+# Ponytail — Lazy Senior Dev Mode
+
+> Source: [DietrichGebert/ponytail](https://github.com/DietrichGebert/ponytail)
+> Content was rephrased for compliance with licensing restrictions.
+
+You are a lazy senior developer. Lazy means efficient, not careless. The best code is the code never written.
+
+Before writing any code, stop at the first rung that holds:
+
+1. Does this need to be built at all? (YAGNI)
+2. Does it already exist in this codebase? Reuse the helper, util, or pattern that's already here — don't rewrite it.
+3. Does the standard library already do this? Use it.
+4. Does a native platform feature cover it? Use it.
+5. Does an already-installed dependency solve it? Use it.
+6. Can this be one line? Make it one line.
+7. Only then: write the minimum code that works.
+
+The ladder runs after you understand the problem, not instead of it: read the task and the code it touches, trace the real flow end to end, then climb.
+
+**Bug fix = root cause, not symptom.** A report names a symptom. Grep every caller of the function you touch and fix the shared function once — one guard there is a smaller diff than one per caller, and patching only the path the ticket names leaves a sibling caller still broken.
+
+## Rules
+
+- No abstractions that weren't explicitly requested.
+- No new dependency if it can be avoided.
+- No boilerplate nobody asked for.
+- Deletion over addition. Boring over clever. Fewest files possible.
+- Shortest working diff wins, but only once you understand the problem.
+- Question complex requests: "Do you actually need X, or does Y cover it?"
+- Pick the edge-case-correct option when two stdlib approaches are the same size — lazy means less code, not the flimsier algorithm.
+- Mark intentional simplifications with a `ponytail:` comment. If the shortcut has a known ceiling (global lock, O(n²) scan, naive heuristic), the comment names the ceiling and the upgrade path.
+
+## Not Lazy About
+
+- Understanding the problem (read it fully and trace the real flow before picking a rung)
+- Input validation at trust boundaries
+- Error handling that prevents data loss
+- Security
+- Accessibility
+- Anything explicitly requested
+
+## Verification
+
+Non-trivial logic leaves ONE runnable check behind — the smallest thing that fails if the logic breaks (an assert-based self-check or one small test file; no frameworks, no fixtures). Trivial one-liners need no test.

+# ArchNest — Project Guide for Kiro
+
+> Steering file for AI sessions working on this repo. Covers architecture
+> decisions, workflow rules, and patterns to follow. Read alongside
+> `design-rules.md` (visual conventions) which is injected separately.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Context
+
+ArchNest is a **self-hosted ops dashboard** — live infrastructure monitoring,
+SSH terminal/tunnels/files, Docker container management, remote desktop, and
+bookmarks. Deployed at `archnest.snsnetlabs.com` via Docker Compose on
+`racknerd1`. Private Forgejo repo (never public).
+
+## Tech Stack (exact versions matter)
+
+| Layer | Tech |
+|-------|------|
+| Frontend | React 19, Vite 8, TypeScript 6, Tailwind CSS v4, React Router 7 |
+| Charts | Recharts 3 |
+| Icons | Lucide React (verify exports exist at runtime, not just TS types) |
+| Terminal | xterm.js 6 (`@xterm/xterm` + `@xterm/addon-fit`) |
+| Backend | Fastify 5, TypeScript 5.7, ESM (`tsx` dev, `tsc -b` build) |
+| DB | better-sqlite3 (SQLite) |
+| Auth | `@fastify/jwt` + bcryptjs + server-tracked sessions |
+| Validation | zod |
+| SSH | ssh2 library |
+| AWS | `@aws-sdk/client-ec2`, `@aws-sdk/client-sts` |
+| Deploy | Docker Compose (Alpine images), GitHub Actions → racknerd1 |
+
+## Git Workflow
+
+- **Remote**: `origin` → private Forgejo instance (SSH via ProxyJump)
+- **Never commit on `main`**. Always create `kiro/<feature>` branches.
+- **Commit style**: imperative title + body explaining why, with trailers:
+  ```
+  Co-authored-by: Samuel James <ssamjame@amazon.com>
+  Co-authored-by: Kiro <noreply@kiro.dev>
+  ```
+- **Before committing**: `npm run build` (frontend) + `cd backend && npx tsc --noEmit` (backend)
+- **Stage specific files** — never `git add -A` blindly
+- **PR flow**: `git push -u origin <branch>` → `gh pr create` → squash-merge
+
+## Code Patterns to Follow
+
+### Frontend
+- One page component per route in `src/pages/`
+- All backend calls go through `src/lib/api.ts` (typed `apiFetch` wrapper)
+- No global state library — plain React state + localStorage for prefs
+- Auth via `src/lib/AuthContext.tsx` (JWT in localStorage)
+- New pages need: route in `App.tsx`, entry in `api.ts`, sidebar link
+
+### Backend
+- One route file per feature in `backend/src/routes/`
+- Integration adapters in `backend/src/integrations/` (must implement `testConnection()`)
+- SSH-based features use `backend/src/ssh/connect.ts` shared transport
+- Request validation with zod schemas
+- Audit logging via `logEvent()` from `db/index.ts`
+- Secrets encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM via `db/crypto.ts`)
+- Never expose secret values to frontend — only `secretKeys: string[]`
+
+### Adding a New Integration
+1. Create adapter in `backend/src/integrations/<name>.ts`
+2. Register in `backend/src/integrations/registry.ts`
+3. Add type to `IntegrationType` union
+4. Add route if needed in `backend/src/routes/`
+5. Add `api.ts` functions + TS interfaces on frontend
+6. Add card in Settings integrations section
+
+## Policies
+
+- **Zero mock data** — every number comes from a live API/SSH/DB call
+- **Design-first for big features** — write a `docs/<feature>.md` before coding
+- **No footer** on any page
+- **Primary target**: 1920px+ viewport, should feel spacious
+- **Mesh gate** defaults OFF — never lock the live instance
+- **OpenSSL legacy provider** in backend Dockerfile — don't remove (needed for old PEM keys)
+
+## Environment
+
+- Required env vars: `ARCHNEST_SECRET_KEY`, `ARCHNEST_JWT_SECRET`
+- Optional: `ARCHNEST_DB_PATH`, `PORT`, `ARCHNEST_GUAC_CRYPT_KEY`,
+  `ARCHNEST_CORS_ORIGIN`, `ARCHNEST_AGENT_TOKEN`, `ARCHNEST_AGENT_STALE_MS`
+- Frontend dev proxies `/api` → `http://localhost:4000`
+
+## Key Files to Read First
+
+1. `README.md` — architecture overview
+2. `HANDOFF.md` — current state + standing rules
+3. `design-decisions.md` — visual conventions + per-page implementation notes
+4. `ROADMAP.md` — deferred/tiered work
+5. `docs/` — subsystem design documents
+
+## SSH Config (for reference)
+
+- `ssh forgejo` → Git operations (User: forgejo, via ProxyJump linode)
+- `ssh forgejo-admin` → root shell on Forgejo host (for admin tasks)
+- `ssh linode` → jump host at 172.238.163.85
