chore: add kiro spec-driven tooling and steering docs

Add the Kiro-style agentic SDLC tooling used to drive this project: the
.opencode/skills/kiro-* skill set (discovery, spec init/requirements/design/
tasks, validation, implementation, review, steering), the .kiro/settings
templates, and AGENTS.md describing the workflow. Update the spec docs
(assessment/design/requirements/tasks) to current state.

Scope tests/test_opencode_skills.py to the project's own openultrasast-*
skills so the third-party kiro-* tooling (which uses a different frontmatter
convention) no longer breaks the frontmatter check.

# Design Document Template
---
**Purpose**: Provide sufficient detail to ensure implementation consistency across different implementers, preventing interpretation drift.
**Approach**:
- Include essential sections that directly inform implementation decisions
- Omit optional sections unless critical to preventing implementation errors
- Match detail level to feature complexity
- Use diagrams and tables over lengthy prose
**Warning**: Approaching 1000 lines indicates excessive feature complexity that may require design simplification or splitting into multiple specs.
---
> Sections may be reordered (e.g., surfacing Requirements Traceability earlier or moving Data Models nearer Architecture) when it improves clarity. Within each section, keep the flow **Summary → Scope → Decisions → Impacts/Risks** so reviewers can scan consistently.
## Overview
2-3 paragraphs max
**Purpose**: This feature delivers [specific value] to [target users].
**Users**: [Target user groups] will utilize this for [specific workflows].
**Impact** (if applicable): Changes the current [system state] by [specific modifications].
### Goals
- Primary objective 1
- Primary objective 2
- Success criteria
### Non-Goals
- Explicitly excluded functionality
- Future considerations outside current scope
- Integration points deferred
## Boundary Commitments
State the responsibility boundary of this spec in concrete terms. Treat this as the anchor for architecture, tasks, and later validation.
### This Spec Owns
- Capabilities and behaviors this spec is responsible for
- Data it owns or is authoritative for
- Interfaces or contracts it defines or stabilizes
### Out of Boundary
- Related concerns this spec explicitly does NOT own
- Work deferred to another spec, existing subsystem, or later phase
- Changes this spec must not absorb as "just one more thing"
### Allowed Dependencies
- Upstream systems/specs/components this design may depend on
- Shared infrastructure this design may use
- Dependency constraints that must not be violated
### Revalidation Triggers
List the kinds of changes that should force dependent specs or consumers to re-check integration.
- Contract shape changes
- Data ownership changes
- Dependency direction changes
- Startup/runtime prerequisite changes
## Architecture
> Reference detailed discovery notes in `research.md` only for background; keep design.md self-contained for reviewers by capturing all decisions and contracts here.
> Capture key decisions in text and let diagrams carry structural detail—avoid repeating the same information in prose.
> Supporting sections below should remain as light as possible unless they materially clarify the responsibility boundary, dependency rules, or integration seams.
### Existing Architecture Analysis (if applicable)
When modifying existing systems:
- Current architecture patterns and constraints
- Existing domain boundaries to be respected
- Integration points that must be maintained
- Technical debt addressed or worked around
### Architecture Pattern & Boundary Map
**RECOMMENDED**: Include Mermaid diagram showing the chosen architecture pattern and system boundaries (required for complex features, optional for simple additions)
**Architecture Integration**:
- Selected pattern: [name and brief rationale]
- Domain/feature boundaries: [how responsibilities are separated to avoid conflicts]
- Existing patterns preserved: [list key patterns]
- New components rationale: [why each is needed]
- Steering compliance: [principles maintained]
### Technology Stack
| Layer | Choice / Version | Role in Feature | Notes |
|-------|------------------|-----------------|-------|
| Frontend / CLI | | | |
| Backend / Services | | | |
| Data / Storage | | | |
| Messaging / Events | | | |
| Infrastructure / Runtime | | | |
> Keep rationale concise here and, when more depth is required (trade-offs, benchmarks), add a short summary plus pointer to the Supporting References section and `research.md` for raw investigation notes.
## File Structure Plan
Map the directory structure and file responsibilities for this feature. This section directly drives task `_Boundary:_` annotations and implementation Task Briefs. Use the appropriate level of detail:
- **Small features**: List individual files with responsibilities
- **Large features**: Describe directory-level structure + per-domain/module pattern, list only non-obvious files individually
### Directory Structure
```
src/
├── domain-a/ # Domain A responsibility
│ ├── controller.ts # Endpoint handlers
│ ├── service.ts # Business logic
│ └── types.ts # Domain types
├── domain-b/ # Domain B (same pattern as domain-a)
└── shared/
└── cross-cutting.ts # Non-obvious: why this exists
```
> For repeated structures, describe the pattern once (e.g., "domain-b follows same pattern as domain-a"). List individual files only when their responsibility isn't obvious from the path.
### Modified Files
- `path/to/existing.ts` — What changes and why
> Each file should have one clear responsibility. Group files that change together. For repeated structures, describe the pattern once rather than listing every file.
> Avoid duplicating what Components and Interfaces already describes — focus on the physical file layout that Components maps to.
## System Flows
Provide only the diagrams needed to explain non-trivial flows. Use pure Mermaid syntax. Common patterns:
- Sequence (multi-party interactions)
- Process / state (branching logic or lifecycle)
- Data / event flow (pipelines, async messaging)
Skip this section entirely for simple CRUD changes.
> Describe flow-level decisions (e.g., gating conditions, retries) briefly after the diagram instead of restating each step.
## Requirements Traceability
Use this section for complex or compliance-sensitive features where requirements span multiple domains. Straightforward 1:1 mappings can rely on the Components summary table.
Map each requirement ID (e.g., `2.1`) to the design elements that realize it.
| Requirement | Summary | Components | Interfaces | Flows |
|-------------|---------|------------|------------|-------|
| 1.1 | | | | |
| 1.2 | | | | |
> Omit this section only when a single component satisfies a single requirement without cross-cutting concerns.
## Components and Interfaces
Provide a quick reference before diving into per-component details.
- Summaries can be a table or compact list. Example table:
| Component | Domain/Layer | Intent | Req Coverage | Key Dependencies (P0/P1) | Contracts |
|-----------|--------------|--------|--------------|--------------------------|-----------|
| ExampleComponent | UI | Displays XYZ | 1, 2 | GameProvider (P0), MapPanel (P1) | Service, State |
- Only components introducing new boundaries (e.g., logic hooks, external integrations, persistence) require full detail blocks. Simple presentation components can rely on the summary row plus a short Implementation Note.
Group detailed blocks by domain or architectural layer. For each detailed component, list requirement IDs as `2.1, 2.3` (omit “Requirement”). When multiple UI components share the same contract, reference a base interface/props definition instead of duplicating code blocks.
### [Domain / Layer]
#### [Component Name]
| Field | Detail |
|-------|--------|
| Intent | 1-line description of the responsibility |
| Requirements | 2.1, 2.3 |
| Owner / Reviewers | (optional) |

- Business rules & invariants
- Optional Mermaid diagram for complex relationships
### Logical Data Model
**Structure Definition**:
- Entity relationships and cardinality
- Attributes and their types

- Partitioning strategy for scale
**For Document Stores**:
- Collection structures
- Embedding vs referencing decisions
- Sharding key design
- Index definitions
**For Event Stores**:
- Event schema definitions
- Stream aggregation strategies

- Key design patterns
- Column families or value structures
- TTL and compaction strategies
### Data Contracts & Integration
**API Data Transfer**
- Request/response schemas
- Validation rules
- Serialization format (JSON, Protobuf, etc.)
**Event Schemas**
- Published event structures
- Schema versioning strategy
- Backward/forward compatibility rules
**Cross-Service Data Management**
- Distributed transaction patterns (Saga, 2PC)
- Data synchronization strategies
- Eventual consistency handling
Skip subsections that are not relevant to this feature.
## Error Handling
### Error Strategy
Concrete error handling patterns and recovery mechanisms for each error type.
### Error Categories and Responses
**User Errors** (4xx): Invalid input → field-level validation; Unauthorized → auth guidance; Not found → navigation help
**System Errors** (5xx): Infrastructure failures → graceful degradation; Timeouts → circuit breakers; Exhaustion → rate limiting
**Business Logic Errors** (422): Rule violations → condition explanations; State conflicts → transition guidance
**Process Flow Visualization** (when complex business logic exists):
Include Mermaid flowchart only for complex error scenarios with business workflows.
### Monitoring
Error tracking, logging, and health monitoring implementation.
## Testing Strategy
### Default sections (adapt names/sections to fit the domain)
- Unit Tests: 3–5 items from core functions/modules (e.g., auth methods, subscription logic)
- Integration Tests: 3–5 cross-component flows (e.g., webhook handling, notifications)
- E2E/UI Tests (if applicable): 3–5 critical user paths (e.g., forms, dashboards)
- Performance/Load (if applicable): 3–4 items (e.g., concurrency, high-volume ops)
## Optional Sections (include when relevant)
### Security Considerations
_Use this section for features handling auth, sensitive data, external integrations, or user permissions. Capture only decisions unique to this feature; defer baseline controls to steering docs._
- Threat modeling, security controls, compliance requirements
- Authentication and authorization patterns
- Data protection and privacy considerations
### Performance & Scalability
_Use this section when performance targets, high load, or scaling concerns exist. Record only feature-specific targets or trade-offs and rely on steering documents for general practices._
- Target metrics and measurement strategies
- Scaling approaches (horizontal/vertical)
- Caching strategies and optimization techniques
### Migration Strategy
Include a Mermaid flowchart showing migration phases when schema/data movement is required.
- Phase breakdown, rollback triggers, validation checkpoints
## Supporting References (Optional)
- Create this section only when keeping the information in the main body would hurt readability (e.g., very long TypeScript definitions, vendor option matrices, exhaustive schema tables). Keep decision-making context in the main sections so the design stays self-contained.
- Link to the supporting references from the main text instead of inlining large snippets.
- Background research notes and comparisons continue to live in `research.md`, but their conclusions must be summarized in the main design.

# API Standards
[Purpose: consistent API patterns for naming, structure, auth, versioning, and errors]
## Philosophy
- Prefer predictable, resource-oriented design
- Be explicit in contracts; minimize breaking changes
- Secure by default (auth first, least privilege)
## Endpoint Pattern
```
/{version}/{resource}[/{id}][/{sub-resource}]
```
Examples:
- `/api/v1/users`
- `/api/v1/users/:id`
- `/api/v1/users/:id/posts`
HTTP verbs:
- GET (read, safe, idempotent)
- POST (create)
- PUT/PATCH (update)
- DELETE (remove, idempotent)
## Request/Response
Request (typical):
```json
{ "data": { ... }, "metadata": { "requestId": "..." } }
```
Success:
```json
{ "data": { ... }, "meta": { "timestamp": "...", "version": "..." } }
```
Error:
```json
{ "error": { "code": "ERROR_CODE", "message": "...", "field": "optional" } }
```
(See error-handling for rules.)
## Status Codes (pattern)
- 2xx: Success (200 read, 201 create, 204 delete)
- 4xx: Client issues (400 validation, 401/403 auth, 404 missing)
- 5xx: Server issues (500 generic, 503 unavailable)
Choose the status that best reflects the outcome.
## Authentication
- Credentials in standard location
```
Authorization: Bearer {token}
```
- Reject unauthenticated before business logic
## Versioning
- Version via URL/header/media-type
- Breaking change → new version
- Non-breaking → same version
- Provide deprecation window and comms
## Pagination/Filtering (if applicable)
- Pagination: `page`, `pageSize` or cursor-based
- Filtering: explicit query params
- Sorting: `sort=field:asc|desc`
Return pagination metadata in `meta`.

# Authentication & Authorization Standards
[Purpose: unify auth model, token/session lifecycle, permission checks, and security]
## Philosophy
- Clear separation: authentication (who) vs authorization (what)
- Secure by default: least privilege, fail closed, short-lived tokens
- UX-aware: friction where risk is high, smooth otherwise
## Authentication
### Method (choose + rationale)
- Options: JWT, Session, OAuth2, hybrid
- Choice: [our method] because [reason]
### Flow (high-level)
```
1) User proves identity (credentials or provider)
2) Server verifies and issues token/session
3) Client sends token per request
4) Server verifies token and proceeds
```
### Token/Session Lifecycle
- Storage: httpOnly cookie or Authorization header
- Expiration: short-lived access, longer refresh (if used)
- Refresh: rotate tokens; respect revocation
- Revocation: blacklist/rotate on logout/compromise
### Security Pattern
- Enforce TLS; never expose tokens to JS when avoidable
- Bind token to audience/issuer; include minimal claims
- Consider device binding and IP/risk checks for sensitive actions
## Authorization
### Permission Model
- Choose one: RBAC / ABAC / ownership-based / hybrid
- Define roles/attributes centrally; avoid hardcoding across codebase
### Checks (where to enforce)
- Route/middleware: coarse-grained gate
- Domain/service: fine-grained decisions
- UI: conditional rendering (no security reliance)
Example pattern:
```typescript
requirePermission('resource:action'); // route
if (!user.can('resource:action')) throw ForbiddenError(); // domain
```
### Ownership
- Pattern: owner OR privileged role can act
- Verify on entity boundary before mutation
## Passwords & MFA
- Passwords: strong policy, hashed (bcrypt/argon2), never plaintext
- Reset: time-limited token, single-use, notify user
- MFA: step-up for risky operations (policy-driven)
## API-to-API Auth
- Use API keys or OAuth client credentials
- Scope keys minimally; rotate and audit usage
- Rate limit by identity (user/key)

# Database Standards
[Purpose: guide schema design, queries, migrations, and integrity]
## Philosophy
- Model the domain first; optimize after correctness
- Prefer explicit constraints; let database enforce invariants
- Query only what you need; measure before optimizing
## Naming & Types
- Tables: `snake_case`, plural (`users`, `order_items`)
- Columns: `snake_case` (`created_at`, `user_id`)
- FKs: `{table}_id` referencing `{table}.id`
- Types: timezone-aware timestamps; strong IDs; precise money types
## Relationships
- 1:N: FK in child
- N:N: join table with compound key
- 1:1: FK + UNIQUE
## Migrations
- Immutable migrations; always add rollback
- Small, focused steps; test on non-prod first
- Naming: `{seq}_{action}_{object}` (e.g., `002_add_email_index`)
## Query Patterns
- ORM for simple CRUD and safety; raw SQL for complex/perf-critical
- Avoid N+1 (eager load/batching); paginate large sets
- Index FKs and frequently filtered/sorted columns
## Connection & Transactions
- Use pooling (size/timeouts based on workload)
- One connection per unit of work; close/return promptly
- Wrap multi-step changes in transactions
## Data Integrity
- Use NOT NULL/UNIQUE/CHECK/FK constraints
- Validate at DB when appropriate (defense in depth)
- Prefer generated columns for consistent derivations
## Backup & Recovery
- Regular backups with retention; test restores
- Document RPO/RTO targets; monitor backup jobs

# Deployment Standards
[Purpose: safe, repeatable releases with clear environment and pipeline patterns]
## Philosophy
- Automate; test before deploy; verify after deploy
- Prefer incremental rollout with fast rollback
- Production changes must be observable and reversible
## Environments
- Dev: fast iteration; debugging enabled
- Staging: mirrors prod; release validation
- Prod: hardened; monitored; least privilege
## CI/CD Flow
```
Code → Test → Build → Scan → Deploy (staged) → Verify
```
Principles:
- Fail fast on tests/scans; block deploy
- Artifact builds are reproducible (lockfiles, pinned versions)
- Manual approval for prod; auditable trail
## Deployment Strategies
- Rolling: gradual instance replacement
- Blue-Green: switch traffic between two pools
- Canary: small % users first, expand on health
Choose per risk profile; document default.
## Zero-Downtime & Migrations
- Health checks gate traffic; graceful shutdown
- Backwards-compatible DB changes during rollout
- Separate migration step; test rollback paths
## Rollback
- Keep previous version ready; automate revert
- Rollback faster than fix-forward; document triggers
## Configuration & Secrets
- 12-factor config via env; never commit secrets
- Secret manager; rotate; least privilege; audit access
- Validate required env vars at startup
## Health & Monitoring
- Endpoints: `/health`, `/health/live`, `/health/ready`
- Monitor latency, error rate, throughput, saturation
- Alerts on SLO breaches/spikes; tune to avoid fatigue
## Incident Response & DR
- Standard playbook: detect → assess → mitigate → communicate → resolve → post-mortem
- Backups with retention; test restore; defined RPO/RTO

# Error Handling Standards
[Purpose: unify how errors are classified, shaped, propagated, logged, and monitored]
## Philosophy
- Fail fast where possible; degrade gracefully at system boundaries
- Consistent error shape across the stack (human + machine readable)
- Handle known errors close to source; surface unknowns to a global handler
## Classification (decide handling by source)
- Client: Input/validation/user action issues → 4xx
- Server: System failures/unexpected exceptions → 5xx
- Business: Rule/state violations → 4xx (e.g., 409)
- External: 3rd-party/network failures → map to 5xx or 4xx with context
## Error Shape (single canonical format)
```json
{
"error": {
"code": "ERROR_CODE",
"message": "Human-readable message",
"requestId": "trace-id",
"timestamp": "ISO-8601"
}
}
```
Principles: stable code enums, no secrets, include trace info.
## Propagation (where to convert)
- API layer: Convert domain errors → HTTP status + canonical body
- Service layer: Throw typed business errors, avoid stringly-typed errors
- Data/external layer: Wrap provider errors with safe, actionable codes
- Unknown errors: Bubble to global handler → 500 + generic message
Example pattern:
```typescript
try { return await useCase(); }
catch (e) {
if (e instanceof BusinessError) return respondMapped(e);
logError(e); return respondInternal();
}
```
## Logging (context over noise)
Log: operation, userId (if available), code, message, stack, requestId, minimal context.
Do not log: passwords, tokens, secrets, full PII, full bodies with sensitive data.
Levels: ERROR (failures), WARN (recoverable/edge), INFO (key events), DEBUG (diagnostics).
## Retry (only when safe)
Retry when: network/timeouts/transient 5xx AND operation is idempotent.
Do not retry: 4xx, business errors, non-idempotent flows.
Strategy: exponential backoff + jitter, capped attempts; require idempotency keys.
## Monitoring & Health
Track: error rates by code/category, latency, saturation; alert on spikes/SLI breaches.
Expose health: `/health` (live), `/health/ready` (ready). Link errors to traces.

# Security Standards
[Purpose: define security posture with patterns for validation, authz, secrets, and data]
## Philosophy
- Defense in depth; least privilege; secure by default; fail closed
- Validate at boundaries; sanitize for context; never trust input
- Separate authentication (who) and authorization (what)
## Input & Output
- Validate at API boundaries and UI forms; enforce types and constraints
- Sanitize/escape based on destination (HTML, SQL, shell, logs)
- Prefer allow-lists over block-lists; reject early with minimal detail
## Authentication & Authorization
- Authentication: verify identity; issue short-lived tokens/sessions
- Authorization: check permissions before actions; deny by default
- Centralize policies; avoid duplicating checks across code
Pattern:
```typescript
if (!user.hasPermission('resource:action')) throw ForbiddenError();
```
## Secrets & Configuration
- Never commit secrets; store in secret manager or env
- Rotate regularly; audit access; scope minimal
- Validate required env vars at startup; fail fast on missing
## Sensitive Data
- Minimize collection; mask/redact in logs; encrypt at rest and in transit
- Restrict access by role/need-to-know; track access to sensitive records
## Session/Token Security
- httpOnly + secure cookies where possible; TLS everywhere
- Short expiration; rotate on refresh; revoke on logout/compromise
- Bind tokens to audience/issuer; include minimal claims
## Logging (security-aware)
- Log auth attempts, permission denials, and sensitive operations
- Never log passwords, tokens, secrets, full PII; avoid full bodies
- Include requestId and context to correlate events
## Headers & Transport
- Enforce TLS; HSTS
- Set security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options)
- Prefer modern crypto; disable weak protocols/ciphers
## Vulnerability Posture
- Prefer secure libraries; keep dependencies updated
- Static/dynamic scans in CI; track and remediate
- Educate team on common classes; encode as patterns above

# Testing Standards
[Purpose: guide what to test, where tests live, and how to structure them]
## Philosophy
- Test behavior, not implementation
- Prefer fast, reliable tests; minimize brittle mocks
- Cover critical paths deeply; breadth over 100% pursuit
## Organization
Options:
- Co-located: `component.tsx` + `component.test.tsx`
- Separate: `/src/...` and `/tests/...`
Pick one as default; allow exceptions with rationale.
Naming:
- Files: `*.test.*` or `*.spec.*`
- Suites: what is under test; Cases: expected behavior
## Test Types
- Unit: single unit, mocked dependencies, very fast
- Integration: multiple units together, mock externals only
- E2E: full flows, minimal mocks, only for critical journeys
## Structure (AAA)
```typescript
it('does X when Y', () => {
// Arrange
const input = setup();
// Act
const result = act(input);
// Assert
expect(result).toEqual(expected);
});
```
## Mocking & Data
- Mock externals (API/DB); never mock the system under test
- Use factories/fixtures; reset state between tests
- Keep test data minimal and intention-revealing
## Coverage
- Target: [% overall]; higher for critical domains
- Enforce thresholds in CI; exceptions require review rationale
