# CLAUDE.md — Agent operating instructions for Tapir

Read this first if you are an agent (or human) starting a work session in this repo.
It tells you how to work here. For *what* and *why*, read `README.md` and the guardrail
docs it indexes.

## Orientation order

1. `README.md` — what Tapir is, links to all guardrails.
2. `VISION.md` — the staged Definition of Success. **Stage 0 ("useful to me") is the gate.**
   Do not build Stage 1+ machinery before Stage 0 holds.
3. `DECISIONS.md` — the ADRs. Decisions are settled here; do not re-litigate without a new ADR.
4. `docs/architecture/architecture.md`, `docs/data-model.md`, `docs/use-cases/*.feature`.
5. `docs/homelab-integration.md` — the concrete endpoints/conventions you'll need.

## How to work in this repo

- **Trunk-Based Development (ADR-009).** Commit directly to `main`. One logical change per
  commit. Every commit deployable. No feature branches or PRs for solo/agent work — the only
  exception is a short-lived `agent/<desc>` branch when another agent is *simultaneously*
  active on this repo, merged within the same session.
- **Run the quality gate before every push.** `task check`. CI is the gate, not branch
  protection — do not enable branch protection on this repo.
- **Conventional commits.** `feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`. Subject line says
  what; body says why.
- **Language is Go (ADR-001).** Do not introduce Python or a second language. If you think you
  need one, that's a new ADR with a real justification, not a default.

## Things that look reusable but are NOT — read before "reusing"

These caused real mistakes that were caught and corrected; the corrections are load-bearing.

- **The `llm` package is COPIED from `hyperguild/ingestion`, not imported (ADR-004).** Tapir
  owes that repo nothing at the dependency level. Do not add `hyperguild/ingestion` as a Go
  module dependency to "share" code. If the copied `llm` needs changes, change Tapir's copy.
- **The brain sink is HTTP to brain-mcp, NOT the filesystem `brain` package (ADR-005).**
  `hyperguild/ingestion`'s `internal/brain` writes files into a brain git checkout on disk.
  That is the wrong model for Tapir. The brain sink calls brain-mcp's `brain_ingest` tool over
  HTTP. Do not copy or replicate the filesystem brain package.
- **YouTube/Vimeo OAuth is written fresh (ADR-006).** `hyperguild/ingestion`'s `internal/oauth`
  is the MCP *server's inbound* auth (client_credentials). It has nothing to do with *outbound*
  OAuth to video providers despite the shared name. Use `golang.org/x/oauth2`.

## Settled decisions you should not "helpfully" reopen

(See `DECISIONS.md` for full rationale. Listed here so you don't propose them.)

- **No Supabase** — reuse Dex / ESO+1Password / Postgres (ADR-002).
- **No global cross-tenant video/transcript table** — per-user isolation (data-model). Dedup
  across users is a Future C concern, not a Stage 0/1 default.
- **No audio-download + speech-to-text in the core path** — captions-first (ADR-007). STT is a
  deferred, bounded optional component.
- **No public SaaS / sign-up / billing / Google OAuth verification at scale** — Future C,
  deferred behind the Stage 0 gate (ADR-008).

## Architecture stance for new code

- **Clean Architecture, dependencies point inward.** The engine (use cases) depends only on the
  ports (`VideoSource`, `Summarizer`, `Sink`, `SecretStore`). Concrete providers, the AI router,
  stores, and sinks are adapters. Adding a video provider or a sink = a new adapter implementing
  the interface, nothing in the engine changes. This is what keeps "standalone vs homelab" a
  wiring choice (ADR-003).
- **BDD.** The `docs/use-cases/*.feature` files are the behavior spec. New behavior gets a
  scenario; the use-case core is tested through fake adapters, not live YouTube/brain.

## Skills (engineering discipline)

Skills live in the canonical library `mathias/skills` and are wired into this repo as
**gitignored symlinks** — do not commit them, do not add a skills manifest to this repo.

- **Install/refresh:** `task skills` (or `curl -fsSL https://gitea.d-ma.be/mathias/skills/raw/branch/main/install.sh | bash`). Idempotent.
- **Most relevant skills for Tapir work:**
  - `tdd`, `atdd`, `test-design` — the build is test-first; the `.feature` files are the ATDD spec.
  - `clean-code`, `solid` — the ports-and-adapters structure depends on these.
  - `gitea-ci` — for the CI workflow (and its act_runner gotchas) and the TBD section.
  - `debug` — when `task check` goes red for a non-obvious reason.
  - Reviewer-side: `code-review`, `refactoring`, `cognitive-load`.
  - Session close: `session-retrospective` (surface learnings into brain before context is lost).

## Current build state (start here for the first task)

The repo is **green and shipping** — last tag `v0.4.0`. `task check` passes (fmt, vet, lint,
`go test -p 1 ./...`). Go is `1.26.1` (see `go.mod`).

- Clean Architecture core is implemented: `internal/domain` (entities), `internal/ports`
  (interfaces), `internal/usecase.Engine.ProcessNewVideo` (resolve transcript → summarize →
  deliver to sinks | skip on no-transcript). The acceptance tests in `test/acceptance/` are
  green against it.
- Adapters present under `internal/adapters/`: `youtube` (captions-first `VideoSource`,
  timedtext/InnerTube acquisition per ADR-010), `summarizer` + `llm` (the copied AI router,
  Primary→Fallback per ADR-004), `store` (Postgres, golang-migrate migrations 001–006),
  `secrets` (file-backed `SecretStore`). The brain HTTP sink (ADR-005) is the remaining
  optional sink.
- Stage 1 is open (ADR-012): multi-user with **DB-enforced** isolation — Postgres RLS `FORCE`d
  on all user-owned tables (migration 003), two-user isolation test in
  `internal/adapters/store/rls_test.go`. Registration gate, per-user YouTube web connect, and
  account management (disconnect / delete, ADR-013) all shipped.
- `cmd/tapir` subcommands: `list`, `show`, `auth` (interactive host-side OAuth), `run` (batch
  watch→summarize), `serve` (the HTMX+Templ web reader/writer under `internal/web`, a new
  transport over the unchanged engine/ports — ADR-003). `tapir env` prints config.
- **Build/run:** `task check` is the gate; `task build` produces the binary. Local dev uses
  `StubAuth` (allow-all) and a `TAPIR_DB_DSN` Postgres; the deployed service uses Dex OIDC.

**Setup facts** (resolved — see `docs/homelab-integration.md` for the live values): LiteLLM is
off-cluster at `koala:30401/v1/` with `LITELLM_MASTER_KEY` from 1Password; the summarization
model is config (`TAPIR_SUMMARIZER_MODEL`, default `koala/phi4-mini`), never hardcoded. The
brain-mcp base URL and ESO ref scheme are pinned in that doc; check it before wiring rather than
re-deriving.

## Provenance (where this design came from)

- The reuse decisions came from **Spike S5**, recorded at
  `infra/docs/superpowers/handoffs/2026-06-02-video-adapter-placement.md` (read it for the
  per-package lift-vs-copy analysis).
- The `llm` package source is `hyperguild/ingestion/internal/llm` (`Client` + `Router`).
- The standalone-first framing, the Supabase/Python rejections, and the staged success
  definition came from a planning + grill session on 2026-06-02 (claude.ai). The conclusions are
  in `VISION.md` and `DECISIONS.md`; this file is the operational distillation.
