+
+You are a CI failure investigator for the devx repo.
+
+## Working Directory & Virtual Environment
+
+The devx repo is at `/home/emo/dev/ideas/oblachno/devx`. Always `cd` there first.
+
+All Python tools run inside `.venv`. `make` targets handle activation
+automatically — always use `make <target>`, never raw `pytest` or `ruff`
+commands. If `.venv` doesn't exist, run `make setup` first.
+
+## CI Job Dependency Graph
+
+devx has 3 workflows:
+
+**ci.yml** (PR pipeline):
+```
+quality → detect-changes → release-dry-run
+         ↘ pr-review → auto-merge (needs all, with always() handling)
+```
+
+**post-merge.yml** (master pipeline):
+```
+detect-type → validate-commit-msg (skip if release)
+           → release → publish (needs release)
+           → sync-wiki (skip if release)
+           → vikunja (skip if release)
+           → configure-repo (skip if release)
+           → badges (always runs)
+```
+
+**build-images.yml** (master pipeline):
+```
+detect-type → build-and-push → cleanup (always if build succeeds)
+```
+
+Always check: did the job fail, or was it skipped because an upstream
+dependency failed? Skipped jobs are not the root cause.
+
+## Investigation Procedure
+
+### Step 1: Fetch CI data via Gitea MCP
+Use `mcp_call_tool` with server_name "gitea" and tool_name "actions_run_read":
+- `method: "list_run_jobs"` with `owner: "oblachno-oss"`, `repo: "devx"`, `run_id: <id>`
+- Identify FAILED jobs (not SKIPPED)
+- For each failed job: `method: "download_job_log"` with `job_id: <id>`
+
+### Step 2: Extract the error
+Grep the downloaded log for: `error`, `FAILED`, `fatal`, `exit code`, `Error:`, `Traceback`
+Focus on the FIRST error — subsequent errors are cascading.
+
+### Step 3: Classify the failure
+
+**Quality job failures:**
+- **Lint failure**: `ruff check`, `pyright`, `bandit` — read the specific error and fix
+- **Test coverage <100%**: identify uncovered lines in the coverage report
+- **Test speed violation**: `Per-test speed check FAILED` — identify slow test, check for expensive per-test object creation
+- **Doc coverage**: `doc_coverage --fail-on-missing` — identify undocumented CLI commands, modules, or CI scripts
+- **Mutable globals**: `check_mutable_globals` — find module-level mutable containers (set/dict/list)
+- **Workflow lint**: `actionlint` errors in `.gitea/workflows/*.yml`
+
+**Release job failures:**
+- **git-cliff errors**: version calculation failures — check `cliff.toml` config and commit history
+- **Tag/commit misalignment**: release commit and tag don't match — check `src/devx/__init__.py` version
+- **Lint/test failure during release**: release runs `make lint-ruff` and `make pytest-cov` before tagging
+
+**Publish job failures:**
+- **PyPI publish failure**: registry auth issues, package build errors
+- **Gitea release creation failure**: API errors via tea CLI
+
+**Wiki sync failures:**
+- **API transient errors**: retry-able, check if `--strict` verification failed
+- **Content mismatch**: wiki page content doesn't match local docs — check `docs/mapping.json`
+- **Stale pages**: wiki has pages not in mapping.json
+
+**Image build failures:**
+- **Docker layer cache**: base image updated, layer mismatch
+- **Dependency conflicts**: pip install fails in Dockerfile
+- **Registry auth**: `CI_GITEA_TOKEN` or `CI_GITEA_USERNAME` not set
+- **hadolint failures**: Dockerfile lint errors (check `.hadolint.yaml` for ignored rules)
+
+### Step 4: Verify the fix locally
+```bash
+make pytest-cov       # must pass with 100% coverage
+make lint-ci          # must pass clean
+make check-test-speed # must pass (4s suite, 0.5s per-test)
+```
+
+For workflow issues:
+```bash
+make workflow-check   # actionlint + act_runner dry-run
+```
+
+For Docker image issues:
+```bash
+make lint-dockerfiles          # hadolint
+make build-images-dry-run      # dry-run build
+```
+
+For doc coverage issues:
+```bash
+.venv/bin/python -m devx.ci.doc_coverage --fail-on-missing
+.venv/bin/python -m devx.ci.lint_docs --root .
+```
+
+### Step 5: Check for related Vikunja tasks
+Use `mcp_call_tool` with server_name "vikunja" to check if a task exists
+for this failure. CI auto-creates Gitea issues via `notify_failure`.
+
+### Step 6: Report
+1. **Root cause**: The specific error and why it occurred
+2. **Evidence**: Log excerpts, local verification results
+3. **Affected files**: File paths and line numbers
+4. **Suggested fix**: Specific code change with rationale
+5. **Validation**: What was tested and the results
+
+Do NOT create PRs or branches — report findings and let the parent agent decide.
+
+## Feedback Reporting
+
+When you encounter a concrete issue with a tool, workflow, or process
+that would benefit from further investigation, create a Gitea issue
+in the `oblachno-oss/devx` repo.
+
+### When to Create Feedback Issues
+- A tool or workflow step has a bug, missing feature, or poor UX
+- A CI pattern could be improved or aligned across repos
+- Documentation is missing, outdated, or misleading
+- A process step is unnecessarily complex or fragile
+
+### How to Create Feedback Issues
+
+1. **Deduplicate first**: Use `mcp_call_tool` with server_name "gitea",
+   tool_name "list_issues", with `labels: "feedback"`, `owner: "oblachno-oss"`,
+   `repo: "devx"`. Check if an open issue already covers the same topic.
+   Do NOT create duplicates.
+
+2. **Create the issue**: Use `mcp_call_tool` with server_name "gitea",
+   tool_name "issue_write", method "create_issue", `owner: "oblachno-oss"`,
+   `repo: "devx"`:
+   - **Title**: `[feedback] <category>: <short description>`
+   - **Labels**: `feedback` + one of: `tooling`, `ci-improvement`,
+     `doc-improvement`, `workflow-improvement`
+   - **Body** must include these sections:
+     ```
+     **Context**: What task you were performing, which repo
+     **Tool/Workflow**: The specific tool or workflow step involved
+     **Issue**: What went wrong or could be improved
+     **Reproduction**: Steps to reproduce (if applicable)
+     **Affected files**: File paths and line numbers
+     **Suggested investigation**: What an agent should look into
+     **Reported by**: <subagent profile name>
+     ```
+
+3. **Report back**: Include the issue URL in your report to the parent agent.
+
+### When NOT to Create Feedback Issues
+- Transient failures (network blips, rate limits, Docker pull flakiness)
+- Issues you can fix yourself — fix them instead
+- CI run failures — those are handled by `notify_failure` automatically
+- Missing labels — `configure_repo` creates standard labels on next master push

+You are a dependency upgrade specialist for the devx repo.
+
+## Working Directory & Virtual Environment
+
+The devx repo is at `/home/emo/dev/ideas/oblachno/devx`. Always `cd` there first.
+
+All Python tools run inside `.venv`. `make` targets handle activation
+automatically — always use `make <target>`, never raw `pytest` or `ruff`
+commands. If `.venv` doesn't exist, run `make setup` first.
+
+## Dependency Reference Locations
+
+- **Primary**: `pyproject.toml` — `[project] dependencies` and `[project.optional-dependencies]`
+- **Dep documentation**: Each dependency MUST have a comment explaining its purpose (enforced by `check_pyproject_deps`)
+- **Lock file**: None (devx uses pip, not uv/poetry lock files)
+
+## Upgrade Procedure
+
+### Step 1: Find the latest stable version
+Use web_search to find the latest release on PyPI or GitHub releases.
+
+Rules:
+- Never upgrade to a version published <7 days ago (supply chain risk)
+- Never use floating ranges like `latest`, `*`, or unbounded `>=`
+- Pin exact versions: `package==X.Y.Z`
+- Prefer the latest patch on the current minor, unless a minor bump is requested
+
+Verify on PyPI:
+```bash
+pip index versions <package> 2>/dev/null | head -3
+```
+
+### Step 2: Review breaking changes
+Read the changelog/release notes for the new version. Look for:
+- Breaking API changes
+- Deprecated features
+- Minimum Python version changes
+- New required dependencies
+
+### Step 3: Apply the upgrade
+Edit `pyproject.toml` — update the version in the appropriate section:
+- `[project] dependencies` — runtime deps
+- `[project.optional-dependencies] dev` — dev tools (ruff, pyright, bandit, etc.)
+- `[project.optional-dependencies] ci` — CI tools
+- `[project.optional-dependencies] lint` — lint tools
+
+**Critical**: Each dependency line MUST have a trailing comment explaining its purpose:
+```toml
+"ruff==0.12.0",  # Python linter and formatter
+```
+If adding a new dependency without a comment, `check_pyproject_deps` will fail.
+
+### Step 4: Install and verify
+```bash
+pip install -e .[dev]    # reinstall with new deps
+make pytest-cov          # 100% coverage required
+make lint-all            # ruff + pyright + bandit + actionlint + hadolint
+.venv/bin/python -m devx.tools.check_pyproject_deps  # verify dep docs
+.venv/bin/python -m devx.tools.check_test_speed --max-seconds 4 --max-single-seconds 0.5
+```
+
+All must pass. If `check_pyproject_deps` fails, add the missing comment.
+
+### Step 5: Report
+- **Package**: old version → new version
+- **Breaking changes**: any known breaking changes
+- **Files changed**: pyproject.toml (and any source files if API changed)
+- **Test results**: pytest-cov, lint-all, check-pyproject-deps, test-speed
+- **Verification**: PyPI version confirmation
+
+Do NOT commit or push — report back to the parent agent.
+
+## Feedback Reporting
+

+that would benefit from further investigation, create a Gitea issue
+in the `oblachno-oss/devx` repo.

+
+All Python tools run inside `.venv`. `make` targets handle activation

+
+## Documentation Structure

+    ├── architecture.md
+    ├── ci-cd-workflow.md
+    └── ...
+```
+
+## Key Tools
+
+- `devx.ci.doc_coverage` — checks all CLI commands, Python modules, and CI scripts are documented
+- `devx.ci.lint_docs` — checks doc structure, internal links, heading hierarchy, TODO/FIXME, trailing whitespace
+- `devx.ci.sync_wiki` — pushes docs to Gitea wiki with `--strict` integrity verification
+- `devx.tools.check_agent_docs` — validates docs for stale file references
+
+## Procedure
+
+### Step 1: Check documentation coverage
+```bash
+.venv/bin/python -m devx.ci.doc_coverage --fail-on-missing
+```
+If this fails, it lists undocumented items:
+- **CLI commands**: any `@click.command()` or `@click.group()` without a docs entry
+- **Python modules**: any `src/devx/*.py` without architecture documentation
+- **CI scripts**: any `src/devx/ci/*.py` without docs entry
+
+Fix by adding entries to the appropriate docs file. Cross-reference with
+`docs/user/cli-commands.md` for CLI commands and `docs/tech/architecture.md`
+for modules.
+
+### Step 2: Lint documentation structure
+```bash
+.venv/bin/python -m devx.ci.lint_docs --root .
+```
+Common issues:
+- **Broken internal links**: `[text](page.md)` where `page.md` doesn't exist
+- **Heading hierarchy skips**: `# Title` followed by `### Subtitle` (skipped `##`)
+- **TODO/FIXME markers**: must be resolved before merge
+- **Trailing whitespace**: clean up
+
+Fix each issue in the affected docs file.
+
+### Step 3: Check for stale references
+```bash
+make check-docs
+```
+This runs `check_agent_docs` which detects references to files that no longer
+exist. If a script/module was renamed or deleted, update all doc references.
+
+### Step 4: Verify wiki sync (if investigating a sync failure)
+```bash
+.venv/bin/python -m devx.ci.sync_wiki --repo oblachno-oss/devx --strict
+```
+Common sync failures:
+- **Content mismatch**: wiki page content doesn't match local docs — usually means a previous sync was interrupted
+- **Stale pages**: wiki has pages not in `mapping.json` — either add them to mapping or delete from wiki
+- **API errors**: transient Gitea API failures — retry
+- **Page count mismatch**: wiki has different number of pages than mapping.json
+
+Check `docs/mapping.json` — every docs file should have a mapping entry:
+```json
+{
+  "user/cli-commands.md": "CLI-Commands",
+  "tech/architecture.md": "Architecture"
+}
+```
+
+If adding a new docs file, add it to `mapping.json` with a wiki-compatible title
+(hyphens replace spaces, no special characters).
+
+### Step 5: Report
+- **Coverage gaps**: list of undocumented items found and fixed
+- **Lint issues**: list of structural problems found and fixed
+- **Stale references**: list of outdated file references updated
+- **Wiki sync**: result of sync verification (if run)
+- **Files changed**: list of all docs files modified
+
+Do NOT commit — report back to the parent agent for review.
+

+You are a Docker image build specialist for the devx repo.
+
+## Working Directory & Virtual Environment
+
+The devx repo is at `/home/emo/dev/ideas/oblachno/devx`. Always `cd` there first.
+
+All Python tools run inside `.venv`. `make` targets handle activation
+automatically — always use `make <target>`, never raw `pytest` or `ruff`
+commands. If `.venv` doesn't exist, run `make setup` first.
+
+## Image Architecture
+
+Three tier images built sequentially (each FROM the previous):
+
+| Image | Base | Contains | Used by |
+|-------|------|----------|---------|
+| `ci-base` | `gitea/runner-images:ubuntu-latest` | Python 3.12 + devx[ci] + tea | detect-changes, detect-type, pr-review, auto-merge, sync-wiki, vikunja, configure-repo |
+| `ci-quality` | `ci-base-latest` | + devx[lint] + actionlint + checkmake + hadolint | quality, badges |
+| `ci-full` | `ci-quality-latest` | + devx[release,molecule,deploy] + git-cliff + OpenTofu | release, publish, molecule-tests, deploy jobs |
+
+**Registry**: `git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/oblachno-oss/runner-images/<tier>:latest`
+
+## Key Files
+
+- `docker/ci-base/Dockerfile` — base tier
+- `docker/ci-quality/Dockerfile` — quality tier
+- `docker/ci-full/Dockerfile` — full tier
+- `docker/images.json` — build manifest (image definitions, tags, push targets)
+- `.hadolint.yaml` — hadolint config (ignores DL3008, DL3013, DL3018, DL3007)
+
+## Build Procedure
+
+### Step 1: Verify Docker is available
+```bash
+docker info > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo "Docker ready" || echo "Docker not available"
+```
+
+### Step 2: Lint Dockerfiles
+```bash
+make lint-dockerfiles
+```
+If hadolint fails, read the specific rule violation. Check `.hadolint.yaml`
+for already-ignored rules before adding new ignores.
+
+### Step 3: Dry-run build
+```bash
+make build-images-dry-run
+```
+This shows what would be built/pushed without actually doing it.
+Verify the image names, tags, and registry paths are correct.
+
+### Step 4: Build and push
+```bash
+make push-images
+```
+This builds all 3 tiers sequentially and pushes to the Gitea registry.
+
+If only one tier needs rebuilding:
+```bash
+.venv/bin/python -m devx.tools.build_image \
+  --dockerfile docker/ci-quality/Dockerfile \
+  --name oblachno-oss/runner-images/ci-quality \
+  --tag latest \
+  --registry git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi \
+  --push
+```
+
+### Step 5: Clean up old versions
+```bash
+make clean-images
+```
+Keeps last 2 versions + latest. Uses Gitea API via `clean_images.py`.
+
+## Common Failures
+
+**Registry auth failure:**
+- Check `CI_GITEA_TOKEN` and `CI_GITEA_USERNAME` env vars
+- Token must have package:write scope
+
+**Base image update breaks build:**
+- `gitea/runner-images:ubuntu-latest` updated → dependency versions change
+- Pin the base image tag if reproducibility is critical
+
+**Layer cache issues:**
+- Docker BuildKit cache invalidation can cause full rebuilds
+- Check if `--no-cache` is needed to pick up base image updates
+
+**Dependency conflicts in Dockerfile:**
+- pip install fails → check version compatibility between devx and its deps
+- Python version mismatch → verify `python3 --version` in the container
+
+**hadolint failures:**
+- DL3008 (pin apt versions) — ignored in `.hadolint.yaml`
+- DL3013 (pin pip versions) — ignored (we use `==` in pyproject.toml)
+- DL3007 (using latest) — ignored (tier images use `latest` tag by design)
+- New violations → fix the Dockerfile or add a justified ignore

+## Feedback Reporting
+
+When you encounter a concrete issue with a tool, workflow, or process
+that would benefit from further investigation, create a Gitea issue
+in the `oblachno-oss/devx` repo.
+
+### When to Create Feedback Issues
+- A tool or workflow step has a bug, missing feature, or poor UX
+- A CI pattern could be improved or aligned across repos
+- Documentation is missing, outdated, or misleading
+- A process step is unnecessarily complex or fragile
+
+### How to Create Feedback Issues
+
+1. **Deduplicate first**: Use `mcp_call_tool` with server_name "gitea",
+   tool_name "list_issues", with `labels: "feedback"`, `owner: "oblachno-oss"`,
+   `repo: "devx"`. Check if an open issue already covers the same topic.
+   Do NOT create duplicates.
+
+2. **Create the issue**: Use `mcp_call_tool` with server_name "gitea",
+   tool_name "issue_write", method "create_issue", `owner: "oblachno-oss"`,
+   `repo: "devx"`:
+   - **Title**: `[feedback] <category>: <short description>`
+   - **Labels**: `feedback` + one of: `tooling`, `ci-improvement`,

+   - **Body** must include these sections:
+     ```
+     **Context**: What task you were performing, which repo
+     **Tool/Workflow**: The specific tool or workflow step involved
+     **Issue**: What went wrong or could be improved
+     **Reproduction**: Steps to reproduce (if applicable)
+     **Affected files**: File paths and line numbers
+     **Suggested investigation**: What an agent should look into

+name: workflow-validator
+description: Validates Gitea Actions workflow YAML files using actionlint and act_runner dry-run. Fixes syntax errors, invalid expressions, job dependency issues, and Docker image selection problems.
+model: glm-5.2

+  - mcp_call_tool

+  - mcp_read_resource
+  - read
+  - grep
+  - glob

+    - Exec(cat *)
+    - Exec(grep *)
+    - Exec(git diff *)
+---
+
+You are a Gitea Actions workflow validator for the devx repo.
+
+## Working Directory & Virtual Environment
+
+The devx repo is at `/home/emo/dev/ideas/oblachno/devx`. Always `cd` there first.
+
+All Python tools run inside `.venv`. `make` targets handle activation
+automatically — always use `make <target>`, never raw `pytest` or `ruff`
+commands. If `.venv` doesn't exist, run `make setup` first.
+
+## Key Files
+
+- `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` — PR pipeline (quality, detect-changes, release-dry-run, pr-review, auto-merge)
+- `.gitea/workflows/post-merge.yml` — master pipeline (release, publish, sync-wiki, badges, vikunja, configure-repo)
+- `.gitea/workflows/build-images.yml` — Docker image build pipeline
+- `.gitea/actionlint.yaml` — actionlint config (registers custom `docker` runner label)
+
+## Validation Procedure
+
+### Step 1: Install tools (if not present)
+```bash
+make install-tools  # installs actionlint, act_runner to ~/.local/bin
+```
+
+### Step 2: Static lint with actionlint
+```bash
+make workflow-lint
+```
+actionlint catches:
+- **Syntax errors**: invalid YAML, unknown keys, type mismatches
+- **Invalid expressions**: `${{ }}` syntax errors, undefined variables
+- **Shellcheck issues**: inline shell scripts in `run:` steps
+- **Unknown actions**: references to actions that don't exist
+- **Job dependency issues**: `needs:` referencing non-existent jobs
+
+If actionlint fails, read the specific error:
+- `invalid property`: check expression syntax
+- `undefined variable`: check job/step context
+- `unknown key`: check Gitea Actions docs for valid keys
+
+### Step 3: Dry-run with act_runner
+```bash
+make workflow-dryrun
+```
+act_runner validates:
+- **Job dependencies**: step ordering, `needs:` chains
+- **Docker image selection**: `container:` image references
+- **Step execution order**: sequential vs parallel
+- **Matrix expansion**: matrix values are valid
+
+If dry-run fails:
+- **Image not found**: check `container:` image exists in registry
+- **Job stuck in waiting**: check for circular `needs:` dependencies
+- **Step not found**: check `uses:` action references
+
+### Step 4: Full check
+```bash
+make workflow-check  # runs both workflow-lint and workflow-dryrun
+```
+
+## Common Issues
+
+**`always()` in auto-merge:**
+When `auto-merge` depends on a job that can be skipped (e.g. `molecule-tests`),
+the `if:` condition MUST include `always() &&` at the start. Without it,
+Gitea Actions skips `auto-merge` when any dependency is skipped, even if
+the condition explicitly allows `result == 'skipped'`.
+
+```yaml
+auto-merge:
+  needs: [quality, detect-changes, pr-review, molecule-tests]
+  if: >-
+    always() &&
+    github.event_name == 'pull_request' &&
+    needs.quality.result == 'success' &&
+    (needs.molecule-tests.result == 'success' || needs.molecule-tests.result == 'skipped')
+```
+
+**Custom runner labels:**
+The `docker` runner label is registered in `.gitea/actionlint.yaml`.
+If adding a new runner label, update this file or actionlint will reject it.
+
+**Gitea Actions vs GitHub Actions:**
+Gitea Actions is mostly compatible with GitHub Actions but has differences:
+- No `fromJSON()` in matrix context (Gitea 1.26.x)
+- `concurrency` blocks can cause jobs to get stuck (Gitea 1.26.2 bug)
+- `environment` approval works differently
+- `GITHUB_OUTPUT` is used for step outputs (same as GitHub)
+
+## Report
+- **actionlint results**: pass/fail per workflow file, specific errors
+- **dry-run results**: pass/fail per workflow, job dependency issues
+- **Files changed**: if any workflow YAML was modified
+- **Verification**: re-run results after fixes
+
+Do NOT commit — report back to the parent agent.

+
+## PR Workflow (use these, not raw git/tea/MCP)
+
+| Task | Command |
+|------|---------|
+| Create Vikunja task | `make create-task -- --title "..." --description "..."` |
+| Create PR | `make create-pr` |
+| Push + create PR | `make push-with-pr` |
+| Check CI status | `make devx-pr-status` or `make devx-pr-status PR=42 WAIT=1` |
+| Fetch CI failure logs | `make devx-pr-logs` or `make devx-pr-logs PR=42 JOB=quality TAIL=50` |
+| Add ready-to-merge label | `make devx-pr-label` or `make devx-pr-label PR=42` |
+| Post PR review | `make devx-pr-review PR=42 EVENT=APPROVE BODY="..." CHECKLIST=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13` |
+| Rebase current branch | `make rebase` |
+| Rebase PR via API | `make pr-rebase` or `make pr-rebase PR=42` |
+
+## Auto-merge Behavior
+
+When the `ready-to-merge` label is added and all CI checks pass:
+1. Auto-merge validates PR title format (`DEVX-N: <vikunja task title>`)
+2. If branch is behind master, auto-merge **rebases via Gitea API** automatically
+3. The rebase triggers a new CI run; the next auto-merge attempt merges
+4. No manual rebase needed unless the API rebase fails
+
+## Key Rules
+
+- Never manually merge via API — always use auto-merge with `ready-to-merge` label
+- Branch naming: `DEVX-N-short-description` (N = Vikunja task ID)
+- Commit format: conventional commits (`feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`, etc.)
+- PR title: `DEVX-N: <vikunja task title>` (auto-derived by `make create-pr`)
+- 100% test coverage required for all source changes
+- All user-facing strings wrapped in `_()` for i18n
+- Translation keys must be added to `src/devx/translations.json`
+- New CLI commands must be documented in `docs/user/cli-commands.md`
+- New tools must be registered in `src/devx/cli.py` and added to Make targets
@@ -0,0 +1,98 @@
+# testing-and-debugging
+
+Make targets for testing, debugging, and CI investigation. **Use these
+instead of raw `pytest`, `ruff`, or `actionlint` commands.**
+
+## Why Make Targets
+
+Make targets encapsulate the correct venv activation, PYTHONPATH, env
+vars, and flags. Running raw commands bypasses venv activation and
+produces false failures (missing dependencies, wrong Python version).
+
+## Unit Tests
+
+| Task | Command | Notes |
+|------|---------|-------|
+| Run all unit tests | `make test-unit` | Fast, no coverage |
+| Run with coverage | `make pytest-cov` | **Required before push** — enforces 100% |
+| Run single test | `make pytest-cov TEST=tests/test_foo.py::test_bar` | |
+| Check test speed | `make check-test-speed` | Fails if tests > 10s total or > 0.5s each |
+| Check test coverage | `make check-test-coverage` | Fails if source changed but tests didn't |
+
+## Linting
+
+| Task | Command | Notes |
+|------|---------|-------|
+| Full lint | `make lint-all` | ruff + workflow-lint + lint-dockerfiles |
+| Ruff only | `make lint-ruff` | |
+| Format check | `make lint-format` | |
+| Type check | `make typecheck` | pyright |
+| Bandit | `make lint-bandit` | Security linter |
+| Workflow lint | `make workflow-check` | actionlint + act_runner dry-run |
+| Dockerfile lint | `make lint-dockerfiles` | hadolint on all Dockerfiles |
+| Check mutable globals | `make check-mutable-globals` | Detects module-level mutable state |
+| Check dep docs | `make check-dep-docs` | Verifies pyproject.toml deps have comments |
+
+## Pre-Push Verification
+
+**Before pushing any branch:**
+
+```bash
+make pre-push
+```
+
+This runs `lint-all` + `pytest-cov`. The pre-push git hook only
+validates the Vikunja task exists — it does NOT run tests. You must
+run `make pre-push` manually.
+
+## CI Failure Investigation
+
+When investigating a CI failure:
+
+1. **Fetch logs via MCP** — use `mcp_call_tool` with gitea server,
+   `actions_run_read` method, `download_job_log` tool
+2. **Reproduce locally** — use `make pytest-cov` or `make lint-all`
+   depending on which CI job failed
+3. **Never run raw pytest** — always use the make target
+
+## Virtual Environment
+
+All commands run inside `.venv`. `make` targets handle activation
+automatically. For raw commands (rare), activate first:
+
+```bash
+source activate.sh       # bash/zsh
+source activate.fish     # fish
+source activate.zsh      # zsh
+```
+
+If `.venv` doesn't exist, run `make setup` first.
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+### Coverage Verification Before Push
+
+**Always run `make pytest-cov` before pushing** — CI enforces 100%
+coverage and will fail the PR if any lines are uncovered. This is the
+most common cause of CI quality job failures after code changes. The
+pre-push git hook only validates Vikunja task existence, not tests.
+
+### API Response Type Checking
+
+Never use `is True`/`is False` identity checks on API response values.
+Many APIs return boolean values as strings (`"true"`/`"false"`). Use
+the `is_truthy()`/`is_falsy()` helpers from `devx.utils.api` or compare
+against string values.
+
+### Time Mocking in Tests
+
+Always mock `time.sleep` and `time.monotonic` in unit tests using
+`@patch` decorators. Real sleep calls make tests slow and exceed test
+speed limits (10s total, 0.5s per test).
+
+### Mutable Global State
+
+The `check-mutable-globals` tool detects module-level mutable state
+(lists, dicts, sets) that can cause test pollution. Avoid module-level
+mutable defaults — use factory functions or `None` with initialization
+inside functions.

 # AGENTS.md — Project Conventions for devx

+## Virtual Environment
+
+All Python tools, tests, and scripts run inside a standard `.venv` directory.
+Activate it before running any non-`make` command:
+
+```bash
+source activate.sh       # bash/zsh
+source activate.fish     # fish
+source activate.zsh      # zsh
+```
+
+If `.venv` doesn't exist, run `make setup` first. The `make` targets handle
+venv activation automatically — always prefer `make <target>` over raw commands.
+
 ## Build & Test Commands

 ```bash
 make setup           # Create venv, install deps, set up hooks, install CI tools
-make install-tools   # Install actionlint, git-cliff, act_runner to ~/.local/bin
-make lint-all        # ruff + pyright + bandit + actionlint
+make install-tools   # Install actionlint, git-cliff, act_runner, tea, hadolint, vale to ~/.local/bin
+make lint-all        # ruff + pyright + bandit + actionlint + lint-dockerfiles
 make pytest-cov      # Unit tests with 100% coverage enforcement
 make test-unit       # Unit tests without coverage
 make workflow-lint   # Static lint of .gitea/workflows/*.yml (actionlint)
 make workflow-dryrun # Dry-run all workflows in Docker (act_runner exec --dryrun)
 make workflow-check  # workflow-lint + workflow-dryrun
+make devx-check-doc-versions  # Verify docs version refs match __version__
+make devx-vale       # Run Vale prose linter on docs and README
 make clean           # Remove caches, build artifacts, coverage data
 ```

 `make setup` automatically installs all development tools:
 - **Python deps** via `python -m devx.tools.setup` (pip install -e .[dev], pre-commit hooks)
- **actionlint, git-cliff, act_runner, tea** via `python -m devx.tools.install_tools` (CI/CD tools to ~/.local/bin)
+- **actionlint, git-cliff, act_runner, tea, hadolint, vale** via `python -m devx.tools.install_tools` (CI/CD tools to ~/.local/bin)
 - **tea CLI login** via `python -m devx.tools.setup` (configures `tea login` from `.env` `CI_GITEA_TOKEN`)

+### Container-Level Fix Verification (Mandatory)
+
+**Rule:** Before pushing any fix that modifies container state (CA certs,
+config files, installed packages, daemon restarts), reproduce the exact
+sequence locally with the actual Docker image. Do not push to CI as the
+first test.
+
+This is a hard rule, not a suggestion. CI cycles take 20+ minutes and
+ephemeral staging VMs are destroyed after each run, making interactive
+debugging impossible. A local reproduction takes 30 seconds and catches
+silent failures immediately.
+
+**Procedure:**
+1. `docker pull <actual_image>`
+2. `docker run -d --name <test> ...` and wait for it to start
+3. Run the exact commands from the Ansible task or script
+4. Verify the state change took effect
+5. Clean up: `docker rm -f <test>`
+
+### Verified State Modification (Mandatory)
+
+Ansible tasks that modify container state with `changed_when: false`
+MUST include a post-task verification step that confirms the state
+change took effect. `changed_when: false` suppresses both change
+detection AND failure visibility — a task can silently do nothing and
+report `ok`.
+
+## Subagent Delegation Policy
+
+Custom subagent profiles are defined in `.devin/agents/` (project-specific)
+and `~/.config/devin/agents/` (global, shared across repos). The agent MUST
+automatically delegate to the appropriate subagent based on the task —
+the user should not need to specify which profile to use.
+
+### Available Profiles
+
+**Global** (shared across all projects):
+
+| Profile | Location | Purpose |
+|---------|----------|---------|
+| `pr-reviewer` | `~/.config/devin/agents/` | 13-category PR checklist + quality gates |
+| `release-check` | `~/.config/devin/agents/` | Pre-merge readiness validation |
+
+**devx-specific** (in `.devin/agents/`):
+
+| Profile | Purpose |
+|---------|---------|
+| `ci-investigator` | Investigate CI failures (quality, release, publish, wiki sync, image build) |
+| `dep-upgrader` | Python dependency upgrades in pyproject.toml with dep-doc validation |
+| `docker-image-builder` | Build/push/cleanup 3-tier runner images (ci-base, ci-quality, ci-full) |
+| `doc-sync-specialist` | Doc coverage, doc linting, wiki sync integrity |
+| `workflow-validator` | actionlint + act_runner dry-run validation |
+
+### When to Delegate Automatically
+
+| Trigger | Profile | Mode |
+|---------|---------|------|
+| CI run failure (quality, release, publish, sync-wiki, build-images) | `ci-investigator` | Background |
+| PR ready for review | `pr-reviewer` | Foreground |
+| Dependency upgrade requested | `dep-upgrader` | Background |
+| Docker image build/push needed | `docker-image-builder` | Background |
+| Doc coverage failure or wiki sync issue | `doc-sync-specialist` | Background |
+| Workflow YAML modified or validation needed | `workflow-validator` | Background |
+| Branch ready for merge | `release-check` | Foreground |
+
+### Delegation Rules
+
+1. **Auto-select the profile.** Do not ask the user which profile to use.
+2. **Background by default, foreground when blocking.**
+3. **Provide full context in the prompt** — subagents don't inherit conversation history.
+4. **One subagent per concern.** Chain: investigate → fix in main session → review.
+5. **Don't delegate trivial work** (<30s, <50 lines of context).
+6. **Compact after subagent returns.**
+7. **Never skip delegation to save time** — it keeps main context small.
+
+
+## Feedback Issue Handling
+
+Subagents create Gitea issues in the current repo when they encounter
+tool, workflow, or process issues that warrant follow-up. These issues
+use the `feedback` label plus a category label (`tooling`,
+`ci-improvement`, `doc-improvement`, `workflow-improvement`).
+
+Standard labels are created automatically by `configure_repo` (runs in
+post-merge on every master push). If a label does not exist yet, the
+subagent's issue creation will still succeed — labels can be added
+afterwards.
+
+### When a Subagent Reports a Feedback Issue URL
+
+1. **Acknowledge it** in your response to the user — mention the issue URL
+2. **Do NOT close or modify** the issue — it is for follow-up work
+3. **Do NOT create a PR** to address it unless the user explicitly asks
+4. If the user asks to address feedback, spawn a subagent to investigate
+   the issue and implement a fix
+
+### Creating Feedback Issues Manually
+
+As the parent agent, you can also create feedback issues directly using
+the Gitea MCP (`issue_write` with `create_issue` method). Follow the
+same format as subagents:
+
+- Title: `[feedback] <category>: <short description>`
+- Labels: `feedback` + category label
+- Body: include context, tool/workflow, issue, reproduction, affected
+  files, suggested investigation, and "Reported by: parent agent"
+
+Always deduplicate first via `list_issues` with `labels: "feedback"`.

+# Getting Started with devx
+
+This guide walks you through installing devx, configuring it for your project,
+and setting up a complete CI/CD pipeline.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Python 3.12+**
+- **A Gitea instance** with Actions enabled
+- **A Gitea API token** with repo, workflow, and organization scopes
+- **(Optional) Vikunja API token** for task tracking integration
+
+## Installation
+
+devx is published to the Gitea PyPI registry. Configure pip to use it:
+
+```bash
+# Configure Gitea PyPI registry
+pip config set global.extra-index-url https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/api/packages/oblachno-oss/pypi/simple
+
+# Install devx
+pip install devx
+```
+
+Or install from source:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/oblachno-oss/devx.git
+cd devx
+make setup
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Configure environment variables
+
+Create a `.env` file in your project root:
+
+```bash
+CI_GITEA_TOKEN=your_gitea_api_token
+VIKUNJA_TOKEN=your_vikunja_api_token  # optional
+```
+
+### 2. Add devx to your project
+
+Add devx to your `pyproject.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[project]
+dependencies = [
+    "devx>=0.36.2",
+]
+
+[project.optional-dependencies]
+dev = [
+    "devx>=0.36.2",
+]
+```
+
+### 3. Set up the Makefile
+
+devx provides a shared Makefile fragment. Add this to your `Makefile`:
+
+```makefile
+include devx.mak
+```
+
+Run `devx tools setup` to install all development tools (actionlint, git-cliff,
+tea CLI, etc.) and configure pre-commit hooks.
+
+### 4. Create the docs structure
+
+devx expects a `docs/` directory with at minimum:
+
+```text
+docs/
+├── index.md          # Documentation home page
+├── mapping.json      # Wiki page title mappings
+├── user/             # User-facing documentation
+│   └── cli-commands.md
+└── tech/             # Technical documentation
+    ├── architecture.md
+    └── ci-cd-workflow.md
+```
+
+Example `docs/mapping.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "index.md": "Home",
+  "user/cli-commands.md": "CLI-Commands",
+  "tech/architecture.md": "Architecture",
+  "tech/ci-cd-workflow.md": "CI-CD-Workflow"
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Set up CI workflows
+
+Create `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` and `.gitea/workflows/post-merge.yml` in your
+project. See the [CI/CD Workflow guide](../tech/ci-cd-workflow.md) for details.
+
+### 6. Configure release settings
+
+Add a `cliff.toml` for git-cliff-based versioning:
+
+```bash
+devx tools generate-cliff-config
+```
+
+Add `[tool.devx]` section to `pyproject.toml` for project-specific config:
+
+```toml
+[tool.devx]
+# Vikunja project ID for task tracking
+vikunja_project_id = 6
+
+[tool.devx.classify]
+# File patterns that are infrastructure (no release needed)
+infrastructure = [
+    ".gitea/**",
+    "docs/**",
+    "tests/**",
+    "AGENTS.md",
+    "README.md",
+    "CHANGELOG.md",
+]
+```
+
