+# Æther Go Project Workflow Instructions
+
+These instructions apply to all coding work in Æther Go repositories.
+
+This file is self-contained. Do not assume access to this Guides repository or any other Æther repository when following these instructions.
+
+## Engineering Process: Strict TDD
+
+Follow TDD (Red, Green, Refactor) for all feature and bug-fix work:
+
+- **Red**: Write or update a test first. Confirm the test fails for the expected reason.
+- **Green**: Implement the minimum code needed to pass the test.
+- **Refactor**: Improve code only after tests are green.
+
+Do not implement behavior before a failing test exists, unless the user explicitly asks to skip TDD.
+
+## Testing Requirements
+
+- Always create and update tests in `*_test.go` files (Go language standard).
+- Use the repository's established test framework (prefer testify suites for new coverage where appropriate).
+- Run focused tests for touched packages first using `go test -run <TestName> ./path/to/package`.
+- Run broader package or module suites as needed.
+- Run full project validation when requested or when change risk warrants it.
+- Preserve behavior validated by the repository's behavior/integration suites unless a behavioral change is explicitly requested.
+
+## Coverage Standards
+
+Apply coverage gates per package/module, not repository-wide aggregate:
+
+- **Target**: 80%+ coverage per module.
+- **Warning zone**: 65% to 79.99% (below target, improve during normal engineering work).
+- **High risk**: 50% to 64.99% (requires explicit justification and follow-up).
+- **Fail gate**: Below 50% (unacceptable).
+
+Exclude generated code from coverage calculations. Run coverage analysis for changed modules:
+
+```bash
+go test -covermode=atomic -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
+```
+
+## Commit Checkpoints
+
+Create commits at these checkpoints unless the user explicitly asks not to commit:
+
+- After writing failing tests (red commit).
+- After implementation passes tests (green commit).
+- After refactoring (if substantial refactoring occurred).
+- After changelog updates (separate docs-only commit).
+
+For each functional change block, create at least one code commit before moving to unrelated work. Keep commits small and scoped to one change unit. Use non-interactive git commands.
+
+### Changelog Commits
+
+After completing a change block:
+
+1. Update the changelog (typically `CHANGELOG.md`).
+2. Create a separate docs-only commit for changelog updates.
+3. Keep changelog commits scoped to documentation changes only—do not mix code edits into that commit.
+
+### Commit Message Guidance
+
+Prefer conventional commits with clear scopes and concise summaries.
+
+- Preferred format for Go maintenance and tooling changes: `chore(go): <summary>`
+- Preferred format for documentation updates: `docs: <summary>`
+- Keep summaries lowercase, imperative, and under 72 characters when possible.
+- Use one commit per logical change.
+
+Examples:
+
+- `chore(go): update dependency injection guidance`
+- `docs: clarify security scanning requirements`
+
+## Go Conventions
+
+- **Go version**: Target the repository's standard Go toolchain (typically `1.26.1`) and maintain compatibility with declared repository settings.
+- **Test files**: Keep tests in `*_test.go` files in the same package as the code being tested.
+- **Test suites**: Prefer testify suites for new Go test coverage where appropriate.
+- **Focused testing**: Run package-specific tests first, then broader validation when requested.
+- **Behavior parity**: Use the repository behavior suite for behavior parity validation when relevant.
+
+## Dependency Injection (DI) Pattern
+
+Dependency Injection is a required architectural pattern in Æther Go projects. Use the standards below directly:
+
+- **Interfaces as contracts**: Define interfaces to represent dependencies; place interfaces in the same package as consumers.
+- **Concrete structs**: Implement concrete types as structs that satisfy interfaces.
+- **Constructor functions**: Use `New<TypeName>` constructor functions to wire dependencies and validate inputs.
+- **No globals or singletons**: Accept dependencies as parameters; avoid hidden global state.
+- **Testing with DI**: Create concrete mock implementations of interfaces for testing; avoid reflection-based mocking.
+
+Example pattern:
+
+```go
+// Interface defines a contract.
+type UserRepository interface {
+	GetUser(ctx context.Context, id string) (*User, error)
+}
+
+// Concrete implementation satisfies the interface.
+type PostgresUserRepository struct {
+	db *sql.DB
+}
+
+func (r *PostgresUserRepository) GetUser(ctx context.Context, id string) (*User, error) {
+	// Implementation
+}
+
+// Constructor function injects dependencies.
+func NewPostgresUserRepository(db *sql.DB) (*PostgresUserRepository, error) {
+	if db == nil {
+		return nil, errors.New("database connection cannot be nil")
+	}
+	return &PostgresUserRepository{db: db}, nil
+}
+
+// Consumer type accepts interface dependency.
+type UserService struct {
+	repo UserRepository
+}
+
+func NewUserService(repo UserRepository) (*UserService, error) {
+	if repo == nil {
+		return nil, errors.New("UserRepository cannot be nil")
+	}
+	return &UserService{repo: repo}, nil
+}
+```
+
+Key rules:
+
+- Validate injected dependencies in constructors; return error if validation fails.
+- Keep interfaces minimal and focused on the consumer's contract (Interface Segregation Principle).
+- Organize packages by domain, not by layer (avoid `service`, `handler`, `repository` top-level packages).
+- Break circular dependencies using interfaces; define the interface in the consuming package.
+
+## Additional Go Conventions
+
+Beyond dependency injection, follow these Go-specific conventions:
+
+### Error Handling
+
+- Return errors as the last return value.
+- Use `errors.New()` or `fmt.Errorf()` for simple errors; use custom error types for complex cases.
+- Wrap errors with context using `fmt.Errorf("%w", err)` in Go 1.13+.
+- Do not log and return errors; let the caller decide how to handle.
+
+Example:
+
+```go
+func (s *UserService) GetUser(ctx context.Context, id string) (*User, error) {
+	if id == "" {
+		return nil, fmt.Errorf("GetUser: invalid user id")
+	}
+	user, err := s.repo.GetUser(ctx, id)
+	if err != nil {
+		return nil, fmt.Errorf("GetUser: %w", err)
+	}
+	return user, nil
+}
+```
+
+### Package Organization
+
+- Use domain-driven design principles; packages represent domain entities or use cases.
+- Keep package dependencies acyclic; use interfaces to break circular dependencies.
+- Place interfaces in consumer packages, not separate `interfaces` packages.
+- Consider a `cmd/` directory for application entry points and `internal/` for domain logic.
+
+Example structure:
+
+```
+myapp/
+  cmd/
+    myapp/
+      main.go                 # Dependency wiring
+  internal/
+    user/
+      user.go               # Domain model
+      service.go            # UserService and UserRepository interface
+      repository.go         # PostgresUserRepository
+    auth/
+      auth.go               # Domain model
+      service.go            # AuthService and AuthProvider interface
+```
+
+### Concurrency Patterns
+
+- Use goroutines and channels for concurrent work.
+- Prefer message passing (channels) over shared memory.
+- Use `context.Context` for cancellation and timeouts.
+- Protect shared state with mutexes only when channels are not practical.
+
+Example:
+
+```go
+func (s *UserService) ProcessUsers(ctx context.Context, ids []string) error {
+	workers := 5
+	jobs := make(chan string, len(ids))
+	errors := make(chan error, len(ids))
+
+	for i := 0; i < workers; i++ {
+		go func() {
+			for id := range jobs {
+				if err := s.processUser(ctx, id); err != nil {
+					errors <- err
+				}
+			}
+		}()
+	}
+
+	for _, id := range ids {
+		jobs <- id
+	}
+	close(jobs)
+
+	for i := 0; i < len(ids); i++ {
+		select {
+		case err := <-errors:
+			if err != nil {
+				return err
+			}
+		case <-ctx.Done():
+			return ctx.Err()
+		}
+	}
+	return nil
+}
+```
+
+### Code Organization and Naming
+
+- Use clear, descriptive names for types and functions.
+- Avoid `util`, `helper`, or `common` packages; prefer domain-specific package names.
+- Keep files focused; one struct per file is reasonable if the struct is substantial.
+- Use `context.Context` as the first parameter in functions that can block or make external calls.
+
+## Workflow and Release Standards
+
+When updating CI workflows or release logic:
+
+- Use the repository's standard Go setup (typically `actions/setup-go@v5` with pinned version and go.sum caching).
+- Keep workflow summary output using the summary-file pattern:
+  - Define `SUMMARY_FILE` environment variable per job.
+  - Append markdown output from steps to the summary file.
+  - Print the summary in a final `Summary` step with `if: ${{ always() }}` condition.
+- Badge URLs must use `https://{HOST}/{OWNER}/{REPO}/actions/workflows/{WORKFLOW_FILE}.yml/badge.svg{?CONTEXT_PARAMS}`.
+- Badge-link targets must use `https://{HOST}/{OWNER}/{REPO}/actions/runs/latest?workflow={WORKFLOW_FILE}.yml{&CONTEXT_PARAMS}`.
+- `CONTEXT_PARAMS` is optional; available params are `branch`, `event`, `style` for badge URLs and `branch`, `event` for badge-link targets. Prefer `branch` and `event` when filtering run context; if `style` is used, place it last.
+- Prefer latest-run pages for badge links for fast status triage.
+
+### Composite Actions and Release Orchestration
+
+Use `https://git.hrafn.xyz/aether/vociferate` as the default release-management tool when integrating Æther composite actions:
+
+- Pin all action references to released tags (for example `@v1.0.0`).
+- Keep all vociferate references on the same tag within a workflow.
+- In self-hosted runner environments (git.hrafn.xyz), use explicit `https://` action paths in `uses:` references and avoid shorthand owner/repo coordinates.
+- Use `prepare` action to update changelog/version and create release tags.
+- Use `publish` action to create/update release notes and assets from existing tags.
+- Do not mix alternate release actions unless a repository-local policy explicitly documents an override.
+- Use `coverage-badge` action after tests produce `coverage.out` for coverage artifact uploads.
+- For pre-conditions: checkout with full history (`fetch-depth: 0`), valid credentials, and required bucket variables/secrets.
+
+Minimal standalone release workflow example:
+
+```yaml
+name: release
+
+on:
+	push:
+		branches: [main]
+
+permissions:
+	contents: write
+
+jobs:
+	prepare:
+		runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+		steps:
+			- name: Checkout
+				uses: actions/checkout@v4
+				with:
+					fetch-depth: 0

+
+## Project Conventions
+
+- **Automation**: Prefer `justfile` for task automation; mirror core CI operations locally.
+- **Dependency management**: Use `go.mod` and `go.sum` for version tracking.
+- **Structure**: Keep code organized in logical packages; avoid deep nesting.
+
+## Security Standards
+
+Security standards (self-contained):
+
+- **gosec**: Run static security analysis for Go code.
+  - Command: `gosec ./...`
+  - Purpose: Detect common security issues (hard-coded secrets, SQL injection, weak crypto, etc.)
+  - Suppress: Use `#nosec` comments only with documented justification.
+
+- **govulncheck**: Check Go code and dependencies for known vulnerabilities.
+  - Command: `govulncheck ./...`
+  - Purpose: Detect vulnerabilities in direct and transitive dependencies.
+  - Address: Update vulnerable dependencies to patched versions.
+
+- **Dependency hygiene**: Keep `go.mod` and `go.sum` clean; run `go mod tidy` and `go mod verify` regularly.
+
+Integrate both tools into CI workflows; fail builds on high/critical findings.
+
+## Validation Sequence
+
+Execute validation in this order (unless repository policy specifies otherwise):
+
+1. Run focused package tests that directly cover the changed code.
+2. Run broader package or module test suites as needed.
+3. Run `gosec ./...` for security analysis.
+4. Run `govulncheck ./...` for vulnerability scanning.
+5. Run full project or behavior/integration suites when change scope or risk warrants it.
+6. Verify coverage gates per changed module/class (target 80%, low bound 65%, fail below 50%).
+
+## Safety and Scope
+
+- Do not revert unrelated local changes.
+- Avoid broad refactors outside the requested scope.
+- Keep implementation minimal and aimed only at passing the failing test.
+- Do not add code that the test does not exercise.
+
+## Disambiguation and Decision-Making
+
+If blocked by ambiguity:
+
+- Ask one concise clarifying question rather than guessing.
+- Proceed with the most reasonable interpretation based on context.
+- Document any assumption in a commit message or code comment if relevant.
+
+## Checklist: Feature or Bug-Fix Completion
+
+Before considering a task done:
+
+- ✓ A failing test existed before implementation (or skip-TDD was explicitly requested).
+- ✓ Implementation was minimal and aimed at passing the test only.
+- ✓ Refactoring happened only after tests were green.
+- ✓ Focused tests passed for all changed packages.
+- ✓ Broader validation was run when risk or scope justified it.
+- ✓ Coverage gates were evaluated per changed module/class (target 80%, low bound 65%, fail below 50%).
+- ✓ Behavioral parity expectations were preserved unless change was explicitly requested.
+- ✓ Security scanning passed: `gosec ./...` and `govulncheck ./...` without unacknowledged findings.
+- ✓ Dependency injection properly applied: dependencies injected via constructors, not globals; interfaces define contracts; concrete implementations satisfy interfaces.
+- ✓ Commits were created at checkpoints (red test, green implementation, changelog).
+- ✓ Changelog was updated with a separate docs-only commit.

+# Agent Integration Guide
+
+This guide is for agentic coding partners that need to integrate the composite actions published by this repository.
+
+## Source Of Truth
+
+Pin all action references to a released tag (for example `@v1.0.2`) and keep all vociferate references on the same tag in a workflow.
+
+Published composite actions:
+
+- `git.hrafn.xyz/aether/vociferate@v1.0.2` (root action)
+- `git.hrafn.xyz/aether/vociferate/prepare@v1.0.2`
+- `git.hrafn.xyz/aether/vociferate/publish@v1.0.2`
+- `git.hrafn.xyz/aether/vociferate/coverage-badge@v1.0.2`
+- `git.hrafn.xyz/aether/vociferate/decorate-pr@v1.0.2`
+
+## Action Selection Matrix
+
+Use this when deciding which action to call:
+
+- Choose `prepare` when you need to update changelog/version files, commit, and push a release tag.
+- Choose `publish` when a tag already exists and you need to create or update release notes/assets.
+- Choose `coverage-badge` after tests have produced `coverage.out` and you need coverage artefacts uploaded.
+- Choose `decorate-pr` to annotate pull requests with coverage information and unreleased changelog entries.
+- Choose root `vociferate` for direct recommend/prepare logic without commit/tag/push behavior.
+
+## Preconditions
+
+Apply these checks before invoking actions:
+
+- Checkout repository first.
+- For prepare/publish flows that depend on tags/history, use full history checkout (`fetch-depth: 0`).
+- Use valid credentials for release/comment API calls. On GitHub, `secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN` is used; on self-hosted Gitea, set `secrets.GITEA_TOKEN`.
+- `do-release` and `decorate-pr` now run preflight API checks and fail fast when token credentials are missing or insufficient.
+- Set required vars/secrets for coverage uploads:
+  - `vars.ARTEFACT_BUCKET_NAME`
+  - `vars.ARTEFACT_BUCKET_ENDPONT`
+  - `secrets.ARTEFACT_BUCKET_WRITE_ACCESS_KEY`
+  - `secrets.ARTEFACT_BUCKET_WRITE_ACCESS_SECRET`
+- For externally visible changelog links, set `vars.VOCIFERATE_REPOSITORY_URL` to the server/base URL only.
+
+## Changelog Format Guidance
+
+Agents should keep `CHANGELOG.md` in a Keep a Changelog compatible structure because vociferate derives versions and release notes from headings.
+
+Required conventions:
+
+- Keep the top-level heading as `# Changelog`.
+- Maintain an `## [Unreleased]` section.
+- Keep the standard subsections under `Unreleased` in this order:
+  - `### Breaking`
+  - `### Added`
+  - `### Changed`
+  - `### Removed`
+  - `### Fixed`
+- Record releases with headings like `## [1.2.3] - YYYY-MM-DD`.
+- Use bullet entries under subsections (for example `- Added new publish output`).
+- Preserve or regenerate bottom reference links (`[Unreleased]: ...`, `[1.2.3]: ...`) instead of mixing inline heading links.
+
+Semver behavior used by recommendation logic:
+
+- `Breaking` or `Removed` entries trigger a major bump.
+- `Added` entries trigger a minor bump.
+- Otherwise recommendation falls back to a patch bump.
+
+Minimal template:

+### Breaking
+
+### Added
+
+### Changed
+
+### Removed
+
+### Fixed
+```
+
+## Minimal Integration Patterns
+
+### 1. Prepare Then Publish
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  prepare:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+        with:
+          fetch-depth: 0
+      - id: prepare
+        uses: git.hrafn.xyz/aether/vociferate/prepare@v1.0.2
+
+  publish:
+    needs: prepare
+    uses: aether/vociferate/.gitea/workflows/do-release.yml@v1.0.2
+    with:
+      tag: ${{ needs.prepare.outputs.version }}
+    secrets: inherit
+```
+
+### 2. Publish Existing Tag
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  release:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+        with:
+          fetch-depth: 0
+      - id: publish
+        uses: git.hrafn.xyz/aether/vociferate/publish@v1.0.2
+        with:
+          version: v1.2.3
+```
+
+### 3. Coverage Badge Publication
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  coverage:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    env:
+      AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.ARTEFACT_BUCKET_WRITE_ACCESS_KEY }}
+      AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.ARTEFACT_BUCKET_WRITE_ACCESS_SECRET }}
+      AWS_DEFAULT_REGION: ${{ vars.ARTEFACT_BUCKET_REGION }}
+      AWS_EC2_METADATA_DISABLED: true
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - name: Run tests with coverage
+        run: go test -covermode=atomic -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
+      - id: badge
+        uses: git.hrafn.xyz/aether/vociferate/coverage-badge@v1.0.2
+        with:
+          artefact-bucket-name: ${{ vars.ARTEFACT_BUCKET_NAME }}
+          artefact-bucket-endpoint: ${{ vars.ARTEFACT_BUCKET_ENDPONT }}
+```
+
+### 4. Decorate Pull Request With Coverage and Changes
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  coverage:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'
+    env:
+      AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.ARTEFACT_BUCKET_WRITE_ACCESS_KEY }}
+      AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.ARTEFACT_BUCKET_WRITE_ACCESS_SECRET }}
+      AWS_DEFAULT_REGION: ${{ vars.ARTEFACT_BUCKET_REGION }}
+      AWS_EC2_METADATA_DISABLED: true
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - name: Run tests with coverage
+        run: go test -covermode=atomic -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
+      - id: badge
+        uses: git.hrafn.xyz/aether/vociferate/coverage-badge@v1.0.2
+        with:
+          artefact-bucket-name: ${{ vars.ARTEFACT_BUCKET_NAME }}
+          artefact-bucket-endpoint: ${{ vars.ARTEFACT_BUCKET_ENDPONT }}
+      - name: Decorate PR
+        uses: git.hrafn.xyz/aether/vociferate/decorate-pr@v1.0.2
+        with:
+          coverage-percentage: ${{ steps.badge.outputs.total }}
+          badge-url: ${{ steps.badge.outputs.badge-url }}
+```

+- `release-id`
+- `tag`
+- `version`
+
+### coverage-badge
+
+Required inputs:
+
+- `artefact-bucket-name`
+- `artefact-bucket-endpoint`
+
+Useful optional inputs:
+
+- `coverage-profile` (default `coverage.out`)
+- `summary-file` (append markdown summary)
+
+Primary outputs:
+
+- `total`
+- `report-url`
+- `badge-url`
+
+### decorate-pr
+
+Required inputs:
+
+- `coverage-percentage` (0-100, typically from coverage-badge action)
+- `badge-url` (SVG badge URL, typically from coverage-badge action)
+
+Useful optional inputs:
+
+- `changelog` (default `CHANGELOG.md`)
+- `comment-title` (default `Vociferate Review`)
+- `token` (defaults to workflow token)
+
+Primary outputs:
+

+- `comment-url`
+
+## Guardrails For Agents
+
+Use these rules to avoid common automation mistakes:
+
+- Do not mix action tags in one workflow update.
+- Do not assume a release workflow will run from a tag push in all environments; reusable workflow call paths are supported.
+- Do not treat `VOCIFERATE_REPOSITORY_URL` as a full repository URL; it must be a base URL.
+- Do not bypass preflight failures with broad retry loops; fix token scope/secret wiring first.
