 # Git Hooks
 
-## Pre-Commit Hook: CodeScene Check
+This repo uses Husky hooks from `.husky/`. Those files are the source of truth.
 
-Il repository ha un pre-commit hook che verifica la qualità del codice prima di ogni commit.
+## Installation
 
-## Post-Commit Hook: Auto-Implement Design Changes
+`pnpm install` runs the `prepare` script and installs the hooks into `.git/hooks`.
 
-Quando committi modifiche a `ui-design.pen`, il post-commit hook:
-1. Analizza automaticamente le modifiche (colori, typography, spacing, layout)
-2. Spawna Claude Code in background per implementare le modifiche
-3. Ti notifica quando l'implementazione è completa
-
----
-
-## Pre-Commit Hook Details
-
-### Cosa Fa
-
-1. **Analizza file staged** — controlla solo TypeScript/Rust modificati
-2. **Confronta con base branch** — `origin/main` per branch, `HEAD~1` per main
-3. **Avvisa per file grandi** — >500 linee modificate
-4. **Suggerisce review** — con Claude Code + CodeScene MCP per analisi dettagliata
-
-### Bypass Hook
-
-Se sai cosa stai facendo:
+If you need to reinstall them manually:
 
 ```bash
-# Skip hook per questo commit
-git commit --no-verify -m "your message"
-
-# O includi nel commit message
-git commit -m "your message [skip codescene]"
+pnpm exec husky
 ```
 
-### Installazione (già fatto per questa repo)
+The hooks expect `node` and `pnpm` to be available. If they are installed via `nvm`, the hooks will try to load `~/.nvm/nvm.sh` automatically.
 
-L'hook è già installato in `.git/hooks/pre-commit`.
+## Policy
 
-Se cloni la repo altrove, copia l'hook:
-```bash
-cp .github/hooks/pre-commit .git/hooks/pre-commit
-chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
-```
+- Commit on `main` only.
+- Push from `main` to `origin/main` only.
+- Never use `--no-verify`.
+- `.codescene-thresholds` is a ratchet. It can only move up.
 
-### Esempio Output
+## Pre-commit
 
-#### ✅ Commit Normale
-```
-🔍 Running CodeScene Code Health check...
-   Comparing against: origin/main
-   Analyzing code changes...
-✅ CodeScene check passed
-   +42 -18 lines
+`.husky/pre-commit` blocks commits unless all of the following are true:
 
-   💡 For detailed code health analysis, run:
-      claude 'Check code health of this commit with CodeScene MCP'
-```
+- `HEAD` is attached to `main`
+- staged TypeScript files pass `pnpm lint --quiet`
+- TypeScript passes `npx tsc --noEmit`
+- frontend tests pass via `pnpm test --run --silent`
+- current CodeScene Hotspot and Average health are both at or above `.codescene-thresholds`
 
-#### ⚠️ File Grandi
-```
-🔍 Running CodeScene Code Health check...
-   Comparing against: origin/main
-   Analyzing code changes...
-⚠️  Large file changes detected (>500 lines):
-   - src/components/Editor.tsx
-   - src-tauri/src/vault.rs
+If `CODESCENE_PAT` or `CODESCENE_PROJECT_ID` is missing, the CodeScene portion is skipped, but the rest of the hook still runs.
 
-   Consider:
-   - Breaking into smaller commits
-   - Reviewing with Claude Code + CodeScene MCP
-   - Running: claude 'Review code health of staged changes'
+## Pre-push
 
-   Continue anyway? (y/N) 
-```
+`.husky/pre-push` blocks pushes unless all of the following are true:
 
-### CodeScene MCP Integration
+- the current branch is `main`
+- every pushed branch ref is `refs/heads/main -> refs/heads/main`
+- TypeScript and the Vite build pass
+- frontend coverage passes
+- Rust lint and Rust coverage pass when `src-tauri/` changed
+- the curated Playwright core smoke lane passes via `pnpm playwright:smoke`
+- current CodeScene Hotspot and Average health are both at or above `.codescene-thresholds`
 
-Per analisi dettagliata del code health, usa Claude Code:
+If the remote CodeScene scores are better than the current thresholds, the hook updates `.codescene-thresholds`, stages it, and stops the push. Commit that file normally, then push again. The hook does not auto-commit or bypass itself.
+
+## Legacy Files
+
+The legacy `pre-commit` and `post-commit` files under `.github/hooks/` are archival only. Do not copy them into `.git/hooks`; use Husky and `.husky/` instead. `install-hooks.sh` remains as a reinstall helper that runs Husky.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If a hook cannot find `node` or `pnpm`:
 
 ```bash
-# Analizza staged changes
-claude 'Check code health of staged changes with CodeScene MCP'
-
-# Analizza file specifico
-claude 'What is the code health score of src/components/Editor.tsx?'
-
-# Pre-commit safeguard
-claude 'Run pre_commit_code_health_safeguard on staged changes'
+export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
+. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
+nvm use node
 ```
 
-### Troubleshooting
-
-**Hook non si attiva:**
-- Verifica che `.git/hooks/pre-commit` esista ed sia eseguibile
-- `ls -la .git/hooks/pre-commit` — dovrebbe mostrare `-rwxr-xr-x`
-
-**Vuoi disabilitare temporaneamente:**
-```bash
-mv .git/hooks/pre-commit .git/hooks/pre-commit.disabled
-```
-
-**Vuoi riabilitare:**
-```bash
-mv .git/hooks/pre-commit.disabled .git/hooks/pre-commit
-```
-
-### Future Improvements
-
-Possibili miglioramenti:
-- [ ] Integrazione diretta API CodeScene per score numerico
-- [ ] Fail automatico se code health < soglia
-- [ ] Cache dei risultati per evitare re-analisi
-- [ ] Hook pre-push più pesante per analisi completa

-## Post-Commit Hook: Auto-Implement Design Changes
-
-### Cosa Fa
-
-Quando committi modifiche a `ui-design.pen`, il hook:
-
-1. **Analizza il diff** — usa `scripts/design-diff-analyzer.js`
-2. **Identifica modifiche significative:**
-   - 🎨 Colori (fill, backgroundColor)
-   - 📝 Typography (fontSize, fontFamily)
-   - 📏 Spacing (padding, margin, gap)
-   - 🔲 Layout (nuovi componenti, riorganizzazioni)
-3. **Spawna Claude Code** — in background via `openclaw sessions spawn`
-4. **Auto-notifica** — quando l'implementazione è completa
-
-### Cosa Implementa
-
-| Tipo Modifica | Azione |
-|--------------|--------|
-| Colori | Aggiorna `src/theme.json` o CSS variables |
-| Typography | Aggiorna `src/theme.json` typography |
-| Spacing | Aggiorna `src/theme.json` spacing |
-| Layout | Modifica/crea componenti React |
-| Testi mockup | Nessuna azione (solo design) |
-
-### Esempio Output
-
-```
-🎨 Design file changed - analyzing...
-
-📋 Implementation tasks:
-
-1. [HIGH] Update color palette
-  - fill: $--muted-foreground → #666666
-  - backgroundColor: #FFFFFF → #F5F5F5
-
-Update src/theme.json or CSS variables to match the design.
-
-2. [MEDIUM] Update typography
-  - fontSize: 14px → 16px
-
-Update src/theme.json typography settings.
-
-🚀 Spawning Claude Code to implement changes...
-
-✅ Claude Code spawned - you'll be notified when implementation is complete

-
-### Design Diff Analyzer
-
-Lo script `scripts/design-diff-analyzer.js` rileva:
-
-- **Color changes** — `"fill": "#OLD" → "#NEW"`
-- **Font changes** — `"fontSize": 14 → 16`
-- **Spacing** — `"padding": 8 → 12`
-- **Content** — testi mockup (no implementation)
-
-Uso:
-```bash
-# Analizza ultimo commit
-node scripts/design-diff-analyzer.js
-
-# Output JSON per automation
-node scripts/design-diff-analyzer.js --json
-```
-
-### Disabilitare Temporaneamente
-
-Se vuoi committare il design senza auto-implementazione:
-
-```bash
-# Disabilita hook
-mv .git/hooks/post-commit .git/hooks/post-commit.disabled
-
-# Commit
-git commit -m "design: update mockup"
-
-# Riabilita hook
-mv .git/hooks/post-commit.disabled .git/hooks/post-commit
-```
-
-### Monitorare Claude Code
-
-Mentre Claude Code lavora in background:
-
-```bash
-# Lista sub-agent attivi
-openclaw sessions list --kinds isolated
-
-# Vedi log di un sub-agent
-openclaw sessions history --session-key <key>
-
-# Ferma sub-agent (se necessario)
-openclaw subagents kill --target design-auto-implement
-```
-
-### Troubleshooting
-
-**Hook non parte:**
-- Verifica che `ui-design.pen` sia effettivamente cambiato: `git diff HEAD~1 ui-design.pen`
-- Verifica che lo script analyzer esista: `ls -la scripts/design-diff-analyzer.js`
-
-**Nessuna notifica:**
-- Claude Code potrebbe essere ancora in esecuzione — controlla `openclaw sessions list`
-- Verifica che il prompt includa `openclaw system event` al termine
-
-**Modifiche non implementate:**
-- Controlla i log di Claude Code: `openclaw sessions history --session-key <key>`
-- Il sub-agent viene auto-eliminato dopo completion (cleanup=delete)
-
-### Limitazioni
-
-- **Modifiche complesse** — layout completamente nuovi potrebbero richiedere intervento manuale
-- **Timeout** — 10 minuti max (configurabile in hook)
-- **Solo modifiche recenti** — analizza solo HEAD vs HEAD~1
+Then retry the commit or push.

+
+## 1. Task Workflow
+
+### 1a. Pick up a task
+
+Run `/laputa-next-task` — fetches next task (To Rework first, then Open), moves to In Progress, returns full description.
+
+**Before writing a single line of code:** run `mcp__codescene__code_health_score` to check the current codebase health against `.codescene-thresholds`. If the score is already below the threshold, **stop and refactor first** — find the worst files with the MCP, improve them, commit, then start the task. Never start feature work on a codebase that is already below the gate.
+
+- Read task description and all comments fully
+- For To Rework: the ❌ QA failed comment tells you exactly what to fix
+- Check `docs/adr/` for relevant architecture decisions before structural choices
+- Add a comment: `🚀 Starting work on this task. [Brief description of approach]`
+
+### 1b. Implement
+
+- Work on `main` branch — **no branches, no PRs, ever**. Pre-commit and pre-push block work from any other branch.
+- Commit every 20–30 min: `feat:`, `fix:`, `refactor:`, `test:`, `docs:`
+- **⛔ NEVER use --no-verify**
+- For UI tasks: open `ui-design.pen` first, study visual language, design in light mode
+
+### 1c. When done
+
+**Phase 1 — Playwright (only for core user flows):**
+
+Write Playwright test in `tests/smoke/<slug>.spec.ts` only if feature touches: vault open, note create/save/delete, search, wikilink navigation, git commit/push, conflict resolution. Tag a test with `@smoke` only if it protects a core pre-push workflow. Do NOT tag cosmetic or mock-heavy checks — keep those in the full regression lane. The curated `pnpm playwright:smoke` suite must stay under **5 minutes**; use `pnpm playwright:regression` for the full Playwright pass.
+
+```bash
+pnpm dev --port 5201 &
+sleep 3
+BASE_URL="http://localhost:5201" npx playwright test tests/smoke/<slug>.spec.ts
+```
+
+**Phase 2 — Native app QA:**
+
+```bash
+pnpm tauri dev &
+sleep 10
+bash ~/.openclaw/skills/laputa-qa/scripts/focus-app.sh laputa
+bash ~/.openclaw/skills/laputa-qa/scripts/screenshot.sh /tmp/qa-native.png
+```
+
+Use `osascript` for keyboard interactions. Write result as Todoist comment (✅ or ❌). **⚠️ WKWebView:** `osascript keystroke` blocked inside editor — rely on Playwright for text input features.
+
+After both phases pass, add a **completion comment** to the Todoist task before running `/laputa-done`. The comment must include:
+- What was implemented (1–2 lines)
+- QA: what was tested and how (Playwright / native screenshot / osascript)
+- Refactoring: any files refactored to meet the CodeScene gate (or "none needed")
+- ADRs: any new/updated ADRs (or "none")
+- Docs: any updated docs (ARCHITECTURE.md, ABSTRACTIONS.md, etc.) (or "none")
+- Code health: final Hotspot and Average scores after push
+
+Then run `/laputa-done <task_id>` → moves to In Review, notifies Brian, self-dispatches next task.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Development Process
+
+### Commits & pushes
+
+- Push directly to `main` — no PRs, no branches. Pre-push blocks non-`main` pushes.
+- Pre-push hook runs full check suite (build + tests + core Playwright smoke + CodeScene)
+- **A task is NOT done until `git push origin main` succeeds.** If the hook blocks: read the error, fix it (clippy, tests, CodeScene, build), commit the fix, push again. **⛔ NEVER use --no-verify**
+
+### TDD (mandatory)
+
+Red → Green → Refactor → Commit. One cycle per commit. For bugs: write failing regression test first, then fix. Exception: pure CSS/layout changes.
+
+**Test quality (Kent Beck's Desiderata):** Isolated · Deterministic · Fast · Behavioral · Structure-insensitive · Specific · Predictive. Fix flaky tests first. Prefer E2E over unit tests for user flows.
+
+### Code health (mandatory)
+
+Pre-commit and pre-push hooks enforce **Hotspot Code Health** and **Average Code Health** ≥ thresholds in `.codescene-thresholds`. Both gates block commit/push. Thresholds are a **ratchet** — only go up. When pre-push sees improved remote scores, it updates `.codescene-thresholds`, stages it, and stops so you can commit the new floor with normal verified hooks before pushing again. Never add `// eslint-disable`, `#[allow(...)]`, or `as any`.
+
+**⛔ NEVER edit `.codescene-thresholds` to lower the values.** If the gate blocks you, improve the code — do not lower the bar.
+
+**Before every commit:** run `mcp__codescene__code_health_review` on files you touched and verify score is higher. **Boy Scout Rule:** every file you touch must leave with a higher score.
+
+**If CodeScene gate blocks your push:** use `mcp__codescene__code_health_score` to find the worst file, refactor it, commit, push again. Do NOT stop or wait for laputa-refactor — that is a background loop, not a substitute for fixing your own regressions.
+
+### Check suite (runs on every push)
+```bash
+pnpm lint && npx tsc --noEmit && pnpm test && pnpm test:coverage  # frontend ≥70%
+cargo test && cargo llvm-cov --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml --no-clean --fail-under-lines 85
+```
+
+### ADRs & docs
+
+ADRs live in `docs/adr/`. Create in the same commit as the code. Never edit existing — create a new one that supersedes. Use `/create-adr`. **When:** new dependency, storage strategy, platform target, core abstraction, cross-cutting pattern. **Not for:** bug fixes, styling, refactors.
+
+After any Tauri command, new component/hook, data model change, or new integration: update `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`, `docs/ABSTRACTIONS.md`, and/or `docs/GETTING-STARTED.md` in the same commit.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Product Rules
+
+### User vault (`~/Laputa/`)
+
+Default to `demo-vault-v2/`. If you must use `~/Laputa/` for testing: **never commit changes** — always run `cd ~/Laputa && git checkout -- . && git clean -fd` when done.
+
+### UI design
+
+Open `ui-design.pen` first (light mode). Create `design/<slug>.pen` for the task; on completion merge into `ui-design.pen` and delete it.
+
+### UI components — mandatory rules
+
+**Always use shadcn/ui components.** Never use raw HTML form elements (`<input>`, `<select>`, `<button>`, native `<input type="date">`, etc.) for user-facing UI. Every interactive element must use the shadcn/ui equivalent:
+
+| Need | Use |
+|---|---|
+| Text input | `Input` from shadcn/ui |
+| Dropdown/select | `Select` from shadcn/ui |
+| Date picker | `Calendar` + `Popover` from shadcn/ui (NOT native `<input type="date">`) |
+| Button | `Button` from shadcn/ui |
+| Autocomplete/combobox | Reuse existing combobox components from the app (check `src/components/`) |
+| Wikilink picker | Reuse the wikilink autocomplete component already used in the editor and Properties panel |
+| Emoji picker | Reuse the emoji picker component already used for note/type icons |
+| Color picker | Reuse the color swatch picker used for type customization |
+| Toggle/switch | `Switch` or `ToggleGroup` from shadcn/ui |
+| Dialog/modal | `Dialog` from shadcn/ui |
+
+**When in doubt:** search `src/components/` for an existing component before building new. **Visual language:** all new UI must feel native to Laputa — if it looks like a browser default, it's wrong.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Reference
+
+### macOS / Tauri gotchas
+
+- `Option+N` → special chars on macOS. Use `e.code` or `Cmd+N`
+- Tauri menu accelerators: `MenuItemBuilder::new(label).accelerator("CmdOrCtrl+1")`
+- `app.set_menu()` replaces the ENTIRE menu bar — include all submenus
+- `mock-tauri.ts` silently swallows Tauri calls — not a substitute for native testing
+### QA scripts
+
+```bash
+bash ~/.openclaw/skills/laputa-qa/scripts/focus-app.sh laputa
+bash ~/.openclaw/skills/laputa-qa/scripts/screenshot.sh /tmp/out.png
+bash ~/.openclaw/skills/laputa-qa/scripts/shortcut.sh "command" "s"
+```
+
+### Diagrams
+
+Prefer Mermaid (`flowchart`, `sequenceDiagram`, `classDiagram`, `stateDiagram-v2`). ASCII only for spatial wireframe layouts.

+# AGENTS.md — Laputa Vault
+
+This is a [Laputa](https://github.com/refactoringhq/laputa-app) vault — a folder of markdown files with YAML frontmatter forming a personal knowledge graph.
+
+## Note structure
+
+Every note is a markdown file. The **first H1 heading in the body is the title** — there is no `title:` frontmatter field.
+
+```yaml
+---
+is_a: TypeName        # the note's type (must match the title of a type file in the vault)
+url: https://...      # example property
+belongs_to: "[[other-note]]"
+related_to:
+  - "[[note-a]]"
+  - "[[note-b]]"
+---
+
+# Note Title
+
+Body content in markdown.
+```
+
+System properties are prefixed with `_` (e.g. `_organized`, `_pinned`, `_icon`) — these are app-managed, do not set or show them to users unless specifically asked.
+
+## Types
+
+A type is a note with `is_a: Type`. Type files live in the vault root:
+
+```yaml
+---
+is_a: Type
+_icon: books          # Phosphor icon name in kebab-case
+_color: "#8b5cf6"     # hex color
+---
+
+# TypeName
+```
+
+To find what types exist: look for files with `is_a: Type` in the vault root.
+
+## Relationships
+
+Any frontmatter property whose value is a wikilink is a relationship. Backlinks are computed automatically.
+
+Standard names: `belongs_to`, `related_to`, `has`. Custom names are valid.
+
+## Wikilinks
+
+- `[[filename]]` or `[[Note Title]]` — link by filename or title
+- `[[filename|display text]]` — with custom display text
+- Works in frontmatter values and markdown body
+
+## Views
+
+Saved filters live in `views/` as `.view.json` files:
+
+```json
+{
+  "title": "Active Notes",
+  "filters": [
+    {"property": "is_a", "operator": "equals", "value": "Note"},
+    {"property": "status", "operator": "equals", "value": "Active"}
+  ],
+  "sort": {"property": "title", "direction": "asc"}
+}
+```
+
+## Filenames
+
+Use kebab-case: `my-note-title.md`. One note per file.
+
+## What you can do
+
+- Create/edit notes with correct frontmatter and H1 title
+- Create new type files
+- Add or modify relationships
+- Create/edit views in `views/`
+- Edit `AGENTS.md` (this file)
+

-# CLAUDE.md — Laputa Vault
+@AGENTS.md
 
-This is a [Laputa](https://github.com/refactoringhq/laputa-app) vault — a folder of markdown files with YAML frontmatter forming a personal knowledge graph.
-
-## Note structure
-
-Every note is a markdown file. The **first H1 heading in the body is the title** — there is no `title:` frontmatter field.
-
-```yaml
----
-is_a: TypeName        # the note's type (must match the title of a type file in the vault)
-url: https://...      # example property
-belongs_to: "[[other-note]]"
-related_to:
-  - "[[note-a]]"
-  - "[[note-b]]"
----
-
-# Note Title
-
-Body content in markdown.
-```
-
-System properties are prefixed with `_` (e.g. `_organized`, `_pinned`, `_icon`) — these are app-managed, do not set or show them to users unless specifically asked.
-
-## Types
-
-A type is a note with `is_a: Type`. Type files live in the vault root:
-
-```yaml
----
-is_a: Type
-_icon: books          # Phosphor icon name in kebab-case
-_color: "#8b5cf6"     # hex color
----
-
-# TypeName
-```
-
-To find what types exist: look for files with `is_a: Type` in the vault root.
-
-## Relationships
-
-Any frontmatter property whose value is a wikilink is a relationship. Backlinks are computed automatically.
-
-Standard names: `belongs_to`, `related_to`, `has`. Custom names are valid.
-
-## Wikilinks
-
-- `[[filename]]` or `[[Note Title]]` — link by filename or title
-- `[[filename|display text]]` — with custom display text
-- Works in frontmatter values and markdown body
-
-## Views
-
-Saved filters live in `views/` as `.view.json` files:
-
-```json
-{
-  "title": "Active Notes",
-  "filters": [
-    {"property": "is_a", "operator": "equals", "value": "Note"},
-    {"property": "status", "operator": "equals", "value": "Active"}
-  ],
-  "sort": {"property": "title", "direction": "asc"}
-}
-```
-
-## Filenames
-
-Use kebab-case: `my-note-title.md`. One note per file.
-
-## What you can do
-
-- Create/edit notes with correct frontmatter and H1 title
-- Create new type files
-- Add or modify relationships
-- Create/edit views in `views/`
-- Edit `CLAUDE.md` (this file)
-
-Do not modify app configuration files — those are local to each installation.
