Summary

Rewrites CLAUDE.md (439 -> 73 lines) per the Claude 5 context-engineering
audit (claude-md-audit/findings/JDEX.md, rubric v1). The file's headline
problem: most of it described jdex-premium's repo, not this one -- it
read like a partially-adapted clone of jdex-premium/CLAUDE.md.

Per-finding evidence

Finding Verified Fix
Repository Structure tree lists components/, services/, context/ dirs and licenseService.js find app/src returns only App.jsx, db.js, index.css, main.jsx, utils/ -- none of the documented dirs exist Deleted; replaced with a short, accurate structure list
"Key Tables" list includes file_organization_rules, statistics grep "CREATE TABLE" db.js shows the real table is organization_rules; no statistics table exists Deleted the wrong list rather than regenerating one that will drift again
"Premium vs. Free Features" table implies gated premium code ships here No licenseService.js/LicenseContext/useLicense() found anywhere in the repo Replaced with an explicit note: this repo IS the free tier, no gating code exists here
Entire "Development Workflow: Ironclad 4-Phase Process" section (132 lines) references scripts/verify.js, scripts/ship.js, scripts/ai-review.js, .workflow/checklists/, GEMINI_API_KEY find/grep confirm none of these exist; scripts/ and app/scripts/ only hold build/notarize/sign scripts; .workflow/ only has sessions/; CI has zero references to these scripts or Gemini Replaced with a one-line pointer to the global Ironclad Workflow + an explicit note that this repo lacks that tooling
Hardcoded line counts (App.jsx 2,622 / db.js 3,344) wc -l shows 2,359 / 3,296 -- already drifted Dropped the exact counts; kept the qualitative claims (monolith, no ORM, no tests, no TypeScript -- all reconfirmed)
Version: 2.1.0 app/package.json says 2.0.1 Dropped the hardcoded version rather than restating package.json
Tech Stack table, Development Commands, CI/CD Pipeline, Security bullets, Tailwind theme tokens All directly derivable from package.json, tailwind.config.js, .github/workflows/ci.yml Deleted (kept a short curated commands table since real day-to-day commands are still useful)
Coding Patterns section claims a "Service layer pattern" and License Context Neither exists in this repo Fixed, then collapsed to one line: match existing style (functional components, hooks, Tailwind)
Code-signing doc pointers (docs/DISTRIBUTION-SETUP.md, docs/NOTARIZATION-SETUP.md) Files don't exist at that path -- they're at app/DISTRIBUTION-SETUP.md / app/NOTARIZATION-SETUP.md (found via repo-wide search) Corrected the path (this was wrong in the old file, not previously flagged)
"Two remotes: origin (public JDEX) and premium (private jdex-premium)" git remote -v shows only origin -- no premium remote configured Corrected: jdex-premium is a separate repo/checkout, not a remote of this one
Johnny Decimal 4-level hierarchy, feature/* branch-naming divergence from global's feat:/fix:/docs: convention, sql.js-from-CDN + localStorage-limit gotchas Genuine non-obvious, non-derivable content per the rubric Kept, unchanged in substance
Session Documentation's [ASTGL CONTENT] flagging line Duplicates global ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md verbatim Deleted

Absorbed pre-existing edit

This branch also absorbs a pre-existing uncommitted edit to CLAUDE.md
(removal of the jdex-cursor-config/ line from the repository-structure
tree -- that directory no longer exists in the repo). That whole tree is
deleted in this rewrite anyway, so the edit is fully subsumed, not
separately preserved. package-lock.json has unrelated pre-existing local
changes and is intentionally left out of this PR.

Test plan

  • Diffed rewritten file against ground truth: find/grep/wc -l on
    app/src, db.js, scripts/, app/scripts/, .workflow/,
    .github/workflows/ci.yml, app/package.json
  • Confirmed no other consumer of this file (no AGENTS.md twin, no
    .coderabbit.yaml in this repo)
  • CI green
  • CodeRabbit / human review triaged

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Rewrite CLAUDE.md (439 -> 73 lines) to describe THIS repo instead of
jdex-premium's. The prior file was largely cloned from jdex-premium/CLAUDE.md
and never fully adapted: its Repository Structure, Database key-tables list,
Premium vs. Free Features table, and entire "Ironclad 4-Phase Process"
section (132 lines) all described directories, tables, and scripts
(components/, services/, context/, licenseService.js, scripts/verify.js,
scripts/ship.js, scripts/ai-review.js, .workflow/checklists/) that do not
exist anywhere in this repo (verified via find/grep/wc against app/src,
db.js, scripts/, and .workflow/).

Also fixed along the way:
- Doc pointers for code signing were pointing at docs/DISTRIBUTION-SETUP.md
  and docs/NOTARIZATION-SETUP.md, which don't exist; the real files are at
  app/DISTRIBUTION-SETUP.md and app/NOTARIZATION-SETUP.md.
- "Two remotes: origin/premium" was factually wrong -- this repo only has
  origin; jdex-premium is a separate repo/checkout, not a remote of this one.
- Dropped hardcoded file line-counts and the wrong DB table list rather than
  updating them, per the audit rubric's staleness guidance.
- Kept the feature/* branch-naming divergence from global's feat:/fix:/docs:
  convention explicit (it's load-bearing, not filler).

Absorbs a pre-existing uncommitted edit to this file (removal of the
jdex-cursor-config/ line from the repo tree -- that directory no longer
exists) that predates this session; it is fully subsumed by this rewrite.

package-lock.json has unrelated pre-existing local changes, left unstaged.

    • Added practical notes on local-first storage, database loading, premium functionality, known technical limitations, and available development commands.
    • Clarified the workflow differences between this repository and the premium project.

Walkthrough

CLAUDE.md was rewritten from a comprehensive project context and workflow document into a concise JDEX-focused reference covering repository structure, conventions, hierarchy, operational gotchas, known debt, commands, and workflow limitations.

Changes

JDEX documentation rewrite

Layer / File(s) Summary
Project context and structure
CLAUDE.md
The document introduces JDEX, explains the free and premium repository relationship, and summarizes the app/ structure and functional React coding style.
Hierarchy and operational guidance
CLAUDE.md
Johnny Decimal guidance, local-first behavior, runtime sql.js loading, premium feature boundaries, known debt, and development commands are condensed into focused sections.
Workflow documentation
CLAUDE.md
The workflow section identifies the global process and the premium-only verification and shipping automation absent from this repository.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a tidy new guide,
Johnny Decimal paths neatly aligned.
Gotchas and commands now hop into view,
Known debt is marked, and workflows are too.
I twitch my nose—what a concise little ride!

## Working With This Codebase

### Adding a New Feature
1. Create a feature branch: `feature/your-feature`
2. If it needs UI: Add component(s) in `app/src/components/YourFeature/`
3. If it needs business logic: Add service in `app/src/services/yourFeatureService.js`
4. If it needs database changes: Add migration in `db.js` (increment `SCHEMA_VERSION`)
5. If it's premium-gated: Check license in component via `useLicense()` from `LicenseContext`
6. Wire into `App.jsx` (currently all top-level routing/state lives here)
7. Run `npm run lint:fix && npm run format` before committing

### Adding a Database Migration
In `db.js`, migrations are numbered. The current schema version is **7**.
```javascript
// In the runMigrations() function:
if (currentVersion < 8) {
db.run("ALTER TABLE ... ");
db.run("UPDATE schema_version SET version = 8");
}
```

### Key Files to Read First
When starting a new session, these files give the most context:
1. `app/src/App.jsx` - All UI state, navigation, feature integration
2. `app/src/db.js` - Database schema, queries, migrations
3. `app/src/services/licenseService.js` - Premium feature gating logic
4. `app/tailwind.config.js` - Design system tokens

---

## Environment Setup

### Prerequisites
- **Node.js 20+** (CI uses Node 20)
- **npm** (lockfile at `app/package-lock.json`)
- **macOS** for Electron development (primary dev platform)

### First-Time Setup
```bash
cd app
npm install
npm run electron:dev
```

### Code Signing (Release Builds Only)
- **macOS**: Requires Apple Developer account, certificates, and notarization credentials in env vars
- **Windows**: Requires EV code signing certificate (FTL Consulting LLC)
- See `docs/DISTRIBUTION-SETUP.md` and `docs/NOTARIZATION-SETUP.md` for details

## Development Workflow: Ironclad 4-Phase Process

This project uses a structured workflow with mandatory quality gates and AI-powered code review.

### Workflow Phases

#### Phase 1: PLAN
Before writing any code, create or update a plan document.

**Required:**
- Create `.workflow/sessions/SESSION-YYYY-MM-DD-[slug]/plan.md` using the template
- Define problem statement and success criteria
- Complete security considerations section
- Break down tasks with dependencies
- Get human approval before proceeding

**Gate:** Human must approve the plan before EXECUTE phase begins.

#### Phase 2: EXECUTE
Implement the planned tasks systematically.

**Required:**
- Work through tasks in dependency order
- Create feature branch for the work
- Update session documentation as you go
- Mark tasks complete in plan.md as finished
- Run linting and fix issues before proceeding

**Gate:** All planned tasks must be marked complete before VERIFY phase.

#### Phase 3: VERIFY
Validate the implementation thoroughly.

**Required:**
- Run `node scripts/verify.js` to:
- Generate file hashes
- Run automated tests
- Run linter
- Run security audit (npm audit)
- **Run AI code review (Gemini)**
- Complete verification checklist
- Address any AI review findings
- Perform visual verification (capture screenshots if UI)
- Get human approval of verification results

**AI Code Review:**
The verification includes automated AI review using Google Gemini that checks for:
- Security vulnerabilities (injection, auth issues, data exposure)
- Code quality issues (clarity, error handling, edge cases)
- Best practices violations

If AI review finds issues:
1. Review the findings in `.workflow/state/ai-review.json`
2. Address CRITICAL and HIGH severity issues before shipping
3. Document any accepted risks in the session notes

**Gate:** Human must approve verification before SHIP phase.

#### Phase 4: SHIP
Merge the verified code.

**Required:**
- Run `node scripts/ship.js` to validate file integrity
- File hashes must match verification state
- Create PR with evidence
- Include AI review summary in PR
- **Get human approval for merge**

**Gate:** File integrity must pass before PR creation.

### Human Checkpoints

The workflow has mandatory human checkpoints:
1. **Plan Approval** - Before any code is written
2. **Verification Approval** - After testing and AI review, before shipping
3. **Ship Approval** - Final merge decision

Never auto-proceed past these checkpoints. Always ask for explicit approval.

### Security Requirements

For every change:
- Review `.workflow/checklists/security-review.md`
- Validate all user inputs
- Sanitize data before storage/display
- Use parameterized queries for database operations
- Never expose sensitive data in errors or logs
- Run `npm audit` before shipping
- **Review AI security findings and address issues**

### AI Review Configuration

The AI review requires a Gemini API key:
```bash
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```

To run AI review standalone:
```bash
node scripts/ai-review.js # Full review
node scripts/ai-review.js --diff # Review git changes only
node scripts/ai-review.js --security-focus # Security only
Areas (10-19, 20-29, ...) # Broad life/work categories
└── Categories (11, 12, ...) # Topic groups within an area
└── Folders (11.01, 11.02, ...) # Container folders
└── Items (11.01.001, ...) # Individual tracked objects
```
