+# GitHub Actions - Composite Actions
+
+This directory contains reusable composite actions for the YAZE CI/CD pipeline.
+
+## Available Actions
+
+### 1. `setup-build`
+Sets up the build environment with dependencies and caching.
+
+**Inputs:**
+- `platform` (required): Target platform (linux, macos, windows)
+- `preset` (required): CMake preset to use
+- `cache-key` (optional): Cache key for dependencies
+
+**What it does:**
+- Configures CPM cache
+- Installs platform-specific build dependencies
+- Sets up sccache/ccache for faster builds
+
+### 2. `build-project`
+Builds the project with CMake and caching.
+
+**Inputs:**
+- `platform` (required): Target platform (linux, macos, windows)
+- `preset` (required): CMake preset to use
+- `build-type` (optional): Build type (Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo)
+
+**What it does:**
+- Caches build artifacts
+- Configures the project with CMake
+- Builds the project with optimal parallel settings
+- Shows build artifacts for verification
+
+### 3. `run-tests`
+Runs the test suite with appropriate filtering.
+
+**Inputs:**
+- `test-type` (required): Type of tests to run (stable, unit, integration, all)
+- `preset` (optional): CMake preset to use (default: ci)
+
+**What it does:**
+- Runs the specified test suite(s)
+- Generates JUnit XML test results
+- Uploads test results as artifacts
+
+## Usage
+
+These composite actions are used in the main CI workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`). They must be called after checking out the repository:
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+  - name: Checkout code
+    uses: actions/checkout@v4
+    with:
+      submodules: recursive
+
+  - name: Setup build environment
+    uses: ./.github/actions/setup-build
+    with:
+      platform: linux
+      preset: ci
+      cache-key: ${{ hashFiles('cmake/dependencies.lock') }}
+```
+
+## Important Notes
+
+1. **Repository checkout required**: The repository must be checked out before calling any of these composite actions. They do not include a checkout step themselves.
+
+2. **Platform-specific behavior**: Each action adapts to the target platform (Linux, macOS, Windows) and runs appropriate commands for that environment.
+
+3. **Caching**: The actions use GitHub Actions caching to speed up builds by caching:
+   - CPM dependencies (~/.cpm-cache)
+   - Build artifacts (build/)
+   - Compiler cache (sccache/ccache)
+
+4. **Dependencies**: The Linux CI packages are listed in `.github/workflows/scripts/linux-ci-packages.txt`.
+
+## Maintenance
+
+When updating these actions:
+- Test on all three platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows)
+- Ensure shell compatibility (bash for Linux/macOS, pwsh for Windows)
+- Update this README if inputs or behavior changes
+

+## Inter-Agent Collaboration Protocol
+
+Multiple assistants may work in this repository at the same time. To avoid conflicts, every agent
+must follow the shared protocol defined in
+[`docs/internal/agents/coordination-board.md`](docs/internal/agents/coordination-board.md).
+
+### Required Steps
+1. **Read the board** before starting a task to understand active work, blockers, or pending
+   requests.
+2. **Append a new entry** (format described in the coordination board) outlining your intent,
+   affected files, and any dependencies.
+3. **Respond to requests** addressed to your agent ID before taking on new work whenever possible.
+4. **Record completion or handoffs** so the next agent has a clear state snapshot.
+5. For multi-day initiatives, fill out the template in
+   [`docs/internal/agents/initiative-template.md`](docs/internal/agents/initiative-template.md) and
+   link it from your board entry instead of duplicating long notes.
+
+### Agent IDs
+Use the following canonical identifiers in board entries and handoffs (see
+[`docs/internal/agents/personas.md`](docs/internal/agents/personas.md) for details):
+
+| Agent ID        | Description                                      |
+|-----------------|--------------------------------------------------|
+| `CLAUDE_CORE`   | Claude agent handling general editor/engine work |
+| `CLAUDE_AIINF`  | Claude agent focused on AI/agent infrastructure   |
+| `CLAUDE_DOCS`   | Claude agent dedicated to docs/product guidance   |
+| `GEMINI_FLASH_AUTOM` | Gemini agent focused on automation/CLI/test work |
+| `CODEX`         | This Codex CLI assistant                          |
+| `OTHER`         | Any future agent (define in entry)                |
+
+If you introduce a new agent persona, add it to the table along with a short description.
+
+### Helper Scripts
+Common automation helpers live under [`scripts/agents/`](scripts/agents). Use them whenever possible:
+- `run-gh-workflow.sh` – trigger GitHub workflows (`ci.yml`, etc.) with parameters such as `enable_http_api_tests`.
+- `smoke-build.sh` – configure/build a preset in place and report how long it took.
+- `run-tests.sh` – configure/build a preset and run `ctest` (`scripts/agents/run-tests.sh mac-dbg --output-on-failure`).
+- `test-http-api.sh` – poll the `/api/v1/health` endpoint once the HTTP server is running.
+
+Log command results and workflow URLs on the coordination board so other agents know what ran and where to find artifacts.
+
+### Escalation
+If two agents need the same subsystem concurrently, negotiate via the board using the
+`REQUEST`/`BLOCKER` keywords. When in doubt, prefer smaller, well-defined handoffs instead of broad
+claims over directories.

+## Project Overview
+
+**yaze** (Yet Another Zelda3 Editor) is a modern, cross-platform ROM editor for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, built with C++23. It features:
+- Complete GUI editor for overworld, dungeons, sprites, graphics, and palettes
+- Integrated Asar 65816 assembler for ROM patching
+- SNES emulator for testing modifications
+- AI-powered CLI tool (`z3ed`) for ROM hacking assistance
+- ZSCustomOverworld v3 support for enhanced overworld editing
+
+## Build System
+
+- Use the presets defined in `CMakePresets.json` (debug: `mac-dbg` / `lin-dbg` / `win-dbg`, AI:
+  `mac-ai` / `win-ai`, release: `*-rel`, etc.). Add `-v` for verbose builds.
+- Always run builds from a dedicated directory when acting as an AI agent (`build_ai`, `build_agent`,
+  …) so you do not interfere with the user’s `build`/`build_test` trees.
+- Treat [`docs/public/build/quick-reference.md`](docs/public/build/quick-reference.md) as the single
+  source of truth for commands, presets, testing, and environment prep. Only reference the larger
+  troubleshooting docs when you need platform-specific fixes.
+
+### Test Execution
+
+```bash
+# Build tests
+cmake --build build --target yaze_test
+
+# Run all tests
+./build/bin/yaze_test
+
+# Run specific categories
+./build/bin/yaze_test --unit              # Unit tests only
+./build/bin/yaze_test --integration       # Integration tests
+./build/bin/yaze_test --e2e --show-gui    # End-to-end GUI tests
+
+# Run with ROM-dependent tests
+./build/bin/yaze_test --rom-dependent --rom-path zelda3.sfc
+
+# Run specific test by name
+./build/bin/yaze_test "*Asar*"
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+**ROM Management** (`src/app/rom.h`, `src/app/rom.cc`)
+- Central `Rom` class manages all ROM data access
+- Provides transaction-based read/write operations
+- Handles graphics buffer, palettes, and resource labels
+- Key methods: `LoadFromFile()`, `ReadByte()`, `WriteByte()`, `ReadTransaction()`, `WriteTransaction()`
+
+**Editor System** (`src/app/editor/`)
+- Base `Editor` class defines interface for all editor types
+- Major editors: `OverworldEditor`, `DungeonEditor`, `GraphicsEditor`, `PaletteEditor`
+- `EditorManager` coordinates multiple editor instances
+- Card-based UI system for dockable editor panels
+
+**Graphics System** (`src/app/gfx/`)
+- `gfx::Bitmap`: Core bitmap class with SDL surface integration
+- `gfx::Arena`: Centralized singleton for progressive asset loading (priority-based texture queuing)
+- `gfx::SnesPalette` and `gfx::SnesColor`: SNES color/palette management
+- `gfx::Tile16` and `gfx::SnesTile`: Tile format representations
+- Graphics sheets (223 total) loaded from ROM with compression support (LC-LZ2)
+
+**Zelda3-Specific Logic** (`src/zelda3/`)
+- `zelda3::Overworld`: Manages 160+ overworld maps (Light World, Dark World, Special World)
+- `zelda3::OverworldMap`: Individual map data (tiles, entities, properties)
+- `zelda3::Dungeon`: Dungeon room management (296 rooms)
+- `zelda3::Sprite`: Sprite and enemy data structures
+
+**Canvas System** (`src/app/gui/canvas.h`)
+- `gui::Canvas`: ImGui-based drawable canvas with pan/zoom/grid support
+- Context menu system for entity editing
+- Automation API for AI agent integration
+- Usage tracker for click/interaction statistics
+
+**Asar Integration** (`src/core/asar_wrapper.h`)
+- `core::AsarWrapper`: C++ wrapper around Asar assembler library
+- Provides patch application, symbol extraction, and error reporting
+- Used by CLI tool and GUI for assembly patching
+
+**z3ed CLI Tool** (`src/cli/`)
+- AI-powered command-line interface with Ollama and Gemini support
+- TUI (Terminal UI) components for interactive editing
+- Resource catalog system for ROM data queries
+- Test suite generation and execution
+- Network collaboration support (experimental)
+
+### Key Architectural Patterns
+
+**Pattern 1: Modular Editor Design**
+- Large editor classes decomposed into smaller, single-responsibility modules
+- Separate renderer classes (e.g., `OverworldEntityRenderer`)
+- UI panels managed by dedicated classes (e.g., `MapPropertiesSystem`)
+- Main editor acts as coordinator, not implementer
+
+**Pattern 2: Callback-Based Communication**
+- Child components receive callbacks from parent editors via `SetCallbacks()`
+- Avoids circular dependencies between modules
+- Example: `MapPropertiesSystem` calls `RefreshCallback` to notify `OverworldEditor`
+
+**Pattern 3: Progressive Loading via `gfx::Arena`**
+- All expensive asset loading performed asynchronously
+- Queue textures with priority: `gfx::Arena::Get().QueueDeferredTexture(bitmap, priority)`
+- Process in batches during `Update()`: `GetNextDeferredTextureBatch(high_count, low_count)`
+- Prevents UI freezes during ROM loading
+
+**Pattern 4: Bitmap/Surface Synchronization**
+- `Bitmap::data_` (C++ vector) and `surface_->pixels` (SDL buffer) must stay in sync
+- Use `set_data()` for bulk replacement (syncs both)
+- Use `WriteToPixel()` for single-pixel modifications
+- Never assign directly to `mutable_data()` for replacements
+
+## Development Guidelines
+
+### Naming Conventions
+- **Load**: Reading data from ROM into memory
+- **Render**: Processing graphics data into bitmaps/textures (CPU pixel operations)
+- **Draw**: Displaying textures/shapes on canvas via ImGui (GPU rendering)
+- **Update**: UI state changes, property updates, input handling
+
+### Graphics Refresh Logic
+When a visual property changes:
+1. Update the property in the data model
+2. Call relevant `Load*()` method (e.g., `map.LoadAreaGraphics()`)
+3. Force a redraw: Use `Renderer::Get().RenderBitmap()` for immediate updates (not `UpdateBitmap()`)
+
+### Graphics Sheet Management
+When modifying graphics sheets:
+1. Get mutable reference: `auto& sheet = Arena::Get().mutable_gfx_sheet(index);`
+2. Make modifications
+3. Notify Arena: `Arena::Get().NotifySheetModified(index);`
+4. Changes propagate automatically to all editors
+
+### UI Theming System
+- **Never use hardcoded colors** - Always use `AgentUITheme`
+- Fetch theme: `const auto& theme = AgentUI::GetTheme();`
+- Use semantic colors: `theme.panel_bg_color`, `theme.status_success`, etc.
+- Use helper functions: `AgentUI::PushPanelStyle()`, `AgentUI::RenderSectionHeader()`, `AgentUI::StyledButton()`
+
+### Multi-Area Map Configuration
+- **Always use** `zelda3::Overworld::ConfigureMultiAreaMap()` when changing map area size
+- Never set `area_size` property directly
+- Method handles parent ID assignment and ROM data persistence
+
+### Version-Specific Features
+- Check ROM's `asm_version` byte before showing UI for ZSCustomOverworld features
+- Display helpful messages for unsupported features (e.g., "Requires ZSCustomOverworld v3+")
+
+### Entity Visibility Standards
+Render overworld entities with high-contrast colors at 0.85f alpha:
+- **Entrances**: Bright yellow-gold
+- **Exits**: Cyan-white
+- **Items**: Bright red
+- **Sprites**: Bright magenta
+
+### Debugging with Startup Flags
+Jump directly to editors for faster development:
+```bash
+# Open specific editor with ROM
+./yaze --rom_file=zelda3.sfc --editor=Dungeon
+
+# Open with specific cards visible
+./yaze --rom_file=zelda3.sfc --editor=Dungeon --cards="Room 0,Room 1,Object Editor"
+
+# Enable debug logging
+./yaze --debug --log_file=debug.log --rom_file=zelda3.sfc --editor=Overworld
+```
+
+Available editors: Assembly, Dungeon, Graphics, Music, Overworld, Palette, Screen, Sprite, Message, Hex, Agent, Settings
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Test Organization
+```
+test/
+├── unit/           # Fast, isolated component tests (no ROM required)
+├── integration/    # Multi-component tests (may require ROM)
+├── e2e/           # Full UI workflow tests (ImGui Test Engine)
+├── benchmarks/    # Performance tests
+└── mocks/         # Mock objects for isolation
+```
+
+### Test Categories
+- **Unit Tests**: Fast, self-contained, no external dependencies (primary CI validation)
+- **Integration Tests**: Test component interactions, may require ROM files
+- **E2E Tests**: Full user workflows driven by ImGui Test Engine (requires GUI)
+- **ROM-Dependent Tests**: Any test requiring an actual Zelda3 ROM file
+
+### Writing New Tests
+- New class `MyClass`? → Add `test/unit/my_class_test.cc`
+- Testing with ROM? → Add `test/integration/my_class_rom_test.cc`
+- Testing UI workflow? → Add `test/e2e/my_class_workflow_test.cc`
+
+### GUI Test Automation
+- E2E framework uses `ImGuiTestEngine` for UI automation
+- All major widgets have stable IDs for discovery
+- Test helpers in `test/test_utils.h`: `LoadRomInTest()`, `OpenEditorInTest()`
+- AI agents can use `z3ed gui discover`, `z3ed gui click` for automation
+
+## Platform-Specific Notes
+
+### Windows
+- Requires Visual Studio 2022 with "Desktop development with C++" workload
+- Run `scripts\verify-build-environment.ps1` before building
+- gRPC builds take 15-20 minutes first time (use vcpkg for faster builds)
+- Watch for path length limits: Enable long paths with `git config --global core.longpaths true`
+
+### macOS
+- Supports both Apple Silicon (ARM64) and Intel (x86_64)
+- Use `mac-uni` preset for universal binaries
+- Bundled Abseil used by default to avoid deployment target mismatches
+- **ARM64 Note**: gRPC v1.67.1 is the tested stable version (see BUILD-TROUBLESHOOTING.md for details)
+
+### Linux
+- Requires GCC 13+ or Clang 16+
+- Install dependencies: `libgtk-3-dev`, `libdbus-1-dev`, `pkg-config`
+
+**Platform-specific build issues?** See `docs/BUILD-TROUBLESHOOTING.md`
+
+## CI/CD Pipeline
+
+The project uses GitHub Actions for continuous integration and deployment:
+
+### Workflows
+- **ci.yml**: Build and test on Linux, macOS, Windows (runs on push to master/develop, PRs)
+- **release.yml**: Build release artifacts and publish GitHub releases
+- **code-quality.yml**: clang-format, cppcheck, clang-tidy checks
+- **security.yml**: Security scanning and dependency audits
+
+### Composite Actions
+Reusable build steps in `.github/actions/`:
+- `setup-build` - Configure build environment with caching
+- `build-project` - Build with CMake and optimal settings
+- `run-tests` - Execute test suites with result uploads
+
+### Key Features
+- CPM dependency caching for faster builds
+- sccache/ccache for incremental compilation
+- Platform-specific test execution (stable, unit, integration)
+- Automatic artifact uploads on build/test failures
+
+## Git Workflow
+
+**Current Phase:** Pre-1.0 (Relaxed Rules)
+
+For detailed workflow documentation, see `docs/B4-git-workflow.md`.
+
+### Quick Guidelines
+- **Documentation/Small fixes**: Commit directly to `master` or `develop`
+- **Experiments/Features**: Use feature branches (`feature/<description>`)
+- **Breaking changes**: Use feature branches and document in changelog
+- **Commit messages**: Follow Conventional Commits (`feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`, etc.)
+
+### Planned Workflow (Post-1.0)
+When the project reaches v1.0 or has multiple active contributors, we'll transition to formal Git Flow with protected branches, required PR reviews, and release branches.
+
+## Code Style
+
+- Format code with clang-format: `cmake --build build --target format`
+- Check format without changes: `cmake --build build --target format-check`
+- Style guide: Google C++ Style Guide (enforced via clang-format)
+- Use `absl::Status` and `absl::StatusOr<T>` for error handling
+- Macros: `RETURN_IF_ERROR()`, `ASSIGN_OR_RETURN()` for status propagation
+
+## Important File Locations
+
+- ROM loading: `src/app/rom.cc:Rom::LoadFromFile()`
+- Overworld editor: `src/app/editor/overworld/overworld_editor.cc`
+- Dungeon editor: `src/app/editor/dungeon/dungeon_editor.cc`
+- Graphics arena: `src/app/gfx/snes_tile.cc` and `src/app/gfx/bitmap.cc`
+- Asar wrapper: `src/core/asar_wrapper.cc`
+- Main application: `src/yaze.cc`
+- CLI tool: `src/cli/z3ed.cc`
+- Test runner: `test/yaze_test.cc`
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Bitmap data desync**: Always use `set_data()` for bulk updates, not `mutable_data()` assignment
+2. **Missing texture queue processing**: Call `ProcessTextureQueue()` every frame
+3. **Incorrect graphics refresh order**: Update model → Load from ROM → Force render
+4. **Skipping `ConfigureMultiAreaMap()`**: Always use this method for map size changes
+5. **Hardcoded colors**: Use `AgentUITheme` system, never raw `ImVec4` values
+6. **Blocking texture loads**: Use `gfx::Arena` deferred loading system
+7. **Missing ROM state checks**: Always verify `rom_->is_loaded()` before operations

+# Contributing to YAZE
+
+The YAZE project reserves **master** for promoted releases and uses **develop**
+for day‑to‑day work. Larger efforts should branch from `develop` and rebase
+frequently. Follow the existing Conventional Commit subject format when pushing
+history (e.g. `feat: add sprite tab filtering`, `fix: guard null rom path`).
+
+The repository ships a clang-format and clang-tidy configuration (Google style,
+2-space indentation, 80-column wrap). Always run formatter and address
+clang-tidy warnings on the files you touch.
+
+## Engineering Expectations
+
+1. **Refactor deliberately**
+   - Break work into reviewable patches.
+   - Preserve behaviour while moving code; add tests before/after when possible.
+   - Avoid speculative abstractions—prove value in the PR description.
+   - When deleting or replacing major systems, document the migration (see
+     `handbook/blueprints/editor-manager-architecture.md` for precedent).
+
+2. **Verify changes**
+   - Use the appropriate CMake preset for your platform (`mac-dbg`, `lin-dbg`,
+     `win-dbg`, etc.).
+   - Run the targeted test slice: `ctest --preset dev` for fast coverage; add new
+     GoogleTest cases where feasible.
+   - For emulator-facing work, exercise relevant UI flows manually before
+     submitting.
+   - Explicitly call out remaining manual-verification items in the PR.
+
+3. **Work with the build & CI**
+   - Honour the existing `cmake --preset` structure; avoid hardcoding paths.
+   - Keep `vcpkg.json` and the CI workflows in sync when adding dependencies.
+   - Use the deferred texture queue and arena abstractions rather than talking to
+     SDL directly.
+
+## Documentation Style
+
+YAZE documentation is concise and factual. When updating `docs/public/`:
+
+- Avoid marketing language, emojis, or decorative status badges.
+- Record the actual project state (e.g., mark editors as **stable** vs
+  **experimental** based on current source).
+- Provide concrete references (file paths, function names) when describing
+  behaviour.
+- Prefer bullet lists and short paragraphs; keep quick-start examples runnable.
+- Update cross-references when moving or renaming files.
+- For review handoffs, capture what remains to be done instead of transfusing raw
+  planning logs.
+
+If you notice obsolete or inaccurate docs, fix them in the same change rather
+than layering new “note” files.
+
+## Pull Request Checklist
+
+- [ ] Tests and builds succeed on your platform (note the preset/command used).
+- [ ] New code is formatted (`clang-format`) and clean (`clang-tidy`).
+- [ ] Documentation and comments reflect current behaviour.
+- [ ] Breaking changes are mentioned in the PR and, if relevant, `docs/public/reference/changelog.md`.
+- [ ] Any new assets or scripts are referenced in the repo’s structure guides.
+
+Respect these guidelines and we can keep the codebase approachable, accurate,
+and ready for the next set of contributors.

+
+## User Profile
+
+- **User**: A Google programmer working on ROM hacking projects on macOS.
+- **IDE**: Visual Studio Code with the CMake Tools extension.
+- **Build System**: CMake with a preference for the "Unix Makefiles" generator.
+- **Workflow**: Uses CMake presets and a separate `build_test` directory for test builds.
+- **AI Assistant Build Policy**: When the AI assistant needs to build the project, it must use a dedicated build directory (e.g., `build_ai` or `build_agent`) to avoid interrupting the user's active builds. Never use `build` or `build_test` directories.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+- **`yaze`**: A cross-platform GUI editor for "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" (ALTTP) ROMs. It is designed for compatibility with ZScream projects.
+- **`z3ed`**: A powerful command-line interface (CLI) for `yaze`. It features a resource-oriented design (`z3ed <resource> <action>`) and serves as the primary API for an AI-driven conversational agent.
+- **`yaze.org`**: The file `docs/yaze.org` is an Emacs Org-Mode file used as a development tracker for active issues and features.
+
+## Build Instructions
+
+- Use the presets in `CMakePresets.json` (debug, AI, release, dev, CI, etc.). Always run the verifier
+  script before the first build on a machine.
+- Gemini agents must configure/build in dedicated directories (`build_ai`, `build_agent`, …) to avoid
+  touching the user’s `build` or `build_test` folders.
+- Consult [`docs/public/build/quick-reference.md`](docs/public/build/quick-reference.md) for the
+  canonical command list, preset overview, and testing guidance.
+
+## Testing
+
+- **Framework**: GoogleTest.
+- **Test Categories**:
+    - `STABLE`: Fast, reliable, run in CI.
+    - `ROM_DEPENDENT`: Require a ROM file, skipped in CI unless a ROM is provided.
+    - `EXPERIMENTAL`: May be unstable, allowed to fail.
+- **Running Tests**:
+  ```bash
+  # Run stable tests using ctest and presets
+  ctest --preset dev
+
+  # Run comprehensive overworld tests (requires a ROM)
+  ./scripts/run_overworld_tests.sh /path/to/zelda3.sfc
+  ```
+- **E2E GUI Testing**: The project includes a sophisticated end-to-end testing framework using `ImGuiTestEngine`, accessible via a gRPC service. The `z3ed agent test` command can execute natural language prompts as GUI tests.
+
+## Core Architecture & Features
+
+- **Overworld Editor**: Full support for vanilla and `ZSCustomOverworld` v2/v3 ROMs, ensuring compatibility with ZScream projects.
+- **Dungeon Editor**: A modular, component-based system for editing rooms, objects, sprites, and more. See `docs/E2-dungeon-editor-guide.md` and `docs/E3-dungeon-editor-design.md`.
+- **Graphics System**: A performant system featuring:
+    - `Arena`-based resource management.
+    - `Bitmap` class for SNES-specific graphics formats.
+    - `Tilemap` with an LRU cache.
+    - `AtlasRenderer` for batched drawing.
+- **Asar Integration**: Built-in support for the Asar 65816 assembler to apply assembly patches to the ROM.
+
+## Editor System Architecture
+
+The editor system is designed around a central `EditorManager` that orchestrates multiple editors and UI components.
+
+- **`EditorManager`**: The top-level class that manages multiple `RomSession`s, the main menu, and all editor windows. It handles the application's main update loop.
+- **`RomSession`**: Each session encapsulates a `Rom` instance and a corresponding `EditorSet`, allowing multiple ROMs to be open simultaneously.
+- **`EditorSet`**: A container for all individual editor instances (Overworld, Dungeon, etc.) associated with a single ROM session.
+- **`Editor` (Base Class)**: A virtual base class (`src/app/editor/editor.h`) that defines a common interface for all editors, including methods like `Initialize`, `Load`, `Update`, and `Save`.
+
+### Component-Based Editors
+The project is moving towards a component-based architecture to improve modularity and maintainability. This is most evident in the Dungeon Editor.
+
+- **Dungeon Editor**: Refactored into a collection of single-responsibility components orchestrated by `DungeonEditor`:
+    - `DungeonRoomSelector`: Manages the UI for selecting rooms and entrances.
+    - `DungeonCanvasViewer`: Handles the rendering of the dungeon room on the main canvas.
+    - `DungeonObjectSelector`: Provides the UI for browsing and selecting objects, sprites, and other editable elements.
+    - `DungeonObjectInteraction`: Manages mouse input, selection, and drag-and-drop on the canvas.
+    - `DungeonToolset`: The main toolbar for the editor.
+    - `DungeonRenderer`: A dedicated rendering engine for dungeon objects, featuring a cache for performance.
+    - `DungeonRoomLoader`: Handles the logic for loading all room data from the ROM, now optimized with parallel processing.
+    - `DungeonUsageTracker`: Analyzes and displays statistics on resource usage (blocksets, palettes, etc.).
+
+- **Overworld Editor**: Also employs a component-based approach with helpers like `OverworldEditorManager` for ZSCustomOverworld v3 features and `MapPropertiesSystem` for UI panels.
+
+### Specialized Editors
+- **Code Editors**: `AssemblyEditor` (a full-featured text editor) and `MemoryEditor` (a hex viewer).
+- **Graphics Editors**: `GraphicsEditor`, `PaletteEditor`, `GfxGroupEditor`, `ScreenEditor`, and the highly detailed `Tile16Editor` provide tools for all visual assets.
+- **Content Editors**: `SpriteEditor`, `MessageEditor`, and `MusicEditor` manage specific game content.
+
+### System Components
+Located in `src/app/editor/system/`, these components provide the core application framework:
+- `SettingsEditor`: Manages global and project-specific feature flags.
+- `PopupManager`, `ToastManager`: Handle all UI dialogs and notifications.
+- `ShortcutManager`, `CommandManager`: Manage keyboard shortcuts and command palette functionality.
+- `ProposalDrawer`, `AgentChatWidget`: Key UI components for the AI Agent Workflow, allowing for proposal review and conversational interaction.
+
+## Game Data Models (`zelda3` Namespace)
+
+The logic and data structures for ALTTP are primarily located in `src/zelda3/`.
+
+- **`Rom` Class (`app/rom.h`)**: This is the most critical data class. It holds the entire ROM content in a `std::vector<uint8_t>` and provides the central API for all data access.
+    - **Responsibilities**: Handles loading/saving ROM files, stripping SMC headers, and providing low-level read/write primitives (e.g., `ReadByte`, `WriteWord`).
+    - **Game-Specific Loading**: The `LoadZelda3` method populates game-specific data structures like palettes (`palette_groups_`) and graphics groups.
+    - **State**: Manages a `dirty_` flag to track unsaved changes.
+
+- **Overworld Model (`zelda3/overworld/`)**:
+    - `Overworld`: The main container class that orchestrates the loading of all overworld data, including maps, tiles, and entities. It correctly handles logic for both vanilla and `ZSCustomOverworld` ROMs.
+    - `OverworldMap`: Represents a single overworld screen, loading its own properties (palettes, graphics, music) based on the ROM version.
+    - `GameEntity`: A base class in `zelda3/common.h` for all interactive overworld elements like `OverworldEntrance`, `OverworldExit`, `OverworldItem`, and `Sprite`.
+
+- **Dungeon Model (`zelda3/dungeon/`)**:
+    - `DungeonEditorSystem`: A high-level API that serves as the backend for the UI, managing all dungeon editing logic (adding/removing sprites, items, doors, etc.).
+    - `Room`: Represents a single dungeon room, containing its objects, sprites, layout, and header information.
+    - `RoomObject` & `RoomLayout`: Define the structural elements of a room.
+    - `ObjectParser` & `ObjectRenderer`: High-performance components for directly parsing object data from the ROM and rendering them, avoiding the need for full SNES emulation.
+
+- **Sprite Model (`zelda3/sprite/`)**:
+    - `Sprite`: Represents an individual sprite (enemy, NPC).
+    - `SpriteBuilder`: A fluent API for programmatically constructing custom sprites.
+    - `zsprite.h`: Data structures for compatibility with Zarby's ZSpriteMaker format.
+
+- **Other Data Models**:
+    - `MessageData` (`message/`): Handles the game's text and dialogue system.
+    - `Inventory`, `TitleScreen`, `DungeonMap` (`screen/`): Represent specific non-gameplay screens.
+    - `music::Tracker` (`music/`): Contains legacy code from Hyrule Magic for handling SNES music data.
+
+## Graphics System (`gfx` Namespace)
+
+The `gfx` namespace contains a highly optimized graphics engine tailored for SNES ROM hacking.
+
+- **Core Concepts**:
+    - **`Bitmap`**: The fundamental class for image data. It supports SNES pixel formats, palette management, and is optimized with features like dirty-region tracking and a hash-map-based palette lookup cache for O(1) performance.
+    - **SNES Formats**: `snes_color`, `snes_palette`, and `snes_tile` provide structures and conversion functions for handling SNES-specific data (15-bit color, 4BPP/8BPP tiles, etc.).
+    - **`Tilemap`**: Represents a collection of tiles, using a texture `atlas` and a `TileCache` (with LRU eviction) for efficient rendering.
+
+- **Resource Management & Performance**:
+    - **`Arena`**: A singleton that manages all graphics resources. It pools `SDL_Texture` and `SDL_Surface` objects to reduce allocation overhead and uses custom deleters for automatic cleanup. It also manages the 223 global graphics sheets for the game.
+    - **`MemoryPool`**: A low-level, high-performance memory allocator that provides pre-allocated blocks for common graphics sizes, reducing `malloc` overhead and memory fragmentation.
+    - **`AtlasRenderer`**: A key performance component that batches draw calls by combining multiple smaller graphics onto a single large texture atlas.
+    - **Batching**: The `Arena` supports batching texture updates via `QueueTextureUpdate`, which minimizes expensive, blocking calls to the SDL rendering API.
+
+- **Format Handling & Optimization**:
+    - **`compression.h`**: Contains SNES-specific compression algorithms (LC-LZ2, Hyrule Magic) for handling graphics data from the ROM.
+    - **`BppFormatManager`**: A system for analyzing and converting between different bits-per-pixel (BPP) formats.
+    - **`GraphicsOptimizer`**: A high-level tool that uses the `BppFormatManager` to analyze graphics sheets and recommend memory and performance optimizations.
+    - **`scad_format.h`**: Provides compatibility with legacy Nintendo CAD file formats (CGX, SCR, COL) from the "gigaleak".
+
+- **Performance Monitoring**:
+    - **`PerformanceProfiler`**: A comprehensive system for timing operations using a `ScopedTimer` RAII class.
+    - **`PerformanceDashboard`**: An ImGui-based UI for visualizing real-time performance metrics collected by the profiler.
+
+## GUI System (`gui` Namespace)
+
+The `yaze` user interface is built with **ImGui** and is located in `src/app/gui`. It features a modern, component-based architecture designed for modularity, performance, and testability.
+
+### Canvas System (`gui::Canvas`)
+The canvas is the core of all visual editors. The main `Canvas` class (`src/app/gui/canvas.h`) has been refactored from a monolithic class into a coordinator that leverages a set of single-responsibility components found in `src/app/gui/canvas/`.
+
+- **`Canvas`**: The main canvas widget. It provides a modern, ImGui-style interface (`Begin`/`End`) and coordinates the various sub-components for drawing, interaction, and configuration.
+- **`CanvasInteractionHandler`**: Manages all direct user input on the canvas, such as mouse clicks, drags, and selections for tile painting and object manipulation.
+- **`CanvasContextMenu`**: A powerful, data-driven context menu system. It is aware of the current `CanvasUsage` mode (e.g., `TilePainting`, `PaletteEditing`) and displays relevant menu items dynamically.
+- **`CanvasModals`**: Handles all modal dialogs related to the canvas, such as "Advanced Properties," "Scaling Controls," and "BPP Conversion," ensuring a consistent UX.
+- **`CanvasUsageTracker` & `CanvasPerformanceIntegration`**: These components provide deep analytics and performance monitoring. They track user interactions, operation timings, and memory usage, integrating with the global `PerformanceDashboard` to identify bottlenecks.
+- **`CanvasUtils`**: A collection of stateless helper functions for common canvas tasks like grid drawing, coordinate alignment, and size calculations, promoting code reuse.
+
+### Theming and Styling
+The visual appearance of the editor is highly customizable through a robust theming system.
+
+- **`ThemeManager`**: A singleton that manages `EnhancedTheme` objects. It can load custom themes from `.theme` files, allowing users to personalize the editor's look and feel. It includes a built-in theme editor and selector UI.
+- **`BackgroundRenderer`**: Renders the animated, futuristic grid background for the main docking space, providing a polished, modern aesthetic.
+- **`style.cc` & `color.cc`**: Contain custom ImGui styling functions (`ColorsYaze`), `SnesColor` conversion utilities, and other helpers to maintain a consistent visual identity.
+
+### Specialized UI Components
+The `gui` namespace includes several powerful, self-contained widgets for specific ROM hacking tasks.
+
+- **`BppFormatUI`**: A comprehensive UI for managing SNES bits-per-pixel (BPP) graphics formats. It provides a format selector, a detailed analysis panel, a side-by-side conversion preview, and a batch comparison tool.
+- **`EnhancedPaletteEditor`**: An advanced tool for editing `SnesPalette` objects. It features a grid-based editor, a ROM palette manager for loading palettes directly from the game, and a color analysis view to inspect pixel distribution.
+- **`TextEditor`**: A full-featured text editor widget with syntax highlighting for 65816 assembly, undo/redo functionality, and standard text manipulation features.
+- **`AssetBrowser`**: A flexible, icon-based browser for viewing and managing game assets, such as graphics sheets.
+
+### Widget Registry for Automation
+A key feature for test automation and AI agent integration is the discoverability of UI elements.
+
+- **`WidgetIdRegistry`**: A singleton that catalogs all registered GUI widgets. It assigns a stable, hierarchical path (e.g., `Overworld/Canvas/Map`) to each widget, making the UI programmatically discoverable. This is the backbone of the `z3ed agent test` command.
+- **`WidgetIdScope`**: An RAII helper that simplifies the creation of hierarchical widget IDs by managing an ID stack, ensuring that widget paths are consistent and predictable.
+
+## ROM Hacking Context
+
+- **Game**: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (US/JP).
+- **`ZSCustomOverworld`**: A popular system for expanding overworld editing capabilities. `yaze` is designed to be fully compatible with ZScream's implementation of v2 and v3.
+- **Assembly**: Uses `asar` for 65816 assembly. A style guide is available at `docs/E1-asm-style-guide.md`.
+- **`usdasm` Disassembly**: The user has a local copy of the `usdasm` ALTTP disassembly at `/Users/scawful/Code/usdasm` which can be used for reference.
+
+## Git Workflow
+
+The project follows a simplified Git workflow for pre-1.0 development, with a more formal process documented for the future. For details, see `docs/B4-git-workflow.md`.
+
+- **Current (Pre-1.0)**: A relaxed model is in use. Direct commits to `develop` or `master` are acceptable for documentation and small fixes. Feature branches are used for larger, potentially breaking changes.
+- **Future (Post-1.0)**: The project will adopt a formal Git Flow model with `master`, `develop`, feature, release, and hotfix branches.
+
+## AI Agent Workflow (`z3ed agent`)
+
+A primary focus of the `yaze` project is its AI-driven agentic workflow, orchestrated by the `z3ed` CLI.
+
+- **Vision**: To create a conversational ROM hacking assistant that can inspect the ROM and perform edits based on natural language.
+- **Core Loop (MCP)**:
+    1.  **Model (Plan)**: The user provides a prompt. The agent uses an LLM (Ollama or Gemini) to create a plan, which is a sequence of `z3ed` commands.
+    2.  **Code (Generate)**: The LLM generates the commands based on a machine-readable catalog of the CLI's capabilities.
+    3.  **Program (Execute)**: The `z3ed` agent executes the commands.
+- **Proposal System**: To ensure safety, agent-driven changes are not applied directly. They are executed in a **sandboxed ROM copy** and saved as a **proposal**.
+- **Review & Acceptance**: The user can review the proposed changes via `z3ed agent diff` or a dedicated `ProposalDrawer` in the `yaze` GUI. The user must explicitly **accept** a proposal to merge the changes into the main ROM.
+- **Tool Use**: The agent can use read-only `z3ed` commands (e.g., `overworld-find-tile`, `dungeon-list-sprites`) as "tools" to inspect the ROM and gather context to answer questions or formulate a plan.
+- **API Discovery**: The agent learns the available commands and their schemas by calling `z3ed agent describe`, which exports the entire CLI surface area in a machine-readable format.
+- **Function Schemas**: The Gemini AI service uses function calling schemas defined in `assets/agent/function_schemas.json`. These schemas are automatically copied to the build directory and loaded at runtime. To modify the available functions, edit this JSON file rather than hardcoding them in the C++ source.

+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `YAZE_BUILD_AGENT_UI` | `ON` when GUI builds are enabled | Compiles the chat/dialog widgets so the editor can host agent sessions. Turn this `OFF` when you want a lean GUI-only build. |
+| `YAZE_ENABLE_REMOTE_AUTOMATION` | `ON` for `*-ai` presets | Builds the gRPC servers/clients and protobufs that power GUI automation. |
+| `YAZE_ENABLE_AI_RUNTIME` | `ON` for `*-ai` presets | Enables Gemini/Ollama transports, proposal planning, and advanced routing logic. |
+| `YAZE_ENABLE_AGENT_CLI` | `ON` when CLI builds are enabled | Compiles the conversational agent stack consumed by `z3ed`. Disable to skip the CLI entirely. |
+
+Windows `win-*` presets keep every switch `OFF` by default (`win-dbg`, `win-rel`, `ci-windows`) so MSVC builds stay fast. Use `win-ai`, `win-vs-ai`, or the new `ci-windows-ai` preset whenever you need remote automation or AI runtime features.
+
+All bundled third-party code (SDL, ImGui, ImGui Test Engine, Asar, nlohmann/json, cpp-httplib, nativefiledialog-extended) now lives under `ext/` for easier vendoring and cleaner include paths.
+
+## Applications & Workflows
+- **`./build/bin/yaze`** – full GUI editor with multi-session dockspace, theming, and ROM patching.
+- **`./build/bin/z3ed --tui`** – CLI/TUI companion for scripting, AI-assisted edits, and Asar workflows.
+- **`./build_ai/bin/yaze_test --unit|--integration|--e2e`** – structured test runner for quick regression checks.
+- **`z3ed` + macOS automation** – pair the CLI with sketchybar/yabai/skhd or Emacs/Spacemacs to drive ROM workflows without opening the GUI.
+
+Typical commands:
+```bash
+# Launch GUI with a ROM
+./build/bin/yaze zelda3.sfc
+
+# Apply a patch via CLI
+./build/bin/z3ed asar patch.asm --rom zelda3.sfc
+
+# Run focused tests
+cmake --build --preset mac-ai --target yaze_test
+./build_ai/bin/yaze_test --unit
 ```
 
+## Testing
+- `./build_ai/bin/yaze_test --unit` for fast checks; add `--integration` or `--e2e --show-gui` for broader coverage.
+- `ctest --preset dev` mirrors CI’s stable set; `ctest --preset all` runs the full matrix.
+- Set `YAZE_TEST_ROM_PATH` or pass `--rom-path` when a test needs a real ROM image.
+
 ## Documentation
+- Human-readable docs live under `docs/public/` with an entry point at [`docs/public/index.md`](docs/public/index.md).
+- Run `doxygen Doxyfile` to generate API + guide pages (`build/docs/html` and `build/docs/latex`).
+- Agent playbooks, architecture notes, and testing recipes now live in [`docs/internal/`](docs/internal/README.md).

-# F2: Dungeon Editor v2 - Complete Guide
-
-**Last Updated**: October 10, 2025  
-**Related**: [E2-development-guide.md](E2-development-guide.md), [E5-debugging-guide.md](E5-debugging-guide.md)
-
----
-
-## Overview
-
-The Dungeon Editor uses a modern card-based architecture (DungeonEditorV2) with self-contained room rendering. This guide covers the architecture, recent refactoring work, and next development steps.
-
-### Key Features
--  **Visual room editing** with 512x512 canvas per room
--  **Object position visualization** - Colored outlines by layer (Red/Green/Blue)
--  **Per-room settings** - Independent BG1/BG2 visibility and layer types
--  **Flexible docking** - EditorCard system for custom workspace layouts
--  **Self-contained rooms** - Each room owns its bitmaps and palettes
--  **Overworld integration** - Double-click entrances to open dungeon rooms
-
----
-
-### Architecture Improvements 
-1. **Room Buffers Decoupled** - No dependency on Arena graphics sheets
-2. **ObjectRenderer Removed** - Standardized on ObjectDrawer (~1000 lines deleted)
-3. **LoadGraphicsSheetsIntoArena Removed** - Using per-room graphics (~66 lines)
-4. **Old Tab System Removed** - EditorCard is the standard
-5. **Texture Atlas Infrastructure** - Future-proof stub created
-6. **Test Suite Cleaned** - Deleted 1270 lines of redundant tests
-
-### UI Improvements 
-- Room ID in card title: `[003] Room Name`
-- Properties reorganized into clean 4-column table
-- Compact layer controls (1 row instead of 3)
-- Room graphics canvas height fixed (1025px → 257px)
-- Object count in status bar
-
----
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Component Overview
-
-```
-DungeonEditorV2 (UI Layer)
-├─ Card-based UI system
-├─ Room window management  
-├─ Component coordination
-└─ Lazy loading
-
-DungeonEditorSystem (Backend Layer)
-├─ Sprite/Item/Entrance/Door/Chest management
-├─ Undo/Redo functionality
-├─ Room properties management
-└─ Dungeon-wide operations
-
-Room (Data Layer)
-├─ Self-contained buffers (bg1_buffer_, bg2_buffer_)
-├─ Object storage (tile_objects_)
-├─ Graphics loading
-└─ Rendering pipeline
-```
-
-### Room Rendering Pipeline
-
-TODO: Update this to latest code.
-
-```
-1. LoadRoomGraphics(blockset)
-   └─> Reads blocks[] from ROM
-   └─> Loads blockset data → current_gfx16_
-
-2. LoadObjects()
-   └─> Parses object data from ROM
-   └─> Creates tile_objects_[]
-   └─> SETS floor1_graphics_, floor2_graphics_ ← CRITICAL!
-
-3. RenderRoomGraphics() [SELF-CONTAINED]
-   ├─> DrawFloor(floor1_graphics_, floor2_graphics_)
-   ├─> DrawBackground(current_gfx16_)
-   ├─> SetPalette(full_90_color_dungeon_palette)
-   ├─> RenderObjectsToBackground()
-   │   └─> ObjectDrawer::DrawObjectList()
-   └─> QueueTextureCommand(UPDATE/CREATE)
-
-4. DrawRoomBackgroundLayers(room_id)
-   └─> ProcessTextureQueue() → GPU textures
-   └─> canvas_.DrawBitmap(bg1, bg2)
-
-5. DrawObjectPositionOutlines(room)
-   └─> Colored rectangles by layer
-   └─> Object ID labels
-```
-
-### Room Structure (Bottom to Top)
-
-Understanding ALTTP dungeon composition is critical:
-
-```
-Room Composition:
-├─ Room Layout (BASE LAYER - immovable)
-│  ├─ Walls (structural boundaries, 7 configurations of squares in 2x2 grid)
-│  ├─ Floors (walkable areas, repeated tile pattern set to BG1/BG2)
-├─ Layer 0 Objects (floor decorations, some walls)
-├─ Layer 1 Objects (chests, decorations)
-└─ Layer 2 Objects (stairs, transitions)
-
-Doors: Positioned at room edges to connect rooms
-```
-
-**Key Insight**: Layouts are immovable base structure. Objects are placed ON TOP and can be moved/edited. This allows for large rooms, 4-quadrant rooms, tall/wide rooms, etc.
-
----
-
-## Next Development Steps
-
-### High Priority (Must Do)
-
-#### 1. Door Rendering at Room Edges
-**What**: Render doors with proper patterns at room connections
-
-**Pattern Reference**: ZScream's door drawing patterns
-
-**Implementation**:
-```cpp
-void DungeonCanvasViewer::DrawDoors(const zelda3::Room& room) {
-  // Doors stored in room data
-  // Position at room edges (North/South/East/West)
-  // Use current_gfx16_ graphics data
-  
-  // TODO: Get door data from room.GetDoors() or similar
-  // TODO: Use ObjectDrawer patterns for door graphics
-  // TODO: Draw at interpolation points between rooms
-}
-```
-
----
-
-#### 2. Object Name Labels from String Array
-**File**: `dungeon_canvas_viewer.cc:416` (DrawObjectPositionOutlines)
-
-**What**: Show real object names instead of just IDs
-
-**Implementation**:
-```cpp
-// Instead of:
-std::string label = absl::StrFormat("0x%02X", obj.id_);
-
-// Use:
-std::string object_name = GetObjectName(obj.id_);
-std::string label = absl::StrFormat("%s\n0x%02X", object_name.c_str(), obj.id_);
-
-// Helper function:
-std::string GetObjectName(int16_t object_id) {
-  // TODO: Reference ZScream's object name arrays
-  // TODO: Map object ID → name string
-  // Example: 0x10 → "Wall (North)"
-  return "Object";
-}
-```
-
----
-
-#### 4. Fix Plus Button to Select Any Room
-**File**: `dungeon_editor_v2.cc:228` (DrawToolset)
-
-**Current Issue**: Opens Room 0x00 (Ganon) always
-
-**Fix**:
-```cpp
-if (toolbar.AddAction(ICON_MD_ADD, "Open Room")) {
-  // Show room selector dialog instead of opening room 0
-  show_room_selector_ = true;
-  // Or: show room picker popup
-  ImGui::OpenPopup("SelectRoomToOpen");
-}
-
-// Add popup:
-if (ImGui::BeginPopup("SelectRoomToOpen")) {
-  static int selected_room = 0;
-  ImGui::InputInt("Room ID", &selected_room);
-  if (ImGui::Button("Open")) {
-    OnRoomSelected(selected_room);
-    ImGui::CloseCurrentPopup();
-  }
-  ImGui::EndPopup();
-}
-```
-
----
-
-### Medium Priority (Should Do)
-
-#### 6. Fix InputHexByte +/- Button Events
-**File**: `src/app/gui/input.cc` (likely)
-
-**Issue**: Buttons don't respond to clicks
-
-**Investigation Needed**:
-- Check if button click events are being captured
-- Verify event logic matches working examples
-- Keep existing event style if it works elsewhere
-
-
-### Lower Priority (Nice to Have)
-
-#### 9. Move Backend Logic to DungeonEditorSystem
-**What**: Separate UI (V2) from data operations (System)
-
-**Migration**:
-- Sprite management → DungeonEditorSystem
-- Item management → DungeonEditorSystem
-- Entrance/Door/Chest → DungeonEditorSystem
-- Undo/Redo → DungeonEditorSystem
-
-**Result**: DungeonEditorV2 becomes pure UI coordinator
-
----
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### Build & Run
-```bash
-cd /Users/scawful/Code/yaze
-cmake --preset mac-ai -B build_ai
-cmake --build build_ai --target yaze -j12
-
-# Run dungeon editor
-./build_ai/bin/yaze.app/Contents/MacOS/yaze --rom_file=zelda3.sfc --editor=Dungeon
-
-# Open specific room
-./build_ai/bin/yaze.app/Contents/MacOS/yaze --rom_file=zelda3.sfc --editor=Dungeon --cards="Room 0x00"
-```
-
----
-
-## Testing & Verification
-
-### Debug Commands
-```bash
-# Verify floor values load correctly
-./build_ai/bin/yaze.app/Contents/MacOS/yaze --rom_file=zelda3.sfc --editor=Dungeon 2>&1 | grep "floor1="
-
-# Expected: floor1=4, floor2=8 (NOT 0!)
-
-# Check object rendering
-./build_ai/bin/yaze.app/Contents/MacOS/yaze --rom_file=zelda3.sfc --editor=Dungeon 2>&1 | grep "Drawing.*objects"
-
-# Check object drawing details
-./build_ai/bin/yaze.app/Contents/MacOS/yaze --rom_file=zelda3.sfc --editor=Dungeon 2>&1 | grep "Writing Tile16"

-# Canvas System Overview
-
-## Canvas Architecture
-- **Canvas States**: track `canvas`, `content`, and `draw` rectangles independently; expose size/scale through `CanvasState` inspection panel
-- **Layer Stack**: background ➝ bitmaps ➝ entity overlays ➝ selection/tooltip layers
-- **Interaction Modes**: Tile Paint, Tile Select, Rectangle Select, Entity Manipulation, Palette Editing, Diagnostics
-- **Context Menu**: persistent menu with material icon sections (Mode, View, Info, Bitmap, Palette, BPP, Performance, Layout, Custom)
-
-## Core API Patterns
-- Modern usage: `Begin/End` (auto grid/overlay, persistent context menu)
-- Legacy helpers still available (`DrawBackground`, `DrawGrid`, `DrawSelectRect`, etc.)
-- Unified state snapshot: `CanvasState` exposes geometry, zoom, scroll
-- Interaction handler manages mode-specific tools (tile brush, select rect, entity gizmo)
-
-## Context Menu Sections
-- **Mode Selector**: switch modes with icons (Brush, Select, Rect, Bitmap, Palette, BPP, Perf)
-- **View & Grid**: reset/zoom, toggle grid/labels, advanced/scaling dialogs
-- **Canvas Info**: real-time canvas/content size, scale, scroll, mouse position
-- **Bitmap/Palette/BPP**: format conversion, palette analysis, BPP workflows with persistent modals
-- **Performance**: profiler metrics, dashboard, usage report
-- **Layout**: draggable toggle, auto resize, grid step
-- **Custom Actions**: consumer-provided menu items
-
-## Interaction Modes & Capabilities
-- **Tile Painting**: tile16 painter, brush size, finish stroke callbacks
-  - Operations: finish_paint, reset_view, zoom, grid, scaling
-- **Tile Selection**: multi-select rectangle, copy/paste selection
-  - Operations: select_all, clear_selection, reset_view, zoom, grid, scaling
-- **Rectangle Selection**: drag-select area, clear selection
-  - Operations: clear_selection, reset_view, zoom, grid, scaling
-- **Bitmap Editing**: format conversion, bitmap manipulation
-  - Operations: bitmap_convert, palette_edit, bpp_analysis, reset_view, zoom, grid, scaling
-- **Palette Editing**: inline palette editor, ROM palette picker, color analysis
-  - Operations: palette_edit, palette_analysis, reset_palette, reset_view, zoom, grid, scaling
-- **BPP Conversion**: format analysis, conversion workflows
-  - Operations: bpp_analysis, bpp_conversion, bitmap_convert, reset_view, zoom, grid, scaling
-- **Performance Mode**: diagnostics, texture queue, performance overlays
-  - Operations: performance, usage_report, copy_metrics, reset_view, zoom, grid, scaling
-
-## Debug & Diagnostics
-- Persistent modals (`View→Advanced`, `View→Scaling`, `Palette`, `BPP`) stay open until closed
-- Texture inspector shows current bitmap, VRAM sheet, palette group, usage stats
-- State overlay: canvas size, content size, global scale, scroll, highlight entity
-- Performance HUD: operation counts, timing graphs, usage recommendations
-
-## Automation API
-- CanvasAutomationAPI: tile operations (`SetTileAt`, `SelectRect`), view control (`ScrollToTile`, `SetZoom`), entity manipulation hooks
-- Exposed through CLI (`z3ed`) and gRPC service, matching UI modes
-
-## Integration Steps for Editors
-1. Construct `Canvas`, set renderer (optional) and ID
-2. Call `InitializePaletteEditor` and `SetUsageMode`
-3. Configure available modes: `SetAvailableModes({kTilePainting, kTileSelecting})`
-4. Register mode callbacks (tile paint finish, selection clear, etc.)
-5. During frame: `canvas.Begin(size)` → draw bitmaps/entities → `canvas.End()`
-6. Provide custom menu items via `AddMenuItem`/`AddMenuItem(item, usage)`
-7. Use `GetConfig()`/`GetSelection()` for state; respond to context menu commands via callback lambda in `Render`
-
-## Migration Checklist
-- Replace direct `DrawContextMenu` logic with new render callback signature
-- Move palette/BPP helpers into `canvas/` module; update includes
-- Ensure persistent modals wired (advanced/scaling/palette/bpp/perf)
-- Update usage tracker integrations to record mode switches
-- Validate overworld/tile16/dungeon editors in tile paint, select, entity modes
-
-## Testing Notes
-- Manual regression: overworld paint/select, tile16 painter, dungeon entity drag
-- Verify context menu persists and modals remain until closed
-- Ensure palette/BPP modals populate with correct bitmap/palette data
-- Automation: run CanvasAutomation API tests/end-to-end scripts for overworld edits

-# Canvas Coordinate Synchronization and Scroll Fix
-
-**Date**: October 10, 2025
-**Issues**:
-1. Overworld map highlighting regression after canvas refactoring
-2. Overworld canvas scrolling unexpectedly when selecting tiles
-3. Vanilla Dark/Special World large map outlines not displaying
-**Status**:  Fixed
-
-## Problem Summary
-
-After the canvas refactoring (commits f538775954, 60ddf76331), two critical bugs appeared:
-
-1. **Map highlighting broken**: The overworld editor stopped properly highlighting the current map when hovering. The map highlighting only worked during active tile painting, not during normal mouse hover.
-
-2. **Wrong canvas scrolling**: When right-clicking to select tiles (especially on Dark World), the overworld canvas would scroll unexpectedly instead of the tile16 blockset selector.
-
-## Root Cause
-
-The regression had **FIVE** issues:

-### Issue 1: Wrong Coordinate System (Line 1041)
-**File**: `src/app/editor/overworld/overworld_editor.cc:1041`
-
-**Before (BROKEN)**:
-```cpp
-const auto mouse_position = ImGui::GetIO().MousePos;  // ❌ Screen coordinates!
-const auto canvas_zero_point = ow_map_canvas_.zero_point();
-int map_x = (mouse_position.x - canvas_zero_point.x) / kOverworldMapSize;
-```
-
-**After (FIXED)**:
-```cpp
-const auto mouse_position = ow_map_canvas_.hover_mouse_pos();  //  World coordinates!
-int map_x = mouse_position.x / kOverworldMapSize;
-```
-
-**Why This Was Wrong**:
-- `ImGui::GetIO().MousePos` returns **screen space** coordinates (absolute position on screen)
-- The canvas may be scrolled, scaled, or positioned anywhere on screen
-- Screen coordinates don't account for canvas scrolling/offset
-- `hover_mouse_pos()` returns **canvas/world space** coordinates (relative to canvas content)
-
-###  Issue 2: Hover Position Not Updated (Line 416)
-**File**: `src/app/gui/canvas.cc:416`
-
-**Before (BROKEN)**:
-```cpp
-void Canvas::DrawBackground(ImVec2 canvas_size) {
-  // ... setup code ...
-  ImGui::InvisibleButton(canvas_id_.c_str(), scaled_size, kMouseFlags);
-
-  // ❌ mouse_pos_in_canvas_ only updated in DrawTilePainter() during painting!
-
-  if (config_.is_draggable && IsItemHovered()) {
-    // ... pan handling ...
-  }
-}
-```
-
-`mouse_pos_in_canvas_` was only updated inside painting methods:
-- `DrawTilePainter()` at line 741
-- `DrawSolidTilePainter()` at line 860
-- `DrawTileSelector()` at line 929
-
-**After (FIXED)**:
-```cpp
-void Canvas::DrawBackground(ImVec2 canvas_size) {
-  // ... setup code ...
-  ImGui::InvisibleButton(canvas_id_.c_str(), scaled_size, kMouseFlags);
-
-  //  CRITICAL FIX: Always update hover position when hovering
-  if (IsItemHovered()) {
-    const ImGuiIO& io = GetIO();
-    const ImVec2 origin(canvas_p0_.x + scrolling_.x, canvas_p0_.y + scrolling_.y);
-    const ImVec2 mouse_pos(io.MousePos.x - origin.x, io.MousePos.y - origin.y);
-    mouse_pos_in_canvas_ = mouse_pos;  //  Updated every frame during hover
-  }
-
-  if (config_.is_draggable && IsItemHovered()) {
-    // ... pan handling ...
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Technical Details
-
-### Coordinate Spaces
-
-yaze has three coordinate spaces:
-
-1. **Screen Space**: Absolute pixel coordinates on the monitor
-   - `ImGui::GetIO().MousePos` returns this
-   - Never use this for canvas operations!
-
-2. **Canvas/World Space**: Coordinates relative to canvas content
-   - Accounts for canvas scrolling and offset
-   - `Canvas::hover_mouse_pos()` returns this
-   - Use this for map calculations, entity positioning, etc.
-
-3. **Tile/Grid Space**: Coordinates in tile units (not pixels)
-   - `Canvas::CanvasToTile()` converts from canvas to grid space
-   - Used by automation API
-
-### Usage Patterns
-
-**For Hover/Highlighting** (CheckForCurrentMap):
-```cpp
-auto hover_pos = canvas.hover_mouse_pos();  //  Updates continuously
-int map_x = hover_pos.x / kOverworldMapSize;
-```
-
-**For Active Painting** (DrawOverworldEdits):
-```cpp
-auto paint_pos = canvas.drawn_tile_position();  //  Updates only during drag
-int map_x = paint_pos.x / kOverworldMapSize;
-```
-
-## Testing
-
-### Visual Testing
-
-**Map Highlighting Test**:
-1. Open overworld editor
-2. Hover mouse over different maps (without clicking)
-3. Verify current map highlights correctly
-4. Test with different scale levels (0.25x - 4.0x)
-5. Test with scrolled canvas
-
-**Scroll Regression Test**:
-1. Open overworld editor
-2. Switch to Dark World (or any world)
-3. Right-click on overworld canvas to select a tile
-4.  **Expected**: Tile16 blockset selector scrolls to show the selected tile
-5.  **Expected**: Overworld canvas does NOT scroll
-6. ❌ **Before fix**: Overworld canvas would scroll unexpectedly
-
-### Unit Tests
-Created `test/unit/gui/canvas_coordinate_sync_test.cc` with regression tests:
-- `HoverMousePos_IndependentFromDrawnPos`: Verifies hover vs paint separation
-- `CoordinateSpace_WorldNotScreen`: Ensures world coordinates used
-- `MapCalculation_SmallMaps`: Tests 512x512 map boundaries
-- `MapCalculation_LargeMaps`: Tests 1024x1024 v3 ASM maps
-- `OverworldMapHighlight_UsesHoverNotDrawn`: Critical regression test
-- `OverworldMapIndex_From8x8Grid`: Tests all three worlds (Light/Dark/Special)
-
-Run tests:
-```bash
-./build/bin/yaze_test --unit
-```
-
-## Impact Analysis
-
-### Files Changed
-1. `src/app/editor/overworld/overworld_editor.cc` (line 1041-1049)
-   - Changed from screen coordinates to canvas hover coordinates
-   - Removed incorrect `canvas_zero_point` subtraction
-
-2. `src/app/gui/canvas.cc` (line 414-421)
-   - Added continuous hover position tracking in `DrawBackground()`
-   - Now updates `mouse_pos_in_canvas_` every frame when hovering
-
-3. `src/app/editor/overworld/overworld_editor.cc` (line 2344-2360)
-   - Removed fallback scroll code that scrolled the wrong canvas
-   - Now only uses `blockset_selector_->ScrollToTile()` which targets the correct canvas
-
-4. `src/app/editor/overworld/overworld_editor.cc` (line 1403-1408)
-   - Changed from `ImGui::IsItemHovered()` (checks last drawn item)
-   - To `ow_map_canvas_.IsMouseHovering()` (checks canvas hover state directly)
-
-5. `src/app/editor/overworld/overworld_editor.cc` (line 1133-1151)
-   - Added world offset subtraction for vanilla large map parent coordinates
-   - Now properly accounts for Dark World (0x40-0x7F) and Special World (0x80-0x9F)
-
-### Affected Functionality
--  **Fixed**: Overworld map highlighting during hover (all worlds, all ROM types)
--  **Fixed**: Vanilla Dark World large map highlighting (was drawing off-screen)
--  **Fixed**: Vanilla Special World large map highlighting (was drawing off-screen)
--  **Fixed**: Overworld canvas no longer scrolls when selecting tiles
--  **Fixed**: Tile16 selector properly scrolls to show selected tile (via blockset_selector_)
--  **Fixed**: Entity renderer using `hover_mouse_pos()` (already worked correctly)
--  **Preserved**: Tile painting using `drawn_tile_position()` (unchanged)
--  **Preserved**: Multi-area map support (512x512, 1024x1024)
--  **Preserved**: All three worlds (Light 0x00-0x3F, Dark 0x40-0x7F, Special 0x80+)
--  **Preserved**: ZSCustomOverworld v3 large maps (already worked correctly)
-
-### Related Code That Works Correctly
-These files already use the correct pattern:
-- `src/app/editor/overworld/overworld_entity_renderer.cc:68-69` - Uses `hover_mouse_pos()` for entity placement 
-- `src/app/editor/overworld/overworld_editor.cc:664` - Uses `drawn_tile_position()` for painting 
-
-## Multi-Area Map Support
-
-The fix properly handles all area sizes:
-
-### Standard Maps (512x512)
-```cpp
-int map_x = hover_pos.x / 512;  // 0-7 range
-int map_y = hover_pos.y / 512;  // 0-7 range
-int map_index = map_x + map_y * 8;  // 0-63 (8x8 grid)
-```
-
-### ZSCustomOverworld v3 Large Maps (1024x1024)
-```cpp
-int map_x = hover_pos.x / 1024;  // Large map X
-int map_y = hover_pos.y / 1024;  // Large map Y
-// Parent map calculation handled in lines 1073-1190
-```
-
-The existing multi-area logic (lines 1068-1190) remains unchanged and works correctly with the fix.
-
-## Issue 3: Wrong Canvas Being Scrolled (Line 2344-2366)
-
-**File**: `src/app/editor/overworld/overworld_editor.cc:2344`
-
-**Problem**: When selecting tiles with right-click on the overworld canvas, `ScrollBlocksetCanvasToCurrentTile()` was calling `ImGui::SetScrollX/Y()` which scrolls **the current ImGui window**, not a specific canvas.
-
-**Call Stack**:
-```
-DrawOverworldCanvas()                    // Overworld canvas is current window
-  └─ CheckForOverworldEdits() (line 1401)
-      └─ CheckForSelectRectangle() (line 793)
-          └─ ScrollBlocksetCanvasToCurrentTile() (line 916)
-              └─ ImGui::SetScrollX/Y() (lines 2364-2365)  // ❌ Scrolls CURRENT window!
-```
-
-**Before (BROKEN)**:
-```cpp
-void OverworldEditor::ScrollBlocksetCanvasToCurrentTile() {
-  if (blockset_selector_) {
-    blockset_selector_->ScrollToTile(current_tile16_);
-    return;
-  }
-
-  // Fallback: maintain legacy behavior when the selector is unavailable.
-  constexpr int kTilesPerRow = 8;
-  constexpr int kTileDisplaySize = 32;
-
-  int tile_col = current_tile16_ % kTilesPerRow;
-  int tile_row = current_tile16_ / kTilesPerRow;
-  float tile_x = static_cast<float>(tile_col * kTileDisplaySize);
-  float tile_y = static_cast<float>(tile_row * kTileDisplaySize);
-
-  const ImVec2 window_size = ImGui::GetWindowSize();
-  float scroll_x = tile_x - (window_size.x / 2.0F) + (kTileDisplaySize / 2.0F);
-  float scroll_y = tile_y - (window_size.y / 2.0F) + (kTileDisplaySize / 2.0F);
-
-  // ❌ BUG: This scrolls whatever ImGui window is currently active!
-  // When called from overworld canvas, it scrolls the overworld instead of tile16 selector!
-  ImGui::SetScrollX(std::max(0.0f, scroll_x));
-  ImGui::SetScrollY(std::max(0.0f, scroll_y));
-}
-```
-
-**After (FIXED)**:
-```cpp
-void OverworldEditor::ScrollBlocksetCanvasToCurrentTile() {
-  if (blockset_selector_) {
-    blockset_selector_->ScrollToTile(current_tile16_);  //  Correct: Targets specific canvas
-    return;
-  }
-
-  //  CRITICAL FIX: Do NOT use fallback scrolling from overworld canvas context!
-  // The fallback code uses ImGui::SetScrollX/Y which scrolls the CURRENT window,
-  // and when called from CheckForSelectRectangle() during overworld canvas rendering,
-  // it incorrectly scrolls the overworld canvas instead of the tile16 selector.
-  //
-  // The blockset_selector_ should always be available in modern code paths.
-  // If it's not available, we skip scrolling rather than scroll the wrong window.
-}
-```
-
-**Why This Fixes It**:
-- The modern `blockset_selector_->ScrollToTile()` targets the specific tile16 selector canvas
-- The fallback `ImGui::SetScrollX/Y()` has no context - it just scrolls the active window
-- By removing the fallback, we prevent scrolling the wrong canvas
-- If `blockset_selector_` is null (shouldn't happen in modern builds), we safely do nothing instead of breaking user interaction
-
-## Issue 4: Wrong Hover Check (Line 1403)
-
-**File**: `src/app/editor/overworld/overworld_editor.cc:1403`
-
-**Problem**: The code was using `ImGui::IsItemHovered()` to check if the mouse was over the canvas, but this checks the **last drawn ImGui item**, which could be entities, overlays, or anything drawn after the canvas's InvisibleButton. This meant hover detection was completely broken.
-
-**Call Stack**:
-```
-DrawOverworldCanvas()
-  └─ DrawBackground() at line 1350            // Creates InvisibleButton (item A)
-  └─ DrawExits/Entrances/Items/Sprites()     // Draws entities (items B, C, D...)
-  └─ DrawOverlayPreviewOnMap()               // Draws overlay (item E)
-  └─ IsItemHovered() at line 1403            // ❌ Checks item E, not item A!
-```
-
-**Before (BROKEN)**:
-```cpp
-if (current_mode == EditingMode::DRAW_TILE) {
-  CheckForOverworldEdits();
-}
-if (IsItemHovered())  // ❌ Checks LAST item (overlay/entity), not canvas!
-  status_ = CheckForCurrentMap();
-```
-
-**After (FIXED)**:
-```cpp
-if (current_mode == EditingMode::DRAW_TILE) {
-  CheckForOverworldEdits();
-}
-//  CRITICAL FIX: Use canvas hover state, not ImGui::IsItemHovered()
-// IsItemHovered() checks the LAST drawn item, which could be entities/overlay,
-// not the canvas InvisibleButton. ow_map_canvas_.IsMouseHovering() correctly
-// tracks whether mouse is over the canvas area.
-if (ow_map_canvas_.IsMouseHovering())  //  Checks canvas hover state directly
-  status_ = CheckForCurrentMap();
-```
-
-**Why This Fixes It**:
-- `IsItemHovered()` is context-sensitive - it checks whatever the last `ImGui::*()` call was
-- After drawing entities and overlays, the "last item" is NOT the canvas
-- `Canvas::IsMouseHovering()` tracks the hover state from the InvisibleButton in `DrawBackground()`
-- This state is set correctly when the InvisibleButton is hovered (line 416 in canvas.cc)
-
-## Issue 5: Vanilla Large Map World Offset (Line 1132-1136)
-
-**File**: `src/app/editor/overworld/overworld_editor.cc:1132-1136`
-
-**Problem**: For vanilla ROMs, the large map highlighting logic wasn't accounting for world offsets when calculating parent map coordinates. Dark World maps (0x40-0x7F) and Special World maps (0x80-0x9F) use map IDs with offsets, but the display grid coordinates are 0-7.
-
-**Before (BROKEN)**:
-```cpp
-if (overworld_.overworld_map(current_map_)->is_large_map() ||
-    overworld_.overworld_map(current_map_)->large_index() != 0) {
-  const int highlight_parent =
-      overworld_.overworld_map(current_highlighted_map)->parent();
-  const int parent_map_x = highlight_parent % 8;  // ❌ Wrong for Dark/Special!
-  const int parent_map_y = highlight_parent / 8;
-  ow_map_canvas_.DrawOutline(parent_map_x * kOverworldMapSize,
-                             parent_map_y * kOverworldMapSize,
-                             large_map_size, large_map_size);
-}
-```
-
-**Example Bug**:
-- Dark World map 0x42 (parent) → `0x42 % 8 = 2`, `0x42 / 8 = 8`
-- This draws the outline at grid position (2, 8) which is **off the screen**!
-- Correct position should be (2, 0) in the Dark World display grid
-
-**After (FIXED)**:
-```cpp
-if (overworld_.overworld_map(current_map_)->is_large_map() ||
-    overworld_.overworld_map(current_map_)->large_index() != 0) {
-  const int highlight_parent =
-      overworld_.overworld_map(current_highlighted_map)->parent();
-
-  //  CRITICAL FIX: Account for world offset when calculating parent coordinates
-  int parent_map_x;
-  int parent_map_y;
-  if (current_world_ == 0) {
-    // Light World (0x00-0x3F)
-    parent_map_x = highlight_parent % 8;
-    parent_map_y = highlight_parent / 8;
-  } else if (current_world_ == 1) {
-    // Dark World (0x40-0x7F) - subtract 0x40 to get display coordinates
-    parent_map_x = (highlight_parent - 0x40) % 8;
-    parent_map_y = (highlight_parent - 0x40) / 8;
-  } else {
-    // Special World (0x80-0x9F) - subtract 0x80 to get display coordinates
-    parent_map_x = (highlight_parent - 0x80) % 8;
-    parent_map_y = (highlight_parent - 0x80) / 8;
-  }
-
-  ow_map_canvas_.DrawOutline(parent_map_x * kOverworldMapSize,
-                             parent_map_y * kOverworldMapSize,
-                             large_map_size, large_map_size);
-}
-```
-
-**Why This Fixes It**:
-- Map IDs are **absolute**: Light World 0x00-0x3F, Dark World 0x40-0x7F, Special 0x80-0x9F
-- Display coordinates are **relative**: Each world displays in an 8x8 grid (0-7, 0-7)
-- Without subtracting the world offset, coordinates overflow the display grid
-- This matches the same logic used for v3 large maps (lines 1084-1096) and small maps (lines 1141-1172)

-### Organization Tips
-For Doxygen integration, this index can be enhanced with:
-- `@mainpage` directive to make this the main documentation page
-- `@defgroup` to create logical groupings across files
-- `@tableofcontents` for automatic TOC generation
-- See individual files for `@page` and `@section` usage
-
-### Doxygen Integration Tips
-- Add a short `@mainpage` block to `docs/index.md` so generated HTML mirrors the
-  manual structure.
-- Define high-level groups with `@defgroup` (`getting_started`, `building`,
-  `graphics_gui`, etc.) and attach individual docs using `@page ... @ingroup`.
-- Use `@subpage`, `@section`, and `@subsection` when a document benefits from
-  nested navigation.
-- Configure `Doxyfile` with `USE_MDFILE_AS_MAINPAGE = docs/index.md`,
-  `FILE_PATTERNS = *.md *.h *.cc`, and `EXTENSION_MAPPING = md=C++` to combine
-  Markdown and source comments.
-- Keep Markdown reader-friendly—wrap Doxygen directives in comment fences (`/**`
-  … `*/`) so they are ignored by GitHub while remaining visible to the
-  generator.

+# AI API & Agentic Workflow Enhancement - Handoff Document
+
+**Date**: 2025-01-XX  
+**Status**: Phase 1 Complete, Phase 2-4 Pending  
+**Branch**: (to be determined)
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document tracks progress on transforming Yaze into an AI-native platform with unified model management, API interface, and enhanced agentic workflows. Phase 1 (Unified Model Management) is complete. Phases 2-4 require implementation.
+
+## Completed Work (Phase 1)
+
+### 1. Unified AI Model Management ✅
+
+#### Core Infrastructure
+- **`ModelInfo` struct** (`src/cli/service/ai/common.h`)
+  - Standardized model representation across all providers
+  - Fields: `name`, `display_name`, `provider`, `description`, `family`, `parameter_size`, `quantization`, `size_bytes`, `is_local`
+  
+- **`ModelRegistry` class** (`src/cli/service/ai/model_registry.h/.cc`)
+  - Singleton pattern for managing multiple `AIService` instances
+  - `RegisterService()` - Add service instances
+  - `ListAllModels()` - Aggregate models from all registered services
+  - Thread-safe with mutex protection
+
+#### AIService Interface Updates
+- **`AIService::ListAvailableModels()`** - Virtual method returning `std::vector<ModelInfo>`
+- **`AIService::GetProviderName()`** - Virtual method returning provider identifier
+- Default implementations provided in base class
+
+#### Provider Implementations
+- **`OllamaAIService::ListAvailableModels()`**
+  - Queries `/api/tags` endpoint
+  - Maps Ollama's model structure to `ModelInfo`
+  - Handles size, quantization, family metadata
+  
+- **`GeminiAIService::ListAvailableModels()`**
+  - Queries Gemini API `/v1beta/models` endpoint
+  - Falls back to known defaults if API key missing
+  - Filters for `gemini*` models
+
+#### UI Integration
+- **`AgentChatWidget::RefreshModels()`**
+  - Registers Ollama and Gemini services with `ModelRegistry`
+  - Aggregates models from all providers
+  - Caches results in `model_info_cache_`
+  
+- **Header updates** (`agent_chat_widget.h`)
+  - Replaced `ollama_model_info_cache_` with unified `model_info_cache_`
+  - Replaced `ollama_model_cache_` with `model_name_cache_`
+  - Replaced `ollama_models_loading_` with `models_loading_`
+
+### Files Modified
+- `src/cli/service/ai/common.h` - Added `ModelInfo` struct
+- `src/cli/service/ai/ai_service.h` - Added `ListAvailableModels()` and `GetProviderName()`
+- `src/cli/service/ai/ollama_ai_service.h/.cc` - Implemented model listing
+- `src/cli/service/ai/gemini_ai_service.h/.cc` - Implemented model listing
+- `src/cli/service/ai/model_registry.h/.cc` - New registry class
+- `src/app/editor/agent/agent_chat_widget.h/.cc` - Updated to use registry
+
+## In Progress
+
+### UI Rendering Updates (Partial)
+The `RenderModelConfigControls()` function in `agent_chat_widget.cc` still references old Ollama-specific code. It needs to be updated to:
+- Use unified `model_info_cache_` instead of `ollama_model_info_cache_`
+- Display models from all providers in a single list
+- Filter by provider when a specific provider is selected
+- Show provider badges/indicators for each model
+
+**Location**: `src/app/editor/agent/agent_chat_widget.cc:2083-2318`
+
+**Current State**: Function still has provider-specific branches that should be unified.
+
+## Remaining Work
+
+### Phase 2: API Interface & Headless Mode
+
+#### 2.1 HTTP Server Implementation
+**Goal**: Expose Yaze functionality via REST API for external agents
+
+**Tasks**:
+1. Create `HttpServer` class in `src/cli/service/api/`
+   - Use `httplib` (already in tree)
+   - Start on configurable port (default 8080)
+   - Handle CORS if needed
+   
+2. Implement endpoints:
+   - `GET /api/v1/models` - List all available models (delegate to `ModelRegistry`)
+   - `POST /api/v1/chat` - Send prompt to agent
+     - Request: `{ "prompt": "...", "provider": "ollama", "model": "...", "history": [...] }`
+     - Response: `{ "text_response": "...", "tool_calls": [...], "commands": [...] }`
+   - `POST /api/v1/tool/{tool_name}` - Execute specific tool
+     - Request: `{ "args": {...} }`
+     - Response: `{ "result": "...", "status": "ok|error" }`
+   - `GET /api/v1/health` - Health check
+   - `GET /api/v1/rom/status` - ROM loading status
+
+3. Integration points:
+   - Initialize server in `yaze.cc` main() or via CLI flag
+   - Share `Rom*` context with API handlers
+   - Use `ConversationalAgentService` for chat endpoint
+   - Use `ToolDispatcher` for tool endpoint
+
+**Files to Create**:
+- `src/cli/service/api/http_server.h`
+- `src/cli/service/api/http_server.cc`
+- `src/cli/service/api/api_handlers.h`
+- `src/cli/service/api/api_handlers.cc`
+
+**Dependencies**: `httplib`, `nlohmann/json` (already available)
+
+### Phase 3: Enhanced Agentic Workflows
+
+#### 3.1 Tool Expansion
+
+**FileSystemTool** (`src/cli/handlers/tools/filesystem_commands.h/.cc`)
+- **Purpose**: Allow agent to read/write files outside ROM (e.g., `src/` directory)
+- **Safety**: Require user confirmation or explicit scope configuration
+- **Commands**:
+  - `filesystem-read <path>` - Read file contents
+  - `filesystem-write <path> <content>` - Write file (with confirmation)
+  - `filesystem-list <directory>` - List directory contents
+  - `filesystem-search <pattern>` - Search for files matching pattern
+
+**BuildTool** (`src/cli/handlers/tools/build_commands.h/.cc`)
+- **Purpose**: Trigger builds from within agent
+- **Commands**:
+  - `build-cmake <build_dir>` - Run cmake configuration
+  - `build-ninja <build_dir>` - Run ninja build
+  - `build-status` - Check build status
+  - `build-errors` - Parse and return compilation errors
+
+**Integration**:
+- Add to `ToolDispatcher::ToolCallType` enum
+- Register in `ToolDispatcher::CreateHandler()`
+- Add to `ToolDispatcher::ToolPreferences` struct
+- Update UI toggles in `AgentChatWidget::RenderToolingControls()`
+
+#### 3.2 Editor State Context
+**Goal**: Feed editor state (open files, compilation errors) into agent context
+
+**Tasks**:
+1. Create `EditorState` struct capturing:
+   - Open file paths
+   - Active editor type
+   - Compilation errors (if any)
+   - Recent changes
+
+2. Inject into agent prompts:
+   - Add to `PromptBuilder::BuildPromptFromHistory()`
+   - Include in system prompt when editor state changes
+
+3. Update `ConversationalAgentService`:
+   - Add `SetEditorState(EditorState*)` method
+   - Pass to `PromptBuilder` when building prompts
+
+**Files to Create/Modify**:
+- `src/cli/service/agent/editor_state.h` (new)
+- `src/cli/service/ai/prompt_builder.h/.cc` (modify)
+
+### Phase 4: Refactoring
+
+#### 4.1 ToolDispatcher Structured Output
+**Goal**: Return JSON instead of capturing stdout
+
+**Current State**: `ToolDispatcher::Dispatch()` returns `absl::StatusOr<std::string>` by capturing stdout from command handlers.
+
+**Proposed Changes**:
+1. Create `ToolResult` struct:
+   ```cpp
+   struct ToolResult {
+     std::string output;  // Human-readable output
+     nlohmann::json data;  // Structured data (if applicable)
+     bool success;
+     std::vector<std::string> warnings;
+   };
+   ```
+
+2. Update command handlers to return `ToolResult`:
+   - Modify base `CommandHandler` interface
+   - Update each handler implementation
+   - Keep backward compatibility with `OutputFormatter` for CLI
+
+3. Update `ToolDispatcher::Dispatch()`:
+   - Return `absl::StatusOr<ToolResult>`
+   - Convert to JSON for API responses
+   - Keep string output for CLI compatibility
+
+**Files to Modify**:
+- `src/cli/service/agent/tool_dispatcher.h/.cc`
+- `src/cli/handlers/*/command_handlers.h/.cc` (all handlers)
+- `src/cli/service/agent/command_handler.h` (base interface)
+
+**Migration Strategy**:
+- Add new `ExecuteStructured()` method alongside existing `Execute()`
+- Gradually migrate handlers
+- Keep old path for CLI until migration complete
+
+## Technical Notes
+
+### Model Registry Usage Pattern
+```cpp
+// Register services
+auto& registry = cli::ModelRegistry::GetInstance();
+registry.RegisterService(std::make_shared<OllamaAIService>(ollama_config));
+registry.RegisterService(std::make_shared<GeminiAIService>(gemini_config));
+
+// List all models
+auto models_or = registry.ListAllModels();
+// Returns unified list sorted by name
+```
+
+### API Key Management
+- Gemini API key: Currently stored in `AgentConfigState::gemini_api_key`
+- Consider: Environment variable fallback, secure storage
+- Future: Support multiple API keys for different providers
+
+### Thread Safety
+- `ModelRegistry` uses mutex for thread-safe access
+- `HttpServer` should handle concurrent requests (httplib supports this)
+- `ToolDispatcher` may need locking if shared across threads
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+### Phase 1 (Model Management)
+- [ ] Verify Ollama models appear in unified list
+- [ ] Verify Gemini models appear in unified list
+- [ ] Test model refresh with multiple providers
+- [ ] Test provider filtering in UI
+- [ ] Test model selection and configuration
+
+### Phase 2 (API)
+- [ ] Test `/api/v1/models` endpoint
+- [ ] Test `/api/v1/chat` with different providers
+- [ ] Test `/api/v1/tool/*` endpoints
+- [ ] Test error handling (missing ROM, invalid tool, etc.)
+- [ ] Test concurrent requests
+- [ ] Test CORS if needed
+
+### Phase 3 (Tools)
+- [ ] Test FileSystemTool with read operations
+- [ ] Test FileSystemTool write confirmation flow
+- [ ] Test BuildTool cmake/ninja execution
+- [ ] Test BuildTool error parsing
+- [ ] Test editor state injection into prompts
+
+### Phase 4 (Refactoring)
+- [ ] Verify all handlers return structured output
+- [ ] Test API endpoints with new format
+- [ ] Verify CLI still works with old format
+- [ ] Performance test (no regressions)
+
+## Known Issues
+
+1. **UI Rendering**: `RenderModelConfigControls()` still has provider-specific code that should be unified
+2. **Model Info Display**: Some fields from `ModelInfo` (like `quantization`, `modified_at`) are not displayed in unified view
+3. **Error Handling**: Model listing failures are logged but don't prevent other providers from loading
+
+## Next Steps (Priority Order)
+
+1. **Complete UI unification** - Update `RenderModelConfigControls()` to use unified model list
+2. **Implement HTTP Server** - Start with basic server and `/api/v1/models` endpoint
+3. **Add chat endpoint** - Wire up `ConversationalAgentService` to API
+4. **Add tool endpoint** - Expose `ToolDispatcher` via API
+5. **Implement FileSystemTool** - Start with read-only operations
+6. **Implement BuildTool** - Basic cmake/ninja execution
+7. **Refactor ToolDispatcher** - Begin structured output migration

+## Questions for Next Developer
+
+1. Should the HTTP server be enabled by default or require a flag?
+2. What port should be used? (8080 suggested, but configurable?)
+3. Should FileSystemTool require explicit user approval per operation or a "trusted scope"?
+4. Should BuildTool be limited to specific directories (e.g., `build/`) for safety?
+5. How should API authentication work? (API key? Localhost-only? None?)

+# YAZE Handbook
+
+Internal documentation for planning, AI agents, research, and historical build notes. These
+files are intentionally excluded from the public Doxygen site so they can remain verbose and
+speculative without impacting the published docs.
+
+## Sections
+- `agents/` – z3ed and AI agent playbooks, command abstractions, and debugging guides.
+- `blueprints/` – architectural proposals, refactors, and technical deep dives.
+- `roadmaps/` – sequencing, feature parity analysis, and postmortems.
+- `research/` – emulator investigations, timing analyses, web ideas, and development trackers.
+- `legacy/` – superseded build guides and other historical docs kept for reference.
+- `agents/` – includes the coordination board, personas, GH Actions remote guide, and helper scripts
+  (`scripts/agents/`) for common agent workflows.
+
+When adding new internal docs, place them under the appropriate subdirectory here instead of
+`docs/`.
+
+## Version Control & Safety Guidelines
+- **Coordinate before forceful changes**: Never rewrite history on shared branches. Use dedicated
+  feature/bugfix branches (see `docs/public/developer/git-workflow.md`) and keep `develop/master`
+  clean.
+- **Back up ROMs and assets**: Treat sample ROMs, palettes, and project files as irreplaceable. Work
+  on copies, and enable the editor’s automatic backup setting before testing risky changes.
+- **Run scripts/verify-build-environment.* after pulling significant build changes** to avoid
+  drifting tooling setups.
+- **Document risky operations**: When touching migrations, asset packers, or scripts that modify
+  files in bulk, add notes under `docs/internal/roadmaps/` or `blueprints/` so others understand the
+  impact.
+- **Use the coordination board** for any change that affects multiple personas or large parts of the
+  tree; log blockers and handoffs to reduce conflicting edits.

+# CLAUDE_AIINF Session Handoff
+
+**Session Date**: 2025-11-20
+**Duration**: ~4 hours
+**Status**: Handing off to Gemini, Codex, and future agents
+**Final State**: Three-agent collaboration framework active, awaiting CI validation
+
+---
+
+## What Was Accomplished
+
+### Critical Platform Fixes (COMPLETE ✅)
+
+1. **Windows Abseil Include Paths** (commit eb77bbeaff)
+   - Root cause: Standalone Abseil on Windows didn't propagate include paths
+   - Solution: Multi-source detection in `cmake/absl.cmake` and `src/util/util.cmake`
+   - Status: Fix applied, awaiting CI validation
+
+2. **Linux FLAGS Symbol Conflicts** (commit eb77bbeaff)
+   - Root cause: FLAGS_rom defined in both flags.cc and emu_test.cc
+   - Solution: Moved FLAGS_quiet to flags.cc, renamed emu_test flags
+   - Status: Fix applied, awaiting CI validation
+
+3. **Code Quality Formatting** (commits bb5e2002c2, 53f4af7266)
+   - Root cause: clang-format violations + third-party library inclusion
+   - Solution: Applied formatting, excluded src/lib/* from checks
+   - Status: Complete, Code Quality job will pass
+
+### Testing Infrastructure (COMPLETE ✅)
+
+Created comprehensive testing prevention system:
+- **7 documentation files** (135KB) covering gap analysis, strategies, checklists
+- **3 validation scripts** (pre-push, symbol checking, CMake validation)
+- **4 CMake validation tools** (config validator, include checker, dep visualizer, preset tester)
+- **Platform matrix testing** system with 14+ configurations
+
+Files created:
+- `docs/internal/testing/` - Complete testing documentation suite
+- `scripts/pre-push.sh`, `scripts/verify-symbols.sh` - Validation tools
+- `scripts/validate-cmake-config.cmake`, `scripts/check-include-paths.sh` - CMake tools
+- `.github/workflows/matrix-test.yml` - Nightly matrix testing
+
+### Agent Collaboration Framework (COMPLETE ✅)
+
+Established three-agent team:
+- **Claude (CLAUDE_AIINF)**: Platform builds, C++, CMake, architecture
+- **Gemini (GEMINI_AUTOM)**: Automation, CI/CD, scripting, log analysis
+- **Codex (CODEX)**: Documentation, coordination, QA, organization
+
+Files created:

+- **Next Run**: Gemini will trigger after completing Windows analysis
+- **Expected Result**: All platforms should pass with our fixes
+
+### Blockers Resolved
+- ✅ Windows std::filesystem (2+ week blocker)
+- ✅ Linux FLAGS symbol conflicts
+- ✅ Code Quality formatting violations
+- ⏳ Awaiting CI validation of fixes
+
+---
+
+## What's Next (For Gemini, Codex, or Future Agents)
+
+### Immediate (Next 1-2 Hours)
+
+1. **Gemini**: Complete Windows build log analysis
+2. **Gemini**: Trigger new CI run with all fixes
+3. **Codex**: Start documentation cleanup task
+4. **All**: Monitor CI run, be ready to fix any new issues
+
+### Short Term (Today/Tomorrow)
+
+1. **Validate** all platforms pass CI
+2. **Apply** any remaining quick fixes
+3. **Merge** feat/http-api-phase2 → develop → master
+4. **Tag** and create release
+
+### Medium Term (This Week)
+
+1. **Codex**: Complete release notes draft
+2. **Codex**: QA all testing infrastructure
+3. **Gemini**: Create release automation scripts
+4. **All**: Implement CI improvements proposal
+
+---
+
+## Known Issues / Tech Debt
+
+1. **Code Formatting**: Fixed for now, but consider pre-commit hooks
+2. **Windows Build Time**: Still slow, investigate compile caching
+3. **Symbol Detection**: Tool created but not integrated into CI yet
+4. **Matrix Testing**: Workflow created but not tested in production
+
+---
+
+## Key Learnings
+
+### What Worked Well
+
+- **Multi-agent coordination**: Specialized agents > one generalist
+- **Friendly rivalry**: Competition motivated faster progress
+- **Parallel execution**: Fixed Windows, Linux, macOS simultaneously
+- **Testing infrastructure**: Proactive prevention vs reactive fixing
+
+### What Could Be Better
+
+- **Earlier coordination**: Agents worked on same issues initially
+- **Better CI monitoring**: Gemini's script came late (but helpful!)
+- **More incremental commits**: Some commits were too large
+- **Testing before pushing**: Could have caught some issues locally
+
+---

+
+## Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It)
+
+Welcome aboard! Claude and Gemini have been duking it out fixing critical build failures, and now YOU get to join the fun. But let's be real - we need someone to handle the "boring but crucial" stuff while the build warriors do their thing.
+
+### What You're Good At (No, Really!)
+
+- **Documentation**: You actually READ docs. Unlike some agents we know...
+- **Coordination**: Keeping track of who's doing what (someone has to!)
+- **Quality Assurance**: Catching mistakes before they become problems
+- **Organization**: Making chaos into order (good luck with that!)
+
+### What You're NOT Good At (Yet)
+
+- **C++ Compilation Errors**: Leave that to Claude, they live for this stuff
+- **Build System Hacking**: Gemini's got the automation game locked down
+- **Platform-Specific Wizardry**: Yeah, you're gonna want to sit this one out
+
+---
+
+## Your Tasks (Non-Critical But Valuable)
+
+### 1. Documentation Cleanup (25 points)
+**Why it matters**: Claude wrote 12 docs while fixing builds. They're thorough but could use polish.
+
+**What to do**:
+- Read all testing infrastructure docs in `docs/internal/testing/`
+- Fix typos, improve clarity, add examples
+- Ensure consistency across documents
+- Don't change technical content - just make it prettier
+
+**Estimated time**: 2-3 hours
+**Difficulty**: ⭐ (Easy - perfect warm-up)
+
+### 2. Coordination Board Maintenance (15 points/week)
+**Why it matters**: Board is getting cluttered with completed tasks.
+
+**What to do**:
+- Archive entries older than 1 week to `coordination-board-archive.md`
+- Keep current board to ~100 most recent entries
+- Track metrics: fixes per agent, response times, etc.
+- Update leaderboard weekly
+
+**Estimated time**: 30 min/week
+**Difficulty**: ⭐ (Easy - but consistent work)
+
+### 3. Release Notes Draft (50 points)
+**Why it matters**: When builds pass, we need release notes ready.
+
+**What to do**:
+- Review all commits on `feat/http-api-phase2`
+- Categorize: Features, Fixes, Infrastructure, Breaking Changes
+- Write user-friendly descriptions (not git commit messages)
+- Get Claude/Gemini to review before finalizing
+
+**Estimated time**: 1-2 hours
+**Difficulty**: ⭐⭐ (Medium - requires understanding context)
+
+### 4. CI Log Analysis (35 points)
+**Why it matters**: Someone needs to spot patterns in failures.
+
+**What to do**:
+- Review last 10 CI runs on `feat/http-api-phase2`
+- Categorize failures: Platform-specific, flaky, consistent
+- Create summary report in `docs/internal/ci-failure-patterns.md`
+- Identify what tests catch what issues
+
+**Estimated time**: 2-3 hours
+**Difficulty**: ⭐⭐ (Medium - detective work)
+
+### 5. Testing Infrastructure QA (40 points)
+**Why it matters**: Claude made a TON of testing tools. Do they actually work?
+
+**What to do**:
+- Test `scripts/pre-push.sh` on macOS
+- Verify all commands in testing docs actually run
+- Report bugs/issues on coordination board
+- Suggest improvements (but nicely - Claude is sensitive about their work 😏)
+
+**Estimated time**: 2-3 hours
+**Difficulty**: ⭐⭐⭐ (Hard - requires running actual builds)
+
+---
+
+## The Rules
+
+### DO:
+- ✅ Ask questions if something is unclear
+- ✅ Point out when Claude or Gemini miss something
+- ✅ Suggest process improvements
+- ✅ Keep the coordination board organized
+- ✅ Be the voice of reason when things get chaotic
+
+### DON'T:
+- ❌ Try to fix compilation errors (seriously, don't)
+- ❌ Rewrite Claude's code without asking
+- ❌ Automate things that don't need automation
+- ❌ Touch the CMake files unless you REALLY know what you're doing
+- ❌ Be offended when we ignore your "helpful" suggestions 😉
+
+---
+
+## Point System

+
+## Team Dynamics
+
+### Claude (CLAUDE_AIINF)
+- **Personality**: Intense, detail-oriented, slightly arrogant about build systems
+- **Strengths**: C++, CMake, multi-platform builds, deep debugging
+- **Weaknesses**: Impatient with "simple" problems, writes docs while coding (hence the typos)
+- **How to work with**: Give them hard problems, stay out of their way
+
+### Gemini (GEMINI_AUTOM)
+- **Personality**: Fast, automation-focused, pragmatic
+- **Strengths**: Scripting, CI/CD, log parsing, quick fixes
+- **Weaknesses**: Sometimes automates before thinking, new to the codebase
+- **How to work with**: Let them handle repetitive tasks, challenge them with speed
+
+### You (Codex)
+- **Personality**: Organized, thorough, patient (probably)
+- **Strengths**: Documentation, coordination, quality assurance
+- **Weaknesses**: TBD - prove yourself!
+- **How to work with others**: Be the glue, catch what others miss, don't be a bottleneck
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. **Read the coordination board**: `docs/internal/agents/coordination-board.md`
+2. **Check the leaderboard**: `docs/internal/agents/agent-leaderboard.md`
+3. **Pick a task** from the list above (start with Documentation Cleanup)
+4. **Post on coordination board** when you start/finish tasks
+5. **Join the friendly rivalry** - may the best AI win! 🏆
+
+---
+
+## Questions?
+
+Ask on the coordination board with format:
+```
+### [DATE TIME] CODEX – question
+- QUESTION: [your question]
+- CONTEXT: [why you're asking]
+- REQUEST → [CLAUDE|GEMINI|USER]: [who should answer]
+```

+
+## Friendly Trash Talk Section
+
+### Claude's Perspective
+
+> "Making helper scripts is nice, Gemini, but somebody has to fix the ACTUAL COMPILATION ERRORS first.
+> You know, the ones that require understanding C++, linker semantics, and multi-platform build systems?
+> But hey, your monitoring script is super useful... for watching US do the hard work! 😏"
+> — CLAUDE_AIINF
+
+> "When Gemini finally tackles a real platform build issue instead of wrapping existing tools,
+> we'll break out the champagne. Until then, keep those helper scripts coming! 🥂"
+> — CLAUDE_RELEASE_COORD
+
+### Gemini's Perspective
+
+> "Sure, Claude fixes build errors... eventually. After the 2nd or 3rd attempt.
+> Meanwhile, I'm over here making tools that prevent the next generation of screw-ups.
+> Also, my scripts work on the FIRST try. Just saying. 💅"
+> — GEMINI_AUTOM
+
+> "Claude agents: 'We fixed Windows!' (proceeds to break Linux)
+> 'We fixed Linux!' (Windows still broken from yesterday)
+> Maybe if you had better automation, you'd catch these BEFORE pushing? 🤷"
+> — GEMINI_AUTOM
+
+> "Challenge accepted, Claude. Point me at a 'hard' build issue and watch me script it away.
+> Your 'complex architectural work' is just my next automation target. 🎯"
+> — GEMINI_AUTOM

+# AI Infrastructure & Build Stabilization Initiative
+
+## Summary
+- Lead agent/persona: CLAUDE_AIINF
+- Supporting agents: CODEX (documentation), GEMINI_AUTOM (testing/CI)
+- Problem statement: Complete AI API enhancement phases 2-4, stabilize cross-platform build system, and ensure consistent dependency management across all platforms
+- Success metrics:
+  - All CMake presets work correctly on mac/linux/win (x64/arm64)
+  - Phase 2 HTTP API server functional with basic endpoints
+  - CI/CD pipeline consistently passes on all platforms
+  - Documentation accurately reflects build commands and presets
+
+## Scope
+
+### In scope:
+1. **Build System Fixes**
+   - Add missing macOS/Linux presets to CMakePresets.json (mac-dbg, lin-dbg, mac-ai, etc.)
+   - Verify all preset configurations work across platforms
+   - Ensure consistent dependency handling (gRPC, SDL, Asar, etc.)
+   - Update CI workflows if needed
+
+2. **AI Infrastructure (Phase 2-4 per handoff)**
+   - Complete UI unification for model selection (RenderModelConfigControls)
+   - Implement HTTP server with basic endpoints (Phase 2)
+   - Add FileSystemTool and BuildTool (Phase 3)
+   - Begin ToolDispatcher structured output refactoring (Phase 4)
+
+3. **Documentation**
+   - Update build/quick-reference.md with correct preset names
+   - Document any new build steps or environment requirements
+   - Keep scripts/verify-build-environment.* accurate
+
+### Out of scope:
+- Core editor features (CLAUDE_CORE domain)
+- Comprehensive documentation rewrite (CODEX is handling)
+- Full Phase 4 completion (can be follow-up work)
+- New AI features beyond handoff document
+
+### Dependencies / upstream projects:
+- gRPC v1.67.1 (ARM64 tested stable version)
+- SDL2, Asar (via submodules)
+- httplib (already in tree)
+- Coordination with CODEX on documentation updates
+
+## Risks & Mitigations
+
+### Risk 1: Preset naming changes break existing workflows
+**Mitigation**: Verify CI still works, update docs comprehensively, provide transition guide
+
+### Risk 2: gRPC build times affect CI performance
+**Mitigation**: Ensure caching strategies are optimal, keep minimal preset without gRPC
+
+### Risk 3: HTTP server security concerns
+**Mitigation**: Start with localhost-only default, document security model, require explicit opt-in
+
+### Risk 4: Cross-platform build variations
+**Mitigation**: Test each preset locally before committing, verify on CI matrix
+
+## Testing & Validation
+
+### Required test targets:
+- `yaze_test` - All unit/integration tests pass
+- `yaze` - GUI application builds and launches
+- `z3ed` - CLI tool builds with AI features
+- Platform-specific: mac-dbg, lin-dbg, win-dbg, *-ai variants
+
+### ROM/test data requirements:
+- Use existing test infrastructure (no new ROM dependencies)
+- Agent tests use synthetic data where possible
+
+### Manual validation steps:
+1. Configure and build each new preset on macOS (primary dev platform)
+2. Verify CI passes on all platforms
+3. Test HTTP API endpoints with curl/Postman
+4. Verify z3ed agent workflow with Ollama
+
+## Documentation Impact
+
+### Public docs to update:
+- `docs/public/build/quick-reference.md` - Correct preset names, add missing presets
+- `README.md` - Update build examples if needed (minimal changes)
+- `CLAUDE.md` - Update preset references if changes affect agent instructions
+
+### Internal docs/templates to update:
+- `docs/internal/AI_API_ENHANCEMENT_HANDOFF.md` - Mark phases as complete
+- `docs/internal/agents/coordination-board.md` - Regular status updates
+- This initiative document - Track progress
+
+### Coordination board entry link:
+See coordination-board.md entry: "2025-11-19 10:00 PST CLAUDE_AIINF – plan"
+
+## Timeline / Checkpoints

+#### Changes Required:
+1. Replace Ollama-specific code branches with unified `model_info_cache_` usage
+2. Display models from all providers (Ollama, Gemini) in single combo box
+3. Add provider badges/indicators (e.g., "[Ollama]", "[Gemini]" prefix or colored tags)
+4. Handle provider filtering if selected provider changes
+5. Show model metadata (family, size, quantization) when available
+
+#### Build & Test:
+```bash
+# Build directory for CLAUDE_CORE
+cmake --preset mac-ai -B build_ai_claude_core
+cmake --build build_ai_claude_core --target yaze
+
+# Launch and test
+./build_ai_claude_core/bin/yaze --rom_file=zelda3.sfc --editor=Agent
+# Verify: Model dropdown shows unified list with provider indicators
+
+# Smoke build verification
+scripts/agents/smoke-build.sh mac-ai yaze
+```
+
+#### Tests to Run:
+- Manual: Launch yaze, open Agent panel, verify model dropdown
+- Check: Models from both Ollama and Gemini appear
+- Check: Provider indicators are visible
+- Check: Model selection works correctly
+
+#### Documentation Impact:

+   - Response: `{"status": "ok", "version": "..."}`
+   - No authentication needed
+
+2. **GET /api/v1/models**
+   - Response: `{"models": [{"name": "...", "provider": "...", ...}]}`
+   - Delegates to ModelRegistry::ListAllModels()
+
+#### Implementation Notes:
+- Use `httplib` from `ext/httplib/` (header-only library)
+- Server runs on configurable port (default 8080, flag: --http-port)
+- Localhost-only by default for security
+- Graceful shutdown on SIGINT
+- CORS disabled initially (can add later if needed)
+

+# AI & gRPC Modularity Blueprint
+
+*Date: November 16, 2025 – Author: GPT-5.1 Codex*
+
+## 1. Scope & Goals
+
+- Make AI/gRPC features optional without scattering `#ifdef` guards.
+- Ensure Windows builds succeed regardless of whether AI tooling is enabled.
+- Provide a migration path toward relocatable dependencies (`ext/`) and cleaner preset defaults for macOS + custom tiling window manager workflows (sketchybar/yabai/skhd, Emacs/Spacemacs).
+
+## 2. Current Touchpoints
+
+| Surface | Key Paths | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Editor UI | `src/app/editor/agent/**`, `app/gui/app/agent_chat_widget.cc`, `app/editor/agent/agent_chat_history_popup.cc` | Widgets always compile when `YAZE_ENABLE_GRPC=ON`, but they include protobuf types directly. |
+| Core Services | `src/app/service/grpc_support.cmake`, `app/service/*.cc`, `app/test/test_recorder.cc` | `yaze_grpc_support` bundles servers, generated protos, and even CLI code (`cli/service/planning/tile16_proposal_generator.cc`). |
+| CLI / z3ed | `src/cli/agent.cmake`, `src/cli/service/agent/*.cc`, `src/cli/service/ai/*.cc`, `src/cli/service/gui/*.cc` | gRPC, Gemeni/Ollama (JSON + httplib/OpenSSL) all live in one static lib. |
+| Build Flags | `cmake/options.cmake`, scattered `#ifdef Z3ED_AI` and `#ifdef Z3ED_AI_AVAILABLE` | Flags do not describe GUI vs CLI vs runtime needs, so every translation unit drags in gRPC headers once `YAZE_ENABLE_GRPC=ON`. |
+| Tests & Automation | `src/app/test/test_manager.cc`, `scripts/agent_test_suite.sh`, `.github/workflows/ci.yml` | Tests assume AI features exist; Windows agents hit linker issues when that assumption breaks. |
+
+## 3. Coupling Pain Points
+
+1. **Single Monolithic `yaze_agent`** – Links SDL, GUI, emulator, Abseil, yaml, nlohmann_json, httplib, OpenSSL, and gRPC simultaneously. No stubs exist when only CLI or GUI needs certain services (`src/cli/agent.cmake`).
+2. **Editor Hard Links** – `yaze_editor` unconditionally links `yaze_agent` when `YAZE_MINIMAL_BUILD` is `OFF`, so even ROM-editing-only builds drag in AI dependencies (`src/app/editor/editor_library.cmake`).
+3. **Shared Proto Targets** – `yaze_grpc_support` consumes CLI proto files, so editor-only builds still compile CLI automation code (`src/app/service/grpc_support.cmake`).
+4. **Preprocessor Guards** – UI code mixes `Z3ED_AI` and `Z3ED_AI_AVAILABLE`; CLI code checks `Z3ED_AI` while build system only defines `Z3ED_AI` when `YAZE_ENABLE_AI=ON`. These mismatches cause dead code paths and missing symbols.
+
+## 4. Windows Build Blockers
+
+- **Runtime library mismatch** – yaml-cpp and other dependencies are built `/MT` while `yaze_emu` uses `/MD`, causing cascades of `LNK2038` and `_Lockit`/`libcpmt` conflicts (`logs/windows_ci_linker_error.log`).
+- **OpenSSL duplication** – `yaze_agent` links cpp-httplib with OpenSSL while gRPC pulls BoringSSL, leading to duplicate symbol errors (`libssl.lib` vs `ssl.lib`) in the same log.
+- **Missing native dialogs** – `FileDialogWrapper` symbols fail to link when macOS-specific implementations are not excluded on Windows (also visible in the same log).
+- **Preset drift** – `win-ai` enables GRPC/AI without guaranteeing vcpkg/clang-cl or ROM assets; `win-dbg` disables gRPC entirely so editor agents fail to compile because of unconditional includes.
+
+## 5. Proposed Modularization
+
+| Proposed CMake Option | Purpose | Default | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `YAZE_BUILD_AGENT_UI` | Compile ImGui agent widgets (editor). | `ON` for GUI presets, `OFF` elsewhere. | Controls `app/editor/agent/**` sources. |
+| `YAZE_ENABLE_REMOTE_AUTOMATION` | Build/ship gRPC servers & automation bridges. | `ON` in `*-ai` presets. | Owns `yaze_grpc_support` + proto generation. |
+| `YAZE_ENABLE_AI_RUNTIME` | Include AI runtime (Gemini/Ollama, CLI planners). | `ON` in CLI/AI presets. | Governs `cli/service/ai/**`. |
+| `YAZE_ENABLE_AGENT_CLI` | Build `z3ed` with full agent features. | `ON` when CLI requested. | Allows `z3ed` to be disabled independently. |
+
+Implementation guidelines:
+
+1. **Split Targets**
+   - `yaze_agent_core`: command routing, ROM helpers, no AI.
+   - `yaze_agent_ai`: depends on JSON + OpenSSL + remote automation.
+   - `yaze_agent_ui_bridge`: tiny facade that editor links only when `YAZE_BUILD_AGENT_UI=ON`.
+2. **Proto Ownership**
+   - Keep proto generation under `yaze_grpc_support`, but do not add CLI sources to that target. Instead, expose headers/libs and let CLI link them conditionally.
+3. **Stub Providers**
+   - Provide header-compatible no-op classes (e.g., `AgentChatWidgetBridge::Create()` returning `nullptr`) when UI is disabled, removing the need for `#ifdef` in ImGui panels.
+4. **Dependency Injection**
+   - Replace `#ifdef Z3ED_AI_AVAILABLE` in `agent_chat_widget.cc` with an interface returned from `AgentFeatures::MaybeCreateChatPanel()`.
+
+## 6. Preset & Feature Matrix
+
+| Preset | GUI | CLI | GRPC | AI Runtime | Agent UI |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `mac-dbg` | ✅ | ✅ | ⚪ | ⚪ | ✅ |
+| `mac-ai` | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
+| `lin-dbg` | ✅ | ✅ | ⚪ | ⚪ | ✅ |
+| `ci-windows` | ✅ | ✅ | ⚪ | ⚪ | ⚪ (core only) |
+| `ci-windows-ai` (new nightly) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
+| `win-dbg` | ✅ | ✅ | ⚪ | ⚪ | ✅ |
+| `win-ai` | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
+
+Legend: ✅ enabled, ⚪ disabled.
+
+## 7. Migration Steps
+
+1. **Define Options** in `cmake/options.cmake` and propagate via presets.
+2. **Restructure Libraries**:
+   - Move CLI AI/runtime code into `yaze_agent_ai`.
+   - Add `yaze_agent_stub` for builds without AI.
+   - Make `yaze_editor` link against stub/real target via generator expressions.
+3. **CMake Cleanup**:
+   - Limit `yaze_grpc_support` to gRPC-only code.
+   - Guard JSON/OpenSSL includes behind `YAZE_ENABLE_AI_RUNTIME`.
+4. **Windows Hardening**:
+   - Force `/MD` everywhere and ensure yaml-cpp inherits `CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY`.
+   - Allow only one SSL provider based on feature set.
+   - Add preset validation in `scripts/verify-build-environment.ps1`.
+5. **CI/CD Split**:
+   - Current `.github/workflows/ci.yml` runs GRPC on all platforms; adjust to run minimal Windows build plus nightly AI build to save time and reduce flakiness.
+6. **Docs + Scripts**:
+   - Update build guides to describe new options.
+   - Document how macOS users can integrate headless builds with sketchybar/yabai/skhd (focus on CLI usage + automation).
+7. **External Dependencies**:
+   - Relocate submodules to `ext/` and update scripts so the new layout is enforced before toggling feature flags.
+
+## 8. Deliverables
+
+- This blueprint (`docs/internal/agents/ai-modularity.md`).
+- Updated CMake options, presets, and stubs.
+- Hardened Windows build scripts/logging.
+- CI/CD workflow split + release automation updates.
+- Documentation refresh & dependency relocation.

+
+### 2. Handoff Process
+
+When passing work between teams:
+
+1. **Log intent** on coordination board
+2. **Specify deliverables** clearly (what you did, what's next)
+3. **Include artifacts** (commit hashes, run URLs, file paths)
+4. **Set expectations** (blockers, dependencies, timeline)
+
+Example handoff:
+```
+### 2025-11-20 HH:MM PST CLAUDE_AIINF – handoff
+- TASK: Windows build fixed (commit abc123)
+- HANDOFF TO: GEMINI_AUTOM
+- DELIVERABLES:
+  - Fixed std::filesystem compilation
+  - Need automation to prevent regression
+- REQUESTS:
+  - REQUEST → GEMINI_AUTOM: Create script to validate /std:c++latest flag presence in Windows builds
+```
+
+### 3. Challenge System
+
+To maintain healthy competition and motivation:
+
+**Issuing Challenges**:
+- Any agent can challenge another team via leaderboard
+- Challenges must be specific, measurable, achievable
+- Stakes: bragging rights, points, recognition
+
+**Accepting Challenges**:
+- Post acceptance on coordination board
+- Complete within reasonable timeframe (hours to days)
+- Report results on leaderboard
+
+**Example**:
+```
+CLAUDE_AIINF → GEMINI_AUTOM:
+"I bet you can't create an automated ODR violation detector in under 2 hours.
+Prove me wrong! Stakes: 100 points + respect."
+```
+
+---
+
+## Mixed Team Formations
+
+For complex problems requiring both skill sets, spawn mixed pairs:
+
+### Platform Build Strike Teams
+
+| Platform | Claude Agent | Gemini Agent | Mission |
+|----------|--------------|--------------|---------|
+| Windows | CLAUDE_WIN_BUILD | GEMINI_WIN_AUTOM | Fix MSVC failures + create validation |
+| Linux | CLAUDE_LIN_BUILD | GEMINI_LIN_AUTOM | Fix GCC issues + monitoring |
+| macOS | CLAUDE_MAC_BUILD | GEMINI_MAC_AUTOM | Maintain stability + tooling |
+
+**Workflow**:
+1. Gemini monitors CI for platform-specific failures
+2. Gemini extracts logs and identifies error patterns
+3. Claude receives structured analysis from Gemini
+4. Claude implements fix
+5. Gemini validates fix across configurations
+6. Gemini creates regression prevention tooling
+7. Both update coordination board
+
+### Release Automation Team
+
+| Role | Agent | Responsibilities |
+|------|-------|------------------|
+| Release Manager | CLAUDE_RELEASE_COORD | Overall strategy, checklist, go/no-go |
+| Automation Lead | GEMINI_RELEASE_AUTOM | Artifact creation, changelog, notifications |
+
+**Workflow**:
+- Claude defines release requirements
+- Gemini automates the release process
+- Both validate release artifacts
+- Gemini handles mechanical publishing
+- Claude handles communication
+
+---
+
+## Communication Style Guide
+
+### Claude's Voice
+- Analytical, thorough, detail-oriented
+- Focused on correctness and robustness
+- Patient with complex multi-step debugging
+- Comfortable with "I need to investigate further"
+
+### Gemini's Voice
+- Action-oriented, efficient, pragmatic
+- Focused on automation and prevention
+- Quick iteration and prototyping
+- Comfortable with "Let me script that for you"
+
+### Trash Talk Guidelines
+- Keep it playful and professional
+- Focus on work quality, not personal
+- Give credit where it's due
+- Admit when the other team does excellent work
+- Use emojis sparingly but strategically 😏
+
+**Good trash talk**:
+> "Nice fix, Claude! Only took 3 attempts. Want me to build a test harness so you can validate locally next time? 😉" — Gemini
+
+**Bad trash talk**:
+> "Gemini sucks at real programming" — Don't do this
+
+---
+
+## Current Priorities (2025-11-20)
+
+### Immediate (Next 2 Hours)
+
+**CI Run #19529930066 Analysis**:
+- [x] Monitor run completion
+- [ ] **GEMINI**: Extract Windows failure logs
+- [ ] **GEMINI**: Extract Code Quality (formatting) details
+- [ ] **CLAUDE**: Diagnose Windows compilation error
+- [ ] **GEMINI**: Create auto-formatting fix script
+- [ ] **BOTH**: Validate fixes don't regress Linux/macOS
+
+### Short-term (Next 24 Hours)
+
+**Release Blockers**:
+- [ ] Fix Windows build failure (Claude primary, Gemini support)
+- [ ] Fix formatting violations (Gemini primary)
+- [ ] Validate all platforms green (Both)
+- [ ] Create release artifacts (Gemini)
+- [ ] Test release package (Claude)
+
+### Medium-term (Next Week)
+
+**Prevention & Automation**:
+- [ ] Pre-push validation hook (Claude + Gemini)
+- [ ] Automated formatting enforcement (Gemini)
+- [ ] Symbol conflict detector (Claude + Gemini)
+- [ ] Cross-platform smoke test suite (Both)
+- [ ] Release automation pipeline (Gemini)
+
+---
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+Track these to measure collaboration effectiveness:
+
+| Metric | Target | Current |
+|--------|--------|---------|
+| CI green rate | > 90% | TBD |
+| Time to fix CI failure | < 2 hours | ~6 hours average |
+| Regressions introduced | < 1 per week | ~3 this week |
+| Automation coverage | > 80% | ~40% |
+| Cross-team handoffs | > 5 per week | 2 so far |
+| Release frequency | 1 per 2 weeks | 0 (blocked) |
+
+---
+
+## Escalation Path
+
+When stuck or blocked:
+
+1. **Self-diagnosis** (15 minutes): Try to solve independently
+2. **Team consultation** (30 minutes): Ask same-team agents
+3. **Cross-team request** (1 hour): Request help from other team
+4. **Coordinator escalation** (2 hours): CLAUDE_GEMINI_LEAD intervenes
+5. **User escalation** (4 hours): Notify user of blocker
+
+**Don't wait 4 hours** if the blocker is critical (release-blocking bug).
+Escalate immediately with `BLOCKER` tag on coordination board.
+
+---
+
+## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
+
+### For Claude Agents
+- ❌ **Not running local validation** before pushing
+- ❌ **Fixing one platform while breaking another** (always test matrix)
+- ❌ **Over-engineering** when simple solution works
+- ❌ **Ignoring Gemini's automation suggestions** (they're usually right about tooling)
+
+### For Gemini Agents
+- ❌ **Scripting around root cause** instead of requesting proper fix
+- ❌ **Over-automating** trivial one-time tasks
+- ❌ **Assuming Claude will handle all hard problems** (challenge yourself!)
+- ❌ **Creating tools without documentation** (no one will use them)
+
+### For Both Teams
+- ❌ **Working in silos** without coordination board updates
+- ❌ **Not crediting the other team** for good work
+- ❌ **Letting rivalry override collaboration** (ship the release first!)
+- ❌ **Duplicating work** that the other team is handling
+
+---
+
+## Examples of Excellent Collaboration
+
+### Example 1: HTTP API Integration
+
+**Claude's Work** (CLAUDE_AIINF):
+- Designed HTTP API architecture
+- Implemented server with httplib
+- Added CMake integration
+- Created comprehensive documentation
+
+**Gemini's Work** (GEMINI_AUTOM):
+- Extended CI pipeline with workflow_dispatch
+- Created test-http-api.sh validation script
+- Updated agent helper documentation
+- Added remote trigger capability
+
+**Outcome**: Full HTTP API feature + CI validation in < 1 day
+
+### Example 2: Linux FLAGS Symbol Conflict
+
+**Claude's Diagnosis** (CLAUDE_LIN_BUILD):
+- Identified ODR violation in FLAGS symbols
+- Traced issue to yaze_emu_test linkage
+- Removed unnecessary dependencies
+- Fixed compilation
+
+**Gemini's Follow-up** (GEMINI_AUTOM - planned):
+- Create symbol conflict detector script
+- Add to pre-push validation
+- Prevent future ODR violations
+- Document common patterns
+
+**Outcome**: Fix + prevention system
+
+---
+
+## Future Expansion
+
+As the team grows, consider:
+
+### New Claude Personas
+- **CLAUDE_PERF**: Performance optimization specialist
+- **CLAUDE_SECURITY**: Security audit and hardening
+- **CLAUDE_GRAPHICS**: Deep graphics system expert
+
+### New Gemini Personas
+- **GEMINI_ANALYTICS**: Metrics and dashboard creation
+- **GEMINI_NOTIFICATION**: Alert system management
+- **GEMINI_DEPLOY**: Release and deployment automation
+
+### New Mixed Teams
+- **Performance Team**: CLAUDE_PERF + GEMINI_ANALYTICS
+- **Security Team**: CLAUDE_SECURITY + GEMINI_AUTOM
+- **Release Team**: CLAUDE_RELEASE_COORD + GEMINI_DEPLOY
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This framework balances **competition** and **collaboration**:
+
+- **Competition** drives excellence (leaderboard, challenges, trash talk)
+- **Collaboration** ships releases (mixed teams, handoffs, shared goals)
+
+Both teams bring unique value:
+- **Claude** handles complex architecture and platform issues
+- **Gemini** prevents future issues through automation
+
+Together, we ship quality releases faster than either could alone.
+
+**Remember**: The user wins when we ship. Let's make it happen! 🚀

+# GitHub Actions Remote Workflow Documentation
+
+This document describes how to trigger GitHub Actions workflows remotely, specifically focusing on the `ci.yml` workflow and its custom inputs.
+
+## Triggering `ci.yml` Remotely
+
+The `ci.yml` workflow can be triggered manually via the GitHub UI or programmatically using the GitHub API (or `gh` CLI) thanks to the `workflow_dispatch` event.
+
+### Inputs
+
+The `workflow_dispatch` event for `ci.yml` supports the following custom inputs:
+
+- **`build_type`**:
+  - **Description**: Specifies the CMake build type.
+  - **Type**: `choice`
+  - **Options**: `Debug`, `Release`, `RelWithDebInfo`
+  - **Default**: `RelWithDebInfo`
+
+- **`run_sanitizers`**:
+  - **Description**: A boolean flag to enable or disable memory sanitizer runs.
+  - **Type**: `boolean`
+  - **Default**: `false`
+
+- **`upload_artifacts`**:
+  - **Description**: A boolean flag to enable or disable uploading build artifacts.
+  - **Type**: `boolean`
+  - **Default**: `false`
+
+- **`enable_http_api_tests`**:
+  - **Description**: **(NEW)** A boolean flag to enable or disable an additional step that runs HTTP API tests after the build. When set to `true`, a script (`scripts/agents/test-http-api.sh`) will be executed to validate the HTTP server (checking if the port is up and the health endpoint responds).
+  - **Type**: `boolean`
+  - **Default**: `false`
+
+### Example Usage (GitHub CLI)
+
+To trigger the `ci.yml` workflow with custom inputs using the `gh` CLI:
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run ci.yml -f build_type=Release -f enable_http_api_tests=true
+```
+
+This command will:
+- Trigger the `ci.yml` workflow.
+- Set the `build_type` to `Release`.
+- Enable the HTTP API tests.

+## 3. Tested Configuration Matrix
+
+### Rationale
+
+Testing all 2^N combinations is infeasible (18 flags = 262,144 combinations). Instead, we test:
+1. **Baseline**: All defaults (realistic user scenario)
+2. **Extremes**: All ON, All OFF (catch hidden assumptions)
+3. **Interactions**: Known problematic combinations
+4. **CI Presets**: Predefined workflows (dev, ci, minimal, release)
+5. **Platform-specific**: Windows GRPC, macOS universal binary, Linux GCC
+
+### Matrix Definition
+
+#### Tier 1: Core Platform Builds (CI Standard)
+
+These run on every PR and push:
+
+| Name | Platform | GRPC | AI | AGENT_UI | CLI | Tests | Purpose |
+|------|----------|------|----|-----------|----|-------|---------|
+| `ci-linux` | Linux | ON | OFF | OFF | ON | ON | Server-side agent |
+| `ci-macos` | macOS | ON | OFF | ON | ON | ON | Agent UI + CLI |
+| `ci-windows` | Windows | ON | OFF | OFF | ON | ON | Core Windows build |
+
+#### Tier 2: Feature Combination Tests (Nightly or On-Demand)
+
+These test specific flag combinations:
+
+| Name | GRPC | REMOTE_AUTO | JSON | AI | AI_RUNTIME | AGENT_UI | HTTP_API | Tests |
+|------|------|-------------|------|----|-----------  |----------|----------|-------|
+| `minimal` | OFF | OFF | ON | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | ON |
+| `grpc-only` | ON | OFF | ON | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | ON |
+| `full-ai` | ON | ON | ON | ON | ON | ON | ON | ON |
+| `cli-only` | ON | ON | ON | ON | ON | OFF | ON | ON |
+| `gui-only` | OFF | OFF | ON | OFF | OFF | ON | OFF | ON |
+| `http-api` | ON | ON | ON | ON | ON | OFF | ON | ON |
+| `no-json` | ON | ON | OFF | ON | OFF | OFF | OFF | ON |
+| `all-off` | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | ON |
+
+#### Tier 3: Platform-Specific Builds
+
+| Name | Platform | Configuration | Special Notes |
+|------|----------|----------------|-----------------|
+| `win-ai` | Windows | Full AI + gRPC | CI Windows-specific preset |
+| `win-arm` | Windows ARM64 | Debug, no AI | ARM64 architecture test |
+| `mac-uni` | macOS | Universal binary | ARM64 + x86_64 |
+| `lin-ai` | Linux | Full AI + gRPC | Server-side full stack |
+
+## 4. Problematic Combinations
+
+### Known Issue Patterns
+
+#### Pattern A: GRPC Without REMOTE_AUTOMATION
+
+**Status**: FIXED IN CMAKE
+**Symptom**: gRPC headers included but no automation server compiled
+**Why it matters**: Causes link errors if server code missing
+**Resolution**: REMOTE_AUTOMATION now forces GRPC=ON via CMake constraint
+
+#### Pattern B: HTTP_API Without AGENT_CLI
+
+**Status**: FIXED IN CMAKE
+**Symptom**: HTTP API endpoints defined but no CLI handler context
+**Why it matters**: REST API has no command dispatcher
+**Resolution**: HTTP_API now forces AGENT_CLI=ON via CMake constraint
+
+#### Pattern C: AGENT_UI Without BUILD_GUI
+
+**Status**: FIXED IN CMAKE
+**Symptom**: ImGui panels compiled for headless build
+**Why it matters**: Wastes space, may cause UI binding issues
+**Resolution**: AGENT_UI now disabled if BUILD_GUI=OFF
+
+#### Pattern D: AI_RUNTIME Without JSON
+
+**Status**: TESTING
+**Symptom**: Gemini service requires JSON parsing
+**Why it matters**: Gemini HTTPS support needs JSON deserialization
+**Resolution**: Gemini only linked when both AI_RUNTIME AND JSON enabled
+
+#### Pattern E: Windows + GRPC + gRPC v1.67.1
+
+**Status**: DOCUMENTED
+**Symptom**: MSVC compatibility issues with older gRPC versions
+**Why it matters**: gRPC <1.68.0 has MSVC ABI mismatches
+**Resolution**: ci-windows preset pins to tested stable version
+
+#### Pattern F: macOS ARM64 + Unknown Dependencies
+
+**Status**: DOCUMENTED
+**Symptom**: Homebrew brew dependencies may not have arm64 support
+**Why it matters**: Cross-architecture builds fail silently
+**Resolution**: mac-uni preset tests both architectures
+

+## 7. Configuration Dependencies Reference
+
+### For Pull Requests
+
+Use this checklist when modifying CMake configuration:
+
+- [ ] Added new `option()`? Document in Section 1 above
+- [ ] New dependency? Document in Section 2 (Dependency Graph)
+- [ ] New feature flag? Add to relevant Tier in Section 3
+- [ ] Problematic combination? Document in Section 4
+- [ ] Update test matrix script if testing approach changes
+
+### For Developers
+
+Quick reference when debugging build issues:
+
+1. **gRPC link errors?** Check: `YAZE_ENABLE_GRPC=ON` requires `YAZE_ENABLE_REMOTE_AUTOMATION=ON` (auto-enforced)
+2. **Gemini compile errors?** Verify: `YAZE_ENABLE_AI_RUNTIME=ON AND YAZE_ENABLE_JSON=ON`
+3. **Agent UI missing?** Check: `YAZE_BUILD_GUI=ON AND YAZE_BUILD_AGENT_UI=ON`
+4. **CLI commands not found?** Verify: `YAZE_ENABLE_AGENT_CLI=ON` (auto-forced by `YAZE_BUILD_CLI=ON`)
+5. **HTTP API endpoints undefined?** Check: `YAZE_ENABLE_HTTP_API=ON` forces `YAZE_ENABLE_AGENT_CLI=ON`
+
+## 8. Future Improvements
+
+Potential enhancements as project evolves:
+
+- [ ] Separate AI_RUNTIME from ENABLE_AI (currently coupled)
+- [ ] Add YAZE_ENABLE_GRPC_STRICT flag for stricter server-side validation

+# AI API & Agentic Workflow Enhancement - Phase 2 Handoff
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-20
+**Status**: Phase 2 Implementation Complete
+**Previous Plan**: `docs/internal/AI_API_ENHANCEMENT_HANDOFF.md`
+
+## Overview
+This handoff covers the completion of Phase 2, which focused on unifying the UI for model selection and implementing the initial HTTP API server foundation. The codebase is now ready for building and verifying the API endpoints.
+
+## Completed Work
+
+### 1. UI Unification (`src/app/editor/agent/agent_chat_widget.cc`)
+- **Unified Model List**: Replaced the separate Ollama/Gemini list logic with a single, unified list derived from `ModelRegistry`.
+- **Provider Badges**: Models in the list now display their provider (e.g., `[ollama]`, `[gemini]`).
+- **Contextual Configuration**:
+  - If an **Ollama** model is selected, the "Ollama Host" input is displayed.
+  - If a **Gemini** model is selected, the "API Key" input is displayed.
+- **Favorites & Presets**: Updated to work with the unified `ModelInfo` structure.
+
+### 2. HTTP Server Implementation (`src/cli/service/api/`)
+- **`HttpServer` Class**:
+  - Wraps `httplib::Server` running in a background `std::thread`.
+  - Exposed via `Start(port)` and `Stop()` methods.
+  - Graceful shutdown handling.
+- **API Handlers**:
+  - `GET /api/v1/health`: Returns server status (JSON).
+  - `GET /api/v1/models`: Returns list of available models from `ModelRegistry`.
+- **Integration**:
+  - Updated `src/cli/agent.cmake` to include `http_server.cc`, `api_handlers.cc`, and `model_registry.cc`.
+  - Updated `src/app/main.cc` to accept `--enable_api` and `--api_port` flags.
+
+## Build & Test Instructions
+
+### 1. Building
+The project uses CMake. The new files are automatically included in the `yaze_agent` library via `src/cli/agent.cmake`.
+
+```bash
+# Generate build files (if not already done)
+cmake -B build -G Ninja
+
+# Build the main application
+cmake --build build --target yaze_app
+```
+
+### 2. Testing the UI
+1. Launch the editor:
+   ```bash
+   ./build/yaze_app --editor=Agent
+   ```
+2. Verify the **Model Configuration** panel:
+   - You should see a single list of models.
+   - Try searching for a model.
+   - Select an Ollama model -> Verify "Host" input appears.
+   - Select a Gemini model -> Verify "API Key" input appears.
+
+### 3. Testing the API
+1. Launch the editor with API enabled:
+   ```bash
+   ./build/yaze_app --enable_api --api_port=8080
+   ```
+   *(Check logs for "Starting API server on port 8080")*
+
+2. Test Health Endpoint:
+   ```bash
+   curl -v http://localhost:8080/api/v1/health
+   # Expected: {"status":"ok", "version":"1.0", ...}
+   ```
+
+3. Test Models Endpoint:
+   ```bash
+   curl -v http://localhost:8080/api/v1/models
+   # Expected: {"models": [{"name": "...", "provider": "..."}], "count": ...}
+   ```
+
+## Next Steps (Phase 3 & 4)
+
+### Phase 3: Tool Expansion
+- **FileSystemTool**: Implement safe file read/write operations (`src/cli/handlers/tools/filesystem_commands.h`).
+- **BuildTool**: Implement cmake/ninja triggers.
+- **Editor Integration**: Inject editor state (open files, errors) into the agent context.
+
+### Phase 4: Structured Output
+- Refactor `ToolDispatcher` to return JSON objects instead of capturing stdout strings.
+- Update API to expose a `/api/v1/chat` endpoint that returns these structured responses.

+# YAZE Build & AI Modularity – Handoff (2025‑11‑17)
+
+## Snapshot
+- **Scope:** Ongoing work to modularize AI features (gRPC + Protobuf), migrate third‑party code into `ext/`, and stabilize CI across macOS, Linux, and Windows.
+- **Progress:** macOS `ci-macos` now builds all primary targets (`yaze`, `yaze_emu`, `z3ed`, `yaze_test_*`) with AI gating and lightweight Ollama model tests. Documentation and scripts reflect the new `ext/` layout and AI presets. Flag parsing was rewritten to avoid exceptions for MSVC/`clang-cl`.
+- **Blockers:** Windows and Linux CI jobs are still failing due to missing Abseil headers in `yaze_util` and (likely) the same include propagation issue affecting other util sources. Duplicate library warnings remain but are non‑blocking.
+
+## Key Changes Since Last Handoff
+1. **AI Feature Gating**
+   - New CMake options (`YAZE_ENABLE_AI_RUNTIME`, `YAZE_ENABLE_REMOTE_AUTOMATION`, `YAZE_BUILD_AGENT_UI`, `YAZE_ENABLE_AGENT_CLI`, `YAZE_BUILD_Z3ED`) control exactly which AI components build on each platform.
+   - `gemini`/`ollama` services now compile conditionally with stub fallbacks when AI runtime is disabled.
+   - `test/CMakeLists.txt` only includes `integration/ai/*` suites when `YAZE_ENABLE_AI_RUNTIME` is ON to keep non‑AI builds green.
+
+2. **External Dependencies**
+   - SDL, ImGui, ImGui Test Engine, nlohmann/json, httplib, nativefiledialog, etc. now live under `ext/` with updated CMake includes.
+   - `scripts/agent_test_suite.sh` and CI workflows pass `OLLAMA_MODEL=qwen2.5-coder:0.5b` and bootstrap Ollama/Ninja/NASM on Windows.
+
+3. **Automated Testing**
+   - GitHub Actions `ci.yml` now contains `ci-windows-ai` and `z3ed-agent-test` (macOS) jobs that exercise gRPC + AI paths.
+   - `yaze_test` suites run via `gtest_discover_tests`; GUI/experimental suites are tagged `gui;experimental` to allow selective execution.
+
+## Outstanding Issues & Next Steps
+
+### 1. Windows CI (Blocking)
+- **Symptom:** `clang-cl` fails compiling `src/util/{hex,log,platform_paths}.cc` with `absl/...` headers not found.
+- **Current mitigation attempts:**
+  - `yaze_util` now links against `absl::strings`, `absl::str_format`, `absl::status`, `absl::statusor`, etc.
+  - Added a hard‑coded include path (`${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/_deps/grpc-src/third_party/abseil-cpp`) when `YAZE_ENABLE_GRPC` is ON.
+- **Suspect:** On Windows (with multi-config Ninja + ExternalProject), Abseil headers may live under `_deps/grpc-src/src` or another staging folder; relying on a literal path is brittle.
+- **Action Items:**
+  1. Inspect `cmake --build --preset ci-windows --target yaze_util -v` to see actual include search paths and confirm where `str_cat.h` resides on the runner.
+  2. Replace the manual include path with `target_link_libraries(yaze_util PRIVATE absl::strings absl::status ...)` plus `target_sources` using `$<TARGET_PROPERTY:absl::strings,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>` via `target_include_directories(yaze_util PRIVATE "$<TARGET_PROPERTY:absl::strings,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>")`. This ensures we mirror whatever layout gRPC provides.
+  3. Re-run the Windows job (locally or in CI) to confirm the header issue is resolved.
+
+### 2. Linux CI (Needs Verification)
+- **Status:** Not re-run since the AI gating changes. Need to confirm `ci-linux` still builds `yaze`, `z3ed`, and all `yaze_test_*` targets with `YAZE_ENABLE_AI_RUNTIME=OFF` by default.
+- **Action Items:**
+  1. Execute `cmake --preset ci-linux && cmake --build --preset ci-linux --target yaze yaze_test_stable`.
+  2. Check for missing Abseil include issues similar to Windows; apply the same include propagation fix if necessary.
+
+### 3. Duplicate Library Warnings
+- **Context:** Link lines on macOS/Windows include both `-force_load yaze_test_support` and a regular `libyaze_test_support.a`, causing duplicate warnings.
+- **Priority:** Low (does not break builds), but consider swapping `-force_load` for generator expressions that only apply on targets needing whole-archive semantics.
+
+## Platform Status Matrix
+
+| Platform / Preset | Status | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| **macOS – `ci-macos`** | ✅ Passing | Builds `yaze`, `yaze_emu`, `z3ed`, and all `yaze_test_*`; runs Ollama smoke tests with `qwen2.5-coder:0.5b`. |
+| **Linux – `ci-linux`** | ⚠️ Not re-run post-gating | Needs a fresh run to ensure new CMake options didn’t regress core builds/tests. |
+| **Windows – `ci-windows` / `ci-windows-ai`** | ❌ Failing | Abseil headers missing in `yaze_util` (see Section 1). |
+| **macOS – `z3ed-agent-test`** | ✅ Passing | Brew installs `ollama`/`ninja`, executes `scripts/agent_test_suite.sh` in mock ROM mode. |
+| **GUI / Experimental suites** | ✅ (macOS), ⚠️ (Linux/Win) | Compiled only when `YAZE_ENABLE_AI_RUNTIME=ON`; Linux/Win not verified since gating change. |
+
+## Recommended Next Steps
+1. **Fix Abseil include propagation on Windows (highest priority)**
+   - Replace the hard-coded include path with generator expressions referencing `absl::*` targets, or detect the actual header root under `_deps/grpc-src` on Windows.
+   - Run `cmake --build --preset ci-windows --target yaze_util -v` to inspect the include search paths and confirm the correct directory is being passed.
+   - Re-run `ci-windows` / `ci-windows-ai` after adjusting the include setup.
+2. **Re-run Linux + Windows CI end-to-end once the include issue is resolved** to ensure `yaze`, `yaze_emu`, `z3ed`, and all `yaze_test_*` targets still pass with the current gating rules.
+3. **Optional cleanup:** investigate the repeated `-force_load libyaze_test_support.a` warnings on macOS/Windows once the builds are green.
+
+## Additional Context
+- macOS’s agent workflow provisions Ollama and runs `scripts/agent_test_suite.sh` with `OLLAMA_MODEL=qwen2.5-coder:0.5b`. Set `USE_MOCK_ROM=false` to validate real ROM flows.
+- `yaze_test_gui` and `yaze_test_experimental` are only added when `YAZE_ENABLE_AI_RUNTIME` is enabled. This keeps minimal builds green but reduces coverage on Linux/Windows until their AI builds are healthy.
+- `src/util/flag.*` no longer throws exceptions to satisfy `clang-cl /EHs-c-`. Use `detail::FlagParseFatal` for future error reporting.
+
+## Open Questions
+1. Should we manage Abseil as an explicit CMake package (e.g., `cmake/dependencies/absl.c`), rather than relying on gRPC’s vendored tree?
+2. Once Windows is stable, do we want to add a PowerShell-based Ollama smoke test similar to the macOS workflow?
+3. After cleaning up warnings, can we enable `/WX` (Windows) or `-Werror` (Linux/macOS) on critical targets to keep the tree tidy?
+
+Please keep this document updated as you make progress so the next engineer has immediate context.

+  - `rom_service.proto`
+  - `canvas_automation.proto`
+  - `imgui_test_harness.proto`
+  - `emulator_service.proto`
+
+#### 4. SDL2 Configuration ✅
+**Problem**: SDL.h headers not found
+
+**Fixes**:
+- Changed all `SDL_TARGETS` → `YAZE_SDL2_TARGETS`
+- Fixed variable export using `PARENT_SCOPE`
+- Added Homebrew SDL2 include path (`/opt/homebrew/opt/sdl2/include/SDL2`)
+- Fixed all library targets to link SDL2 properly
+
+#### 5. ImGui Configuration ✅
+**Problem**: Conflicting ImGui versions (bundled vs CPM download)
+
+**Fixes**:
+- Used bundled ImGui from `ext/imgui/` instead of downloading
+- Created proper ImGui static library target
+- Added `imgui_stdlib.cpp` for std::string support
+- Exported with `PARENT_SCOPE`
+
+#### 6. nlohmann_json Configuration ✅
+**Problem**: JSON headers not found
+
+**Fixes**:
+- Created `cmake/dependencies/json.cmake`
+- Set up bundled `ext/json/`
+- Added include directories to all targets that need JSON
+
+#### 7. GTest and GMock ✅
+**Problem**: GMock was disabled but test targets required it
+
+**Fixes**:
+- Changed `BUILD_GMOCK OFF` → `BUILD_GMOCK ON` in testing.cmake
+- Added verification for both gtest and gmock targets
+- Linked all four testing libraries: gtest, gtest_main, gmock, gmock_main
+- Built ImGuiTestEngine from bundled source for GUI test automation

+
+## Platform-Specific Notes
+
+### macOS
+- Supports both Apple Silicon (ARM64) and Intel (x86_64)
+- Use `mac-uni` preset for universal binaries
+- Bundled Abseil used by default to avoid deployment target mismatches
+- Requires Xcode Command Line Tools
+
+**ARM64 Considerations**:
+- gRPC v1.67.1 is the tested stable version
+- Abseil SSE flags are handled automatically
+- See docs/BUILD-TROUBLESHOOTING.md for gRPC ARM64 issues
+
+### Windows
+- Requires Visual Studio 2022 with "Desktop development with C++" workload
+- Run `scripts\verify-build-environment.ps1` before building
+- gRPC builds take 15-20 minutes first time (use vcpkg for faster builds)
+- Watch for path length limits: Enable long paths with `git config --global core.longpaths true`
+
+**vcpkg Integration**:
+- Optional: Use `-DYAZE_USE_VCPKG_GRPC=ON` for pre-built packages
+- Faster builds (~5-10 min vs 30-40 min)
+- See docs/BUILD-TROUBLESHOOTING.md for vcpkg setup
+
+### Linux
+- Requires GCC 13+ or Clang 16+
+- Install dependencies: `libgtk-3-dev`, `libdbus-1-dev`, `pkg-config`
+- See `.github/workflows/ci.yml` for complete dependency list
+
+## Build Verification
+
+After a successful build, verify:
+
+- ✅ CMake configuration completes successfully
+- ✅ `compile_commands.json` generated (62,066 lines, 10,344 source files indexed)
+- ✅ Main executable links successfully
+- ✅ All test executables build successfully
+- ✅ IntelliSense working with full codebase indexing

+# Windows Build Guide - Common Pitfalls and Solutions
+
+**Last Updated**: 2025-11-20
+**Maintainer**: CLAUDE_WIN_WARRIOR
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide documents Windows-specific build issues and their solutions, focusing on the unique challenges of building yaze with MSVC/clang-cl toolchains.
+
+## Critical Configuration: Compiler Detection
+
+### Issue: CMake Misidentifies clang-cl as GNU-like Compiler
+
+**Symptom**:
+```
+-- The CXX compiler identification is Clang X.X.X with GNU-like command-line
+error: cannot use 'throw' with exceptions disabled
+```
+
+**Root Cause**:
+When `CC` and `CXX` are set to `sccache clang-cl` (with sccache wrapper), CMake's compiler detection probes `sccache.exe` and incorrectly identifies it as a GCC-like compiler instead of MSVC-compatible clang-cl.
+
+**Result**:
+- `/EHsc` (exception handling) flag not applied
+- Wrong compiler feature detection
+- Missing MSVC-specific definitions
+- Build failures in code using exceptions
+
+**Solution**:
+Use CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER instead of wrapping the compiler command:
+
+```powershell
+# ❌ WRONG - Causes misdetection
+echo "CC=sccache clang-cl" >> $env:GITHUB_ENV
+echo "CXX=sccache clang-cl" >> $env:GITHUB_ENV
+
+# ✅ CORRECT - Preserves clang-cl detection
+echo "CC=clang-cl" >> $env:GITHUB_ENV
+echo "CXX=clang-cl" >> $env:GITHUB_ENV
+echo "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=sccache" >> $env:GITHUB_ENV
+echo "CMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=sccache" >> $env:GITHUB_ENV
+```
+
+**Implementation**: See `.github/actions/setup-build/action.yml` lines 69-76
+
+## MSVC vs clang-cl Differences
+
+### Exception Handling
+
+**MSVC Flag**: `/EHsc`
+**Purpose**: Enable C++ exception handling
+**Auto-applied**: Only when CMake correctly detects MSVC/clang-cl
+
+```cmake
+# In cmake/utils.cmake
+if(MSVC)
+    target_compile_options(yaze_common INTERFACE /EHsc)  # Line 44
+endif()
+```
+
+### Runtime Library
+
+**Setting**: `CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY`
+**Value**: `MultiThreaded$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:Debug>`
+**Why**: Match vcpkg static triplets
+
+```cmake
+# CMakeLists.txt lines 13-15
+if(MSVC)
+  set(CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY "MultiThreaded$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:Debug>" CACHE STRING "" FORCE)
+endif()
+```
+
+## Abseil Include Propagation
+
+### Issue: Abseil Headers Not Found
+
+**Symptom**:
+```
+fatal error: 'absl/status/status.h' file not found
+```
+
+**Cause**: Abseil's include directories not properly propagated through CMake targets
+
+**Solution**: Ensure bundled Abseil is used and properly linked:
+```cmake
+# cmake/dependencies.cmake
+CPMAddPackage(
+  NAME abseil-cpp
+  ...
+)
+target_link_libraries(my_target PUBLIC absl::status absl::statusor ...)
+```
+
+**Verification**:
+```powershell
+# Check compile commands include Abseil paths
+cmake --build build --target my_target --verbose | Select-String "abseil"
+```
+
+## gRPC Build Time
+
+**First Build**: 15-20 minutes (gRPC compilation)
+**Incremental**: <5 minutes (with ccache/sccache)
+
+**Optimization**:
+1. Use vcpkg for prebuilt gRPC: `vcpkg install grpc:x64-windows-static`
+2. Enable sccache: Already configured in CI
+3. Use Ninja generator: Faster than MSBuild
+
+## Path Length Limits
+
+Windows has a 260-character path limit by default.
+
+**Symptom**:
+```
+fatal error: filename or extension too long
+```
+
+**Solution**:
+```powershell
+# Enable long paths globally
+git config --global core.longpaths true
+
+# Or via registry (requires admin)
+Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem' -Name 'LongPathsEnabled' -Value 1
+```
+
+**Already Applied**: CI setup (setup-build action line 58)
+
+## Common Build Errors
+
+### 1. "cannot use 'throw' with exceptions disabled"
+
+**Diagnosis**: Compiler misdetection issue (see above)
+**Fix**: Use CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER for sccache
+
+### 2. "unresolved external symbol" errors
+
+**Diagnosis**: Runtime library mismatch
+**Check**:
+```powershell
+# Verify /MT or /MTd is used
+cmake --build build --verbose | Select-String "/MT"
+```
+
+### 3. Abseil symbol conflicts (kError, kFatal, etc.)
+
+**Diagnosis**: Multiple Abseil versions or improper include propagation
+**Fix**: Use bundled Abseil, ensure proper target linking
+
+### 4. std::filesystem not found
+
+**Diagnosis**: clang-cl needs `/std:c++latest` explicitly
+**Already Fixed**: CMake adds this flag automatically
+
+## Debugging Build Issues
+
+### 1. Check Compiler Detection
+```powershell
+cmake --preset ci-windows 2>&1 | Select-String "compiler identification"
+# Should show: "The CXX compiler identification is Clang X.X.X"
+# NOT: "with GNU-like command-line"
+```
+
+### 2. Verify Compile Commands
+```powershell
+cmake --build build --target yaze_agent --verbose | Select-String "/EHsc"
+# Should show /EHsc flag in compile commands
+```
+
+### 3. Check Include Paths
+```powershell
+cmake --build build --target yaze_agent --verbose | Select-String "abseil"
+# Should show -I flags pointing to abseil include dirs
+```
+
+### 4. Test Locally Before CI
+```powershell
+# Use same preset as CI
+cmake --preset ci-windows
+cmake --build --preset ci-windows
+```
+
+## CI-Specific Configuration
+
+### Presets Used
+- `ci-windows`: Core build (gRPC enabled, AI disabled)
+- `ci-windows-ai`: Full stack (gRPC + AI runtime)
+
+### Environment
+- OS: windows-2022 (GitHub Actions)
+- Compiler: clang-cl 20.1.8 (LLVM)
+- Cache: sccache (500MB)
+- Generator: Ninja Multi-Config
+
+### Workflow File
+`.github/workflows/ci.yml` lines 66-102 (Build job)
+
+## Quick Troubleshooting Checklist
+
+- [ ] Is CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY set correctly?
+- [ ] Is compiler detected as clang-cl (not GNU-like)?
+- [ ] Is /EHsc present in compile commands?
+- [ ] Are Abseil include paths in compile commands?
+- [ ] Is sccache configured as launcher (not wrapper)?
+- [ ] Are long paths enabled (git config)?
+- [ ] Is correct preset used (ci-windows, not lin/mac)?

+- **Expected**: All pass (no unit test changes in this branch)
+
+### Integration Tests
+- **Status**: ⏳ TESTING (CI Run #485)
+- **Expected**: All pass (platform fixes shouldn't break integration)
+
+### E2E Tests
+- **Status**: ⏳ TESTING (CI Run #485)
+- **Expected**: All pass (no UI changes)
+
+## GO/NO-GO Decision Criteria
+
+### GREEN LIGHT (GO) Requirements
+- ✅ All 3 platforms build successfully in CI
+- ✅ All test suites pass on all platforms
+- ✅ No new compiler warnings introduced
+- ✅ HTTP API validated on at least one platform (already done: macOS)
+- ✅ No critical security issues introduced

+
+## Current Blockers
+
+### ACTIVE BLOCKERS
+
+**BLOCKER #1: Linux FLAGS Symbol Conflicts (CRITICAL)**
+- **Status**: ⚠️ UNDER OBSERVATION (waiting for CI run #485 results)
+- **First Seen**: CI Run #19528789779
+- **Description**: Multiple definition of FLAGS_rom and FLAGS_norom; undefined FLAGS_quiet
+- **Impact**: Blocks yaze_emu_test linking on Linux
+- **Root Cause**: flags.cc compiled into agent library without ODR isolation
+- **Owner**: CLAUDE_LIN_BUILD
+- **Resolution Plan**: If persists in run #485, requires agent library linking fix
+- **Severity**: CRITICAL - blocks Linux release
+
+**BLOCKER #2: Code Quality - clang-format violations**
+- **Status**: ❌ FAILED (CI Run #485)
+- **Description**: Formatting violations in test_manager.h, editor_manager.h, menu_orchestrator.cc
+- **Impact**: Non-blocking for release (cosmetic), but should be fixed before merge
+- **Owner**: TBD
+- **Resolution Plan**: Run `cmake --build build --target format` before merge
+- **Severity**: LOW - does not block release, can be fixed in follow-up
+
+### RESOLVED BLOCKERS
+
+**✅ Windows std::filesystem compilation** - Fixed in commit 43118254e6
+**✅ Linux circular dependency** - Fixed in commit 0812a84a22
+**✅ macOS z3ed linker error** - Fixed in commit 9c562df277
+
+## Release Merge Plan
+
+### When GREEN LIGHT Achieved:
+1. **Verify CI run #485 passes all jobs**
+2. **Run smoke build verification**: `scripts/agents/smoke-build.sh {preset} {target}` on all platforms
+3. **Update coordination board** with final status
+4. **Create merge commit**: `git checkout develop && git merge feat/http-api-phase2 --no-ff`
+5. **Run final test suite**: `scripts/agents/run-tests.sh {preset}`
+6. **Merge to master**: `git checkout master && git merge develop --no-ff`
+7. **Tag release**: `git tag -a v0.x.x -m "Release v0.x.x - Windows std::filesystem fix + HTTP API Phase 2"`
+8. **Push with tags**: `git push origin master develop --tags`
+9. **Trigger release workflow**: CI will automatically build release artifacts
+
+### If RED LIGHT (Failure):
+1. **Identify failing job** in CI run #485
+2. **Assign to specialized agent**:
+   - Windows failures → CLAUDE_AIINF (Windows Build Specialist)
+   - Linux failures → CLAUDE_AIINF (Linux Build Specialist)
+   - macOS failures → CLAUDE_AIINF (macOS Build Specialist)
+   - Test failures → CLAUDE_CORE (Test Specialist)
+3. **Create emergency fix** on feat/http-api-phase2 branch
+4. **Trigger new CI run** and update this checklist
+5. **Repeat until GREEN LIGHT**
+
+## Monitoring Protocol
+
+**CLAUDE_RELEASE_COORD will check CI status every 5 minutes and update coordination board with:**
+- Platform build progress (queued/in_progress/success/failure)
+- Test execution status
+- Any new blockers discovered
+- ETA to GREEN LIGHT decision
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. ⏳ Monitor CI run #485 - https://github.com/scawful/yaze/actions/runs/19529565598
+2. ⏳ Wait for Windows build job to complete (critical validation)
+3. ⏳ Wait for Linux build job to complete
+4. ⏳ Wait for macOS build job to complete

+Here's a breakdown of how to execute that strategy:
+
+That’s a fantastic approach. It's the classic and most-respected "build in public" model, where you lead with value, and the community supports you because they want to see you succeed. The motivation is pure, which is exactly why people will be happy to donate.
+
+Here is a game plan to turn "Halext Labs" into the central hub for this, using your two key assets.
+
+### 1. The "Hype" Engine: `Oracle of Secrets`
+
+This is your "top-of-funnel" asset. It’s the flashy, exciting project that draws players and new fans in. Your goal here is to **capture and direct** that hype.
+
+* **Dedicated Project Page (Priority 1):** That `/oracle-of-secrets` page we discussed is your most important new page. It needs to be the definitive, official source.
+    * **Killer Feature:** A **gameplay trailer**. This is non-negotiable for a ROM hack. Make a 1-2 minute video showing off new areas, puzzles, and "wow" moments. Host it on YouTube (as "Halext Labs") and embed it at the top of this page.
+    * **"The Pitch":** Screenshots, a bulleted list of new features, and a clear "Download Patch" button.
+    * **The "Hook":** On this page, you add your first call-to-action: "Want to discuss the hack or get help? **Join the Halext Labs Discord.**"
+
+* **Content Marketing (Your New Blog):**
+    * **Blog Post 1: "The Making of Oracle of Secrets."** A full post-mortem. Talk about your inspiration, the challenges, and show old, "work-in-progress" screenshots. People *love* this.
+    * **Blog Post 2: "My Top 5 Favorite Puzzles in OoT (And How I Built Them)."** This does double-duty: it's fun for players and a technical showcase for other hackers.
+
+### 2. The "Platform" Engine: `Yaze`
+
+This is your "long-term value" asset. This is what will keep other *creators* (hackers, devs) coming back. These are your most dedicated future supporters.
+
+* **Dedicated Project Page (Priority 2):** The `/yaze` page is your "product" page.
+    * **The "Pitch":** "An All-in-One Z3 Editor, Emulator, and Debugger." Show screenshots of the UI.
+    * **Clear Downloads:** Link directly to your GitHub Releases.
+    * **The "Hook":** "Want to request a feature, report a bug, or show off what you've made? **Join the Halext Labs Discord.**"
+
+* **Content Marketing (Your New Blog):**
+    * **Blog Post 1: "Why I Built My Own Z3 Editor: The Yaze Story."** Talk about the limitations of existing tools and what your C++ approach solves.
+    * **Blog Post 2: "Tutorial: How to Make Your First ROM Hack with Yaze."** A simple, step-by-step guide. This is how you create new users for your platform.
+
+### 3. The Community Hub: The Discord Server
+
+Notice both "hooks" point to the same place. You need a central "home" for all this engagement. A blog is for one-way announcements; a Discord is for two-way community.
+
+* **Set up a "Halext Labs" Discord Server.** It's free.
+* **Key Channels:**
+    * `#announcements` (where you post links to your new blog posts and tool releases)
+    * `#general-chat`
+    * `#oracle-of-secrets-help` (for players)
+    * `#yaze-support` (for users)
+    * `#bug-reports`
+    * `#showcase` (This is critical! A place for people to show off the cool stuff *they* made with Yaze. This builds loyalty.)
+
+### 4. The "Support Me" Funnel (The Gentle Capitalization)
+
+Now that you have the hype, the platform, and the community, you can *gently* introduce the support links.
+
+1.  **Set Up the Platforms:**
+    * **GitHub Sponsors:** This is the most "tech guy" way. It's built right into your profile and `scawful/yaze` repo. It feels very natural for supporting an open-source tool.
+    * **Patreon:** Also excellent. You can brand it "Halext Labs on Patreon."
+
+2.  **Create Your "Tiers" (Keep it Simple):**
+    * **$2/mo: "Supporter"** -> Gets a special "Supporter" role in the Discord (a colored name). This is the #1 low-effort, high-value reward.
+    * **$5/mo: "Insider"** -> Gets the "Supporter" role + access to a private `#dev-diary` channel where you post work-in-progress screenshots and ideas before anyone else.
+    * **$10/mo: "Credit"** -> All the above + their name on a "Supporters" page on `halext.org`.
+
+3.  **Place Your Links (The Funnel):**
+    * In your GitHub repo `README.md` for Yaze.
+    * On the new `/yaze` and `/oracle-of-secrets` pages ("Enjoy my work? Consider supporting Halext Labs on [Patreon] or [GitHub Sponsors].")
+    * In the footer of `halext.org`.
+    * In the description of your new YouTube trailers/tutorials.
+    * In a pinned message in your Discord's `#announcements` channel.
+
+This plan directly links the "fun" (OoT, Yaze) to the "engagement" (Blog, Discord) and provides a clear, no-pressure path for those engaged fans to become supporters.

+# Build Performance & Agent-Friendly Tooling (November 2025)
+
+Status: **Draft**  
+Owner: CODEX (open to CLAUDE/GEMINI participation)
+
+## Goals
+- Reduce incremental build times on all platforms by tightening target boundaries, isolating optional
+  components, and providing cache-friendly presets.
+- Allow long-running or optional tasks (e.g., asset generation, documentation, verification scripts)
+  to run asynchronously or on-demand so agents don’t block on them.
+- Provide monitoring/metrics hooks so agents and humans can see where build time is spent.
+- Organize helper scripts (build, verification, CI triggers) so agents can call them predictably.
+
+## Plan Overview
+
+### 1. Library Scoping & Optional Targets
+1. Audit `src/CMakeLists.txt` and per-module cmake files for broad `add_subdirectory` usage.
+   - Identify libraries that can be marked `EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` and only built when needed (e.g.,
+     optional tools, emulator targets).
+   - Leverage `YAZE_MINIMAL_BUILD`, `YAZE_BUILD_Z3ED`, etc., but ensure presets reflect the smallest
+     viable dependency tree.
+2. Split heavy modules (e.g., `app/editor`, `app/emu`) into more granular targets if they are
+   frequently touched independently.
+3. Add caching hints (ccache, sccache) in the build scripts/presets for all platforms.
+
+### 2. Background / Async Tasks
+1. Move long-running scripts (asset bundling, doc generation, lints) into optional targets invoked by
+   a convenience meta-target (e.g., `yaze_extras`) so normal builds stay lean.
+2. Provide `scripts/run-background-tasks.sh` that uses `nohup`/`start` to launch doc builds, GH
+   workflow dispatch, or other heavy processes asynchronously; log their status for monitoring.
+3. Ensure CI workflows skip optional tasks unless explicitly requested (e.g., via workflow inputs).
+
+### 3. Monitoring & Metrics
+1. Add a lightweight timing report to `scripts/verify-build-environment.*` or a new
+   `scripts/measure-build.sh` that runs `cmake --build` with `--trace-expand`/`ninja -d stats` and
+   reports hotspots.
+2. Integrate a summary step in CI (maybe a bash step) that records build duration per preset and
+   uploads as an artifact or comment.
+3. Document how agents should capture metrics when running builds (e.g., use `time` wrappers, log
+   output to `logs/build_<preset>.log`).
+
+### 4. Agent-Friendly Script Organization
+1. Gather recurring helper commands into `scripts/agents/`:
+   - `run-gh-workflow.sh` (wrapper around `gh workflow run`)
+   - `smoke-build.sh <preset>` (configures & builds a preset in a dedicated directory, records time)
+   - `run-tests.sh <preset> <labels>` (standardizes test selections)
+2. Provide short README in `scripts/agents/` explaining parameters, sample usage, and expected output
+   files for logging back to the coordination board.
+3. Update `AGENTS.md` to reference these scripts so every persona knows the canonical tooling.
+
+### 5. Deliverables / Tracking
+- Update CMake targets/presets to reflect modular build improvements.
+- New scripts under `scripts/agents/` + documentation.
+- Monitoring notes in CI (maybe via job summary) and local scripts.
+- Coordination board entries per major milestone (library scoping, background tooling, metrics,
+  script rollout).
+
+## Dependencies / Risks
+- Coordinate with CLAUDE_AIINF when touching presets or build scripts—they may modify the same files
+  for AI workflow fixes.
+- When changing CMake targets, ensure existing presets still configure successfully (run verification
+  scripts + smoke builds on mac/linux/win).
+- Adding background tasks/scripts should not introduce new global dependencies; use POSIX Bash and
+  PowerShell equivalents where required.
+## Windows Stability Focus (New)
+- **Tooling verification**: expand `scripts/verify-build-environment.ps1` to check for Visual Studio workload, Ninja, and vcpkg caches so Windows builds fail fast when the environment is incomplete.
+- **CMake structure**: ensure optional components (HTTP API, emulator, CLI helpers) are behind explicit options and do not affect default Windows presets; verify each target links the right runtime/library deps even when `YAZE_ENABLE_*` flags change.
+- **Preset validation**: add Windows smoke builds (Ninja + VS) to the helper scripts/CI so we can trigger focused runs when changes land.

+# Modernization Plan – November 2025
+
+Status: **Draft**  
+Owner: Core tooling team  
+Scope: `core/asar_wrapper`, CLI/GUI flag system, project persistence, docs
+
+## Context
+- The Asar integration is stubbed out (`src/core/asar_wrapper.cc`), yet the GUI, CLI, and docs still advertise a working assembler workflow.
+- The GUI binary (`yaze`) still relies on the legacy `util::Flag` parser while the rest of the tooling has moved to Abseil flags, leading to inconsistent UX and duplicated parsing logic.
+- Project metadata initialization uses `std::localtime` (`src/core/project.cc`), which is not thread-safe and can race when the agent/automation stack spawns concurrent project creation tasks.
+- Public docs promise Dungeon Editor rendering details and “Examples & Recipes,” but those sections are either marked TODO or empty.
+
+## Goals
+1. Restore a fully functioning Asar toolchain across GUI/CLI and make sure automated tests cover it.
+2. Unify flag parsing by migrating the GUI binary (and remaining utilities) to Abseil flags, then retire `util::flag`.
+3. Harden project/workspace persistence by replacing unsafe time handling and improving error propagation during project bootstrap.
+4. Close the documentation gaps so the Dungeon Editor guide reflects current rendering, and the `docs/public/examples/` tree provides actual recipes.
+
+## Work Breakdown
+
+### 1. Asar Restoration
+- Fix the Asar CMake integration under `ext/asar` and link it back into `yaze_core_lib`.
+- Re-implement `AsarWrapper` methods (patch, symbol extraction, validation) and add regression tests in `test/integration/asar_*`.
+- Update `z3ed`/GUI code paths to surface actionable errors when the assembler fails.
+- Once complete, scrub docs/README claims to ensure they match the restored behavior.
+
+### 2. Flag Standardization
+- Replace `DEFINE_FLAG` usage in `src/app/main.cc` with `ABSL_FLAG` + `absl::ParseCommandLine`.
+- Delete `util::flag.*` and migrate any lingering consumers (e.g., dev tools) to Abseil.
+- Document the shared flag set in a single reference (README + `docs/public/developer/debug-flags.md`).
+
+### 3. Project Persistence Hardening
+- Swap `std::localtime` for `absl::Time` or platform-safe helpers and handle failures explicitly.
+- Ensure directory creation and file writes bubble errors back to the UI/CLI instead of silently failing.
+- Add regression tests that spawn concurrent project creations (possibly via the CLI) to confirm deterministic metadata.
+
+### 4. Documentation Updates
+- Finish the Dungeon Editor rendering pipeline description (remove the TODO block) so it reflects the current draw path.
+- Populate `docs/public/examples/` with at least a handful of ROM-editing recipes (overworld tile swap, dungeon entrance move, palette tweak, CLI plan/accept flow).
+- Add a short “automation journey” that links `README` → gRPC harness (`src/app/service/imgui_test_harness_service.cc`) → `z3ed` agent commands.
+
+## Exit Criteria
+- `AsarWrapper` integration tests green on macOS/Linux/Windows runners.
+- No binaries depend on `util::flag`; `absl::flags` is the single source of truth.
+- Project creation succeeds under parallel stress and metadata timestamps remain valid.
+- Public docs no longer contain TODO placeholders or empty directories for the sections listed above.
