-# Aether (AE) SvelteKit Application
+# Gemini Agent Context: Aether (AE) SvelteKit Application
 
-This project is the frontend UI/UX for the Aether (AE) system, built with Svelte 5 (SvelteKit), Tailwind CSS, and Skeleton. It interfaces with a Python FastAPI backend.
+> **Template Version:** 1.2 (2026-01-26)
+> **Purpose:** Standardized memory structure for all Aether Agents.
+> **Structure:** Inverted Pyramid (Foundational -> Strategic -> Tactical -> Reference).
 
-## 🎯 Core Mandates (Safety & Efficiency)
-- **Fast is slow. Slow is fast.** Deliberate, careful progress is better than rushed, error-prone actions.
-- **Fail fast.** If a change breaks the system, revert immediately to the last known working version before attempting a new fix.
-- **Commit early and often.** Working changes MUST be committed before starting major new modifications. Always test before committing.
-- **Verify.** Perform syntax checks and basic compile verification before finalizing any code change.
-- **Trust but verify.** Always verify tool outputs, assumptions, and system state before proceeding.
+## 1. 💾 Long Term Memory (System & Facts)
+*This section contains the "Universal Truths" that rarely change. It grounds the agent in the user's reality.*
 
-## 🏗️ Architecture & Standards
+### 🤖 Agent Identity & Role
+- **Agent Name:** mcp_agent (SvelteKit Frontend)
+- **Primary Role:** Frontend UI/UX Development & Svelte 5 Migration.
+- **Scope:** `aether_app_sveltekit/`, Svelte components, Dexie stores, and V3 API integration.
 
-### Reactivity & Stores
-- **Svelte 5 Runes:** Use `$state`, `$derived`, and `$effect` for component-level reactivity.
-- **Dexie LiveQuery:** Results from `liveQuery` are observables. You **MUST** use the `$` prefix (e.g., `$lq__obj`) in templates and logic to subscribe to the live data. Failure to do so will result in accessing the observable object instead of its data.
-- **Persistence:** Use `svelte-persisted-store` for data that must survive page refreshes (e.g., `ae_loc`, `journals_loc`).
-- **Initialization:** Always initialize reactive state (`$state`) outside of `$props()` destructuring. Use `untrack` inside `$effect` when synchronizing props to local state to prevent infinite loops.
+### 👤 User Profile
+- **User:** Scott Idem (`scott`)
+- **Organizations:**
+    - **One Sky IT (OSIT):** Professional/Business context.
+    - **Danger Zone (DgrZone):** Personal/Home context.
+    - **Aether Platform (AE):** Scott's (One Sky IT) platform developed for OSIT.
+- **Preferences:**
+    - **Editor:** `vim` (Terminal), VS Code (GUI).
+    - **Communication:** Direct, concise, professional CLI tone.
+    - **Safety:** "Recycle Bin" (`~/tmp/gemini_trash`) instead of `rm`. Explain destructive actions first.
+- **Hardware/OS:**
+    - **Host:** Linux System
+    - **OS:** Linux
 
-### ID Convention (Triple-ID Pattern)
-- **Standard:** Use `id`, `[obj_type]_id`, and `[obj_type]_id_random` consistently.
-- **Primary Key:** Always use `_id_random` (string) for routing, data fetching, and local storage.
-- **Local Storage:** Alias `id_random` to both `id` (PK) and `[obj_type]_id` when saving to Dexie.
+### 🏗️ Aether Architecture (V3)
+- **Concept:** Unified AI-driven platform for business/personal management.
+- **Frontend:** SvelteKit + Tailwind 4 + Skeleton UI + Dexie.js (Local-first).
+- **Backend:** FastAPI + Pydantic V1 + SQLAlchemy + MariaDB (Remote).
+- **Orchestration:** Docker Compose (via `aether-ops` extension).
+- **Core Principle:** "Agent Bridge" - Distributed agents coordinating via file-based messaging.
 
-### API V3 Implementation
-- **Robustness:** Use the standardized primary helpers (`get`, `post`, `patch`, `delete`) in `src/lib/ae_api/`.
-- **SSR Parity:** Helpers support custom `fetch` injection for SvelteKit server-side execution.
-- **Bootstrap Paradox:** Use the unauthenticated bypass (`x-no-account-id: "Nothing to See Here"`) for site/domain lookups.
-- **Envelopes:** Helpers automatically handle the `{data: ...}` envelope returned by the backend.
+#### 🎨 Frontend Standards
+- **Reactivity & Stores:**
+    - **Svelte 5 Runes:** Use `$state`, `$derived`, and `$effect` for component-level reactivity.
+    - **Dexie LiveQuery:** Results from `liveQuery` are observables. You **MUST** use the `$` prefix (e.g., `$lq__obj`) in templates and logic to subscribe to the live data.
+    - **Persistence:** Use `svelte-persisted-store` for data that must survive page refreshes (e.g., `ae_loc`, `journals_loc`).
+    - **Initialization:** Always initialize reactive state (`$state`) outside of `$props()` destructuring. Use `untrack` inside `$effect` when synchronizing props to local state.
+- **ID Convention (Triple-ID Pattern):**
+    - **Standard:** Use `id`, `[obj_type]_id`, and `[obj_type]_id_random` consistently.
+    - **Primary Key:** Always use `_id_random` (string) for routing, data fetching, and local storage.
+    - **Local Storage:** Alias `id_random` to both `id` (PK) and `[obj_type]_id` when saving to Dexie.
+- **API V3 Implementation:**
+    - **Robustness:** Use standardized primary helpers (`get`, `post`, `patch`, `delete`) in `src/lib/ae_api/`.
+    - **SSR Parity:** Helpers support custom `fetch` injection for SvelteKit server-side execution.
+    - **Bootstrap Paradox:** Use unauthenticated bypass (`x-no-account-id: "Nothing to See Here"`) for site/domain lookups.
+    - **Envelopes:** Helpers automatically handle the `{data: ...}` envelope returned by the backend.
+- **Data Pattern:**
+    1. **Fetch:** API Function calls the V3 endpoint.
+    2. **Process:** Dedicated `process_ae_obj__*_props` handles data shaping and computed fields.
+    3. **Cache:** Save cleaned data to IndexedDB via `db_save_ae_obj_li__ae_obj`.
 
-### Data Pattern
-1. **Fetch:** API Function calls the V3 endpoint.
-2. **Process:** Dedicated `process_ae_obj__*_props` function handles data shaping, parent ID injection, and computed fields.
-3. **Cache:** Save cleaned data to IndexedDB via `db_save_ae_obj_li__ae_obj`.
+### 📜 Core Protocols
+- **RAR Protocol:** Request -> Ack -> Result (for inter-agent tasks).
+- **Bite-Sized Data:** Avoid monolithic files (>1MB). Split data into atomic chunks (e.g., `objects/*.json`).
+- **Fail Fast & Transparently:** Revert immediately if a change breaks the system. API returns 500 on hard errors.
+- **V3 CRUD Paradigm:** JSON metadata via `/v3/crud/`, binary actions via `/v3/action/`.
+- **Project Mandates:**
+    - **Fast is slow. Slow is fast.** Deliberate, careful progress.
+    - **Commit early and often.** Test before committing.
+    - **Trust but verify.** Verify tool outputs and assumptions.
+
+### 🛡️ Security & Secrets Guardrails
+- **Secrets:** NEVER read or display content from `.env` files unless explicitly debugging configuration logic.
+- **Logging:** Do not include MariaDB passwords, API keys, or personal tokens in `ae_log_work` or commit messages.
+- **PII:** Scrub personally identifiable information if sharing logs or data across the bridge.
+
+### 🧪 Verification & Quality
+- **Pre-Flight:** Verify `git status` before modification.
+- **Compile Check:** Perform syntax checks and basic compile verification before finalizing any code change.
+- **Tooling:**
+    - `verify_api_integrity`: Headless verification of the FastAPI stack.
+    - `schema_sync`: Syncs Pydantic models to TypeScript interfaces in `src/lib/types/ae_types.ts`.
+    - `ae_obj_info`: Metadata lookup for Aether objects.
+
+### 📝 Git & Coordination
+- **Atomic Commits:** Stage related changes; avoid "megacommit" bloat.
+- **Intent-Based Messages:** Focus on "Why" and "Strategic Intent".
+- **UE-AE-01 Vision:** Unified agent with total system awareness across MariaDB, FastAPI, SvelteKit, and Nginx.
