+
+### **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
+{
+  "diagnosis": {
+    "mode": "read_only",
+    "forbidden": ["modify", "create", "build", "commit"],
+    "allowed": ["read", "search", "analyze", "document"]
+  },
+  "fixing": {
+    "mode": "implementation",
+    "forbidden": [],
+    "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"
+    },
+    {
+      "mode": "diagnosis",
+      "invoked": "meta_bug_diagnosis.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

+# 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

+# Directive on Documentation, References, and Model Agent Use in Code and Project Plans
+
+To ensure clarity, efficiency, and high-value documentation within code and project plans—and to leverage **model agents** (AI- or automation-based assistants) effectively—contributors must follow these rules:
+
+---
+
+## 1. Documentation and References Must Add Clear Value
+
+- Only include documentation, comments, or reference links when they provide _new, meaningful information_ that assists understanding or decision-making.  
+- Avoid duplicating content already obvious in the codebase, version history, or linked project documents.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Eliminate Redundant or Noisy References
+
+- Remove references that serve no purpose beyond filling space.  
+- Model agents may automatically flag and suggest removal of trivial references (e.g., links to unchanged boilerplate or self-evident context).
+
+---
+
+## 3. Explicit Role of Model Agents
+
+Model agents are **active participants** in documentation quality control. Their tasks include:  
+
+- **Relevance Evaluation**: Automatically analyze references for their substantive contribution before inclusion.  
+- **Redundancy Detection**: Flag duplicate or trivial references across commits, files, or tasks.  
+- **Context Linking**: Suggest appropriate higher-level docs (designs, ADRs, meeting notes) when a code change touches multi-stage or cross-team items.  
+- **Placement Optimization**: Recommend centralization of references (e.g., in plan overviews, ADRs, or merge commit messages) rather than scattered low-value inline references.  
+- **Consistency Monitoring**: Ensure references align with team standards (e.g., ADR template, architecture repo, or external policy documents).  
+
+Contributors must treat agent recommendations as **first-pass reviews** but remain accountable for final human judgment.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Contextual References for Complex Items
+
+- Use **centralized references** for multi-stage features (e.g., architectural docs, research threads).  
+- Keep inline code comments light; push broader context into centralized documents.  
+- Model agents may auto-summarize complex chains of discussion and attach them as a single reference point.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Centralization of Broader Context
+
+- Store overarching context (design docs, proposals, workflows) in accessible, well-indexed places.  
+- Model agents should assist by **generating reference maps** that track where docs are cited across the codebase.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Focused Documentation
+
+- Documentation should explain **why** and **how** decisions are made, not just what was changed.  
+- Model agents can auto-generate first-pass explanations from commit metadata, diffs, and linked issues—but humans must refine them for accuracy and intent.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Review and Accountability
+
+- Reviewers and team leads must reject submissions containing unnecessary or low-quality documentation.  
+- Model agent outputs are aids, not replacements—contributors remain responsible for **final clarity and relevance**.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Continuous Improvement and Agent Feedback Loops
+
+- Encourage iterative development of model agents so their evaluations become more precise over time.  
+- Contributions should include **feedback on agent suggestions** (e.g., accepted, rejected, or corrected) to train better future outputs.  
+- Agents should log patterns of “rejected” suggestions for refinement.  
+
+---
+
+## 9. Workflow Overview (Mermaid Diagram)
+
+```mermaid

+    F --> G[Reviewer]
+    G -->|Approves / Requests Revisions| H[Final Documentation]
+    G -->|Feedback on Agent Suggestions| B
+```
+
+---
+
+✅ **Outcome:** By integrating disciplined contributor standards with **model agent augmentation**, the team achieves documentation that is consistently _relevant, concise, centralized, and decision-focused_. AI ensures coverage and noise reduction, while humans ensure precision and judgment.

-# 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.

-  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:**
 
-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
+- `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
 
-### **Phase 3: Documentation & Reporting**
+❌ **Never use during diagnosis:**
 
-1. **Investigation Report** - Use `investigation_report_example.mdc`
-   for comprehensive documentation
-2. **Root Cause Analysis** - Synthesize findings into actionable
-   insights
+- `npm run build:web` - Blocks chat
+- `npm run build:electron` - Blocks chat  
+- `npm run build:capacitor` - Blocks chat
+- Any long-running build processes

+
+   - 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**

+   - 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
+   };
+   ```

+**T (slot time)** — The local wall-clock time a notification should fire (e.g., 08:00).
+
+**T–lead** — The moment **`prefetchLeadMinutes`** before **T** when the system *attempts* a **single** background prefetch. T–lead **controls prefetch attempts, not arming**; locals are pre-armed earlier to guarantee closed-app delivery.
+
+**Rolling window** — Always keep **today's remaining** (and tomorrow if iOS pending caps allow) locals **armed** so the OS can deliver while the app is closed.
+
+**TTL (time-to-live)** — Maximum allowed payload age **at fire time**. If `T − fetchedAt > ttlSeconds`, we **skip** arming for that T.
+
+**Shared DB (default)** — The app and plugin open the **same SQLite file**; the app owns schema/migrations, the plugin performs short writes with WAL.
+
+**WAL (Write-Ahead Logging)** — SQLite journaling mode that permits concurrent reads during writes; recommended for foreground-read + background-write.
+
+**`PRAGMA user_version`** — An integer the app increments on each migration; the plugin **checks** (does not migrate) to ensure compatibility.
+
+**Exact alarm (Android)** — Minute-precise alarm via `AlarmManager.setExactAndAllowWhileIdle`, subject to policy and permission.
+
+**Windowed alarm (Android)** — Batched/inexact alarm via `setWindow(start,len)`; we target **±10 minutes** when exact alarms are unavailable.
+
+**Start-on-Login** — Electron feature that automatically launches the application when the user logs into their system, enabling background notification scheduling and delivery after system reboot.

+# TimeSafari — Native-First Notification System
+
+**Status:** Ready for implementation  
+**Date:** 2025-09-07  
+**Author:** Matthew Raymer
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Ship a **single, Native-First** notification system: OS-scheduled **background prefetch at T–lead** + **pre-armed** local notifications. Web-push is retired.
+
+### What we deliver
+
+- **Closed-app delivery:** Pre-armed locals fire even if the app is closed.
+- **Freshness:** One prefetch attempt per slot at **T–lead**; ETag/TTL controls; skip when stale.
+- **Android precision:** Exact alarms with permission; windowed fallback (±10m) otherwise.
+- **Resilience:** Re-arm after reboot/time-change (Android receivers; iOS on next wake/silent push).
+- **Cross-platform:** Same TS API (iOS/Android/Electron). Electron is best-effort while running.
+
+### Success signals
+
+- High delivery reliability, minute-precision on Android with permission.
+- Prefetch budget hit rate at **T–lead**; zero stale deliveries beyond TTL.
+
+---
+
+## Strategic Plan
+
+### Goal
+
+Deliver 1..M daily notifications with **OS background prefetch at T–lead** and **rolling-window safety** so messages display with fresh content even when the app is closed.
+
+### Tenets
+
+- **Reliability first:** OS delivers once scheduled; no JS at delivery time.
+- **Freshness with guardrails:** Prefetch at **T–lead**; enforce **TTL-at-fire**; ETag-aware.
+- **Single system:** One TS API; native adapters swap under the hood.
+- **Platform honesty:** Android exactness via permission; iOS best-effort budget.
+
+### Architecture (high level)
+
+App (Vue/TS) → Orchestrator (policy) → Native Adapters:
+
+- **SchedulerNative** — AlarmManager (Android) / UNUserNotificationCenter (iOS)  
+- **BackgroundPrefetchNative** — WorkManager (Android) / BGTaskScheduler (+ silent push) (iOS)  
+- **DataStore** — SQLite
+
+**Storage (single shared DB):** The app and the native plugin will use **the same SQLite database file**. The app owns schema/migrations; the plugin opens the same file with WAL enabled and performs short, serialized writes. This keeps one source of truth for payloads, delivery logs, and config.
+
+### SQLite Ownership & Concurrency
+
+* **One DB file:** The plugin opens the **same path** the app uses (no second DB).
+* **Migrations owned by app:** The app executes schema migrations and bumps `PRAGMA user_version`. The plugin **never** migrates; it **asserts** the expected version.
+* **WAL mode:** Open DB with `journal_mode=WAL`, `synchronous=NORMAL`, `busy_timeout=5000`, `foreign_keys=ON`. WAL allows foreground reads while a background job commits quickly.
+* **Single-writer discipline:** Background jobs write in **short transactions** (UPSERT per slot), then return.
+* **Encryption (optional):** If using SQLCipher, the **same key** is used by both app and plugin. Do not mix encrypted and unencrypted openings.
+
+### Scheduling & T–lead
+
+- **Arm** a rolling window (today + tomorrow within iOS cap).  
+- **Attempt** a single **online-first** fetch per slot at **T–lead = T − prefetchLeadMinutes**.  
+- If prefetch is skipped, the armed local **still fires** using cached content.
+
+### Policies
+
+- **TTL-at-fire:** If (T − fetchedAt) > `ttlSeconds` → **skip** arming.  
+- **Android exactness:** Request `SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM`; fallback **±10m** window.  
+- **Reboot/time change:** Android receivers re-arm next 24h; iOS on next wake/silent push.  
+- **No delivery-time mutation:** iOS locals cannot be mutated by NSE; render before scheduling.
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Guide
+
+### 1) Interfaces (TS stable)
+
+- **SchedulerNative**: `scheduleExact({slotId, whenMs, title, body, extra})`, `scheduleWindow(..., windowLenMs)`, `cancelBySlot`, `rescheduleAll`, `capabilities()`
+- **BackgroundPrefetchNative**: `schedulePrefetch(slotId, atMs)`, `cancelPrefetch(slotId)`
+- **DataStore**: SQLite adapters (notif_contents, notif_deliveries, notif_config)
+- **Public API**: `configure`, `requestPermissions`, `runFullPipelineNow`, `reschedule`, `getState`
+
+### DB Path & Adapter Configuration
+
+* **Configure option:** `dbPath: string` (absolute path or platform alias) is passed from JS to the plugin during `configure()`.
+* **Shared tables:**
+
+  * `notif_contents(slot_id, payload_json, fetched_at, etag, …)`
+  * `notif_deliveries(slot_id, fire_at, delivered_at, status, error_code, …)`
+  * `notif_config(k, v)`
+* **Open settings:**
+
+  * `journal_mode=WAL`
+  * `synchronous=NORMAL`
+  * `busy_timeout=5000`
+  * `foreign_keys=ON`
+
+**Type (TS) extension**
+
+```ts
+export type ConfigureOptions = {
+  // …existing fields…
+  dbPath: string;                 // shared DB file the plugin will open
+  storage: 'shared';              // canonical value; plugin-owned DB is not used
+};
+```
+
+**Plugin side (pseudo)**
+
+```kotlin
+// Android open
+val db = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(dbPath, null, SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READWRITE)
+db.execSQL("PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL")
+db.execSQL("PRAGMA synchronous=NORMAL")
+db.execSQL("PRAGMA foreign_keys=ON")
+db.execSQL("PRAGMA busy_timeout=5000")
+// Verify schema version
+val uv = rawQuery("PRAGMA user_version").use { it.moveToFirst(); it.getInt(0) }
+require(uv >= MIN_EXPECTED_VERSION) { "Schema version too old" }
+```
+
+```swift
+// iOS open (FMDB / SQLite3)
+// Set WAL via PRAGMA after open; check user_version the same way.
+```
+
+### 2) Templating & Arming
+
+- Render `title/body` **before** scheduling; pass via **SchedulerNative**.
+- Route all arming through **SchedulerNative** to centralize Android exact/window semantics.
+
+### 3) T–lead (single attempt)
+
+**T–lead governs prefetch, not arming.** We **arm** one-shot locals as part of the rolling window so closed-app delivery is guaranteed. At **T–lead = T − prefetchLeadMinutes**, the **native background job** attempts **one** 12s ETag-aware fetch. If fresh content arrives and will not violate **TTL-at-fire**, we (re)arm the upcoming slot; if the OS skips the wake, the pre-armed local still fires with cached content.
+
+- Compute T–lead = `whenMs - prefetchLeadMinutes*60_000`.
+- `BackgroundPrefetchNative.schedulePrefetch(slotId, atMs=T–lead)`.
+- On wake: **ETag** fetch (timeout **12s**), persist, optionally cancel & re-arm if within TTL.
+- Never fetch at delivery time.
+
+### 4) TTL-at-fire
+
+**TTL-at-fire:** Before arming for time **T**, compute `T − fetchedAt`. If that exceeds `ttlSeconds`, **do not arm** (skip). This prevents posting stale notifications when the app has been closed for a long time.
+
+`if (whenMs - fetchedAt) > ttlSeconds*1000 → skip`
+
+### 5) Android specifics
+
+- Request `SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM`; deep-link if denied; fallback to `setWindow(start,len)` (±10m).
+- Receivers: `BOOT_COMPLETED`, `TIMEZONE_CHANGED`, `TIME_SET` → recompute & re-arm for next 24h and schedule T–lead prefetch.
+
+### 6) iOS specifics
+
+- `BGTaskScheduler` for T–lead prefetch (best-effort). Optional silent push nudge.
+- Locals: `UNCalendarNotificationTrigger` (one-shots); no NSE mutation for locals.
+
+### 7) Network & Timeouts
+
+- Content fetch: **12s** timeout; single attempt at T–lead; ETag/304 respected.
+- ACK/Error: **8s** timeout, fire-and-forget.
+
+### 8) Electron
+
+- Notifications while app is running; recommend **Start-on-Login**. No true background scheduling when fully closed.
+
+### 9) Telemetry
+
+- Record `scheduled|shown|error`; ACK deliveries (8s timeout); include slot/times/TZ/app version.

+---
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+### Core
+
+- **Closed-app delivery:** Armed locals fire at T with last rendered content. No delivery-time network.
+- **T–lead prefetch:** Single background attempt at **T–lead**; if skipped, delivery still occurs from cache.
+- **TTL-at-fire:** No armed local violates TTL at T.
+
+### Android
+
+- **Exact permission path:** With `SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM` → within ±1m; else **±10m** window.
+- **Reboot recovery:** After reboot, receivers re-arm next 24h and schedule T–lead prefetch.
+- **TZ/DST change:** Recompute & re-arm; future slots align to new wall-clock.
+
+### iOS
+
+- **BGTask budget respected:** Prefetch often runs but may be skipped; delivery still occurs via rolling window.
+- **Force-quit caveat:** No background execution after user terminate; delivery still occurs if pre-armed.
+
+### Electron
+
+- **Running-app rule:** Delivery only while app runs; with Start-on-Login, after reboot the orchestrator re-arms and subsequent slots deliver.
+
+### Network
+
+- Content fetch timeout **12s**; ACK/Error **8s**; no retries inside lead; ETag honored.
+
+### Observability
+
+- Log/telemetry for `scheduled|shown|error`; ACK payload includes slot, times, device TZ, app version.
+
+### DB Sharing
+
+* **Shared DB visibility:** A background prefetch writes `notif_contents`; the foreground UI **immediately** reads the same row.
+* **WAL overlap:** With the app reading while the plugin commits, no user-visible blocking occurs.
+* **Version safety:** If `user_version` is behind, the plugin emits an error and does not write (protects against partial installs).

+
+---
+
+## Detailed Cleanup Tasks
+
+### 1. Service Worker Cleanup
+
+#### Files to Deprecate
+
+**`sw_scripts/notification-click.js`**
+
+```javascript
+// DEPRECATED: Service worker notification handling
+// This code is kept for reference but not used in production
+// Replaced by Native-First notification system
+
+// Original web-push notification click handler
+self.addEventListener('notificationclick', (event) => {
+  // DEPRECATED: Web-push only
+  event.notification.close();
+
+  const slotId = event.notification.data?.slotId;
+  const route = slotId ? '/#/daily' : '/#/notifications';
+
+  event.waitUntil(
+    clients.openWindow(route).catch(() => {
+      return clients.openWindow('/');
+    })
+  );
+});
+```
+
+**Service Worker Registration**
+
+```javascript
+// DEPRECATED: Service worker registration
+// This code is kept for reference but not used in production
+// Replaced by Native-First notification system
+
+if ('serviceWorker' in navigator && process.env.VITE_PLATFORM === 'web') {
+  // DEPRECATED: Web-push only
+  navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js')
+    .then(registration => {
+      console.log('Service Worker registered:', registration);
+    })
+    .catch(error => {
+      console.error('Service Worker registration failed:', error);
+    });
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Web Push API Cleanup
+
+#### Push Subscription Management
+
+```javascript
+// DEPRECATED: Web push subscription management
+// This code is kept for reference but not used in production
+// Replaced by Native-First notification system
+
+class WebPushManager {
+  // DEPRECATED: Web-push only
+  async subscribeToPush() {
+    // Implementation kept for reference
+  }
+
+  // DEPRECATED: Web-push only
+  async unsubscribeFromPush() {
+    // Implementation kept for reference
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Push Message Handling
+
+```javascript
+// DEPRECATED: Push message handling
+// This code is kept for reference but not used in production
+// Replaced by Native-First notification system
+
+self.addEventListener('push', (event) => {
+  // DEPRECATED: Web-push only
+  const data = event.data ? event.data.json() : {};
+
+  const options = {
+    body: data.body,
+    icon: '/icon-192x192.png',
+    badge: '/badge-72x72.png',
+    data: data
+  };
+
+  event.waitUntil(
+    self.registration.showNotification(data.title, options)
+  );
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Configuration Cleanup
+
+#### VitePWA Plugin Configuration
+
+```javascript
+// DEPRECATED: VitePWA plugin configuration
+// This configuration is kept for reference but not used in production
+// Replaced by Native-First notification system
+
+import { VitePWA } from 'vite-plugin-pwa'
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  plugins: [
+    VitePWA({
+      // DEPRECATED: Web-push only
+      registerType: 'autoUpdate',
+      workbox: {
+        globPatterns: ['**/*.{js,css,html,ico,png,svg}']
+      },
+      includeAssets: ['favicon.ico', 'apple-touch-icon.png', 'masked-icon.svg'],
+      manifest: {
+        name: 'TimeSafari',
+        short_name: 'TimeSafari',
+        description: 'TimeSafari App',
+        theme_color: '#ffffff',
+        icons: [
+          {
+            src: 'pwa-192x192.png',
+            sizes: '192x192',
+            type: 'image/png'
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    })
+  ]
+})
+```
+
+#### Service Worker Build Configuration
+
+```javascript
+// DEPRECATED: Service worker build configuration
+// This configuration is kept for reference but not used in production
+// Replaced by Native-First notification system
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  build: {
+    rollupOptions: {
+      input: {
+        // DEPRECATED: Web-push only
+        sw: 'sw_scripts/notification-click.js'
+      }
+    }
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### 4. Test Cleanup
+
+#### Web Push Tests
+
+```javascript
+// DEPRECATED: Web push tests
+// These tests are kept for reference but not used in production
+// Replaced by Native-First notification system
+
+describe('Web Push Notifications (DEPRECATED)', () => {
+  // DEPRECATED: Web-push only
+  it('should handle push notifications', async () => {
+    // Test implementation kept for reference
+  });
+
+  // DEPRECATED: Web-push only
+  it('should handle notification clicks', async () => {
+    // Test implementation kept for reference
+  });
+});
+```
+
+#### Service Worker Tests
+
+```javascript
+// DEPRECATED: Service worker tests
+// These tests are kept for reference but not used in production
+// Replaced by Native-First notification system
+
+describe('Service Worker (DEPRECATED)', () => {
+  // DEPRECATED: Web-push only
+  it('should register service worker', async () => {
+    // Test implementation kept for reference
+  });
+
+  // DEPRECATED: Web-push only
+  it('should handle push events', async () => {
+    // Test implementation kept for reference
+  });
+});
+```
