dependency
-2. **Unified codebase** - Single language to maintain
-3. **Type safety** - TypeScript for larger refactors
-4. **npm ecosystem** - Libraries for terminal control, process management
-
-Migration path if pursued:
-1. `src/lib/config.ts` - Configuration management
-2. `src/lib/agents.ts` - Agent resolution
-3. `src/lib/database.ts` - SQLite operations
-4. `src/daemon.ts` - Background daemon
-5. `src/forge.ts` - Main CLI (keeping forge.sh as thin wrapper initially)
-
-### Requirements for Migration
-
-Before pursuing full Node.js migration:
-- Ensure all Bash-specific functionality can be replicated
-- Maintain transparency (scripts users can inspect)
-- Keep startup time fast (current scripts are instant)
-- Preserve Unix composability where valuable
-
-## ADR Summary

-| Decision | Choice | Rationale |
-|----------|--------|-----------|
-| Primary language | Bash | Native shell integration, transparency |
-| JSON parsing | Node.js via json.sh | Security, cross-platform |
-| Terminal detection | Node.js | Cross-platform compatibility |
