PR: PM Mode as Default - Phase 1 Implementation

Status: ✅ Ready for Review Test Coverage: 26 tests, all passing Breaking Changes: None

---

📋 Summary

This PR implements Phase 1 of the PM-as-Default architecture: PM Mode Initialization and Validation Infrastructure.

What This Enables

• ✅ Automatic Context Contract generation (project-specific rules)
• ✅ Reflexion Memory system (learning from mistakes)
• ✅ 5 Core Validators (security, dependencies, runtime, tests, contracts)
• ✅ Foundation for 4-phase workflow (PLANNING/TASKLIST/DO/ACTION)

---

🎯 Problem Solved

Before

• PM Mode was optional and rarely used
• No enforcement of project-specific rules (Kong, Infisical, .env禁止)
• Same mistakes repeated (no learning system)
• No pre-execution validation (implementations broke rules)

After

• PM Mode initializes automatically at session start
• Context Contract enforces rules before execution
• Reflexion Memory prevents recurring mistakes
• Validators block problematic code before execution

---

🏗️ Architecture

1. PM Mode Init Hook

Location: superclaude/core/pm_init/

from superclaude.core.pm_init import initialize_pm_mode

# Runs automatically at session start
init_data = initialize_pm_mode()
# Returns: Context Contract + Reflexion Memory + Project Structure

Features:

• Git repository detection
• Lightweight structure scan (paths only, no content reading)
• Context Contract auto-generation
• Reflexion Memory loading

---

2. Context Contract

Location: docs/memory/context-contract.yaml (auto-generated)

Purpose: Enforce project-specific rules

version: 1.0.0
principles:
  use_infisical_only: true
  no_env_files: true
  outbound_through: kong
runtime:
  node:
    manager: pnpm
    source: lockfile-defined
validators:
  - deps_exist_on_registry
  - tests_must_run
  - no_env_file_creation
  - outbound_through_proxy

Detection Logic:

• Infisical → no_env_files: true
• Kong → outbound_through: kong
• Traefik → outbound_through: traefik
• pnpm-lock.yaml → manager: pnpm

---

3. Reflexion Memory

Location: docs/memory/reflexion.jsonl

Purpose: Learn from mistakes, prevent recurrence

{"ts": "2025-10-19T...", "task": "auth", "mistake": "forgot kong routing", "rule": "all services route through kong", "fix": "added kong route", "tests": ["test_kong.py"], "status": "adopted"}

Features:

• Add entries: memory.add_entry(ReflexionEntry(...))
• Search similar: memory.search_similar_mistakes("kong routing")
• Get rules: memory.get_rules()

---

4. Validators

Location: superclaude/validators/

ContextContractValidator

• Enforces project-specific rules
• Checks .env file creation (禁止)
• Detects hardcoded secrets
• Validates Kong/Traefik routing

DependencySanityValidator

• Validates package.json/pyproject.toml
• Checks package name format
• Detects version inconsistencies

RuntimePolicyValidator

• Validates Node.js/Python versions
• Checks engine specifications
• Ensures lockfile consistency

TestRunnerValidator

• Detects test files in changes
• Runs tests automatically
• Fails if tests don't pass

SecurityRoughcheckValidator

• Detects hardcoded secrets (Stripe, Supabase, OpenAI, Infisical)
• Blocks .env file creation
• Warns on unsafe patterns (eval, exec, shell=True)

---

📊 Test Coverage

Total: 26 tests, all passing

PM Init Tests (11 tests)

• ✅ Git repository detection
• ✅ Structure scanning
• ✅ Context Contract generation (Infisical, Kong, Traefik)
• ✅ Runtime detection (Node, Python, pnpm, uv)
• ✅ Reflexion Memory (load, add, search)

Validator Tests (15 tests)

• ✅ Context Contract validation
• ✅ Dependency sanity checks
• ✅ Runtime policy validation
• ✅ Security roughcheck (secrets, .env, unsafe patterns)
• ✅ Validator chain (all pass, early stop)

# Run tests

🚀 Usage

Automatic Initialization

# Session start (automatic)
from superclaude.core.pm_init import initialize_pm_mode

init_data = initialize_pm_mode()

# Returns
{
    "status": "initialized",
    "git_root": "/path/to/repo",
    "structure": {...},  # Docker, Infra, Package managers
    "context_contract": {...},  # Project-specific rules
    "reflexion_memory": {
        "total_entries": 5,
        "rules": ["all services route through kong", ...],
        "recent_mistakes": [...]
    }
}

Manual Validation

from superclaude.validators import (
    ContextContractValidator,
    SecurityRoughcheckValidator,
    ValidationStatus
)

# Create validator
validator = SecurityRoughcheckValidator()

# Validate changes
result = validator.validate({
    "changes": {
        ".env": "SECRET_KEY=abc123"
    }
})

# Check result
if result.failed:
    print(result.message)  # "CRITICAL security issues detected"
    print(result.details)  # {"critical": ["❌ .env file detected"]}
    print(result.suggestions)  # ["Remove hardcoded secrets", ...]

Reflexion Memory

from superclaude.core.pm_init import ReflexionMemory, ReflexionEntry

memory = ReflexionMemory(git_root)

# Add entry
entry = ReflexionEntry(
    task="auth implementation",
    mistake="forgot kong routing",
    evidence="direct connection detected",
    rule="all services must route through kong",
    fix="added kong service in docker-compose.yml",
    tests=["test_kong_routing.py"]
)
memory.add_entry(entry)

# Search similar mistakes
similar = memory.search_similar_mistakes("kong routing missing")
# Returns: List[ReflexionEntry] with similar past mistakes

# Get all rules
rules = memory.get_rules()
# Returns: ["all services must route through kong", ...]
