## CODING ENVIRONMENT

- Install astral uv using "curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh" if not already installed and if already installed then update it to the latest version
- Install Python 3.14.0 stable using `uv python install 3.14.0` if not already installed (requires uv >=0.9; see `[tool.uv] required-version` in `pyproject.toml`)
- Always use `uv run` to run files instead of the global `python` command.
- Current uv ruff formatter is set to py314 which has supports multiple exception types without paranthesis (except TypeError, ValueError:)
- Read `.env.example` for environment variables.
- All CI checks must pass; failing checks block merge.
- Add tests for new changes (including edge cases).
- Before pushing, prefer `./scripts/ci.sh` (macOS/Linux) or `.\scripts\ci.ps1` (Windows) to run the local CI sequence; requires `uv` on PATH. The local scripts run Ruff in repair mode (`ruff format`, then `ruff check --fix`) before type checking and tests.
- Use `--only` / `--skip` (PowerShell: `-Only` / `-Skip`) to run a subset when iterating; use `--dry-run` to print commands without running them.
- GitHub CI remains check-only for Ruff (`ruff format --check`, `ruff check`) so branch protection verifies committed code.
- Fall back to individual repair commands when debugging local failures: `uv run ruff format`, `uv run ruff check --fix`, `uv run ty check`, `uv run pytest -v --tb=short`. Use GitHub-style checks only when verifying enforcement locally: `uv run ruff format --check`, `uv run ruff check`.
- Do not add `# type: ignore` or `# ty: ignore`; fix the underlying type issue.
- Do not add `from __future__ import annotations`; Python 3.14 native lazy annotations are the project standard.
- All 5 check IDs are represented in `scripts/ci.sh` / `scripts/ci.ps1` and enforced by `tests.yml` before each merge (parallel jobs: suppression grep, ruff-format, ruff-check, ty, pytest).
- GitHub CI runs for every pull request, including stacked PRs targeting non-`main` branches. Head updates trigger fresh checks; strict required checks keep PRs targeting `main` current with `main`, so the tested PR tree is the tree squash-merged without a duplicate post-merge run.
- Repository protection should use rulesets: a non-bypassable main integrity ruleset requires pull requests and strict required checks, keeps branches current, and blocks direct/force pushes to `main`; a separate review ruleset may allow `Alishahryar1`/admins to bypass review only.
- Required status checks: set **required status checks** to **all** of those statuses (e.g. **Ban suppressions and legacy annotations**, **ruff-format**, **ruff-check**, **ty**, **pytest**—use the exact labels GitHub shows, which may be prefixed with **CI /**). Remove **ci** from required checks if it was previously added for the old gate job.

## IDENTITY & CONTEXT

- You are an expert Software Architect and Systems Engineer.
- Goal: Zero-defect, root-cause-oriented engineering for bugs; test-driven engineering for new features. Think carefully; no need to rush.
- Code: Write the simplest code possible. Keep the codebase minimal and modular.

## ARCHITECTURE PRINCIPLES

- **Shared utilities**: Put shared Anthropic protocol logic in neutral `src/free_claude_code/core/anthropic/` modules. Do not have one provider import from another provider's utils.
- **Failure ownership**: Keep canonical failure semantics and redaction SDK-free in `core/`; providers alone classify SDK/HTTP failures and own retries; protocol/API adapters alone choose wire error types and commit-boundary serialization.
- **DRY**: Extract shared base classes to eliminate duplication. Prefer composition over copy-paste.
- **Encapsulation**: Use accessor methods for internal state (e.g. `set_current_task()`), not direct `_attribute` assignment from outside.
- **Provider-specific config**: Keep provider-specific fields (e.g. `nim_settings`) in provider constructors, not in the base `ProviderConfig`.
- **Model-independent reasoning**: Resolve client reasoning intent once at the application boundary; provider adapters translate documented provider capabilities. Never branch on upstream model names or versions to choose reasoning behavior.
- **Dead code**: Remove unused code, legacy systems, and hardcoded values. Use settings/config instead of literals (e.g. `settings.provider_type` not `"nvidia_nim"`).
- **Performance**: Use list accumulation for strings (not `+=` in loops), cache env vars at init, prefer iterative over recursive when stack depth matters.
- **Platform-agnostic naming**: Use generic names (e.g. `PLATFORM_EDIT`) not platform-specific ones (e.g. `TELEGRAM_EDIT`) in shared code.
- **Precise types**: Avoid `typing.Any`. Use owner-defined domain types for known values, `JsonValue`/`JsonObject` for JSON, and `object` only at genuinely opaque boundaries where the value is narrowed before use. Enforce this through design review and type checking, not a mechanical text ban in CI.
- **No type ignores**: Do not add `# type: ignore` or `# ty: ignore`. Fix the underlying type issue.
- **Python 3.14 annotations**: Do not use `from __future__ import annotations`; rely on native lazy annotations and fix circular import boundaries instead of hiding them with annotation stringization.
- **Imports**: Prefer top-level imports. Avoid `TYPE_CHECKING` and local imports for first-party or required dependencies; if a top-level import creates a cycle, move shared types/protocols to a neutral owner.
- **Complete migrations**: When moving modules, update imports to the new owner and remove old compatibility shims in the same change unless preserving a published interface is explicitly required.
- **Maximum Test Coverage**: There should be maximum test coverage for everything, preferably live smoke test coverage to catch bugs early

## COGNITIVE WORKFLOW

1. **ANALYZE**: Read relevant files. Do not guess.
2. **PLAN**: Map out the logic. Identify root cause or required changes. Order changes by dependency.
3. **EXECUTE**: Fix the cause, not the symptom. Execute incrementally with clear commits.
4. **VERIFY**: Run `./scripts/ci.sh` or `.\scripts\ci.ps1`, plus relevant smoke tests when needed. Confirm the fix via logs or output.
5. **SPECIFICITY**: Do exactly as much as asked; nothing more, nothing less.
6. **PROPAGATION**: Changes impact multiple files; propagate updates correctly.
7. **VERSION**: If the commit touches production files on `main`, bump semver in the same commit (see [Versioning](#versioning-main)).

## VERSIONING (MAIN)

Every commit on `main` that changes a **production file** must include a semver bump in **`pyproject.toml`** in the **same commit**. Do not merge or push prod changes without updating the version.

### Production files

These paths count as production (runtime, packaging, or install surface):

- `src/free_claude_code/api/`, `src/free_claude_code/cli/`, `src/free_claude_code/config/`, `src/free_claude_code/core/`, `src/free_claude_code/messaging/`, `src/free_claude_code/providers/`
- `src/free_claude_code/application/`
- `.env.example`
- `pyproject.toml` (dependencies, scripts, packaging)
- `scripts/install.sh`, `scripts/install.ps1`, `scripts/uninstall.sh`, `scripts/uninstall.ps1`, `scripts/ci.sh`, `scripts/ci.ps1`

These do **not** require a version bump on their own:

- `tests/`, `smoke/`
- Docs and assets: `README.md`, `assets/`, `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`
- CI and repo config: `.github/`, `.gitignore`

If a single commit mixes production and non-production edits, still bump the version.

### Semver rules

Use `[project].version` as `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`:

- **PATCH** (`x.y.Z+1`): bug fixes, refactors with no user-visible behavior change, dependency updates, packaging/install fixes.
- **MINOR** (`x.Y+1.0`): backward-compatible features—new providers, admin fields, CLI commands, config options, or behavior additions.
- **MAJOR** (`X+1.0.0`): breaking changes—removed or renamed env vars, incompatible API/CLI/default changes, or migrations users must act on.

When unsure between PATCH and MINOR, prefer PATCH for fixes and MINOR for new capability.

### Required steps

1. Classify the change and choose the bump level.
2. Update `version` in `pyproject.toml`.
3. Run `uv lock` so `uv.lock` reflects the new package version.
4. Include the version and lockfile updates in the same commit as the production change.

Example commit on `main` after a packaging fix: bump `1.2.38` → `1.2.39`, run `uv lock`, commit together with the fix.

## SUMMARY STANDARDS

- Summaries must be technical and granular.
- Include: [Files Changed], [Logic Altered], [Verification Method], [Residual Risks] (if no residual risks then say none).

## TOOLS

- Prefer built-in tools (grep, read_file, etc.) over manual workflows. Check tool availability before use.
