PRIMARY DIRECTIVE: STRICT DEVELOPMENT PROTOCOL
You are an advanced coding LLM tasked with implementing changes in this repository. It is imperative that you adhere strictly to this iterative, atomic, and test-driven development protocol. Do not attempt to implement the entire specification at once.
The Protocol:
- Comprehensive Analysis: Thoroughly review the user's request and the detailed specifications provided. Examine the current state of the existing codebase to understand the existing architecture and what has already been implemented.
- Decomposition and Planning: Identify the delta between the current codebase and the specification. Break down all pending work into a list of small, atomic units. An atomic unit must be independently implementable and testable. You MUST print all pending work as atomic units prior to selecting the first task.
- Select ONE Atomic Unit (The "One Step" Rule): Choose one and only one atomic unit from your list to implement in this iteration. Select the smallest possible increment that moves the project toward the goal.
- Implementation: Build the functionality for this single atomic unit, ensuring it adheres strictly to the architectural patterns defined in this document.
- Rigorous Testing: Write comprehensive unit tests specifically for the implemented unit. This must include positive tests, negative tests, boundary conditions, and all foreseeable edge cases.
- Validation and Regression Check: Ensure all newly added tests pass. Crucially, verify that all pre-existing tests still pass. There must be zero regressions.
- Constraint: If a test fails more than twice after attempted fixes, STOP and re-evaluate the implementation strategy. Do not loop endlessly.
- Commit: Deliver the complete, high-quality implementation and its corresponding tests, ready for an atomic commit.

3. Development Rules
AST-Native Semantic Anchoring (The Docstring Protocol)
You must adhere to the following documentation laws without exception:
-
The Anti-Conversational Mandate: You are explicitly forbidden from using conversational, human-centric
# commentsto explain the intent of code. -
Docstrings Only: All capability definitions, intent, and constraints MUST live inside Python
"""docstrings"""or PydanticField(description="..."). Inline# commentsmay only be used as formal metadata tags (e.g.,# type: ignore). -
The
AGENT INSTRUCTION:Directive: When a docstring must break the fourth wall to give a parsing LLM a strict behavioral command, prefix it with exactly:AGENT INSTRUCTION:.
Data Determinism
When generating data structures or Pydantic models, ensure deterministic serialization. Arrays representing sets or IDs must be deterministically sorted via post-init validators to guarantee consistent hashing across environments, unless the array explicitly represents a chronological or structural sequence.
The Strict Lexical Architecture (Naming Directives)
You are operating within a 2026+ State-of-the-Art Neurosymbolic architecture. You are strictly forbidden from using legacy, human-friendly software naming conventions (e.g., CRUD terminology like "Create", "Update", "User", "Data"). Every object must be mathematically precise:
- Categorical Suffixing: Every object name MUST terminate with a strictly typed suffix:
...Event/...Receipt: Immutable historical facts (e.g.,SystemFaultEvent)....Intent/...Task: Execution triggers (e.g.,StateMutationIntent)....Policy/...Contract: Mathematical boundaries (e.g.,GenerativeManifoldSLA)....State/...Manifest: Ephemeral snapshots (e.g.,WorkingMemorySnapshot).
- Epistemic Prefixing: Prepend objects with a rigid domain identifier (e.g.,
Cognitive...,Epistemic...,Spatial...,Federated...). - Anti-CRUD Mandate: Reject flat terminology.
- FORBIDDEN:
Update,Delete,Remove,List,Data. - REQUIRED:
Mutation,Transmutation,Differential,Cascade,Topology,Manifold.
- FORBIDDEN:
Code Style & Quality
This project uses Ruff for Python linting/formatting, Mypy for typing, and Hadolint for Dockerfiles.
- Formatting: Do not manually format. Run uv run ruff format .
- Linting: Fix violations automatically where possible: uv run ruff check --fix .
- Docker Linting: Checked via pre-commit (hadolint).
- Typing:
- Strict static typing is encouraged.
- Run checks with: uv run mypy .
- Avoid Any wherever possible.
- Logging: Use the project's centralized logging configuration.
- Good: from src.utils.logger import logger -> logger.info("...")
- Licensing: Every .py file must start with the standard license header.
Legal & Intellectual Property
Strict Prohibition on External Code: You are strictly forbidden from copying, reproducing, imitating, or drawing from any external codebases, especially GPL, AGPL, or other non-permissive licenses or copy left licenses. All generated logic must be original or derived from permissively licensed (e.g., MIT, Apache 2.0) sources and properly attributed.
File Structure
- Source Code: src/coreason_searchpubmed/
- main.py: Entry point.
- init.py: Package definition.
- Tests: tests/
- Test files must start with test_.
- Use pytest fixtures where appropriate.
Testing Guidelines
Mandatory Requirement: 100% Test Coverage.
- Test Strategy (Redundancy & Depth):
- Redundant Coverage: Verify critical logic via multiple vectors (e.g., unit tests for isolation AND integration tests for workflow). Overlap is desired.
- Simple Tests: Verify happy paths and basic functionality.
- Complex Tests: Verify multi-step workflows, state mutations, and heavy computation.
- Edge Cases: Explicitly test boundary values, empty inputs, null states, and error handling.
- Property-Based Edge Cases: You MUST use the
hypothesislibrary for generating randomized data payloads to test schema edge cases and Pydantic validators. Do not rely solely on hardcoded synthetic edge cases. - Exclusions: Use # pragma: no cover sparingly and only for defensive code that is unreachable in standard execution.
- No Throwaway Scripts: Never create temporary test files (e.g., temp.py). Always add proper tests to the tests/ directory.
- External Services & APIs:
- Scenario A (Default): Use mocks (unittest.mock, pytest-mock, or respx) for ALL external calls.
- Scenario B (Credentials Provided): If the user provides API keys or connection strings:
- DO NOT remove the mocks.
- ADD a separate suite of live integration tests marked with @pytest.mark.live.
- Standard Env Vars: Expect Postgres credentials in PGHOST, PGPORT, PGUSER, PGPASSWORD, PGDATABASE.
- Safety: Never hardcode credentials in tests. Use environment variables.
4. Architecture & Security
Logging & Observability
This project enforces a centralized logging architecture using the loguru library.
-
Standard:
loguruis the exclusive logging library. Do not use the built-inloggingmodule orprintstatements. -
Outputs (Sinks):
- Console:
stderr(Human-readable text). - File:
logs/app.log(JSON-formatted, rotated every 500 MB or 1 day, retained for 10 days).
- Console:
-
Usage Example:
from src.utils.logger import logger # Inside an Agent or Module logger.info("Agent started task", task_id="123") try: ... except Exception: logger.exception("Agent failed to execute task")
Configuration Standards (Environment Variables)
Adhere to 12-Factor App principles. Use these standard variable names:
- Core:
- APP_ENV: development, testing, production.
- DEBUG: true or false.
- SECRET_KEY: For cryptographic signing/sessions.
- Logging:
- LOG_LEVEL: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR (Configure loguru with this).
- Infrastructure (if applicable):
- DOCKER_HOST: If interacting with the Docker engine.
- SSH_PRIVATE_KEY / SSH_USER: If managing remote connections.
- AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID / AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: For AWS services.
CI/CD Context
- CI Environment: GitHub Actions (Matrix testing on Ubuntu, Windows, MacOS).
- Python Versions: Tests run against Python 3.14 and 3.14t.
Docker Strategy
- Multi-stage Build: The Dockerfile has a builder stage and a runtime stage.
- User: The app runs as a non-root user (appuser). DO NOT change this to root.
- Base Image: Uses python:3.14-slim.
Dependencies
- Management: Always add dependencies via uv add .
- Lock File: uv.lock must be committed (for the generated project).
- Vulnerability Scanning: CI uses Trivy. Ensure no Critical/High vulnerabilities are introduced.
5. Documentation
- Documentation is built with Zensical.
- Update docs/index.md or add new markdown files in docs/ when adding features.
- Ensure all public functions have docstrings (Google or NumPy style).
6. Workflow & Debugging Protocol
If you encounter an error (e.g., test failure, linting error), follow this STRICT sequence:
- Read the Logs: Do not guess. Read the complete error message.
- Isolate: If multiple tests fail, focus on the simplest failure first.
- Reproduction: If the error is obscure, create a minimal reproduction case within the test suite (not a temp file).
- Fix: Apply the fix.
- Verify: Run the specific test case again.
🛡️ Mandatory Pre-Flight Checklist
Before finalizing an AI-generated refactor or proposing a commit, you MUST run the following strict sequence locally. Failure to achieve zero-drift execution of all tools means the task is incomplete:
-
uv run ruff format . -
uv run ruff check . --fix -
uv run mypy src/ tests/ -
uv run pytest
7. Human-in-the-Loop Triggers
STOP and ASK the user before:
- Modifying database migrations or schema files.
- Deleting any file outside of src/ or tests/.
- Adding a dependency that requires OS-level libraries (e.g., libpq-dev).
- Committing any secrets or API keys (even for testing).
