## Phase Status
### ✅ Phase 6: Resource Catalogue (COMPLETE)
**Goal**: Provide authoritative machine-readable specifications for CLI resources to enable AI/LLM integration.
**Implementation**:
- **Schema System**: Comprehensive resource definitions in `src/cli/service/resource_catalog.{h,cc}`
- **Resources Documented**: ROM, Patch, Palette, Overworld, Dungeon, Agent commands
- **Metadata**: Arguments (name, type, required, default), effects, return values, stability levels
- **Serialization**: Dual-format export (JSON compact, YAML human-readable)
- **Agent Describe**: `z3ed agent describe --format yaml --resource rom --output file.yaml`
**Key Artifacts**:
- `docs/api/z3ed-resources.yaml` - Machine-readable API catalog (2000+ lines)
- All ROM commands using `FLAGS_rom` consistently
- Fixed `rom info` segfault with dedicated handler
**Testing Results**:
```bash
# All commands validated
✅ z3ed rom info --rom=zelda3.sfc
✅ z3ed rom validate --rom=zelda3.sfc
✅ z3ed agent describe --format yaml
✅ z3ed agent describe --format json --resource rom
```
### ✅ AW-01: Sandbox ROM Management (COMPLETE)
**Goal**: Enable isolated ROM copies for safe agent experimentation.
**Implementation**:
- **RomSandboxManager**: Singleton service in `src/cli/service/rom_sandbox_manager.{h,cc}`
- **Directory**: `YAZE_SANDBOX_ROOT` environment variable or system temp directory
- **Naming**: `sandboxes/<timestamp>-<seq>/zelda3.sfc`
- **Lifecycle**: Create → Track → Cleanup
**Features**:
- Automatic directory creation
- ROM file cloning with error handling
- Active sandbox tracking for current session
- Cleanup utilities for old sandboxes
### ✅ AW-02: Proposal Registry (COMPLETE)
**Goal**: Track agent-generated ROM modifications with metadata and diffs.
**Implementation**:
- **ProposalRegistry**: Singleton service in `src/cli/service/proposal_registry.{h,cc}`
- **Metadata**: ID, sandbox_id, prompt, description, creation time, status
- **Logging**: Execution log with timestamps (`execution.log`)
- **Diffs**: Text-based diffs in `diff.txt`
- **Persistence**: Disk-based storage with lazy loading
**Critical Fix (Oct 1)**:
- **Problem**: Proposals created but `agent list` returned empty
- **Root Cause**: Registry only stored in-memory
- **Solution**: Implemented `LoadProposalsFromDiskLocked()` with lazy loading
- **Impact**: Cross-session tracking now works
**Proposal Lifecycle**:
```
1. CreateProposal() → /tmp/yaze/proposals/proposal-<timestamp>-<seq>/
2. AppendExecutionLog() → writes to execution.log with timestamps
3. ListProposals() → lazy loads from disk on first access
4. UpdateStatus() → modifies metadata (Pending → Accepted/Rejected)
```
### ✅ AW-03: ProposalDrawer GUI (COMPLETE)
**Goal**: Human review interface for agent proposals in YAZE GUI.
**Implementation**:
- **Location**: `src/app/editor/system/proposal_drawer.{h,cc}`
- **Access**: Debug → Agent Proposals (or Cmd+Shift+P)
- **Layout**: 400px right-side panel with split view
**Features**:
- **List View**:
- Selectable table with ID, status, creation time, prompt excerpt
- Filtering: All/Pending/Accepted/Rejected
- Refresh button to reload from disk
- Status indicators (🔵 Pending, ✅ Accepted, ❌ Rejected)
- **Detail View**:
- Metadata section (sandbox ID, timestamps, stats)
- Diff viewer (syntax highlighted, 1000 line limit)
- Execution log (scrollable, timestamps)
- Action buttons (Accept, Reject, Delete)
- **ROM Merging** (AcceptProposal):
```cpp
1. Get proposal metadata → extract sandbox_id
2. RomSandboxManager::FindSandbox(sandbox_id) → get path
3. Load sandbox ROM from disk
4. rom_->WriteVector(0, sandbox_rom.vector()) → full ROM copy
5. ROM marked dirty → save prompt appears
6. UpdateStatus(id, kAccepted)
```
**Known Limitations**:
- Large diffs/logs truncated at 1000 lines
- No keyboard navigation
- Metadata not fully persisted to disk (prompt/description reconstructed)
### ✅ IT-01: ImGuiTestHarness (gRPC) - Phase 1 COMPLETE
**Goal**: Enable automated GUI testing and remote control for AI-driven workflows.
**Implementation**:
- **Protocol Buffers**: `src/app/core/proto/imgui_test_harness.proto`
- **Service**: `src/app/core/imgui_test_harness_service.{h,cc}`
- **Transport**: gRPC over HTTP/2 (localhost:50051)
- **Build System**: FetchContent for gRPC v1.62.0
**RPC Methods (All Tested ✅)**:
1. **Ping** - Health check / connectivity test
- Returns: message, timestamp, YAZE version
- Status: ✅ Fully implemented
2. **Click** - GUI element interaction
- Request: target (e.g., "button:TestButton"), type (LEFT/RIGHT/DOUBLE)
- Status: ✅ Stub working (returns success)
3. **Type** - Keyboard input
- Request: target, text, clear_first flag
- Status: ✅ Stub working
4. **Wait** - Polling for conditions
- Request: condition, timeout_ms, poll_interval_ms
- Status: ✅ Stub working
5. **Assert** - State validation
- Request: condition, expected value
- Status: ✅ Stub working
6. **Screenshot** - Screen capture
- Request: region, format (PNG/JPG)
- Status: ✅ Stub (not yet implemented)
**Testing Results (Oct 1, 2025)**:
```bash
# All RPCs tested successfully with grpcurl
✅ Ping: Returns version "0.3.2" and timestamp
✅ Click: Returns success for "button:TestButton"
✅ Type: Returns success for text input
✅ Wait: Returns success for conditions
✅ Assert: Returns success for assertions
✅ Screenshot: Returns "not implemented" message
# Server operational
./yaze --enable_test_harness --test_harness_port 50052
✓ ImGuiTestHarness gRPC server listening on 0.0.0.0:50052
```
**Issues Resolved**:
- ❌→✅ Boolean flag parsing (added template specialization)
- ❌→✅ Port binding conflicts (changed to 0.0.0.0)
- ❌→✅ Service scope issue (made member variable)
- ❌→✅ Incomplete type deletion (moved destructor to .cc)
- ❌→✅ gRPC version compatibility (v1.62.0 with C++17 forcing)
**Build Configuration**:
- **YAZE Code**: C++23 (preserved)
- **gRPC Build**: C++17 (forced for compatibility)
- **Binary Size**: 74 MB (ARM64, with gRPC)
- **First Build**: ~15-20 minutes (gRPC compilation)
- **Incremental**: ~5-10 seconds

## Complete Workflow Example
### 1. Create Proposal (CLI)
```bash
# Agent generates proposal with sandbox ROM
z3ed agent run --rom zelda3.sfc --prompt "Fix palette corruption in overworld tile $1234"
# Output:
# ✓ Created sandbox: sandboxes/20251001T200215-1/
# ✓ Executing: palette export sprites_aux1 4 /tmp/soldier.col
# ✓ Proposal created: proposal-20251001T200215-1
```
### 2. List Proposals (CLI)
```bash
z3ed agent list
# Output:
# ID Status Created Prompt
# proposal-20251001T200215-1 Pending 2025-10-01 20:02:15 Fix palette corruption...
```
### 3. Review in GUI
```bash
# Launch YAZE
./build/bin/yaze.app/Contents/MacOS/yaze
# In YAZE:
# 1. File → Open ROM (zelda3.sfc)
# 2. Debug → Agent Proposals (or Cmd+Shift+P)
# 3. Select proposal in list
# 4. Review diff and execution log
# 5. Click "Accept" or "Reject"
```
### 4. Accept Proposal (GUI)
```
User clicks "Accept" button:
1. ProposalDrawer::AcceptProposal(proposal_id)
2. Find sandbox: sandboxes/20251001T200215-1/zelda3.sfc
3. Load sandbox ROM
4. rom_->WriteVector(0, sandbox_rom.vector())
5. ROM marked dirty → "Save changes?" prompt
6. Status updated to Accepted
7. User: File → Save ROM → changes committed ✅
```
### 5. Automated Testing (gRPC)
```bash
# Future: z3ed agent test integration
# Currently possible with grpcurl:
# Start YAZE with test harness
./yaze --enable_test_harness &
# Send test commands
grpcurl -plaintext -d '{"target":"button:Open ROM","type":"LEFT"}' \
127.0.0.1:50051 yaze.test.ImGuiTestHarness/Click
grpcurl -plaintext -d '{"condition":"window_visible:Overworld Editor","timeout_ms":5000}' \
127.0.0.1:50051 yaze.test.ImGuiTestHarness/Wait
```

**Estimated Effort**: 6-8 hours
**Implementation Guide**: 📖 **See `IT-01-PHASE2-IMPLEMENTATION-GUIDE.md` for detailed code examples**
**Steps**:
1. **Access TestManager** (30 min) - Pass TestManager reference to gRPC service
- Update service constructor to accept TestManager pointer
- Modify server startup in main.cc to pass TestManager::GetInstance()
- Validate TestEngine availability at startup
2. **IMPLEMENT**: Click Handler (2-3 hours)
- Parse target format: "button:Open ROM" → widget lookup
- Hook into ImGuiTestEngine::ItemClick()
- Handle different click types (LEFT/RIGHT/DOUBLE/MIDDLE)
- Error handling for widget-not-found scenarios
3. **IMPLEMENT**: Type Handler (1-2 hours)
- Find input fields via ImGuiTestEngine_FindItemByLabel()
- Hook into ImGuiTestEngine input functions
- Support clear_first flag (select all + delete)
- Handle special keys (Enter, Tab, Escape)
4. **IMPLEMENT**: Wait Handler (2 hours)
- Implement condition polling with configurable timeout
- Support condition types:
- window_visible:EditorName
- element_enabled:button:Save
- element_visible:menu:File
- Configurable poll interval (default 100ms)
5. **IMPLEMENT**: Assert Handler (1-2 hours)
- Evaluate conditions via ImGuiTestEngine state queries
- Support visible, enabled, and other state checks
- Return actual vs expected values
- Rich error messages for debugging
6. **IMPLEMENT**: Screenshot Handler (Basic) (1 hour)
- Placeholder implementation for Phase 2
- Document requirements: framebuffer access, image encoding
- Return "not implemented" message
- Full implementation deferred to Phase 3
### Priority 2: Policy Evaluation Framework (Oct 10-14)
**Task**: YAML-based constraint system for gating proposal acceptance
**Estimated Effort**: 4-6 hours
**Components**:
1. **DESIGN**: YAML Policy Schema
```yaml
policies:
change_constraints:
max_bytes_changed: 10240
allowed_banks: [0x00, 0x01, 0x0C]
forbidden_ranges:
- start: 0x00FFC0
end: 0x00FFFF
reason: "ROM header protected"
test_requirements:
min_pass_rate: 0.95
required_suites: ["palette", "overworld"]
review_requirements:
human_review_threshold: 1000 # bytes changed
approval_count: 1
```
2. **IMPLEMENT**: PolicyEvaluator Service
- `src/cli/service/policy_evaluator.{h,cc}`
- LoadPolicies() → parse YAML from `.yaze/policies/agent.yaml`
- EvaluateProposal() → check constraints
- Return policy violations with reasons
3. **INTEGRATE**: ProposalDrawer UI
- Add "Policy Status" section in detail view
- Show violations (red) or passed (green)
- Gate accept button based on policy evaluation
- Allow override with confirmation dialog
---
## Known Limitations
### Non-Blocking Issues
1. **ProposalDrawer UX**:
- No keyboard navigation (mouse-only)
- Large diffs/logs truncated at 1000 lines
- No pagination for long content
2. **Metadata Persistence**:
- Full metadata not saved to disk
- Prompt/description reconstructed from directory name
- Consider adding `metadata.json` to proposal directories
3. **Test Coverage**:
- No unit tests for ProposalDrawer (GUI component)
- Limited integration tests for agent workflow
- Awaiting ImGuiTestHarness for automated GUI testing
4. **gRPC Stubs**:
- Click/Type/Wait/Assert return success but don't interact with GUI
- Screenshot not implemented
- Need ImGuiTestEngine integration
### Future Enhancements
1. **Undo/Redo Integration**: Accept proposal → undo stack
2. **Diff Editing**: Accept/reject individual hunks
3. **Batch Operations**: Accept/reject multiple proposals
4. **Proposal Templates**: Save common prompts
5. **Telemetry**: Capture accept/reject rates for learning
