Combined spec + code-quality review of Task 3 (cmd/diff post-success cache add) in worktree `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye`.

Diff: `git diff 171c32a..51a2c0e -- apps/birdseye/cmd/`

## Spec — What Was Requested

In `apps/birdseye/cmd/diff.go`:

1. Add `KnownModulesFile string` field to `diffOpts`.
2. Register hidden flag `--known-modules-file` in `newDiffCmd`:
   ```go
   c.Flags().StringVar(&o.KnownModulesFile, "known-modules-file", "", "...")
   _ = c.Flags().MarkHidden("known-modules-file")
   ```
3. Add helper `resolveKnownPath(override string) string` returning `override` if non-empty, else `known.Path()`, with empty string fallback on error.
4. In `runDiff`, AFTER the textual+semantic diff is built but BEFORE the JSON/TUI/plain render dispatch, call:
   ```go
   if err := known.Add(resolveKnownPath(o.KnownModulesFile),
       id.Namespace+"/"+id.Name+"/"+id.Provider); err != nil {
       _ = err
   }
   ```
5. Add `internal/known` import.

In `apps/birdseye/cmd/diff_test.go`:
- `TestDiffAddsToKnownAfterSuccess` — happy path, asserts file contains "iac/comply/aws"
- `TestDiffDoesNotAddOnFailure` — 404 fakeCrow, asserts file does NOT exist

Commit message exact: `feat(birdseye): cache module address after successful CLI diff`.

## Quality Focus

- Add is positioned correctly: a failed extract/fetch must NOT add; a failed render still adds (the diff conceptually succeeded).
- `resolveKnownPath` doesn't leak: if `known.Path()` fails AND override is empty, the function returns "". The caller passes "" to `known.Add(...)`. **Verify this empty-path edge case doesn't leak a temp file in CWD** — read `internal/known/known.go` Add() and trace what happens when path="".
- Add error swallow is consistent with `internal/registry/registry.go`'s `_ = err` pattern.
- Hidden flag is correctly excluded from `--help`.

If the empty-path edge case is buggy (temp file leak in CWD when `os.UserConfigDir()` fails AND no override), flag it as Important. The fix would be early-return in `known.Add`/`known.Load` when path is empty.

## Report Format

- mind:memory: Claude Mind - Search and manage Claude's persistent memory stored in a single portable .mv2 file
- mind:mind: Claude Mind - Search and manage Claude's persistent memory stored in a single portable .mv2 file
- update-config: Use this skill to configure the Claude Code harness via settings.json. Automated behaviors ("from now on when X", "each time X", "whenever X", "before/after X") require hooks configured in settings.json - the harness executes these, not Claude, so memory/preferences cannot fulfill them. Also use for: permissions ("allow X", "add permission", "move permission to"), env vars ("set X=Y"), hook troubleshooting, or any changes to settings.json/settings.local.json files. Examples: "allow npm commands", "add bq permission to global settings", "move permission to user settings", "set DEBUG=true", "when claude stops show X". For simple settings like theme/model, suggest the /config command.
- keybindings-help: Use when the user wants to customize keyboard shortcuts, rebind keys, add chord bindings, or modify ~/.claude/keybindings.json. Examples: "rebind ctrl+s", "add a chord shortcut", "change the submit key", "customize keybindings".
- simplify: Review changed code for reuse, quality, and efficiency, then fix any issues found.
- fewer-permission-prompts: Scan your transcripts for common read-only Bash and MCP tool calls, then add a prioritized allowlist to project .claude/settings.json to reduce permission prompts.
- loop: Run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. /loop 5m /foo). Omit the interval to let the model self-pace. - When the user wants to set up a recurring task, poll for status, or run something repeatedly on an interval (e.g. "check the deploy every 5 minutes", "keep running /babysit-prs"). Do NOT invoke for one-off tasks.
- schedule: Create, update, list, or run scheduled remote agents (routines) that execute on a cron schedule. - When the user wants to schedule a recurring remote agent, set up automated tasks, create a cron job for Claude Code, or manage their scheduled agents/routines. Also use when the user wants a one-time scheduled run ("run this once at 3pm", "remind me to check X tomorrow").
- claude-api: Build, debug, and optimize Claude API / Anthropic SDK apps. Apps built with this skill should include prompt caching. Also handles migrating existing Claude API code between Claude model versions (4.5 → 4.6, 4.6 → 4.7, retired-model replacements).
TRIGGER when: code imports `anthropic`/`@anthropic-ai/sdk`; user asks for the Claude API, Anthropic SDK, or Managed Agents; user adds/modifies/tunes a Claude feature (caching, thinking, compaction, tool use, batch, files, citations, memory) or model (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku) in a file; questions about prompt caching / cache hit rate in an Anthropic SDK project.
SKIP: file imports `openai`/other-provider SDK, filename like `*-openai.py`/`*-generic.py`, provider-neutral code, general programming/ML.
- init: Initialize a new CLAUDE.md file with codebase documentation
- review: Review a pull request
- security-review: Complete a security review of the pending changes on the current branch

Now I have everything needed. Let me trace the empty-path edge case in `Add`:

When `path = ""`:
- `filepath.Dir("")` returns `"."` (current working directory)
- `os.MkdirAll(".", 0o755)` — no-op, succeeds
- `Load("")` — `os.Open("")` fails with a non-`IsNotExist` error → `Load` returns an error → `Add` returns that error immediately

So `Add("", ...)` returns an error before creating any temp file. The error is then swallowed by `_ = err`. No temp file leak.

---

**Spec: ✅**

All five spec items are implemented exactly as described:

1. `KnownModulesFile string` field added to `diffOpts` ✅
2. Hidden flag registered with `MarkHidden` ✅
3. `resolveKnownPath(override string) string` implemented correctly ✅
4. `known.Add(...)` called after diff build, before render dispatch ✅
5. `internal/known` import added ✅

Both test cases present and match spec intent ✅

---

**Quality:**

**Strengths:**
- Placement of `known.Add` is exactly right — after `sem` semantic build succeeds, before the render branch. A failed fetch/extract returns early before this line; a failed render does not block the cache write.
- Empty-path edge case is safe. `Add("")` hits `os.Open("")` in `Load`, which returns a non-`IsNotExist` error, causing `Load` and therefore `Add` to return early — no temp file is created, no CWD pollution.
- `_ = err` swallow is consistent with the codebase pattern and the comment accurately explains intent.
- `resolveKnownPath` is clean, single-responsibility, and correctly falls back without panicking.
- `TestDiffDoesNotAddOnFailure` correctly uses `os.IsNotExist` rather than just checking the error from `Stat`, which is the right idiom.
- The hidden flag comment in the struct field `// test override for known-modules cache path` is appropriately honest about its purpose.

**Issues:**
- None. The empty-path edge case (the primary concern) does NOT leak a temp file — `os.Open("")` fails with an error that is not `IsNotExist`, so `Load` returns that error, and `Add` returns before reaching `CreateTemp`.
- The `_ = tmp.Close()` + `_ = os.Remove(tmpName)` cleanup pattern in `known.Add` on write failure is thorough. No resource leaks on the happy or error paths.

**Assessment:** Clean implementation. Spec-complete, no bugs, no edge-case leaks. The quality concern flagged in the spec brief is a non-issue given how `os.Open("")` behaves on POSIX systems.
