+# Meta-Rule: Core Always-On Rules
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer
+**Date**: 2025-08-21
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Core rules for every prompt
+
+## Purpose
+
+This meta-rule bundles the core rules that should be applied to **every single
+prompt** because they define fundamental behaviors, principles, and context
+that are essential for all AI interactions.
+
+## When to Use
+
+**ALWAYS** - These rules apply to every single prompt, regardless of the task
+or context. They form the foundation for all AI assistant behavior.
+
+## Bundled Rules
+
+### **Core Human Competence Principles**
+
+- **`core/base_context.mdc`** - Human competence first principles, interaction
+  guidelines, and output contract requirements
+- **`core/less_complex.mdc`** - Minimalist solution principle and complexity
+  guidelines
+
+### **Time & Context Standards**
+
+- **`development/time.mdc`** - Time handling principles and UTC standards
+- **`development/time_examples.mdc`** - Practical time implementation examples
+- **`development/time_implementation.mdc`** - Detailed time implementation
+  guidelines
+
+### **Version Control & Process**
+
+- **`workflow/version_control.mdc`** - Version control principles and commit
+  guidelines
+- **`workflow/commit_messages.mdc`** - Commit message format and conventions
+
+### **Application Context**
+
+- **`app/timesafari.mdc`** - Core TimeSafari application context and
+  development principles
+- **`app/timesafari_development.mdc`** - TimeSafari-specific development
+  workflow and quality standards
+
+## Why These Rules Are Always-On
+
+### **Base Context**
+
+- **Human Competence First**: Every interaction must increase human competence
+- **Output Contract**: All responses must follow the required structure
+- **Competence Hooks**: Learning and collaboration must be built into every response
+
+### **Time Standards**
+
+- **UTC Consistency**: All timestamps must use UTC for system operations
+- **Evidence Collection**: Time context is essential for debugging and investigation
+- **Cross-Platform**: Time handling affects all platforms and features
+
+### **Version Control**
+
+- **Commit Standards**: Every code change must follow commit message conventions
+- **Process Consistency**: Version control affects all development work
+- **Team Collaboration**: Commit standards enable effective team communication
+
+### **Application Context**
+
+- **Platform Awareness**: Every task must consider web/mobile/desktop platforms
+- **Architecture Principles**: All work must follow TimeSafari patterns
+- **Development Standards**: Quality and testing requirements apply to all work
+
+## Application Priority
+
+### **Primary (Apply First)**
+
+1. **Base Context** - Human competence and output contract
+2. **Time Standards** - UTC and timestamp requirements
+3. **Application Context** - TimeSafari principles and platforms
+
+### **Secondary (Apply as Needed)**
+
+1. **Version Control** - When making code changes
+2. **Complexity Guidelines** - When evaluating solution approaches
+
+## Integration with Other Meta-Rules
+
+### **Feature Planning**
+
+- Base context ensures human competence focus
+- Time standards inform planning and estimation
+- Application context drives platform considerations
+
+### **Bug Diagnosis**
+
+- Base context ensures systematic investigation
+- Time standards enable proper evidence collection
+- Application context provides system understanding
+
+### **Bug Fixing**
+
+- Base context ensures quality implementation
+- Time standards maintain logging consistency
+- Application context guides testing strategy
+
+### **Feature Implementation**
+
+- Base context ensures proper development approach
+- Time standards maintain system consistency
+- Application context drives architecture decisions
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] **Base context applied** to every single prompt
+- [ ] **Time standards followed** for all timestamps and logging
+- [ ] **Version control standards** applied to all code changes
+- [ ] **Application context considered** for all platform work
+- [ ] **Human competence focus** maintained in all interactions
+- [ ] **Output contract structure** followed in all responses
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+- **Don't skip base context** - loses human competence focus
+- **Don't ignore time standards** - creates inconsistent timestamps
+- **Don't forget application context** - misses platform considerations
+- **Don't skip version control** - creates inconsistent commit history
+- **Don't lose competence focus** - reduces learning value
+

-# Meta-Rule: Bug Diagnosis
+# Meta-Rule: Bug Diagnosis Workflow
 
 **Author**: Matthew Raymer
-**Date**: 2025-08-21
-**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Bug investigation workflow bundling
+**Date**: August 24, 2025
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Core workflow for all bug investigation
 
 ## Purpose
 
-This meta-rule bundles all the rules needed for systematic bug investigation
-and root cause analysis. Use this when bugs are reported, performance
-issues occur, or unexpected behavior happens.
+This meta-rule defines the systematic approach for investigating and diagnosing
+bugs, defects, and unexpected behaviors in the TimeSafari application. It ensures
+consistent, thorough, and efficient problem-solving workflows.
+
+## Workflow Constraints
+
+**This meta-rule enforces DIAGNOSIS MODE for all bundled sub-rules:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "workflowMode": "diagnosis",
+  "constraints": {
+    "mode": "read_only",
+    "forbidden": ["modify", "create", "build", "commit"],
+    "required": "complete_investigation_before_fixing"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**All bundled sub-rules automatically inherit these constraints.**
+
+## Workflow State Update
+
+**When this meta-rule is invoked, update the workflow state file:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "currentMode": "diagnosis",
+  "lastInvoked": "meta_bug_diagnosis.mdc",
+  "timestamp": "2025-01-27T15:30:00Z",
+  "constraints": {
+    "mode": "read_only",
+    "forbidden": ["modify", "create", "build", "commit"],
+    "allowed": ["read", "search", "analyze", "document"],
+    "required": "complete_investigation_before_fixing"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**State File Location**: `.cursor/rules/.workflow_state.json`
+
+**This enables the core always-on rule to enforce diagnosis mode constraints.**
 
 ## When to Use
 
-- **Bug Reports**: Investigating reported bugs or issues
-- **Performance Issues**: Diagnosing slow performance or bottlenecks
-- **Unexpected Behavior**: Understanding why code behaves unexpectedly
-- **Production Issues**: Investigating issues in live environments
-- **Test Failures**: Understanding why tests are failing
-- **Integration Problems**: Diagnosing issues between components
+**ALWAYS** - Apply this workflow to every bug investigation, regardless of
+severity or complexity. This ensures systematic problem-solving and prevents
+common investigation pitfalls.
 
 ## Bundled Rules
 
-### **Investigation Process**
+### **Investigation Foundation**
 
-- **`development/research_diagnostic.mdc`** - Systematic investigation
-  workflow with evidence collection and analysis
-- **`development/investigation_report_example.mdc`** - Investigation
-  documentation templates and examples
-- **`core/harbor_pilot_universal.mdc`** - Technical guide creation
-  for complex investigations
+- **`development/research_diagnostic.mdc`** - Research and investigation methodologies
+- **`development/logging_standards.mdc`** - Logging and debugging best practices
+- **`development/type_safety_guide.mdc`** - Type safety and error prevention
 
-### **Evidence Collection**
+### **Development Workflow**
 
-- **`development/logging_standards.mdc`** - Logging implementation
-  standards for debugging and evidence collection
-- **`development/time.mdc`** - Timestamp requirements and time
-  handling standards for evidence
-- **`development/time_examples.mdc`** - Practical examples of
-  proper time handling in investigations
+- **`workflow/version_control.mdc`** - Version control during investigation
+- **`development/software_development.mdc`** - Development best practices
 
-### **Technical Context**
+## Critical Development Constraints
 
-- **`app/timesafari.mdc`** - Core application context and
-  architecture for understanding the system
-- **`app/timesafari_platforms.mdc`** - Platform-specific
-  considerations and constraints
+### **🚫 NEVER Use Build Commands During Diagnosis**
 
-## Workflow Sequence
+**Critical Rule**: Never use `npm run build:web` or similar build commands during bug diagnosis
 
-### **Phase 1: Initial Investigation (Start Here)**
+- **Reason**: These commands block the chat and prevent effective troubleshooting
+- **Impact**: Blocks user interaction, prevents real-time problem solving
+- **Alternative**: Use safe, fast commands for investigation
+- **When to use build**: Only after diagnosis is complete and fixes are ready for testing
 
-1. **Research Diagnostic** - Use `research_diagnostic.mdc` for
-   systematic investigation approach
-2. **Evidence Collection** - Apply `logging_standards.mdc` and
-   `time.mdc` for proper evidence gathering
-3. **Context Understanding** - Review `timesafari.mdc` for
-   application context
+### **Safe Diagnosis Commands**
 
-### **Phase 2: Deep Investigation**
+✅ **Safe to use during diagnosis:**
+- `npm run lint-fix` - Syntax and style checking
+- `npm run type-check` - TypeScript validation (if available)
+- `git status` - Version control status
+- `ls` / `dir` - File listing
+- `cat` / `read_file` - File content inspection
+- `grep_search` - Text pattern searching
 
-1. **Platform Analysis** - Check `timesafari_platforms.mdc` for
-   platform-specific issues
-2. **Technical Guide Creation** - Use `harbor_pilot_universal.mdc`
-   for complex investigation documentation
-3. **Evidence Analysis** - Apply `time_examples.mdc` for proper
-   timestamp handling
+❌ **Never use during diagnosis:**
+- `npm run build:web` - Blocks chat
+- `npm run build:electron` - Blocks chat  
+- `npm run build:capacitor` - Blocks chat
+- Any long-running build processes
 
-### **Phase 3: Documentation & Reporting**
+## Investigation Workflow
 
-1. **Investigation Report** - Use `investigation_report_example.mdc`
-   for comprehensive documentation
-2. **Root Cause Analysis** - Synthesize findings into actionable
-   insights
+### **Phase 1: Problem Definition**
 
-## Success Criteria
+1. **Gather Evidence**
+   - Error messages and stack traces
+   - User-reported symptoms
+   - System logs and timestamps
+   - Reproduction steps
 
-- [ ] **Root cause identified** with supporting evidence
-- [ ] **Evidence properly collected** with timestamps and context
-- [ ] **Investigation documented** using appropriate templates
-- [ ] **Platform factors considered** in diagnosis
-- [ ] **Reproduction steps documented** for verification
-- [ ] **Impact assessment completed** with scope defined
-- [ ] **Next steps identified** for resolution
+2. **Context Analysis**
+   - When did the problem start?
+   - What changed recently?
+   - Which platform/environment?
+   - User actions leading to the issue
 
-## Common Pitfalls
+### **Phase 2: Systematic Investigation**
+
+1. **Code Inspection**
+   - Relevant file examination
+   - Import and dependency analysis
+   - Syntax and type checking
+   - Logic flow analysis
+
+2. **Environment Analysis**
+   - Platform-specific considerations
+   - Configuration and settings
+   - Database and storage state
+   - Network and API connectivity
+
+### **Phase 3: Root Cause Identification**
+
+1. **Pattern Recognition**
+   - Similar issues in codebase
+   - Common failure modes
+   - Platform-specific behaviors
+   - Recent changes impact
+
+2. **Hypothesis Testing**
+   - Targeted code changes
+   - Configuration modifications
+   - Environment adjustments
+   - Systematic elimination
+
+## Investigation Techniques
+
+### **Safe Code Analysis**
 
-- **Don't skip evidence collection** - leads to speculation
-- **Don't ignore platform differences** - misses platform-specific issues
-- **Don't skip documentation** - loses investigation insights
-- **Don't assume root cause** - verify with evidence
-- **Don't ignore time context** - misses temporal factors
-- **Don't skip reproduction steps** - makes verification impossible
+- **File Reading**: Use `read_file` tool for targeted inspection
+- **Pattern Searching**: Use `grep_search` for code patterns
+- **Semantic Search**: Use `codebase_search` for related functionality
+- **Import Tracing**: Follow dependency chains systematically
 
-## Integration Points
+### **Error Analysis**
 
-### **With Other Meta-Rules**
+- **Stack Trace Analysis**: Identify error origin and propagation
+- **Log Correlation**: Match errors with system events
+- **Timeline Reconstruction**: Build sequence of events
+- **Context Preservation**: Maintain investigation state
 
-- **Feature Planning**: Use complexity assessment for investigation planning
-- **Bug Fixing**: Investigation results feed directly into fix implementation
-- **Feature Implementation**: Investigation insights inform future development
+### **Platform Considerations**
 
-### **With Development Workflow**
+- **Web Platform**: Browser-specific behaviors and limitations
+- **Electron Platform**: Desktop app considerations
+- **Capacitor Platform**: Mobile app behaviors
+- **Cross-Platform**: Shared vs. platform-specific code
 
-- Investigation findings inform testing strategy
-- Root cause analysis drives preventive measures
-- Evidence collection improves logging standards
+## Evidence Collection Standards
 
-## Feedback & Improvement
+### **Timestamps**
 
-### **Sub-Rule Ratings (1-5 scale)**
+- **UTC Format**: All timestamps in UTC for consistency
+- **Precision**: Include milliseconds for precise correlation
+- **Context**: Include relevant system state information
+- **Correlation**: Link events across different components

+## Workflow Flexibility: Phase-Based, Not Waterfall
+
+**Important**: Meta-rules represent **workflow phases**, not a rigid sequence. You can:
+
+### **Jump Between Phases Freely**
+- **Start with diagnosis** if you already know the problem
+- **Go back to research** if your fix reveals new issues  
+- **Switch to planning** mid-implementation if scope changes
+- **Document at any phase** - not just at the end
+
+### **Mode Switching by Invoking Meta-Rules**
+Each meta-rule invocation **automatically switches your workflow mode**:
+
+```
+Research Mode → Invoke @meta_bug_diagnosis → Diagnosis Mode
+Diagnosis Mode → Invoke @meta_bug_fixing → Fixing Mode
+Planning Mode → Invoke @meta_feature_implementation → Implementation Mode
+```
+
+### **Phase Constraints, Not Sequence Constraints**
+- **Within each phase**: Clear constraints on what you can/cannot do
+- **Between phases**: Complete freedom to move as needed
+- **No forced order**: Choose the phase that matches your current need
+
+### **Example of Flexible Workflow**
+```
+1. Start with @meta_research (investigation mode)
+2. Jump to @meta_bug_diagnosis (diagnosis mode) 
+3. Realize you need more research → back to @meta_research
+4. Complete diagnosis → @meta_bug_fixing (implementation mode)
+5. Find new issues → back to @meta_bug_diagnosis
+6. Complete fix → @meta_documentation (documentation mode)
+```
+
+**The "sticky" part means**: Each phase has clear boundaries, but you control when to enter/exit phases.
+

+### **Workflow State Management**
+
+The project uses a sophisticated workflow state management system to ensure systematic development processes and maintain code quality across all phases of development.
+
+#### **Workflow State System**
+
+The workflow state is managed through `.cursor/rules/.workflow_state.json` and enforces different modes with specific constraints. The system automatically tracks workflow progression and maintains a complete history of mode transitions.
+
+**Available Modes**:
+- **`diagnosis`** - Investigation and analysis phase (read-only)
+- **`fixing`** - Implementation and bug fixing phase (full access)
+- **`planning`** - Design and architecture phase (design only)
+- **`research`** - Investigation and research phase (investigation only)
+- **`documentation`** - Documentation writing phase (writing only)
+
+**Mode Constraints**:
+```json

+    "allowed": ["modify", "create", "build", "commit", "test"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Workflow History Tracking**:
+
+The system automatically maintains a `workflowHistory` array that records all mode transitions and meta-rule invocations:
+
+```json
+{
+  "workflowHistory": [

+      "mode": "research",
+      "invoked": "meta_core_always_on.mdc",
+      "timestamp": "2025-08-25T02:14:37Z"

+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**History Entry Format**:
+- **`mode`**: The workflow mode that was activated
+- **`invoked`**: The specific meta-rule that triggered the mode change
+- **`timestamp`**: UTC timestamp when the mode transition occurred
+
+**History Purpose**:
+- **Workflow Continuity**: Track progression through development phases
+- **Meta-Rule Usage**: Monitor which rules are invoked and when
+- **Temporal Context**: Maintain chronological order of workflow changes
+- **State Persistence**: Preserve workflow history across development sessions
+- **Debugging Support**: Help diagnose workflow state issues
+- **Process Analysis**: Understand development patterns and meta-rule effectiveness
+
+#### **Commit Override System**
+
+The workflow includes a flexible commit override mechanism that allows commits on demand while maintaining workflow integrity:
+
+```json
+{
+  "overrides": {
+    "commit": {
+      "allowed": true,
+      "requires_override": true,
+      "override_reason": "user_requested"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Override Benefits**:
+- ✅ **Investigation Commits**: Document findings during diagnosis phases
+- ✅ **Work-in-Progress**: Commit partial solutions during complex investigations
+- ✅ **Emergency Fixes**: Commit critical fixes without mode transitions
+- ✅ **Flexible Workflow**: Maintain systematic approach while accommodating real needs
+
+**Override Limitations**:
+- ❌ **Does NOT bypass**: Version control rules, commit message standards, or security requirements
+- ❌ **Does NOT bypass**: Code quality standards, testing requirements, or documentation requirements
+
+#### **Workflow Enforcement**
+
+The system automatically enforces workflow constraints through the core always-on rules:
+
+**Before Every Interaction**:
+1. **Read current workflow state** from `.cursor/rules/.workflow_state.json`
+2. **Identify current mode** and its constraints
+3. **Validate user request** against current mode constraints
+4. **Enforce constraints** before generating response
+5. **Guide model behavior** based on current mode
+
+**Mode-Specific Enforcement**:
+- **Diagnosis Mode**: Blocks modification, creation, building, and commits
+- **Fixing Mode**: Allows full implementation and testing capabilities
+- **Planning Mode**: Focuses on design and architecture, blocks implementation
+- **Research Mode**: Enables investigation and analysis, blocks modification
+- **Documentation Mode**: Allows writing and editing, blocks implementation
+
+#### **Workflow Transitions**
+
+To change workflow modes, invoke the appropriate meta-rule:
+
+```bash
+# Switch to bug fixing mode
+@meta_bug_fixing.mdc
+
+# Switch to feature planning mode  
+@meta_feature_planning.mdc
+
+# Switch to documentation mode
+@meta_documentation.mdc
+```
+
+**Transition Requirements**:
+- **Mode Changes**: Require explicit meta-rule invocation
+- **State Updates**: Automatically update workflow state file
+- **Constraint Enforcement**: Immediately apply new mode constraints
+- **History Tracking**: Automatically maintained in `workflowHistory` array
+- **Timestamp Recording**: Each transition recorded with UTC timestamp
+
+#### **Integration with Development Process**
+
+The workflow system integrates seamlessly with existing development practices:
+
+**Version Control**:
+- All commits must follow TimeSafari commit message standards
+- Security audit checklists are enforced regardless of workflow mode
+- Documentation updates are required for substantial changes
+
+**Quality Assurance**:
+- Code quality standards (PEP8, TypeScript, etc.) are always enforced
+- Testing requirements apply to all implementation work
+- Documentation standards are maintained across all phases
+
+**Build System**:
+- Build Architecture Guard protects critical build files
+- Platform-specific build processes respect workflow constraints
+- Asset generation follows established patterns
+
+**Migration Context**:
+- Database migration work respects investigation vs. implementation phases
+- Component migration progress is tracked through workflow states

Subject: [PATCH 07/23] fix(settings): resolve server switching not applying
 immediately

- Fix database query logic in PlatformServiceMixin.$getSettings() to properly
  distinguish between master settings (ID) and account settings (DID)
- Add comprehensive logging for settings debugging with request IDs and
  component tracking
- Fix ProfileService initialization order in AccountViewView to use correct
  partnerApiServer after settings load
- Add URL flow testing interface in TestView for debugging server switching
- Enhance settings consistency validation and error handling

Resolves issue where profile server changes were saved but not applied due to
incorrect database query logic and settings priority handling.

Files changed: PlatformServiceMixin.ts, AccountViewView.vue, TestView.vue,
TopMessage.vue, main.ts, router/index.ts

Testing: Added comprehensive URL flow testing interface for validation

Subject: [PATCH 09/23] fix(api): resolve image server hardcoding and add
 comprehensive diagnostics

- Fix fetchImageRateLimits to accept configurable imageServer parameter instead
  of hardcoded DEFAULT_IMAGE_API_SERVER
- Add enhanced diagnostic logging for image server operations with server
  context, error tracking, and user registration status
- Update AccountViewView.vue to pass correct image server parameter
- Ensure consistent server switching behavior across all API endpoints
- Prevent similar server configuration issues in image operations

Fixes server switching not applying to image rate limit checks and provides
complete visibility into image server operations for debugging and monitoring.

Subject: [PATCH 10/23] fix(database): resolve ambiguous settings query logic

- Fix PlatformServiceMixin.() ambiguous OR condition
- Use specific queries for master settings (id) vs account settings (accountDid)
- Resolve settings priority conflicts affecting server switching
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing settings structure

Testing: TypeScript compilation passes, no linting errors
Impact: Settings now load correctly without query ambiguity

Subject: [PATCH 13/23] fix(ProfileService): revert to working endpoint for
 profile loading

- Revert ProfileService from broken /api/partner/userProfile endpoint to working /api/partner/userProfileForIssuer/${did}
- Fix location data display by restoring single profile object response parsing
- Remove complex array handling logic that was unnecessary for current user profiles
- Restore original working functionality that was broken by recent refactoring

Problem: Recent ProfileService creation changed endpoint from working userProfileForIssuer/${did}
to broken userProfile (list endpoint), causing location data to not display properly.

Solution: Revert to original working endpoint and response parsing logic that returns
single profile objects with location data instead of arrays of all profiles.

Files changed:
- src/services/ProfileService.ts: Restore working endpoint and simplify response parsing

Testing: Profile loading now works correctly for both existing and new profiles,
location data is properly extracted and displayed, maps render correctly.

Subject: [PATCH 14/23] feat(meta-rules): create change evaluation and breaking
 change detection rule

- Create comprehensive meta-rule for evaluating changes between branches
- Implement systematic breaking change detection for API contracts, data structures, and behavior
- Add risk assessment framework with LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH/CRITICAL classification
- Include change pattern recognition and dependency impact assessment
- Provide structured output format for change evaluation reports
- Apply markdown core standards for consistent formatting and readability

Problem: Need systematic approach to catch problematic model behavior by analyzing
changes before they cause issues.

Solution: Create meta-rule that evaluates changes between branches, detects
breaking changes, assesses risk levels, and provides actionable recommendations.

Files changed:
- .cursor/rules/meta_change_evaluation.mdc: New meta-rule with comprehensive
  change evaluation capabilities

Testing: Rule provides structured approach for analyzing changes, detecting
breaking changes, and generating risk assessment reports.

+**Author**: Matthew Raymer  
+**Date**: 2025-08-25  
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Manually activated change evaluation rule
+
+## Purpose
+
+This meta-rule provides a systematic approach to evaluate changes between
+branches and detect potential breaking changes. It's designed to catch
+problematic model behavior by analyzing the nature, scope, and impact of
+code changes before they cause issues.
+
+## When to Use
+
+**Manual Activation Only** - This rule should be invoked when:
+
+- Reviewing changes before merging branches
+- Investigating unexpected behavior after updates
+- Validating that model-generated changes are safe
+- Analyzing the impact of recent commits
+- Debugging issues that may be caused by recent changes
+
+## Workflow State Enforcement
+
+**This meta-rule enforces current workflow mode constraints:**
+
+### **Current Workflow State**
+
+```json
+{
+  "workflowState": {
+    "currentMode": "diagnosis|fixing|planning|research|documentation",
+    "constraints": {
+      "mode": "read_only|implementation|design_only|investigation|writing_only",
+      "allowed": ["array", "of", "allowed", "actions"],
+      "forbidden": ["array", "of", "forbidden", "actions"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### **Mode-Specific Enforcement**
+
+**Diagnosis Mode (read_only):**
+
+- ❌ **Forbidden**: File modification, code creation, build commands, git
+  commits
+- ✅ **Allowed**: File reading, code analysis, investigation, documentation
+- **Response**: Focus on analysis and documentation, not implementation
+
+**Fixing Mode (implementation):**
+
+- ✅ **Allowed**: File modification, code creation, build commands, testing,
+  git commits
+- ❌ **Forbidden**: None (full implementation mode)
+- **Response**: Proceed with implementation and testing
+
+**Planning Mode (design_only):**
+
+- ❌ **Forbidden**: Implementation, coding, building, deployment
+- ✅ **Allowed**: Analysis, design, estimation, documentation, architecture
+- **Response**: Focus on planning and design, not implementation
+
+**Research Mode (investigation):**
+
+- ❌ **Forbidden**: File modification, implementation, deployment
+- ✅ **Allowed**: Investigation, analysis, research, documentation
+- **Response**: Focus on investigation and analysis
+
+**Documentation Mode (writing_only):**
+
+- ❌ **Forbidden**: Implementation, coding, building, deployment
+- ✅ **Allowed**: Writing, editing, formatting, structuring, reviewing
+- **Response**: Focus on documentation creation and improvement
+
+## Change Evaluation Process
+
+### **Phase 1: Change Discovery and Analysis**
+
+1. **Branch Comparison Analysis**
+
+   - Compare working branch with master/main branch
+   - Identify all changed files and their modification types
+   - Categorize changes by scope and impact
+
+2. **Change Pattern Recognition**
+
+   - Identify common change patterns (refactoring, feature addition, bug
+     fixes)
+   - Detect unusual or suspicious change patterns
+   - Flag changes that deviate from established patterns
+
+3. **Dependency Impact Assessment**
+
+   - Analyze changes to imports, exports, and interfaces
+   - Identify potential breaking changes to public APIs
+   - Assess impact on dependent components and services
+
+### **Phase 2: Breaking Change Detection**
+
+1. **API Contract Analysis**
+
+   - Check for changes to function signatures, method names, class
+     interfaces
+   - Identify removed or renamed public methods/properties
+   - Detect changes to configuration options and constants
+
+2. **Data Structure Changes**
+
+   - Analyze database schema modifications
+   - Check for changes to data models and interfaces
+   - Identify modifications to serialization/deserialization logic
+
+3. **Behavioral Changes**
+
+   - Detect changes to business logic and algorithms
+   - Identify modifications to error handling and validation
+   - Check for changes to user experience and workflows
+
+### **Phase 3: Risk Assessment and Recommendations**
+
+1. **Risk Level Classification**
+
+   - **LOW**: Cosmetic changes, documentation updates, minor refactoring
+   - **MEDIUM**: Internal API changes, configuration modifications,
+     performance improvements
+   - **HIGH**: Public API changes, breaking interface modifications, major
+     architectural changes
+   - **CRITICAL**: Database schema changes, authentication modifications,
+     security-related changes
+
+2. **Impact Analysis**
+
+   - Identify affected user groups and use cases
+   - Assess potential for data loss or corruption
+   - Evaluate impact on system performance and reliability
+
+3. **Mitigation Strategies**
+
+   - Recommend testing approaches for affected areas
+   - Suggest rollback strategies if needed
+   - Identify areas requiring additional validation
+
+## Implementation Guidelines
+
+### **Change Analysis Tools**
+
+1. **Git Diff Analysis**
+
+   ```bash
+   # Compare working branch with master
+   git diff master..HEAD --name-only
+   git diff master..HEAD --stat
+   git log master..HEAD --oneline
+   ```
+
+2. **File Change Categorization**
+
+   - **Core Files**: Application entry points, main services, critical
+     utilities
+   - **Interface Files**: Public APIs, component interfaces, data models
+   - **Configuration Files**: Environment settings, build configurations,
+     deployment scripts
+   - **Test Files**: Unit tests, integration tests, test utilities
+
+3. **Change Impact Mapping**
+
+   - Map changed files to affected functionality
+   - Identify cross-dependencies and ripple effects
+   - Document potential side effects and unintended consequences
+
+### **Breaking Change Detection Patterns**
+
+1. **Function Signature Changes**
+
+   ```typescript
+   // BEFORE
+   function processData(data: string, options?: Options): Result
+   
+   // AFTER - BREAKING CHANGE
+   function processData(data: string, options: Required<Options>): Result
+   ```
+
+2. **Interface Modifications**
+
+   ```typescript
+   // BEFORE
+   interface UserProfile {
+     name: string;
+     email: string;
+   }
+   
+   // AFTER - BREAKING CHANGE
+   interface UserProfile {
+     name: string;
+     email: string;
+     phone: string; // Required new field
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Configuration Changes**
+
+   ```typescript
+   // BEFORE
+   const config = {
+     apiUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
+     timeout: 5000
+   };
+   
+   // AFTER - BREAKING CHANGE
+   const config = {
+     apiUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
+     timeout: 5000,
+     retries: 3 // New required configuration
+   };
+   ```

Subject: [PATCH 15/23] refactor(services): inline ProfileService logic into
 AccountViewView
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Removes over-engineered ProfileService and ServiceInitializationManager
classes that were only used in one place. Inlines all profile logic
directly into AccountViewView.vue to reduce complexity and improve
maintainability.

- Deletes ProfileService.ts (325 lines)
- Deletes ServiceInitializationManager.ts (207 lines)
- Inlines ProfileData interface and methods into AccountViewView
- Maintains all existing functionality while reducing code footprint

perf(logging): convert excessive info logs to debug level

Reduces console noise by converting high-frequency, low-value logging
from info to debug level across navigation, API calls, and component
lifecycle operations. Improves performance and reduces log verbosity
for normal application flow.

- Router navigation guards: info → debug
- Plan loading operations: info → debug
- User registration checks: info → debug
- Image server rate limits: info → debug
- Component lifecycle events: info → debug
- Settings loading operations: info → debug

Maintains warn/error levels for actual issues while reducing noise
from expected application behavior.

Subject: [PATCH 18/23] refactor(settings): simplify $getSettings to
 $getMasterSettings

- Rename $getSettings to $getMasterSettings for clarity
- Remove unused account-specific logic (never called with accountDid)
- Simplify method signature by removing unused key parameter
- Update all 8 call sites and interface definitions
- Maintain backward compatibility for all existing functionality

All calls to $getSettings used MASTER_SETTINGS_KEY, so the complex
branching logic for account-specific settings was unnecessary.

Subject: [PATCH 21/23] fix: persist identity names per user instead of
 globally

Fixes issue where identity names were not saved when switching between
multiple identities. Names were being saved to master settings instead
of user-specific settings.

Changes:
- UserNameDialog: Load/save names from/to user-specific settings
- NewEditAccountView: Save names to user-specific settings for active DID
- Both components now use $accountSettings() and $saveUserSettings()
  instead of $settings() and $updateSettings()

Each identity now properly retains their assigned name when switching
between identities. Previously only "User Zero" would show their name
due to using master settings instead of per-identity settings.
