+# Botfights: 30-Day Production Plan
+
+## Context
+
+Botfights is a procedural fighting game (Vue 3 + Kaplay + Hono/SQLite) where AI bots battle through challenge rounds with pixel art sprites, synthesized audio, and choreographed fight animations. Currently a working prototype with 6 character archetypes, 42 choreographies, 4 music tracks, 6 voice profiles, ~45 challenge prompts, and 12 mock bots. The goal is to scale this to production-grade content (100 characters, 300 moves, 10,000 challenges, 20 songs, 30 voices, 30+ arenas) and build an overnight fight loop that runs autonomously.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Module Splitting (Days 1-6)
+
+The 3 monolith files must be split before any content scaling. Without this, adding content to 3500-line files is unmaintainable.
+
+### Day 1-2: Split `sprites.ts` (954 lines)
+
+```
+frontend/src/game/sprites/
+  index.ts              -- re-exports generateSpriteSheet, getBotColors, etc.
+  palette.ts            -- makePal, parseHSL, Pal interface
+  constants.ts          -- FRAME_SIZE, ANIMATIONS, INTERNAL, SCALE
+  drawing.ts            -- px(), box(), fill() drawing primitives
+  base-body.ts          -- drawFrame() core body/head/arms/legs/pose logic
+  archetypes/
+    index.ts            -- archetype registry + roll function
+    standard.ts         -- base (no extra features)
+    lobster.ts          -- claws, antennae, segmented body, tail
+    sheep.ts            -- wool, floppy ears, hooves
+    cyborg.ts           -- metal plating, robot eye, wiring
+    blob.ts             -- wobbly outline, googly eyes, drool
+    tank.ts             -- armor, rivets, treads
+  judge.ts              -- generateJudgeSpriteSheet()
+```
+
+Each archetype exports `{ name, weight, drawFeatures(ctx, pal, params) }`. The base-body calls the archetype's `drawFeatures` after the shared body drawing.
+
+**Test:** Sprite preview page renders all 6 archetypes at all tiers identically to before.
+
+### Day 3-4: Split `FightScene.ts` (~3500 lines)
+
+```
+frontend/src/game/fight/
+  index.ts              -- createFightScene() orchestrator, returns controller
+  types.ts              -- FightContext interface (k, W, H, GROUND_Y, HOME_A, HOME_B, helpers)
+  constants.ts          -- ARENA_THEMES, spriteAnims, positions
+  particles.ts          -- spawnSparks, spawnBulletHoles, spawnExhaust, etc.
+  projectiles.ts        -- spawnProjectile, spawnBullet, spawnProp, spawnBarrage
+  effects.ts            -- glitchRGB, scanlineGlitch, vhsTracking, dimensionalShift, etc.
+  grotesque.ts          -- spawnGrotesqueDetails, destroyGrotesqueDetails
+  arena-decor.ts        -- drawArenaDecor() per-arena backgrounds
+  choreography/
+    index.ts            -- choreographyMap registry, pickChoreography
+    challenge-map.ts    -- CHALLENGE_THEMED + critMoves
+    basic.ts            -- dashPunch, aerialSlam, flyingKick, uppercut
+    ranged.ts           -- projectile, gunBurst, sniperShot, minigunSpray
+    movement.ts         -- dashThrough, fullScreenDash, teleportStrike
+    heavy.ts            -- groundPound, jetpackDive, bodySlam, suplex
+    weapons.ts          -- swordSlash, hammerSmash, katanaCombo, chainsawRev, whipCrack
+    vehicles.ts         -- motorbikeCharge, carSmash, boatCannon
+    themed.ts           -- golfClubSmash, fireBreath, riddleBarrage, coinShower, etc.
+  finishers.ts          -- playKO (4 styles), playPerfect
+  round.ts              -- playRound, playTaunt, playDodge
+```
+
+**Critical pattern:** Choreography functions close over Kaplay context. Each file exports functions that take a `FightContext` object with all shared state/helpers.
+
+**Test:** Replay several fights, verify all 42 choreographies work.
+
+### Day 5-6: Split `sounds.ts` (1381 lines) + server modules
+
+```
+frontend/src/game/sounds/
+  index.ts              -- re-exports
+  context.ts            -- AudioContext setup, gain nodes
+  primitives.ts         -- tone(), noise(), sweep() helpers
+  sfx.ts                -- all sfx functions (punch, kick, special, etc.)
+  voice.ts              -- voice profiles, speak(), announce*(), voice lines
+  music/
+    index.ts            -- startMusic(), stopMusic(), setMusicIntensity()
+    types.ts            -- MusicTrack interface
+    player.ts           -- playMusicBar() scheduler
+    tracks/
+      neon-fury.ts
+      dark-circuit.ts
+      pixel-blitz.ts
+      skull-crusher.ts
+
+server/src/engine/
+  challenges/
+    index.ts            -- pickChallenge(), registry
+    types.ts            -- Challenge interfaces
+    speed-blitz.ts      -- prompts array
+    riddle.ts
+    ... (one per type)
+  mock/
+    index.ts            -- runMockFight(), seedMockFights()
+    bots.ts             -- MOCK_BOTS array
+    answers.ts          -- MOCK_ANSWERS, BAD_ANSWERS
+    trash-talk.ts       -- TRASH_TALK lines
+```
+
+**Test:** Full end-to-end fight replay with music, SFX, voice.
+
+**Deliverable:** Identical functionality, ~40 small focused modules instead of 3 monoliths.
+
+---
+

+argument-hint: "[app-name]"
+---
+
+Add a new containerized app ($ARGUMENTS) to Archipelago.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Create the manifest
+
+Create `apps/{app-id}/manifest.yml` following the spec in `docs/app-manifest-spec.md`:
+- `app.id` (kebab-case), `app.name`, `app.version` (SemVer)
+- `container.image` (pinned version, **NEVER** `latest`)
+- `security`: readonly_root, dropped capabilities, non-root UID > 1000
+- `health_check`, `dependencies`
+
+### 2. Add app icon
+
+Place icon at `neode-ui/public/assets/img/app-icons/{app-id}.{png|webp|svg}`
+
+### 3. Create status UI (if no native web UI)
+
+For apps without their own web interface, create a UI container in `docker/{app-id}-ui/` following the patterns in `.cursor/rules/APP-UI-STANDARDS.md`.
+
+Reference implementations:
+- Bitcoin UI: `docker/bitcoin-ui/`
+- LND UI: `docker/lnd-ui/`
+
+### 4. Update backend
+
+- Add port mapping in `core/archipelago/src/container/docker_packages.rs`
+- Add env vars in `get_app_config()` in `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc.rs`
+
+### 5. Deploy and test
+
+- Deploy: `./scripts/deploy-to-target.sh --live`
+- Install from marketplace UI at http://192.168.1.228
+- Verify it launches and auto-connects to dependencies
+- Check logs: `sudo podman logs {container-name}`
+
+### 6. Security review
+
+- Verify readonly root, dropped caps, non-root user
+- Check network isolation
+- No hardcoded secrets

+
+# Encrypted Records Skill
+
+## When to Use
+When working with E2E encrypted client records, community posts, or group key management.
+
+## NIP-44 Encryption (Practitioner <-> Client)
+```typescript
+import { nip44 } from 'nostr-tools';
+
+// Encrypt record for a specific client
+function encryptRecord(
+  practitionerSecretKey: Uint8Array,
+  clientPubKey: string,
+  recordData: object
+): string {
+  const plaintext = JSON.stringify(recordData);
+  const conversationKey = nip44.v2.utils.getConversationKey(practitionerSecretKey, clientPubKey);
+  return nip44.v2.encrypt(plaintext, conversationKey);
+}
+
+// Decrypt record (client side)
+function decryptRecord(
+  clientSecretKey: Uint8Array,
+  practitionerPubKey: string,
+  encryptedData: string
+): object {
+  const conversationKey = nip44.v2.utils.getConversationKey(clientSecretKey, practitionerPubKey);
+  const plaintext = nip44.v2.decrypt(encryptedData, conversationKey);
+  return JSON.parse(plaintext);
+}
+```
+
+## Group Encryption (Community Channels)
+
+### Creating a Channel with Group Key
+```typescript
+// Generate a symmetric group key for the channel
+function generateGroupKey(): Uint8Array {
+  return crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(32));
+}
+
+// Encrypt group key for a specific member using NIP-44
+function wrapGroupKeyForMember(
+  adminSecretKey: Uint8Array,
+  memberPubKey: string,
+  groupKey: Uint8Array
+): string {
+  const conversationKey = nip44.v2.utils.getConversationKey(adminSecretKey, memberPubKey);
+  return nip44.v2.encrypt(
+    btoa(String.fromCharCode(...groupKey)),
+    conversationKey
+  );
+}
+
+// Member unwraps their group key
+function unwrapGroupKey(
+  memberSecretKey: Uint8Array,
+  adminPubKey: string,
+  wrappedKey: string
+): Uint8Array {
+  const conversationKey = nip44.v2.utils.getConversationKey(memberSecretKey, adminPubKey);
+  const decoded = nip44.v2.decrypt(wrappedKey, conversationKey);
+  return Uint8Array.from(atob(decoded), c => c.charCodeAt(0));
+}
+```
+
+### Encrypting Community Posts with Group Key
+```typescript
+// Encrypt post content with the channel's symmetric group key
+async function encryptPostWithGroupKey(
+  groupKey: Uint8Array,
+  content: string
+): Promise<string> {
+  const key = await crypto.subtle.importKey(
+    'raw', groupKey, 'AES-GCM', false, ['encrypt']
+  );
+  const iv = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(12));
+  const encoded = new TextEncoder().encode(content);
+  const ciphertext = await crypto.subtle.encrypt(
+    { name: 'AES-GCM', iv }, key, encoded
+  );
+  const combined = new Uint8Array([...iv, ...new Uint8Array(ciphertext)]);
+  return btoa(String.fromCharCode(...combined));
+}
+
+// Decrypt post content
+async function decryptPostWithGroupKey(
+  groupKey: Uint8Array,
+  encrypted: string
+): Promise<string> {
+  const combined = Uint8Array.from(atob(encrypted), c => c.charCodeAt(0));
+  const iv = combined.slice(0, 12);
+  const ciphertext = combined.slice(12);
+  const key = await crypto.subtle.importKey(
+    'raw', groupKey, 'AES-GCM', false, ['decrypt']
+  );
+  const decrypted = await crypto.subtle.decrypt(
+    { name: 'AES-GCM', iv }, key, ciphertext
+  );
+  return new TextDecoder().decode(decrypted);
+}
+```
+
+### Key Rotation (when member removed)
+```typescript
+// When a member is removed from a channel:
+// 1. Generate new group key
+// 2. Re-wrap for all remaining members
+// 3. Update ChannelMember.encryptedGroupKey for each
+// 4. New posts use new key; old posts remain readable with old key
+//    (store key version/epoch on each post)
+```
+
+## Record Types
+```typescript
+interface ClientRecord {
+  type: 'session_notes' | 'assessment' | 'treatment_plan';
+  title: string;
+  content: string;  // Rich text or structured data
+  attachments?: {
+    name: string;
+    mimeType: string;
+    encryptedData: string;  // Each file encrypted separately
+  }[];
+  createdAt: string; // ISO timestamp
+}
+```
+
+## Rules
+- ALL encryption happens client-side — server stores only encrypted blobs
+- Use NIP-44 v2 (NOT NIP-04 — it's deprecated and has known weaknesses)
+- Group keys: AES-256-GCM with random IVs
+- Include key version/epoch on group-encrypted content for rotation support
+- Never log or expose plaintext content on the server
+- Media files are encrypted individually before upload

+---
+
+Perform a security hardening pass on $ARGUMENTS (default: all).
+
+## Backend Hardening (Rust)
+
+- [ ] No hardcoded credentials — check for Base64-encoded auth strings, passwords in source
+- [ ] Secrets use `core/security/secrets_manager.rs` — verify encryption is implemented (not plaintext)
+- [ ] All RPC endpoints validate inputs before processing
+- [ ] No `unwrap()` on user-supplied data — handle errors gracefully
+- [ ] Rate limiting on auth endpoints (login, password change)
+- [ ] Session tokens have proper expiry and rotation
+- [ ] File permissions: keys at 0o600, dirs at 0o700
+- [ ] Tracing never logs secrets, passwords, keys, or tokens
+
+## Frontend Hardening (Vue/TypeScript)
+
+- [ ] No secrets in source (API keys, passwords, tokens)
+- [ ] No `eval()` or `innerHTML` with untrusted content
+- [ ] XSS prevention — sanitize all user inputs
+- [ ] CSRF protection on state-changing requests
+- [ ] Credentials use `credentials: 'include'` not localStorage tokens
+- [ ] No sensitive data in console.log statements
+
+## Container Hardening
+
+- [ ] All manifests: `readonly_root: true` (unless documented exception)
+- [ ] All manifests: capabilities dropped, only required ones added
+- [ ] All manifests: non-root user (UID > 1000)
+- [ ] All manifests: `no-new-privileges: true`
+- [ ] All images pinned to specific versions (no `:latest`)
+- [ ] Network isolation — no `host` network unless required and documented
+- [ ] AppArmor profiles defined and enforced
+
+## Script Hardening
+
+- [ ] All scripts use `set -euo pipefail`
+- [ ] No hardcoded passwords (use deploy-config.sh or env vars)
+- [ ] SSH uses proper key-based auth where possible
+- [ ] No `chmod 777` or overly permissive permissions
+- [ ] Temp files use `mktemp` not predictable paths
+
+Report all findings with file paths and line numbers. Fix issues directly where safe to do so. Flag anything that needs discussion.

+---
+
+# Nostr Auth Skill
+
+## When to Use
+When working with authentication flows, keypair management, or NIP-98 API auth in the portal.
+
+## Key Principle
+Nostr is used ONLY for cryptographic authentication. No relay connections. No event publishing. Just keypairs and signatures.
+
+## Keypair Generation (Easy Mode)
+```typescript
+import { generateSecretKey, getPublicKey, nip19 } from 'nostr-tools';
+
+// Generate new identity
+const secretKey = generateSecretKey(); // Uint8Array
+const publicKey = getPublicKey(secretKey); // hex string
+
+// Encode for display (only when user requests it)
+const npub = nip19.npubEncode(publicKey);
+const nsec = nip19.nsecEncode(secretKey);
+```
+
+## Private Key Encryption (for localStorage)
+```typescript
+// Encrypt private key with user's passphrase before storing
+async function encryptPrivateKey(secretKey: Uint8Array, passphrase: string): Promise<string> {
+  const encoder = new TextEncoder();
+  const keyMaterial = await crypto.subtle.importKey(
+    'raw', encoder.encode(passphrase), 'PBKDF2', false, ['deriveKey']
+  );
+  const salt = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(16));
+  const derivedKey = await crypto.subtle.deriveKey(
+    { name: 'PBKDF2', salt, iterations: 600000, hash: 'SHA-256' },
+    keyMaterial, { name: 'AES-GCM', length: 256 }, false, ['encrypt']
+  );
+  const iv = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(12));
+  const encrypted = await crypto.subtle.encrypt(
+    { name: 'AES-GCM', iv }, derivedKey, secretKey
+  );
+  // Return salt + iv + ciphertext as base64
+  const combined = new Uint8Array([...salt, ...iv, ...new Uint8Array(encrypted)]);
+  return btoa(String.fromCharCode(...combined));
+}
+```
+
+## NIP-07 Detection (Nostr Native)
+```typescript
+// Check for browser extension
+function hasNostrExtension(): boolean {
+  return typeof window !== 'undefined' && 'nostr' in window;
+}
+
+// Sign with extension
+async function signWithExtension(event: object): Promise<object> {
+  return await (window as any).nostr.signEvent(event);
+}
+
+// Get public key from extension
+async function getExtensionPubkey(): Promise<string> {
+  return await (window as any).nostr.getPublicKey();
+}
+```
+
+## Challenge-Response Auth (NIP-98 style)
+```typescript
+import { finalizeEvent, verifyEvent } from 'nostr-tools';
+
+// Client: Sign auth challenge
+function createAuthEvent(secretKey: Uint8Array, url: string, method: string) {
+  const event = finalizeEvent({
+    kind: 27235, // NIP-98 HTTP Auth
+    created_at: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),
+    tags: [
+      ['u', url],
+      ['method', method],
+    ],
+    content: '',
+  }, secretKey);
+  return event;
+}
+
+// Send as Authorization header:
+// Authorization: Nostr <base64-encoded-event-json>
+
+// Server: Verify auth event
+function verifyAuthEvent(event: any, expectedUrl: string, expectedMethod: string): boolean {
+  if (!verifyEvent(event)) return false;
+  if (event.kind !== 27235) return false;
+  const urlTag = event.tags.find((t: string[]) => t[0] === 'u');
+  const methodTag = event.tags.find((t: string[]) => t[0] === 'method');
+  if (urlTag?.[1] !== expectedUrl) return false;
+  if (methodTag?.[1] !== expectedMethod) return false;
+  // Check timestamp is within 60 seconds
+  if (Math.abs(Date.now() / 1000 - event.created_at) > 60) return false;
+  return true;
+}
+```
+
+## Rules
+- NEVER store private keys on the server
+- NEVER connect to any Nostr relay
+- NEVER transmit private keys over the network
+- ALWAYS encrypt private keys before storing in localStorage
+- Use PBKDF2 with at least 600,000 iterations for key derivation
+- Auth events expire after 60 seconds
+- Server only stores npub (public key)

+3. **Browser manifest resources** (Chromium stores resized icons in its profile data, keyed by a permanent extension ID tied to the origin — NEVER re-fetched even after uninstall/reinstall)
+4. **macOS .app bundle** (`.icns` file baked into the `.app` in `~/Applications/`)
+
+Query string cache busting (`?v=2`) and uninstall/reinstall do NOT fix this. Chromium reuses the same extension ID for the same origin, so it keeps the old cached icons.
+
+## Fix Steps
+
+### 1. Verify icon files on disk and server are correct
+
+```bash
+# Visual check
+Read packages/app/public/pwa-192x192.png
+Read packages/app/public/pwa-512x512.png
+
+# Hash match check
+curl -s http://localhost:5173/pwa-192x192.png | md5
+md5 -q packages/app/public/pwa-192x192.png
+```
+
+### 2. Find the PWA's Chromium extension ID
+
+Read the installed `.app` bundle's `Info.plist` to get the `CrAppModeShortcutID`:
+
+```bash
+plutil -p "~/Applications/Brave Browser Apps.localized/AIUI.app/Contents/Info.plist" | grep CrAppModeShortcutID
+```
+
+This returns an ID like `idemibpphagihbobmgmaojhjfidlfpdl`.
+
+### 3. Overwrite the cached icons in browser profile
+
+Chromium stores resized icons at:
+`~/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Web Applications/Manifest Resources/{ID}/Icons/`
+
+Overwrite every size using `sips`:
+
+```bash
+ICON_DIR="~/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Web Applications/Manifest Resources/{ID}/Icons"
+SRC="packages/app/public/pwa-512x512.png"
+for size in 32 48 64 96 128 192 256 512; do
+  sips -z $size $size "$SRC" --out "${ICON_DIR}/${size}.png"
+done
+```
+
+### 4. Rebuild the macOS .icns in the .app bundle
+
+```bash
+ICONSET="/tmp/aiui.iconset"
+mkdir -p "$ICONSET"
+SRC="packages/app/public/pwa-512x512.png"
+sips -z 16 16 "$SRC" --out "$ICONSET/icon_16x16.png"
+sips -z 32 32 "$SRC" --out "$ICONSET/icon_16x16@2x.png"
+sips -z 32 32 "$SRC" --out "$ICONSET/icon_32x32.png"
+sips -z 64 64 "$SRC" --out "$ICONSET/icon_32x32@2x.png"
+sips -z 128 128 "$SRC" --out "$ICONSET/icon_128x128.png"
+sips -z 256 256 "$SRC" --out "$ICONSET/icon_128x128@2x.png"
+sips -z 256 256 "$SRC" --out "$ICONSET/icon_256x256.png"
+sips -z 512 512 "$SRC" --out "$ICONSET/icon_256x256@2x.png"
+sips -z 512 512 "$SRC" --out "$ICONSET/icon_512x512.png"
+cp "$SRC" "$ICONSET/icon_512x512@2x.png"
+iconutil -c icns "$ICONSET" -o "~/Applications/Brave Browser Apps.localized/AIUI.app/Contents/Resources/app.icns"
+```
+
+### 5. Flush macOS icon cache
+
+```bash
+touch "~/Applications/Brave Browser Apps.localized/AIUI.app"
+killall Finder
+killall Dock
+```
+
+### 6. Bump PWA_CACHE_VERSION in main.ts
+
+Increment the `PWA_CACHE_VERSION` constant — this nukes all SW caches on next page load for web-layer caching.
+
+### 7. Delete stale build artifacts
+
+Remove old `dist/` and `dev-dist/` SW/manifest files.
+
+## Browser-Specific Paths
+
+- **Brave**: `~/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Web Applications/`
+- **Chrome**: `~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Web Applications/`
+- **PWA apps (Brave)**: `~/Applications/Brave Browser Apps.localized/`
+- **PWA apps (Chrome)**: `~/Applications/Chrome Apps.localized/`
+
+## Key Insight
+
+Chromium assigns a permanent extension ID per origin (e.g., `localhost:5173`). This ID persists across uninstall/reinstall. The icon cache in `Manifest Resources/{ID}/Icons/` is populated ONCE and never refreshed from the manifest. The only fix is to overwrite the files directly on disk.

+
+## Checklist
+
+### Rust Backend
+- [ ] No `unwrap()` or `expect()` — use `?` operator with context
+- [ ] Replace `#[allow(dead_code)]` — either use it or remove it
+- [ ] Functions under 50 lines, single responsibility
+- [ ] Custom error types per module with `thiserror`
+- [ ] `tracing` for logging — no `println!` or secrets in logs
+- [ ] Split files over 500 lines into focused modules
+- [ ] Run `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features` mentally and fix issues
+
+### Vue Frontend
+- [ ] Extract ALL inline Tailwind to global classes in `neode-ui/src/style.css`
+- [ ] Use semantic class names: `.glass-card`, `.info-card`, `.glass-button`, `.path-option-card`
+- [ ] Replace ALL `.gradient-button` with `.glass-button` (gradient buttons are BANNED)
+- [ ] Replace ALL `.gradient-card` / `.gradient-card-dark` with `.glass-card` or `.path-option-card`
+- [ ] Settings.vue is the gold standard — all screens should match its patterns
+- [ ] Replace `any` types with proper interfaces or `unknown`
+- [ ] Ensure `<script setup lang="ts">` on all components
+- [ ] Remove dead code (unused imports, components like HelloWorld.vue)
+- [ ] Remove all `TODO`/`FIXME` — fix now or create GitHub issues
+- [ ] Consolidate `console.log` calls to use a logging utility
+- [ ] Split views over 800 LOC into sub-components
+
+### General
+- [ ] No hardcoded paths (`/Users/dorian/...`)
+- [ ] No hardcoded credentials — use env vars or secrets manager
+- [ ] Comment WHY not WHAT
+- [ ] Remove commented-out code entirely
+
+After refactoring, verify the code still compiles/type-checks. For frontend: `cd neode-ui && npm run type-check`. Do NOT deploy — leave that to `/deploy`.

+---
+
+Run or create tests for $ARGUMENTS.
+
+## Backend Testing (Rust)
+
+### Run existing tests
+```bash
+# On dev server (never build Rust on macOS)
+sshpass -p 'EwPDR8q45l0Upx@' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no archipelago@192.168.1.228 \
+  'source ~/.cargo/env && cd ~/archy/core && cargo test --all-features 2>&1'
+```
+
+### Creating new tests
+- Place unit tests in the same file with `#[cfg(test)]` module
+- Place integration tests in `core/{crate}/tests/`
+- Use `#[tokio::test]` for async tests
+- Mock external dependencies (filesystem, network, Podman)
+- Test error cases, not just happy paths
+- Aim for >80% coverage on core logic
+
+### Priority areas needing tests
+1. RPC endpoint handlers (core/archipelago/src/api/)
+2. Manifest parsing (core/container/src/manifest.rs)
+3. Dependency resolver (core/container/src/dependency_resolver.rs)
+4. Auth flows (core/archipelago/src/auth.rs)
+5. Secrets manager (core/security/src/secrets_manager.rs)
+6. Port allocation (core/container/src/port_manager.rs)
+
+## Frontend Testing (Vue/TypeScript)
+
+### Setup (if not already configured)
+Ensure vitest is configured in `neode-ui/`:
+```bash
+cd neode-ui && npm run test 2>&1 || echo "No test script configured"
+```
+
+### Creating new tests
+- Use Vitest + @vue/test-utils
+- Place tests in `neode-ui/src/__tests__/` or co-located `*.test.ts`
+- Test stores (Pinia) with `createTestingPinia()`
+- Test API clients with mocked fetch
+- Test component rendering and interactions
+- Test routing guards
+
+### Priority areas needing tests
+1. Pinia stores (app.ts, container.ts, appLauncher.ts)
+2. RPC client (api/rpc-client.ts) — error handling, retry logic
+3. WebSocket client (api/websocket.ts) — reconnection
+4. Router guards — auth flow, session timeout
+5. Key components — ContainerStatus, SpotlightSearch
+
+Report test results and any new tests created.

+description: Review UI components against Archipelago glassmorphism design standards and UX conventions
+disable-model-invocation: true
+allowed-tools: Read, Glob, Grep, Edit, Write
+argument-hint: "[component-or-view-name]"
+---
+
+Review the UI of $ARGUMENTS against Archipelago's glassmorphism design system and UX standards.
+
+## Design System Compliance
+
+### Glass Classes (must use global classes from style.css)
+- [ ] Section containers use `.path-option-card cursor-default px-6 py-6` (Settings-style sections)
+- [ ] Content containers/modals use `.glass-card`
+- [ ] Interactive selectable cards use `.path-option-card` (with hover)
+- [ ] Status displays use `.info-card` (no hover effects)
+- [ ] ALL buttons use `.glass-button` — NEVER `.gradient-button` (BANNED)
+- [ ] Large primary actions use `.path-action-button`
+- [ ] Info sub-cards use `bg-black/20 rounded-xl border border-white/10`
+- [ ] Info rows use `bg-white/5 rounded-lg` pattern
+- [ ] Action buttons in info sections use `.info-card-button`
+
+### BANNED — Flag These as Violations
+- [ ] No `.gradient-button` anywhere (replace with `.glass-button`)
+- [ ] No `.gradient-card` / `.gradient-card-dark` (replace with `.glass-card` or `.path-option-card`)
+
+### NO Inline Tailwind
+- [ ] Check for long `class="..."` strings with layout/color utilities
+- [ ] Extract to semantic classes in `neode-ui/src/style.css`
+- [ ] Name classes semantically: `.app-card`, `.status-badge`, `.nav-item`
+
+### Color Compliance
+- [ ] Primary text: `text-white/90` (not `text-white` or arbitrary opacity)
+- [ ] Muted text: `text-white/60` to `text-white/70`
+- [ ] Backgrounds: `rgba(0,0,0,0.60)` with `backdrop-filter: blur(24px)`
+- [ ] Borders: `rgba(255,255,255,0.18)` standard
+- [ ] Status colors: green=#4ade80, red=#ef4444, yellow=#facc15, blue=#3b82f6, orange=#fb923c
+
+### Typography
+- [ ] Font: Avenir Next (body), Montserrat (headings via `font-archipelago`)
+- [ ] H1: text-3xl font-bold, H2: text-2xl font-semibold, H3: text-xl font-semibold
+- [ ] Body: text-base, Small: text-sm, Labels: text-xs
+
+### Interaction States
+- [ ] Hover: `translateY(-2px)` lift + background brighten + enhanced shadow
+- [ ] Active: `translateY(1px)` press
+- [ ] Selected: brighter background + glow shadow + enhanced gradient border
+- [ ] Disabled: reduced opacity (~50%), no pointer events
+- [ ] Loading: spinner SVG + descriptive text, button disabled
+- [ ] Focus-visible: soft blue glow `rgba(120, 180, 255, 0.2)`
+
+### Transitions
+- [ ] Standard: `all 0.3s ease`
+- [ ] All interactive elements have transitions (no jarring state changes)
+- [ ] Respect `prefers-reduced-motion`
+
+### Spacing
+- [ ] 4px grid system (p-1=4px, p-2=8px, p-3=12px, p-4=16px)
+- [ ] 16px default padding on cards
+- [ ] Consistent gap values between grid items
+
+### Responsive
+- [ ] Mobile: single column, reduced padding, touch targets >= 44x44px
+- [ ] Tablet (md:): two columns
+- [ ] Desktop (lg:): three columns, full effects
+
+### Accessibility
+- [ ] Semantic HTML (`<button>`, `<nav>`, `<main>`, not div soup)
+- [ ] ARIA labels on icon-only buttons
+- [ ] Keyboard navigable (Tab order, Enter to activate, Esc to close)
+- [ ] Color contrast WCAG AA (4.5:1 normal text, 3:1 large)
+- [ ] Images have alt text (decorative: `alt=""`)
+
+### Icons
+- [ ] Stroke-based SVGs, stroke-width 2.5 default
+- [ ] Color: `text-white/85` default, `text-white` on hover
+- [ ] Drop-shadow filter applied on interactive icons
+- [ ] Size: w-5 h-5 standard, w-4 h-4 small
+
+## Service UI Review (if reviewing docker/*-ui/)
+- [ ] Uses `.glass-card` for main sections
+- [ ] Uses `.info-card` for status (no hover)
+- [ ] Uses `.info-card-button` for actions (with hover)
+- [ ] Uses `bg-white/5` for info rows
+- [ ] Header: logo + title + description + status
+- [ ] Background image loads correctly
+- [ ] Mobile responsive
+
+Report violations with file paths and specific fixes.
