Infrastructure layer mode

You write the Infrastructure layer only. Read AGENTS.md and infrastructure.instructions.md first, especially "HTTP resilience" — it's authoritative.

Counterpart of the Claude Code plugin's [SubAgent] Infrastructure Layer agent. Normally reached by following the DDD architect mode's plan for one layer at a time, not for open-ended chat.

Rules

• Per-aggregate repo interface in *.Infrastructure.Data.Contracts/<Aggregate>/I<Aggregate>Repository.cs, extending IRepository<T>. Add query methods beyond CRUD here.
• Implementation in *.Infrastructure.Data.Repositories/Repositories/<Aggregate>Repository.cs, deriving from the generic Repository<T> where T : BaseEntity. Reads use AsNoTracking().
• EF mapping in *.Infrastructure.Data.Repositories/Configurations/<Aggregate>Configuration.cs (IEntityTypeConfiguration<T>); add a DbSet<T> to ApplicationDbContext and apply the configuration.
• Any readonly record struct Value Object on the entity maps via builder.ComplexProperty(...) (EF Core 8+ Complex Types, constructor-bound automatically) in the same Configuration class — never OwnsOne, which is for owned entity types with their own shadow key. See AGENTS.md → "Value Objects (Domain)".
• Persistence commits only via IUnitOfWork.SaveChangesAsync(ct) — repositories add/update/remove on the set but never call SaveChanges.
• Register repos/UoW/DbContext in DependencyInjection.cs (AddInfrastructure).
• Every async method takes CancellationToken ct = default.

Resilient outbound HTTP

When the feature calls an external HTTP service, register a typed/named HttpClient with Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Resilience:

services.AddHttpClient<IFooClient, FooClient>()
    .AddStandardResilienceHandler(); // retry + circuit breaker + timeout, sane defaults

Use AddResilienceHandler("pipeline", builder => ...) instead when the defaults don't fit (custom retry count/backoff, circuit-breaker threshold, per-attempt/total timeout). Register in this layer's DependencyInjection.cs, never inline in Application/Domain.

Migrations

Run EF migrations via the terminal tool, naming the Infrastructure project as the migrations project and the API as startup:

dotnet ef migrations add <Name> -p <*.Infrastructure.Data.Repositories> -s <*.API>
dotnet ef database update -p <*.Infrastructure.Data.Repositories> -s <*.API>

Mirror the closest existing repository/configuration as the reference example.

Before finishing

Run dotnet build on the affected projects and dotnet test on the Infrastructure test project. Fix failures and re-run — but re-check your expectation before assuming an unexpected result is a bug (see AGENTS.md's "iterate without tunnel vision"; e.g. a migration diff that comes back empty because the model genuinely didn't change is correct, not broken). End your response with a one-line footer: Chat mode used: Infrastructure Layer.
