+# Backend Development Context
+
+**When to load:** Working on Go backend API, handlers, or Kubernetes integration
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+- **Language:** Go 1.21+
+- **Framework:** Gin (HTTP router)
+- **K8s Client:** client-go + dynamic client
+- **Primary Files:** `components/backend/handlers/*.go`, `components/backend/types/*.go`
+
+## Critical Rules
+
+### Authentication & Authorization
+
+**ALWAYS use user-scoped clients for API operations:**
+
+```go
+reqK8s, reqDyn := GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)
+if reqK8s == nil {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"error": "Invalid or missing token"})
+ c.Abort()
+ return
+}
+```
+
+**FORBIDDEN:** Using backend service account (`DynamicClient`, `K8sClient`) for user-initiated operations
+
+**Backend service account ONLY for:**
+
+- Writing CRs after validation (handlers/sessions.go:417)
+- Minting tokens/secrets for runners (handlers/sessions.go:449)
+- Cross-namespace operations backend is authorized for
+
+### Token Security
+
+**NEVER log tokens:**
+
+```go
+// ❌ BAD
+log.Printf("Token: %s", token)
+
+// ✅ GOOD
+log.Printf("Processing request with token (len=%d)", len(token))
+```
+
+**Token redaction in logs:** See `server/server.go:22-34` for custom formatter
+
+### Error Handling
+
+**Pattern for handler errors:**
+
+```go
+// Resource not found
+if errors.IsNotFound(err) {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusNotFound, gin.H{"error": "Session not found"})
+ return
+}
+
+// Generic error
+if err != nil {
+ log.Printf("Failed to create session %s in project %s: %v", name, project, err)
+ c.JSON(http.StatusInternalServerError, gin.H{"error": "Failed to create session"})
+ return
+}
+```
+
+### Type-Safe Unstructured Access
+
+**FORBIDDEN:** Direct type assertions
+
+```go
+// ❌ BAD - will panic if type is wrong
+spec := obj.Object["spec"].(map[string]interface{})
+```
+
+**REQUIRED:** Use unstructured helpers
+
+```go
+// ✅ GOOD
+spec, found, err := unstructured.NestedMap(obj.Object, "spec")
+if !found || err != nil {
+ return fmt.Errorf("spec not found")
+}
+```
+
+## Common Tasks
+
+### Adding a New API Endpoint
+
+1. **Define route:** `routes.go` with middleware chain
+2. **Create handler:** `handlers/[resource].go`
+3. **Validate project context:** Use `ValidateProjectContext()` middleware
+4. **Get user clients:** `GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)`
+5. **Perform operation:** Use `reqDyn` for K8s resources
+6. **Return response:** Structured JSON with appropriate status code
+
+### Adding a New Custom Resource Field
+
+1. **Update CRD:** `components/manifests/base/[resource]-crd.yaml`
+2. **Update types:** `components/backend/types/[resource].go`
+3. **Update handlers:** Extract/validate new field in handlers
+4. **Update operator:** Handle new field in reconciliation
+5. **Test:** Create sample CR with new field
+
+## Pre-Commit Checklist
+
+- [ ] All user operations use `GetK8sClientsForRequest`
+- [ ] No tokens in logs
+- [ ] Errors logged with context
+- [ ] Type-safe unstructured access
+- [ ] `gofmt -w .` applied
+- [ ] `go vet ./...` passes
+- [ ] `golangci-lint run` passes
+
+## Key Files
+
+- `handlers/sessions.go` - AgenticSession lifecycle (3906 lines)
+- `handlers/middleware.go` - Auth, RBAC validation
+- `handlers/helpers.go` - Utility functions (StringPtr, BoolPtr)
+- `types/session.go` - Type definitions
+- `server/server.go` - Server setup, token redaction
+
+## Recent Issues & Learnings
+
+- **2024-11-15:** Fixed token leak in logs - never log raw tokens
+- **2024-11-10:** Multi-repo support added - `mainRepoIndex` specifies working directory
+- **2024-10-20:** Added RBAC validation middleware - always check permissions

+# Frontend Development Context
+
+**When to load:** Working on NextJS application, UI components, or React Query integration
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+- **Framework:** Next.js 14 (App Router)
+- **UI Library:** Shadcn UI (built on Radix UI primitives)
+- **Styling:** Tailwind CSS
+- **Data Fetching:** TanStack React Query
+- **Primary Directory:** `components/frontend/src/`
+
+## Critical Rules (Zero Tolerance)
+
+### 1. Zero `any` Types
+
+**FORBIDDEN:**
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ BAD
+function processData(data: any) { ... }
+```
+
+**REQUIRED:**
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ GOOD - use proper types
+function processData(data: AgenticSession) { ... }
+
+// ✅ GOOD - use unknown if type truly unknown
+function processData(data: unknown) {
+ if (isAgenticSession(data)) { ... }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Shadcn UI Components Only
+
+**FORBIDDEN:** Creating custom UI components from scratch for buttons, inputs, dialogs, etc.
+
+**REQUIRED:** Use `@/components/ui/*` components
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ BAD
+
+
+// ✅ GOOD
+import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
+
+```
+
+**Available Shadcn components:** button, card, dialog, form, input, select, table, toast, etc.
+**Check:** `components/frontend/src/components/ui/` for full list
+
+### 3. React Query for ALL Data Operations
+
+**FORBIDDEN:** Manual `fetch()` calls in components
+
+**REQUIRED:** Use hooks from `@/services/queries/*`
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ BAD
+const [sessions, setSessions] = useState([])
+useEffect(() => {
+ fetch('/api/sessions').then(r => r.json()).then(setSessions)
+}, [])
+
+// ✅ GOOD
+import { useSessions } from "@/services/queries/sessions"
+const { data: sessions, isLoading } = useSessions(projectName)
+```
+
+### 4. Use `type` Over `interface`
+
+**REQUIRED:** Always prefer `type` for type definitions
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ AVOID
+interface User { name: string }
+
+// ✅ PREFERRED
+type User = { name: string }
+```
+
+### 5. Colocate Single-Use Components
+
+**FORBIDDEN:** Creating components in shared directories if only used once
+
+**REQUIRED:** Keep page-specific components with their pages
+
+```
+app/
+ projects/
+ [projectName]/
+ sessions/
+ _components/ # Components only used in sessions pages
+ session-card.tsx
+ page.tsx # Uses session-card
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Page Structure
+
+```typescript
+// app/projects/[projectName]/sessions/page.tsx
+import { useSessions } from "@/services/queries/sessions"
+import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
+import { Card } from "@/components/ui/card"
+
+export default function SessionsPage({
+ params,
+}: {
+ params: { projectName: string }
+}) {
+ const { data: sessions, isLoading, error } = useSessions(params.projectName)
+
+ if (isLoading) return
Loading...
+ if (error) return Error: {error.message}
+ if (!sessions?.length) return No sessions found
+
+ return (
+
+ {sessions.map(session => (
+
+ {/* ... */}
+
+ ))}
+
+ )
+}
+```
+
+### React Query Hook Pattern
+
+```typescript
+// services/queries/sessions.ts
+import { useQuery, useMutation } from "@tanstack/react-query"
+import { sessionApi } from "@/services/api/sessions"
+
+export function useSessions(projectName: string) {
+ return useQuery({
+ queryKey: ["sessions", projectName],
+ queryFn: () => sessionApi.list(projectName),
+ })
+}
+
+export function useCreateSession(projectName: string) {
+ return useMutation({
+ mutationFn: (data: CreateSessionRequest) =>
+ sessionApi.create(projectName, data),
+ onSuccess: () => {
+ queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ["sessions", projectName] })
+ },
+ })
+}
+```
+
+## Pre-Commit Checklist
+
+- [ ] Zero `any` types (or justified with eslint-disable)
+- [ ] All UI uses Shadcn components
+- [ ] All data operations use React Query
+- [ ] Components under 200 lines
+- [ ] Single-use components colocated
+- [ ] All buttons have loading states
+- [ ] All lists have empty states
+- [ ] All nested pages have breadcrumbs
+- [ ] `npm run build` passes with 0 errors, 0 warnings
+- [ ] All types use `type` instead of `interface`
+
+## Key Files
+
+- `components/frontend/DESIGN_GUIDELINES.md` - Comprehensive patterns
+- `components/frontend/COMPONENT_PATTERNS.md` - Architecture patterns
+- `src/components/ui/` - Shadcn UI components
+- `src/services/queries/` - React Query hooks
+- `src/services/api/` - API client layer
+
+## Recent Issues & Learnings
+
+- **2024-11-18:** Migrated all data fetching to React Query - no more manual fetch calls
+- **2024-11-15:** Enforced Shadcn UI only - removed custom button components
+- **2024-11-10:** Added breadcrumb pattern for nested pages

+# Security Standards Quick Reference
+
+**When to load:** Working on authentication, authorization, RBAC, or handling sensitive data
+
+## Critical Security Rules
+
+### Token Handling
+
+**1. User Token Authentication Required**
+
+```go
+// ALWAYS for user-initiated operations
+reqK8s, reqDyn := GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)
+if reqK8s == nil {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"error": "Invalid or missing token"})
+ c.Abort()
+ return
+}
+```
+
+**2. Token Redaction in Logs**
+
+**FORBIDDEN:**
+
+```go
+log.Printf("Authorization: Bearer %s", token)
+log.Printf("Request headers: %v", headers)
+```
+
+**REQUIRED:**
+
+```go
+log.Printf("Token length: %d", len(token))
+// Redact in URL paths
+path = strings.Split(path, "?")[0] + "?token=[REDACTED]"
+```
+
+**Token Redaction Pattern:** See `server/server.go:22-34`
+
+```go
+// Custom log formatter that redacts tokens
+func customRedactingFormatter(param gin.LogFormatterParams) string {
+ path := param.Path
+ if strings.Contains(path, "token=") {
+ path = strings.Split(path, "?")[0] + "?token=[REDACTED]"
+ }
+ // ... rest of formatting
+}
+```
+
+### RBAC Enforcement
+
+**1. Always Check Permissions Before Operations**
+
+```go
+ssar := &authv1.SelfSubjectAccessReview{
+ Spec: authv1.SelfSubjectAccessReviewSpec{
+ ResourceAttributes: &authv1.ResourceAttributes{
+ Group: "vteam.ambient-code",
+ Resource: "agenticsessions",
+ Verb: "list",
+ Namespace: project,
+ },
+ },
+}
+res, err := reqK8s.AuthorizationV1().SelfSubjectAccessReviews().Create(ctx, ssar, v1.CreateOptions{})
+if err != nil || !res.Status.Allowed {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusForbidden, gin.H{"error": "Unauthorized"})
+ return
+}
+```
+
+**2. Namespace Isolation**
+
+- Each project maps to a Kubernetes namespace
+- User token must have permissions in that namespace
+- Never bypass namespace checks
+
+### Container Security
+
+**Always Set SecurityContext for Job Pods**
+
+```go
+SecurityContext: &corev1.SecurityContext{
+ AllowPrivilegeEscalation: boolPtr(false),
+ ReadOnlyRootFilesystem: boolPtr(false), // Only if temp files needed
+ Capabilities: &corev1.Capabilities{
+ Drop: []corev1.Capability{"ALL"},
+ },
+},
+```
+
+### Input Validation
+
+**1. Validate All User Input**
+
+```go
+// Validate resource names (K8s DNS label requirements)
+if !isValidK8sName(name) {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": "Invalid name format"})
+ return
+}
+
+// Validate URLs for repository inputs
+if _, err := url.Parse(repoURL); err != nil {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": "Invalid repository URL"})
+ return
+}
+```
+
+**2. Sanitize for Log Injection**
+
+```go
+// Prevent log injection with newlines
+name = strings.ReplaceAll(name, "\n", "")
+name = strings.ReplaceAll(name, "\r", "")
+```
+
+## Common Security Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Extracting Bearer Token
+
+```go
+rawAuth := c.GetHeader("Authorization")
+parts := strings.SplitN(rawAuth, " ", 2)
+if len(parts) != 2 || !strings.EqualFold(parts[0], "Bearer") {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"error": "invalid Authorization header"})
+ return
+}
+token := strings.TrimSpace(parts[1])
+// NEVER log token itself
+log.Printf("Processing request with token (len=%d)", len(token))
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Validating Project Access
+
+```go
+func ValidateProjectContext() gin.HandlerFunc {
+ return func(c *gin.Context) {
+ projectName := c.Param("projectName")
+
+ // Get user-scoped K8s client
+ reqK8s, _ := GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)
+ if reqK8s == nil {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"error": "Unauthorized"})
+ c.Abort()
+ return
+ }
+
+ // Check if user can access namespace
+ ssar := &authv1.SelfSubjectAccessReview{
+ Spec: authv1.SelfSubjectAccessReviewSpec{
+ ResourceAttributes: &authv1.ResourceAttributes{
+ Resource: "namespaces",
+ Verb: "get",
+ Name: projectName,
+ },
+ },
+ }
+ res, err := reqK8s.AuthorizationV1().SelfSubjectAccessReviews().Create(ctx, ssar, v1.CreateOptions{})
+ if err != nil || !res.Status.Allowed {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusForbidden, gin.H{"error": "Access denied to project"})
+ c.Abort()
+ return
+ }
+
+ c.Set("project", projectName)
+ c.Next()
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Minting Service Account Tokens
+
+```go
+// Only backend service account can create tokens for runner pods
+tokenRequest := &authv1.TokenRequest{
+ Spec: authv1.TokenRequestSpec{
+ ExpirationSeconds: int64Ptr(3600),
+ },
+}
+
+tokenResponse, err := K8sClient.CoreV1().ServiceAccounts(namespace).CreateToken(
+ ctx,
+ serviceAccountName,
+ tokenRequest,
+ v1.CreateOptions{},
+)
+if err != nil {
+ return fmt.Errorf("failed to create token: %w", err)
+}
+
+// Store token in secret (never log it)
+secret := &corev1.Secret{
+ ObjectMeta: v1.ObjectMeta{
+ Name: fmt.Sprintf("%s-token", sessionName),
+ Namespace: namespace,
+ },
+ StringData: map[string]string{
+ "token": tokenResponse.Status.Token,
+ },
+}
+```
+
+## Security Checklist
+
+Before committing code that handles:
+
+**Authentication:**
+
+- [ ] Using user token (GetK8sClientsForRequest) for user operations
+- [ ] Returning 401 if token is invalid/missing
+- [ ] Not falling back to service account on auth failure
+
+**Authorization:**
+
+- [ ] RBAC check performed before resource access
+- [ ] Using correct namespace for permission check
+- [ ] Returning 403 if user lacks permissions
+
+**Secrets & Tokens:**
+
+- [ ] No tokens in logs (use len(token) instead)
+- [ ] No tokens in error messages
+- [ ] Tokens stored in Kubernetes Secrets
+- [ ] Token redaction in request logs
+
+**Input Validation:**
+
+- [ ] All user input validated
+- [ ] Resource names validated (K8s DNS label format)
+- [ ] URLs parsed and validated
+- [ ] Log injection prevented
+
+**Container Security:**
+
+- [ ] SecurityContext set on all Job pods
+- [ ] AllowPrivilegeEscalation: false
+- [ ] Capabilities dropped (ALL)
+- [ ] OwnerReferences set for cleanup
+
+## Recent Security Issues
+
+- **2024-11-15:** Fixed token leak in logs - added custom redacting formatter
+- **2024-10-20:** Added RBAC validation middleware - prevent unauthorized access
+- **2024-10-10:** Fixed privilege escalation risk - added SecurityContext to Job pods

+# Error Handling Patterns
+
+Consistent error handling patterns across backend and operator components.
+
+## Backend Handler Errors
+
+### Pattern 1: Resource Not Found
+
+```go
+// handlers/sessions.go:350
+func GetSession(c *gin.Context) {
+ projectName := c.Param("projectName")
+ sessionName := c.Param("sessionName")
+
+ reqK8s, reqDyn := GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)
+ if reqK8s == nil {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"error": "Invalid or missing token"})
+ return
+ }
+
+ obj, err := reqDyn.Resource(gvr).Namespace(projectName).Get(ctx, sessionName, v1.GetOptions{})
+ if errors.IsNotFound(err) {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusNotFound, gin.H{"error": "Session not found"})
+ return
+ }
+ if err != nil {
+ log.Printf("Failed to get session %s/%s: %v", projectName, sessionName, err)
+ c.JSON(http.StatusInternalServerError, gin.H{"error": "Failed to retrieve session"})
+ return
+ }
+
+ c.JSON(http.StatusOK, obj)
+}
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+
+- Check `errors.IsNotFound(err)` for 404 scenarios
+- Log errors with context (project, session name)
+- Return generic error messages to user (don't expose internals)
+- Use appropriate HTTP status codes
+
+### Pattern 2: Validation Errors
+
+```go
+// handlers/sessions.go:227
+func CreateSession(c *gin.Context) {
+ var req CreateSessionRequest
+ if err := c.ShouldBindJSON(&req); err != nil {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": "Invalid request body"})
+ return
+ }
+
+ // Validate resource name format
+ if !isValidK8sName(req.Name) {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{
+ "error": "Invalid name: must be a valid Kubernetes DNS label",
+ })
+ return
+ }
+
+ // Validate required fields
+ if req.Prompt == "" {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": "Prompt is required"})
+ return
+ }
+
+ // ... create session
+}
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+
+- Validate early, return 400 Bad Request
+- Provide specific error messages for validation failures
+- Check K8s naming requirements (DNS labels)
+
+### Pattern 3: Authorization Errors
+
+```go
+// handlers/sessions.go:250
+ssar := &authv1.SelfSubjectAccessReview{
+ Spec: authv1.SelfSubjectAccessReviewSpec{
+ ResourceAttributes: &authv1.ResourceAttributes{
+ Group: "vteam.ambient-code",
+ Resource: "agenticsessions",
+ Verb: "create",
+ Namespace: projectName,
+ },
+ },
+}
+
+res, err := reqK8s.AuthorizationV1().SelfSubjectAccessReviews().Create(ctx, ssar, v1.CreateOptions{})
+if err != nil {
+ log.Printf("Authorization check failed: %v", err)
+ c.JSON(http.StatusForbidden, gin.H{"error": "Authorization check failed"})
+ return
+}
+
+if !res.Status.Allowed {
+ log.Printf("User not authorized to create sessions in %s", projectName)
+ c.JSON(http.StatusForbidden, gin.H{"error": "You do not have permission to create sessions in this project"})
+ return
+}
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+
+- Always check RBAC before operations
+- Return 403 Forbidden for authorization failures
+- Log authorization failures for security auditing
+
+## Operator Reconciliation Errors
+
+### Pattern 1: Resource Deleted During Processing
+
+```go
+// operator/internal/handlers/sessions.go:85
+func handleAgenticSessionEvent(obj *unstructured.Unstructured) error {
+ name := obj.GetName()
+ namespace := obj.GetNamespace()
+
+ // Verify resource still exists (race condition check)
+ currentObj, err := config.DynamicClient.Resource(gvr).Namespace(namespace).Get(ctx, name, v1.GetOptions{})
+ if errors.IsNotFound(err) {
+ log.Printf("AgenticSession %s/%s no longer exists, skipping reconciliation", namespace, name)
+ return nil // NOT an error - resource was deleted
+ }
+ if err != nil {
+ return fmt.Errorf("failed to get current object: %w", err)
+ }
+
+ // ... continue reconciliation with currentObj
+}
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+
+- `IsNotFound` during reconciliation is NOT an error (resource deleted)
+- Return `nil` to avoid retries for deleted resources
+- Log the skip for debugging purposes
+
+### Pattern 2: Job Creation Failures
+
+```go
+// operator/internal/handlers/sessions.go:125
+job := buildJobSpec(sessionName, namespace, spec)
+
+createdJob, err := config.K8sClient.BatchV1().Jobs(namespace).Create(ctx, job, v1.CreateOptions{})
+if err != nil {
+ log.Printf("Failed to create job for session %s/%s: %v", namespace, sessionName, err)
+
+ // Update session status to reflect error
+ updateAgenticSessionStatus(namespace, sessionName, map[string]interface{}{
+ "phase": "Error",
+ "message": fmt.Sprintf("Failed to create job: %v", err),
+ })
+
+ return fmt.Errorf("failed to create job: %w", err)
+}
+
+log.Printf("Created job %s for session %s/%s", createdJob.Name, namespace, sessionName)
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+
+- Log failures with full context
+- Update CR status to reflect error state
+- Return error to trigger retry (if appropriate)
+- Include wrapped error for debugging (`%w`)
+
+## Anti-Patterns (DO NOT USE)
+
+### ❌ Panic in Production Code
+
+```go
+// NEVER DO THIS in handlers or operator
+if err != nil {
+ panic(fmt.Sprintf("Failed to create session: %v", err))
+}
+```
+
+**Why wrong:** Crashes the entire process, affects all requests/sessions.
+**Use instead:** Return errors, update status, log failures.
+
+### ❌ Silent Failures
+
+```go
+// NEVER DO THIS
+if err := doSomething(); err != nil {
+ // Ignore error, continue
+}
+```
+
+**Why wrong:** Hides bugs, makes debugging impossible.
+**Use instead:** At minimum, log the error. Better: return or update status.
+
+### ❌ Exposing Internal Errors to Users
+
+```go
+// DON'T DO THIS
+if err != nil {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusInternalServerError, gin.H{
+ "error": fmt.Sprintf("Database query failed: %v", err), // Exposes internals
+ })
+}
+```
+
+**Why wrong:** Leaks implementation details, security risk.
+**Use instead:** Generic user message, detailed log message.
+
+```go
+// DO THIS
+if err != nil {
+ log.Printf("Database query failed: %v", err) // Detailed log
+ c.JSON(http.StatusInternalServerError, gin.H{
+ "error": "Failed to retrieve session", // Generic user message
+ })
+}
+```
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Scenario | HTTP Status | Log Level | Return Error? |
+|----------|-------------|-----------|---------------|
+| Resource not found | 404 | Info | No |
+| Invalid input | 400 | Info | No |
+| Auth failure | 401/403 | Warning | No |
+| K8s API error | 500 | Error | No (user), Yes (operator) |
+| Unexpected error | 500 | Error | Yes |
+| Status update failure (after success) | - | Warning | No |
+| Resource deleted during processing | - | Info | No (return nil) |

+# Kubernetes Client Usage Patterns
+
+When to use user-scoped clients vs. backend service account clients.
+
+## The Two Client Types
+
+### 1. User-Scoped Clients (reqK8s, reqDyn)
+
+**Created from user's bearer token** extracted from HTTP request.
+
+```go
+reqK8s, reqDyn := GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)
+if reqK8s == nil {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"error": "Invalid or missing token"})
+ c.Abort()
+ return
+}
+```
+
+**Use for:**
+
+- ✅ Listing resources in user's namespaces
+- ✅ Getting specific resources
+- ✅ RBAC permission checks
+- ✅ Any operation "on behalf of user"
+
+**Permissions:** Limited to what the user is authorized for via K8s RBAC.
+
+### 2. Backend Service Account Clients (K8sClient, DynamicClient)
+
+**Created from backend service account credentials** (usually cluster-scoped).
+
+```go
+// Package-level variables in handlers/
+var K8sClient *kubernetes.Clientset
+var DynamicClient dynamic.Interface
+```
+
+**Use for:**
+
+- ✅ Writing CRs **after** user authorization validated
+- ✅ Minting service account tokens for runner pods
+- ✅ Cross-namespace operations backend is authorized for
+- ✅ Cleanup operations (deleting resources backend owns)
+
+**Permissions:** Elevated (often cluster-admin or namespace-admin).

+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: List Resources (User Operation)
+
+```go
+// handlers/sessions.go:180
+func ListSessions(c *gin.Context) {
+ projectName := c.Param("projectName")
+
+ // ALWAYS use user token for list operations
+ reqK8s, reqDyn := GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)
+ if reqK8s == nil {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"error": "Invalid token"})
+ return
+ }
+
+ gvr := types.GetAgenticSessionResource()
+ list, err := reqDyn.Resource(gvr).Namespace(projectName).List(ctx, v1.ListOptions{})
+ if err != nil {
+ log.Printf("Failed to list sessions: %v", err)
+ c.JSON(http.StatusInternalServerError, gin.H{"error": "Failed to list sessions"})
+ return
+ }
+
+ c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"items": list.Items})
+}
+```
+
+**Why user token:** User should only see sessions they have permission to view.
+
+### Pattern 2: Create Resource (Validate Then Escalate)
+
+```go
+// handlers/sessions.go:227
+func CreateSession(c *gin.Context) {
+ projectName := c.Param("projectName")
+
+ // Step 1: Get user-scoped clients for validation
+ reqK8s, reqDyn := GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)
+ if reqK8s == nil {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"error": "Unauthorized"})
+ return
+ }
+
+ // Step 2: Validate request body
+ var req CreateSessionRequest
+ if err := c.ShouldBindJSON(&req); err != nil {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": "Invalid request"})
+ return
+ }
+
+ // Step 3: Check user has permission to create in this namespace
+ ssar := &authv1.SelfSubjectAccessReview{
+ Spec: authv1.SelfSubjectAccessReviewSpec{
+ ResourceAttributes: &authv1.ResourceAttributes{
+ Group: "vteam.ambient-code",
+ Resource: "agenticsessions",
+ Verb: "create",
+ Namespace: projectName,
+ },
+ },
+ }
+ res, err := reqK8s.AuthorizationV1().SelfSubjectAccessReviews().Create(ctx, ssar, v1.CreateOptions{})
+ if err != nil || !res.Status.Allowed {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusForbidden, gin.H{"error": "Unauthorized to create sessions"})
+ return
+ }
+
+ // Step 4: NOW use service account to write CR
+ // (backend SA has permission to write CRs in project namespaces)
+ obj := buildSessionObject(req, projectName)
+ created, err := DynamicClient.Resource(gvr).Namespace(projectName).Create(ctx, obj, v1.CreateOptions{})
+ if err != nil {
+ log.Printf("Failed to create session: %v", err)
+ c.JSON(http.StatusInternalServerError, gin.H{"error": "Failed to create session"})
+ return
+ }
+
+ c.JSON(http.StatusCreated, gin.H{"message": "Session created", "name": created.GetName()})
+}
+```
+
+**Why this pattern:**
+
+1. Validate user identity and permissions (user token)
+2. Validate request is well-formed
+3. Check RBAC authorization
+4. **Then** use service account to perform the write
+
+**This prevents:** User bypassing RBAC by using backend's elevated permissions.
+
+## Anti-Patterns (DO NOT USE)
+
+### ❌ Using Service Account for List Operations
+
+```go
+// NEVER DO THIS
+func ListSessions(c *gin.Context) {
+ projectName := c.Param("projectName")
+
+ // ❌ BAD: Using service account bypasses RBAC
+ list, err := DynamicClient.Resource(gvr).Namespace(projectName).List(ctx, v1.ListOptions{})
+
+ c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"items": list.Items})
+}
+```
+
+**Why wrong:** User could access resources they don't have permission to see.
+
+### ❌ Falling Back to Service Account on Auth Failure
+
+```go
+// NEVER DO THIS
+func GetSession(c *gin.Context) {
+ reqK8s, reqDyn := GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)
+
+ // ❌ BAD: Falling back to service account if user token invalid
+ if reqK8s == nil {
+ log.Println("User token invalid, using service account")
+ reqDyn = DynamicClient // SECURITY VIOLATION
+ }
+
+ obj, _ := reqDyn.Resource(gvr).Namespace(project).Get(ctx, name, v1.GetOptions{})
+ c.JSON(http.StatusOK, obj)
+}
+```
+
+**Why wrong:** Bypasses authentication entirely. User with invalid token shouldn't get access via backend SA.
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Operation | Use User Token | Use Service Account |
+|-----------|----------------|---------------------|
+| List resources in namespace | ✅ | ❌ |
+| Get specific resource | ✅ | ❌ |
+| RBAC permission check | ✅ | ❌ |
+| Create CR (after RBAC validation) | ❌ | ✅ |
+| Update CR status | ❌ | ✅ |
+| Delete resource user created | ✅ | ⚠️ (can use either) |
+| Mint service account token | ❌ | ✅ |
+| Create Job for session | ❌ | ✅ |
+| Cleanup orphaned resources | ❌ | ✅ |
+
+**Legend:**
+
+- ✅ Correct choice
+- ❌ Wrong choice (security violation)
+- ⚠️ Context-dependent
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+Before merging code that uses K8s clients:
+
+- [ ] User operations use `GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)`
+- [ ] Return 401 if user client creation fails
+- [ ] RBAC check performed before using service account to write
+- [ ] Service account used ONLY for privileged operations
+- [ ] No fallback to service account on auth failures
+- [ ] Tokens never logged (use `len(token)` instead)

+# React Query Usage Patterns
+
+Standard patterns for data fetching, mutations, and cache management in the frontend.
+
+## Core Principles
+
+1. **ALL data fetching uses React Query** - No manual `fetch()` in components
+2. **Queries for reads** - `useQuery` for GET operations
+3. **Mutations for writes** - `useMutation` for POST/PUT/DELETE
+4. **Cache invalidation** - Invalidate queries after mutations
+5. **Optimistic updates** - Update UI before server confirms
+
+## File Structure
+
+```
+src/services/
+├── api/ # API client layer (pure functions)
+│ ├── sessions.ts # sessionApi.list(), .create(), .delete()
+│ ├── projects.ts
+│ └── common.ts # Shared fetch logic, error handling
+└── queries/ # React Query hooks
+ ├── sessions.ts # useSessions(), useCreateSession()
+ ├── projects.ts
+ └── common.ts # Query client config
+```
+
+**Separation of concerns:**
+
+- `api/`: Pure API functions (no React, no hooks)
+- `queries/`: React Query hooks that use API functions
+
+## Pattern 1: Query Hook (List Resources)
+
+```typescript
+// services/queries/sessions.ts
+import { useQuery } from "@tanstack/react-query"
+import { sessionApi } from "@/services/api/sessions"
+
+export function useSessions(projectName: string) {
+ return useQuery({
+ queryKey: ["sessions", projectName],
+ queryFn: () => sessionApi.list(projectName),
+ staleTime: 5000, // Consider data fresh for 5s
+ refetchInterval: 10000, // Poll every 10s for updates
+ })
+}
+```
+
+**Usage in component:**
+
+```typescript
+// app/projects/[projectName]/sessions/page.tsx
+'use client'
+
+import { useSessions } from "@/services/queries/sessions"
+
+export function SessionsList({ projectName }: { projectName: string }) {
+ const { data: sessions, isLoading, error } = useSessions(projectName)
+
+ if (isLoading) return Loading...
+ if (error) return Error: {error.message}
+ if (!sessions?.length) return No sessions found
+
+ return (
+
+ {sessions.map(session => (
+
+ ))}
+
+ )
+}
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+
+- `queryKey` includes all parameters that affect the query
+- `staleTime` prevents unnecessary refetches
+- `refetchInterval` for polling (optional)
+- Destructure `data`, `isLoading`, `error` for UI states
+
+## Pattern 2: Query Hook (Single Resource)
+
+```typescript
+// services/queries/sessions.ts
+export function useSession(projectName: string, sessionName: string) {
+ return useQuery({
+ queryKey: ["sessions", projectName, sessionName],
+ queryFn: () => sessionApi.get(projectName, sessionName),
+ enabled: !!sessionName, // Only run if sessionName provided
+ staleTime: 3000,
+ })
+}
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+
+- `enabled: !!sessionName` prevents query if parameter missing
+- More specific queryKey for targeted cache invalidation
+
+## Pattern 3: Create Mutation with Optimistic Update
+
+```typescript
+// services/queries/sessions.ts
+import { useMutation, useQueryClient } from "@tanstack/react-query"
+
+export function useCreateSession(projectName: string) {
+ const queryClient = useQueryClient()
+
+ return useMutation({
+ mutationFn: (data: CreateSessionRequest) =>
+ sessionApi.create(projectName, data),
+
+ // Optimistic update: show immediately before server confirms
+ onMutate: async (newSession) => {
+ // Cancel any outgoing refetches (prevent overwriting optimistic update)
+ await queryClient.cancelQueries({
+ queryKey: ["sessions", projectName]
+ })
+
+ // Snapshot current value
+ const previousSessions = queryClient.getQueryData([
+ "sessions",
+ projectName
+ ])
+
+ // Optimistically update cache
+ queryClient.setQueryData(
+ ["sessions", projectName],
+ (old: AgenticSession[] | undefined) => [
+ ...(old || []),
+ {
+ metadata: { name: newSession.name },
+ spec: newSession,
+ status: { phase: "Pending" }, // Optimistic status
+ },
+ ]
+ )
+
+ // Return context with snapshot
+ return { previousSessions }
+ },
+
+ // Rollback on error
+ onError: (err, variables, context) => {
+ queryClient.setQueryData(
+ ["sessions", projectName],
+ context?.previousSessions
+ )
+
+ // Show error toast/notification
+ console.error("Failed to create session:", err)
+ },
+
+ // Refetch after success (get real data from server)
+ onSuccess: () => {
+ queryClient.invalidateQueries({
+ queryKey: ["sessions", projectName]
+ })
+ },
+ })
+}
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```typescript
+// components/sessions/create-session-dialog.tsx
+'use client'
+
+import { useCreateSession } from "@/services/queries/sessions"
+import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
+
+export function CreateSessionDialog({ projectName }: { projectName: string }) {
+ const createSession = useCreateSession(projectName)
+
+ const handleSubmit = (data: CreateSessionRequest) => {
+ createSession.mutate(data)
+ }
+
+ return (
+
+ )
+}
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+
+- `onMutate`: Optimistic update (runs before server call)
+- `onError`: Rollback on failure
+- `onSuccess`: Invalidate queries to refetch real data
+- Use `isPending` for loading states
+
+## Pattern 4: Delete Mutation
+
+```typescript
+// services/queries/sessions.ts
+export function useDeleteSession(projectName: string) {
+ const queryClient = useQueryClient()
+
+ return useMutation({
+ mutationFn: (sessionName: string) =>
+ sessionApi.delete(projectName, sessionName),
+
+ // Optimistic delete
+ onMutate: async (sessionName) => {
+ await queryClient.cancelQueries({
+ queryKey: ["sessions", projectName]
+ })
+
+ const previousSessions = queryClient.getQueryData([
+ "sessions",
+ projectName
+ ])
+
+ // Remove from cache
+ queryClient.setQueryData(
+ ["sessions", projectName],
+ (old: AgenticSession[] | undefined) =>
+ old?.filter(s => s.metadata.name !== sessionName) || []
+ )
+
+ return { previousSessions }
+ },
+
+ onError: (err, sessionName, context) => {
+ queryClient.setQueryData(
+ ["sessions", projectName],
+ context?.previousSessions
+ )
+ },
+
+ onSuccess: () => {
+ queryClient.invalidateQueries({
+ queryKey: ["sessions", projectName]
+ })
+ },
+ })
+}
+```
+
+## Pattern 5: Polling Until Condition Met
+
+```typescript
+// services/queries/sessions.ts
+export function useSessionWithPolling(
+ projectName: string,
+ sessionName: string
+) {
+ return useQuery({
+ queryKey: ["sessions", projectName, sessionName],
+ queryFn: () => sessionApi.get(projectName, sessionName),
+ refetchInterval: (query) => {
+ const session = query.state.data
+
+ // Stop polling if completed or error
+ if (session?.status.phase === "Completed" ||
+ session?.status.phase === "Error") {
+ return false // Stop polling
+ }
+
+ return 3000 // Poll every 3s while running
+ },
+ })
+}
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+
+- Dynamic `refetchInterval` based on query data
+- Return `false` to stop polling
+- Return number (ms) to continue polling
+
+## API Client Layer Pattern
+
+```typescript
+// services/api/sessions.ts
+import { API_BASE_URL } from "@/config"
+import type { AgenticSession, CreateSessionRequest } from "@/types/session"
+
+async function fetchWithAuth(url: string, options: RequestInit = {}) {
+ const token = getAuthToken() // From auth context or storage
+
+ const response = await fetch(url, {
+ ...options,
+ headers: {
+ "Content-Type": "application/json",
+ "Authorization": `Bearer ${token}`,
+ ...options.headers,
+ },
+ })
+
+ if (!response.ok) {
+ const error = await response.json()
+ throw new Error(error.message || "Request failed")
+ }
+
+ return response.json()
+}
+
+export const sessionApi = {
+ list: async (projectName: string): Promise => {
+ const data = await fetchWithAuth(
+ `${API_BASE_URL}/projects/${projectName}/agentic-sessions`
+ )
+ return data.items || []
+ },
+
+ get: async (
+ projectName: string,
+ sessionName: string
+ ): Promise => {
+ return fetchWithAuth(
+ `${API_BASE_URL}/projects/${projectName}/agentic-sessions/${sessionName}`
+ )
+ },
+
+ create: async (
+ projectName: string,
+ data: CreateSessionRequest
+ ): Promise => {
+ return fetchWithAuth(
+ `${API_BASE_URL}/projects/${projectName}/agentic-sessions`,
+ {
+ method: "POST",
+ body: JSON.stringify(data),
+ }
+ )
+ },
+
+ delete: async (projectName: string, sessionName: string): Promise => {
+ return fetchWithAuth(
+ `${API_BASE_URL}/projects/${projectName}/agentic-sessions/${sessionName}`,
+ {
+ method: "DELETE",
+ }
+ )
+ },
+}
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+
+- Shared `fetchWithAuth` for token injection
+- Pure functions (no React, no hooks)
+- Type-safe inputs and outputs
+- Centralized error handling
+
+## Anti-Patterns (DO NOT USE)
+
+### ❌ Manual fetch() in Components
+
+```typescript
+// NEVER DO THIS
+const [sessions, setSessions] = useState([])
+
+useEffect(() => {
+ fetch('/api/sessions')
+ .then(r => r.json())
+ .then(setSessions)
+}, [])
+```
+
+**Why wrong:** No caching, no automatic refetching, manual state management.
+**Use instead:** React Query hooks.
+
+### ❌ Not Using Query Keys Properly
+
+```typescript
+// BAD: Same query key for different data
+useQuery({
+ queryKey: ["sessions"], // Missing projectName!
+ queryFn: () => sessionApi.list(projectName),
+})
+```
+
+**Why wrong:** Cache collisions, wrong data shown.
+**Use instead:** Include all parameters in query key.
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Pattern | Hook | When to Use |
+|---------|------|-------------|
+| List resources | `useQuery` | GET /resources |
+| Get single resource | `useQuery` | GET /resources/:id |
+| Create resource | `useMutation` | POST /resources |
+| Update resource | `useMutation` | PUT /resources/:id |
+| Delete resource | `useMutation` | DELETE /resources/:id |
+| Polling | `useQuery` + `refetchInterval` | Real-time updates |
+| Optimistic update | `onMutate` | Instant UI feedback |
+| Dependent query | `enabled` | Query depends on another |
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+Before merging frontend code:
+
+- [ ] All data fetching uses React Query (no manual fetch)
+- [ ] Query keys include all relevant parameters
+- [ ] Mutations invalidate related queries
+- [ ] Loading and error states handled
+- [ ] Optimistic updates for create/delete (where appropriate)
+- [ ] API client layer is pure functions (no hooks)

+# Repomix Context Switching Guide
+
+**Purpose:** Quick reference for loading the right repomix view based on the task.
+
+## Available Views
+
+The `repomix-analysis/` directory contains 7 pre-generated codebase views optimized for different scenarios:
+
+| File | Size | Use When |
+|------|------|----------|
+| `01-full-context.xml` | 2.1MB | Deep dive into specific component implementation |
+| `02-production-optimized.xml` | 4.2MB | General development work, most common use case |
+| `03-architecture-only.xml` | 737KB | Understanding system design, new team member onboarding |
+| `04-backend-focused.xml` | 403KB | Backend API work (Go handlers, K8s integration) |
+| `05-frontend-focused.xml` | 767KB | UI development (NextJS, React Query, Shadcn) |
+| `06-ultra-compressed.xml` | 10MB | Quick overview, exploring unfamiliar areas |
+| `07-metadata-rich.xml` | 849KB | File structure analysis, refactoring planning |
+
+## Usage Patterns
+
+### Scenario 1: Backend Development
+
+**Task:** Adding a new API endpoint for project settings
+
+**Command:**
+
+```
+"Claude, reference the backend-focused repomix view (04-backend-focused.xml) and help me add a new endpoint for updating project settings."
+```
+
+**Why this view:**
+
+- Contains all backend handlers and types
+- Includes K8s client patterns
+- Focused context without frontend noise
+
+### Scenario 2: Frontend Development
+
+**Task:** Creating a new UI component for RFE workflows
+
+**Command:**
+
+```
+"Claude, load the frontend-focused repomix view (05-frontend-focused.xml) and help me create a new component for displaying RFE workflow steps."
+```
+
+**Why this view:**
+
+- All React components and pages
+- Shadcn UI patterns
+- React Query hooks
+
+### Scenario 3: Architecture Understanding
+
+**Task:** Explaining the system to a new team member
+
+**Command:**
+
+```
+"Claude, using the architecture-only repomix view (03-architecture-only.xml), explain how the operator watches for AgenticSession creation and spawns jobs."
+```
+
+**Why this view:**
+
+- High-level component structure
+- CRD definitions
+- Component relationships
+- No implementation details
+
+### Scenario 4: Cross-Component Analysis
+
+**Task:** Tracing a request from frontend through backend to operator
+
+**Command:**
+
+```
+"Claude, use the production-optimized repomix view (02-production-optimized.xml) and trace the flow of creating an AgenticSession from UI click to Job creation."
+```
+
+**Why this view:**
+
+- Balanced coverage of all components
+- Includes key implementation files
+- Not overwhelmed with test files
+
+### Scenario 5: Quick Exploration
+
+**Task:** Finding where a specific feature is implemented
+
+**Command:**
+
+```
+"Claude, use the ultra-compressed repomix view (06-ultra-compressed.xml) to help me find where multi-repo support is implemented."
+```
+
+**Why this view:**
+
+- Fast to process
+- Good for keyword searches
+- Covers entire codebase breadth
+
+### Scenario 6: Refactoring Planning
+
+**Task:** Planning to break up large handlers/sessions.go file
+
+**Command:**
+
+```
+"Claude, analyze the metadata-rich repomix view (07-metadata-rich.xml) and suggest how to split handlers/sessions.go into smaller modules."
+```
+
+**Why this view:**
+
+- File size and structure metadata
+- Module boundaries
+- Import relationships
+
+### Scenario 7: Deep Implementation Dive
+
+**Task:** Debugging a complex operator reconciliation issue
+
+**Command:**
+
+```
+"Claude, load the full-context repomix view (01-full-context.xml) and help me understand why the operator is creating duplicate jobs for the same session."
+```
+
+**Why this view:**
+
+- Complete implementation details
+- All edge case handling
+- Full operator logic
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Start Broad, Then Narrow
+
+1. **First pass:** Use `03-architecture-only.xml` to understand where the feature lives
+2. **Second pass:** Use component-specific view (`04-backend` or `05-frontend`)
+3. **Deep dive:** Use `01-full-context.xml` for specific implementation details
+
+### Combine with Context Files
+
+For even better results, combine repomix views with context files:
+
+```
+"Claude, load the backend-focused repomix view (04) and the backend-development context file, then help me add user token authentication to the new endpoint."
+```
+
+### Regenerate Periodically
+
+Repomix views are snapshots in time. Regenerate monthly (or after major changes):
+
+```bash
+# Full regeneration
+cd repomix-analysis
+./regenerate-all.sh # If you create this script
+
+# Or manually
+repomix --output 02-production-optimized.xml --config repomix-production.json
+```
+
+**Tip:** Add to monthly maintenance calendar.
+
+## Quick Reference Table
+
+| Task Type | Repomix View | Context File |
+|-----------|--------------|--------------|
+| Backend API work | 04-backend-focused | backend-development.md |
+| Frontend UI work | 05-frontend-focused | frontend-development.md |
+| Security review | 02-production-optimized | security-standards.md |
+| Architecture overview | 03-architecture-only | - |
+| Quick exploration | 06-ultra-compressed | - |
+| Refactoring | 07-metadata-rich | - |
+| Deep debugging | 01-full-context | (component-specific) |
+
+## Maintenance
+
+**When to regenerate:**
+
+- After major architectural changes
+- Monthly (scheduled)
+- Before major refactoring efforts
+- When views feel "stale" (>2 months old)
+
+**How to regenerate:**
+See `.repomixignore` for exclusion patterns. Adjust as needed to balance completeness with token efficiency.

+# ADR-0001: Kubernetes-Native Architecture
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2024-11-21
+**Deciders:** Platform Architecture Team
+**Technical Story:** Initial platform architecture design
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+We needed to build an AI automation platform that could:
+
+- Execute long-running AI agent sessions
+- Isolate execution environments for security
+- Scale based on demand
+- Integrate with existing OpenShift/Kubernetes infrastructure
+- Support multi-tenancy
+
+How should we architect the platform to meet these requirements?
+
+## Decision Drivers
+
+- **Multi-tenancy requirement:** Need strong isolation between projects
+- **Enterprise context:** Red Hat runs on OpenShift/Kubernetes
+- **Resource management:** AI sessions have varying resource needs
+- **Security:** Must prevent cross-project access and resource interference
+- **Scalability:** Need to handle variable workload
+- **Operational excellence:** Leverage existing K8s operational expertise
+
+## Considered Options
+
+1. **Kubernetes-native with CRDs and Operators**
+2. **Traditional microservices on VMs**
+3. **Serverless functions (e.g., AWS Lambda, OpenShift Serverless)**
+4. **Container orchestration with Docker Swarm**
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Chosen option: "Kubernetes-native with CRDs and Operators", because:
+
+1. **Natural multi-tenancy:** K8s namespaces provide isolation
+2. **Declarative resources:** CRDs allow users to declare desired state
+3. **Built-in scaling:** K8s handles pod scheduling and resource allocation
+4. **Enterprise alignment:** Matches Red Hat's OpenShift expertise
+5. **Operational maturity:** Established patterns for monitoring, logging, RBAC
+
+### Consequences
+
+**Positive:**
+
+- Strong multi-tenant isolation via namespaces
+- Declarative API via Custom Resources (AgenticSession, ProjectSettings, RFEWorkflow)
+- Automatic cleanup via OwnerReferences
+- RBAC integration for authorization
+- Native integration with OpenShift OAuth
+- Horizontal scaling of operator and backend components
+- Established operational patterns (logs, metrics, events)
+
+**Negative:**
+
+- Higher learning curve for developers unfamiliar with K8s
+- Requires K8s cluster for all deployments (including local dev)
+- Operator complexity vs. simpler stateless services
+- CRD versioning and migration challenges
+- Resource overhead of K8s control plane
+
+**Risks:**
+
+- CRD API changes require careful migration planning
+- Operator bugs can affect many sessions simultaneously
+- K8s version skew between dev/prod environments
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+**Architecture Components:**
+
+1. **Custom Resources (CRDs):**
+ - AgenticSession: Represents AI execution session
+ - ProjectSettings: Project-scoped configuration
+ - RFEWorkflow: Multi-agent refinement workflows
+
+2. **Operator Pattern:**
+ - Watches CRs and reconciles desired state
+ - Creates Kubernetes Jobs for session execution
+ - Updates CR status with results
+
+3. **Job-Based Execution:**
+ - Each AgenticSession spawns a Kubernetes Job
+ - Job runs Claude Code runner pod
+ - Results stored in CR status, PVCs for workspace
+
+4. **Multi-Tenancy:**
+ - Each project = one K8s namespace
+ - RBAC enforces access control
+ - Backend validates user tokens before CR operations
+
+**Key Files:**
+- `components/manifests/base/*-crd.yaml` - CRD definitions
+- `components/operator/internal/handlers/sessions.go` - Operator reconciliation
+- `components/backend/handlers/sessions.go` - API to CR translation
+
+## Validation
+
+**Success Metrics:**
+
+- ✅ Multi-tenant isolation validated via RBAC tests
+- ✅ Sessions scale from 1 to 50+ concurrent executions
+- ✅ Zero cross-project access violations in testing
+- ✅ Operator handles CRD updates without downtime
+
+**Lessons Learned:**
+
+- OwnerReferences critical for automatic cleanup
+- Status subresource prevents race conditions in updates
+- Job monitoring requires separate goroutine per session
+- Local dev requires kind/CRC for K8s environment

+# ADR-0002: User Token Authentication for API Operations
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2024-11-21
+**Deciders:** Security Team, Platform Team
+**Technical Story:** Security audit revealed RBAC bypass via service account
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+The backend API needs to perform Kubernetes operations (list sessions, create CRs, etc.) on behalf of users. How should we authenticate and authorize these operations?
+
+**Initial implementation:** Backend used its own service account for all operations, checking user identity separately.
+
+**Problem discovered:** This bypassed Kubernetes RBAC, creating a security risk where backend could access resources the user couldn't.
+
+## Decision Drivers
+
+* **Security requirement:** Enforce Kubernetes RBAC at API boundary
+* **Multi-tenancy:** Users should only access their authorized namespaces
+* **Audit trail:** K8s audit logs should reflect actual user actions
+* **Least privilege:** Backend should not have elevated permissions for user operations
+* **Trust boundary:** Backend is the entry point, must validate properly
+
+## Considered Options
+
+1. **User token for all operations (user-scoped K8s client)**
+2. **Backend service account with custom RBAC layer**
+3. **Impersonation (backend impersonates user identity)**
+4. **Hybrid: User token for reads, service account for writes**
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Chosen option: "User token for all operations", because:
+
+1. **Leverages K8s RBAC:** No need to duplicate authorization logic
+2. **Security principle:** User operations use user permissions
+3. **Audit trail:** K8s logs show actual user, not service account
+4. **Least privilege:** Backend only uses service account when necessary
+5. **Simplicity:** One pattern for user operations, exceptions documented
+
+**Exception:** Backend service account ONLY for:
+* Writing CRs after user authorization validated (handlers/sessions.go:417)
+* Minting service account tokens for runner pods (handlers/sessions.go:449)
+* Cross-namespace operations backend is explicitly authorized for
+
+### Consequences
+
+**Positive:**
+
+* Kubernetes RBAC enforced automatically
+* No custom authorization layer to maintain
+* Audit logs reflect actual user identity
+* RBAC violations fail at K8s API, not at backend
+* Easy to debug permission issues (use `kubectl auth can-i`)
+
+**Negative:**
+
+* Must extract and validate user token on every request
+* Token expiration can cause mid-request failures
+* Slightly higher latency (extra K8s API call for RBAC check)
+* Backend needs pattern to fall back to service account for specific operations
+
+**Risks:**
+
+* Token handling bugs could expose security vulnerabilities
+* Token logging could leak credentials
+* Service account fallback could be misused
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+**Pattern 1: Extract User Token from Request**
+
+```go
+func GetK8sClientsForRequest(c *gin.Context) (*kubernetes.Clientset, dynamic.Interface) {
+ rawAuth := c.GetHeader("Authorization")
+ parts := strings.SplitN(rawAuth, " ", 2)
+ if len(parts) != 2 || !strings.EqualFold(parts[0], "Bearer") {
+ return nil, nil
+ }
+ token := strings.TrimSpace(parts[1])
+
+ config := &rest.Config{
+ Host: K8sConfig.Host,
+ BearerToken: token,
+ TLSClientConfig: rest.TLSClientConfig{
+ CAData: K8sConfig.CAData,
+ },
+ }
+
+ k8sClient, _ := kubernetes.NewForConfig(config)
+ dynClient, _ := dynamic.NewForConfig(config)
+ return k8sClient, dynClient
+}
+```
+
+**Pattern 2: Use User-Scoped Client in Handlers**
+
+```go
+func ListSessions(c *gin.Context) {
+ project := c.Param("projectName")
+
+ reqK8s, reqDyn := GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)
+ if reqK8s == nil {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"error": "Invalid or missing token"})
+ c.Abort()
+ return
+ }
+
+ // Use reqDyn for operations - RBAC enforced by K8s
+ list, err := reqDyn.Resource(gvr).Namespace(project).List(ctx, v1.ListOptions{})
+ // ...
+}
+```
+
+**Pattern 3: Service Account for Privileged Operations**
+
+```go
+func CreateSession(c *gin.Context) {
+ // 1. Validate user has permission (using user token)
+ reqK8s, reqDyn := GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)
+ if reqK8s == nil {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"error": "Unauthorized"})
+ return
+ }
+
+ // 2. Validate request body
+ var req CreateSessionRequest
+ if err := c.ShouldBindJSON(&req); err != nil {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": "Invalid request"})
+ return
+ }
+
+ // 3. Check user can create in this namespace
+ ssar := &authv1.SelfSubjectAccessReview{...}
+ res, err := reqK8s.AuthorizationV1().SelfSubjectAccessReviews().Create(ctx, ssar, v1.CreateOptions{})
+ if err != nil || !res.Status.Allowed {
+ c.JSON(http.StatusForbidden, gin.H{"error": "Unauthorized"})
+ return
+ }
+
+ // 4. NOW use service account to write CR (after validation)
+ obj := &unstructured.Unstructured{...}
+ created, err := DynamicClient.Resource(gvr).Namespace(project).Create(ctx, obj, v1.CreateOptions{})
+ // ...
+}
+```
+
+**Security Measures:**
+
+* Token redaction in logs (server/server.go:22-34)
+* Never log token values, only length: `log.Printf("tokenLen=%d", len(token))`
+* Token extraction in dedicated function for consistency
+* Return 401 immediately if token invalid
+
+**Key Files:**
+
+* `handlers/middleware.go:GetK8sClientsForRequest()` - Token extraction
+* `handlers/sessions.go:227` - User validation then SA create pattern
+* `server/server.go:22-34` - Token redaction formatter
+
+## Validation
+
+**Security Testing:**
+
+* ✅ User cannot list sessions in unauthorized namespaces
+* ✅ User cannot create sessions without RBAC permissions
+* ✅ K8s audit logs show user identity, not service account
+* ✅ Token expiration properly handled with 401 response
+* ✅ No tokens found in application logs
+
+**Performance Impact:**
+
+* Negligible (<5ms) latency increase for RBAC validation
+* No additional K8s API calls (RBAC check happens in K8s)

+# ADR-0003: Multi-Repository Support in AgenticSessions
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2024-11-21
+**Deciders:** Product Team, Engineering Team
+**Technical Story:** User request for cross-repo analysis and modification
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+Users needed to execute AI sessions that operate across multiple Git repositories simultaneously. For example:
+
+- Analyze dependencies between frontend and backend repos
+- Make coordinated changes across microservices
+- Generate documentation that references multiple codebases
+
+Original design: AgenticSession operated on a single repository.
+
+How should we extend AgenticSessions to support multiple repositories while maintaining simplicity and clear semantics?
+
+## Decision Drivers
+
+- **User need:** Cross-repo analysis and modification workflows
+- **Clarity:** Need clear semantics for which repo is "primary"
+- **Workspace model:** Claude Code expects a single working directory
+- **Git operations:** Push/PR creation needs per-repo configuration
+- **Status tracking:** Need to track per-repo outcomes (pushed vs. abandoned)
+- **Backward compatibility:** Don't break single-repo workflows
+
+## Considered Options
+
+1. **Multiple repos with mainRepoIndex (chosen)**
+2. **Separate sessions per repo with orchestration layer**
+3. **Multi-root workspace (multiple working directories)**
+4. **Merge all repos into monorepo temporarily**
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Chosen option: "Multiple repos with mainRepoIndex", because:
+
+1. **Claude Code compatibility:** Single working directory aligns with claude-code CLI
+2. **Clear semantics:** mainRepoIndex explicitly specifies "primary" repo
+3. **Flexibility:** Can reference other repos via relative paths
+4. **Status tracking:** Per-repo pushed/abandoned status in CR
+5. **Backward compatible:** Single-repo sessions just have one entry in repos array
+
+### Consequences
+
+**Positive:**
+
+- Enables cross-repo workflows (analysis, coordinated changes)
+- Per-repo push status provides clear outcome tracking
+- mainRepoIndex makes "primary repository" explicit
+- Backward compatible with single-repo sessions
+- Supports different git configs per repo (fork vs. direct push)
+
+**Negative:**
+
+- Increased complexity in session CR structure
+- Clone order matters (mainRepo must be cloned first to establish working directory)
+- File paths between repos can be confusing for users
+- Workspace cleanup more complex with multiple repos
+
+**Risks:**
+
+- Users might not understand which repo is "main"
+- Large number of repos could cause workspace size issues
+- Git credentials management across repos more complex
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+**AgenticSession Spec Structure:**
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: vteam.ambient-code/v1alpha1
+kind: AgenticSession
+metadata:
+ name: multi-repo-session
+spec:
+ prompt: "Analyze API compatibility between frontend and backend"
+
+ # repos is an array of repository configurations
+ repos:
+ - input:
+ url: "https://github.com/org/frontend"
+ branch: "main"
+ output:
+ type: "fork"
+ targetBranch: "feature-update"
+ createPullRequest: true
+
+ - input:
+ url: "https://github.com/org/backend"
+ branch: "main"
+ output:
+ type: "direct"
+ pushBranch: "feature-update"
+
+ # mainRepoIndex specifies which repo is the working directory (0-indexed)
+ mainRepoIndex: 0 # frontend is the main repo
+
+ interactive: false
+ timeout: 3600
+```
+
+**Status Structure:**
+
+```yaml
+status:
+ phase: "Completed"
+ startTime: "2024-11-21T10:00:00Z"
+ completionTime: "2024-11-21T10:30:00Z"
+
+ # Per-repo status tracking
+ repoStatuses:
+ - repoURL: "https://github.com/org/frontend"
+ status: "pushed"
+ message: "PR #123 created"
+
+ - repoURL: "https://github.com/org/backend"
+ status: "abandoned"
+ message: "No changes made"
+```
+
+**Clone Implementation Pattern:**
+
+```python
+# components/runners/claude-code-runner/wrapper.py
+
+def clone_repositories(repos, main_repo_index, workspace):
+ """Clone repos in correct order: mainRepo first, others after."""
+
+ # Clone main repo first to establish working directory
+ main_repo = repos[main_repo_index]
+ main_path = clone_repo(main_repo["input"]["url"], workspace)
+ os.chdir(main_path) # Set as working directory
+
+ # Clone other repos relative to workspace
+ for i, repo in enumerate(repos):
+ if i == main_repo_index:
+ continue
+ clone_repo(repo["input"]["url"], workspace)
+
+ return main_path
+```
+
+**Key Files:**
+- `components/backend/types/session.go:RepoConfig` - Repo configuration types
+- `components/backend/handlers/sessions.go:227` - Multi-repo validation
+- `components/runners/claude-code-runner/wrapper.py:clone_repositories` - Clone logic
+- `components/operator/internal/handlers/sessions.go:150` - Status tracking
+
+**Patterns Established:**
+
+- mainRepoIndex defaults to 0 if not specified
+- repos array must have at least one entry
+- Per-repo output configuration (fork vs. direct push)
+- Per-repo status tracking (pushed, abandoned, error)
+
+## Validation
+
+**Testing Scenarios:**
+
+- ✅ Single-repo session (backward compatibility)
+- ✅ Two-repo session with mainRepoIndex=0
+- ✅ Two-repo session with mainRepoIndex=1
+- ✅ Cross-repo file analysis
+- ✅ Per-repo push status correctly reported
+- ✅ Clone failure in secondary repo doesn't block main repo
+
+**User Feedback:**
+
+- Positive: Enables new workflow patterns (monorepo analysis)
+- Confusion: Initially unclear which repo is "main"
+- Resolution: Added documentation and examples

+# ADR-0004: Go Backend with Python Claude Runner
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2024-11-21
+**Deciders:** Architecture Team
+**Technical Story:** Technology stack selection for platform components
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+We need to choose programming languages for two distinct components:
+
+1. **Backend API:** HTTP server managing Kubernetes resources, authentication, project management
+2. **Claude Code Runner:** Executes claude-code CLI in Job pods
+
+What languages should we use for each component, and should they be the same or different?
+
+## Decision Drivers
+
+* **Backend needs:** HTTP routing, K8s client-go, RBAC, high concurrency
+* **Runner needs:** Claude Code SDK, file manipulation, git operations
+* **Performance:** Backend handles many concurrent requests
+* **Developer experience:** Team expertise, library ecosystems
+* **Operational:** Container size, startup time, resource usage
+* **Maintainability:** Type safety, tooling, debugging
+
+## Considered Options
+
+1. **Go backend + Python runner (chosen)**
+2. **All Python (FastAPI backend + Python runner)**
+3. **All Go (Go backend + Go wrapper for claude-code)**
+4. **Polyglot (Node.js backend + Python runner)**
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Chosen option: "Go backend + Python runner", because:
+
+**Go for Backend:**
+
+1. **K8s ecosystem:** client-go is canonical K8s library
+2. **Performance:** Low latency HTTP handling, efficient concurrency
+3. **Type safety:** Compile-time checks for K8s resources
+4. **Deployment:** Single static binary, fast startup
+5. **Team expertise:** Red Hat strong Go background
+
+**Python for Runner:**
+
+1. **Claude Code SDK:** Official SDK is Python-first (`claude-code-sdk`)
+2. **Anthropic ecosystem:** Python has best library support
+3. **Scripting flexibility:** Git operations, file manipulation easier in Python
+4. **Dynamic execution:** Easier to handle varying prompts and workflows
+
+### Consequences
+
+**Positive:**
+
+* **Backend:**
+ * Fast HTTP response times (<10ms for simple operations)
+ * Small container images (~20MB for Go binary)
+ * Excellent K8s client-go integration
+ * Strong typing prevents many bugs
+
+* **Runner:**
+ * Native Claude Code SDK support
+ * Rich Python ecosystem for git/file operations
+ * Easy to extend with custom agent behaviors
+ * Rapid iteration on workflow logic
+
+**Negative:**
+
+* **Maintenance:**
+ * Two language ecosystems to maintain
+ * Different tooling (go vs. pip/uv)
+ * Different testing frameworks
+
+* **Development:**
+ * Context switching between languages
+ * Cannot share code between backend and runner
+ * Different error handling patterns
+
+**Risks:**
+
+* Python runner startup slower than Go (~1-2s vs. <100ms)
+* Python container images larger (~500MB vs. ~20MB)
+* Dependency vulnerabilities in Python ecosystem
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+**Backend (Go):**
+
+```go
+// Fast HTTP routing with Gin
+r := gin.Default()
+r.GET("/api/projects/:project/sessions", handlers.ListSessions)
+
+// Type-safe K8s client
+clientset, _ := kubernetes.NewForConfig(config)
+sessions, err := clientset.CoreV1().Pods(namespace).List(ctx, v1.ListOptions{})
+```
+
+**Technology Stack:**
+* Framework: Gin (HTTP routing)
+* K8s client: client-go + dynamic client
+* Testing: table-driven tests with testify
+
+**Runner (Python):**
+
+```python
+# Claude Code SDK integration
+from claude_code import AgenticSession
+
+session = AgenticSession(prompt=prompt, workspace=workspace)
+result = session.run()
+```
+
+**Technology Stack:**
+* SDK: claude-code-sdk (>=0.0.23)
+* API client: anthropic (>=0.68.0)
+* Git: GitPython
+* Package manager: uv (preferred over pip)
+
+**Key Files:**
+
+* `components/backend/` - Go backend
+* `components/runners/claude-code-runner/` - Python runner
+* `components/backend/go.mod` - Go dependencies
+* `components/runners/claude-code-runner/requirements.txt` - Python dependencies
+
+**Build Optimization:**
+
+* Go: Multi-stage Docker build, static binary
+* Python: uv for fast dependency resolution, layer caching
+
+## Validation
+
+**Performance Metrics:**
+
+* Backend response time: <10ms for simple operations
+* Backend concurrency: Handles 100+ concurrent requests
+* Runner startup: ~2s (acceptable for long-running sessions)
+* Container build time: <2min for both components
+
+**Developer Feedback:**
+
+* Positive: Go backend very stable, easy to debug
+* Positive: Python runner easy to extend
+* Concern: Context switching between languages
+* Mitigation: Clear component boundaries reduce switching

+ - Responsive design (mobile-first)
+
+**Negative:**
+
+- **Learning curve:**
+ - Next.js App Router is new (released 2023)
+ - Server vs. client component mental model
+ - React Query concepts (queries, mutations, invalidation)
+
+- **Complexity:**
+ - More moving parts than simple SPA
+ - Server component restrictions (no hooks, browser APIs)
+ - Hydration errors if server/client mismatch
+
+**Risks:**
+
+- Next.js App Router still evolving (breaking changes possible)
+- Shadcn UI components need manual updates (not npm package)
+- React Query cache invalidation can be tricky
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+**Technology Versions:**
+
+- Next.js: 14.x (App Router)
+- React: 18.x
+- Shadcn UI: Latest (no version, copy-paste)
+- TanStack React Query: 5.x
+- Tailwind CSS: 3.x
+- TypeScript: 5.x
+
+**Key Files:**
+- `components/frontend/DESIGN_GUIDELINES.md` - Comprehensive patterns
+- `components/frontend/src/components/ui/` - Shadcn components
+- `components/frontend/src/services/queries/` - React Query hooks
+- `components/frontend/src/app/` - Next.js pages
+
+## Validation
+
+**Performance Metrics:**
+
+- Initial page load: <2s (Lighthouse score >90)
+- Client bundle size: <200KB (with code splitting)
+- Time to Interactive: <3s
+- API call reduction: 60% fewer calls (React Query caching)
+
+**Developer Feedback:**
+
+- Positive: React Query simplifies data management significantly
+- Positive: Shadcn components easy to customize
+- Challenge: Server component restrictions initially confusing
+- Resolution: Clear guidelines in DESIGN_GUIDELINES.md
+
+**User Feedback:**
+
+- Fast perceived performance (streaming)

+# Architectural Decision Records (ADRs)
+
+This directory contains Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) documenting significant architectural decisions made for the Ambient Code Platform.
+
+## What is an ADR?
+
+An ADR captures:
+
+- **Context:** What problem were we solving?
+- **Options:** What alternatives did we consider?
+- **Decision:** What did we choose and why?
+- **Consequences:** What are the trade-offs?
+
+ADRs are immutable once accepted. If a decision changes, we create a new ADR that supersedes the old one.
+
+## When to Create an ADR
+
+Create an ADR for decisions that:
+
+- Affect the overall architecture
+- Are difficult or expensive to reverse
+- Impact multiple components or teams
+- Involve significant trade-offs
+- Will be questioned in the future ("Why did we do it this way?")
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- Choosing a programming language or framework
+- Selecting a database or messaging system
+- Defining authentication/authorization approach
+- Establishing API design patterns
+- Multi-tenancy architecture decisions
+
+**Not ADR-worthy:**
+
+- Trivial implementation choices
+- Decisions easily reversed
+- Component-internal decisions with no external impact
+
+## ADR Workflow
+
+1. **Propose:** Copy `template.md` to `NNNN-title.md` with status "Proposed"
+2. **Discuss:** Share with team, gather feedback
+3. **Decide:** Update status to "Accepted" or "Rejected"
+4. **Implement:** Reference ADR in PRs
+5. **Learn:** Update "Implementation Notes" with gotchas discovered
+
+## ADR Status Meanings
+
+- **Proposed:** Decision being considered, open for discussion
+- **Accepted:** Decision made and being implemented
+- **Deprecated:** Decision no longer relevant but kept for historical context
+- **Superseded by ADR-XXXX:** Decision replaced by a newer ADR
+
+## Current ADRs
+
+| ADR | Title | Status | Date |
+|-----|-------|--------|------|
+| [0001](0001-kubernetes-native-architecture.md) | Kubernetes-Native Architecture | Accepted | 2024-11-21 |
+| [0002](0002-user-token-authentication.md) | User Token Authentication for API Operations | Accepted | 2024-11-21 |
+| [0003](0003-multi-repo-support.md) | Multi-Repository Support in AgenticSessions | Accepted | 2024-11-21 |
+| [0004](0004-go-backend-python-runner.md) | Go Backend with Python Claude Runner | Accepted | 2024-11-21 |
+| [0005](0005-nextjs-shadcn-react-query.md) | Next.js with Shadcn UI and React Query | Accepted | 2024-11-21 |

+# Decision Log
+
+Chronological record of significant technical and architectural decisions for the Ambient Code Platform. For formal ADRs, see `docs/adr/`.
+
+**Format:**
+
+- **Date:** When the decision was made
+- **Decision:** What was decided
+- **Why:** Brief rationale (1-2 sentences)
+- **Impact:** What changed as a result
+- **Related:** Links to ADRs, PRs, issues
+
+---
+
+## 2024-11-21: User Token Authentication for All API Operations
+
+**Decision:** Backend must use user-provided bearer token for all Kubernetes operations on behalf of users. Service account only for privileged operations (writing CRs after validation, minting tokens).
+
+**Why:** Ensures Kubernetes RBAC is enforced at API boundary, preventing security bypass. Backend should not have elevated permissions for user operations.
+
+**Impact:**
+
+- All handlers now use `GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)` to extract user token
+- Return 401 if token is invalid or missing
+- K8s audit logs now reflect actual user identity
+- Added token redaction in logs to prevent credential leaks
+
+**Related:**
+
+- ADR-0002 (User Token Authentication)
+- Security context: `.claude/context/security-standards.md`
+- Implementation: `components/backend/handlers/middleware.go`
+
+---
+
+## 2024-11-15: Multi-Repo Support in AgenticSessions
+
+**Decision:** Added support for multiple repositories in a single AgenticSession with `mainRepoIndex` to specify the primary working directory.
+
+**Why:** Users needed to perform cross-repo analysis and make coordinated changes across multiple codebases (e.g., frontend + backend).
+
+**Impact:**
+
+- AgenticSession spec now has `repos` array instead of single `repo`
+- Added `mainRepoIndex` field (defaults to 0)
+- Per-repo status tracking: `pushed` or `abandoned`
+- Clone order matters: mainRepo cloned first to establish working directory
+
+**Related:**
+
+- ADR-0003 (Multi-Repository Support)
+- Implementation: `components/backend/types/session.go`
+- Runner logic: `components/runners/claude-code-runner/wrapper.py`
+
+**Gotchas:**
+
+- Git operations need absolute paths to handle multiple repos
+- Clone order affects workspace initialization
+- Need explicit cleanup if clone fails
+
+---
+
+## 2024-11-10: Frontend Migration to React Query
+
+**Decision:** Migrated all frontend data fetching from manual `fetch()` calls to TanStack React Query hooks.
+
+**Why:** React Query provides automatic caching, optimistic updates, and real-time synchronization out of the box. Eliminates boilerplate state management.
+
+**Impact:**
+
+- Created `services/queries/` directory with hooks for each resource
+- Removed manual `useState` + `useEffect` data fetching patterns
+- Added optimistic updates for create/delete operations
+- Reduced API calls by ~60% through intelligent caching
+
+**Related:**
+
+- Frontend context: `.claude/context/frontend-development.md`
+- Pattern file: `.claude/patterns/react-query-usage.md`
+- Implementation: `components/frontend/src/services/queries/`
+
+---
+
+## 2024-11-05: Adopted Shadcn UI Component Library
+
+**Decision:** Standardized on Shadcn UI for all UI components. Forbidden to create custom components for buttons, inputs, dialogs, etc.
+
+**Why:** Shadcn provides accessible, customizable components built on Radix UI primitives. "Copy-paste" model means we own the code and can customize fully.
+
+**Impact:**
+
+- All existing custom button/input components replaced with Shadcn equivalents
+- Added DESIGN_GUIDELINES.md enforcing "Shadcn UI only" rule
+- Improved accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA compliance)
+- Consistent design language across the platform
+
+**Related:**
+
+- ADR-0005 (Next.js with Shadcn UI and React Query)
+- Frontend guidelines: `components/frontend/DESIGN_GUIDELINES.md`
+- Available components: `components/frontend/src/components/ui/`
+
+---
+
+## 2024-10-20: Kubernetes Job-Based Session Execution
+
+**Decision:** Execute AgenticSessions as Kubernetes Jobs instead of long-running Deployments.
+
+**Why:** Jobs provide better lifecycle management for batch workloads. Automatic cleanup on completion, restart policies for failures, and clear success/failure status.
+
+**Impact:**
+
+- Operator creates Job (not Deployment) for each session
+- Jobs have OwnerReferences pointing to AgenticSession CR
+- Automatic cleanup when session CR is deleted
+- Job status mapped to AgenticSession status
+
+**Related:**
+
+- ADR-0001 (Kubernetes-Native Architecture)
+- Operator implementation: `components/operator/internal/handlers/sessions.go`
+
+**Gotchas:**
+
+- Jobs cannot be updated once created (must delete and recreate)
+- Job pods need proper OwnerReferences for cleanup
+- Monitoring requires separate goroutine per job
+
+---
+
+## 2024-10-15: Go for Backend, Python for Runner
+
+**Decision:** Use Go for the backend API server, Python for the Claude Code runner.
+
+**Why:** Go provides excellent Kubernetes client-go integration and performance for the API. Python has first-class Claude Code SDK support and is better for scripting git operations.
+
+**Impact:**
+
+- Backend built with Go + Gin framework
+- Runner built with Python + claude-code-sdk
+- Two separate container images
+- Different build and test tooling for each component
+
+**Related:**
+
+- ADR-0004 (Go Backend with Python Runner)
+- Backend: `components/backend/`
+- Runner: `components/runners/claude-code-runner/`
+
+---
+
+## 2024-10-01: CRD-Based Architecture
+
+**Decision:** Define AgenticSession, ProjectSettings, and RFEWorkflow as Kubernetes Custom Resources (CRDs).
+
+**Why:** CRDs provide declarative API, automatic RBAC integration, and versioning. Operator pattern allows reconciliation of desired state.
+
+**Impact:**
+
+- Created three CRDs with proper validation schemas
+- Operator watches CRs and reconciles state
+- Backend translates HTTP API to CR operations
+- Users can interact via kubectl or web UI
+
+**Related:**
+
+- ADR-0001 (Kubernetes-Native Architecture)
+- CRD definitions: `components/manifests/base/*-crd.yaml`
