# AGENTS.md — ForgeBucket AI Agent Guide
This file is for AI coding agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.) working in this repository. Read it before making changes.
---
## Mission
ForgeBucket is a **unified operating system for software delivery** — not a Git repository viewer with CI attached. The guiding philosophy:
> Repositories are runtime systems. The dashboard is a command center. GitOps is first-class.
Every feature decision should answer: does this reduce cognitive load? Does this improve operational awareness? Does this improve developer flow?
The full product vision lives in [`ai_agent_master_prompt_for_building_modern_git_platform.md`](ai_agent_master_prompt_for_building_modern_git_platform.md).

## Architecture Map
```
cmd/forgebucket/ — binary entry point (main.go)
internal/
api/
router.go — Chi router, all route definitions (60+ routes)
middleware/ — auth.go, csrf.go, rbac.go, audit.go
handlers/ — one file per domain area (see Key Files below)
domain/
git/ — sanitized git binary wrapper (exec.Command only, no shell)
binary.go — Run, Log, Tree, Diff, BlobCat, RevParse, etc.
agit.go — AGit ref parsing
ci/ — CI/CD execution engine (fully built — Phase 2B)
orchestrator.go — NATS-driven DAG orchestrator
runner_manager.go — job dispatch with Docker executor
executor.go — docker run, log streaming, workspace extraction
dag.go — topological sort, ReadyJobs
parser.go — .forgebucket/workflows/*.yml parser
types.go — WorkflowFile, WorkflowJob, WorkflowStep structs

controller.go — NATS subscriptions, startup, periodic ticker
drift.go — CheckDrift, handlePush, periodicCheck
reconciler.go — TriggerSync, handleDeploymentSucceeded/Failed
federation/ — ActivityPub / ForgeFed (DATA LAYER ONLY — Phase 3F stub)
observability/ — Prometheus metrics + health (fully built — Phase 3E)
metrics.go — metric definitions, HTTP middleware, NATS watcher
health.go — Check() returning HealthStatus (DB ping + NATS)
models/ — XORM structs + 13 migration files
config/ — ENV-driven config, fails fast on missing secrets
events/ — NATS EventBus interface + NATSBus + NoOpBus (Healthy() bool)
web/ — //go:embed target for the built React SPA
frontend/
src/
pages/ — route-level page components
components/ — shared UI (AppShell, Sidebar, Header, DiffViewer, etc.)
ui/
tokens.ts — SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH for all design tokens
hooks/ — custom React hooks
api/ — typed API client (fetch wrappers)
```
**Middleware chain — this order is fixed, do not reorder:**
```
Logger → RealIP → Recoverer → Metrics → CORS → CSRF → SessionAuth → AuditLog → Handler
```

## Current Phase Status
| Phase | Scope | Status |
|-------|-------|--------|
| 1 | Auth, Git HTTP, repos, PRs, issues, RBAC, webhooks, LFS, design system | **Complete** |
| 2A | NATS event bus, WebSocket hub, audit log | **Complete** |
| 2B | CI orchestrator, runner manager, Docker executor, artifact registry | **Complete** |
| 2C | Pipeline DAG visualization, dashboard CI upgrade, command palette | **Complete** |
| 3A | Environment model + deployment tracking | **Complete** |
| 3B | Unified operational timeline | **Complete** |
| 3C | Workspaces + secret management (Global → Workspace → Repo → Env) | **Complete** |
| 3D | GitOps controller + drift detection + auto-sync | **Complete** |
| 3E | Observability (Prometheus `/metrics`, structured `/health`, repo health API) | **Complete** |
| 3F | Federation handlers (ActivityPub inbox/outbox) | Planned |
| 4 | AI diagnostics, signed artifacts, OCI registry, dep/secret scanning | Planned |
The `domain/federation/` directory is an intentional stub — the data model exists but no HTTP handlers should be wired until Phase 3F.

## Go Conventions
### Git commands — critical rule
Always use `exec.Command("git", arg1, arg2, ...)` with **discrete arguments**. Never build a shell string from user input.
```go
// CORRECT
cmd := exec.Command("git", "clone", "--bare", repoURL, destPath)
// WRONG — never do this
cmd := exec.Command("sh", "-c", "git clone "+userInput)
```
This rule is non-negotiable. It prevents command injection.
### Router / handlers
- Chi router. Route definitions in `internal/api/router.go`.
- One handler file per domain area. Keep handlers thin — business logic belongs in domain packages.
- All POST/PUT/DELETE routes require `X-CSRF-Token` header matching the session cookie. The CSRF middleware enforces this, but don't remove it from route definitions.
- There is a shared `resolveRepoID(db, w, r)` function in `internal/api/handlers/repo_lookup.go` — use it instead of duplicating repo resolution logic.
### Database
- XORM for all DB access. Structs in `internal/models/`.
- Migrations are numbered files in `internal/models/migrations/`. Always add a new file; never edit existing ones. Current highest: **013**.
- No raw SQL strings built from user input.
### Events
- Publish to NATS via `bus.Publish(events.SubjectXxx, payload)` where the subject is a constant from `internal/events/subjects.go`.
- Payload types are in `internal/events/types.go` — use them for type-safe unmarshaling in subscribers.
- `NoOpBus` silently drops events when `NATS_URL` is unset — the app must work normally without NATS.
### Secrets and config
- All secrets come from environment variables via `internal/config/`.
- Never hardcode secrets, tokens, or credentials anywhere.
- `SESSION_SECRET` ≥ 32 chars. `CSRF_SECRET` = exactly 32 chars.
### Error handling
- Return errors up the call stack. Don't swallow them silently.
- HTTP handlers use consistent JSON error responses — follow the pattern in `jsonError` / `jsonOK` in `internal/api/handlers/helpers.go`.
---
## TypeScript / React Conventions
### Design tokens — critical rule
All spacing, color, and sizing values must come from `frontend/src/ui/tokens.ts`. Do not introduce new hardcoded pixel values or color hex codes.
```tsx
// CORRECT — use token classes via Tailwind
<div className="p-sm gap-xs">
// WRONG — arbitrary values
<div style={{ padding: "12px" }}>
```
### Grid system
- Base unit: 8px. All spacing is multiples of 4px (`xs`) or 8px (`sm`).
- Touch targets: 44px minimum height/width on all interactive elements (buttons, links, icon buttons).
### Dark mode
- Use Tailwind v4 `@variant dark` — not hardcoded `dark:` classes unless inside a component that explicitly handles both.
- Colors must work in both light and dark modes. Test both.
### Component patterns
- `AppShell` wraps all authenticated pages. Don't bypass it.
- `Sidebar` has three states: expanded (320px), collapsed (56px), mobile bottom bar. Respect all three.
- Mobile-first: design for 375px, enhance for 1440px. Use the `BottomTabBar` for mobile nav — don't add new nav patterns.
- Loading states: use `Skeleton` components for perceived performance, not spinners.
- Mobile code review: use the `MobileComment` bottom-sheet pattern — not modals.
### API calls
- Use the typed API client in `frontend/src/api/` — don't write raw `fetch` calls in components.
- Always include `X-CSRF-Token` header on mutating requests (the client does this automatically via `getCSRFToken()`).
---
## What NOT to Do
- **No shell string injection** — see Go conventions above; always discrete `exec.Command` args
- **No hardcoded secrets** — everything via env
- **No skipping CSRF** — all mutating routes require it
- **No arbitrary design values** — `tokens.ts` is the law
- **No new color tokens without discussion** — the existing palette covers all cases
- **No modal-heavy UX** — progressive disclosure; avoid deep modal chains
- **No YAML-centric UI** — pipeline and GitOps config should feel operational, not config-file editing
- **No editing existing migration files** — always add a new numbered migration
- **No direct `fmt.Println` for logging** — use `log.Printf` so structured logs work correctly
---
## Testing
```bash
make test # Go tests (go test ./...) + Vitest (frontend unit tests)
make lint # go vet + ESLint
```
- Go: test files live alongside source files (`*_test.go`)
- Frontend: Vitest for unit tests, component tests alongside components
- All UI changes must be manually verified at 1440px desktop and 375px mobile

## Running Locally
```bash
cp .env.example .env # fill SESSION_SECRET and CSRF_SECRET
make docker-up # PostgreSQL + NATS via Docker Compose
make migrate # run XORM migrations (currently 013)
make dev # Go :8080 + Vite :5173
```
CI execution requires Docker to be running locally. If unavailable, the runner logs a warning and CI jobs are queued but not executed.
