Summary

  • Introduces a six-specialist agentic system under .claude/ with an orchestrator protocol that classifies, plans, dispatches, validates, and opens PRs.
  • Rewrites CLAUDE.md as a session front door: branch model, build/test commands, load-bearing constraints, secrets list, specialist routing.
  • Adds local quality tooling: curated .swiftlint.yml, pre-commit lint hook, commit-msg Conventional Commits hook, one-time install script.
  • Wires first CI/CD pipeline: GitHub Actions workflow (lint → build → test → upload xcresult on failure), Dependabot weekly SPM bumps, PR + issue templates.

Why

This codifies the workflow rules we agreed on (one PR at a time, options-over-decisions, no auto-merge, dev as integration branch, main as release-only) so they survive across Claude sessions instead of being re-derived each time. It also gets a CI gate on every PR before the codebase grows further.

Test plan

  • CI workflow runs on this PR (first run — Xcode version or simulator name in ci.yml may need a one-line tweak for macos-15's actual installed Xcode; that is build-ci-specialist's first follow-up).
  • Locally: ./scripts/install-hooks.sh activates hooks; brew install swiftlint enables the pre-commit lint check.
  • Branch protection on dev and main set via GitHub UI (Settings → Branches → require PR + status check + linear history).

Risks

  • CI workflow may fail on first run. Expected — the Xcode version pin (26.0) and simulator name (iPhone 16 Pro) are guesses for what macos-15 runners ship today. Easy fix once we see the failure.
  • *.xcscheme is gitignored globally. Pre-existing rule, unchanged here. Will silently block any new shared scheme; flagged for follow-up in gotchas discussions.
  • Savely/GoogleService-Info.plist remains tracked in history. Now in .gitignore (added on main with the redesign), so future changes won't be committed. Separate chore/stop-tracking-firebase-config PR will git rm --cached it. Repo is private and Firebase iOS API keys are not true secrets, so this is hygiene, not an emergency.

Known follow-up tasks (queued for build-ci-specialist)

  1. Align deployment target to iOS 26 (project default is 17.0, app is 26.0, tests are 17.5).
  2. Investigate duplicate ContentView.swift (one in Savely/, one in Savely/Views/).
  3. Decide on the *.xcscheme gitignore rule.
  4. Make SavelyTests / SavelyUITests schemes shared if needed.

Checklist

  • Branch named with approved prefix (chore/)
  • Commits follow Conventional Commits (4 atomic commits, see history)
  • No hardcoded user-facing strings introduced
  • No secrets staged
  • Targets dev, not main

Replaces the previous architecture-only CLAUDE.md with a session-front-door
document: branch model, build/test commands, load-bearing constraints,
secrets list, specialist routing table, and Definition of Done.

The full orchestrator protocol lives at .claude/protocols/orchestrator.md;
CLAUDE.md points there for non-trivial work.

Introduces the agentic Claude Code architecture:

- .claude/protocols/orchestrator.md
    classify -> plan -> dispatch -> validate -> PR flow

- .claude/agents/*.md (six specialists)
    swiftui-feature, data-model, services, build-ci, qa-tester,
    git-workflow. Each has owned paths, off-limits paths, and rules.

- .claude/knowledge/*
    architecture, signing-and-ci, testing, localization, firebase,
    common-rules. gotchas.yaml seeded with three discovered invariants:
    only Savely.xcscheme is shared, iOS 26 is the deployment floor,
    and Config.plist / GoogleService-Info.plist must never be committed.

- .claude/commands/orch.md
    /orch slash command that loads the orchestrator protocol.

Adds local-quality tooling that the CI workflow also runs:

- .swiftlint.yml
    Curated rule set: bug-finders enabled (force_unwrapping, first_where,
    contains_over_filter_count, etc.), style-noise disabled (line_length,
    function_body_length). Custom rule warns on hardcoded user-facing
    Text("...") literals in Views/.

- .githooks/pre-commit
    Runs SwiftLint on staged .swift files before each commit. Skips
    gracefully if SwiftLint is not installed.

- .githooks/commit-msg
    Enforces Conventional Commits (feat, fix, refactor, chore, docs, ci,
    build, test, style, perf) with scope and 72-char subject limits.

- scripts/install-hooks.sh
    One-time activation: chmod +x .githooks/* and
    git config core.hooksPath .githooks. Run after cloning.

First CI/CD pass for the project:

- .github/workflows/ci.yml
    Triggers on PR (any base) and push to dev/main. Skips draft PRs.
    Runner: macos-15. Steps: select Xcode -> cache SPM keyed on
    Package.resolved hash -> SwiftLint --strict -> resolve packages ->
    xcodebuild build -> xcodebuild test -> upload .xcresult on failure.
    Uses xcbeautify for readable logs and CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO so
    the runner does not need signing certs.

- .github/dependabot.yml
    Weekly SPM bumps on Mondays (grouped patch+minor, individual majors)
    and monthly GitHub Actions bumps. Both target the dev branch and
    use Conventional Commit prefixes.

- .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
    Summary / Why / Test plan / Risks / Checklist sections.

- .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/{bug_report,feature_request,config}
    Two issue types and a config that disables blank issues.

The workflow's first run on this PR will likely need the Xcode version
or simulator name tweaked for whatever macos-15 ships — that is an
expected first task for build-ci-specialist.

The first CI run flagged 231 violations on the existing redesign code,
because --strict upgrades every warning to an error and the initial config
enabled style rules that don't catch bugs (comma spacing, vertical
whitespace, trailing closures in SwiftUI).

Two changes:

- .swiftlint.yml
    Disable style rules that produce noise without finding bugs (comma,
    colon, vertical_whitespace, trailing_newline, opening_brace,
    statement_position, multiple_closures_with_trailing_closure,
    legacy_objc_type, large_tuple, trailing_comma, implicit_optional_init,
    static_over_final_class, etc.). Keep bug-finders: force_unwrapping,
    first_where, contains_over_filter_count, identical_operands,
    weak_delegate, sorted_first_last, etc. Move unused_declaration and
    unused_import into analyzer_rules so SwiftLint stops complaining
    they're misplaced.

- .github/workflows/ci.yml
    Drop --strict. CI now fails only on error-severity violations
    (force_cast, force_try). Warnings show up as inline annotations
    via --reporter github-actions-logging.

force_unwrapping stays as warning so the ~10 existing force-unwraps
don't block merge today. After a dedicated cleanup PR, bump it to
error so new force-unwraps fail CI — that's the ratchet pattern.

Config.plist is gitignored (it holds the OpenAI API key), but the Xcode
project declares it as a required build input. On a fresh checkout the
build fails before compilation:

    error: Build input file cannot be found:
    '.../Savely/Config.plist' (in target 'Savely' from project 'Savely')

CI never calls the OpenAI API, so the real key is not needed — only the
file. Add a step that writes a minimal plist with the OPENAI_API_KEY
field set to a placeholder value before the SPM resolve step.

Also append the rule to .claude/knowledge/gotchas.yaml so future Claude
sessions don't have to rediscover this. Same pattern will apply to
GoogleService-Info.plist once that PR (chore/stop-tracking-firebase-config)
removes it from the index.

The CI test step failed with:

    compiling for iOS 17.5, but module 'Savely' has a minimum deployment
    target of iOS 26.0
    @testable import Savely

The Savely app target was bumped to iOS 26 during the redesign, but the
project default stayed at 17.0 and SavelyTests stayed at 17.5. The test
bundle was compiling against 17.5 while @testable importing a 26.0 module
— a guaranteed link failure.

Surgical fix in project.pbxproj — six IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET values:

    project Debug             17.0 -> 26.0
    project Release           17.0 -> 26.0
    Savely Debug              26.0 (already)
    Savely Release            26.0 (already)
    SavelyTests Debug         17.5 -> 26.0
    SavelyTests Release       17.5 -> 26.0

SavelyUITests has no per-target override and inherits the project default,
which is now 26.0.

Updates the gotcha entry in .claude/knowledge/gotchas.yaml to reflect the
resolved state and to add the lesson: when bumping a project default, also
bump every per-target override.

…urn 10min

Tests passed in 10 minutes, but most of that time was the Xcode template's
auto-generated launch performance tests:

    SavelyUITestsLaunchTests::testLaunch  (×8 iterations: 32s, 30s, 82s, 38s, 18s, 14s, 10s, 10s)
    SavelyUITests::testLaunchPerformance  (210s)
    SavelyUITests::testExample            (112s)

XCApplicationLaunchMetric runs the app multiple times measuring start-up
time, then fails if any iteration falls outside the std-dev threshold.
On shared CI runners one slow iteration is normal — and that's exactly
what flagged Process completed with exit code 65 here (one launch took
81.7s, blew the threshold).

Net signal: zero. The template tests assert nothing about app behavior —
they only measure how fast it launches, which is meaningless on a
contended runner. Burning ~10 min/run for that is a bad trade.

Add -skip-testing:SavelyUITests to the Test step. The Build step still
compiles the bundle so we catch breakage, just doesn't execute tests.
SavelyTests (the unit-test bundle, currently empty) still runs.

Document the rationale in .claude/knowledge/gotchas.yaml so qa-tester
knows to drop the flag once real UI tests exist.
