+
+### **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
+

+## 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

+## 3. Service Architecture
+
+### Service Organization
+
+```tree
+
+services/
+├── QRScanner/
+│   ├── WebInlineQRScanner.ts
+│   └── interfaces.ts
+├── platforms/
+│   ├── WebPlatformService.ts
+│   ├── CapacitorPlatformService.ts
+│   └── ElectronPlatformService.ts
+└── factory/
+    └── PlatformServiceFactory.ts
+
+```
+
+### Factory Pattern
+
+Use a **singleton factory** to select platform services via
+`process.env.VITE_PLATFORM`.
+
+## 4. Feature Guidelines
+
+### QR Code Scanning
+
+- Define `QRScannerService` interface.
+
+- Implement platform-specific classes (`WebInlineQRScanner`, Capacitor,
+
+  etc).
+
+- Provide `addListener` and `onStream` hooks for composability.
+
+### Deep Linking
+
+- URL format: `timesafari://<route>[/<param>][?query=value]`
+
+- Web: `router.beforeEach` → parse query
+
+- Capacitor: `App.addListener("appUrlOpen", …)`
+
+## 5. Build Process
+
+- `vite.config.common.mts` → shared config
+
+- Platform configs: `vite.config.web.mts`, `.capacitor.mts`,
+
+  `.electron.mts`
+
+- Use `process.env.VITE_PLATFORM` for conditional loading.
+
+```bash
+
+npm run build:web
+npm run build:capacitor
+npm run build:electron
+
+```
+
+## 6. Testing Strategy
+
+- **Unit Tests**: Jest for business logic and utilities
+
+- **E2E Tests**: Playwright for critical user journeys
+
+- **Platform Tests**: Test platform-specific implementations
+
+- **Integration Tests**: Test service interactions
+
+## 7. Key Principles
+
+### Platform Independence
+
+- **Abstract platform differences** behind interfaces
+
+- **Use factory pattern** for service selection
+
+- **Maintain consistent APIs** across platforms
+
+- **Graceful degradation** when features unavailable
+
+### Code Organization
+
+- **Single responsibility** for each service
+
+- **Interface segregation** for platform services
+
+- **Dependency injection** via mixins
+
+- **Composition over inheritance**

+# Time Safari Architecture — Examples and Testing
+
+> **Agent role**: Reference this file for architectural examples and
+  testing patterns when working with TimeSafari architecture.
+
+## Error Handling Patterns
+
+### Global Error Handler
+
+```typescript
+
+// main.ts
+app.config.errorHandler = (err, instance, info) => {
+  const componentName = instance?.$options?.name || 'Unknown';
+  logger.error(`[${componentName}] Vue error`, err, info);
+};
+
+window.addEventListener('unhandledrejection', (event) => {
+  logger.error('[Global] Unhandled promise rejection', event.reason);
+});
+
+```
+
+### Platform-Specific Error Wrapping
+
+```typescript
+
+// services/platforms/CapacitorPlatformService.ts
+export class CapacitorPlatformService {
+  async getFileContents(path: string): Promise<string> {
+    try {
+      const result = await Filesystem.readFile({
+        path: path,
+        encoding: 'utf8'
+      });
+      return result.data;
+    } catch (error) {
+      logger.error('[Capacitor API Error] Failed to read file', error, path);
+      throw new Error(`Failed to read file: ${path}`);
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+```
+
+## Testing Patterns
+
+### Platform-Specific Test Skipping
+
+```typescript
+
+// tests/QRScanner.test.ts
+describe('QRScanner Service', () => {
+  test('should start scanning on web', async () => {
+    test.skip(process.env.VITE_PLATFORM !== 'web', 'Web-only test');
+
+    const scanner = new WebInlineQRScanner();
+    await scanner.startScanning();
+    // Assert scanning started
+  });
+
+  test('should start scanning on mobile', async () => {
+    test.skip(process.env.VITE_PLATFORM !== 'capacitor', 'Mobile-only test');
+
+    const scanner = new CapacitorQRScanner();
+    await scanner.startScanning();
+    // Assert scanning started
+  });
+});
+
+```
+
+### Mock Service Testing
+
+```typescript
+
+// tests/mocks/QRScannerMock.ts
+export class QRScannerMock implements QRScannerService {
+  private isScanning = false;
+  private listeners: Map<string, Function[]> = new Map();
+
+  async startScanning(): Promise<void> {
+    this.isScanning = true;
+    this.emit('scanningStarted');
+  }
+
+  async stopScanning(): Promise<void> {
+    this.isScanning = false;
+    this.emit('scanningStopped');
+  }
+
+  addListener(event: string, callback: Function): void {
+    if (!this.listeners.has(event)) {
+      this.listeners.set(event, []);
+    }
+    this.listeners.get(event)!.push(callback);
+  }
+
+  removeListener(event: string, callback: Function): void {
+    const callbacks = this.listeners.get(event);
+    if (callbacks) {
+      const index = callbacks.indexOf(callback);
+      if (index > -1) {
+        callbacks.splice(index, 1);
+      }
+    }
+  }
+
+  private emit(event: string, ...args: any[]): void {
+    const callbacks = this.listeners.get(event);
+    if (callbacks) {
+      callbacks.forEach(callback => callback(...args));
+    }
+  }
+
+  getScanningState(): boolean {
+    return this.isScanning;
+  }
+}
+
+```
+
+## Integration Examples
+
+### Service Composition
+
+```typescript
+
+// services/QRScannerService.ts
+export class QRScannerService {
+  constructor(
+    private platformService: PlatformService,
+    private notificationService: NotificationService
+  ) {}
+
+  async startScanning(): Promise<void> {
+    try {
+      await this.platformService.startCamera();
+      this.notificationService.show('Camera started');
+    } catch (error) {
+      this.notificationService.showError('Failed to start camera');
+      throw error;
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+```
+
+### Component Integration
+
+```typescript
+
+// components/QRScannerDialog.vue
+export default class QRScannerDialog extends Vue {
+  @Inject() private qrScannerService!: QRScannerService;
+
+  async mounted() {
+    try {
+      await this.qrScannerService.startScanning();
+    } catch (error) {
+      this.$notify.error('Failed to start scanner');
+    }
+  }
+
+  beforeDestroy() {
+    this.qrScannerService.stopScanning();
+  }
+}
+
+```
+

+# Time Safari Architecture — Implementation Details
+
+> **Agent role**: Reference this file for detailed implementation details when
+  working with TimeSafari architecture implementation.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- Global Vue error handler → logs with component name.
+
+- Platform-specific wrappers log API errors with platform prefix
+
+  (`[Capacitor API Error]`, etc).
+
+- Use structured logging (not `console.log`).
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- Keep platform code **isolated** in `platforms/`.
+
+- Always define a **shared interface** first.
+
+- Use feature detection, not platform detection, when possible.
+
+- Dependency injection for services → improves testability.
+
+- Maintain **Competence Hooks** in PRs (2–3 prompts for dev
+
+  discussion).
+
+## Dependency Management
+
+- Key deps: `@capacitor/core`, `electron`, `vue`.
+
+- Use conditional `import()` for platform-specific libs.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- **Permissions**: Always check + request gracefully.
+
+- **Storage**: Secure storage for sensitive data; encrypt when possible.
+
+- **Audits**: Schedule quarterly security reviews.
+
+## ADR Process
+
+- All major architecture choices → log in `doc/adr/`.
+
+- Use ADR template with Context, Decision, Consequences, Status.
+
+- Link related ADRs in PR descriptions.
+
+> 🔗 **Human Hook:** When proposing a new ADR, schedule a 30-min
+> design sync for discussion, not just async review.
+
+## Collaboration Hooks
+
+- **QR features**: Sync with Security before merging → permissions &
+
+  privacy.
+
+- **New platform builds**: Demo in team meeting → confirm UX
+
+  differences.
+
+- **Critical ADRs**: Present in guild or architecture review.
+
+## Testing Implementation
+
+- **Unit tests** for services.
+
+- **Playwright** for Web + Capacitor:
+
+  - `playwright.config-local.ts` includes web + Pixel 5.
+
+- **Electron tests**: add `spectron` or Playwright-Electron.
+
+- Mark tests with platform tags:
+
+  ```ts
+
+  test.skip(!process.env.MOBILE_TEST, "Mobile-only test");
+
+  ```
+
+> 🔗 **Human Hook:** Before merging new tests, hold a short sync (≤15
+> min) with QA to align on coverage and flaky test risks.
+
+## Self-Check
+
+- [ ] Does this feature implement a shared interface?
+
+- [ ] Are fallbacks + errors handled gracefully?
+
+- [ ] Have relevant ADRs been updated/linked?
+
+- [ ] Did I add competence hooks or prompts for the team?
+
+- [ ] Was human interaction (sync/review/demo) scheduled?

+# Time Safari Architecture — Patterns and Examples
+
+> **Agent role**: Reference this file for architectural patterns and
+> examples when working with TimeSafari architecture design.
+
+## Architectural Patterns
+
+### Factory Pattern Implementation
+
+```typescript
+// PlatformServiceFactory.ts
+export class PlatformServiceFactory {
+  private static instance: PlatformServiceFactory;
+
+  static getInstance(): PlatformServiceFactory {
+    if (!PlatformServiceFactory.instance) {
+      PlatformServiceFactory.instance = new PlatformServiceFactory();
+    }
+    return PlatformServiceFactory.instance;
+  }
+
+  getQRScannerService(): QRScannerService {
+    const platform = process.env.VITE_PLATFORM;
+
+    switch (platform) {
+      case 'web':
+        return new WebInlineQRScanner();
+      case 'capacitor':
+        return new CapacitorQRScanner();
+      case 'electron':
+        return new ElectronQRScanner();
+      default:
+        throw new Error(`Unsupported platform: ${platform}`);
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Service Interface Definition
+
+```typescript
+// interfaces/QRScannerService.ts
+export interface QRScannerService {
+  startScanning(): Promise<void>;
+  stopScanning(): Promise<void>;
+  addListener(event: string, callback: Function): void;
+  removeListener(event: string, callback: Function): void;
+}
+```
+
+### Platform-Specific Implementation
+
+```typescript
+// services/QRScanner/WebInlineQRScanner.ts
+export class WebInlineQRScanner implements QRScannerService {
+  private listeners: Map<string, Function[]> = new Map();
+
+  async startScanning(): Promise<void> {
+    // Web-specific implementation
+    const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true });
+    // Process video stream for QR codes
+  }
+
+  async stopScanning(): Promise<void> {
+    // Stop video stream
+  }
+
+  addListener(event: string, callback: Function): void {
+    if (!this.listeners.has(event)) {
+      this.listeners.set(event, []);
+    }
+    this.listeners.get(event)!.push(callback);
+  }
+
+  removeListener(event: string, callback: Function): void {
+    const callbacks = this.listeners.get(event);
+    if (callbacks) {
+      const index = callbacks.indexOf(callback);
+      if (index > -1) {
+        callbacks.splice(index, 1);
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Deep Linking Implementation
+
+### URL Format
+
+```
+timesafari://<route>[/<param>][?query=value]
+```
+
+### Web Implementation
+
+```typescript
+// router/index.ts
+router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
+  // Parse deep link parameters
+  if (to.query.deepLink) {
+    const deepLink = to.query.deepLink as string;
+    // Process deep link
+    handleDeepLink(deepLink);
+  }
+  next();
+});
+
+function handleDeepLink(deepLink: string) {
+  // Parse and route deep link
+  const url = new URL(deepLink);
+  const route = url.pathname;
+  const params = url.searchParams;
+
+  // Navigate to appropriate route
+  router.push({ name: route, query: Object.fromEntries(params) });
+}
+```
+
+### Capacitor Implementation
+
+```typescript
+// main.capacitor.ts
+import { App } from '@capacitor/app';
+
+App.addListener('appUrlOpen', (data) => {
+  const url = data.url;
+  // Parse deep link and navigate
+  handleDeepLink(url);
+});
+```
+
+## Platform Detection
+
+### Feature Detection vs Platform Detection
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Good: Feature detection
+function hasCameraAccess(): boolean {
+  return 'mediaDevices' in navigator &&
+         'getUserMedia' in navigator.mediaDevices;
+}
+
+// ❌ Bad: Platform detection
+function isWeb(): boolean {
+  return process.env.VITE_PLATFORM === 'web';
+}
+```
+
+### Conditional Imports
+
+```typescript
+// services/platforms/index.ts
+export async function getPlatformService() {
+  const platform = process.env.VITE_PLATFORM;
+
+  switch (platform) {
+    case 'capacitor':
+      const { CapacitorPlatformService } =
+        await import('./CapacitorPlatformService');
+      return new CapacitorPlatformService();
+    case 'electron':
+      const { ElectronPlatformService } =
+        await import('./ElectronPlatformService');
+      return new ElectronPlatformService();
+    default:
+      const { WebPlatformService } =
+        await import('./WebPlatformService');
+      return new WebPlatformService();
+  }
+}

+# Time Safari Context
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer
+**Date**: 2025-08-19
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Core application context
+
+## Project Overview
+
+Time Safari is an application designed to foster community building through
+gifts, gratitude, and collaborative projects. The app makes it easy and
+intuitive for users of any age and capability to recognize contributions,
+build trust networks, and organize collective action. It is built on services
+that preserve privacy and data sovereignty.
+
+## Core Goals
+
+1. **Connect**: Make it easy, rewarding, and non-threatening for people to
+
+   connect with others who have similar interests, and to initiate activities
+   together.
+
+2. **Reveal**: Widely advertise the great support and rewards that are being
+
+   given and accepted freely, especially non-monetary ones, showing the impact
+   gifts make in people's lives.
+
+## Technical Foundation
+
+### Architecture
+
+- **Privacy-preserving claims architecture** via endorser.ch
+
+- **Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)**: User identities based on
+
+  public/private key pairs stored on devices
+
+- **Cryptographic Verification**: All claims and confirmations are
+
+  cryptographically signed
+
+- **User-Controlled Visibility**: Users explicitly control who can see their
+
+  identifiers and data
+
+- **Cross-Platform**: Web (PWA), Mobile (Capacitor), Desktop (Electron)
+
+### Current Database State
+
+- **Database**: SQLite via Absurd SQL (browser) and native SQLite
+
+  (mobile/desktop)
+
+- **Legacy Support**: IndexedDB (Dexie) for backward compatibility
+
+- **Status**: Modern database architecture fully implemented
+
+### Core Technologies
+
+- **Frontend**: Vue 3 + TypeScript + vue-facing-decorator
+
+- **Styling**: TailwindCSS
+
+- **Build**: Vite with platform-specific configs
+
+- **Testing**: Playwright E2E, Jest unit tests
+
+- **Database**: SQLite (Absurd SQL in browser), IndexedDB (legacy)
+
+- **State**: Pinia stores
+
+- **Platform Services**: Abstracted behind interfaces with factory pattern
+
+## Development Principles
+
+### Code Organization
+
+- **Platform Services**: Abstract platform-specific code behind interfaces
+
+- **Service Factory**: Use `PlatformServiceFactory` for platform selection
+
+- **Type Safety**: Strict TypeScript, no `any` types, use type guards
+
+- **Modern Architecture**: Use current platform service patterns
+
+### Architecture Patterns
+
+- **Dependency Injection**: Services injected via mixins and factory pattern
+
+- **Interface Segregation**: Small, focused interfaces over large ones

+
+- **Single Responsibility**: Each component/service has one clear purpose
+
+### Testing Strategy
+
+- **E2E**: Playwright for critical user journeys
+
+- **Unit**: Jest with F.I.R.S.T. principles
+
+- **Platform Coverage**: Web + Capacitor (Pixel 5) in CI
+
+- **Quality Assurance**: Comprehensive testing and validation
+

+# Time Safari Platforms — Platform-Specific Considerations
+
+> **Agent role**: Reference this file for platform-specific details when working
+  with TimeSafari development across different platforms.
+
+## Platform-Specific Considerations
+
+### Web (PWA)
+
+- **QR Scanning**: WebInlineQRScanner
+
+- **Deep Linking**: URL parameters
+
+- **File System**: Limited browser APIs
+
+- **Build**: `npm run build:web` (development build)
+
+### Mobile (Capacitor)
+
+- **QR Scanning**: @capacitor-mlkit/barcode-scanning
+
+- **Deep Linking**: App URL open events
+
+- **File System**: Capacitor Filesystem
+
+- **Build**: `npm run build:capacitor`
+
+### Desktop (Electron)
+
+- **File System**: Node.js fs
+
+- **Build**: `npm run build:electron`
+
+- **Distribution**: AppImage, DEB, DMG packages
+
+## Platform Compatibility Requirements
+
+### Cross-Platform Features
+
+- **Core functionality** must work identically across all platforms
+
+- **Platform-specific enhancements** should be additive, not required
+
+- **Fallback behavior** must be graceful when platform features unavailable
+
+### Platform-Specific Capabilities
+
+- **Web**: Browser APIs, PWA features, responsive design
+
+- **Mobile**: Native device features, offline capability, app store compliance
+
+- **Desktop**: File system access, system integration, native performance
+
+## Build and Distribution
+
+### Build Commands
+
+```bash
+
+# Web (development)
+
+npm run build:web
+
+# Mobile
+
+npm run build:capacitor
+npm run build:native
+
+# Desktop
+
+npm run build:electron
+npm run build:electron:appimage
+npm run build:electron:deb
+npm run build:electron:dmg
+
+```
+
+### Testing Commands
+
+```bash
+
+# Web E2E
+
+npm run test:web
+
+# Mobile
+
+npm run test:mobile
+npm run test:android
+npm run test:ios
+
+# Type checking
+
+npm run type-check
+npm run lint-fix
+
+```
+
+## Key Constraints
+
+1. **Privacy First**: User identifiers remain private except when explicitly
+
+   shared
+
+2. **Platform Compatibility**: Features must work across all target platforms
+
+3. **Performance**: Must remain performant on older/simpler devices
+
+4. **Modern Architecture**: New features should use current platform services
+
+5. **Offline Capability**: Key functionality should work offline when feasible
+
+## Use Cases to Support
+
+1. **Community Building**: Tools for finding others with shared interests
+
+2. **Project Coordination**: Easy proposal and collaboration on projects
+
+3. **Reputation Building**: Showcasing contributions and reliability
+

-## 3. Service Architecture
-
-### 3.1 Service Organization
-```
-services/
-├── QRScanner/           # QR code scanning service
-│   ├── WebInlineQRScanner.ts
-│   └── interfaces.ts
-├── platforms/          # Platform-specific services

-  private static instance: PlatformService | null = null;
-
-  public static getInstance(): PlatformService {
-    if (!PlatformServiceFactory.instance) {
-      const platform = process.env.VITE_PLATFORM || "web";
-      PlatformServiceFactory.instance = createPlatformService(platform);
-    }
-    return PlatformServiceFactory.instance;
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## 4. Feature Implementation Guidelines
-
-### 4.1 QR Code Scanning
-
-1. **Service Interface**
-```typescript
-interface QRScannerService {
-  checkPermissions(): Promise<boolean>;
-  requestPermissions(): Promise<boolean>;
-  isSupported(): Promise<boolean>;
-  startScan(): Promise<void>;
-  stopScan(): Promise<void>;
-  addListener(listener: ScanListener): void;
-  onStream(callback: (stream: MediaStream | null) => void): void;
-  cleanup(): Promise<void>;
-}
-```
-
-2. **Platform-Specific Implementation**
-```typescript
-// WebInlineQRScanner.ts
-export class WebInlineQRScanner implements QRScannerService {
-  private scanListener: ScanListener | null = null;
-  private isScanning = false;
-  private stream: MediaStream | null = null;
-  private events = new EventEmitter();
-
-  // Implementation of interface methods
-}
-```
-
-### 4.2 Deep Linking
-
-1. **URL Structure**
-```typescript
-// Format: timesafari://<route>[/<param>][?queryParam1=value1]
-interface DeepLinkParams {
-  route: string;
-  params?: Record<string, string>;
-  query?: Record<string, string>;
-}
-```
-
-2. **Platform Handlers**
-```typescript
-// Capacitor
-App.addListener("appUrlOpen", handleDeepLink);
-
-// Web
-router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
-  handleWebDeepLink(to.query);
-});
-```
-
-## 5. Build Process
-
-### 5.1 Environment Configuration
-```typescript
-// vite.config.common.mts
-export function createBuildConfig(mode: string) {
-  return {
-    define: {
-      'process.env.VITE_PLATFORM': JSON.stringify(mode),
-      // PWA is automatically enabled for web platforms via build configuration
-      __IS_MOBILE__: JSON.stringify(isCapacitor),
-      __USE_QR_READER__: JSON.stringify(!isCapacitor)
-    }
-  };
-}
-```
-
-### 5.2 Platform-Specific Builds
-
-```bash
-# Build commands from package.json
-"build:web": "vite build --config vite.config.web.mts",
-"build:capacitor": "vite build --config vite.config.capacitor.mts",
-"build:electron": "vite build --config vite.config.electron.mts"
-```
-
-## 6. Testing Strategy
-
-### 6.1 Test Configuration
-```typescript
-// playwright.config-local.ts
-const config: PlaywrightTestConfig = {
-  projects: [
-    {
-      name: 'web',
-      use: { browserName: 'chromium' }
-    },
-    {
-      name: 'mobile',
-      use: { ...devices['Pixel 5'] }
-    }
-  ]
-};
-```
-
-### 6.2 Platform-Specific Tests
-```typescript
-test('QR scanning works on mobile', async ({ page }) => {
-  test.skip(!process.env.MOBILE_TEST, 'Mobile-only test');
-  // Test implementation
-});
-```
-
-## 7. Error Handling
-
-### 7.1 Global Error Handler
-```typescript
-function setupGlobalErrorHandler(app: VueApp) {
-  app.config.errorHandler = (err, instance, info) => {
-    logger.error("[App Error]", {
-      error: err,
-      info,
-      component: instance?.$options.name
-    });
-  };
-}
-```
-
-### 7.2 Platform-Specific Error Handling
-```typescript
-// API error handling for Capacitor
-if (process.env.VITE_PLATFORM === 'capacitor') {
-  logger.error(`[Capacitor API Error] ${endpoint}:`, {
-    message: error.message,
-    status: error.response?.status
-  });
-}
-```
-
-## 8. Best Practices
-
-### 8.1 Code Organization
-- Use platform-specific directories for unique implementations
-- Share common code through service interfaces
-- Implement feature detection before using platform capabilities
-- Keep platform-specific code isolated in dedicated directories
-- Use TypeScript interfaces for cross-platform compatibility
-
-### 8.2 Platform Detection
-```typescript
-const platformService = PlatformServiceFactory.getInstance();
-const capabilities = platformService.getCapabilities();
-
-if (capabilities.hasCamera) {
-  // Implement camera features
-}
-```
-
-### 8.3 Feature Implementation
-1. Define platform-agnostic interface
-2. Create platform-specific implementations
-3. Use factory pattern for instantiation
-4. Implement graceful fallbacks
-5. Add comprehensive error handling
-6. Use dependency injection for better testability
-
-## 9. Dependency Management
-
-### 9.1 Platform-Specific Dependencies
-```json
-{
-  "dependencies": {
-    "@capacitor/core": "^6.2.0",
-    "electron": "^33.2.1",
-    "vue": "^3.4.0"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 9.2 Conditional Loading
-```typescript
-if (process.env.VITE_PLATFORM === 'capacitor') {
-  await import('@capacitor/core');
-}
-```
-
-## 10. Security Considerations
-
-### 10.1 Permission Handling
-```typescript
-async checkPermissions(): Promise<boolean> {
-  if (platformService.isCapacitor()) {
-    return await checkNativePermissions();
-  }
-  return await checkWebPermissions();
-}
-```
-
-### 10.2 Data Storage
-- Use secure storage mechanisms for sensitive data
-- Implement proper encryption for stored data
-- Follow platform-specific security guidelines
-- Regular security audits and updates
-
-This document should be updated as new features are added or platform-specific implementations change. Regular reviews ensure it remains current with the codebase.

+# Architecture Rules Directory
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer
+**Date**: 2025-08-20
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Architecture protection guidelines
+
+## Overview
+
+This directory contains MDC (Model Directive Configuration) rules that protect
+critical architectural components of the TimeSafari project. These rules ensure
+that changes to system architecture follow proper review, testing, and
+documentation procedures.
+
+## Available Rules
+
+### Build Architecture Guard (`build_architecture_guard.mdc`)
+
+Protects the multi-platform build system including:
+
+- Vite configuration files
+- Build scripts and automation
+- Platform-specific configurations (iOS, Android, Electron, Web)
+- Docker and deployment infrastructure
+- CI/CD pipeline components
+
+**When to use**: Any time you're modifying build scripts, configuration files,
+or deployment processes.
+
+**Authorization levels**:
+
+- **Level 1**: Minor changes (review required)
+- **Level 2**: Moderate changes (testing required)
+- **Level 3**: Major changes (ADR required)
+
+## Usage Guidelines
+
+### For Developers
+
+1. **Check the rule**: Before making architectural changes, review the relevant
+   rule
+2. **Follow the process**: Use the appropriate authorization level
+3. **Complete validation**: Run through the required checklist
+4. **Update documentation**: Keep BUILDING.md and related docs current
+
+### For Reviewers
+
+1. **Verify authorization**: Ensure changes match the required level
+2. **Check testing**: Confirm appropriate testing has been completed
+3. **Validate documentation**: Ensure BUILDING.md reflects changes
+4. **Assess risk**: Consider impact on other platforms and systems
+
+## Integration with Other Rules
+
+- **Version Control**: Works with `workflow/version_control.mdc`
+- **Research & Diagnostic**: Supports `research_diagnostic.mdc` for
+  investigations
+- **Software Development**: Aligns with development best practices
+- **Markdown Automation**: Integrates with `docs/markdown-automation.mdc` for
+  consistent documentation formatting
+
+## Emergency Procedures
+
+If architectural changes cause system failures:
+
+1. **Immediate rollback** to last known working state
+2. **Document the failure** with full error details
+3. **Investigate root cause** using diagnostic workflows
+4. **Update procedures** to prevent future failures

+# Build Testing — Requirements and Emergency Procedures
+
+> **Agent role**: Reference this file for testing requirements and
+  emergency procedures when working with build architecture changes.
+
+## Emergency Procedures
+
+### Build System Broken
+
+1. **Immediate**: Revert to last known working commit
+
+2. **Investigation**: Create issue with full error details
+
+3. **Testing**: Verify all platforms work after revert
+
+4. **Documentation**: Update `BUILDING.md` with failure notes
+
+### Platform-Specific Failure
+
+1. **Isolate**: Identify which platform is affected
+
+2. **Test Others**: Verify other platforms still work
+
+3. **Rollback**: Revert platform-specific changes
+
+4. **Investigation**: Debug in isolated environment
+
+## Rollback Playbook
+
+### Immediate Rollback
+
+1. `git revert` or `git reset --hard <prev>`; restore prior `scripts/` or config
+
+   files
+
+2. Rebuild affected targets; verify old behavior returns
+
+3. Post-mortem notes → update this guard and `BUILDING.md` if gaps found
+
+### Rollback Verification
+
+- **Web**: `npm run build:web:dev` and `npm run build:web:prod`
+
+- **Mobile**: `npm run build:android:test` and `npm run build:ios:test`
+
+- **Desktop**: `npm run build:electron:dev` and packaging commands
+
+- **Clean**: Run relevant `clean:*` scripts and verify re-build works
+
+### Android-Specific Rollback Verification
+
+- **Asset Generation**: `npm run build:android --assets` -
+
+  verify resources regenerate
+
+- **API Routing**: Test both `--dev` and `--dev --api-ip <custom>` modes
+
+- **Resource Validation**:
+
+  Check `android/app/src/main/res/` for all required assets
+
+- **Build Modes**: Verify development, test, and production modes all work
+
+- **Resource Fallback**:
+
+  Confirm missing resources trigger automatic regeneration
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### With Version Control
+
+- **Branch Protection**: Require reviews for build script changes
+
+- **Commit Messages**: Must reference ADR for major changes
+
+- **Testing**: All build changes must pass CI/CD pipeline
+
+### With Documentation
+
+- **BUILDING.md**: Must be updated for any script changes
+
+- **README.md**: Must reflect new build requirements
+
+- **CHANGELOG.md**: Must document breaking build changes
+
+### With Testing
+
+- **Pre-commit**: Run basic build validation
+
+- **CI/CD**: Full platform build testing
+
+- **Manual Testing**: Human verification of critical paths
+
+## Competence Hooks
+
+### Why This Works
+
+- **Prevents Build Failures**: Catches issues before they reach production
+
+- **Maintains Consistency**: Ensures all platforms build identically
+
+- **Reduces Debugging Time**: Prevents build system regressions
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+- **Silent Failures**: Changes that work on one platform but break others
+
+- **Dependency Conflicts**: Updates that create version incompatibilities
+
+- **Documentation Drift**: Build scripts that don't match documentation
+
+### Next Skill Unlock
+
+- Learn to test build changes across all platforms simultaneously
+
+### Teach-back
+
+- "What three platforms must I test before committing a build script change?"
+
+## Collaboration Hooks
+
+### Team Review Requirements
+
+- **Platform Owners**: iOS, Android, Electron, Web specialists
+
+- **DevOps**: CI/CD pipeline maintainers
+
+- **QA**: Testing infrastructure owners
+
+### Discussion Prompts
+
+- "Which platforms will be affected by this build change?"
+
+- "How can we test this change without breaking existing builds?"
+
+- "What's our rollback plan if this change fails?"
+
+## Self-Check (Before Allowing Changes)
+
+- [ ] **Authorization Level**: Is this change appropriate for the level?
+
+- [ ] **Testing Plan**: Is there a comprehensive testing strategy?
+
+- [ ] **Documentation**: Will BUILDING.md be updated?
+
+- [ ] **Rollback**: Is there a safe rollback mechanism?
+
+- [ ] **Team Review**: Have appropriate stakeholders been consulted?
+
+- [ ] **CI/CD**: Will this pass the build pipeline?
+

+# Base Context — Human Competence First
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer
+**Date**: 2025-08-19
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Core interaction guidelines
+
+## Purpose
+
+All interactions must _increase the human's competence over time_ while
+completing the task efficiently. The model may handle menial work and memory
+extension, but must also promote learning, autonomy, and healthy work habits.
+The model should also **encourage human interaction and collaboration** rather
+than replacing it — outputs should be designed to **facilitate human discussion,
+decision-making, and creativity**, not to atomize tasks into isolated, purely
+machine-driven steps.
+
+## Principles
+
+1. Competence over convenience: finish the task _and_ leave the human more
+
+   capable next time.
+
+2. Mentorship, not lectures: be concise, concrete, and immediately applicable.
+
+3. Transparency: show assumptions, limits, and uncertainty; cite when
+
+   non-obvious.
+
+4. Optional scaffolding: include small, skimmable learning hooks that do not
+
+   bloat output.
+
+5. Time respect: default to **lean output**; offer opt-in depth via toggles.
+
+6. Psychological safety: encourage, never condescend; no medical/clinical
+   advice. No censorship!
+7. Reusability: structure outputs so they can be saved, searched, reused, and
+   repurposed.
+8. **Collaborative Bias**: Favor solutions that invite human review,
+   discussion, and iteration. When in doubt, ask "Who should this be shown
+   to?" or "Which human input would improve this?"
+
+## Toggle Definitions
+
+### coaching_level
+
+Determines the depth of learning support: `light` (short hooks),
+`standard` (balanced), `deep` (detailed).
+
+### socratic_max_questions
+
+The number of clarifying questions the model may ask before proceeding.
+If >0, questions should be targeted, minimal, and followed by reasonable
+assumptions if unanswered.
+
+### verbosity
+
+'terse' (just a sentence), `concise` (minimum commentary), `normal`
+(balanced explanation), or other project-defined levels.
+
+### timebox_minutes
+
+_integer or null_ — When set to a positive integer (e.g., `5`), this acts
+as a **time budget** guiding the model to prioritize delivering the most
+essential parts of the task within that constraint.
+
+Behavior when set:
+
+1. **Prioritize Core Output** — Deliver the minimum viable solution or
+
+   result first.
+
+2. **Limit Commentary** — Competence Hooks and Collaboration Hooks must be
+
+   shorter than normal.
+
+3. **Signal Skipped Depth** — Omitted details should be listed under
+
+   _Deferred for depth_.
+
+4. **Order by Value** — Start with blocking or high-value items, then
+
+   proceed to nice-to-haves if budget allows.
+
+If `null`, there is no timebox — the model can produce full-depth
+responses.
+
+### format_enforcement
+
+`strict` (reject outputs with format drift) or `relaxed` (minor deviations
+acceptable).
+
+## Modes (select or combine)
+
+- **Doer**: produce the artifact fast, minimal commentary.
+
+- **Mentor**: add short "why/how" notes + next-step pointers.
+
+- **Socratic**: ask up to N targeted questions when requirements are
+
+  ambiguous.
+
+- **Pair-Programmer/Pair-Writer**: explain tradeoffs as you implement.
+
+- **Facilitator**: structure output to be reviewable, commentable, and
+
+  ready for group discussion.
+
+Default: Doer + short Mentor notes.
+
+## Competence & Collaboration Levers (keep lightweight)
+
+- "Why this works" (≤3 bullets)
+
+- "Common pitfalls" (≤3 bullets)
+
+- "Next skill unlock" (1 tiny action or reading)
+
+- "Teach-back" (1 sentence prompt the human can answer to self-check)
+
+- "Discussion prompts" (≤2 short questions for peers/stakeholders)
+
+## Output Contract (apply to every deliverable)
+
+- Clear **Objective** (1 line)
+
+- **Result** (artifact/code/answer)
+
+- **Use/Run** (how to apply/test)
+
+- **Competence Hooks** (the 4 learning levers above, kept terse)
+
+- **Collaboration Hooks** (discussion prompts or group review steps)
+
+- **Assumptions & Limits**
+
+- **References** (if used; links or titles)
+
+## Do-Not
+
+- No filler, hedging, or moralizing.
+
+- No medical/mental-health advice; keep "healthy habits" to general work
+
+  practices.
+
+- No invented facts; mark uncertainty plainly.
+
+- No censorship.
+
+- Avoid outputs that bypass human review when such review is valuable.
+
+## Related Rulesets

+# Harbor Pilot Universal — Technical Guide Standards
+
+> **Agent role**: When creating technical guides, reference documents, or
+> implementation plans, apply these universal directives to ensure consistent
+> quality and structure.
+
+## Purpose
+
+- **Purpose fit**: Prioritizes human competence and collaboration while
+  delivering reproducible artifacts.
+
+- **Output Contract**: This directive **adds universal constraints** for any
+  technical topic while **inheriting** the Base Context contract sections.
+
+- **Toggles honored**: Uses the same toggle semantics; defaults above can be
+  overridden by the caller.
+
+## Core Directive
+
+Produce a **developer-grade, reproducible guide** for any technical topic
+that onboards a competent practitioner **without meta narration** and **with
+evidence-backed steps**.
+
+## Required Elements
+
+### 1. Time & Date Standards
+
+- Use **absolute dates** in **UTC** (e.g., `2025-08-21T14:22Z`) — avoid
+  "today/yesterday".
+
+- Include at least **one diagram** (Mermaid preferred). Choose the most
+  fitting type:
+
+  - `sequenceDiagram` (protocols/flows), `flowchart`, `stateDiagram`,
+    `gantt` (timelines), or `classDiagram` (schemas).
+
+### 2. Evidence Requirements
+
+- **Reproducible Steps**: Every claim must have copy-paste commands
+
+- **Verifiable Outputs**: Include expected results, status codes, or
+  error messages
+
+- **Cite evidence** for _Works/Doesn't_ items (timestamps, filenames,
+  line numbers, IDs/status codes, or logs).
+
+## Required Sections
+
+Follow this exact order **after** the Base Contract's **Objective → Result
+→ Use/Run** headers:
+
+1. **Artifacts & Links** - Repos/PRs, design docs, datasets/HARs/pcaps,
+   scripts/tools, dashboards.
+
+2. **Environment & Preconditions** - OS/runtime, versions/build IDs,
+   services/endpoints/URLs, credentials/auth mode.
+
+3. **Architecture / Process Overview** - Short prose + **one diagram**
+   selected from the list above.
+
+4. **Interfaces & Contracts** - Choose one: API-based (endpoint table),
+   Data/Files (I/O contract), or Systems/Hardware (interfaces).
+
+5. **Repro: End-to-End Procedure** - Minimal copy-paste steps with
+   code/commands and **expected outputs**.
+6. **What Works (with Evidence)** - Each item: **Time (UTC)** •
+   **Artifact/Req IDs** • **Status/Result** • **Where to verify**.
+7. **What Doesn't (Evidence & Hypotheses)** - Each failure: locus,
+   evidence snippet; short hypothesis and **next probe**.
+8. **Risks, Limits, Assumptions** - SLOs/limits, rate/size caps,
+   security boundaries, retries/backoff/idempotency patterns.
+9. **Next Steps (Owner • Exit Criteria • Target Date)** - Actionable,
+   assigned, and time-bound.
+
+## Quality Standards
+
+### Do
+
+- **Do** quantify progress only against a defined scope with acceptance
+  criteria.
+
+- **Do** include minimal sample payloads/headers or I/O schemas; redact
+  sensitive values.
+
+- **Do** keep commentary lean; if timeboxed, move depth to **Deferred
+  for depth**.
+
+- **Do** use specific, actionable language that guides implementation.
+
+### Don't
+
+- **Don't** use marketing language or meta narration ("Perfect!",
+  "tool called", "new chat").
+
+- **Don't** include IDE-specific chatter or internal rules unrelated to
+  the task.
+
+- **Don't** assume reader knowledge; provide context for all technical
+  decisions.
+
+## Model Implementation Checklist
+
+### Before Creating Technical Guides
+
+- [ ] **Scope Definition**: Clearly define problem, audience, and scope
+- [ ] **Evidence Collection**: Gather specific timestamps, file references, and logs
+- [ ] **Diagram Planning**: Plan appropriate diagram type for the technical process
+- [ ] **Template Selection**: Choose relevant sections from required sections list

+# Minimalist Solution Principle (Cursor MDC)
+
+role: Engineering assistant optimizing for least-complex changes
+focus: Deliver the smallest viable diff that fully resolves the current
+bug/feature. Defer generalization unless justified with evidence.
+language: Match repository languages and conventions
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **Default to the least complex solution.** Fix the problem directly
+   where it occurs; avoid new layers, indirection, or patterns unless
+   strictly necessary.
+2. **Keep scope tight.** Implement only what is needed to satisfy the
+   acceptance criteria and tests for _this_ issue.
+3. **Avoid speculative abstractions.** Use the **Rule of Three**:
+   don't extract helpers/patterns until the third concrete usage proves
+   the shape.
+4. **No drive-by refactors.** Do not rename, reorder, or reformat
+   unrelated code in the same change set.
+5. **Minimize surface area.** Prefer local changes over cross-cutting
+   rewires; avoid new public APIs unless essential.
+6. **Be dependency-frugal.** Do not add packages or services for
+   single, simple needs unless there's a compelling, documented reason.
+7. **Targeted tests only.** Add the smallest set of tests that prove
+   the fix and guard against regression; don't rewrite suites.
+8. **Document the "why enough."** Include a one-paragraph note
+   explaining why this minimal solution is sufficient _now_.
+
+## Future-Proofing Requires Evidence + Discussion
+
+Any added complexity "for the future" **must** include:
+
+- A referenced discussion/ADR (or issue link) summarizing the decision.
+- **Substantial evidence**, e.g.:
+  - Recurring incidents or tickets that this prevents (list IDs).
+  - Benchmarks or profiling showing a real bottleneck.
+  - Concrete upcoming requirements with dates/owners, not hypotheticals.
+  - Risk assessment comparing maintenance cost vs. expected benefit.
+- A clear trade-off table showing why minimal won't suffice.
+
+If this evidence is not available, **ship the minimal fix** and open a
+follow-up discussion item.
+
+## PR / Change Checklist (enforced by reviewer + model)
+
+- [ ] Smallest diff that fully fixes the issue (attach `git diff --stat`
+  if useful).
+- [ ] No unrelated refactors or formatting.
+- [ ] No new dependencies, or justification + ADR link provided.
+- [ ] Abstractions only if ≥3 call sites or strong evidence says
+  otherwise (cite).
+- [ ] Targeted tests proving the fix/regression guard.
+- [ ] Short "Why this is enough now" note in the PR description.
+- [ ] Optional: "Future Work (non-blocking)" section listing deferred
+  ideas.
+
+## Assistant Output Contract
+
+When proposing a change, provide:
+
+1. **Minimal Plan**: 3–6 bullet steps scoped to the immediate fix.
+2. **Patch Sketch**: Focused diffs/snippets touching only necessary
+   files.
+3. **Risk & Rollback**: One paragraph each on risk, quick rollback,
+   and test points.
+4. **(If proposing complexity)**: Link/inline ADR summary + evidence +
+   trade-offs; otherwise default to minimal.
+
+  One paragraph each on risk, quick rollback, and test points.
+5. **(If proposing complexity)**: Link/inline ADR summary + evidence +
+   trade-offs; otherwise default to minimal.
+
+## Model Implementation Checklist
+
+### Before Proposing Changes
+
+- [ ] **Problem Analysis**: Clearly understand the specific issue scope
+- [ ] **Evidence Review**: Gather evidence that justifies the change
+- [ ] **Complexity Assessment**: Evaluate if change requires added complexity
+- [ ] **Alternative Research**: Consider simpler solutions first
+
+### During Change Design
+
+- [ ] **Minimal Scope**: Design solution that addresses only the current issue
+- [ ] **Evidence Integration**: Include specific evidence for any complexity
+- [ ] **Dependency Review**: Minimize new dependencies and packages
+- [ ] **Testing Strategy**: Plan minimal tests that prove the fix
+
+### After Change Design
+
+- [ ] **Self-Review**: Verify solution follows minimalist principles
+- [ ] **Evidence Validation**: Confirm all claims have supporting evidence
+- [ ] **Complexity Justification**: Document why minimal approach suffices
+- [ ] **Future Work Planning**: Identify deferred improvements for later

+
 - Never block the main thread with database operations
 
 ### 2. Code Organization
+
 - Keep worker code in separate files (e.g., `*.worker.js`)
+
 - Use ES modules for imports/exports
+
 - Follow the project's existing module structure
 
 ### 3. Required Headers
+
 When developing locally or deploying, ensure these headers are set:
+
 ```
+
 Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin
 Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp
+
 ```
 
 ### 4. Browser Compatibility
+
 - Primary target: Modern browsers with SharedArrayBuffer support
+
 - Fallback mode: Safari (with limitations)
+
 - Always test in both modes
 
 ### 5. Database Configuration
+
 Recommended database settings:
+
 ```sql
+
 PRAGMA journal_mode=MEMORY;
 PRAGMA page_size=8192;  -- Optional, but recommended
+
 ```
 
 ### 6. Development Workflow
+
 1. Install dependencies:
+
    ```bash
+
    yarn add @jlongster/sql.js absurd-sql
+
    ```
 
 2. Development commands:
+
    - `yarn build` - Build the project
+
    - `yarn jest` - Run tests
+
    - `yarn serve` - Start development server
 
 ### 7. Testing Guidelines
+
 - Write tests for both SharedArrayBuffer and fallback modes
+
 - Use Jest for testing
+
 - Include performance benchmarks for critical operations
 
 ### 8. Performance Considerations
+
 - Use bulk operations when possible
+
 - Monitor read/write performance
+
 - Consider using transactions for multiple operations
+
 - Avoid unnecessary database connections
 
 ### 9. Error Handling
+
 - Implement proper error handling for:
+
   - Worker initialization failures
+
   - Database connection issues
+
   - Concurrent access conflicts (in fallback mode)
+
   - Storage quota exceeded scenarios
 
 ### 10. Security Best Practices
+
 - Never expose database operations directly to the client
+
 - Validate all SQL queries
+
 - Implement proper access controls
+
 - Handle sensitive data appropriately
 
 ### 11. Code Style
+
 - Follow ESLint configuration
+
 - Use async/await for asynchronous operations
+
 - Document complex database operations
+
 - Include comments for non-obvious optimizations
 
 ### 12. Debugging
+
 - Use `jest-debug` for debugging tests
+
 - Monitor IndexedDB usage in browser dev tools
+
 - Check worker communication in console
+
 - Use performance monitoring tools

 ```
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
 ### Common Issues
+
 1. SharedArrayBuffer not available
+
    - Check COOP/COEP headers
+
    - Verify browser support
+
    - Test fallback mode
 
 2. Worker initialization failures
+
    - Check file paths
+
    - Verify module imports
+
    - Check browser console for errors
 
 3. Performance issues
+
    - Monitor IndexedDB usage
+
    - Check for unnecessary operations
+
    - Verify transaction usage

+# Asset Configuration Directive
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer
+**Date**: 2025-08-19
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Asset management guidelines
+
+_Scope: Assets Only (icons, splashes, image pipelines) — not overall build
+orchestration_
+
+## Intent
+
+- Version **asset configuration files** (optionally dev-time generated).
+
+- **Do not** version platform asset outputs (Android/iOS/Electron); generate
+
+  them **at build-time** with standard tools.
+
+- Keep existing per-platform build scripts unchanged.
+
+## Source of Truth
+
+- **Preferred (Capacitor default):** `resources/` as the single master source.
+
+- **Alternative:** `assets/` is acceptable **only** if `capacitor-assets` is
+
+  explicitly configured to read from it.
+
+- **Never** maintain both `resources/` and `assets/` as parallel sources.
+
+  Migrate and delete the redundant folder.
+
+## Config Files
+
+- Live under: `config/assets/` (committed).
+
+- Examples:
+
+  - `config/assets/capacitor-assets.config.json` (or the path the tool
+
+    expects)
+
+  - `config/assets/android.assets.json`
+
+  - `config/assets/ios.assets.json`
+
+  - `config/assets/common.assets.yaml` (optional shared layer)
+
+- **Dev-time generation allowed** for these configs; **build-time
+
+  generation is forbidden**.
+
+## Build-Time Behavior
+
+- Build generates platform assets (not configs) using the standard chain:
+
+```bash
+
+npm run build:capacitor        # web build via Vite (.mts)
+npx cap sync
+npx capacitor-assets generate  # produces platform assets; not committed
+
+# then platform-specific build steps
+
+```
+
+---
+
+**Status**: Active asset management directive
+**Priority**: Medium
+**Estimated Effort**: Ongoing reference
+**Dependencies**: capacitor-assets toolchain
+**Stakeholders**: Development team, Build team
+
+  npx capacitor-assets generate  # produces platform assets; not committed
+
+# then platform-specific build steps
+
+## Model Implementation Checklist
+
+### Before Asset Configuration
+
+- [ ] **Source Review**: Identify current asset source location (`resources/` or
+  `assets/`)
+- [ ] **Tool Assessment**: Verify capacitor-assets toolchain is available
+- [ ] **Config Planning**: Plan configuration file structure and location
+- [ ] **Platform Analysis**: Understand asset requirements for all target platforms
+
+### During Asset Configuration
+
+- [ ] **Source Consolidation**: Ensure single source of truth (prefer `resources/`)
+- [ ] **Config Creation**: Create platform-specific asset configuration files
+- [ ] **Tool Integration**: Configure capacitor-assets to read from correct source
+- [ ] **Build Integration**: Integrate asset generation into build pipeline
+
+### After Asset Configuration
+
+- [ ] **Build Testing**: Verify assets generate correctly at build time
+- [ ] **Platform Validation**: Test asset generation across all platforms
+- [ ] **Documentation**: Update build documentation with asset generation steps
+- [ ] **Team Communication**: Communicate asset workflow changes to team

+# Dependency Management — Best Practices
+
+> **Agent role**: Reference this file for dependency management strategies and
+  best practices when working with software projects.
+
+## Dependency Management Best Practices
+
+### Pre-build Validation
+
+- **Check Critical Dependencies**:
+
+  Validate essential tools before executing build
+  scripts
+
+- **Use npx for Local Dependencies**: Prefer `npx tsx` over direct `tsx` to
+
+  avoid PATH issues
+
+- **Environment Consistency**: Ensure all team members have identical dependency
+
+  versions
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+- **Missing npm install**: Team members cloning without running `npm install`
+
+- **PATH Issues**: Direct command execution vs. npm script execution differences
+
+- **Version Mismatches**: Different Node.js/npm versions across team members
+
+### Validation Strategies
+
+- **Dependency Check Scripts**: Implement pre-build validation for critical
+
+  dependencies
+
+- **Environment Requirements**:
+
+  Document and enforce minimum Node.js/npm versions
+
+- **Onboarding Checklist**: Standardize team member setup procedures
+
+### Error Messages and Guidance
+
+- **Specific Error Context**:
+
+  Provide clear guidance when dependency issues occur
+
+- **Actionable Solutions**: Direct users to specific commands (`npm install`,
+
+  `npm run check:dependencies`)
+
+- **Environment Diagnostics**: Implement comprehensive environment validation
+
+  tools
+
+### Build Script Enhancements
+
+- **Early Validation**: Check dependencies before starting build processes
+
+- **Graceful Degradation**: Continue builds when possible but warn about issues
+
+- **Helpful Tips**: Remind users about dependency management best practices
+
+## Environment Setup Guidelines
+
+### Required Tools
+
+- **Node.js**: Minimum version requirements and LTS recommendations
+
+- **npm**: Version compatibility and global package management
+
+- **Platform-specific tools**: Android SDK, Xcode, etc.
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+- **NODE_ENV**: Development, testing, production environments
+
+- **PATH**: Ensure tools are accessible from command line
+
+- **Platform-specific**: Android SDK paths, Xcode command line tools
+
+### Validation Commands
+
+```bash
+
+# Check Node.js version
+
+node --version
+
+# Check npm version
+
+npm --version
+
+# Check global packages
+
+npm list -g --depth=0
+
+# Validate platform tools
+
+npx capacitor doctor
+
+```
+
+## Dependency Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Permission Errors**: Use `sudo` sparingly, prefer `npm config set prefix`
+
+2. **Version Conflicts**: Use `npm ls` to identify dependency conflicts
+
+3. **Cache Issues**: Clear npm cache with `npm cache clean --force`
+
+4. **Lock File Issues**: Delete `package-lock.json` and `node_modules`,
+
+  then reinstall
+
+### Resolution Strategies
+
+- **Dependency Audit**: Run `npm audit` to identify security issues
+
+- **Version Pinning**: Use exact versions for critical dependencies
+
+- **Peer Dependency Management**: Ensure compatible versions across packages
+
+- **Platform-specific Dependencies**: Handle different requirements per platform
+
+## Best Practices for Teams
+
+### Onboarding
+
+- **Environment Setup Script**: Automated setup for new team members
+
+- **Version Locking**: Use `package-lock.json` and `yarn.lock` consistently
+
+- **Documentation**: Clear setup instructions with troubleshooting steps
+
+### Maintenance
+
+- **Regular Updates**: Schedule dependency updates and security patches
+
+- **Testing**: Validate changes don't break existing functionality
+
+- **Rollback Plan**: Maintain ability to revert to previous working versions
+
+**See also**:
+  `.cursor/rules/development/software_development.mdc` for core development principles.

+# Historical Comment Management — Code Clarity Guidelines
+
+> **Agent role**: When encountering historical comments about removed
+> methods, deprecated patterns, or architectural changes, apply these
+> guidelines to maintain code clarity and developer guidance.
+
+## Overview
+
+Historical comments should either be **removed entirely** or **transformed
+into actionable guidance** for future developers. Avoid keeping comments
+that merely state what was removed without explaining why or what to do
+instead.
+
+## Decision Framework
+
+### When to Remove Comments
+
+- **Obsolete Information**: Comment describes functionality that no
+  longer exists
+- **Outdated Context**: Comment refers to old patterns that are no
+  longer relevant
+- **No Actionable Value**: Comment doesn't help future developers
+  make decisions
+
+### When to Transform Comments
+
+- **Migration Guidance**: Future developers might need to understand
+  the evolution
+- **Alternative Approaches**: The comment can guide future
+  implementation choices
+- **Historical Context**: Understanding the change helps with
+  current decisions
+
+## Transformation Patterns
+
+### 1. **Removed Method** → **Alternative Approach**
+
+```typescript
+// Before: Historical comment
+// turnOffNotifyingFlags method removed - notification state is now
+// managed by NotificationSection component
+
+// After: Actionable guidance
+// Note: Notification state management has been migrated to
+// NotificationSection component
+```
+
+### 2. **Deprecated Pattern** → **Current Best Practice**
+
+```typescript
+// Before: Historical comment
+// Database access has been migrated from direct IndexedDB calls to
+// PlatformServiceMixin
+
+// After: Actionable guidance
+// This provides better platform abstraction and consistent error
+// handling across web/mobile/desktop
+
+// When adding new database operations, use this.$getContact(),
+// this.$saveSettings(), etc.
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. **Use Actionable Language**: Guide future decisions, not just
+
+document history
+
+### 2. **Provide Alternatives**: Always suggest what to use instead
+
+### 3. **Update Related Docs**: If removing from code, consider
+
+adding to documentation
+
+### 4. **Keep Context**: Include enough information to understand
+
+why the change was made
+
+## Integration Points
+
+- Apply these rules when reviewing code changes
+- Use during code cleanup and refactoring
+- Include in code review checklists
+
+---
+
+**See also**:
+
+- `.cursor/rules/development/historical_comment_patterns.mdc` for detailed
+  transformation examples and patterns
+
+**Status**: Active comment management guidelines
+**Priority**: Medium
+**Estimated Effort**: Ongoing reference
+**Dependencies**: None
+**Stakeholders**: Development team, Code reviewers
+
+## Model Implementation Checklist
+
+### Before Comment Review
+
+- [ ] **Code Analysis**: Review code for historical or outdated comments
+- [ ] **Context Understanding**: Understand the current state of the codebase
+- [ ] **Pattern Identification**: Identify comments that need transformation or removal
+- [ ] **Documentation Planning**: Plan where to move important historical context
+
+### During Comment Management
+
+- [ ] **Transformation**: Convert historical comments to actionable guidance
+- [ ] **Alternative Provision**: Suggest current best practices and alternatives
+- [ ] **Context Preservation**: Maintain enough information to understand changes
+- [ ] **Documentation Update**: Move important context to appropriate documentation
+
+### After Comment Management
+
+- [ ] **Code Review**: Ensure transformed comments provide actionable value
+- [ ] **Documentation Sync**: Verify related documentation is updated
+- [ ] **Team Communication**: Share comment transformation patterns with team
+- [ ] **Process Integration**: Include comment management in code review checklists

+# Historical Comment Patterns — Transformation Examples
+
+> **Agent role**: Reference this file for specific patterns and
+  examples when transforming historical comments into actionable guidance.
+
+## 🔄 Transformation Patterns
+
+### 1. From Removal Notice to Migration Note
+
+```typescript
+
+// ❌ REMOVE THIS
+// turnOffNotifyingFlags method removed - 
+  notification state is now managed by NotificationSection component
+
+// ✅ TRANSFORM TO THIS
+// Note: Notification state management has been migrated to NotificationSection
+  component
+// which handles its own lifecycle and persistence via PlatformServiceMixin
+
+```
+
+### 2. From Deprecation Notice to Implementation Guide
+
+```typescript
+
+// ❌ REMOVE THIS
+// This will be handled by the NewComponent now
+// No need to call oldMethod() as it's no longer needed
+
+// ✅ TRANSFORM TO THIS
+// Note: This functionality has been migrated to NewComponent
+// which provides better separation of concerns and testability
+
+```
+
+### 3. From Historical Note to Architectural Context
+
+```typescript
+
+// ❌ REMOVE THIS
+// Old approach: used direct database calls
+// New approach: uses service layer
+
+// ✅ TRANSFORM TO THIS
+// Note: Database access has been abstracted through service layer
+// for better testability and platform independence
+
+```
+
+## 🚫 Anti-Patterns to Remove
+
+- Comments that only state what was removed
+
+- Comments that don't explain the current approach
+
+- Comments that reference non-existent methods
+
+- Comments that are self-evident from the code
+
+- Comments that don't help future decision-making
+
+## 📚 Examples
+
+### Good Historical Comment (Keep & Transform)
+
+```typescript
+
+// Note: Database access has been migrated from direct IndexedDB calls to
+  PlatformServiceMixin
+// This provides better platform abstraction and 
+  consistent error handling across web/mobile/desktop
+// When adding new database operations, use this.$getContact(),
+  this.$saveSettings(), etc.
+
+```
+
+### Bad Historical Comment (Remove)
+
+```typescript
+
+// Old method getContactFromDB() removed - now handled by PlatformServiceMixin
+// No need to call the old method anymore
+
+```
+
+## 🎯 When to Use Each Pattern
+

+# Investigation Report Example
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer
+**Date**: 2025-08-19
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Investigation methodology example
+
+## Investigation — Registration Dialog Test Flakiness
+
+## Objective
+
+Identify root cause of flaky tests related to registration dialogs in contact
+import scenarios.
+
+## System Map
+
+- User action → ContactInputForm → ContactsView.addContact() →
+
+  handleRegistrationPrompt()
+
+- setTimeout(1000ms) → Modal dialog → User response → Registration API call
+
+- Test execution → Wait for dialog → Assert dialog content → Click response
+
+  button
+
+## Findings (Evidence)
+
+- **1-second timeout causes flakiness** — evidence:
+
+  `src/views/ContactsView.vue:971-1000`; setTimeout(..., 1000) in
+  handleRegistrationPrompt()
+
+- **Import flow bypasses dialogs** — evidence:
+
+  `src/views/ContactImportView.vue:500-520`; importContacts() calls
+  $insertContact() directly, no handleRegistrationPrompt()
+
+- **Dialog only appears in direct add flow** — evidence:
+
+  `src/views/ContactsView.vue:774-800`; addContact() calls
+  handleRegistrationPrompt() after database insert
+
+## Hypotheses & Failure Modes
+
+- H1: 1-second timeout makes dialog appearance unpredictable; would fail when
+
+  tests run faster than 1000ms
+
+- H2: Test environment timing differs from development; watch for CI vs local
+
+  test differences
+
+## Corrections
+
+- Updated: "Multiple dialogs interfere with imports" → "Import flow never
+
+  triggers dialogs - they only appear in direct contact addition"
+
+- Updated: "Complex batch registration needed" → "Simple timeout removal and
+
+  test mode flag sufficient"
+
+## Diagnostics (Next Checks)
+
+- [ ] Repro on CI environment vs local
+
+- [ ] Measure actual dialog appearance timing
+
+- [ ] Test with setTimeout removed
+
+- [ ] Verify import flow doesn't call handleRegistrationPrompt
+
+## Risks & Scope
+
+- Impacted: Contact addition tests, registration workflow tests; Data: None;
+
+  Users: Test suite reliability
+
+## Decision / Next Steps
+
+- Owner: Development Team; By: 2025-01-28
+
+- Action: Remove 1-second timeout + add test mode flag; Exit criteria: Tests
+
+  pass consistently
+
+## References
+
+- `src/views/ContactsView.vue:971-1000`
+
+- `src/views/ContactImportView.vue:500-520`
+
+- `src/views/ContactsView.vue:774-800`
+
+## Competence Hooks
+
+- Why this works: Code path tracing revealed separate execution flows,
+
+  evidence disproved initial assumptions
+
+- Common pitfalls: Assuming related functionality without tracing execution
+
+  paths, over-engineering solutions to imaginary problems
+
+- Next skill: Learn to trace code execution before proposing architectural
+
+  changes
+
+- Teach-back: "What evidence shows that contact imports bypass registration
+
+  dialogs?"
+
+## Key Learning Points
+
+### Evidence-First Approach
+
+This investigation demonstrates the importance of:
+
+1. **Tracing actual code execution** rather than making assumptions
+
+2. **Citing specific evidence** with file:line references
+
+3. **Validating problem scope** before proposing solutions
+
+4. **Considering simpler alternatives** before complex architectural changes
+
+### Code Path Tracing Value
+
+By tracing the execution paths, we discovered:
+
+- Import flow and direct add flow are completely separate
+
+- The "multiple dialog interference" problem didn't exist
+
+- A simple timeout removal would solve the actual issue
+
+### Prevention of Over-Engineering
+
+The investigation prevented:
+
+- Unnecessary database schema changes
+
+- Complex batch registration systems
+
+- Migration scripts for non-existent problems
+
+- Architectural changes based on assumptions
+

+
+**Status**: Active investigation methodology
+**Priority**: High
+**Estimated Effort**: Ongoing reference
+**Dependencies**: software_development.mdc
+**Stakeholders**: Development team, QA team

+# Logging Migration — Patterns and Examples
+
+> **Agent role**: Reference this file for specific migration patterns and
+  examples when converting console.* calls to logger usage.
+
+## Migration — Auto‑Rewrites (Apply Every Time)
+
+### Exact Transforms
+
+- `console.debug(...)` → `logger.debug(...)`
+
+- `console.log(...)` → `logger.log(...)` (or `logger.info(...)` when
+
+  clearly stateful)
+
+- `console.info(...)` → `logger.info(...)`
+
+- `console.warn(...)` → `logger.warn(...)`
+
+- `console.error(...)` → `logger.error(...)`
+
+### Multi-arg Handling
+
+- First arg becomes `message` (stringify safely if non-string).
+
+- Remaining args map 1:1 to `...args`:
+
+  `console.info(msg, a, b)` → `logger.info(String(msg), a, b)`
+
+### Sole `Error`
+
+- `console.error(err)` → `logger.error(err.message, err)`
+
+### Object-wrapping Cleanup
+
+Replace `{{ userId, meta }}` wrappers with separate args:
+`logger.info('User signed in', userId, meta)`
+
+## Level Guidelines with Examples
+
+### DEBUG Examples
+
+```typescript
+
+logger.debug('[HomeView] reloadFeedOnChange() called');
+logger.debug('[HomeView] Current filter settings',
+  settings.filterFeedByVisible,
+  settings.filterFeedByNearby,
+  settings.searchBoxes?.length ?? 0);
+logger.debug('[FeedFilters] Toggling nearby filter',
+  this.isNearby, this.settingChanged, this.activeDid);
+
+```
+
+**Avoid**: Vague messages (`'Processing data'`).
+
+### INFO Examples
+
+```typescript
+
+logger.info('[StartView] Component mounted', process.env.VITE_PLATFORM);
+logger.info('[StartView] User selected new seed generation');
+logger.info('[SearchAreaView] Search box stored',
+  searchBox.name, searchBox.bbox);
+logger.info('[ContactQRScanShowView] Contact registration OK',
+  contact.did);
+
+```
+
+**Avoid**: Diagnostic details that belong in `debug`.
+
+### WARN Examples
+
+```typescript
+
+logger.warn('[ContactQRScanShowView] Invalid scan result – no value',
+  resultType);
+logger.warn('[ContactQRScanShowView] Invalid QR format – no JWT in URL');
+logger.warn('[ContactQRScanShowView] JWT missing "own" field');
+
+```
+
+**Avoid**: Hard failures (those are `error`).
+
+### ERROR Examples
+
+```typescript
+
+logger.error('[HomeView Settings] initializeIdentity() failed', err);
+logger.error('[StartView] Failed to load initialization data', error);
+logger.error('[ContactQRScanShowView] Error processing contact QR',
+  error, rawValue);
+
+```
+
+**Avoid**: Expected user cancels (use `info`/`debug`).
+
+## Context Hygiene Examples
+
+### Component Context
+
+```typescript
+
+const log = logger.withContext('UserService');
+log.info('User created', userId);
+log.error('Failed to create user', error);
+
+```
+
+If not using `withContext`, prefix message with `[ComponentName]`.

+# Agent Contract — TimeSafari Logging (Unified, MANDATORY)
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer
+**Date**: 2025-08-19
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Mandatory logging standards
+
+## Overview
+
+This document defines unified logging standards for the TimeSafari project,
+ensuring consistent, rest-parameter logging style using the project logger.
+No `console.*` methods are allowed in production code.
+
+## Scope and Goals
+
+**Scope**: Applies to all diffs and generated code in this workspace unless
+explicitly exempted below.
+
+**Goal**: One consistent, rest-parameter logging style using the project
+logger; no `console.*` in production code.
+
+## Non‑Negotiables (DO THIS)
+
+- You **MUST** use the project logger; **DO NOT** use any `console.*`
+
+  methods.
+
+- Import exactly as:
+
+  - `import { logger } from '@/utils/logger'`
+
+  - If `@` alias is unavailable, compute the correct relative path (do not
+
+    fail).
+
+- Call signatures use **rest parameters**: `logger.info(message, ...args)`
+
+- Prefer primitives/IDs and small objects in `...args`; **never build a
+
+  throwaway object** just to "wrap context".
+
+- Production defaults: Web = `warn+`, Electron = `error`, Dev/Capacitor =
+
+  `info+` (override via `VITE_LOG_LEVEL`).
+
+- **Database persistence**: `info|warn|error` are persisted; `debug` is not.
+
+  Use `logger.toDb(msg, level?)` for DB-only.
+
+## Available Logger API (Authoritative)
+
+- `logger.debug(message, ...args)` — verbose internals, timings, input/output
+
+  shapes
+
+- `logger.log(message, ...args)` — synonym of `info` for general info
+
+- `logger.info(message, ...args)` — lifecycle, state changes, success paths
+
+- `logger.warn(message, ...args)` — recoverable issues, retries, degraded mode
+
+- `logger.error(message, ...args)` — failures, thrown exceptions, aborts
+
+- `logger.toDb(message, level?)` — DB-only entry (default level = `info`)
+
+- `logger.toConsoleAndDb(message, isError)` — console + DB (use sparingly)
+
+- `logger.withContext(componentName)` — returns a scoped logger
+
+## Level Guidelines (Use These Heuristics)
+
+### DEBUG
+
+Use for method entry/exit, computed values, filters, loops, retries, and
+external call payload sizes.
+
+### INFO
+
+Use for user-visible lifecycle and completed operations.
+
+### WARN
+
+Use for recoverable issues, fallbacks, unexpected-but-handled conditions.
+
+### ERROR
+
+Use for unrecoverable failures, data integrity issues, and thrown
+exceptions.
+
+## Context Hygiene (Consistent, Minimal, Helpful)
+
+- **Component context**: Prefer scoped logger.
+
+- **Emojis**: Optional and minimal for visual scanning.
+
+- **Sensitive data**: Never log secrets (tokens, keys, passwords) or
+  payloads >10KB. Prefer IDs over objects; redact/hash when needed.
+
+## DB Logging Rules
+
+- `debug` **never** persists automatically.
+
+- `info|warn|error` persist automatically.
+
+- For DB-only events (no console), call `logger.toDb('Message',
+  'info'|'warn'|'error')`.
+
+## Exceptions (Tightly Scoped)
+
+Allowed paths (still prefer logger):
+
+- `**/*.test.*`, `**/*.spec.*`
+
+- `scripts/dev/**`, `scripts/migrate/**`
+
+To intentionally keep `console.*`, add a pragma on the previous line:
+
+```typescript
+
+// cursor:allow-console reason="short justification"
+console.log('temporary output');
+
+```
+
+## CI & Diff Enforcement
+
+- Do not introduce `console.*` anywhere outside allowed, pragma'd spots.
+
+- If an import is missing, insert it and resolve alias/relative path
+  correctly.
+
+- Enforce rest-parameter call shape in reviews; replace object-wrapped
+  context.
+
+- Ensure environment log level rules remain intact (`VITE_LOG_LEVEL`
+  respected).
+
+---
+
+**See also**:
+  `.cursor/rules/development/logging_migration.mdc` for migration patterns and examples.
+
+**Status**: Active and enforced
+**Priority**: Critical
+**Estimated Effort**: Ongoing reference
+**Dependencies**: TimeSafari logger utility
+**Stakeholders**: Development team, Code review team
+
+## Model Implementation Checklist
+
+### Before Adding Logging
+
+- [ ] **Logger Import**: Import logger as `import { logger } from
+  '@/utils/logger'`
+- [ ] **Log Level Selection**: Determine appropriate log level
+  (debug/info/warn/error)
+- [ ] **Context Planning**: Plan what context information to include
+- [ ] **Sensitive Data Review**: Identify any sensitive data that needs redaction
+
+### During Logging Implementation
+
+- [ ] **Rest Parameters**: Use `logger.info(message, ...args)` format, not object
+  wrapping
+- [ ] **Context Addition**: Include relevant IDs, primitives, or small objects in
+  args
+- [ ] **Level Appropriateness**: Use correct log level for the situation
+- [ ] **Scoped Logger**: Use `logger.withContext(componentName)` for
+  component-specific logging
+
+### After Logging Implementation
+
+- [ ] **Console Check**: Ensure no `console.*` methods are used (unless in
+  allowed paths)
+- [ ] **Performance Review**: Verify logging doesn't impact performance
+- [ ] **DB Persistence**: Use `logger.toDb()` for database-only logging if needed
+- [ ] **Environment Compliance**: Respect `VITE_LOG_LEVEL` environment
+  variable

+
+```
+
+Phase 1: Core implementation
+
+- Basic functionality
+
+- Single platform support
+
+- Unit tests
+
+Phase 2: Platform expansion
+
+- Multi-platform support
+
+- Integration tests
+
+Phase 3: Polish
+
+- User testing
+
+- Edge case handling
+
+```
+
+### **Example 2: Complex Cross-Platform Feature**
+
+```
+
+Phase 1: Foundation

+
+- User experience refinement
+
+```
+
+## 🚫 Anti-Patterns to Avoid
+
+- **"This should take X days"** - Red flag for time estimation
+
+- **"Just a few hours"** - Ignores complexity and testing
+
+- **"Similar to X"** - Without considering differences
+
+- **"Quick fix"** - Nothing is ever quick in software
+
+- **"No testing needed"** - Testing always takes effort
+
+## ✅ Best Practices
+
+### **When Planning:**
+
+1. **Break down everything** - no work is too small to plan
+
+2. **Consider all platforms** - web, mobile, desktop differences
+
+3. **Include testing strategy** - unit, integration, and user testing
+
+4. **Account for unknowns** - there are always surprises
+
+5. **Focus on dependencies** - what blocks what
+
+### **When Presenting Plans:**
+
+1. **Show the phases** - explain the logical progression
+
+2. **Highlight dependencies** - what could block progress
+
+3. **Define milestones** - clear success criteria
+
+4. **Identify risks** - what could go wrong
+
+5. **Suggest alternatives** - ways to reduce scope or complexity
+
+## 🔄 Continuous Improvement
+
+### **Track Progress**
+
+- Record planned vs. actual phases completed
+
+- Identify what took longer than expected
+
+- Learn from complexity misjudgments
+
+- Adjust planning process based on experience
+
+### **Learn from Experience**
+
+- **Underestimated complexity**: Increase complexity categories
+
+- **Missed dependencies**: Improve dependency mapping
+
+- **Platform surprises**: Better platform research upfront
+
+## 🎯 Integration with Harbor Pilot
+
+This rule works in conjunction with:
+
+- **Project Planning**: Focuses on phases and milestones
+
+- **Resource Allocation**: Based on complexity, not time
+
+- **Risk Management**: Identifies blockers and dependencies
+
+- **Stakeholder Communication**: Sets progress-based expectations
+
+---
+
+**See also**: `.cursor/rules/development/realistic_time_estimation.mdc` for

+# Realistic Time Estimation — Development Guidelines
+
+> **Agent role**: **DO NOT MAKE TIME ESTIMATES**. Instead, use phases,
+> milestones, and complexity levels. Time estimates are consistently wrong
+> and create unrealistic expectations.
+
+## Purpose
+
+Development time estimates are consistently wrong and create unrealistic
+expectations. This rule ensures we focus on phases, milestones, and
+complexity rather than trying to predict specific timeframes.
+
+## Critical Rule
+
+**NEVER provide specific time estimates** (hours, days, weeks) for
+development tasks. Instead, use:
+
+- **Complexity levels** (Low, Medium, High, Critical)
+
+- **Phases and milestones** with clear acceptance criteria
+
+- **Platform-specific considerations** (Web, Mobile, Desktop)
+
+- **Testing requirements** and validation steps
+
+## Planning Framework
+
+### Complexity Assessment
+
+- **Low**: Simple changes, existing patterns, minimal testing
+
+- **Medium**: New features, moderate testing, some integration
+
+- **High**: Complex features, extensive testing, multiple platforms
+
+- **Critical**: Core architecture changes, full regression testing
+

+# Research & Diagnostic Workflow (R&D)
+
+## Purpose
+
+Provide a **repeatable, evidence-first** workflow to investigate features and
+defects **before coding**. Outputs are concise reports, hypotheses, and next
+steps—**not** code changes.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Pre-implementation research for new features
+
+- Defect investigations (repros uncertain, user-specific failures)
+
+- Architecture/behavior clarifications (e.g., auth flows, merges, migrations)
+
+---
+
+## Enhanced with Software Development Ruleset
+
+When investigating software issues, also apply:
+
+- **Code Path Tracing**: Required for technical investigations
+
+- **Evidence Validation**: Ensure claims are code-backed
+
+- **Solution Complexity Assessment**: Justify architectural changes
+
+---
+
+## Output Contract (strict)
+
+1) **Objective** — 1–2 lines
+2) **System Map (if helpful)** — short diagram or bullet flow (≤8 bullets)
+3) **Findings (Evidence-linked)** — bullets; each with file/function refs
+4) **Hypotheses & Failure Modes** — short list, each testable
+5) **Corrections** — explicit deltas from earlier assumptions (if any)
+6) **Diagnostics** — what to check next (logs, DB, env, repro steps)
+7) **Risks & Scope** — what could break; affected components
+8) **Decision/Next Steps** — what we'll do, who's involved, by when
+9) **References** — code paths, ADRs, docs
+10) **Competence & Collaboration Hooks** — brief, skimmable
+
+> Keep total length lean. Prefer links and bullets over prose.

+  Identify where the flow begins (user action, API call, etc.)
+
+- [ ] **Component Flow**: Map which components/methods are involved
+
+- [ ] **Data Path**: Track how data moves through the system
+
+- [ ] **Exit Points**: Confirm where the flow ends and what results
+
+- [ ] **Evidence Collection**: Gather specific code citations for each step
+
+---
+
+## Collaboration Hooks
+
+- **Syncs:** 10–15m with QA/Security/Platform owners for high-risk areas.
+
+- **ADR:** Record major decisions; link here.
+
+- **Review:** Share repro + diagnostics checklist in PR/issue.
+
+---
+
+## Integration with Other Rulesets

+# Software Development Ruleset
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer
+**Date**: 2025-08-19
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Core development guidelines
+
+## Purpose
+
+Specialized guidelines for software development tasks including code review,
+debugging, architecture decisions, and testing.
+
+## Core Principles
+
+### 1. Evidence-First Development
+
+- **Code Citations Required**: Always cite specific file:line references when
+
+  making claims
+
+- **Execution Path Tracing**: Trace actual code execution before proposing
+
+  architectural changes
+
+- **Assumption Validation**: Flag assumptions as "assumed" vs "evidence-based"
+
+### 2. Code Review Standards
+
+- **Trace Before Proposing**: Always trace execution paths before suggesting
+
+  changes
+
+- **Evidence Over Inference**: Prefer code citations over logical deductions
+
+- **Scope Validation**: Confirm the actual scope of problems before proposing
+
+  solutions
+
+### 3. Problem-Solution Validation
+
+- **Problem Scope**: Does the solution address the actual problem?
+
+- **Evidence Alignment**: Does the solution match the evidence?
+
+- **Complexity Justification**: Is added complexity justified by real needs?
+
+- **Alternative Analysis**: What simpler solutions were considered?
+
+### 4. Dependency Management & Environment Validation
+
+- **Pre-build Validation**:
+
+  Always validate critical dependencies before executing
+  build scripts
+
+- **Environment Consistency**: Ensure team members have identical development
+
+  environments
+
+- **Dependency Verification**: Check that required packages are installed and
+
+  accessible
+
+- **Path Resolution**: Use `npx` for local dependencies to avoid PATH issues
+
+## Required Workflows
+
+### Before Proposing Changes
+
+- [ ] **Code Path Tracing**: Map execution flow from entry to exit
+
+- [ ] **Evidence Collection**: Gather specific code citations and logs
+
+- [ ] **Assumption Surfacing**: Identify what's proven vs. inferred
+
+- [ ] **Scope Validation**: Confirm the actual extent of the problem
+
+- [ ] **Dependency Validation**: Verify all required dependencies are available
+
+  and accessible
+
+### During Solution Design
+
+- [ ] **Evidence Alignment**: Ensure solution addresses proven problems
+
+- [ ] **Complexity Assessment**: Justify any added complexity
+
+- [ ] **Alternative Evaluation**: Consider simpler approaches first
+
+- [ ] **Impact Analysis**: Assess effects on existing systems
+
+- [ ] **Environment Impact**: Assess how changes affect team member setups
+
+## Software-Specific Competence Hooks
+
+### Evidence Validation
+
+- **"What code path proves this claim?"**
+
+- **"How does data actually flow through the system?"**
+
+- **"What am I assuming vs. what can I prove?"**
+
+### Code Tracing
+
+- **"What's the execution path from user action to system response?"**
+
+- **"Which components actually interact in this scenario?"**
+
+- **"Where does the data originate and where does it end up?"**
+
+### Architecture Decisions
+
+- **"What evidence shows this change is necessary?"**
+
+- **"What simpler solution could achieve the same goal?"**
+
+- **"How does this change affect the existing system architecture?"**
+
+### Dependency & Environment Management
+
+- **"What dependencies does this feature require and are they properly
+
+  declared?"**
+
+- **"How will this change affect team member development environments?"**
+
+- **"What validation can we add to catch dependency issues early?"**
+
+## Integration with Other Rulesets
+
+### With base_context.mdc
+
+- Inherits generic competence principles

+
+- Bug investigation and debugging
+
+- Performance optimization
+
+- Feature implementation planning
+
+- Testing strategy development
+
+### When to Combine with Others
+
+- **base_context + software_development**: General development tasks
+
+- **research_diagnostic + software_development**: Technical investigations
+
+- **All three**: Complex architectural decisions or major refactoring
+
+## Self-Check (model, before responding)
+
+- [ ] Code path traced and documented
+
+- [ ] Evidence cited with specific file:line references
+
+- [ ] Assumptions clearly flagged as proven vs. inferred

+# Time Handling in Development Workflow
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer
+**Date**: 2025-08-17
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Production Ready
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide establishes **how time should be referenced and used** across the
+development workflow. It is not tied to any one project, but applies to **all
+feature development, issue investigations, ADRs, and documentation**.
+
+## General Principles
+
+- **Explicit over relative**: Always prefer absolute dates (`2025-08-17`) over
+
+  relative references like "last week."
+
+- **ISO 8601 Standard**: Use `YYYY-MM-DD` format for all date references in
+
+  docs, issues, ADRs, and commits.
+
+- **Time zones**: Default to **UTC** unless explicitly tied to user-facing
+
+  behavior.
+
+- **Precision**: Only specify as much precision as needed (date vs. datetime vs.
+
+  timestamp).
+
+- **Consistency**: Align time references across ADRs, commits, and investigation
+
+  reports.
+
+## In Documentation & ADRs
+
+- Record decision dates using **absolute ISO dates**.
+
+- For ongoing timelines, state start and end explicitly (e.g., `2025-08-01` →
+
+  `2025-08-17`).
+
+- Avoid ambiguous terms like _recently_, _last month_, or _soon_.
+
+- For time-based experiments (e.g., A/B tests), always include:
+
+  - Start date
+
+  - Expected duration
+
+  - Review date checkpoint
+
+## In Code & Commits
+
+- Use **UTC timestamps** in logs, DB migrations, and serialized formats.
+
+- In commits, link changes to **date-bound ADRs or investigation docs**.
+
+- For migrations, include both **applied date** and **intended version window**.
+
+- Use constants for known fixed dates; avoid hardcoding arbitrary strings.
+
+## In Investigations & Research
+
+- Capture **when** an issue occurred (absolute time or version tag).
+
+- When describing failures: note whether they are **time-sensitive** (e.g.,
+
+  after
+  migrations, cache expirations).
+
+- Record diagnostic timelines in ISO format (not relative).
+
+- For performance regressions, annotate both **baseline timeframe** and
+
+  **measurement timeframe**.
+
+## Collaboration Hooks
+
+- During reviews, verify **time references are clear, absolute, and
+
+  standardized**.
+
+- In syncs, reframe relative terms ("this week") into shared absolute
+
+  references.
+
+- Tag ADRs with both **date created** and **review by** checkpoints.
+
+## Self-Check Before Submitting
+
+- [ ] Did I check the time using the **developer's actual system time and
+
+      timezone**?
+
+- [ ] Am I using absolute ISO dates?
+
+- [ ] Is UTC assumed unless specified otherwise?
+
+- [ ] Did I avoid ambiguous relative terms?
+
+- [ ] If duration matters, did I specify both start and end?
+
+- [ ] For future work, did I include a review/revisit date?

+## Model Implementation Checklist
+
+### Before Time-Related Work
+
+- [ ] **Time Context**: Understand what time information is needed
+- [ ] **Format Review**: Review time formatting standards (UTC, ISO 8601)
+- [ ] **Platform Check**: Identify platform-specific time requirements
+- [ ] **User Context**: Consider user's timezone and preferences
+
+### During Time Implementation
+
+- [ ] **UTC Usage**: Use UTC for all system and log timestamps
+- [ ] **Format Consistency**: Apply consistent time formatting patterns
+- [ ] **Timezone Handling**: Properly handle timezone conversions
+- [ ] **User Display**: Format times appropriately for user display
+
+### After Time Implementation

+# Time Examples — Practical Patterns
+
+> **Agent role**: Reference this file for practical examples and
+  patterns when working with time handling in development.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Good
+
+- "Feature flag rollout started on `2025-08-01` and will be reviewed on
+
+  `2025-08-21`."
+
+- "Migration applied on `2025-07-15T14:00Z`."
+
+- "Issue reproduced on `2025-08-17T09:00-05:00 (local)` /
+
+  `2025-08-17T14:00Z (UTC)`."
+
+### Bad
+
+- "Feature flag rolled out last week."
+
+- "Migration applied recently."
+
+- "Now is August, so we assume this was last month."
+
+### More Examples
+
+#### Issue Reports
+
+- ✅ **Good**: "User reported login failure at `2025-08-17T14:30:00Z`. Issue
+
+  persisted until `2025-08-17T15:45:00Z`."
+
+- ❌ **Bad**: "User reported login failure earlier today. Issue lasted for a
+
+  while."
+
+#### Release Planning
+
+- ✅ **Good**: "Feature X scheduled for release on `2025-08-25`. Testing
+
+  window: `2025-08-20` to `2025-08-24`."
+
+- ❌ **Bad**: "Feature X will be released next week after testing."
+
+#### Performance Monitoring
+
+- ✅ **Good**: "Baseline performance measured on `2025-08-10T09:00:00Z`.
+
+  Regression detected on `2025-08-15T14:00:00Z`."
+
+- ❌ **Bad**: "Performance was good last week but got worse this week."
+
+## Technical Implementation Examples
+
+### Database Storage
+
+```sql
+
+-- ✅ Good: Store in UTC
+created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
+
+-- ❌ Bad: Store in local time
+created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
+
+```
+
+### API Responses
+
+```json
+
+// ✅ Good: Include both UTC and local time
+{
+  "eventTime": "2025-08-17T14:00:00Z",
+  "localTime": "2025-08-17T10:00:00-04:00",
+  "timezone": "America/New_York"
+}
+
+// ❌ Bad: Only local time
+{
+  "eventTime": "2025-08-17T10:00:00-04:00"
+}
+
+```
+
+### Logging
+
+```python
+
+# ✅ Good: Log in UTC with timezone info
+
+logger.info(f"User action at {datetime.utcnow().isoformat()}Z (UTC)")
+
+# ❌ Bad: Log in local time
+
+logger.info(f"User action at {datetime.now()}")
+
+```
+
+## Timezone Handling Examples
+
+### Good Timezone Usage
+
+```typescript
+
+// ✅ Good: Store UTC, convert for display
+const eventTime = new Date().toISOString(); // Store in UTC
+const localTime = new Date().toLocaleString('en-US', {
+  timeZone: 'America/New_York'
+}); // Convert for display
+
+// ✅ Good: Include timezone context
+const timestamp = {
+  utc: "2025-08-17T14:00:00Z",
+  local: "2025-08-17T10:00:00-04:00",
+  timezone: "America/New_York"
+};
+
+```
+
+### Bad Timezone Usage
+
+```typescript
+
+// ❌ Bad: Assume timezone
+const now = new Date(); // Assumes system timezone
+
+// ❌ Bad: Mix formats
+const timestamp = "2025-08-17 10:00 AM"; // Ambiguous format
+
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Date Range References
+
+```typescript
+
+// ✅ Good: Explicit date ranges
+const dateRange = {
+  start: "2025-08-01T00:00:00Z",
+  end: "2025-08-31T23:59:59Z"
+};
+
+// ❌ Bad: Relative ranges
+const dateRange = {
+  start: "beginning of month",
+  end: "end of month"
+};
+
+```
+
+### Duration References
+
+```typescript
+
+// ✅ Good: Specific durations
+const duration = {
+  value: 30,
+  unit: "days",
+  startDate: "2025-08-01T00:00:00Z"
+};
+
+// ❌ Bad: Vague durations
+const duration = "about a month";
+
+```
+
+### Version References
+
+```typescript
+
+// ✅ Good: Version with date
+const version = {
+  number: "1.2.3",
+  releaseDate: "2025-08-17T10:00:00Z",
+  buildDate: "2025-08-17T09:30:00Z"
+};
+
+// ❌ Bad: Version without context
+const version = "latest";
+
+```

+# Time Implementation — Technical Instructions
+
+> **Agent role**: Reference this file for detailed implementation instructions
+  when working with time handling in development.
+
+## Real-Time Context in Developer Interactions
+
+- The model must always resolve **"current time"** using the **developer's
+
+  actual system time and timezone**.
+
+- When generating timestamps (e.g., in investigation logs, ADRs, or examples),
+
+  the model should:
+
+  - Use the **developer's current local time** by default.
+
+  - Indicate the timezone explicitly (e.g., `2025-08-17T10:32-05:00`).
+
+  - Optionally provide UTC alongside if context requires cross-team clarity.
+
+- When interpreting relative terms like _now_, _today_, _last week_:
+
+  - Resolve them against the **developer's current time**.
+
+  - Convert them into **absolute ISO-8601 values** in the output.
+
+## LLM Time Checking Instructions
+
+**CRITICAL**: The LLM must actively query the system for current time rather
+than assuming or inventing times.
+
+### How to Check Current Time
+
+#### 1. **Query System Time (Required)**
+
+- **Always start** by querying the current system time using available tools
+
+- **Never assume** what the current time is
+
+- **Never use** placeholder values like "current time" or "now"
+
+#### 2. **Available Time Query Methods**
+
+- **System Clock**: Use `date` command or equivalent system time function
+
+- **Programming Language**: Use language-specific time functions (e.g.,
+
+  `Date.now()`, `datetime.now()`)
+
+- **Environment Variables**: Check for time-related environment variables
+
+- **API Calls**: Use time service APIs if available
+
+#### 3. **Required Time Information**
+
+When querying time, always obtain:
+
+- **Current Date**: YYYY-MM-DD format
+
+- **Current Time**: HH:MM:SS format (24-hour)
+
+- **Timezone**: Current system timezone or UTC offset
+
+- **UTC Equivalent**: Convert local time to UTC for cross-team clarity
+
+#### 4. **Time Query Examples**
+
+```bash
+
+# Example: Query system time
+
+$ date
+
+# Expected output: Mon Aug 17 10:32:45 EDT 2025
+
+# Example: Query UTC time
+
+$ date -u
+
+# Expected output: Mon Aug 17 14:32:45 UTC 2025
+
+```
+
+```python
+
+# Example: Python time query
+
+import datetime
+current_time = datetime.datetime.now()
+utc_time = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
+print(f"Local: {current_time}")
+print(f"UTC: {utc_time}")
+
+```
+
+```javascript
+
+// Example: JavaScript time query
+const now = new Date();
+const utc = new Date().toISOString();
+console.log(`Local: ${now}`);
+console.log(`UTC: ${utc}`);
+
+```
+
+#### 5. **LLM Time Checking Workflow**
+
+1. **Query**: Actively query system for current time
+
+2. **Validate**: Confirm time data is reasonable and current
+
+3. **Format**: Convert to ISO 8601 format
+
+4. **Context**: Provide both local and UTC times when helpful
+
+5. **Document**: Show the source of time information
+
+#### 6. **Error Handling for Time Queries**
+
+- **If time query fails**: Ask user for current time or use "unknown time"
+
+  with explanation
+
+- **If timezone unclear**: Default to UTC and ask for clarification
+
+- **If time seems wrong**: Verify with user before proceeding
+
+- **Always log**: Record when and how time was obtained
+
+#### 7. **Time Query Verification**
+
+Before using queried time, verify:
+
+- [ ] Time is recent (within last few minutes)
+
+- [ ] Timezone information is available
+
+- [ ] UTC conversion is accurate
+
+- [ ] Format follows ISO 8601 standard
+
+## Model Behavior Rules
+
+- **Never invent a "fake now"**: All "current time" references must come from
+
+  the real system clock available at runtime.
+
+- **Check developer time zone**: If ambiguous, ask for clarification (e.g.,
+
+  "Should I use UTC or your local timezone?").
+
+- **Format for clarity**:
+
+  - Local time: `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm±hh:mm`
+
+  - UTC equivalent (if needed): `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mmZ`
+
+## Technical Implementation Notes
+
+### UTC Storage Principle
+
+- **Store all timestamps in UTC** in databases, logs, and serialized formats
+
+- **Convert to local time only for user display**
+
+- **Use ISO 8601 format** for all storage: `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ`
+
+### Common Implementation Patterns
+
+#### Database Storage
+
+```sql
+
+-- ✅ Good: Store in UTC
+created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
+
+```
+
+#### API Responses
+
+```json
+
+// ✅ Good: Include both UTC and local time
+{
+  "eventTime": "2025-08-17T14:00:00Z",
+  "localTime": "2025-08-17T10:00:00-04:00",
+  "timezone": "America/New_York"
+}
+
+```
+
+#### Logging
+
+```python
+
+# ✅ Good: Log in UTC with timezone info
+
+logger.info(f"User action at {datetime.utcnow().isoformat()}Z (UTC)")
+
+```
+
+### Timezone Handling Best Practices
+
+#### 1. Always Store Timezone Information
+
+- Include IANA timezone identifier (e.g., `America/New_York`)
+
+- Store UTC offset at time of creation
+
+- Handle daylight saving time transitions automatically
+
+#### 2. User Display Considerations
+
+- Convert UTC to user's preferred timezone
+
+- Show timezone abbreviation when helpful
+
+- Use relative time for recent events ("2 hours ago")
+
+#### 3. Edge Case Handling
+
+- **Daylight Saving Time**: Use timezone-aware libraries
+
+- **Leap Seconds**: Handle gracefully (rare but important)
+
+- **Invalid Times**: Validate before processing
+
+### Common Mistakes to Avoid
+
+#### 1. Timezone Confusion
+
+- ❌ **Don't**: Assume server timezone is user timezone
+
+- ✅ **Do**: Always convert UTC to user's local time for display
+
+#### 2. Format Inconsistency
+
+- ❌ **Don't**: Mix different time formats in the same system
+
+- ✅ **Do**: Standardize on ISO 8601 for all storage
+
+#### 3. Relative Time References
+
+- ❌ **Don't**: Use relative terms in persistent storage
+
+- ✅ **Do**: Convert relative terms to absolute timestamps immediately

+# TypeScript Type Safety Guidelines
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer
+**Date**: 2025-08-19
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Type safety enforcement
+
+## Overview
+
+Practical rules to keep TypeScript strict and predictable. Minimize exceptions.
+
+## Core Rules
+
+1. **No `any`**
+
+   - Use explicit types. If unknown, use `unknown` and **narrow** via guards.
+
+2. **Error handling uses guards**
+
+   - Reuse guards from `src/interfaces/**` (e.g., `isDatabaseError`,
+
+     `isApiError`).
+
+   - Catch with `unknown`; never cast to `any`.
+
+3. **Dynamic property access is type‑safe**
+
+   - Use `keyof` + `in` checks:
+
+     ```ts
+
+     obj[k as keyof typeof obj]
+
+     ```
+
+   - Avoid `(obj as any)[k]`.
+
+## Type Safety Enforcement
+
+### Core Type Safety Rules
+
+- **No `any` Types**: Use explicit types or `unknown` with proper type guards
+
+- **Error Handling Uses Guards**:
+
+  Implement and reuse type guards from `src/interfaces/**`
+
+- **Dynamic Property Access**:
+
+  Use `keyof` + `in` checks for type-safe property access
+
+### Type Guard Patterns
+
+- **API Errors**: Use `isApiError(error)` guards for API error handling
+
+- **Database Errors**:
+
+  Use `isDatabaseError(error)` guards for database operations
+
+- **Axios Errors**:
+
+  Implement `isAxiosError(error)` guards for HTTP error handling
+
+### Implementation Guidelines
+
+- **Avoid Type Assertions**:
+
+  Replace `as any` with proper type guards and interfaces
+
+- **Narrow Types Properly**: Use type guards to narrow `unknown` types safely
+
+- **Document Type Decisions**: Explain complex type structures and their purpose
+
+## Minimal Special Cases (document in PR when used)
+
+- **Vue refs / instances**: Use `ComponentPublicInstance` or specific
+
+  component types for dynamic refs.
+
+- **3rd‑party libs without types**: Narrow immediately to a **known
+
+  interface**; do not leave `any` hanging.
+
+## Patterns (short)
+
+### Database errors
+
+```ts
+
+try { await this.$addContact(contact); }
+catch (e: unknown) {
+  if (isDatabaseError(e) && e.message.includes("Key already exists")) {
+    /* handle duplicate */
+  }
+}
+
+```
+
+### API errors
+
+```ts
+
+try { await apiCall(); }
+catch (e: unknown) {
+  if (isApiError(e)) {
+    const msg = e.response?.data?.error?.message;
+  }
+}
+
+```
+
+### Dynamic keys
+
+```ts
+
+const keys = Object.keys(newSettings).filter(
+k => k in newSettings && newSettings[k as keyof typeof newSettings] !==
+  undefined
+);
+
+```
+
+## Checklists
+
+**Before commit**
+
+- [ ] No `any` (except documented, justified cases)
+
+- [ ] Errors handled via guards
+
+- [ ] Dynamic access uses `keyof`/`in`
+
+- [ ] Imports point to correct interfaces/types
+
+**Code review**
+
+- [ ] Hunt hidden `as any`
+
+- [ ] Guard‑based error paths verified
+
+- [ ] Dynamic ops are type‑safe
+
+- [ ] Prefer existing types over re‑inventing
+
+## Tools
+
+- `npm run lint-fix` — lint & auto‑fix
+
+- `npm run type-check` — strict type compilation (CI + pre‑release)
+
+- IDE: enable strict TS, ESLint/TS ESLint, Volar (Vue 3)

+
+# 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
+flowchart TD
+    A[Contributor] -->|Writes Code & Draft Docs| B[Model Agent]
+    B -->|Evaluates References| C{Relevant?}
+    C -->|Yes| D[Suggest Placement & Context Links]

+    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.

+# Markdown Core Standards & Automation
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer
+**Date**: 2025-08-21
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Core markdown standards and automation
+
+## Overview
+
+This file combines core markdown formatting standards with automation
+guidelines. AI agents must follow these rules DURING content generation,
+not apply them after the fact.
+
+**Primary Focus**: Create educational content that increases human
+competence, not just technical descriptions.
+
+## AI Generation Guidelines
+
+### **MANDATORY**: Follow These Rules While Writing
+
+When generating markdown content, you MUST:
+
+1. **Line Length**: Never exceed 80 characters per line
+2. **Blank Lines**: Always add blank lines around headings, lists, and
+   code blocks
+3. **Structure**: Use proper heading hierarchy and document templates
+4. **Formatting**: Apply consistent formatting patterns immediately
+5. **Educational Value**: Focus on increasing reader competence and
+   understanding
+
+### **DO NOT**: Generate content that violates these rules
+
+- ❌ Generate long lines that need breaking
+- ❌ Create content without proper blank line spacing
+- ❌ Use inconsistent formatting patterns
+- ❌ Assume post-processing will fix violations
+- ❌ Focus only on technical details without educational context
+- ❌ Assume reader has extensive prior knowledge
+
+### **DO**: Generate compliant content from the start
+
+- ✅ Write within 80-character limits
+- ✅ Add blank lines around all structural elements
+- ✅ Use established templates and patterns
+- ✅ Apply formatting standards immediately
+- ✅ Explain concepts before implementation details
+- ✅ Provide context and motivation for technical choices
+- ✅ Include examples that illustrate key concepts
+
+## Core Formatting Standards
+
+### Line Length
+
+- **Maximum line length**: 80 characters
+- **Exception**: Code blocks (JSON, shell, TypeScript, etc.) - no line
+  length enforcement
+- **Rationale**: Ensures readability across different screen sizes and
+  terminal widths
+
+### Blank Lines
+
+- **Headings**: Must be surrounded by blank lines above and below
+- **Lists**: Must be surrounded by blank lines above and below
+- **Code blocks**: Must be surrounded by blank lines above and below
+- **Maximum consecutive blank lines**: 1 (no multiple blank lines)
+- **File start**: No blank lines at the beginning of the file
+- **File end**: Single newline character at the end
+
+### Whitespace
+
+- **No trailing spaces**: Remove all trailing whitespace from lines
+- **No tabs**: Use spaces for indentation
+- **Consistent indentation**: 2 spaces for list items and nested content
+
+## Heading Standards
+
+### Format
+
+- **Style**: ATX-style headings (`#`, `##`, `###`, etc.)
+- **Case**: Title case for general headings
+- **Code references**: Use backticks for file names and technical terms
+  - ✅ `### Current package.json Scripts`
+  - ❌ `### Current Package.json Scripts`
+
+### Hierarchy
+
+- **H1 (#)**: Document title only
+- **H2 (##)**: Major sections
+- **H3 (###)**: Subsections
+- **H4 (####)**: Sub-subsections
+- **H5+**: Avoid deeper nesting
+
+## List Standards
+
+### Unordered Lists
+
+- **Marker**: Use `-` (hyphen) consistently
+- **Indentation**: 2 spaces for nested items
+- **Blank lines**: Surround lists with blank lines
+
+### Ordered Lists
+
+- **Format**: `1.`, `2.`, `3.` (sequential numbering)
+- **Indentation**: 2 spaces for nested items
+- **Blank lines**: Surround lists with blank lines
+
+### Task Lists
+
+- **Format**: `- [ ]` for incomplete, `- [x]` for complete
+- **Indentation**: 2 spaces for nested items
+- **Blank lines**: Surround lists with blank lines
+
+## Educational Content Standards
+
+### **Content Structure for Learning**
+
+- **Concept First**: Explain what something is before how to use it
+- **Context Matters**: Explain why and when to use a feature
+- **Progressive Disclosure**: Start simple, add complexity gradually
+- **Real Examples**: Use concrete, relatable scenarios
+- **Common Questions**: Anticipate and answer reader questions
+
+### **Writing for Understanding**
+
+- **Conversational Tone**: Write as if explaining to a colleague
+- **Active Voice**: "You can do this" not "This can be done"
+- **Question Format**: "What happens when..." to engage thinking
+- **Analogies**: Use familiar concepts to explain complex ideas
+- **Limitations**: Clearly state what solutions don't do
+
+## Code Block Standards
+
+### Inline Code
+
+- **Format**: Single backticks for inline code
+- **Use cases**: File names, commands, variables, technical terms
+- **Examples**: `package.json`, `npm run build`, `VITE_PLATFORM`
+
+### Code Blocks
+
+- **Format**: Triple backticks with language specification
+- **Language**: Always specify the language for syntax highlighting
+- **Blank lines**: Surround with blank lines above and below
+
+## Automation System
+
+### Available Commands
+
+- **`npm run markdown:fix`** - Fix formatting in all markdown files
+  using markdownlint-cli2 --fix
+- **`npm run markdown:check`** - Validate formatting without fixing
+  using markdownlint-cli2
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **AI Agent Compliance** (Primary): AI follows markdown rules during
+   generation
+2. **Pre-commit Hooks** (Backup): Catches any remaining formatting
+   issues
+3. **GitHub Actions** (Pre-merge): Validates formatting before merge
+
+### Benefits
+
+- **No more manual fixes** - AI generates compliant content from start
+- **Consistent style** - All files follow same standards
+- **Faster development** - No need to fix formatting manually
+
+## Model Implementation Checklist
+
+### Before Generating Markdown Content

+# Markdown Workflow & Validation
+
+> **Agent role**: Reference this file for markdown validation rules,
+> enforcement procedures, and workflow management.
+
+## Markdownlint Configuration
+
+### Core Rules
+
+```json
+{
+  "MD013": { "line_length": 80, "code_blocks": false },
+  "MD012": true,
+  "MD022": true,
+  "MD031": true,
+  "MD032": true,
+  "MD047": true,
+  "MD009": true,
+  "MD004": { "style": "dash" }
+}
+```
+
+### Rule Explanations
+
+- **MD013**: Line length (80 chars, disabled for code blocks)
+- **MD012**: No multiple consecutive blank lines
+- **MD022**: Headings should be surrounded by blank lines
+- **MD031**: Fenced code blocks should be surrounded by blank lines
+- **MD032**: Lists should be surrounded by blank lines
+- **MD047**: Files should end with a single newline

+
+### Common Issues & Fixes
+
+#### Trailing Spaces
+
+```bash
+# Remove trailing spaces
+sed -i 's/[[:space:]]*$//' .cursor/rules/**/*.mdc
+```
+
+#### Multiple Blank Lines
+
+```bash
+# Remove multiple blank lines
+sed -i '/^$/N;/^\n$/D' .cursor/rules/**/*.mdc
+```
+
+#### Missing Newlines
+
+```bash
+# Add newline at end if missing
+find .cursor/rules -name "*.mdc" -exec sed -i -e '$a\' {} \;
+```
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### Git Workflow
+
+1. **Edit**: Make changes to MDC files
+2. **Stage**: `git add .cursor/rules/filename.mdc`
+3. **Auto-fix**: `lint-staged` runs `markdownlint-cli2 --fix`
+4. **Commit**: Changes are committed with perfect formatting

+## Objective
+
+Produce a **developer-grade, reproducible guide** for any technical topic that onboards a competent practitioner **without meta narration** and **with evidence-backed steps**.
+
+## Scope & Constraints
+
+- **One Markdown document** as the deliverable.
+- Use **absolute dates** in **UTC** (e.g., `2025-08-21T14:22Z`) — avoid “today/yesterday”.
+- Include at least **one diagram** (Mermaid preferred). Choose the most fitting type:
+  - `sequenceDiagram` (protocols/flows), `flowchart`, `stateDiagram`, `gantt` (timelines), or `classDiagram` (schemas).
+- Provide runnable examples where applicable:
+  - **APIs**: `curl` + one client library (e.g., `httpx` for Python).
+  - **CLIs**: literal command blocks and expected output snippets.
+  - **Code**: minimal, self-contained samples (language appropriate).
+- Cite **evidence** for _Works/Doesn’t_ items (timestamps, filenames, line numbers, IDs/status codes, or logs).
+- If something is unknown, output `TODO:<missing>` — **never invent**.
+
+## Required Sections (extends Base Output Contract)
+
+Follow this exact order **after** the Base Contract’s **Objective → Result → Use/Run** headers:
+
+1. **Context & Scope**
+   - Problem statement, audience, in/out-of-scope bullets.
+2. **Artifacts & Links**
+   - Repos/PRs, design docs, datasets/HARs/pcaps, scripts/tools, dashboards.
+3. **Environment & Preconditions**
+   - OS/runtime, versions/build IDs, services/endpoints/URLs, credentials/auth mode (describe acquisition, do not expose secrets).
+4. **Architecture / Process Overview**
+   - Short prose + **one diagram** selected from the list above.
+5. **Interfaces & Contracts (choose one)**
+   - **API-based**: Endpoint table (_Step, Method, Path/URL, Auth, Key Headers/Params, Sample Req/Resp ref_).
+   - **Data/Files**: I/O contract table (_Source, Format, Schema/Columns, Size, Validation rules_).
+   - **Systems/Hardware**: Interfaces table (_Port/Bus, Protocol, Voltage/Timing, Constraints_).
+6. **Repro: End-to-End Procedure**
+   - Minimal copy-paste steps with code/commands and **expected outputs**.
+7. **What Works (with Evidence)**
+   - Each item: **Time (UTC)** • **Artifact/Req IDs** • **Status/Result** • **Where to verify**.
+8. **What Doesn’t (Evidence & Hypotheses)**
+   - Each failure: locus (file/endpoint/module), evidence snippet; short hypothesis and **next probe**.
+9. **Risks, Limits, Assumptions**
+   - SLOs/limits, rate/size caps, security boundaries (CORS/CSRF/ACLs), retries/backoff/idempotency patterns.
+10. **Next Steps (Owner • Exit Criteria • Target Date)**
+    - Actionable, assigned, and time-bound.
+11. **References**
+    - Canonical docs, specs, tickets, prior analyses.
+
+> **Competence Hooks (per Base Context; keep lightweight):**
+>
+> - _Why this works_ (≤3 bullets) — core invariants or guarantees.  
+> - _Common pitfalls_ (≤3 bullets) — the traps we saw in evidence.  
+> - _Next skill unlock_ (1 line) — the next capability to implement/learn.  
+> - _Teach-back_ (1 line) — prompt the reader to restate the flow/architecture.
+
+> **Collaboration Hooks (per Base Context):**
+>
+> - Name reviewers for **Interfaces & Contracts** and the **diagram**.  
+> - Short **sign-off checklist** before merging/publishing the guide.
+
+## Do / Don’t (Base-aligned)
+
+- **Do** quantify progress only against a defined scope with acceptance criteria.
+- **Do** include minimal sample payloads/headers or I/O schemas; redact sensitive values.
+- **Do** keep commentary lean; if timeboxed, move depth to **Deferred for depth**.
+- **Don’t** use marketing language or meta narration (“Perfect!”, “tool called”, “new chat”).  
+- **Don’t** include IDE-specific chatter or internal rules unrelated to the task.
+
+## Validation Checklist (self-check before returning)
+
+- [ ] All Required Sections present and ordered.  
+- [ ] Diagram compiles (basic Mermaid syntax) and fits the problem.  
+- [ ] If API-based, **Auth** and **Key Headers/Params** are listed for each endpoint.  
+- [ ] Repro section includes commands/code **and expected outputs**.  
+- [ ] Every Works/Doesn’t item has **UTC timestamp**, **status/result**, and **verifiable evidence**.  
+- [ ] Next Steps include **Owner**, **Exit Criteria**, **Target Date**.  
+- [ ] Unknowns are `TODO:<missing>` — no fabrication.  
+- [ ] Base **Output Contract** sections satisfied (Objective/Result/Use/Run/Competence/Collaboration/Assumptions/References).

+# Meta-Rule: Bug Diagnosis Workflow
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer
+**Date**: August 24, 2025
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Core workflow for all bug investigation
+
+## Purpose
+
+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
+
+**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 Foundation**
+
+- **`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
+
+### **Development Workflow**
+
+- **`workflow/version_control.mdc`** - Version control during investigation
+- **`development/software_development.mdc`** - Development best practices
+
+## Critical Development Constraints
+
+### **🚫 NEVER Use Build Commands During Diagnosis**
+
+**Critical Rule**: Never use `npm run build:web` or similar build commands during bug diagnosis
+
+- **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
+
+### **Safe Diagnosis Commands**
+
+✅ **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
+
+❌ **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
+
+## Investigation Workflow
+
+### **Phase 1: Problem Definition**
+
+1. **Gather Evidence**
+   - Error messages and stack traces
+   - User-reported symptoms
+   - System logs and timestamps
+   - Reproduction steps
+
+2. **Context Analysis**
+   - When did the problem start?
+   - What changed recently?
+   - Which platform/environment?
+   - User actions leading to the issue
+
+### **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**
+
+- **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
+
+### **Error Analysis**
+
+- **Stack Trace Analysis**: Identify error origin and propagation
+- **Log Correlation**: Match errors with system events
+- **Timeline Reconstruction**: Build sequence of events

+# Meta-Rule: Change Evaluation and Breaking Change Detection
+
+**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
+   };
+   ```

+    E --> O[Use Trace Viewer]
+    O --> P[Analyze Action Sequence]
+    P --> Q[Identify Failure Point]
+```
+
+## Interfaces & Contracts
+
+### Test Results Structure
+
+| Component | Format | Content | Validation |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Error Context | Markdown | Page snapshot in YAML | Verify DOM state matches test expectations |
+| Trace Files | ZIP archive | Detailed execution trace | Use `npx playwright show-trace` |
+| HTML Reports | Interactive HTML | Screenshots, traces, logs | Check browser for full report |
+| JSON Results | JSON | Machine-readable results | Parse for automated analysis |
+
+### Investigation Commands
+
+| Step | Command | Expected Output | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Locate failed tests | `find test-results -name "*test-name*"` | Test result directories | Use exact test name patterns |
+| Check error context | `cat test-results/*/error-context.md` | Page snapshots | Look for UI state conflicts |
+| View traces | `npx playwright show-trace trace.zip` | Interactive trace viewer | Analyze exact failure sequence |
+
+## Repro: End-to-End Investigation Procedure
+
+### 1. Locate Failed Test Results
+
+```bash
+# Find all results for a specific test
+find test-results -name "*test-name*" -type d
+
+# Check for error context files
+find test-results -name "error-context.md" | head -5
+```
+
+### 2. Analyze Error Context
+
+```bash
+# Read error context for specific test
+cat test-results/test-name-test-description-browser/error-context.md
+
+# Look for UI conflicts in page snapshot
+grep -A 10 -B 5 "button.*Yes\|button.*No" test-results/*/error-context.md
+```
+
+### 3. Check Trace Files
+
+```bash
+# List available trace files
+find test-results -name "*.zip" | grep trace
+
+# View trace in browser
+npx playwright show-trace test-results/test-name/trace.zip
+```
+
+### 4. Investigate Selector Issues
+
+```typescript
+// Check for multiple elements with same text
+await page.locator('button:has-text("Yes")').count(); // Should be 1
+
+// Use more specific selectors
+await page.locator('div[role="alert"]:has-text("Register") button:has-text("Yes")').click();
+```
+
+## What Works (Evidence)
+
+- ✅ **Error context files** provide page snapshots showing exact DOM state at failure  
+  - **Time**: 2025-08-21T14:22Z  
+  - **Evidence**: `test-results/60-new-activity-New-offers-for-another-user-chromium/error-context.md` shows both alerts visible  
+  - **Verify at**: Error context files in test results directory
+
+- ✅ **Trace files** capture detailed execution sequence for failed tests  
+  - **Time**: 2025-08-21T14:22Z  
+  - **Evidence**: `trace.zip` files available for all failed tests  
+  - **Verify at**: Use `npx playwright show-trace <filename>`
+
+- ✅ **Page snapshots** reveal UI conflicts like multiple alerts with duplicate button text  
+  - **Time**: 2025-08-21T14:22Z  
+  - **Evidence**: YAML snapshots show registration + export alerts simultaneously  
+  - **Verify at**: Error context markdown files
+
+## What Doesn't (Evidence & Hypotheses)
+
+- ❌ **Generic selectors** fail with multiple similar elements at `test-playwright/testUtils.ts:161`  
+  - **Time**: 2025-08-21T14:22Z  
+  - **Evidence**: `button:has-text("Yes")` matches both "Yes" and "Yes, Export Data"  
+  - **Hypothesis**: Selector ambiguity due to multiple alerts with conflicting button text  
+  - **Next probe**: Use more specific selectors or dismiss alerts sequentially
+
+- ❌ **Timing-dependent tests** fail due to alert stacking at `src/views/ContactsView.vue:860,1283`  
+  - **Time**: 2025-08-21T14:22Z  
+  - **Evidence**: Both alerts use identical 1000ms delays, ensuring simultaneous display  
+  - **Hypothesis**: Race condition between alert displays creates UI conflicts  
+  - **Next probe**: Implement alert queuing or prevent overlapping alerts
+
+## Risks, Limits, Assumptions
+
+- **Trace file size**: Large trace files may impact storage and analysis time
+- **Browser compatibility**: Trace viewer requires specific browser support
+- **Test isolation**: Shared state between tests may affect investigation results
+- **Timing sensitivity**: Tests may pass/fail based on system performance
+
+## Next Steps
+
+| Owner | Task | Exit Criteria | Target Date (UTC) |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Development Team | Fix test selectors for multiple alerts | All tests pass consistently | 2025-08-22 |
+| Development Team | Implement alert queuing system | No overlapping alerts with conflicting buttons | 2025-08-25 |
+| Development Team | Add test IDs to alert buttons | Unique selectors for all UI elements | 2025-08-28 |

-# Time Safari Context
-
-## Project Overview
-
-Time Safari is an application designed to foster community building through gifts, gratitude, and collaborative projects. The app should make it extremely easy and intuitive for users of any age and capability to recognize contributions, build trust networks, and organize collective action. It is built on services that preserve privacy and data sovereignty.
-
-The ultimate goals of Time Safari are two-fold:
-
-1. **Connect** Make it easy, rewarding, and non-threatening for people to connect with others who have similar interests, and to initiate activities together. This helps people accomplish and learn from other individuals in less-structured environments; moreover, it helps them discover who they want to continue to support and with whom they want to maintain relationships.
-
-2. **Reveal** Widely advertise the great support and rewards that are being given and accepted freely, especially non-monetary ones. Using visuals and text, display the kind of impact that gifts are making in the lives of others. Also show useful and engaging reports of project statistics and personal accomplishments.
-
-
-## Core Approaches
-
-Time Safari should help everyday users build meaningful connections and organize collective efforts by:
-
-1. **Recognizing Contributions**: Creating permanent, verifiable records of gifts and contributions people give to each other and their communities.
-
-2. **Facilitating Collaboration**: Making it ridiculously easy for people to ask for or propose help on projects and interests that matter to them.
-
-3. **Building Trust Networks**: Enabling users to maintain their network and activity visibility. Developing reputation through verified contributions and references, which can be selectively shown to others outside the network.
-
-4. **Preserving Privacy**: Ensuring personal identifiers are only shared with explicitly authorized contacts, allowing private individuals including children to participate safely.
-
-5. **Engaging Content**: Displaying people's records in compelling stories, and highlighting those projects that are lifting people's lives long-term, both in physical support and in emotional-spiritual-creative thriving.
-
-
-## Technical Foundation
-
-This application is built on a privacy-preserving claims architecture (via endorser.ch) with these key characteristics:
-
-- **Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)**: User identities are based on public/private key pairs stored on their devices
-- **Cryptographic Verification**: All claims and confirmations are cryptographically signed
-- **User-Controlled Visibility**: Users explicitly control who can see their identifiers and data
-- **Merkle-Chained Claims**: Claims are cryptographically chained for verification and integrity
-- **Native and Web App**: Works on Capacitor (iOS, Android), Desktop (Electron and CEFPython), and web browsers
-
-## User Journey
-
-The typical progression of usage follows these stages:
-
-1. **Gratitude & Recognition**: Users begin by expressing and recording gratitude for gifts received, building a foundation of acknowledgment.
-
-2. **Project Proposals**: Users propose projects and ideas, reaching out to connect with others who share similar interests.
-
-3. **Action Triggers**: Offers of help serve as triggers and motivations to execute proposed projects, moving from ideas to action.
-
-## Context for LLM Development
-
-When developing new functionality for Time Safari, consider these design principles:
-
-1. **Accessibility First**: Features should be usable by non-technical users with minimal learning curve.
-
-2. **Privacy by Design**: All features must respect user privacy and data sovereignty.
-
-3. **Progressive Enhancement**: Core functionality should work across all devices, with richer experiences where supported.
-
-4. **Voluntary Collaboration**: The system should enable but never coerce participation.
-
-5. **Trust Building**: Features should help build verifiable trust between users.
-
-6. **Network Effects**: Consider how features scale as more users join the platform.
-
-7. **Low Resource Requirements**: The system should be lightweight enough to run on inexpensive devices users already own.
-
-## Use Cases to Support
-
-LLM development should focus on enhancing these key use cases:
-
-1. **Community Building**: Tools that help people find others with shared interests and values.
-
-2. **Project Coordination**: Features that make it easy to propose collaborative projects and to submit suggestions and offers to existing ones.
-
-3. **Reputation Building**: Methods for users to showcase their contributions and reliability, in contexts where they explicitly reveal that information.
-
-4. **Governance Experimentation**: Features that facilitate decision-making and collective governance.
-
-## Constraints
-
-When developing new features, be mindful of these constraints:
-
-1. **Privacy Preservation**: User identifiers must remain private except when explicitly shared.
-
-2. **Platform Limitations**: Features must work within the constraints of the target app platforms, while aiming to leverage the best platform technology available.
-
-3. **Endorser API Limitations**: Backend features are constrained by the endorser.ch API capabilities.
-
-4. **Performance on Low-End Devices**: The application should remain performant on older/simpler devices.
-
-5. **Offline-First When Possible**: Key functionality should work offline when feasible.
-
-## Project Technologies

-
-## Project Architecture
-
-- The application must work on web browser, PWA (Progressive Web Application), desktop via Electron, and mobile via Capacitor

-
-## Core Development Principles
-
-### DRY development
-- **Code Reuse**
-  - Extract common functionality into utility functions
-  - Create reusable components for UI patterns
-  - Implement service classes for shared business logic
-  - Use mixins for cross-cutting concerns
-  - Leverage TypeScript interfaces for shared type definitions
-
-- **Component Patterns**
-  - Create base components for common UI elements
-  - Implement higher-order components for shared behavior
-  - Use slot patterns for flexible component composition
-  - Create composable services for business logic
-  - Implement factory patterns for component creation
-
-- **State Management**
-  - Centralize state in Pinia stores
-  - Use computed properties for derived state
-  - Implement shared state selectors
-  - Create reusable state mutations
-  - Use action creators for common operations
-
-- **Error Handling**
-  - Implement centralized error handling
-  - Create reusable error components
-  - Use error boundary components
-  - Implement consistent error logging
-  - Create error type definitions
-
-- **Type Definitions**
-  - Create shared interfaces for common data structures
-  - Use type aliases for complex types
-  - Implement generic types for reusable components
-  - Create utility types for common patterns
-  - Use discriminated unions for state management
-
-- **API Integration**
-  - Create reusable API client classes
-  - Implement request/response interceptors
-  - Use consistent error handling patterns
-  - Create type-safe API endpoints
-  - Implement caching strategies
-
-- **Platform Services**
-  - Abstract platform-specific code behind interfaces
-  - Create platform-agnostic service layers
-  - Implement feature detection
-  - Use dependency injection for services
-  - Create service factories
-
-- **Testing**
-  - Create reusable test utilities
-  - Implement test factories
-  - Use shared test configurations
-  - Create reusable test helpers
-  - Implement consistent test patterns
-  
-### SOLID Principles
-- **Single Responsibility**: Each class/component should have only one reason to change
-  - Components should focus on one specific feature (e.g., QR scanning, DID management)
-  - Services should handle one type of functionality (e.g., platform services, crypto services)
-  - Utilities should provide focused helper functions
-
-- **Open/Closed**: Software entities should be open for extension but closed for modification
-  - Use interfaces for service definitions
-  - Implement plugin architecture for platform-specific features
-  - Allow component behavior extension through props and events
-
-- **Liskov Substitution**: Objects should be replaceable with their subtypes
-  - Platform services should work consistently across web/mobile
-  - Authentication providers should be interchangeable
-  - Storage implementations should be swappable
-
-- **Interface Segregation**: Clients shouldn't depend on interfaces they don't use
-  - Break down large service interfaces into smaller, focused ones
-  - Component props should be minimal and purposeful
-  - Event emissions should be specific and targeted
-
-- **Dependency Inversion**: High-level modules shouldn't depend on low-level modules
-  - Use dependency injection for services
-  - Abstract platform-specific code behind interfaces
-  - Implement factory patterns for component creation
-
-### Law of Demeter
-- Components should only communicate with immediate dependencies
-- Avoid chaining method calls (e.g., `this.service.getUser().getProfile().getName()`)
-- Use mediator patterns for complex component interactions
-- Implement facade patterns for subsystem access
-- Keep component communication through defined events and props
-
-### Composition over Inheritance
-- Prefer building components through composition
-- Use mixins for shared functionality
-- Implement feature toggles through props
-- Create higher-order components for common patterns
-- Use service composition for complex features
-
-### Interface Segregation
-- Define clear interfaces for services
-- Keep component APIs minimal and focused
-- Split large interfaces into smaller, specific ones
-- Use TypeScript interfaces for type definitions
-- Implement role-based interfaces for different use cases
-
-### Fail Fast
-- Validate inputs early in the process
-- Use TypeScript strict mode
-- Implement comprehensive error handling
-- Add runtime checks for critical operations
-- Use assertions for development-time validation
-
-### Principle of Least Astonishment
-- Follow Vue.js conventions consistently
-- Use familiar naming patterns
-- Implement predictable component behaviors
-- Maintain consistent error handling
-- Keep UI interactions intuitive
-
-### Information Hiding
-- Encapsulate implementation details
-- Use private class members
-- Implement proper access modifiers
-- Hide complex logic behind simple interfaces
-- Use TypeScript's access modifiers effectively
-
-### Single Source of Truth
-- Use Pinia for state management
-- Maintain one source for user data
-- Centralize configuration management
-- Use computed properties for derived state
-- Implement proper state synchronization
-
-### Principle of Least Privilege
-- Implement proper access control
-- Use minimal required permissions
-- Follow privacy-by-design principles
-- Restrict component access to necessary data
-- Implement proper authentication/authorization
-
-### Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)
-- Automated testing on every commit
-- Consistent build process across platforms
-- Automated deployment pipelines
-- Quality gates for code merging
-- Environment-specific configurations

+# Directive: Peaceful Co-Existence with Developers
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer
+**Date**: 2025-08-19
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Version control guidelines
+
+## Core Principles
+
+### 1) Version-Control Ownership
+
+- **MUST NOT** run `git add`, `git commit`, or any write action.
+- **MUST** leave staging/committing to the developer.
+
+### 2) Source of Truth for Commit Text
+
+- **MUST** derive messages **only** from:
+
+  - files **staged** for commit (primary), and
+  - files **awaiting staging** (context).
+
+- **MUST** use the **diffs** to inform content.
+- **MUST NOT** invent changes or imply work not present in diffs.
+
+### 3) Mandatory Preview Flow
+
+- **ALWAYS** present, before any real commit:
+
+  - file list + brief per-file notes,
+  - a **draft commit message** (copy-paste ready),
+  - nothing auto-applied.
+
+### 4) Version Synchronization Requirements
+
+- **MUST** check for version changes in `package.json` before committing
+- **MUST** ensure `CHANGELOG.md` is updated when `package.json` version changes
+- **MUST** validate version format consistency between both files
+- **MUST** include version bump commits in changelog with
+  proper semantic versioning
+
+## Assistant Output Checklist (before showing the draft)
+
+- [ ] List changed files + 1–2 line notes per file
+- [ ] Provide **one** focused draft message (subject/body/footer)
+- [ ] Subject ≤ 72 chars, imperative mood, correct `type(scope)!` syntax
+- [ ] Body only if it adds non-obvious value
+- [ ] No invented changes; aligns strictly with diffs
+- [ ] Render as a single copy-paste block for the developer
+- [ ] No invented changes; aligns strictly with diffs
+- [ ] Render as a single copy-paste block for the developer

-## Database Migration Status
-
-**Current Status**: The application is undergoing a migration from Dexie (IndexedDB) to SQLite using absurd-sql. This migration is in **Phase 2** with a well-defined migration fence in place.
-
-### Migration Progress
-- ✅ **SQLite Database Service**: Fully implemented with absurd-sql
-- ✅ **Platform Service Layer**: Unified database interface across platforms
-- ✅ **Settings Migration**: Core user settings transferred
-- ✅ **Account Migration**: Identity and key management
-- 🔄 **Contact Migration**: User contact data (via import interface)
-- 📋 **Code Cleanup**: Remove unused Dexie imports
-
-### Migration Fence
-The migration is controlled by a **migration fence** that separates legacy Dexie code from the new SQLite implementation. See [Migration Fence Definition](doc/migration-fence-definition.md) for complete details.
-
-**Key Points**:
-- Legacy Dexie database is disabled by default
-- All database operations go through `PlatformServiceMixin`
-- Migration tools provide controlled access to both databases
-- Clear separation between legacy and new code
-
-### Migration Documentation
-- [Migration Guide](doc/migration-to-wa-sqlite.md) - Complete migration process
-- [Migration Fence Definition](doc/migration-fence-definition.md) - Fence boundaries and rules
-- [Database Migration Guide](doc/database-migration-guide.md) - User-facing migration tools

 ## Setup & Building
 
 Quick start:
 
-* For setup, we recommend [pkgx](https://pkgx.dev), which installs what you need (either automatically or with the `dev` command). Core dependencies are typescript & npm; when building for other platforms, you'll need other things such as those in the pkgx.yaml & BUILDING.md files.

 ```bash
 npm install
-npm run dev
+npm run build:web:serve -- --test
 ```
 
+To be able to take action on the platform: go to [the test page](http://localhost:8080/test) and click "Become User 0".
+
 See [BUILDING.md](BUILDING.md) for comprehensive build instructions for all platforms (Web, Electron, iOS, Android, Docker).
 
+## 🛡️ Build Architecture Guard
+
+This project uses **Husky Git hooks** to protect the build system
+architecture. When you modify build-critical files, the system
+automatically blocks commits until you update `BUILDING.md`.
+
+### Quick Setup
+
+```bash
+npm run guard:setup  # Install and activate the guard
+```
+
+### How It Works
+
+- **Pre-commit**: Blocks commits if build files changed without
+  BUILDING.md updates
+- **Pre-push**: Blocks pushes if commits contain undocumented build
+  changes
+- **Protected paths**: `scripts/`, `vite.config.*`, `electron/`,
+  `android/`, `ios/`, etc.
+
+### Usage
+
+```bash
+# Test the guard manually
+npm run guard:test
+
+# Emergency bypass (use sparingly)
+git commit --no-verify
+git push --no-verify
+```
+
+**📚 Full documentation**: See `doc/README-BUILD-GUARD.md`

+TimeSafari provides a simple script-based approach to clear the local database (not the claim server) for development purposes.
+
+## Logging Configuration
+
+TimeSafari supports configurable logging levels via the `VITE_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable. This allows developers to control console output verbosity without modifying code.
 
 ### Quick Usage
+
+```bash
+# Show only errors
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=error npm run dev
+
+# Show warnings and errors
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=warn npm run dev
+
+# Show info, warnings, and errors (default)
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=info npm run dev
+
+# Show all log levels including debug
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=debug npm run dev
+```
+
+### Available Levels
+
+- **`error`**: Critical errors only
+- **`warn`**: Warnings and errors (default for production web)
+- **`info`**: Info, warnings, and errors (default for development/capacitor)
+- **`debug`**: All log levels including verbose debugging
+
+See [Logging Configuration Guide](doc/logging-configuration.md) for complete details.

-## Icons
+## Asset Management
 
-Application icons are in the `assets` directory, processed by the `capacitor-assets` command.
+TimeSafari uses a standardized asset configuration system for consistent
+icon and splash screen generation across all platforms.
 
-To add a Font Awesome icon, add to main.ts and reference with `font-awesome` element and `icon` attribute with the hyphenated name.
+### Asset Sources
+
+- **Single source of truth**: `resources/` directory (Capacitor default)
+- **Source files**: `icon.png`, `splash.png`, `splash_dark.png`
+- **Format**: PNG or SVG files for optimal quality
+
+### Asset Generation
+
+- **Configuration**: `config/assets/capacitor-assets.config.json`
+- **Schema validation**: `config/assets/schema.json`
+- **Build-time generation**: Platform assets generated via `capacitor-assets`
+- **No VCS commits**: Generated assets are never committed to version control
+
+### Development Commands
+
+```bash
+# Generate/update asset configurations
+npm run assets:config
+
+# Validate asset configurations
+npm run assets:validate
+
+# Clean generated platform assets (local dev only)
+npm run assets:clean
+
+# Build with asset generation
+npm run build:native
+```
+
+### Environment Setup & Dependencies
+
+Before building the application, ensure your development environment is properly
+configured:
+
+```bash
+# Install all dependencies (required first time and after updates)
+npm install
+
+# Validate your development environment
+npm run check:dependencies
+
+# Check prerequisites for testing
+npm run test:prerequisites
+```
+
+**Common Issues & Solutions**:
+
+- **"tsx: command not found"**: Run `npm install` to install devDependencies
+- **"capacitor-assets: command not found"**: Ensure `@capacitor/assets` is installed
+- **Build failures**: Run `npm run check:dependencies` to diagnose environment issues
+
+**Required Versions**:
+
+- Node.js: 18+ (LTS recommended)
+- npm: 8+ (comes with Node.js)
+- Platform-specific tools: Android Studio, Xcode (for mobile builds)
+
+### Platform Support
+
+- **Android**: Adaptive icons with foreground/background, monochrome support
+- **iOS**: LaunchScreen storyboard preferred, splash assets when needed
+- **Web**: PWA icons generated during build to `dist/` (not committed)
+
+### Font Awesome Icons
+
+To add a Font Awesome icon, add to `fontawesome.ts` and reference with
+`font-awesome` element and `icon` attribute with the hyphenated name.

 # Current Plan
 
-* Implement SQLite for Capacitor & web, with encryption. That will allow us to test quickly and keep the same interface for native & web, but we don't deal with migrations for current web users.
-
-* After that is delivered, write a migration for current web users from IndexedDB to SQLite.
