-Gunakan **Conventional Commits** untuk semua commit. Format:
-
-```
-<type>(<scope>): <description>
-```

-**Type & efek ke versi:**
-
-| Type        | Bump  | Kapan pakai                              |
-|-------------|-------|------------------------------------------|
-| `feat`      | minor | Fitur baru                               |
-| `fix`       | patch | Perbaikan bug                            |
-| `chore`     | patch | Maintenance, update deps, dll            |

-### Contoh
-
-```
-feat(tool): add batch file delete
-
-chore: bump reqwest to 0.12
-
-refactor(harness): flatten guard pipeline
-

+This file provides guidance to Kilo when working with code in the zesdex repository.
+
+## Best Practice Conventions
+
+Zesdex follows Kana Engineering Best Practices:
+
+1. **Clean Architecture** — Strict domain/application/infrastructure/presentation layering.
+   - Domain has ZERO framework dependencies.
+   - Application depends only on domain.
+   - Infrastructure implements domain traits.
+   - DTOs cross layer boundaries, NOT entities.
+
+2. **Clean Code** — Functions under ~40 lines, one level of abstraction per function, descriptive names, no flag arguments, no commented-out code.
+
+3. **Documentation** — Every pub fn, struct, enum, and trait needs a doc comment (///) explaining what, flow, why, and return value.
+
+4. **Commit Convention** — Conventional Commits in Bahasa Indonesia: `feat(scope):`, `fix(scope):`, `chore:`, `docs:`.
+
+5. **Error Handling** — `anyhow::Result` and `anyhow::bail!` throughout. Log with `tracing` (never stderr).
+
+6. **Testing** — `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` blocks inline in production files. Tests are F.I.R.S.T. (Fast, Independent, Repeatable, Self-validating, Timely).
+
+7. **No Compiler Bypasses** — Never use `#[allow(...)]`, `#[expect(...)]`, or `#[allow(dead_code)]`. Fix the underlying code.
+
+8. **Boy Scout Rule** — Leave every module cleaner than you found it.
+
+## Available Agents
+
+- `@rust-engineer` — Rust clean architecture specialist (subagent).
+- `@code-reviewer` — Code review specialist (subagent).
+
+## Available Commands
+
+- `/check` — Run cargo check, clippy, and tests.
+- `/audit` — Code quality audit against clean-architecture best practices.
+- `/doc` — Generate or update doc comments.

-# CLAUDE.md
-
-This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
-
-Tests use `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` blocks inline in production files (not a separate `tests/` dir).
-
-Tracing output goes to `~/.local/share/zesdex/zesdex.log`. Set `RUST_LOG=debug` for verbose logging.
-
-## Architecture Overview
-
-Zesdex is an autonomous AI coding agent with a TUI — an OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible LLM client wrapped in a tool-use harness with 37 built-in tools.
-
-Detailed architecture documentation is in `docs/CODEMAPS/`:
-
-| File | Covers |
-|------|--------|
-| [`docs/CODEMAPS/architecture.md`](docs/CODEMAPS/architecture.md) | System layout, process modes, data flow, key files |
-| [`docs/CODEMAPS/backend.md`](docs/CODEMAPS/backend.md) | Provider, OAuth, IPC, workflow engine, MCP, review, bg bash |
-| [`docs/CODEMAPS/frontend.md`](docs/CODEMAPS/frontend.md) | TUI render pipeline, 16 overlays, toasts, input handling |
-| [`docs/CODEMAPS/data.md`](docs/CODEMAPS/data.md) | Persistence, SQLite msglog, memory files, settings/config |
-| [`docs/CODEMAPS/dependencies.md`](docs/CODEMAPS/dependencies.md) | 23 Rust crates, 5 external services |
-
-`docs/runs/` holds an auto-generated audit trail: one markdown file per hive-mind convergence (see below), written deterministically by `app::workflow::docs::write_hive_mind_convergence` — not hand-maintained like `docs/CODEMAPS/`.
-
-### Key Patterns
-
-- **State mutation** — `AppStateRest` is mutable in-place from `actions/mod.rs` and `controller/input.rs`. No generic update function.
-- **No DI** — modules call `Settings::load()`, `AppConfig::load()`, `all_tools()` directly.
-- **Logging** — `tracing::warn!` to `~/.local/share/zesdex/zesdex.log` (not stderr, avoids TUI corruption).
-- **Error handling** — `anyhow::Result` and `anyhow::bail!` throughout. No custom error types.
-- **Static strings** — MCP tool descriptions use `Box::leak` + `OnceLock` cache.
-- **Tools** — `trait Tool { fn name() -> &str, fn run() -> Result<String> }`, 28 impls, gated by `Harness`.
-- **Shell safety** — `tool/shell_filter/` blocks destructive git commands (`shell_filter::git::check_git_destructive`, called from `tool/shell.rs::Bash::run`). It also contains a `check_credential_read` detector for credential-file reads, but that one is intentionally NOT wired into `Bash::run` today — see the doc comment on `Bash::run` for why.
-
-### Hive-Mind Orchestration (Machine Intelligence)
-
-- **A single Core Intelligence spawning anonymous processing nodes.** The Core Intelligence (main agent) compiles a cognitive cycle plan per task: an ordered list of cycles, each cycle a set of processing nodes that run in parallel. Each node's sole identity is its directive (what to do) and an access tier. Cycle count and nodes-per-cycle are entirely Core-Intelligence output.
-- **Access tiers** in `src/app/subagent/division.rs` (`tool_scope` module): tool access is granted per node via one of three tiers (`read` / `write` / `full`, see `tool_scope::tools_for`) picked by the Core Intelligence based on what each node's directive actually needs.
-- **Orchestrator** in `src/app/workflow/hive_mind.rs`: `run_hive_mind()` executes a `CognitiveCyclePlan { cycles: Vec<Vec<NodeDirective>> }` cycle-by-cycle. Node IDs are system-assigned coordinates (e.g. `"Node-0-1"`).
-- **Continuous collective state, not phase-boundary sync**: `engine::execute_primitive`'s `ScopedAgent` arm merges each node's complete output into the shared collective-state channel the instant that node finishes — not after its whole parallel cohort completes — so sibling/later nodes see it in real time.
-- **Consensus synthesis, not a per-node summary**: after all cycles complete, `synthesize_consensus()` spawns one final read-only node whose sole directive is to reconcile the entire collective state into a single consensus assessment — a real reasoning pass, not string concatenation, since node outputs can overlap or conflict.
-- **Auto-trigger** in `run_agent_turn()` (`actions/mod.rs`): `is_complex_request()` heuristics decide only whether to ask the Core Intelligence to compile a plan at all — the plan's shape is fully dynamic.
-- **`hive_mind` tool** (`src/tool/workflow.rs`) is the manual entry point: the calling LLM supplies its own `cycles` array of `{directive, access}` directly.
-- **Guaranteed documentation**: after every convergence, `src/app/workflow/docs.rs::write_hive_mind_convergence()` deterministically (not an LLM step, not skippable) writes every node's full output plus the final consensus to `docs/runs/<timestamp>-<slug>.md`.
-- **Live node progress** in TUI panel (`view/workflow.rs`): shows node designation + current tool via `AgentStatus::progress`.
-- **Auto inline review** after each edit: `src/app/subagent/auto.rs` — `spawn_quick_review()` injects verdict back into LLM conversation.
-- **Background subagents** (test-gen, arch-review, security-review) fire asynchronously at turn end via `TurnEvent::SystemNote`, retrying once on failure and escalating to a blocking (`ESCALATED:`-prefixed, `ToastKind::Error`) notice if the retry also fails.
-
-Commit convention (Conventional Commits, Bahasa Indonesia): see the `commit-convention` skill.
-
-## Code Documentation
-
-Every function, struct, enum, trait, module, and significant code block must have a doc comment (`///` or `//!`) that explains:
-
-- **What** the function/module does (purpose, not how)
-- **Flow** — a brief ASCII or prose description of the code flow / data flow above each non-trivial function
-- **Why** — non-obvious decisions, edge cases, invariants
-- **Return** — what the caller gets back, especially for `Result` types
-
-Examples:
-
-```rust
-/// Parse an SSE data chunk into one or more StreamEvents.
-///
-/// Flow: buffer → split on '\n' → flush on blank line → JSON parse → match event type
-///       → return Token / ToolCallDelta / Usage / Done.
-///
-/// Edge case: chunk may split mid-line; remaining bytes stay in buffer
-/// for the next feed() call.
-fn feed(&mut self, chunk: &str) -> Vec<StreamEvent> { ... }
-
-/// The single source-of-truth state struct for the entire application.
-///
-/// Mutated in-place from two locations: actions/mod.rs (apply_action)
-/// and controller/input.rs (key event handlers). Read-only from
-/// every other module.
-struct AppStateRest { ... }
-```
-
-Rules:
-- Every `pub fn` needs a doc comment
-- Every `pub struct` / `pub enum` / `pub trait` needs a doc comment
-- Non-trivial private functions (≥10 lines) need a doc comment
-- Write the comment above the code it documents (not inline in the body)
-- Update comments when code behavior changes — stale docs are worse than no docs
-- NEVER use compiler/linter bypass annotations or attributes (such as `#[allow(clippy::too_many_lines, clippy::too_many_arguments, clippy::ref_option)]`, `#[allow(dead_code)]`, etc.) to silence warnings or skip linter checks. Always fix the underlying code issues instead.

+//! OAuth 2.0 authorization-code + PKCE flow use-case.
+//!
+//! `OAuthUseCase` orchestrates the standard PKCE-enhanced OAuth flow:
+//!
+//! 1. **`start_flow`** — generates a cryptographic PKCE code verifier,
+//!    derives its S256 challenge, creates a CSRF state token, persists
+//!    the verifier + state via `OAuthFlowStore`, and builds an
+//!    authorization URL with all required parameters.
+//! 2. **`complete_flow`** — validates the returned `state` against the
+//!    stored value (CSRF check), reads the stored verifier, delegates
+//!    the token-code exchange to an injected `TokenExchanger`, and
+//!    persists the resulting `OAuthToken` via `OAuthRepository`.
+//! 3. **`get_token`** — loads the stored OAuth token (if any).
+//!
+//! # Portability
+//!
+//! The service is generic over three injected dependencies:
+//! - `R: OAuthRepository` — token persistence
+//! - `S: OAuthFlowStore` — ephemeral flow state (verifier + CSRF state)
+//! - `E: TokenExchanger` — the HTTP token-endpoint exchange
+//!
+//! This keeps all I/O and protocol-level concerns abstracted behind
+//! port traits; the service itself contains only orchestration logic.

+//! Pure domain entity for application configuration.
+//!
+//! Defines `AppConfig`, `ProviderConfig`, and `ModelRole` — the data
+//! structures that describe which LLM providers are registered, which
+//! model roles exist, and which provider/model is the default.
+//!
+//! # Architecture
+//! These are pure data structures with **no I/O logic**. Load/save
+//! responsibilities live in `AppConfigRepository` (domain::repository).
+//!
+//! ## Data Flow
+//! 1. `AppConfig` is deserialised from `app_config.json` at startup
+//! 2. The HTTP handler layer calls `SettingsService::update_provider()`
+//!    to mutate the provider map
+//! 3. The modified `AppConfig` is serialised back to `app_config.json`
