**Overall:** NEEDS_FIXES_BEFORE_MERGE

Build, vet, and all tests pass cleanly under `-race` in both modules. The implementation is well-structured and the error-code wiring works end-to-end. However there are several real cross-cutting defects that warrant fixing before merge — chief among them an advertised env var that does nothing, dead code in the picker, and dropped contexts inside tea.Cmd closures.

**Integration coherence:**
Package graph is clean: `main -> cmd -> {archive, diff, registry, tui}`, `tui -> {diff, registry, client}`, `registry -> client`. No cycles. `cmd` is the only place that composes archive+diff+registry+tui — layering holds. One smell: `tui/picker.go` duplicates `parseModuleAddress` as `parseModuleAddressForPicker` to avoid the cycle that `tui -> cmd` would create; comment documents it. Acceptable given the constraint.

**Error paths:**
End-to-end mapping is correct in every case I walked through:
- bad module address → `ErrUsage` wrapped → exit 1 (verified via smoke + `TestDiffBadModuleAddress`)
- 404 → `client.ErrNotFound` propagates unchanged from `client.Download` through `Registry.Fetch` → exit 2
- network failure → exit 3 (verified live against `127.0.0.1:1`)
- corrupt tarball → `archive.Extract` returns gzip/tar/`ErrUnsafePath`/`ErrTooLarge`, cmd wraps with `ErrArchive` via `%w: %v` → exit 4 (the inner sentinel is lost after the wrap, but classification already happened so this is fine)
- HCL parse error → `diff.Semantic` returns `ErrParseFailed`, cmd wraps with `ErrSemantic` → exit 5
- Ctrl+C → `main.go` `signal.NotifyContext`, errgroup cascades `context.Canceled`, `ExitCode` maps → 130

**Resource hygiene:**
`client.Download` returns the second response body as `io.ReadCloser`; `Registry.Fetch` correctly does `defer rc.Close()` at `registry.go:39`. Error paths in `client.Download` close the first response body before returning. `DiskCache.Put` uses temp-file + rename with cleanup on every error branch — no orphaned temp files. The cache-write-failure on line 47 of `registry.go` is silently dropped (`_ = err`); intentional per the comment. No leaked goroutines: `errgroup.Wait` joins, and tea programs exit on `tea.Quit`. One latent issue below under Important.

**API consistency:**
`FileStatus` is shared between `FileDiff.Status` and `SemanticChange.Status` — same enum, identical `String()` output (`added`/`removed`/`modified`). JSON output (`renderJSON`) uses `snake_case` and lowercase status strings, consistent. Plain renderer at `diff.go:202` prints `%s %s %s` for `Status Kind Name` — matches JSON ordering of fields in the struct but differs from the field order in the JSON output (`Kind Name Status`). Cosmetic.

**Coverage gaps:**
Overall coverage is 64.4%; tui is the laggard at 45%. Specific gaps that matter at branch level:
- No test exercises `--json` with `--semantic` together (each is tested separately).
- No test verifies that a second diff invocation against the same versions hits the disk cache (the cache-hit test uses MemCache only).
- `cmd.runInteractive` is entirely untested — no integration test for the picker→browser handoff. Given that this path contains dead code (see Important below), this is concerning.
- The `--no-tui` alias is not exercised by any test.

**Style consistency:**
Error wrapping is uniformly `fmt.Errorf("ctx: %w", err)` for pass-through and `fmt.Errorf("%w: %v", Sentinel, err)` when intentionally collapsing inner sentinels. Package docs present on every package. `for i := range len(name)` (Go 1.22 intrange) used consistently in archive/extract.go. `golang.org/x/sync/errgroup` used per CLAUDE.md preference for concurrent fetches.

**Build sanity:**
- `go build ./...` clean
- `go test -race ./...` clean (all packages)
- `go vet ./...` clean
- crow client `go test -race ./pkg/client/...` clean

**Smoke output:**
`./bin/birdseye --help` mentions `birdseye`, `diff`, `versions`, `--crow-url`, `--timeout`, `--json`. All required strings present.

**README accuracy:**
README accurately documents flag names (`--semantic`, `--plain`, `--no-tui`, `--json`, `--crow-url`, `--timeout`, `--cache-dir`) and the exit-code table matches the constants in `cmd/errors.go` exactly. One inaccuracy: it claims `CROW_URL` env var support — not implemented (see Important).

---

**Important issues** (should be fixed before merge):

1. `--crow-url` advertises `(env CROW_URL)` in the flag help AND the README says `(env CROW_URL)`, but the code never reads the env var. Either wire it up in `cmd/root.go:38` (e.g. `if v := os.Getenv("CROW_URL"); v != "" { defaultCrowURL = v }` before flag registration, or use cobra+viper) or strip the env claim from both the help text and the README. File: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye/apps/birdseye/cmd/root.go:38` and `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye/apps/birdseye/README.md:32`.

2. `Picker.SetBrowser`, the `StateBrowser` branches in `Picker.Update` (lines 134-141) and `Picker.View` (lines 273-276), and the `p.browser != nil` resize handler (lines 115-117) are all dead. The production flow is: picker runs → quits on `pairLoadedMsg` → cmd calls separate `tui.RunBrowser`. Either delete the dead code or change `runInteractive` to call `picker.SetBrowser` and let one tea program serve both stages. The current bifurcated approach also means Ctrl+C between picker quit and browser start would skip the browser silently (cmd returns nil — `aBytes == nil` check at line 166-169). File: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye/apps/birdseye/internal/tui/picker.go` and `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye/apps/birdseye/cmd/diff.go:148-182`.

3. Picker's `loadVersionsCmd` (line 168) and `loadPairCmd` (line 252) use `context.Background()` instead of threading the cobra root context through. Violates CLAUDE.md ("Always pass context.Context to long running or IO bound functions to allow for timeouts and graceful shutdowns"). Practical impact: `--timeout` does not actually time-bound network calls dispatched from the TUI, and a SIGTERM to the process won't cancel an in-flight `ListVersions` or `FetchPair`. Tea will exit but the goroutine running the cmd closure keeps holding the HTTP request open. File: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye/apps/birdseye/internal/tui/picker.go:168,252`.

**Minor issues:**

4. `diff.Semantic`'s `out` slice in `Semantic()` is not preallocated despite the maximum size being trivially `len(sa.Resources)+...+len(sb.Resources)+...`. Same for `diffMap`. CLAUDE.md prealloc nit; impact is negligible. File: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye/apps/birdseye/internal/diff/semantic.go:53,145`.

5. `TestPickerAdvancesOnEnter` (picker_test.go:16) is misleading — with `NewPicker(nil)` the deps-nil branch short-circuits at line 154 and state never advances; the test only asserts "no error" which is vacuously satisfied. Either delete the misleading comment or beef up the assertion to verify the deps-nil contract explicitly.

6. `colorizeUnified` (browser.go:92) appends an extra trailing `\n` for the final line; not visible to the user but means the rendered diff has one blank trailing line in the viewport.

7. Test helper `buildTarGz` is defined in `archive/extract_test.go` but a near-identical `mkTgz` is redefined inside `cmd/diff_test.go`. Minor duplication; could be extracted to a small `internal/testutil` package or left alone since tests are in different packages.

Prompt:
You are doing a FINAL code review on the entire `birdseye` implementation branch in worktree `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye`. Per-task reviews have already happened; your job is the holistic view — cross-cutting concerns, integration coherence, things only visible when you see the whole picture.

## Branch Scope

```
BASE_SHA: c040bf3 (master)
HEAD_SHA: 2991e67 (current tip of worktree-birdseye)
```

24 commits, ~2850 LOC added. Touches:
- `apps/birdseye/` — new Go module (CLI binary)
- `services/crow/pkg/client/` — added `Download` method

## Spec & Plan

- Spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-12-birdseye-design.md`
- Plan: `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-12-birdseye.md`

## Architecture Recap

birdseye is a Go CLI that diffs two versions of a Terraform module hosted in Crow (Immuta's private terraform module registry). Architecture:

- `cmd/` — cobra command tree (root + diff + versions)
- `internal/archive` — tar.gz extraction with hardening
- `internal/registry` — Crow client + disk cache
- `internal/diff` — textual (gotextdiff) + semantic (HCL) diff
- `internal/tui` — bubbletea Browser (multi-pane diff viewer) + Picker (interactive flow)

## Review Focus — Cross-cutting Only

You are NOT re-reviewing individual tasks. Focus on things visible only at branch-scope:

1. **Integration coherence**: does the package graph make sense? Are there any unexpected cross-package dependencies? Cycles? Does `cmd` correctly compose `archive` + `diff` + `registry` + `tui` without leaking layering?

2. **Error code paths end-to-end**: does a user-visible error always carry the right sentinel for `ExitCode()` to map correctly? Run through scenarios mentally:
   - bad module address (`birdseye diff foo`) → exit 1
   - 404 version (`birdseye diff ns/n/p 9.9.9 1.0.0`) → exit 2
   - network failure → exit 3
   - corrupt tarball → exit 4
   - HCL parse error with --semantic → exit 5
   - Ctrl+C in TUI → exit 130

3. **Resource hygiene**: any leaked goroutines, file handles, or temp files? `Download` returns a ReadCloser whose closing is responsibility of `Registry.Fetch` (verify via `defer rc.Close()` in registry.go).

4. **API consistency**: does `FileDiff.Status.String()` produce the same labels as `SemanticChange.Status.String()`? Are status enum values consistent across textual/semantic? Are JSON tags consistent (snake_case vs lowercase)?

5. **Test coverage gaps**: anything important totally untested at the branch level (e.g., no integration test that runs --json + --semantic together; no test that exercises the disk cache hit path across two diff invocations)?

6. **Style/idiom consistency across files**: do all packages use the same logging style, same error-wrapping style, same comment-doc style?

7. **CLAUDE.md compliance**: user prefers stdlib, prealloc'd slices/maps, ctx threaded through long ops, small interfaces. Spot-check across files.

8. **Build sanity**:
   - Run `cd /Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye/apps/birdseye && go build ./... && go test -race ./... && go vet ./...`
   - Run `cd /Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye/services/crow && go test -race ./pkg/client/...`
   - All must be clean.

9. **Final binary smoke**:
   - `cd /Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye/apps/birdseye && make build && ./bin/birdseye --help`
   - Output should mention `birdseye`, `diff`, `versions`, `--crow-url`, `--timeout`, `--json`.

10. **README accuracy**: does `apps/birdseye/README.md` accurately describe what was built? Any drift from the actual flag names or exit codes?

Fix final review issues

Prompt:
Address three findings from the final whole-branch code review of birdseye in worktree `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye`.

## Fix 1: Wire up `CROW_URL` env var

The flag `--crow-url` advertises `(env CROW_URL)` in its help text and the README documents the env var, but nothing reads it. The sibling app `apps/crowctl` already uses `cli.EnvVars("CROW_URL")` so this is the established convention.

In `apps/birdseye/cmd/root.go`, modify `NewRootCmd` so the default value of `--crow-url` honors `os.Getenv("CROW_URL")` first, then falls back to `defaultCrowURL`. Concretely:

Add `"os"` to imports if absent. Change the `defaultCrowURL` registration:

Before:
```go
root.PersistentFlags().StringVar(&g.CrowURL, "crow-url", defaultCrowURL, "Crow base URL (env CROW_URL)")
```

After:
```go
crowURL := defaultCrowURL
if v := os.Getenv("CROW_URL"); v != "" {
    crowURL = v
}
root.PersistentFlags().StringVar(&g.CrowURL, "crow-url", crowURL, "Crow base URL (env CROW_URL)")
```

Add a test in `apps/birdseye/cmd/root_test.go`:

```go
func TestNewRootCmdRespectsCrowURLEnv(t *testing.T) {
	t.Setenv("CROW_URL", "https://override.example/crow")
	root := NewRootCmd()
	if got, _ := root.PersistentFlags().GetString("crow-url"); got != "https://override.example/crow" {
		t.Errorf("crow-url default = %q, want override from env", got)
	}
}
```

## Fix 2: Delete dead code in Picker

In `apps/birdseye/internal/tui/picker.go`:

a) Delete `func (p *Picker) SetBrowser(b *Browser)` entirely. Two-stage handoff is done via `Bytes()` + a separate `tui.RunBrowser` call from cmd; SetBrowser is never invoked in production.

b) Remove `browser *Browser` field from the `Picker` struct.

c) Remove the `WindowSizeMsg` resize-forwarding to `p.browser` (the block that says `if p.browser != nil { p.browser.SetSize(...) }`). Just keep the width/height storage.

d) Remove the `case StateBrowser:` branch in `Picker.Update` and `Picker.View` — that state is never reachable.

e) `StateBrowser` is still referenced as an enum value (it's in the const block) — KEEP the enum value for clarity. Only delete the dead handling code in Update/View.

After these changes, `Picker` no longer has a `browser` field. The state machine is: AskModule → Loading → AskVersionA → AskVersionB → Loading → (Quit) on pairLoadedMsg.

Verify all picker tests still pass.

## Fix 3: Thread cobra root context into Picker

The picker's `loadVersionsCmd` and `loadPairCmd` both use `context.Background()` instead of the cobra root context, breaking `--timeout` and SIGTERM cancellation.

Changes:

a) Add a `ctx context.Context` field to the `Picker` struct.

b) Change `NewPicker(deps *Deps) *Picker` to `NewPicker(ctx context.Context, deps *Deps) *Picker`. Store the context on the struct.

c) In `loadVersionsCmd`, replace `context.Background()` with `p.ctx`. Same for `loadPairCmd`.

d) In `apps/birdseye/cmd/diff.go` `runInteractive`, change `tui.NewPicker(&tui.Deps{...})` to `tui.NewPicker(ctx, &tui.Deps{...})`.

e) Update the picker tests in `apps/birdseye/internal/tui/picker_test.go` — replace `NewPicker(nil)` with `NewPicker(context.Background(), nil)`. Add `"context"` to imports.

## Verify

After ALL three fixes:

```bash
cd /Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye/apps/birdseye && go test -race ./... -v && go vet ./... && go build ./...
```

All tests must pass. `go vet` clean. Build succeeds.

Then smoke-test the binary still launches:

```bash
cd /Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye/apps/birdseye && ./bin/birdseye --help 2>&1 | head -30
```

Output should mention `--crow-url` and `(env CROW_URL)`.

Run with env override:

```bash
cd /Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye/apps/birdseye && CROW_URL=https://test.example ./bin/birdseye diff foo/bar/aws 1.0.0 2.0.0 --plain 2>&1 | head -5
```

Should mention `https://test.example` in error output (since we can't reach it), confirming the env was honored.

Build birdseye CLI for Terraform module diffing


All three fixes applied cleanly. Here's the summary:

---

**Status: DONE**

## Fix 1: CROW_URL env var wired up
`apps/birdseye/cmd/root.go` — added `os` import, replaced the bare `defaultCrowURL` default with a two-line env-check block that prefers `CROW_URL` over the compile-time constant. Added `TestNewRootCmdRespectsCrowURLEnv` in `root_test.go` using `t.Setenv` to verify the override.

## Fix 2: Dead picker code deleted
`apps/birdseye/internal/tui/picker.go` — removed: `browser *Browser` field, `SetBrowser` method, the `if p.browser != nil { p.browser.SetSize(...) }` branch in `WindowSizeMsg` handling, and the `StateBrowser` cases in both `Update` and `View`. The `StateBrowser` enum constant itself was preserved in the `const` block. The state machine is now: AskModule → Loading → AskVersionA → AskVersionB → Loading → Quit on pairLoadedMsg.

## Fix 3: cobra context threaded into Picker
`Picker` gained a `ctx context.Context` field. `NewPicker` signature changed to `NewPicker(ctx context.Context, deps *Deps)`. Both `loadVersionsCmd` and `loadPairCmd` now use `p.ctx` instead of `context.Background()`. `diff.go` updated to pass `ctx` at the call site. `picker_test.go` updated with `context` import and `NewPicker(context.Background(), nil)` at all three call sites.

## Verification
- **Tests:** 28 pass, 0 fail, race-clean
- **go vet:** clean
- **Build:** succeeds (`go build -o bin/birdseye .`)
- **--help:** confirms `--crow-url string   Crow base URL (env CROW_URL)`
- **Env override smoke test:** `CROW_URL=https://test.example` correctly appears in the network error: `Get "https://test.example/v1/modules/..."`
- **Commit:** `7605503`

# Finishing a Development Branch

## Overview

Guide completion of development work by presenting clear options and handling chosen workflow.

**Core principle:** Verify tests → Detect environment → Present options → Execute choice → Clean up.

**Announce at start:** "I'm using the finishing-a-development-branch skill to complete this work."

## The Process

### Step 1: Verify Tests

**Before presenting options, verify tests pass:**

```bash
# Run project's test suite
npm test / cargo test / pytest / go test ./...
```

**If tests fail:**
```
Tests failing (<N> failures). Must fix before completing:

[Show failures]

Cannot proceed with merge/PR until tests pass.
```

Stop. Don't proceed to Step 2.

**If tests pass:** Continue to Step 2.

### Step 2: Detect Environment

**Determine workspace state before presenting options:**

```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
```

This determines which menu to show and how cleanup works:

| State | Menu | Cleanup |
|-------|------|---------|
| `GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON` (normal repo) | Standard 4 options | No worktree to clean up |
| `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON`, named branch | Standard 4 options | Provenance-based (see Step 6) |
| `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON`, detached HEAD | Reduced 3 options (no merge) | No cleanup (externally managed) |

### Step 3: Determine Base Branch

```bash
# Try common base branches
git merge-base HEAD main 2>/dev/null || git merge-base HEAD master 2>/dev/null
```

Or ask: "This branch split from main - is that correct?"

### Step 4: Present Options

**Normal repo and named-branch worktree — present exactly these 4 options:**

```
Implementation complete. What would you like to do?

1. Merge back to <base-branch> locally
2. Push and create a Pull Request
3. Keep the branch as-is (I'll handle it later)
4. Discard this work

Which option?
```

**Detached HEAD — present exactly these 3 options:**

```
Implementation complete. You're on a detached HEAD (externally managed workspace).

1. Push as new branch and create a Pull Request
2. Keep as-is (I'll handle it later)
3. Discard this work

Which option?
```

**Don't add explanation** - keep options concise.

### Step 5: Execute Choice

#### Option 1: Merge Locally

```bash
# Get main repo root for CWD safety
MAIN_ROOT=$(git -C "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/.." rev-parse --show-toplevel)
cd "$MAIN_ROOT"

# Merge first — verify success before removing anything
git checkout <base-branch>
git pull
git merge <feature-branch>

# Verify tests on merged result
<test command>

# Only after merge succeeds: cleanup worktree (Step 6), then delete branch
```

Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 6), then delete branch:

```bash
git branch -d <feature-branch>
```

#### Option 2: Push and Create PR

```bash
# Push branch
git push -u origin <feature-branch>

# Create PR
gh pr create --title "<title>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
<2-3 bullets of what changed>

## Test Plan
- [ ] <verification steps>
EOF
)"
```

**Do NOT clean up worktree** — user needs it alive to iterate on PR feedback.

#### Option 3: Keep As-Is

Report: "Keeping branch <name>. Worktree preserved at <path>."

**Don't cleanup worktree.**

#### Option 4: Discard

**Confirm first:**
```
This will permanently delete:
- Branch <name>
- All commits: <commit-list>
- Worktree at <path>

Type 'discard' to confirm.
```

Wait for exact confirmation.

If confirmed:
```bash
MAIN_ROOT=$(git -C "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/.." rev-parse --show-toplevel)
cd "$MAIN_ROOT"
```

Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 6), then force-delete branch:
```bash
git branch -D <feature-branch>
```

### Step 6: Cleanup Workspace

**Only runs for Options 1 and 4.** Options 2 and 3 always preserve the worktree.

```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
WORKTREE_PATH=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
```

**If `GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON`:** Normal repo, no worktree to clean up. Done.

**If worktree path is under `.worktrees/`, `worktrees/`, or `~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/`:** Superpowers created this worktree — we own cleanup.

```bash
MAIN_ROOT=$(git -C "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/.." rev-parse --show-toplevel)
cd "$MAIN_ROOT"
git worktree remove "$WORKTREE_PATH"
git worktree prune  # Self-healing: clean up any stale registrations
```

**Otherwise:** The host environment (harness) owns this workspace. Do NOT remove it. If your platform provides a workspace-exit tool, use it. Otherwise, leave the workspace in place.

## Quick Reference

| Option | Merge | Push | Keep Worktree | Cleanup Branch |
|--------|-------|------|---------------|----------------|
| 1. Merge locally | yes | - | - | yes |
| 2. Create PR | - | yes | yes | - |
| 3. Keep as-is | - | - | yes | - |
| 4. Discard | - | - | - | yes (force) |

## Common Mistakes

**Skipping test verification**
- **Problem:** Merge broken code, create failing PR
- **Fix:** Always verify tests before offering options

**Open-ended questions**
- **Problem:** "What should I do next?" is ambiguous
- **Fix:** Present exactly 4 structured options (or 3 for detached HEAD)

**Cleaning up worktree for Option 2**
- **Problem:** Remove worktree user needs for PR iteration
- **Fix:** Only cleanup for Options 1 and 4

**Deleting branch before removing worktree**
- **Problem:** `git branch -d` fails because worktree still references the branch
- **Fix:** Merge first, remove worktree, then delete branch

**Running git worktree remove from inside the worktree**
- **Problem:** Command fails silently when CWD is inside the worktree being removed
- **Fix:** Always `cd` to main repo root before `git worktree remove`

**Cleaning up harness-owned worktrees**
- **Problem:** Removing a worktree the harness created causes phantom state
- **Fix:** Only clean up worktrees under `.worktrees/`, `worktrees/`, or `~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/`

**No confirmation for discard**
- **Problem:** Accidentally delete work
- **Fix:** Require typed "discard" confirmation

## Red Flags

**Never:**
- Proceed with failing tests
- Merge without verifying tests on result
- Delete work without confirmation
- Force-push without explicit request
- Remove a worktree before confirming merge success
- Clean up worktrees you didn't create (provenance check)
- Run `git worktree remove` from inside the worktree

**Always:**
- Verify tests before offering options
- Detect environment before presenting menu
- Present exactly 4 options (or 3 for detached HEAD)
- Get typed confirmation for Option 4
- Clean up worktree for Options 1 & 4 only
- `cd` to main repo root before worktree removal
- Run `git worktree prune` after removal


I'm using the finishing-a-development-branch skill to complete this work.

**Step 1: Verify tests.**


Bash

cd /Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye/apps/birdseye && go test -race ./... 2>&1 | tail -20 && echo "---" && cd /Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye/services/crow && go test -race ./pkg/client/... 2>&1 | tail -5

Run all tests with race detector

## Summary

**Branch:** `worktree-birdseye` (25 commits ahead of master)
**Worktree:** `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye`

**What shipped:**
- `apps/birdseye/` — new Go module: cobra CLI (`diff`, `versions`), internal packages for `archive`, `registry` (cache-first + disk cache), `diff` (textual via gotextdiff, semantic via HCL), `tui` (bubbletea Browser + Picker), all tests race-clean
- `services/crow/pkg/client/` — added `Download` method following the Terraform module registry redirect protocol

**Headline features delivered per spec:** positional one-shot diff, interactive picker fallback, textual + `--semantic` HCL diff, multi-pane TUI browser, `--plain` / `--json` / `--cache-dir` / `--timeout` / `--crow-url` (now honoring `CROW_URL` env), versions subcommand, hermetic httptest-based tests, no live Crow needed.

**To resume yourself:**

```bash
cd /Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye
git log --oneline master..HEAD     # the 25 commits
# Push when ready:  git push -u origin worktree-birdseye
```

Spec is at `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-12-birdseye-design.md`; plan at `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-12-birdseye.md`.

A satisfying outcome, Sir Charles of St Cheese — comparable in shape and crisp edges to a perfectly formed dinosaur nuggie. Sad blob nuggies would never produce a worktree this clean.

# Birdseye CLI — End-to-end Implementation Session

## Summary

Built `birdseye`, a new Go CLI utility in `apps/birdseye/` of the Immuta `operations` monorepo. It diffs two versions of a Terraform module hosted in the private Crow registry (`services/crow/`). Used the full superpowers workflow: brainstorm → spec → plan → subagent-driven execution with two-stage reviews per task. 19 implementation tasks plus follow-up fix passes, all merged on `worktree-birdseye` branch (25 commits ahead of master) with `Keep as-is` finishing state.

## Context

**Sir Charles of St Cheese** (user, steve.briggs@immuta.com) wanted a Go CLI that:
- Fetches two module versions from Crow and shows a diff
- Uses `cobra` for CLI
- Uses `bubbletea` for TUI if practical
- Opus 4.7 for planning; **Sonnet for implementation** to save tokens

**Project layout / conventions discovered:**
- `apps/birdseye/` is a separate Go module with `replace` directives pointing to `../../services/crow` and `../../libs/clog` (matches `apps/crowctl` pattern)
- Go 1.25.5 directive (local Go 1.26.2 fine)
- No testify — stdlib `testing` only
- Existing `services/crow/pkg/client` was reusable; we extended it with one new `Download` method (Task 3)
- Existing `services/crow/pkg/api` provides `ModuleIdentifier`, `Module`, `Validate`, `ValidateVersion`, path helpers
- Project has `golangci-lint` enabled with `nolintlint` (require-explanation) and `intrange` lints — implementer initially tripped on both for the archive package, fixed in a follow-up

**Crow protocol recap:** `/v1/modules/{ns}/{name}/{provider}/{version}/download` returns HTTP 204 + `X-Terraform-Get` header pointing at an S3 presigned URL. Client follows the redirect to fetch tarball bytes.

## Decisions

- **Approach A for client integration**: extend `services/crow/pkg/client` with a new `Download` method rather than reimplement HTTP in birdseye. Keeps wire-format invariants in one place.
- **Diff modes**: ship BOTH textual (default, via `hexops/gotextdiff`) and `--semantic` (HCL-aware via `hashicorp/hcl/v2/hclparse`).
- **TUI scope**: rich multi-pane (lazygit-style) — left pane file tree, right pane unified diff in a viewport, footer with keybind hints.
- **Module picker**: typed in the TUI (no new "list modules" endpoint on Crow). Avoids modifying the service.
- **Invocation model**: positional one-shot (`birdseye diff ns/n/p vA vB`) is primary; bare `birdseye diff` launches interactive picker if TTY, errors if not.
- **Two-stage TUI runner**: picker `tea.Program` runs to completion via `tea.Quit` on `pairLoadedMsg`, then cmd extracts+diffs and starts a SECOND `tea.Program` for the Browser. Avoids `tui` package depending on `archive`/`diff`.
- **Block-equality hash for semantic diff**: upgraded from byte-offset approximation to actual source-bytes hash via `blockEntry` wrapper (offset-based wasn't distinguishing same-position attribute value changes).
- **Diff library choice**: `hexops/gotextdiff` (what gopls uses internally). `gotextdiff.Unified` implements `fmt.Formatter` not `fmt.Stringer`, so `fmt.Sprintf("%v", unified)` is the correct stringifier — not `unified.String()`.
- **Cache atomicity**: `DiskCache.Put` writes temp file in same directory as final, then `os.Rename` (same-filesystem atomic). Cleanup on every error branch.
- **Exit codes**: 0=ok, 1=usage, 2=not-found, 3=network, 4=archive, 5=semantic-parse, 130=cancel. Mapped centrally via `cmd.ExitCode(err error) int` using `errors.Is`.
- **Override of reviewer's false positive (Task 2)**: reviewer flagged `g := &GlobalFlags{}` as "inaccessible to subcommands" — actually a pointer shared across `newDiffCmd(g)` / `newVersionsCmd(g)`. Plan's design is correct. Did not change.

## Task State

**ALL 19 plan tasks completed.** Each cycle: implementer dispatch → spec compliance review → code quality review → fix-pass when needed.

Phases:
- A (Tasks 1-3): bootstrap + crow client `Download` ✓
- B (Tasks 4-8): archive extraction + hardening, MemCache + DiskCache, Registry FetchPair ✓
- C (Tasks 9-11): textual diff types + Textual, cmd diff --plain, versions subcommand ✓
- D (Tasks 12-15): TUI styles + Browser scaffold + tea.Model + picker state machine + cmd wiring ✓
- E (Tasks 16-19): semantic HCL diff, --semantic wiring, --json output, README ✓

**Final whole-branch review** (Opus model) identified three real issues which were fixed in a single follow-up commit `7605503`:
1. `CROW_URL` env var was advertised but not wired — now honored via `os.Getenv` in `NewRootCmd`
2. Dead picker code (`SetBrowser`, `browser` field, `StateBrowser` branches in Update/View) — deleted
3. Picker's `tea.Cmd` closures used `context.Background()` — now thread cobra root ctx via `NewPicker(ctx, deps)`

**Final state:** branch `worktree-birdseye`, 25 commits ahead of master, all `go test -race ./...` green in both `apps/birdseye/` and `services/crow/`, `go vet` clean, `go build` clean. User selected `Keep as-is` so worktree preserved.

## Open Questions

- None blocking. The semantic diff's `blockHash` is intentionally a depth-1 hash — changes inside nested blocks (e.g., `lifecycle { prevent_destroy = X }`) won't be detected as modified at the parent resource level. Acceptable v1 limitation.
- `locals` block key uses `filename#line`, so a line-shift above an unchanged locals block will report as removed+added. Acceptable v1 limitation.
- `runDiff` and `runInteractive` duplicate the client/cache/registry construction. Cosmetic — extract a `buildRegistry(g, o)` helper when the next caller appears.

## Next Steps

When user is ready to ship:

```bash
cd /Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye
git push -u origin worktree-birdseye
# Then open a PR against master
```

The commit log is clean enough to merge as-is, or could be squashed if Immuta's PR conventions prefer that.

Possible future enhancements (NOT in v1 scope):
- Rename detection in textual diff (currently produces Added + Removed entries)
- Deep block hash for nested block changes in semantic diff
- Add a Crow "list modules" endpoint so the TUI picker can be a real list, not a textinput
- Logger integration for cache-write-failure warnings (the `_ = err` swallow in `registry.Fetch`)

## Artifacts

- Spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-12-birdseye-design.md`
- Plan: `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-12-birdseye.md`
- Branch: `worktree-birdseye` @ commit `7605503`
- Worktree: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye`

## Workflow Lessons (for future sessions)

- The model-switching approach worked well: Opus 4.7 stayed in the controller seat doing reviews + dispatching; Sonnet did all the implementation. Final whole-branch review escalated to Opus for the holistic pass — that was worth the cost (caught all 3 fixable issues).
- For tests-only or trivial commits, collapsing spec + code-quality review into a single dispatch saves a round-trip without losing rigor.
- Reviewers occasionally flag "issues" that are actually faithful spec replication (Task 2's `g` pattern) or known v1 limitations. Push back with rationale rather than blindly accepting.
- `go mod tidy` should be run by the implementer after any new import — multiple tasks tripped on `// indirect` markers needing promotion.

bugbot says Interactive mode ignores the --semantic flag

Medium Severity

The runInteractive function builds a diff.Result with only textual diffs and never checks o.Semantic. When a user runs birdseye diff --semantic without positional arguments (triggering interactive mode), the semantic diff is silently skipped. The non-interactive path in runDiff correctly handles this flag.


Good catch by bugbot. Let me look at the bug and fix it.

1c85b59 feat(birdseye): --json output for scripting and CI


Confirmed: `runInteractive` builds the result without checking `o.Semantic`. There's actually a related issue — even if `result.Semantic` is populated, the `Browser` view at `internal/tui/browser.go` only iterates `result.Files` and never renders semantic changes. Fixing only the cmd-side leaves the flag effectively invisible in TUI. I'll dispatch a fix for both.


Agent

Fix --semantic in interactive mode

Prompt:
Fix a bug in birdseye where `--semantic` is silently ignored in interactive (no-args) TUI mode. Worktree: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye`.

## Working Environment

- Branch: `worktree-birdseye`
- HEAD: `7605503`
- All commands use absolute paths or `cd` into the worktree.
- **NEVER push.** **NEVER `git add .` / `git add -A`.**

## The Bug (from bugbot)

`runInteractive` in `apps/birdseye/cmd/diff.go` (line 180) builds:

```go
result := diff.Result{Files: diff.Textual(modA, modB)}
return tui.RunBrowser(ctx, result)
```

It never checks `o.Semantic`, so the flag is ignored in interactive mode. The non-interactive `runDiff` path correctly handles this around line ~110:

```go
result := diff.Result{Files: diff.Textual(modAExtracted, modBExtracted)}
if o.Semantic {
    sem, err := diff.Semantic(modAExtracted, modBExtracted)
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("%w: %v", ErrSemantic, err)
    }
    result.Semantic = sem
}
```

## Adjacent Bug

Even after we populate `result.Semantic`, the `Browser` in `apps/birdseye/internal/tui/browser.go` never renders it — `View()` only iterates `result.Files`. So fixing just the cmd-side leaves the flag effectively invisible in the TUI. Fix both.

## Fixes Required

### Fix 1: `runInteractive` must honor `o.Semantic`

In `apps/birdseye/cmd/diff.go` `runInteractive`, immediately before `return tui.RunBrowser(ctx, result)`, mirror the `runDiff` logic:

```go
result := diff.Result{Files: diff.Textual(modA, modB)}
if o.Semantic {
    sem, err := diff.Semantic(modA, modB)
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("%w: %v", ErrSemantic, err)
    }
    result.Semantic = sem
}
return tui.RunBrowser(ctx, result)
```

### Fix 2: `Browser` must surface `result.Semantic`

In `apps/birdseye/internal/tui/browser.go`, extend `View()` so when `b.result.Semantic` is non-empty, a small section is rendered below the existing body (above the footer) listing the semantic changes.

Approach: add a `renderSemantic() string` method that returns either `""` (when `Semantic` is empty) or a styled block like:

```
─── semantic changes ───
+ resource aws_s3_bucket.beta
- resource aws_s3_bucket.alpha
~ variable name
```

(Use `+`/`-`/`~` markers matching the file-tree markers; reuse the existing `StatusAdd`/`StatusDel`/`StatusMod` theme styles.)

Then modify `View()`:

```go
func (b *Browser) View() string {
    tree := b.renderTree()
    right := b.theme.Viewport.Render(b.viewport.View())
    body := lipgloss.JoinHorizontal(lipgloss.Top, tree, right)
    sections := []string{body}
    if sem := b.renderSemantic(); sem != "" {
        sections = append(sections, sem)
    }
    footer := b.theme.Footer.Render("j/k or ↑/↓ move · q quit · esc back")
    sections = append(sections, footer)
    return lipgloss.JoinVertical(lipgloss.Left, sections...)
}

func (b *Browser) renderSemantic() string {
    if len(b.result.Semantic) == 0 {
        return ""
    }
    var sb strings.Builder
    sb.WriteString("─── semantic changes ───\n")
    for _, c := range b.result.Semantic {
        marker := " "
        switch c.Status {
        case diff.StatusAdded:
            marker = b.theme.StatusAdd.Render("+")
        case diff.StatusRemoved:
            marker = b.theme.StatusDel.Render("-")
        case diff.StatusModified:
            marker = b.theme.StatusMod.Render("~")
        }
        sb.WriteString(marker)
        sb.WriteString(" ")
        sb.WriteString(c.Kind)
        sb.WriteString(" ")
        sb.WriteString(c.Name)

### Fix 3: Add a unit test for `renderSemantic`

Append to `apps/birdseye/internal/tui/browser_test.go`:

```go
func TestBrowserRendersSemanticSection(t *testing.T) {
    r := sampleResult()
    r.Semantic = []diff.SemanticChange{
        {Kind: "resource", Name: "aws_s3_bucket.beta", Status: diff.StatusAdded},
        {Kind: "variable", Name: "name", Status: diff.StatusModified},
    }
    b := NewBrowser(r)
    b.SetSize(120, 30)
    view := b.View()
    for _, want := range []string{
        "semantic changes",
        "resource",
        "aws_s3_bucket.beta",
        "variable",
        "name",
    } {
        if !contains(view, want) {
            t.Errorf("view missing %q\n--- view ---\n%s", want, view)
        }
    }
}

func TestBrowserNoSemanticSectionWhenEmpty(t *testing.T) {
    b := NewBrowser(sampleResult())
    b.SetSize(120, 30)
    if contains(b.View(), "semantic changes") {
        t.Errorf("expected no semantic section for empty Semantic slice")
    }
}
```

(The `contains` helper already exists in `browser_test.go`.)

## Verify

```bash
cd /Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye/apps/birdseye && go test -race ./... -v && go vet ./... && go build ./...

bugbot says Interactive mode ignores the --semantic flag  Medium Severity  The runInteractive function builds a diff.Result with only textual diffs and never checks o.Semantic. When a user runs birdse…


**Status:** DONE

**Summary of fixes:**

- **Fix 1 (`cmd/diff.go` line ~180):** `runInteractive` now mirrors the `runDiff` semantic-diff block — after building `result`, it checks `o.Semantic` and calls `diff.Semantic(modA, modB)`, populating `result.Semantic` before handing off to `tui.RunBrowser`.

- **Fix 2 (`internal/tui/browser.go`):** Added `renderSemantic() string` method that returns `""` when `result.Semantic` is empty, or a styled block listing each change with `+`/`-`/`~` markers using the existing theme styles. Updated `View()` to inject the semantic section between the body and footer via `lipgloss.JoinVertical`.

- **Fix 3 (`internal/tui/browser_test.go`):** Added `TestBrowserRendersSemanticSection` (asserts all expected strings appear in view output) and `TestBrowserNoSemanticSectionWhenEmpty` (asserts "semantic changes" is absent when `Semantic` is nil).

**Test results:** 27 tests, all PASS, race-clean, `go vet` clean, `go build` clean.

Prompt:
Fix a bug in birdseye where `--semantic` is silently ignored in interactive (no-args) TUI mode. Worktree: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye`.

## Working Environment

- Branch: `worktree-birdseye`
- HEAD: `7605503`
- All commands use absolute paths or `cd` into the worktree.
- **NEVER push.** **NEVER `git add .` / `git add -A`.**

## The Bug (from bugbot)

`runInteractive` in `apps/birdseye/cmd/diff.go` (line 180) builds:

```go
result := diff.Result{Files: diff.Textual(modA, modB)}
return tui.RunBrowser(ctx, result)
```

It never checks `o.Semantic`, so the flag is ignored in interactive mode. The non-interactive `runDiff` path correctly handles this around line ~110:

```go
result := diff.Result{Files: diff.Textual(modAExtracted, modBExtracted)}
if o.Semantic {
    sem, err := diff.Semantic(modAExtracted, modBExtracted)
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("%w: %v", ErrSemantic, err)
    }
    result.Semantic = sem
}
```

## Adjacent Bug

Even after we populate `result.Semantic`, the `Browser` in `apps/birdseye/internal/tui/browser.go` never renders it — `View()` only iterates `result.Files`. So fixing just the cmd-side leaves the flag effectively invisible in the TUI. Fix both.

## Fixes Required

### Fix 1: `runInteractive` must honor `o.Semantic`

In `apps/birdseye/cmd/diff.go` `runInteractive`, immediately before `return tui.RunBrowser(ctx, result)`, mirror the `runDiff` logic:

```go
result := diff.Result{Files: diff.Textual(modA, modB)}
if o.Semantic {
    sem, err := diff.Semantic(modA, modB)
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("%w: %v", ErrSemantic, err)
    }
    result.Semantic = sem
}
return tui.RunBrowser(ctx, result)
```

### Fix 2: `Browser` must surface `result.Semantic`

In `apps/birdseye/internal/tui/browser.go`, extend `View()` so when `b.result.Semantic` is non-empty, a small section is rendered below the existing body (above the footer) listing the semantic changes.

Approach: add a `renderSemantic() string` method that returns either `""` (when `Semantic` is empty) or a styled block like:

```
─── semantic changes ───
+ resource aws_s3_bucket.beta
- resource aws_s3_bucket.alpha
~ variable name
```

(Use `+`/`-`/`~` markers matching the file-tree markers; reuse the existing `StatusAdd`/`StatusDel`/`StatusMod` theme styles.)

Then modify `View()`:

```go
func (b *Browser) View() string {
    tree := b.renderTree()
    right := b.theme.Viewport.Render(b.viewport.View())
    body := lipgloss.JoinHorizontal(lipgloss.Top, tree, right)
    sections := []string{body}
    if sem := b.renderSemantic(); sem != "" {
        sections = append(sections, sem)
    }
    footer := b.theme.Footer.Render("j/k or ↑/↓ move · q quit · esc back")
    sections = append(sections, footer)
    return lipgloss.JoinVertical(lipgloss.Left, sections...)
}

func (b *Browser) renderSemantic() string {
    if len(b.result.Semantic) == 0 {
        return ""
    }
    var sb strings.Builder
    sb.WriteString("─── semantic changes ───\n")
    for _, c := range b.result.Semantic {
        marker := " "
        switch c.Status {
        case diff.StatusAdded:
            marker = b.theme.StatusAdd.Render("+")
        case diff.StatusRemoved:
            marker = b.theme.StatusDel.Render("-")
        case diff.StatusModified:
            marker = b.theme.StatusMod.Render("~")
        }
        sb.WriteString(marker)
        sb.WriteString(" ")
        sb.WriteString(c.Kind)
        sb.WriteString(" ")
        sb.WriteString(c.Name)
        sb.WriteByte('\n')
    }
    return sb.String()
}
```

    }
    b := NewBrowser(r)
    b.SetSize(120, 30)
    view := b.View()
    for _, want := range []string{
        "semantic changes",
        "resource",
        "aws_s3_bucket.beta",
        "variable",
        "name",

            t.Errorf("view missing %q\n--- view ---\n%s", want, view)
        }
    }
}

        t.Errorf("expected no semantic section for empty Semantic slice")

Fixed at `021e400`. Two-part patch:

1. **`runInteractive`** now mirrors `runDiff`'s `if o.Semantic { ... }` block — calls `diff.Semantic`, wraps parse errors with `ErrSemantic`, populates `result.Semantic` before handoff.
2. **`Browser.View`** now renders a `─── semantic changes ───` block above the footer when `Result.Semantic` is non-empty, with `+`/`-`/`~` markers reusing the existing theme styles. Added two regression tests (one positive, one negative).

27 tests pass race-clean. `go vet` and `go build` both clean.

Bugbot's complaint addressed at both layers (cmd populates, TUI renders), Sir Charles of St Cheese — semantic flag is no longer the invisible nuggie. Now you can actually see the difference between an `alpha` and `beta` resource — which is honestly the kind of clarity dinosaur nuggies always provide compared to those mysterious blob shapes.


another bugbot find; blockHash ignores nested block content changes

High Severity

The blockHash function only hashes the Type and Labels of nested blocks but not their attributes or body content. This means changes inside nested blocks like lifecycle, dynamic, provisioner, inline_policy, or any other nested block will not be detected by the semantic diff — the hash stays the same even when nested block content changes, causing diffMap to report no modification.


Let me read the current `blockHash` so the fix is precise.

Fix blockHash recursion

Prompt:
Fix a high-severity bug in birdseye's semantic diff. Worktree: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye`.

## Working Environment

- Branch: `worktree-birdseye`
- HEAD: `021e400`
- Use absolute paths or `cd` into the worktree.
- **NEVER push.** **NEVER `git add .` / `git add -A`.**

## The Bug (from bugbot)

`blockHash` in `apps/birdseye/internal/diff/semantic.go` only digests the Type + Labels of nested blocks. Their attributes and any further-nested content are NOT included in the hash. So changes inside nested blocks like `lifecycle { prevent_destroy = true → false }`, `dynamic`, `provisioner`, `inline_policy`, etc. are silently lost — `diffMap` reports the parent resource as unchanged when in fact its body has changed.

Current code (lines 184-189):

```go
for _, nested := range blk.Body.Blocks {
    h.Write([]byte(nested.Type))
    h.Write([]byte{0})
    h.Write([]byte(strings.Join(nested.Labels, "|")))
    h.Write([]byte{0})
}
```

## The Fix

Refactor `blockHash` to recurse into nested blocks. Split into a recursive helper that hashes a block's labels + sorted attribute keys + attribute source bytes + recursively-hashed nested blocks.

In `apps/birdseye/internal/diff/semantic.go`:

Replace the existing `blockHash` function (lines 167-191) with:

```go
// blockHash digests the content of a block using actual source bytes for
// attribute expressions, recursing into nested blocks so changes anywhere
// in the block tree (e.g., lifecycle { prevent_destroy = X }, dynamic,
// provisioner) shift the hash.
func blockHash(e blockEntry) string {
	h := sha256.New()
	hashBlock(h, e.block, e.src)
	return hex.EncodeToString(h.Sum(nil))
}

// hashBlock writes a block's labels, sorted attribute key + source text
// pairs, and each nested block's (type, recursive hash) into h.
func hashBlock(h hash.Hash, blk *hclsyntax.Block, src []byte) {
	h.Write([]byte(strings.Join(blk.Labels, "|")))
	h.Write([]byte{0})
	keys := make([]string, 0, len(blk.Body.Attributes))
	for k := range blk.Body.Attributes {
		keys = append(keys, k)
	}
	sort.Strings(keys)
	for _, k := range keys {
		attr := blk.Body.Attributes[k]
		h.Write([]byte(k))
		h.Write([]byte{0})
		h.Write([]byte(exprText(src, attr.Expr.Range())))
		h.Write([]byte{0})
	}
	for _, nested := range blk.Body.Blocks {
		h.Write([]byte(nested.Type))
		h.Write([]byte{0})
		hashBlock(h, nested, src)
		h.Write([]byte{0})
	}
}
```

Add `"hash"` to the import block (alphabetically with stdlib).

## Regression Tests

**Status:** DONE

**Summary of the fix:**
- Added `"hash"` to the import block in `semantic.go`.
- Replaced the flat `blockHash` function with two functions: `blockHash` (entry point) and a new recursive `hashBlock` helper. The helper now digests labels, sorted attribute keys + source text, and for each nested block writes its type then recurses — so any change at any depth in the block tree shifts the hash.
- Previously, nested blocks like `lifecycle { prevent_destroy = true }` only contributed their type and labels to the hash; their attribute values were silently ignored, causing false "unchanged" reports.

**Test results:** 12 tests pass (7 semantic, 5 textual), all race-clean. Full suite (`./...`) passes with `go vet` and `go build` both clean.

**Commit:** `474d56d` — `fix(birdseye): recursively hash nested HCL blocks in semantic diff`

**Nothing unexpected** — the fix was straightforward and no existing tests were broken.

Fixed at `474d56d`. The new `hashBlock` helper recurses into nested blocks, so changes inside `lifecycle`, `dynamic`, `provisioner`, `inline_policy`, etc. now properly perturb the parent's hash and surface as a `Modified` semantic change. Three regression tests added (nested attribute change, deeply nested change, identical nested blocks staying unchanged). 12 diff tests pass race-clean, full suite green.

Two solid bugbot catches in a row, Sir Charles of St Cheese — the original spec did flag both `blockHash` limitations as v1 acceptable, but bugbot was right to push back. Sometimes "ship it" wisdom needs a second-pass nuggie inspector to spot the half-cooked centers.

The dependabot noise about 16 vulnerabilities on the default branch is unrelated to this work — those are pre-existing in `master`.

# Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs

Help turn ideas into fully formed designs and specs through natural collaborative dialogue.

Start by understanding the current project context, then ask questions one at a time to refine the idea. Once you understand what you're building, present the design and get user approval.

<HARD-GATE>
Do NOT invoke any implementation skill, write any code, scaffold any project, or take any implementation action until you have presented a design and the user has approved it. This applies to EVERY project regardless of perceived simplicity.
</HARD-GATE>

## Anti-Pattern: "This Is Too Simple To Need A Design"

Every project goes through this process. A todo list, a single-function utility, a config change — all of them. "Simple" projects are where unexamined assumptions cause the most wasted work. The design can be short (a few sentences for truly simple projects), but you MUST present it and get approval.

## Checklist

You MUST create a task for each of these items and complete them in order:

1. **Explore project context** — check files, docs, recent commits
2. **Offer visual companion** (if topic will involve visual questions) — this is its own message, not combined with a clarifying question. See the Visual Companion section below.
3. **Ask clarifying questions** — one at a time, understand purpose/constraints/success criteria
4. **Propose 2-3 approaches** — with trade-offs and your recommendation
5. **Present design** — in sections scaled to their complexity, get user approval after each section
6. **Write design doc** — save to `docs/superpowers/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md` and commit
7. **Spec self-review** — quick inline check for placeholders, contradictions, ambiguity, scope (see below)
8. **User reviews written spec** — ask user to review the spec file before proceeding
9. **Transition to implementation** — invoke writing-plans skill to create implementation plan

## Process Flow

    "User reviews spec?" -> "Invoke writing-plans skill" [label="approved"];
}
```

**The terminal state is invoking writing-plans.** Do NOT invoke frontend-design, mcp-builder, or any other implementation skill. The ONLY skill you invoke after brainstorming is writing-plans.

## The Process

**Understanding the idea:**

- Check out the current project state first (files, docs, recent commits)
- Before asking detailed questions, assess scope: if the request describes multiple independent subsystems (e.g., "build a platform with chat, file storage, billing, and analytics"), flag this immediately. Don't spend questions refining details of a project that needs to be decomposed first.
- If the project is too large for a single spec, help the user decompose into sub-projects: what are the independent pieces, how do they relate, what order should they be built? Then brainstorm the first sub-project through the normal design flow. Each sub-project gets its own spec → plan → implementation cycle.
- For appropriately-scoped projects, ask questions one at a time to refine the idea
- Prefer multiple choice questions when possible, but open-ended is fine too
- Only one question per message - if a topic needs more exploration, break it into multiple questions
- Focus on understanding: purpose, constraints, success criteria

**Exploring approaches:**

- Propose 2-3 different approaches with trade-offs
- Present options conversationally with your recommendation and reasoning
- Lead with your recommended option and explain why

**Presenting the design:**

- Once you believe you understand what you're building, present the design
- Scale each section to its complexity: a few sentences if straightforward, up to 200-300 words if nuanced
- Ask after each section whether it looks right so far
- Cover: architecture, components, data flow, error handling, testing
- Be ready to go back and clarify if something doesn't make sense

**Design for isolation and clarity:**

- Break the system into smaller units that each have one clear purpose, communicate through well-defined interfaces, and can be understood and tested independently
- For each unit, you should be able to answer: what does it do, how do you use it, and what does it depend on?
- Can someone understand what a unit does without reading its internals? Can you change the internals without breaking consumers? If not, the boundaries need work.
- Smaller, well-bounded units are also easier for you to work with - you reason better about code you can hold in context at once, and your edits are more reliable when files are focused. When a file grows large, that's often a signal that it's doing too much.

**Working in existing codebases:**

- Explore the current structure before proposing changes. Follow existing patterns.
- Where existing code has problems that affect the work (e.g., a file that's grown too large, unclear boundaries, tangled responsibilities), include targeted improvements as part of the design - the way a good developer improves code they're working in.
- Don't propose unrelated refactoring. Stay focused on what serves the current goal.

## After the Design

**Documentation:**

- Write the validated design (spec) to `docs/superpowers/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md`
  - (User preferences for spec location override this default)
- Use elements-of-style:writing-clearly-and-concisely skill if available
- Commit the design document to git

**Spec Self-Review:**
After writing the spec document, look at it with fresh eyes:

1. **Placeholder scan:** Any "TBD", "TODO", incomplete sections, or vague requirements? Fix them.
2. **Internal consistency:** Do any sections contradict each other? Does the architecture match the feature descriptions?
3. **Scope check:** Is this focused enough for a single implementation plan, or does it need decomposition?
4. **Ambiguity check:** Could any requirement be interpreted two different ways? If so, pick one and make it explicit.

Fix any issues inline. No need to re-review — just fix and move on.

**User Review Gate:**
After the spec review loop passes, ask the user to review the written spec before proceeding:

> "Spec written and committed to `<path>`. Please review it and let me know if you want to make any changes before we start writing out the implementation plan."

Wait for the user's response. If they request changes, make them and re-run the spec review loop. Only proceed once the user approves.

**Implementation:**

- Invoke the writing-plans skill to create a detailed implementation plan
- Do NOT invoke any other skill. writing-plans is the next step.

## Key Principles

- **One question at a time** - Don't overwhelm with multiple questions
- **Multiple choice preferred** - Easier to answer than open-ended when possible
- **YAGNI ruthlessly** - Remove unnecessary features from all designs
- **Explore alternatives** - Always propose 2-3 approaches before settling
- **Incremental validation** - Present design, get approval before moving on
- **Be flexible** - Go back and clarify when something doesn't make sense

## Visual Companion

A browser-based companion for showing mockups, diagrams, and visual options during brainstorming. Available as a tool — not a mode. Accepting the companion means it's available for questions that benefit from visual treatment; it does NOT mean every question goes through the browser.

**Offering the companion:** When you anticipate that upcoming questions will involve visual content (mockups, layouts, diagrams), offer it once for consent:
> "Some of what we're working on might be easier to explain if I can show it to you in a web browser. I can put together mockups, diagrams, comparisons, and other visuals as we go. This feature is still new and can be token-intensive. Want to try it? (Requires opening a local URL)"

**This offer MUST be its own message.** Do not combine it with clarifying questions, context summaries, or any other content. The message should contain ONLY the offer above and nothing else. Wait for the user's response before continuing. If they decline, proceed with text-only brainstorming.

**Per-question decision:** Even after the user accepts, decide FOR EACH QUESTION whether to use the browser or the terminal. The test: **would the user understand this better by seeing it than reading it?**

- **Use the browser** for content that IS visual — mockups, wireframes, layout comparisons, architecture diagrams, side-by-side visual designs
- **Use the terminal** for content that is text — requirements questions, conceptual choices, tradeoff lists, A/B/C/D text options, scope decisions

A question about a UI topic is not automatically a visual question. "What does personality mean in this context?" is a conceptual question — use the terminal. "Which wizard layout works better?" is a visual question — use the browser.

If they agree to the companion, read the detailed guide before proceeding:
`skills/brainstorming/visual-companion.md`
