+
+### **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
+
+## Usage Guidelines
+
+1. **Always-On Rules**: Start with `meta_core_always_on.mdc` for every
+   single prompt
+2. **Core Rules**: Always apply rules from `core/` directory
+3. **Context-Specific**: Use rules from appropriate subdirectories based on
+   your task
+4. **Meta-Rules**: Use workflow-specific meta-rules for specialized tasks
+   - **Documentation**: Use `meta_documentation.mdc` for all documentation work
+   - **Getting Started**: See `docs/meta_rule_usage_guide.md` for comprehensive usage instructions
+5. **Cross-References**: All files contain updated cross-references to
+   reflect the new structure
+6. **Validation**: All files pass markdown validation and maintain
+   consistent formatting
+
+## Benefits of New Organization
+
+1. **Logical grouping** - Related rules are now co-located
+2. **Easier navigation** - Developers can quickly find relevant rules
+3. **Better maintainability** - Clear separation of concerns
+4. **Scalable structure** - Easy to add new rules in appropriate categories
+5. **Consistent cross-references** - All file links updated and working
+6. **Workflow bundling** - Meta-rules provide high-level workflow guidance
+7. **Feedback integration** - Built-in feedback mechanisms for continuous improvement
+8. **Educational focus** - Documentation emphasizes human competence over technical description
+
+## File Naming Convention
+
+- **Lowercase with underscores**: `file_name.mdc`
+- **Descriptive names**: Names clearly indicate the rule's purpose
+- **Consistent extensions**: All files use `.mdc` extension
+
+## Maintenance
+
+- **Cross-references**: Update when moving files between directories
+- **Markdown validation**: Run `npm run markdown:check` after any changes
+- **Organization**: Keep related rules in appropriate subdirectories
+- **Documentation**: Update this README when adding new rules or directories

+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Core rules for every prompt
+
+## Purpose
+
+This meta-rule bundles the core rules that should be applied to **every single
+prompt** because they define fundamental behaviors, principles, and context
+that are essential for all AI interactions.
+
+## When to Use
+
+**ALWAYS** - These rules apply to every single prompt, regardless of the task
+or context. They form the foundation for all AI assistant behavior.
+
+## Bundled Rules
+
+### **Core Human Competence Principles**
+
+- **`core/base_context.mdc`** - Human competence first principles, interaction
+  guidelines, and output contract requirements

 ### 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** 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:
+- **Unit Tests**: Jest for business logic and utilities
 
-  ```ts
-  test.skip(!process.env.MOBILE_TEST, "Mobile-only test");
-  ```
+- **E2E Tests**: Playwright for critical user journeys
 
-> 🔗 **Human Hook:** Before merging new tests, hold a short sync (≤15
-> min) with QA to align on coverage and flaky test risks.
+- **Platform Tests**: Test platform-specific implementations
 
-## 7. Error Handling
+- **Integration Tests**: Test service interactions
 
-- 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`).
+## 7. Key Principles
 
-## 8. Best Practices
+### Platform Independence
 
-- 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).
+- **Abstract platform differences** behind interfaces
 
-## 9. Dependency Management
+- **Use factory pattern** for service selection
 
-- Key deps: `@capacitor/core`, `electron`, `vue`.
-- Use conditional `import()` for platform-specific libs.
+- **Maintain consistent APIs** across platforms
 
-## 10. Security Considerations
+- **Graceful degradation** when features unavailable
 
-- **Permissions**: Always check + request gracefully.
-- **Storage**: Secure storage for sensitive data; encrypt when possible.
-- **Audits**: Schedule quarterly security reviews.
+### Code Organization
 
-## 11. ADR Process
+- **Single responsibility** for each service
 
-- All major architecture choices → log in `doc/adr/`.
-- Use ADR template with Context, Decision, Consequences, Status.
-- Link related ADRs in PR descriptions.
+- **Interface segregation** for platform services
 
-> 🔗 **Human Hook:** When proposing a new ADR, schedule a 30-min
-> design sync for discussion, not just async review.
+- **Dependency injection** via mixins
 
-## 12. 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.
-
-## 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?
+- **Composition over inheritance**

-- 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** 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.
-
-## 7. 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`).
-
-## 8. 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).
-
-## 9. Dependency Management
-
-- Key deps: `@capacitor/core`, `electron`, `vue`.
-- Use conditional `import()` for platform-specific libs.
-
-## 10. Security Considerations
-
-- **Permissions**: Always check + request gracefully.
-- **Storage**: Secure storage for sensitive data; encrypt when possible.
-- **Audits**: Schedule quarterly security reviews.
-
-## 11. 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.
-
-## 12. 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.

+# 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();
+  }
+}
+
+```
+
+## Best Practices

+# 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) {

+      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 } =

+# 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

+- [ ] **Evidence Integration**: Include UTC timestamps and verifiable evidence
+- [ ] **Diagram Creation**: Create Mermaid diagram that illustrates the process
+- [ ] **Repro Steps**: Write copy-paste ready commands with expected outputs
+- [ ] **Section Completion**: Fill in all required sections completely
+
+### After Guide Creation
+
+- [ ] **Validation**: Run through the validation checklist below
+- [ ] **Evidence Review**: Verify all claims have supporting evidence
+- [ ] **Repro Testing**: Test reproduction steps to ensure they work
+- [ ] **Peer Review**: Share with technical leads for feedback
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+Before publishing, verify:
+
+- [ ] **Diagram included** and properly formatted (Mermaid syntax valid)
+- [ ] If API-based, **Auth** and **Key Headers/Params** are listed for
+  each endpoint
+- [ ] **Environment section** includes all required dependencies and
+  versions
+- [ ] Every Works/Doesn't item has **UTC timestamp**, **status/result**,
+  and **verifiable evidence**
+- [ ] **Repro steps** are copy-paste ready with expected outputs
+- [ ] Base **Output Contract** sections satisfied
+  (Objective/Result/Use/Run/Competence/Collaboration/Assumptions/References)
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### Base Context Integration
+
+- Apply historical comment management rules (see
+
+  `.cursor/rules/development/historical_comment_management.mdc`)
+
+- Apply realistic time estimation rules (see
+
+  `.cursor/rules/development/realistic_time_estimation.mdc`)
+
+### Competence Hooks
+
+- **Why this works**: Structured approach ensures completeness and
+  reproducibility
+
+- **Common pitfalls**: Skipping evidence requirements, vague language
+
+- **Next skill unlock**: Practice creating Mermaid diagrams for different
+  use cases
+
+- **Teach-back**: Explain how you would validate this guide's
+  reproducibility
+
+### Collaboration Hooks
+
+- **Reviewers**: Technical leads, subject matter experts

+# 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
+
+0. **Principle:** just the facts m'am.
+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.
+

+
+- [ ] **Problem Analysis**: Clearly understand the specific issue scope
+- [ ] **Evidence Review**: Gather evidence that justifies the change

+# 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

+# 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
+
+### Migration Notes
+
+- Use when functionality has moved to a different component/service
+
+- Explain the new location and why it's better
+
+- Provide guidance on how to use the new approach
+
+### Implementation Guides
+
+- Use when patterns have changed significantly
+
+- Explain the architectural benefits
+
+- Show how to implement the new pattern
+
+### Architectural Context
+
+- Use when the change represents a system-wide improvement
+
+- Explain the reasoning behind the change
+
+- Help future developers understand the evolution

   `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

+# 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

+
+```typescript
+
+const log = logger.withContext('UserService');
+log.info('User created', userId);
+log.error('Failed to create user', error);

 ## 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

+## 🎯 Example Planning (No Time Estimates)
+
+### **Example 1: Simple Feature**
+
+```
+
+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

+
+- Mobile platform support
+
+- Desktop platform support
+
+- Cross-platform consistency
+
+Phase 3: Testing & Polish
+
+- Comprehensive testing
+
+- Error handling
+
+- 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

+> 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
+
+### Platform Categories
+
+- **Web**: Browser compatibility, responsive design, accessibility
+
+- **Mobile**: Native APIs, platform-specific testing, deployment
+
+- **Desktop**: Electron integration, system APIs, distribution
+
+### Testing Strategy
+
+- **Unit tests**: Core functionality validation
+
+- **Integration tests**: Component interaction testing
+
+- **E2E tests**: User workflow validation
+
+- **Platform tests**: Cross-platform compatibility
+
+## Process Guidelines
+
+### Planning Phase
+
+1. **Scope Definition**: Clear requirements and acceptance criteria
+
+2. **Complexity Assessment**: Evaluate technical and business complexity
+
+3. **Phase Breakdown**: Divide into logical, testable phases
+
+4. **Milestone Definition**: Define success criteria for each phase
+
+### Execution Phase
+
+1. **Phase 1**: Foundation and core implementation
+
+2. **Phase 2**: Feature completion and integration
+
+3. **Phase 3**: Testing, refinement, and documentation
+
+4. **Phase 4**: Deployment and validation
+
+### Validation Phase
+
+1. **Acceptance Testing**: Verify against defined criteria
+
+2. **Platform Testing**: Validate across target platforms
+
+3. **Performance Testing**: Ensure performance requirements met
+
+4. **Documentation**: Update relevant documentation
+
+## Remember
+
+**Your first estimate is wrong. Your second estimate is probably still
+wrong. Focus on progress, not deadlines.**

+# 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
+
+- [ ] **Validation**: Verify time formats are correct and consistent
+- [ ] **Testing**: Test time handling across different scenarios
+- [ ] **Documentation**: Update relevant documentation with time patterns
+- [ ] **Review**: Confirm implementation follows time standards

+# 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

+};
+
+// ❌ Bad: Relative ranges
+const dateRange = {
+  start: "beginning of month",
+  end: "end of month"
+};
+
+```
+
+### Duration References
+
+```typescript
+
+// ✅ Good: Specific durations

+
+### 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"
+};

-# Time Handling in Development Workflow
+# Time Implementation — Technical Instructions
 
-**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?
+> **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.

 - **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()`)

 - **Timezone**: Current system timezone or UTC offset
+
 - **UTC Equivalent**: Convert local time to UTC for cross-team clarity
 
 #### 4. **Time Query Examples**
 
 ```bash

 #### 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

 ## 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?").

-# Markdown Automation System
-
-**Author**: Matthew Raymer
-**Date**: 2025-08-20
-**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Markdown formatting automation
-
-## Overview
-
-The Markdown Automation System ensures your markdown formatting standards are
-followed **during content generation** by AI agents, not just applied after the
-fact.
-
-## AI-First Approach
-
-### **Primary Method**: AI Agent Compliance
-
-- **AI agents follow markdown rules** while generating content
-- **No post-generation fixes needed** - content is compliant from creation
-- **Consistent formatting** across all generated documentation
-
-### **Secondary Method**: Automated Validation
-
-- **Pre-commit hooks** catch any remaining issues
-- **GitHub Actions** validate formatting before merge
-- **Manual tools** for bulk fixes when needed
-
-## How It Works
-
-### 1. **AI Agent Compliance** (Primary)
-
-- **When**: Every time AI generates markdown content
-- **What**: AI follows markdown rules during generation
-- **Result**: Content is properly formatted from creation
-
-### 2. **Pre-commit Hooks** (Backup)
-
-- **When**: Every time you commit
-- **What**: Catches any remaining formatting issues
-- **Result**: Clean, properly formatted markdown files
-
-### 3. **GitHub Actions** (Pre-merge)
-
-- **When**: Every pull request
-- **What**: Validates markdown formatting across all files
-- **Result**: Blocks merge if formatting issues exist
-
-## AI Agent Rules Integration
-
-The AI agent follows markdown rules defined in `.cursor/rules/docs/markdown.mdc`:

-# Cursor Markdown Ruleset for TimeSafari Documentation
-
-## Overview
-
-This ruleset enforces consistent markdown formatting standards across all project
-documentation, ensuring readability, maintainability, and compliance with
-markdownlint best practices.
-
-**⚠️ CRITICAL FOR AI AGENTS**: These rules must be followed DURING content
-generation, not applied after the fact. Always generate markdown that complies
-with these standards from the start.
-
-## 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
-
-### **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
-
-### **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
-
-## General 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

-
-### Task Lists
-
-- **Format**: `- [ ]` for incomplete, `- [x]` for complete
-- **Use case**: Project planning, checklists, implementation tracking
-
-## Code Block Standards
-
-### Fenced Code Blocks
-
-- **Syntax**: Triple backticks with language specification
-- **Languages**: `json`, `bash`, `typescript`, `javascript`, `yaml`, `markdown`

+# 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
+

+# 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

+# Meta-Rule: Bug Fixing
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer
+**Date**: 2025-08-21
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Bug fix implementation workflow bundling
+
+## Purpose
+
+This meta-rule bundles all the rules needed for implementing bug fixes
+with proper testing and validation. Use this after diagnosis when
+implementing the actual fix.
+
+## Workflow Constraints
+
+**This meta-rule enforces FIXING MODE for all bundled sub-rules:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "workflowMode": "fixing",
+  "constraints": {
+    "mode": "implementation",
+    "allowed": ["modify", "create", "build", "test", "commit"],
+    "required": "diagnosis_complete_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": "fixing",
+  "lastInvoked": "meta_bug_fixing.mdc",
+  "timestamp": "2025-01-27T15:30:00Z",
+  "constraints": {
+    "mode": "implementation",
+    "allowed": ["modify", "create", "build", "test", "commit"],
+    "forbidden": [],
+    "required": "diagnosis_complete_before_fixing"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**State File Location**: `.cursor/rules/.workflow_state.json`
+
+**This enables the core always-on rule to enforce fixing mode constraints.**
+
+## When to Use

+# 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
+   };
+   ```

+# Playwright Test Investigation — Harbor Pilot Directive
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer  
+**Date**: 2025-08-21T14:22Z  
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Playwright test debugging guidelines
+
+## Objective
+Provide systematic approach for investigating Playwright test failures with focus on UI element conflicts, timing issues, and selector ambiguity.
+
+## Context & Scope
+- **Audience**: Developers debugging Playwright test failures
+- **In scope**: Test failure analysis, selector conflicts, UI state investigation, timing issues
+- **Out of scope**: Test writing best practices, CI/CD configuration
+
+## Artifacts & Links
+- Test results: `test-results/` directory
+- Error context: `error-context.md` files with page snapshots
+- Trace files: `trace.zip` files for failed tests
+- HTML reports: Interactive test reports with screenshots
+
+## Environment & Preconditions
+- OS/Runtime: Linux/Windows/macOS with Node.js
+- Versions: Playwright test framework, browser drivers
+- Services: Local test server (localhost:8080), test data setup
+- Auth mode: None required for test investigation
+
+## Architecture / Process Overview
+Playwright test investigation follows a systematic diagnostic workflow that leverages built-in debugging tools and error context analysis.

+    
+    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 |

 # Directive: Peaceful Co-Existence with Developers
 
 **Author**: Matthew Raymer
 **Date**: 2025-08-19
 **Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Version control guidelines
 
-## 1) Version-Control Ownership
+## Core Principles
+### 0) let the developer control git
+### 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
+### 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
+### 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
+### 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** 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
-
-### Version Sync Checklist (Before Commit)
-
-- [ ] `package.json` version matches latest `CHANGELOG.md` entry
-- [ ] New version follows semantic versioning
-  (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[-PRERELEASE])
-- [ ] Changelog entry includes all significant changes since last version
-- [ ] Version bump commit message follows `build(version): bump to X.Y.Z`
-  format
-- [ ] Breaking changes properly documented with migration notes
-- [ ] Alert developer in chat message that version has been updated
-
-### Version Change Detection
-
-- **Check for version changes** in staged/unstaged `package.json`
-- **Alert developer** if version changed but changelog not updated
-- **Suggest changelog update** with proper format and content
-- **Validate semantic versioning** compliance
-
-### Implementation Notes
-
-- **Version Detection**: Compare `package.json` version field with latest
-  changelog entry
-- **Semantic Validation**: Ensure version follows `X.Y.Z[-PRERELEASE]`
-  format
-- **Changelog Format**: Follow [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/)
-  standards
-- **Breaking Changes**: Use `!` in commit message and `BREAKING CHANGE:`
-  in changelog

+### Build Architecture Guard
+
+The Build Architecture Guard protects your build system by enforcing documentation updates when build-critical files are modified. This ensures that all build changes are properly documented in `BUILDING.md`.
+
+#### How It Works
+
+- **Pre-commit Hook**: Automatically checks staged files before each commit
+- **Protected Files**: Build scripts, config files, and platform-specific code
+- **Documentation Requirement**: `BUILDING.md` must be updated alongside build changes
+- **Automatic Enforcement**: Git hooks prevent commits without proper documentation
+- **Feedback Collection**: Continuously improves through usage pattern analysis
+
+#### Protected File Patterns
+
+The guard monitors these sensitive paths:
+- `vite.config.*` - Build configuration
+- `scripts/**` - Build and utility scripts
+- `electron/**` - Desktop application code
+- `android/**` - Android platform code
+- `ios/**` - iOS platform code
+- `capacitor.config.ts` - Mobile configuration
+- `capacitor-assets.config.json` - Android asset configuration
+- `resources/**` - Source assets for Android resource generation
+- `package.json` - Dependencies and scripts
+
+#### Enhanced Android Protection
+
+The guard now provides enhanced protection for Android build system changes:
+
+- **Asset Validation**: Protects `validate_android_assets()` function and resource paths
+- **Resource Generation**: Monitors `capacitor-assets` integration and verification
+- **API Routing**: Protects platform-specific IP handling (emulator vs physical device)
+- **Build Modes**: Validates development/test/production mode handling
+- **Resource Fallback**: Protects automatic regeneration of missing Android resources
+
+#### Using the Guard
+
+```bash
+# Test the guard locally
+./scripts/build-arch-guard.sh --staged
+
+# Analyze guard effectiveness (for maintainers)
+./scripts/build-arch-guard.sh --feedback
+
+# Bypass for emergency commits (use sparingly)
+git commit --no-verify
+
+# Setup the guard
+npm run guard:setup
+```
+
+#### Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter `mapfile: command not found` errors:
+```bash
+# Ensure script is executable
+chmod +x scripts/build-arch-guard.sh
+
+# Test the script
+./scripts/build-arch-guard.sh --help
+```
+
+#### Feedback and Continuous Improvement
+
+The guard system includes feedback mechanisms for continuous improvement:
+
+- **Automatic Logging**: All guard executions are logged for analysis
+- **Pattern Analysis**: Identifies false positives/negatives and missing patterns
+- **Maintainer Insights**: Use `--feedback` command to analyze guard effectiveness
+- **Continuous Updates**: Guard rules and patterns are updated based on feedback
+
+**Note**: The guard is active and will block commits that modify build files without updating `BUILDING.md`. Recent enhancements provide better Android build system protection and feedback collection for continuous improvement.

+#### Android Asset Validation
+
+The Android build system now includes automatic asset validation to prevent build failures caused by missing resources. This system:
+
+- **Validates Source Assets**: Checks that required source files exist in `resources/`
+- **Checks Android Resources**: Verifies that generated Android resources are present
+- **Auto-Regenerates**: Automatically regenerates missing resources when detected
+- **Provides Clear Errors**: Gives helpful guidance when issues occur
+
+##### Asset Validation Commands
+
+```bash
+# Validate and regenerate Android assets if needed
+npm run assets:validate:android
+
+# Alternative command for asset validation
+./scripts/build-android.sh --assets-only
+
+# Check asset configuration only (no regeneration)
+npm run assets:validate
+```
+
+##### What Gets Validated
+
+**Source Assets (Required):**
+- `resources/icon.png` - App icon source
+- `resources/splash.png` - Splash screen source  
+- `resources/splash_dark.png` - Dark mode splash source
+
+**Android Resources (Generated):**
+- `android/app/src/main/res/drawable/splash.png` - Splash screen drawable
+- `android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-*/ic_launcher.png` - App icons for all densities
+- `android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-*/ic_launcher_round.png` - Round app icons for all densities
+
+##### Automatic Validation
+
+Asset validation runs automatically during all Android builds:
+
+```bash
+# All these commands now include asset validation
+npm run build:android:studio
+npm run build:android:prod
+npm run build:android:debug
+```
+
+If validation fails, the build stops with clear error messages and guidance on how to fix the issues.
+
+##### Troubleshooting Asset Issues
+
+If you encounter asset-related build failures:
+
+```bash
+# Check what's missing
+npm run assets:validate:android
+
+# Clean and regenerate everything
+npm run clean:android
+npm run assets:validate:android
+npm run build:android:studio

+
+### Vue Component Quality Patterns
+
+#### Excellent Patterns Found:
+
+**1. EntityIcon.vue (86 lines) ✅ EXCELLENT**
+```typescript
+// Clean, focused responsibility
+@Component({ name: "EntityIcon" })
+export default class EntityIcon extends Vue {
+  @Prop() contact?: Contact;
+  @Prop({ default: "" }) entityId!: string;
+  @Prop({ default: 0 }) iconSize!: number;
+  
+  generateIcon(): string {
+    // Clear priority order: profile image → avatar → fallback
+    const imageUrl = this.contact?.profileImageUrl || this.profileImageUrl;
+    if (imageUrl) return `<img src="${imageUrl}" ... />`;
+    
+    const identifier = this.contact?.did || this.entityId;
+    if (!identifier) return `<img src="${blankSquareSvg}" ... />`;
+    
+    return createAvatar(avataaars, { seed: identifier, size: this.iconSize }).toString();
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**2. QuickNav.vue (118 lines) ✅ EXCELLENT**
+```typescript
+// Simple, focused navigation component
+@Component({ name: "QuickNav" })
+export default class QuickNav extends Vue {
+  @Prop selected = "";
+  
+  // Clean template with consistent patterns
+  // Proper accessibility attributes
+  // Responsive design with safe area handling
+}
+```
+
+**3. Small Focused Views ✅ EXCELLENT**
+```typescript
+// QuickActionBvcView.vue (54 lines) - Perfect size
+// ConfirmContactView.vue (57 lines) - Focused responsibility
+// HelpNotificationTypesView.vue (73 lines) - Clear purpose
+// LogView.vue (104 lines) - Simple utility view
+```
+
+#### Problematic Patterns Found:
+
+**1. Excessive Props in Dialog Components**
+```typescript
+// GiftedDialog.vue - Too many props
+@Prop() fromProjectId = "";
+@Prop() toProjectId = "";
+@Prop() isFromProjectView = false;
+@Prop() hideShowAll = false;
+@Prop({ default: "person" }) giverEntityType = "person";
+@Prop({ default: "person" }) recipientEntityType = "person";
+// ... 10+ more props
+```
+
+**2. Complex State Machines**
+```typescript
+// ImageMethodDialog.vue - Complex state management
+cameraState: "off" | "initializing" | "active" | "error" | "retrying" | "stopped" = "off";
+showCameraPreview = false;
+isRetrying = false;
+showDiagnostics = false;
+// ... 15+ more state properties
+```
+
+**3. Excessive Reactive Properties**
+```typescript
+// AccountViewView.vue - Too many reactive properties
+downloadUrl: string = "";
+loadingLimits: boolean = false;
+loadingProfile: boolean = true;
+showAdvanced: boolean = false;
+showB64Copy: boolean = false;
+showContactGives: boolean = false;
+showDidCopy: boolean = false;
+showDerCopy: boolean = false;
+showGeneralAdvanced: boolean = false;
+showLargeIdenticonId?: string;
+showLargeIdenticonUrl?: string;
+showPubCopy: boolean = false;
+showShortcutBvc: boolean = false;
+warnIfProdServer: boolean = false;
+warnIfTestServer: boolean = false;
+zoom: number = 2;
+isMapReady: boolean = false;
+// ... 10+ more properties
+```
+
+## File Size and Complexity Analysis (All Files)
+
+### Problematic Large Files
+
+#### 1. `AccountViewView.vue` (2,215 lines) 🔴 **CRITICAL**
+**Issues Identified:**
+- **Excessive Single File Responsibility**: Handles profile, settings, notifications, server configuration, export/import, limits checking
+- **Template Complexity**: ~750 lines of template with deeply nested conditions
+- **Method Proliferation**: 50+ methods handling disparate concerns
+- **State Management**: 25+ reactive properties without clear organization
+
+#### 2. `PlatformServiceMixin.ts` (2,091 lines) ⚠️ **HIGH PRIORITY**
+**Issues Identified:**
+- **God Object Pattern**: Single file handling 80+ methods across multiple concerns
+- **Mixed Abstraction Levels**: Low-level SQL utilities mixed with high-level business logic
+- **Method Length Variance**: Some methods 100+ lines, others single-line wrappers
+
+**Refactoring Strategy:**
+```typescript
+// Current monolithic mixin
+PlatformServiceMixin.ts (2,091 lines)
+
+// Proposed separation of concerns
+├── CoreDatabaseMixin.ts          // $db, $exec, $query, $first (200 lines)
+├── SettingsManagementMixin.ts    // $settings, $saveSettings (400 lines)
+├── ContactManagementMixin.ts     // $contacts, $insertContact (300 lines)
+├── EntityOperationsMixin.ts      // $insertEntity, $updateEntity (400 lines)

+└── LoggingMixin.ts              // $log, $logError (100 lines)
+```
+
+#### 3. `HomeView.vue` (1,852 lines) ⚠️ **MODERATE PRIORITY**
+**Issues Identified:**
+- **Multiple Concerns**: Activity feed, projects, contacts, notifications in one file
+- **Complex State Management**: 20+ reactive properties with interdependencies
+- **Mixed Lifecycle Logic**: Mount, update, and destroy logic intertwined
+
+### File Size Distribution Analysis
+```
+Files > 1000 lines: 9 files (4.6% of codebase)
+Files 500-1000 lines: 23 files (11.7% of codebase)  
+Files 200-500 lines: 45 files (22.8% of codebase)
+Files < 200 lines: 120 files (60.9% of codebase)
+```
+
+**Assessment**: Good distribution with most files reasonably sized, but critical outliers need attention.
+
+## Type Safety Analysis
+
+### Type Assertion Patterns
+
+#### "as any" Usage (62 total instances) ⚠️
+
+**Vue Components & Views (41 instances):**
+```typescript
+// ImageMethodDialog.vue:504
+const activeIdentity = await (this as any).$getActiveIdentity();
+
+// GiftedDialog.vue:228  
+const activeIdentity = await (this as any).$getActiveIdentity();
+
+// AccountViewView.vue: Multiple instances for:
+// - PlatformServiceMixin method access
+// - Vue refs with complex typing
+// - External library integration (Leaflet)
+```
+
+**Other Files (21 instances):**
+- **Vue Component References** (23 instances): `(this.$refs.dialog as any)`
+- **Platform Detection** (12 instances): `(navigator as any).standalone`
+- **External Library Integration** (15 instances): Leaflet, Axios extensions
+- **Legacy Code Compatibility** (8 instances): Temporary migration code
+- **Event Handler Workarounds** (4 instances): Vue event typing issues
+
+**Example Problematic Pattern:**
+```typescript
+// src/views/AccountViewView.vue:934
+const iconDefault = L.Icon.Default.prototype as unknown as Record<string, unknown>;
+
+// Better approach:
+interface LeafletIconPrototype {
+  _getIconUrl?: unknown;
+}
+const iconDefault = L.Icon.Default.prototype as LeafletIconPrototype;
+```
+
+#### "unknown" Type Usage (755 instances)
+**Analysis**: Generally good practice showing defensive programming, but some areas could benefit from more specific typing.
+
+### Recommended Type Safety Improvements
+
+1. **Create Interface Extensions**:
+```typescript
+// src/types/platform-service-mixin.ts
+interface VueWithPlatformServiceMixin extends Vue {
+  $getActiveIdentity(): Promise<{ activeDid: string }>;
+  $saveSettings(changes: Partial<Settings>): Promise<boolean>;
+  // ... other methods
+}
+
+// src/types/external.ts
+declare global {
+  interface Navigator {
+    standalone?: boolean;
+  }
+}
+
+interface VueRefWithOpen {
+  open: (callback: (result?: unknown) => void) => void;
+}
+```
+
+2. **Component Ref Typing**:
+```typescript
+// Instead of: (this.$refs.dialog as any).open()
+// Use: (this.$refs.dialog as VueRefWithOpen).open()
+```
+
+## Error Handling Consistency Analysis
+
+### Error Handling Patterns (367 catch blocks)
+
+#### Pattern Distribution:
+1. **Structured Logging** (85%): Uses logger.error with context
+2. **User Notification** (78%): Shows user-friendly error messages  
+3. **Graceful Degradation** (92%): Provides fallback behavior
+4. **Error Propagation** (45%): Re-throws when appropriate
+
+#### Excellent Pattern Example:
+```typescript
+// src/views/AccountViewView.vue:1617
+try {
+  const response = await this.axios.delete(url, { headers });
+  if (response.status === 204) {
+    this.profileImageUrl = "";
+    this.notify.success("Image deleted successfully.");
+  }
+} catch (error) {
+  if (isApiError(error) && error.response?.status === 404) {
+    // Graceful handling - image already gone
+    this.profileImageUrl = "";
+  } else {
+    this.notify.error("Failed to delete image", TIMEOUTS.STANDARD);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Areas for Improvement:
+1. **Inconsistent Error Typing**: Some catch(error: any), others catch(error: unknown)
+2. **Missing Error Boundaries**: No Vue error boundary components
+3. **Silent Failures**: 15% of catch blocks don't notify users
+
+## Code Duplication Analysis
+
+### Significant Duplication Patterns
+
+#### 1. **Toggle Component Pattern** (12 occurrences)
+```html
+<!-- Repeated across multiple files -->
+<div class="relative ml-2 cursor-pointer" @click="toggleMethod()">
+  <input v-model="property" type="checkbox" class="sr-only" />
+  <div class="block bg-slate-500 w-14 h-8 rounded-full"></div>
+  <div class="dot absolute left-1 top-1 bg-slate-400 w-6 h-6 rounded-full transition"></div>
+</div>
+```
+
+**Solution**: Create `ToggleSwitch.vue` component with props for value, label, and change handler.
+
+#### 2. **API Error Handling Pattern** (25 occurrences)
+```typescript
+try {
+  const response = await this.axios.post(url, data, { headers });
+  if (response.status === 200) {
+    this.notify.success("Operation successful");
+  }
+} catch (error) {
+  if (isApiError(error)) {
+    this.notify.error(`Failed: ${error.message}`);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Solution**: Create `ApiRequestMixin.ts` with standardized request/response handling.
+
+#### 3. **Settings Update Pattern** (40+ occurrences)
+```typescript
+async methodName() {
+  await this.$saveSettings({ property: this.newValue });
+  this.property = this.newValue;
+}
+```
+
+**Solution**: Enhanced PlatformServiceMixin already provides `$saveSettings()` - migrate remaining manual patterns.
+
+## Dependency and Coupling Analysis
+
+### Import Dependency Patterns
+
+#### Legacy Database Coupling (EXCELLENT)
+- **Status**: 99.5% resolved (1 remaining databaseUtil import)
+- **Remaining**: `src/views/DeepLinkErrorView.vue:import { logConsoleAndDb }`
+- **Resolution**: Replace with PlatformServiceMixin `$logAndConsole()`
+
+#### Circular Dependency Status (EXCELLENT)
+- **Status**: 100% resolved, no active circular dependencies
+- **Previous Issues**: All resolved through PlatformServiceMixin architecture
+
+#### Component Coupling Analysis
+```typescript
+// High coupling components (>10 imports)
+AccountViewView.vue: 15 imports (understandable given scope)
+HomeView.vue: 12 imports 
+ProjectViewView.vue: 11 imports
+
+// Well-isolated components (<5 imports)  
+QuickActionViews: 3-4 imports each
+Component utilities: 2-3 imports each
+```
+
+**Assessment**: Reasonable coupling levels with clear architectural boundaries.
+
+## Console Logging Analysis (129 instances)
+
+### Logging Pattern Distribution:
+1. **console.log**: 89 instances (69%)
+2. **console.warn**: 24 instances (19%)  
+3. **console.error**: 16 instances (12%)
+
+### Vue Components & Views Logging (3 instances):
+- **Components**: 1 console.* call
+- **Views**: 2 console.* calls
+
+### Inconsistent Logging Approach:
+```typescript
+// Mixed patterns found:
+console.log("Direct console logging");           // 89 instances
+logger.debug("Structured logging");              // Preferred pattern
+this.$logAndConsole("Mixin logging");           // PlatformServiceMixin
+```
+
+### Recommended Standardization:
+1. **Migration Strategy**: Replace all console.* with logger.* calls
+2. **Structured Context**: Add consistent metadata to log entries
+3. **Log Levels**: Standardize debug/info/warn/error usage
+
+## Technical Debt Analysis (6 total)
+
+### Components (1 TODO):
+```typescript
+// PushNotificationPermission.vue
+// TODO: secretDB functionality needs to be migrated to PlatformServiceMixin
+```
+
+### Views (2 TODOs):
+```typescript
+// AccountViewView.vue
+// TODO: Implement this for SQLite
+// TODO: implement this for SQLite
+```
+
+### Other Files (3 TODOs):
+```typescript
+// src/db/tables/accounts.ts
+// TODO: When finished with migration, move these fields to Account and move identity and mnemonic here.
+
+// src/util.d.ts
+// TODO: , inspect: inspect
+
+// src/libs/crypto/vc/passkeyHelpers.ts
+// TODO: If it's after February 2025 when you read this then consider whether it still makes sense
+```
+
+**Assessment**: **EXCELLENT** - Only 6 TODO comments across 291 files.
+
+## Performance Anti-Patterns
+
+### Identified Issues:
+
+#### 1. **Excessive Reactive Properties**
+```typescript
+// AccountViewView.vue has 25+ reactive properties
+// Many could be computed or moved to component state
+```
+
+#### 2. **Inline Method Calls in Templates**
+```html
+<!-- Anti-pattern: -->
+<span>{{ readableDate(timeStr) }}</span>
+
+<!-- Better: -->
+<span>{{ readableTime }}</span>
+<!-- With computed property -->
+```
+
+#### 3. **Missing Key Attributes in Lists**
+```html
+<!-- Several v-for loops missing :key attributes -->
+<li v-for="item in items">
+```
+
+#### 4. **Complex Template Logic**
+```html
+<!-- AccountViewView.vue - Complex nested conditions -->
+<div v-if="!activeDid" id="noticeBeforeShare" class="bg-amber-200...">
+  <p class="mb-4">
+    <b>Note:</b> Before you can share with others or take any action, you need an identifier.
+  </p>
+  <router-link :to="{ name: 'new-identifier' }" class="inline-block...">
+    Create An Identifier
+  </router-link>
+</div>
+
+<!-- Identity Details -->
+<IdentitySection
+  :given-name="givenName"
+  :profile-image-url="profileImageUrl"
+  :active-did="activeDid"
+  :is-registered="isRegistered"
+  :show-large-identicon-id="showLargeIdenticonId"
+  :show-large-identicon-url="showLargeIdenticonUrl"
+  :show-did-copy="showDidCopy"
+  @edit-name="onEditName"
+  @show-qr-code="onShowQrCode"
+  @add-image="onAddImage"
+  @delete-image="onDeleteImage"
+  @show-large-identicon-id="onShowLargeIdenticonId"
+  @show-large-identicon-url="onShowLargeIdenticonUrl"
+/>
+```
+
+## Specific Actionable Recommendations
+
+### Priority 1: Critical File Refactoring
+
+1. **Split AccountViewView.vue**:

+   - **Strategy**: Use consistent `catch (error: unknown)` pattern
+   - **Risk**: None
+   - **Benefit**: Better error handling consistency
+
+### Priority 5: State Management Optimization
+
+1. **Create Composables for Complex State**:
+```typescript
+// src/composables/useCameraState.ts
+export function useCameraState() {
+  const cameraState = ref<CameraState>("off");
+  const showPreview = ref(false);
+  const isRetrying = ref(false);
+  
+  const startCamera = async () => { /* ... */ };
+  const stopCamera = () => { /* ... */ };
+  
+  return { cameraState, showPreview, isRetrying, startCamera, stopCamera };
+}
+```
+
+2. **Group Related Reactive Properties**:
+```typescript
+// Instead of:
+showB64Copy: boolean = false;
+showDidCopy: boolean = false;
+showDerCopy: boolean = false;
+showPubCopy: boolean = false;
+
+// Use:
+copyStates = {
+  b64: false,
+  did: false,
+  der: false,
+  pub: false
+};
+```
+
+### Priority 6: Code Standardization
+

-**Author**: Matthew Raymer
-**Version**: 1.0.8-beta
-**Description**: Time Safari Application
+[Time Safari](https://timesafari.org/) allows people to ease into collaboration: start with expressions of gratitude
+and expand to crowd-fund with time & money, then record and see the impact of contributions.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+See [ClickUp](https://sharing.clickup.com/9014278710/l/h/8cmnyhp-174/10573fec74e2ba0) for current priorities.
+
+## 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 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).

-## 🚀 Quick Start
+## Development Database Clearing
 
-### Prerequisites
+TimeSafari provides a simple script-based approach to clear the local database (not the claim server) for development purposes.
 
-- Node.js 18+
-- npm, yarn, or pnpm
-- Git
+## Logging Configuration
 
-### Installation
+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 build:web:dev
+
+# Show warnings and errors
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=warn npm run build:web:dev
+
+# Show info, warnings, and errors (default)
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=info npm run build:web:dev
+
+# Show all log levels including debug
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=debug npm run build:web: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.
+
+### Quick Usage
+```bash
+# Run the database clearing script
+./scripts/clear-database.sh
+
+# Then restart your development server
+npm run build:electron:dev  # For Electron
+npm run build:web:dev       # For Web
+```
+
+### What It Does
+
+#### **Electron (Desktop App)**
+- Automatically finds and clears the SQLite database files
+- Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
+- Clears all data and forces fresh migrations on next startup
+
+#### **Web Browser**
+- Provides instructions for using custom browser data directories
+- Shows manual clearing via browser DevTools
+- Ensures reliable database clearing without browser complications
+
+### Safety Features
+- ✅ **Interactive Script**: Guides you through the process
+- ✅ **Platform Detection**: Automatically detects your OS
+- ✅ **Clear Instructions**: Step-by-step guidance for each platform
+- ✅ **Safe Paths**: Only clears TimeSafari-specific data
+
+### Manual Commands (if needed)
+
+#### **Electron Database Location**
+```bash
+# Linux
+rm -rf ~/.config/TimeSafari/*
+
+# macOS  
+rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/TimeSafari/*
+
+# Windows
+rmdir /s /q %APPDATA%\TimeSafari
+```
+
+#### **Web Browser (Custom Data Directory)**
+```bash
+# Create isolated browser profile
+mkdir ~/timesafari-dev-data
+```
+
+## Domain Configuration
+
+TimeSafari uses a centralized domain configuration system to ensure consistent
+URL generation across all environments. This prevents localhost URLs from
+appearing in shared links during development.
+
+### Key Features
+- ✅ **Production URLs for Sharing**: All copy link buttons use production domain
+- ✅ **Environment-Specific Internal URLs**: Internal operations use appropriate
+  environment URLs
+- ✅ **Single Point of Control**: Change domain in one place for entire app
+- ✅ **Type-Safe Configuration**: Full TypeScript support
+
+### Quick Reference
+
+```typescript
+// For sharing functionality (environment-specific)
+import { APP_SERVER } from "@/constants/app";
+const shareLink = `${APP_SERVER}/deep-link/claim/123`;
+
+// For internal operations (environment-specific)
+import { APP_SERVER } from "@/constants/app";
+const apiUrl = `${APP_SERVER}/api/claim/123`;
+```
+
+### Documentation
+
+- [Constants and Configuration](src/constants/app.ts) - Core constants
+
+## Tests
+
+See [TESTING.md](test-playwright/TESTING.md) for detailed test instructions.
+
+## Asset Management
+
+TimeSafari uses a standardized asset configuration system for consistent
+icon and splash screen generation across all platforms.
+
+### 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
-npm run guard:setup  # Sets up Build Architecture Guard
+
+# Validate your development environment
+npm run check:dependencies
+
+# Check prerequisites for testing
+npm run test:prerequisites
 ```
 
-### Development
+**Common Issues & Solutions**:
 
-```bash
-npm run build:web:dev    # Build web version
-npm run build:ios:test   # Build iOS test version
-npm run build:android:test # Build Android test version
-npm run build:electron:dev # Build Electron dev version
-```
+- **"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
 
-### Testing
+**Required Versions**:
+- Node.js: 18+ (LTS recommended)
+- npm: 8+ (comes with Node.js)
+- Platform-specific tools: Android Studio, Xcode (for mobile builds)
 
-```bash
-npm run test:web         # Run web tests
-npm run test:mobile      # Run mobile tests
-npm run test:all         # Run all tests
-```
+### 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.
+
+## Other
+
+### Reference Material
+
+* Notifications can be type of `toast` (self-dismiss), `info`, `success`, `warning`, and `danger`.
+  They are done via [notiwind](https://www.npmjs.com/package/notiwind) and set up in App.vue.
+
+* [Customize Vue configuration](https://cli.vuejs.org/config/).
+
+* If you are deploying in a subdirectory, add it to `publicPath` in vue.config.js, eg: `publicPath: "/app/time-tracker/",`
+
+### Code Organization
+
+The project uses a centralized approach to type definitions and interfaces:
+
+* `src/interfaces/` - Contains all TypeScript interfaces and type definitions
+  * `deepLinks.ts` - Deep linking type system and Zod validation schemas
+  * `give.ts` - Give-related interfaces and type definitions
+  * `claims.ts` - Claim-related interfaces and verifiable credentials
+  * `common.ts` - Shared interfaces and utility types
+  * Other domain-specific interface files
+
+Key principles:
+- All interfaces and types are defined in the interfaces folder
+- Zod schemas are used for runtime validation and type generation
+- Domain-specific interfaces are separated into their own files
+- Common interfaces are shared through `common.ts`
+- Type definitions are generated from Zod schemas where possible
+
+### Database Architecture
+
+The application uses a platform-agnostic database layer with Vue mixins for service access:
+
+* `src/services/PlatformService.ts` - Database interface definition
+* `src/services/PlatformServiceFactory.ts` - Platform-specific service factory
+* `src/services/AbsurdSqlDatabaseService.ts` - SQLite implementation
+* `src/utils/PlatformServiceMixin.ts` - Vue mixin for database access with caching
+* `src/db/` - Legacy Dexie database (migration in progress)
+
+**Development Guidelines**:
+
+- Always use `PlatformServiceMixin` for database operations in components
+- Test with PlatformServiceMixin for new features
+- Use migration tools for data transfer between systems
+- Leverage mixin's ultra-concise methods: `$db()`, `$exec()`, `$one()`, `$contacts()`, `$settings()`
+
+**Architecture Decision**: The project uses Vue mixins over Composition API composables for platform service access. See [Architecture Decisions](doc/architecture-decisions.md) for detailed rationale.

+# Android Asset Validation System
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer  
+**Date**: 2025-08-22  
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Production Ready
+
+## Overview
+
+The Android Asset Validation System automatically detects and fixes missing Android resources before building, preventing common build failures related to missing splash screens and app icons.
+
+## Problem Solved
+
+Previously, Android builds would fail with errors like:
+```
+error: resource drawable/splash (aka app.timesafari.app:drawable/splash) not found.
+error: resource mipmap/ic_launcher (aka app.timesafari.app:mipmap/ic_launcher) not found.
+```
+
+This happened when:
+- Source assets existed but weren't generated into Android resources
+- Android resource directories were missing
+- Asset generation tools weren't run before building
+
+## Solution
+
+### Enhanced Build Script Validation
+
+The `scripts/build-android.sh` script now includes comprehensive asset validation that:
+
+1. **Checks Source Assets**: Validates that required source files exist in `resources/`
+2. **Checks Android Resources**: Verifies that generated Android resources exist
+3. **Auto-Regenerates**: Automatically regenerates missing resources when detected
+4. **Verifies Results**: Confirms that regeneration was successful
+
+### Validation Process
+
+```bash
+# Validates and regenerates if needed
+npm run assets:validate:android
+
+# Full build with validation
+npm run build:android:studio
+```
+
+### What Gets Validated
+
+#### Source Assets (Required)
+- `resources/icon.png` - App icon source
+- `resources/splash.png` - Splash screen source  
+- `resources/splash_dark.png` - Dark mode splash source
+
+#### Android Resources (Generated)
+- `android/app/src/main/res/drawable/splash.png` - Splash screen drawable
+- `android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-*/ic_launcher.png` - App icons for all densities
+- `android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-*/ic_launcher_round.png` - Round app icons for all densities
+
+### Density Levels Checked
+- `mipmap-mdpi` (1x)
+- `mipmap-hdpi` (1.5x)  
+- `mipmap-xhdpi` (2x)
+- `mipmap-xxhdpi` (3x)
+- `mipmap-xxxhdpi` (4x)
+
+## Usage
+
+### Automatic Validation (Recommended)
+The validation runs automatically during all Android builds:
+
+```bash
+# Development build with validation
+npm run build:android:studio
+
+# Production build with validation  
+npm run build:android:prod
+
+# Debug build with validation
+npm run build:android:debug
+```
+
+### Manual Validation
+Run validation only to check/fix assets:
+
+```bash
+# Validate and regenerate if needed
+npm run assets:validate:android
+
+# Alternative command
+./scripts/build-android.sh --assets-only
+```
+
+### Validation Only (No Regeneration)
+Check configuration without fixing:
+
+```bash
+npm run assets:validate
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Missing Source Assets
+If source assets are missing, the build fails with clear error messages:
+
+```
+[ERROR] Missing source assets:
+[ERROR]   - resources/icon.png
+[ERROR]   - resources/splash.png
+[ERROR] Please ensure all required assets are present in the resources/ directory.
+```
+
+### Missing Generated Resources
+If generated resources are missing, they're automatically regenerated:
+
+```
+[WARN] Missing Android resources detected:
+[WARN]   - drawable/splash.png
+[WARN]   - mipmap-mdpi/ic_launcher.png
+[INFO] Regenerating Android assets...
+[SUCCESS] Android assets regenerated successfully
+```
+
+### Generation Failure
+If regeneration fails, helpful guidance is provided:

+```
+[ERROR] Failed to generate Android assets
+[INFO] You may need to manually create the missing resources:
+[INFO]   - android/app/src/main/res/drawable/splash.png
+[INFO]   - android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-mdpi/ic_launcher.png
+```
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### Build Script Integration
+The validation is integrated into the main build process:
+
+```bash
+# In scripts/build-android.sh
+validate_dependencies
+validate_android_assets || {
+    log_error "Android asset validation failed. Please fix the issues above and try again."
+    exit 9
+}
+```
+
+### NPM Scripts
+New npm scripts for asset management:
+
+```json
+{
+  "assets:validate": "npx tsx scripts/assets-validator.ts",
+  "assets:validate:android": "./scripts/build-android.sh --assets-only",
+  "assets:clean": "rimraf android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-* ios/App/App/Assets.xcassets/**/AppIcon*.png ios/App/App/Assets.xcassets/**/Splash*.png || true"
+}
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+### For Developers
+- **No More Build Failures**: Automatic detection and fixing of missing resources
+- **Faster Development**: No need to manually run asset generation tools
+- **Clear Error Messages**: Helpful guidance when issues occur
+- **Consistent Results**: Same validation on all development machines
+
+### For CI/CD
+- **Reliable Builds**: Consistent asset validation across environments
+- **Early Detection**: Catches issues before they reach production
+- **Automated Fixes**: Self-healing builds when possible
+
+### For Project Maintenance
+- **Reduced Support**: Fewer "build doesn't work" issues
+- **Documentation**: Clear requirements for required assets
+- **Standardization**: Consistent asset structure across the project
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### "No assets found in the asset path"
+This occurs when the `assets/` directory is empty. The validation system automatically copies source assets and regenerates them.
+
+#### "Failed to generate Android assets"
+Check that:
+- Source assets exist in `resources/`
+- `@capacitor/assets` is installed
+- You have write permissions to the Android directories
+
+#### "Asset generation completed but some resources are still missing"
+This indicates a problem with the asset generation tool. Try:
+1. Running `npm install` to ensure dependencies are up to date
+2. Manually running `npx @capacitor/assets generate`
+3. Checking the asset generation logs for specific errors
+
+### Manual Recovery
+If automatic regeneration fails, you can manually create the missing resources:
+
+```bash
+# Create missing directories
+mkdir -p android/app/src/main/res/drawable
+mkdir -p android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-{mdpi,hdpi,xhdpi,xxhdpi,xxxhdpi}
+
+# Copy source assets to assets directory
+cp resources/icon.png assets/
+cp resources/splash.png assets/
+cp resources/splash_dark.png assets/
+
+# Generate assets manually
+npx @capacitor/assets generate
+
+# Clean up
+rm assets/icon.png assets/splash.png assets/splash_dark.png
+```
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Planned Improvements
+- **iOS Asset Validation**: Extend validation to iOS assets
+- **Asset Quality Checks**: Validate image dimensions and formats
+- **Performance Optimization**: Cache validation results
+- **CI/CD Integration**: Add validation to GitHub Actions
+
+### Configuration Options
+- **Custom Asset Paths**: Support for different asset directory structures
+- **Validation Rules**: Configurable validation requirements
+- **Skip Options**: Ability to skip validation for specific scenarios

+# Android Emulator Deployment Guide (No Android Studio)
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer  
+**Date**: 2025-01-27  
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Complete guide for deploying TimeSafari to Android emulator using command-line tools
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide provides comprehensive instructions for building and deploying TimeSafari to Android emulators using only command-line tools, without requiring Android Studio. It leverages the existing build system and adds emulator-specific deployment workflows.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Required Tools
+
+1. **Android SDK Command Line Tools**
+   ```bash
+   # Install via package manager (Arch Linux)
+   sudo pacman -S android-sdk-cmdline-tools-latest
+   
+   # Or download from Google
+   # https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line
+   ```
+
+2. **Android SDK Platform Tools**
+   ```bash
+   # Install via package manager
+   sudo pacman -S android-sdk-platform-tools
+   
+   # Or via Android SDK Manager
+   sdkmanager "platform-tools"
+   ```
+
+3. **Android SDK Build Tools**
+   ```bash
+   sdkmanager "build-tools;34.0.0"
+   ```
+
+4. **Android Platform**
+   ```bash
+   sdkmanager "platforms;android-34"
+   ```
+
+5. **Android Emulator**
+   ```bash
+   sdkmanager "emulator"
+   ```
+
+6. **System Images**
+   ```bash
+   # For API 34 (Android 14)
+   sdkmanager "system-images;android-34;google_apis;x86_64"
+   
+   # For API 33 (Android 13) - alternative
+   sdkmanager "system-images;android-33;google_apis;x86_64"
+   ```
+
+### Environment Setup
+
+```bash
+# Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
+export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk
+export ANDROID_AVD_HOME=$HOME/.android/avd  # Important for AVD location
+export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator
+export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
+export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/latest/bin
+export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools/34.0.0
+
+# Reload shell
+source ~/.bashrc
+```
+
+### Verify Installation
+
+```bash
+# Check all tools are available
+adb version
+emulator -version
+avdmanager list
+```
+
+## Resource-Aware Emulator Setup
+
+### ⚡ **Quick Start Recommendation**
+
+**For best results, always start with resource analysis:**
+
+```bash
+# 1. Check your system capabilities
+./scripts/avd-resource-checker.sh
+
+# 2. Use the generated optimal startup script
+/tmp/start-avd-TimeSafari_Emulator.sh
+
+# 3. Deploy your app
+npm run build:android:dev
+adb install -r android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
+```
+
+This prevents system lockups and ensures optimal performance.
+
+### AVD Resource Checker Script
+
+**New Feature**: TimeSafari includes an intelligent resource checker that automatically detects your system capabilities and recommends optimal AVD configurations.
+
+```bash
+# Check system resources and get recommendations
+./scripts/avd-resource-checker.sh
+
+# Check resources for specific AVD
+./scripts/avd-resource-checker.sh TimeSafari_Emulator
+
+# Test AVD startup performance
+./scripts/avd-resource-checker.sh TimeSafari_Emulator --test
+
+# Create optimized AVD with recommended settings
+./scripts/avd-resource-checker.sh TimeSafari_Emulator --create
+```
+
+**What the script analyzes:**
+- **System Memory**: Total and available RAM
+- **CPU Cores**: Available processing power
+- **GPU Capabilities**: NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, or software rendering
+- **Hardware Acceleration**: Optimal graphics settings
+
+**What it generates:**
+- **Optimal configuration**: Memory, cores, and GPU settings
+- **Startup command**: Ready-to-use emulator command
+- **Startup script**: Saved to `/tmp/start-avd-{name}.sh` for reuse
+
+## Emulator Management
+
+### Create Android Virtual Device (AVD)
+
+```bash
+# List available system images
+avdmanager list target
+
+# Create AVD for API 34
+avdmanager create avd \
+  --name "TimeSafari_Emulator" \
+  --package "system-images;android-34;google_apis;x86_64" \
+  --device "pixel_7"
+
+# List created AVDs
+avdmanager list avd
+```
+
+### Start Emulator
+
+```bash
+# Start emulator with hardware acceleration (recommended)
+emulator -avd TimeSafari_Emulator -gpu host -no-audio &
+
+# Start with reduced resources (if system has limited RAM)
+emulator -avd TimeSafari_Emulator \
+  -no-audio \
+  -memory 2048 \
+  -cores 2 \
+  -gpu swiftshader_indirect &
+
+# Start with minimal resources (safest for low-end systems)
+emulator -avd TimeSafari_Emulator \
+  -no-audio \
+  -memory 1536 \
+  -cores 1 \
+  -gpu swiftshader_indirect &
+
+# Check if emulator is running
+adb devices
+```
+
+### Resource Management
+
+**Important**: Android emulators can consume significant system resources. Choose the appropriate configuration based on your system:
+
+- **High-end systems** (16GB+ RAM, dedicated GPU): Use `-gpu host`
+- **Mid-range systems** (8-16GB RAM): Use `-memory 2048 -cores 2`
+- **Low-end systems** (4-8GB RAM): Use `-memory 1536 -cores 1 -gpu swiftshader_indirect`
+
+### Emulator Control
+
+```bash
+# Stop emulator
+adb emu kill
+
+# Restart emulator
+adb reboot
+
+# Check emulator status
+adb get-state
+```
+
+## Build and Deploy Workflow
+
+### Method 1: Using Existing Build Scripts
+
+The TimeSafari project already has comprehensive Android build scripts that can be adapted for emulator deployment:
+
+```bash
+# Development build with auto-run
+npm run build:android:dev:run
+
+# Test build with auto-run  
+npm run build:android:test:run
+
+# Production build with auto-run
+npm run build:android:prod:run
+```
+
+### Method 2: Custom Emulator Deployment Script
+
+Create a new script specifically for emulator deployment:
+
+```bash
+# Create emulator deployment script
+cat > scripts/deploy-android-emulator.sh << 'EOF'
+#!/bin/bash
+# deploy-android-emulator.sh
+# Author: Matthew Raymer
+# Date: 2025-01-27
+# Description: Deploy TimeSafari to Android emulator without Android Studio
+
+set -e

+}
+
+# Run main function
+main "$@"
+EOF
+
+# Make script executable
+chmod +x scripts/deploy-android-emulator.sh
+```
+
+### Method 3: Direct Command Line Deployment
+
+For quick deployments without scripts:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Ensure emulator is running
+adb devices
+
+# 2. Build the app
+npm run build:android:dev
+
+# 3. Install APK
+adb install -r android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
+
+# 4. Launch app
+adb shell am start -n app.timesafari/.MainActivity
+
+# 5. View logs
+adb logcat | grep -E "(TimeSafari|Capacitor|MainActivity)"
+```
+
+## Advanced Deployment Options
+
+### Custom API Server Configuration
+
+For development with custom API endpoints:
+
+```bash
+# Build with custom API IP
+npm run build:android:dev:custom
+
+# Or modify capacitor.config.ts for specific IP
+# Then build normally
+npm run build:android:dev
+```
+
+### Debug vs Release Builds
+
+```bash
+# Debug build (default)
+npm run build:android:debug
+
+# Release build
+npm run build:android:release
+
+# Install specific build
+adb install -r android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk
+```
+
+### Asset Management
+
+```bash
+# Validate Android assets
+npm run assets:validate:android
+
+# Generate assets only
+npm run build:android:assets
+
+# Clean assets
+npm run assets:clean
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Emulator Not Starting / AVD Not Found**
+   ```bash
+   # Check available AVDs
+   avdmanager list avd
+   
+   # If AVD exists but emulator can't find it, check AVD location
+   echo $ANDROID_AVD_HOME
+   ls -la ~/.android/avd/
+   
+   # Fix AVD path issue (common on Arch Linux)
+   export ANDROID_AVD_HOME=/home/$USER/.config/.android/avd
+   
+   # Or create symlinks if AVDs are in different location
+   mkdir -p ~/.android/avd
+   ln -s /home/$USER/.config/.android/avd/* ~/.android/avd/
+   
+   # Create new AVD if needed
+   avdmanager create avd --name "TimeSafari_Emulator" --package "system-images;android-34;google_apis;x86_64"
+   
+   # Check emulator logs
+   emulator -avd TimeSafari_Emulator -verbose
+   ```
+
+2. **System Lockup / High Resource Usage**
+   ```bash
+   # Kill any stuck emulator processes
+   pkill -f emulator
+   
+   # Check system resources
+   free -h
+   nvidia-smi  # if using NVIDIA GPU
+   
+   # Start with minimal resources
+   emulator -avd TimeSafari_Emulator \
+     -no-audio \
+     -memory 1536 \
+     -cores 1 \
+     -gpu swiftshader_indirect &
+   
+   # Monitor resource usage
+   htop
+   
+   # If still having issues, try software rendering only
+   emulator -avd TimeSafari_Emulator \
+     -no-audio \
+     -no-snapshot \
+     -memory 1024 \
+     -cores 1 \
+     -gpu off &
+   ```
+
+3. **ADB Device Not Found**
+   ```bash
+   # Restart ADB server
+   adb kill-server
+   adb start-server
+   
+   # Check devices
+   adb devices
+   
+   # Check emulator status
+   adb get-state
+   ```
+
+3. **Build Failures**
+   ```bash
+   # Clean everything
+   npm run clean:android
+   
+   # Rebuild
+   npm run build:android:dev
+   
+   # Check Gradle logs
+   cd android && ./gradlew clean --stacktrace
+   ```
+
+4. **Installation Failures**
+   ```bash
+   # Uninstall existing app
+   adb uninstall app.timesafari
+   
+   # Reinstall
+   adb install android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
+   
+   # Check package info
+   adb shell pm list packages | grep timesafari
+   ```
+
+### Performance Optimization
+
+1. **Emulator Performance**
+   ```bash
+   # Start with hardware acceleration
+   emulator -avd TimeSafari_Emulator -gpu host
+   
+   # Use snapshot for faster startup
+   emulator -avd TimeSafari_Emulator -snapshot default
+   
+   # Allocate more RAM
+   emulator -avd TimeSafari_Emulator -memory 4096
+   ```
+
+2. **Build Performance**
+   ```bash
+   # Use Gradle daemon
+   echo "org.gradle.daemon=true" >> android/gradle.properties
+   
+   # Increase heap size
+   echo "org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4g" >> android/gradle.properties
+   
+   # Enable parallel builds
+   echo "org.gradle.parallel=true" >> android/gradle.properties
+   ```
+
+## Integration with Existing Build System
+
+### NPM Scripts Integration
+
+Add emulator-specific scripts to `package.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "emulator:check": "./scripts/avd-resource-checker.sh",
+    "emulator:check:test": "./scripts/avd-resource-checker.sh TimeSafari_Emulator --test",
+    "emulator:check:create": "./scripts/avd-resource-checker.sh TimeSafari_Emulator --create",
+    "emulator:start": "emulator -avd TimeSafari_Emulator -no-audio &",
+    "emulator:start:optimized": "/tmp/start-avd-TimeSafari_Emulator.sh",
+    "emulator:stop": "adb emu kill",
+    "emulator:deploy": "./scripts/deploy-android-emulator.sh",
+    "emulator:deploy:dev": "./scripts/deploy-android-emulator.sh --dev",
+    "emulator:deploy:test": "./scripts/deploy-android-emulator.sh --test",
+    "emulator:deploy:prod": "./scripts/deploy-android-emulator.sh --prod",
+    "emulator:logs": "adb logcat | grep -E '(TimeSafari|Capacitor|MainActivity)'",
+    "emulator:shell": "adb shell"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### CI/CD Integration
+
+For automated testing and deployment:
+
+```bash
+# GitHub Actions example
+- name: Start Android Emulator
+  run: |
+    emulator -avd TimeSafari_Emulator -no-audio -no-snapshot &
+    adb wait-for-device
+    adb shell getprop sys.boot_completed
+
+- name: Build and Deploy
+  run: |
+    npm run build:android:test
+    adb install -r android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
+    adb shell am start -n app.timesafari/.MainActivity
+
+- name: Run Tests
+  run: |
+    npm run test:android
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Development Workflow
+
+1. **Start emulator once per session**
+   ```bash
+   emulator -avd TimeSafari_Emulator -no-audio &
+   ```
+
+2. **Use incremental builds**
+   ```bash
+   # For rapid iteration
+   npm run build:android:sync
+   adb install -r android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
+   ```
+
+3. **Monitor logs continuously**
+   ```bash
+   adb logcat | grep -E "(TimeSafari|Capacitor|MainActivity)" --color=always
+   ```
+
+### Performance Tips
+
+1. **Use snapshots for faster startup**
+2. **Enable hardware acceleration**
+3. **Allocate sufficient RAM (4GB+)**
+4. **Use SSD storage for AVDs**
+5. **Close unnecessary applications**
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+1. **Use debug builds for development only**
+2. **Never commit debug keystores**
+3. **Use release builds for testing**
+4. **Validate API endpoints in production builds**
+

+## Overview
+
+This document outlines the implementation of the `AndroidFileSaver` Capacitor plugin that provides Storage Access Framework (SAF) and MediaStore functionality for direct file saving on Android devices.
+
+## Plugin Purpose
+
+The `AndroidFileSaver` plugin enables two key file operations:
+1. **`saveToDownloads`**: Direct save to Downloads folder using MediaStore (API 29+)
+2. **`saveAs`**: User-chosen location using Storage Access Framework (SAF)
+
+## Implementation Requirements
+
+### 1. Plugin Structure
+
+```typescript
+// Plugin interface
+interface AndroidFileSaverPlugin {
+  saveToDownloads(options: { 
+    fileName: string; 
+    content: string; 
+    mimeType: string 
+  }): Promise<{ 
+    success: boolean; 
+    path?: string; 
+    error?: string 
+  }>;
+  
+  saveAs(options: { 
+    fileName: string; 
+    content: string; 
+    mimeType: string 
+  }): Promise<{ 
+    success: boolean; 
+    path?: string; 
+    error?: string 
+  }>;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Android Implementation
+
+#### MediaStore for Downloads (API 29+)
+
+```java
+@PluginMethod
+public void saveToDownloads(PluginCall call) {
+    String fileName = call.getString("fileName");
+    String content = call.getString("content");
+    String mimeType = call.getString("mimeType");
+    
+    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
+        // Use MediaStore for Downloads
+        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
+        values.put(MediaStore.Downloads.DISPLAY_NAME, fileName);
+        values.put(MediaStore.Downloads.MIME_TYPE, mimeType);
+        values.put(MediaStore.Downloads.IS_PENDING, 1);
+        
+        ContentResolver resolver = getContext().getContentResolver();
+        Uri uri = resolver.insert(MediaStore.Downloads.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
+        
+        if (uri != null) {
+            try (ParcelFileDescriptor pfd = resolver.openFileDescriptor(uri, "w")) {
+                if (pfd != null) {
+                    try (FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(pfd.getFileDescriptor())) {
+                        fos.write(content.getBytes());
+                        fos.flush();
+                        
+                        // Mark as no longer pending
+                        values.clear();
+                        values.put(MediaStore.Downloads.IS_PENDING, 0);
+                        resolver.update(uri, values, null, null);
+                        
+                        call.resolve(new JSObject()
+                            .put("success", true)
+                            .put("path", uri.toString()));
+                        return;
+                    }
+                }
+            } catch (IOException e) {
+                resolver.delete(uri, null, null);
+            }
+        }
+        
+        call.resolve(new JSObject()
+            .put("success", false)
+            .put("error", "Failed to save file"));
+    } else {
+        // Fallback for older Android versions
+        call.resolve(new JSObject()
+            .put("success", false)
+            .put("error", "Requires Android API 29+"));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### Storage Access Framework (SAF) for Save As
+
+```java
+@PluginMethod
+public void saveAs(PluginCall call) {
+    String fileName = call.getString("fileName");
+    String content = call.getString("content");
+    String mimeType = call.getString("mimeType");
+    
+    // Store call for later use
+    bridge.saveCall(call);
+    
+    // Create intent for SAF
+    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT);
+    intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
+    intent.setType(mimeType);
+    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, fileName);
+    
+    // Start activity for result
+    bridge.startActivityForResult(call, intent, "saveAsResult");
+}
+
+@ActivityCallback
+private void saveAsResult(PluginCall call, ActivityResult result) {
+    if (result.getResultCode() == Activity.RESULT_OK && result.getData() != null) {
+        Uri uri = result.getData().getData();
+        String content = call.getString("content");
+        
+        try (ParcelFileDescriptor pfd = getContext().getContentResolver()
+                .openFileDescriptor(uri, "w")) {
+            if (pfd != null) {
+                try (FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(pfd.getFileDescriptor())) {
+                    fos.write(content.getBytes());
+                    fos.flush();
+                    
+                    call.resolve(new JSObject()
+                        .put("success", true)
+                        .put("path", uri.toString()));
+                    return;
+                }
+            }
+        } catch (IOException e) {
+            // Handle error
+        }
+        
+        call.resolve(new JSObject()
+            .put("success", false)
+            .put("error", "Failed to save file"));
+    } else {
+        call.resolve(new JSObject()
+            .put("success", false)
+            .put("error", "User cancelled or failed"));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Plugin Registration
+
+```java
+@CapacitorPlugin(name = "AndroidFileSaver")
+public class AndroidFileSaverPlugin extends Plugin {
+    // Implementation methods here
+}
+```
+
+## Integration Steps
+
+### 1. Create Plugin Project
+
+```bash
+# Create new Capacitor plugin
+npx @capacitor/cli plugin:generate android-file-saver
+cd android-file-saver
+```
+
+### 2. Add to Android Project
+
+```bash
+# In your main project
+npm install ./android-file-saver
+npx cap sync android
+```
+
+### 3. Update Android Manifest
+
+Ensure the following permissions are present:
+
+```xml
+<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" 
+    android:maxSdkVersion="28" />
+<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" 
+    android:maxSdkVersion="32" />
+```
+
+## Fallback Behavior
+
+When the plugin is not available, the system falls back to:
+1. **Web**: Browser download mechanism
+2. **Electron**: Native file save via IPC
+3. **Capacitor**: Share dialog (existing behavior)
+
+## Testing
+
+### 1. Plugin Availability
+
+```typescript
+// Check if plugin is available
+if (AndroidFileSaver) {
+  // Plugin available - use native methods
+} else {
+  // Plugin not available - use fallback
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Error Handling
+
+```typescript
+try {
+  const result = await AndroidFileSaver.saveToDownloads({
+    fileName: "test.json",
+    content: '{"test": "data"}',
+    mimeType: "application/json"
+  });
+  
+  if (result.success) {
+    logger.info("File saved:", result.path);
+  } else {
+    logger.error("Save failed:", result.error);
+  }
+} catch (error) {
+  logger.error("Plugin error:", error);
+}
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Content Validation**: Validate file content before saving
+2. **MIME Type Verification**: Ensure MIME type matches file content
+3. **Permission Handling**: Request storage permissions appropriately
+4. **Error Logging**: Log errors without exposing sensitive data
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **Progress Callbacks**: Add progress reporting for large files
+2. **Batch Operations**: Support saving multiple files
+3. **Custom Locations**: Allow saving to app-specific directories
+4. **File Compression**: Add optional file compression

+# Meta-Rule Usage Guide: How to Use Meta-Rules in Practice
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer
+**Date**: 2025-08-21
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Comprehensive meta-rule usage guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide explains how to use the TimeSafari meta-rule system in practice.
+Meta-rules are high-level rule bundles that provide workflow-specific guidance
+for different types of tasks.
+
+**Educational Goal**: Help developers understand when and how to apply
+meta-rules to maximize their effectiveness and avoid common mistakes.
+
+## Why Meta-Rules Matter
+
+**Meta-rules solve the problem of rule overload** by bundling related rules
+into logical workflows. Instead of manually selecting 10+ individual rules,
+you apply 1-3 meta-rules that automatically include everything you need.
+
+### **Benefits of Using Meta-Rules**
+
+- **Faster Setup**: No need to manually select individual rules
+- **Better Coverage**: Ensures you don't miss important rules
+- **Workflow Consistency**: Standardized approaches across the team
+- **Learning Efficiency**: Learn workflows, not individual rules
+- **Quality Assurance**: Built-in validation and feedback mechanisms
+
+## Meta-Rule Selection Strategy
+
+### **Step 1: Always Start with Core Always-On**
+
+**Every single interaction** starts with:
+```
+meta_core_always_on.mdc
+```
+
+This provides the foundation: human competence principles, time standards,
+version control, and application context.
+
+### **Step 2: Identify Your Primary Task Type**
+
+Choose the meta-rule that matches your main objective:
+
+| **Task Type** | **Primary Meta-Rule** | **When to Use** |
+|---------------|------------------------|------------------|
+| **Research/Investigation** | `meta_research.mdc` | Bug diagnosis, feasibility research, code analysis |
+| **Feature Planning** | `meta_feature_planning.mdc` | New feature design, requirements analysis |
+| **Feature Implementation** | `meta_feature_implementation.mdc` | Building features, coding, testing |
+| **Bug Diagnosis** | `meta_bug_diagnosis.mdc` | Investigating issues, root cause analysis |
+| **Bug Fixing** | `meta_bug_fixing.mdc` | Implementing fixes, validation |
+| **Documentation** | `meta_documentation.mdc` | Writing docs, creating guides, tutorials |
+
+### **Step 3: Add Context-Specific Meta-Rules (Optional)**
+
+For complex tasks, you might combine multiple meta-rules:
+
+```
+meta_core_always_on + meta_research + meta_bug_diagnosis
+```
+
+## Workflow Flexibility: Phase-Based, Not Waterfall
+
+**Important**: Meta-rules represent **workflow phases**, not a rigid sequence. You can:
+
+### **Jump Between Phases Freely**
+- **Start with diagnosis** if you already know the problem
+- **Go back to research** if your fix reveals new issues  
+- **Switch to planning** mid-implementation if scope changes
+- **Document at any phase** - not just at the end
+
+### **Mode Switching by Invoking Meta-Rules**
+Each meta-rule invocation **automatically switches your workflow mode**:
+
+```
+Research Mode → Invoke @meta_bug_diagnosis → Diagnosis Mode
+Diagnosis Mode → Invoke @meta_bug_fixing → Fixing Mode
+Planning Mode → Invoke @meta_feature_implementation → Implementation Mode
+```
+
+### **Phase Constraints, Not Sequence Constraints**
+- **Within each phase**: Clear constraints on what you can/cannot do
+- **Between phases**: Complete freedom to move as needed
+- **No forced order**: Choose the phase that matches your current need
+
+### **Example of Flexible Workflow**
+```
+1. Start with @meta_research (investigation mode)
+2. Jump to @meta_bug_diagnosis (diagnosis mode) 
+3. Realize you need more research → back to @meta_research
+4. Complete diagnosis → @meta_bug_fixing (implementation mode)
+5. Find new issues → back to @meta_bug_diagnosis
+6. Complete fix → @meta_documentation (documentation mode)
+```
+
+**The "sticky" part means**: Each phase has clear boundaries, but you control when to enter/exit phases.
+
+## Practical Usage Examples
+
+### **Example 1: Bug Investigation (Flexible Flow)**
+
+**Scenario**: User reports that the contact list isn't loading properly
+
+**Initial Meta-Rule Selection**:
+```
+meta_core_always_on + meta_research + meta_bug_diagnosis
+```
+
+**What This Gives You**:
+- **Core Always-On**: Human competence focus, time standards, context
+- **Research**: Systematic investigation methodology, evidence collection
+- **Bug Diagnosis**: Defect analysis framework, root cause identification
+
+**Flexible Workflow**:
+1. Apply core always-on for foundation
+2. Use research meta-rule for systematic investigation
+3. Switch to bug diagnosis when you have enough evidence
+4. **Can go back to research** if diagnosis reveals new questions
+5. **Can jump to bug fixing** if root cause is obvious
+6. **Can document findings** at any phase
+
+### **Example 2: Feature Development (Iterative Flow)**
+
+**Scenario**: Building a new contact search feature
+
+**Meta-Rule Selection**:
+```
+meta_core_always_on + meta_feature_planning + meta_feature_implementation
+```
+
+**What This Gives You**:
+- **Core Always-On**: Foundation principles and context
+- **Feature Planning**: Requirements analysis, architecture planning
+- **Feature Implementation**: Development workflow, testing strategy
+
+**Iterative Workflow**:
+1. Start with core always-on
+2. Use feature planning for design and requirements
+3. Switch to feature implementation for coding and testing
+4. **Can return to planning** if implementation reveals design issues
+5. **Can go back to research** if you need to investigate alternatives
+6. **Can document progress** throughout the process
+
+### **Example 3: Documentation Creation (Parallel Flow)**
+
+**Scenario**: Writing a migration guide for the new database system
+
+**Meta-Rule Selection**:
+```
+meta_core_always_on + meta_documentation
+```
+
+**What This Gives You**:
+- **Core Always-On**: Foundation and context
+- **Documentation**: Educational focus, templates, quality standards
+
+**Parallel Workflow**:
+1. Apply core always-on for foundation
+2. Use documentation meta-rule for educational content creation
+3. **Can research** while documenting if you need more information
+4. **Can plan** documentation structure as you write
+5. **Can implement** examples or code snippets as needed
+6. Follow educational templates and quality standards
+
+## Meta-Rule Application Process
+
+### **1. Load the Meta-Rule**
+
+When you start a task, explicitly state which meta-rules you're applying:
+
+```
+"I'm applying meta_core_always_on + meta_research for this bug investigation."
+```
+
+### **2. Follow the Bundled Workflow**
+
+Each meta-rule provides a complete workflow. Follow it step-by-step:
+
+- **Research Meta-Rule**: Investigation → Evidence → Analysis → Conclusion
+- **Feature Planning**: Requirements → Architecture → Strategy → Validation
+- **Bug Diagnosis**: Problem → Evidence → Root Cause → Solution
+
+### **3. Use the Bundled Rules**
+
+Meta-rules automatically include all necessary sub-rules. You don't need to
+manually select individual rules - they're already bundled.
+
+### **4. Validate Against Success Criteria**
+
+Each meta-rule includes success criteria. Use these to validate your work:
+
+- [ ] **Educational Quality**: Content increases human competence
+- [ ] **Technical Quality**: All technical details are accurate
+- [ ] **Workflow Completion**: All required steps completed
+- [ ] **Quality Standards**: Meets defined quality criteria
+
+## Common Meta-Rule Combinations
+
+### **Research + Diagnosis**
+```
+meta_core_always_on + meta_research + meta_bug_diagnosis
+```
+**Use for**: Complex bug investigations requiring systematic analysis
+
+### **Planning + Implementation**
+```
+meta_core_always_on + meta_feature_planning + meta_feature_implementation
+```
+**Use for**: End-to-end feature development from concept to deployment
+
+### **Research + Planning**
+```
+meta_core_always_on + meta_research + meta_feature_planning
+```
+**Use for**: Feasibility research and solution design
+
+### **Documentation + Context**
+```
+meta_core_always_on + meta_documentation + [context-specific]
+```
+**Use for**: Creating comprehensive, educational documentation
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### **✅ Do These Things**
+
+- **Always start with core always-on** - it's the foundation
+- **Choose the primary meta-rule** that matches your main task
+- **Follow the bundled workflow** step-by-step
+- **Use success criteria** to validate your work
+- **Collect feedback** on meta-rule effectiveness
+
+### **❌ Avoid These Mistakes**
+
+- **Don't skip core always-on** - you'll lose the foundation
+- **Don't apply too many meta-rules** - stick to 2-3 maximum
+- **Don't ignore the bundled workflow** - follow it systematically
+- **Don't forget validation** - use the success criteria
+- **Don't skip feedback collection** - it improves the system
+
+## Troubleshooting Common Issues
+
+### **Problem**: Meta-rules seem to conflict
+
+**Solution**: Meta-rules are designed to work together. If you see conflicts,
+you're probably applying too many. Stick to 2-3 meta-rules maximum.
+
+### **Problem**: I don't know which meta-rule to use
+
+**Solution**: Start with your primary task type. If you're investigating a bug,
+use research + bug diagnosis. If you're building a feature, use feature
+planning + implementation.
+
+### **Problem**: The meta-rule workflow seems too complex
+
+**Solution**: Meta-rules bundle complexity into manageable workflows. Follow
+the steps one at a time. The complexity is already organized for you.
+
+### **Problem**: I'm not seeing the expected behavior
+
+**Solution**: Ensure you're following the meta-rule workflow step-by-step.
+Meta-rules provide guidance, but you still need to execute the workflow.
+
+## Feedback and Improvement
+
+### **Rate Your Experience**
+
+After using a meta-rule, provide feedback:
+
+- **Effectiveness**: How well did the meta-rule work? (1-5 scale)
+- **Time Saved**: How much time did it save you?
+- **Quality Improvement**: Did it improve your work quality?
+- **Recommendation**: Would you recommend it to others?
+
+### **Continuous Improvement**
+
+Meta-rules evolve based on feedback:
+
+- **Usage patterns** - How teams use the rules
+- **Effectiveness ratings** - What works and what doesn't
+- **Integration feedback** - How well rules work together
+- **Quality metrics** - Impact on work quality
+
+## Quick Reference

+# Seed Phrase Backup Reminder Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+This implementation adds a modal dialog that reminds users to back up their seed phrase if they haven't done so yet. The reminder appears after specific user actions and includes a 24-hour cooldown to avoid being too intrusive.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Modal Dialog**: Uses the existing notification group modal system from `App.vue`
+- **Smart Timing**: Only shows when `hasBackedUpSeed = false`
+- **24-Hour Cooldown**: Uses localStorage to prevent showing more than once per day
+- **Action-Based Triggers**: Shows after specific user actions
+- **User Choice**: "Backup Identifier Seed" or "Remind me Later" options
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Core Utility (`src/utils/seedPhraseReminder.ts`)
+
+The main utility provides:
+
+- `shouldShowSeedReminder(hasBackedUpSeed)`: Checks if reminder should be shown
+- `markSeedReminderShown()`: Updates localStorage timestamp
+- `createSeedReminderNotification()`: Creates the modal configuration
+- `showSeedPhraseReminder(hasBackedUpSeed, notifyFunction)`: Main function to show reminder
+
+### Trigger Points
+
+The reminder is shown after these user actions:
+
+**Note**: The reminder is triggered by **claim creation** actions, not claim confirmations. This focuses on when users are actively creating new content rather than just confirming existing claims.
+
+1. **Profile Saving** (`AccountViewView.vue`)
+   - After clicking "Save Profile" button
+   - Only when profile save is successful
+
+2. **Claim Creation** (Multiple views)
+   - `ClaimAddRawView.vue`: After submitting raw claims
+   - `GiftedDialog.vue`: After creating gifts/claims
+   - `GiftedDetailsView.vue`: After recording gifts/claims
+   - `OfferDialog.vue`: After creating offers
+
+3. **QR Code Views Exit**
+   - `ContactQRScanFullView.vue`: When exiting via back button
+   - `ContactQRScanShowView.vue`: When exiting via back button
+
+### Modal Configuration
+
+```typescript
+{
+  group: "modal",
+  type: "confirm",
+  title: "Backup Your Identifier Seed?",
+  text: "It looks like you haven't backed up your identifier seed yet. It's important to back it up as soon as possible to secure your identity.",
+  yesText: "Backup Identifier Seed",
+  noText: "Remind me Later",
+  onYes: () => navigate to /seed-backup,
+  onNo: () => mark as shown for 24 hours,
+  onCancel: () => mark as shown for 24 hours
+}
+```
+
+**Important**: The modal is configured with `timeout: -1` to ensure it stays open until the user explicitly interacts with one of the buttons. This prevents the dialog from closing automatically.
+
+### Cooldown Mechanism
+
+- **Storage Key**: `seedPhraseReminderLastShown`
+- **Cooldown Period**: 24 hours (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 milliseconds)
+- **Implementation**: localStorage with timestamp comparison
+- **Fallback**: Shows reminder if timestamp is invalid or missing
+
+## User Experience
+
+### When Reminder Appears
+
+- User has not backed up their seed phrase (`hasBackedUpSeed = false`)
+- At least 24 hours have passed since last reminder
+- User performs one of the trigger actions
+- **1-second delay** after the success message to allow users to see the confirmation
+
+### User Options
+
+1. **"Backup Identifier Seed"**: Navigates to `/seed-backup` page
+2. **"Remind me Later"**: Dismisses and won't show again for 24 hours
+3. **Cancel/Close**: Same behavior as "Remind me Later"
+
+### Frequency Control
+
+- **First Time**: Always shows if user hasn't backed up
+- **Subsequent**: Only shows after 24-hour cooldown
+- **Automatic Reset**: When user completes seed backup (`hasBackedUpSeed = true`)
+
+## Technical Implementation
+
+### Error Handling
+
+- Graceful fallback if localStorage operations fail
+- Logging of errors for debugging
+- Non-blocking implementation (doesn't affect main functionality)
+
+### Integration Points
+
+- **Platform Service**: Uses `$accountSettings()` to check backup status
+- **Notification System**: Integrates with existing `$notify` system
+- **Router**: Uses `window.location.href` for navigation
+
+### Performance Considerations
+
+- Minimal localStorage operations
+- No blocking operations
+- Efficient timestamp comparisons
+- **Timing Behavior**: 1-second delay before showing reminder to improve user experience flow
+
+## Testing
+
+### Manual Testing Scenarios
+
+1. **First Time User**
+   - Create new account
+   - Perform trigger action (save profile, create claim, exit QR view)
+   - Verify reminder appears
+
+2. **Repeat User (Within 24h)**
+   - Perform trigger action
+   - Verify reminder does NOT appear
+
+3. **Repeat User (After 24h)**
+   - Wait 24+ hours
+   - Perform trigger action
+   - Verify reminder appears again
+
+4. **User Who Has Backed Up**
+   - Complete seed backup
+   - Perform trigger action
+   - Verify reminder does NOT appear
+
+5. **QR Code View Exit**
+   - Navigate to QR code view (full or show)
+   - Exit via back button
+   - Verify reminder appears (if conditions are met)
+
+### Browser Testing

+- Test localStorage functionality
+- Verify timestamp handling
+- Check navigation to seed backup page
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Potential Improvements
+
+1. **Customizable Cooldown**: Allow users to set reminder frequency
+2. **Progressive Urgency**: Increase reminder frequency over time
+3. **Analytics**: Track reminder effectiveness and user response
+4. **A/B Testing**: Test different reminder messages and timing
+
+### Configuration Options
+
+- Reminder frequency settings
+- Custom reminder messages
+- Different trigger conditions
+- Integration with other notification systems
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### Monitoring
+
+- Check localStorage usage in browser dev tools
+- Monitor user feedback about reminder frequency
+- Track navigation success to seed backup page
+
+### Updates
+
+- Modify reminder text in `createSeedReminderNotification()`
+- Adjust cooldown period in `REMINDER_COOLDOWN_MS` constant
+- Add new trigger points as needed
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This implementation provides a non-intrusive way to remind users about seed phrase backup while respecting their preferences and avoiding notification fatigue. The 24-hour cooldown ensures users aren't overwhelmed while maintaining the importance of the security reminder.
+
+The feature is fully integrated with the existing codebase architecture and follows established patterns for notifications, error handling, and user interaction.

+# Z-Index Guide — TimeSafari
+
+**Author**: Development Team  
+**Date**: 2025-08-25T19:38:09-08:00  
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Z-index layering standards
+
+## Objective
+Establish consistent z-index values across the TimeSafari application to ensure proper layering of UI elements.
+
+## Result
+This document defines the z-index hierarchy for all UI components.
+
+## Use/Run
+Reference these values when implementing new components or modifying existing ones to maintain consistent layering.
+
+## Z-Index Hierarchy
+
+| Component | Z-Index | Usage |
+|-----------|---------|-------|
+| **Map** | `40` | Base map layer and map-related overlays |
+| **QuickNav** | `50` | Quick navigation bottom bar |
+| **Dialogs and Modals** | `100` | Modal dialogs, popups, and overlay content |
+| **Notifications and Toasts** | `120` | System notifications, alerts, and toast messages |
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Never exceed 120** - Keep the highest z-index reserved for critical notifications
+2. **Use increments of 10** - Leave room for future additions between layers
+3. **Document exceptions** - If you need a z-index outside this range, document the reason
+4. **Test layering** - Verify z-index behavior across different screen sizes and devices
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+- **Avoid arbitrary values** - Don't use random z-index numbers
+- **Don't nest high z-index** - Keep child elements within their parent's z-index range
+- **Consider stacking context** - Remember that `position: relative` creates new stacking contexts
+
+## Next Steps
+
+| Owner | Task | Exit Criteria | Target Date |
+|-------|------|---------------|-------------|
+| Dev Team | Apply z-index classes to existing components | All components use defined z-index values | 2025-09-01 |
+
+## Competence Hooks
+
+- **Why this works**: Creates predictable layering hierarchy that prevents UI conflicts
+- **Common pitfalls**: Using arbitrary z-index values or exceeding the defined range
+- **Next skill unlock**: Learn about CSS stacking contexts and their impact on z-index
+- **Teach-back**: Explain the z-index hierarchy to a team member without referencing this guide
+
+## Collaboration Hooks
+
+- **Reviewers**: Frontend team, UI/UX designers
+- **Sign-off checklist**: 
+  - [ ] All new components follow z-index guidelines
+  - [ ] Existing components updated to use defined values
+  - [ ] Cross-browser testing completed
+  - [ ] Mobile responsiveness verified
+
+## Assumptions & Limits
+
+- Assumes modern browser support for z-index
+- Limited to 4 defined layers (expandable if needed)
+- Requires team discipline to maintain consistency
+
