+# Architecture Agent — Data-Driven Design Tooling
+
+**Version:** 0.1
+**Status:** 📋 Proposed
+**Last Updated:** February 22, 2026
+**Milestone:** M11 — Architecture Agent
+**Depends On:** [009-M4-mcp-integration](009-M4-mcp-integration.md)
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+Add a **conversational architecture agent** to AimDB's MCP server. A developer
+describes a system in natural language; the agent reasons over it using AimDB's
+buffer semantics; a running instance is derived as a direct consequence — with no
+manual graph editing, no boilerplate, and no configuration the user has to set up
+themselves.
+
+The Mermaid diagram, the DSL, and the running instance are all **outputs** of
+a conversation — not inputs to one.
+
+**Core principle:** The graph is a **projection** — a read-only artifact that
+reflects what was decided in conversation. The agent is the only thing that
+writes to it.
+
+---
+
+## Motivation
+
+Setting up an AimDB instance today requires writing Rust: defining `RecordKey`
+enums, choosing buffer types, wiring connectors, configuring producers and
+consumers. This is correct for production code, but it creates a barrier during
+the ideation phase — the point where a developer is still figuring out *what*
+the data architecture should be.
+
+The architecture agent removes that barrier. It lets a developer think in terms
+of data flows ("I have 50 sensors reporting temperature every 100ms, a dashboard
+shows live readings, anomalies trigger alerts") and have the agent resolve those
+flows into concrete AimDB primitives. The developer confirms each decision; the
+agent emits the code.
+
+---
+
+## Core Principles
+
+**Ideation first.** No user should ever touch a graph editor. The Mermaid
+diagram, the DSL, and the running instance are all outputs of a conversation —
+not inputs to one.
+
+**Skills travel with the server.** Architecture agent capabilities are served by
+the AimDB MCP server, not configured by the user. Connecting to the server is
+the entire setup.
+
+**The graph is a projection.** Mermaid is a read-only rendering of structured
+agent state. It is useful for inspection and communication, never for authoring.
+
+**Proposals, not silent commits.** Every record addition, buffer type choice, and
+connector assignment is a proposal the human explicitly confirms. The graph is a
+record of human intent, not agent inference.
+
+**Ambiguity is resolved by questions, not assumptions.** When intent maps to
+multiple valid architectures, the agent asks exactly the right question to
+resolve it — grounded in AimDB's buffer semantics, not generic clarification.
+
+---
+

+              ^---------------------------'
+[ Agent surfaces conflicts and metrics inline ]
+```
+
+Every layer derives from the one above it. The human only ever interacts with
+the top layer.
+
+The **codegen library** (`aimdb-codegen`) is a pure Rust crate with no runtime
+dependencies. It reads `state.toml` and emits Mermaid and Rust source files.
+Both the CLI and the MCP server consume it — the CLI for standalone use
+(`cargo watch`, CI, manual invocation) and the MCP server for inline generation
+when a proposal is confirmed.
+
+---
+
+## Data Model Primitives
+
+AimDB's three buffer types are the semantic vocabulary the agent reasons in.
+Every architectural question resolves to one of these. These map directly to
+`BufferCfg` in `aimdb-core/src/buffer/cfg.rs`.
+
+| Buffer | `BufferCfg` variant | Pattern | When the agent chooses it |
+|--------|-------------------|---------|--------------------------|
+| **SpmcRing** | `SpmcRing { capacity }` | High-frequency stream, multiple independent consumers | Telemetry, interaction events, logs — data where every value matters and multiple systems read independently |
+| **SingleLatest** | `SingleLatest` | Current state, newest value only | Configuration, experiment variants, UI state — data where only the present value is relevant |
+| **Mailbox** | `Mailbox` | Command channel, latest wins, single slot | Device control, OTA commands, actuation — data where the latest instruction supersedes all prior ones |
+
+These are not IoT-specific. They are universal primitives that underlie all
+data-driven systems.
+
+---
+
+## Tooling Components
+
+### 1. AimDB MCP Server — Extended
+
+The existing MCP server (`tools/aimdb-mcp`) currently exposes 10 tools, a
+dynamic set of resources (one static `aimdb://instances` plus per-instance
+record resources), and 2 prompts for runtime introspection. The architecture agent
+extends it with design-time capabilities.
+
+#### New Tools
+
+Agent-callable functions for reading and mutating the architecture state.
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `get_architecture` | Current architecture graph as structured data from `state.toml` |
+| `propose_change` | Add a record, modify a buffer type, add a connector — any mutation is a proposal pending human confirmation |
+| `resolve_proposal` | Human acceptance (`confirm`), rejection (`reject`), or redirect (`revise`) — a single tool with an explicit status enum, not separate confirm/reject tools |
+| `remove_record` | Propose removal of an existing record (cascades through Mermaid and codegen) |
+| `rename_record` | Propose renaming a record (updates all references in `state.toml`, Mermaid, and codegen) |
+| `validate_against_instance` | Check proposed `state.toml` against live instance via AimX |
+| `get_buffer_metrics` | Live metrics for a given record key (delegates to existing `record_info` tool) |
+
+**Why `resolve_proposal` instead of `confirm_proposal` / `reject_proposal`:**
+A single tool with an explicit status enum (`confirm | reject | revise`)
+prevents the agent from having to decide which tool to call based on parsing
+ambiguous chat text like "sure, but...". The status is always unambiguous.
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
+pub struct ResolveProposalParams {
+    pub proposal_id: String,
+    pub resolution: ProposalResolution,
+    /// Optional redirect message when resolution is `revise`
+    pub redirect: Option<String>,
+}
+
+#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
+#[serde(rename_all = "snake_case")]
+pub enum ProposalResolution {
+    Confirm,
+    Reject,
+    Revise,
+}
+```
+
+#### New Resources
+
+| URI | Description |
+|-----|-------------|
+| `aimdb://architecture` | Current architecture as Mermaid (generated from `state.toml`) |
+| `aimdb://architecture/state` | Raw `state.toml` as structured data |
+| `aimdb://architecture/conflicts` | Schema conflicts between `state.toml` and running instance |
+| `aimdb://architecture/decisions` | Decision rationale log from `state.toml` |
+
+These complement the existing resources (`discover`, `connections`,
+`records/{socket}`, etc.) — they do not replace them.
+
+#### New Prompts
+
+| Prompt | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `architecture_agent` | Full system prompt encoding AimDB design skills: buffer type semantics, question patterns, proposal format, confirmation protocol. Versioned alongside AimDB. |
+| `resolve_buffer_type` | Disambiguation question patterns organised by data shape. Used by the agent to ask exactly the right question when intent is ambiguous. |
+| `propose_record` | Structured template for record proposals. Ensures consistent format the human can quickly scan. |
+| `breaking_change_review` | Safety protocol for schema evolution — what to check when a buffer type change or record removal could break the running instance. |
+| `onboarding` | Guided first architecture session — walks the user through describing their system. |
+
+The `architecture_agent` prompt is the core artifact. It encodes everything the
+agent needs to reason about AimDB architectures. It is served by the MCP server
+— when it improves, all connected users benefit without any local configuration
+change.
+
+---
+
+### 2. Architecture Agent — Behaviour Spec
+
+#### Startup
+
+On session start, the agent:
+
+1. Reads `aimdb://architecture/state` to load existing decisions
+2. Reads `aimdb://architecture` to understand the current topology
+3. Reads `aimdb://architecture/conflicts` to surface any drift between state
+   and running instance
+4. Briefly summarises the current architecture if one exists, or asks where to
+   begin if not
+
+#### Ideation Loop
+
+```
+Human describes intent (any form, any specificity)
+    |
+Agent identifies ambiguities that affect buffer type or topology
+    |
+Agent asks one targeted question (never multiple at once)
+    |
+Human responds
+    |
+Agent proposes a concrete record or topology change via propose_change
+    |
+Human confirms, rejects, or redirects via resolve_proposal
+    |
+On confirmation: agent updates state.toml, Mermaid regenerates, codegen emits
+```
+
+#### Ambiguity Resolution Patterns
+
+The agent has a specific question for each common ambiguity. These questions are
+not generic — each one resolves directly to a buffer type, topology, or data
+model decision.
+
+| Ambiguity | Agent asks | Resolves to |
+|-----------|-----------|-------------|
+| Read frequency unclear | "Does the consumer need every value, or just the latest at any given moment?" | `SpmcRing` vs `SingleLatest` |
+| Consumer count unclear | "Is there one consumer for this data, or multiple independent ones?" | Topology (fan-out) |
+| Direction unclear | "Does this flow from device to cloud, cloud to device, or both?" | `link_to` vs `link_from` |
+| Cardinality unclear | "Is this one record shared across all devices, or one per device? Which specific devices?" | Concrete `key_variants` list |
+| Buffering depth unclear | "If two values arrive before the consumer processes them, should the consumer see both, or only the latest?" | `SpmcRing` (both) vs `SingleLatest` / `Mailbox` (latest only) |
+| Command vs state unclear | "Is this data passive state the consumer reads on demand, or an actionable command the consumer must process?" | `SingleLatest` (state) vs `Mailbox` (command) |
+| Data model unclear | "Do you have a datasheet, API spec, or protocol doc I can look at for the field definitions?" | Value struct fields and types |
+
+#### Data Model Derivation
+
+The agent doesn't guess value types — it derives them from source material the
+user provides:
+
+- **Datasheets** — e.g. "SHT31 sensor" -> agent extracts calibrated temperature
+  (f64 Celsius), humidity (f64 percent), reads the register map to understand
+  which fields are meaningful at the application level
+- **API documentation** — e.g. "firmware update REST API" -> agent extracts the
+  response schema fields (version, checksum, release date)
+- **Protocol specs** — e.g. "KNX DPT 9.001" -> agent maps the data point type
+  to a Rust field type
+- **Conversation** — when no formal spec exists, the agent asks targeted
+  questions: "What fields does this reading contain? What units?"
+
+The agent proposes the struct fields as part of the record proposal. The human
+confirms the data model alongside the buffer type and topology.
+
+#### Proposal Format
+
+Every proposal follows a consistent structure the human can quickly scan:
+
+```
+Proposing: TemperatureReading
+
+  Buffer:   SpmcRing(256)
+  Reason:   Anomaly detector needs a sample window;
+            dashboard consumes independently
+
+  Value struct (derived from SHT31 datasheet):
+    celsius:          f64    — Temperature in degrees Celsius
+    humidity_percent: f64    — Relative humidity 0-100
+    timestamp:        u64    — Unix timestamp in milliseconds
+
+  Key prefix: "sensors.temp."
+  Variants:   indoor, outdoor, garage
+
+  Connector: mqtt link_to "mqtt://sensors/temp/{variant}"
+
+  Produces: sensor_task
+  Consumes: dashboard, anomaly_detector
+
+Add this record? [confirm / reject / revise]
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3. Structured Decision State
+
+The agent maintains a structured state file at `.aimdb/state.toml`. This is the
+memory layer — it persists across sessions and is the source of truth for both
+the Mermaid projection and the Rust codegen.
+
+#### Schema
+
+```toml
+# .aimdb/state.toml
+
+[meta]
+aimdb_version = "0.5.0"
+created_at = "2026-02-22T14:00:00Z"

+
+  [[records.connectors]]

+  direction = "inbound"

+
+# --- Decision Log ---
+
+[[decisions]]
+record = "TemperatureReading"
+field = "buffer"
+chosen = "SpmcRing"
+alternative = "SingleLatest"
+reason = "Anomaly detector needs a sample window; dashboard consumes independently"
+timestamp = "2026-02-22T14:20:00Z"
+
+[[decisions]]
+record = "FirmwareVersion"
+field = "buffer"

+alternative = "Mailbox"
+reason = "Target version is state, not a command — only current target matters, not history of assignments"

+field = "fields"
+chosen = "celsius + humidity_percent + timestamp"
+alternative = "raw ADC value"
+reason = "User provided SHT31 datasheet — sensor outputs calibrated temperature and humidity, not raw ADC"
+timestamp = "2026-02-22T14:15:00Z"
+```
+
+**Key design choice: all key variants are concrete and resolved by the agent.**
+
+There is no `key_strategy` distinction. The agent's job during ideation is to
+resolve the full set of variants — whether that's three rooms, fifty sensors,
+or three devices. "One per device" is not a codegen concern; it is a
+conversation the agent has with the human: "Which devices? What are their IDs?"
+
+If the user says "one per device" without listing them, the agent asks: "Which
+devices should I include? I need the concrete IDs for code generation." The
+agent may also derive device lists from a fleet manifest, config file, or API
+response the user provides.
+
+**The `fields` table defines the value struct.** The agent derives this from
+datasheets, API documentation, protocol specs, or conversation. Each record has
+a typed struct — codegen generates the Rust `struct` with `Serialize` /
+`Deserialize` derives. The agent decides which fields to include and what types
+to use based on the source material.
+
+**The `decisions` table** is the architectural rationale layer. The agent writes
+to it on every confirmed proposal — including field-level decisions like "used
+calibrated Celsius from the SHT31 datasheet rather than raw ADC values." It is
+human-readable, diffable, and queryable by the agent to avoid re-litigating
+settled decisions.
+
+---
+
+### 4. Mermaid Projection
+
+The Mermaid file is generated, never authored. It lives at
+`.aimdb/architecture.mermaid` and is regenerated by the codegen step on every
+confirmed decision.
+
+#### Conventions
+
+Node shapes encode buffer type. Arrow styles encode data flow vs connector
+metadata.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+
+  %% Node shapes encode buffer type
+  %% (["Name\nSpmcRing . capacity"]) = ring buffer (stadium)
+  %% ("Name\nSingleLatest")          = state (rounded rect)
+  %% {"Name\nMailbox"}               = command (diamond)
+
+  TEMP(["TemperatureReading\nSpmcRing . 256"])
+  FW_VER("FirmwareVersion\nSingleLatest")
+  OTA_CMD{"OtaCommand\nMailbox"}
+
+  %% Solid arrows = data flow (produce/consume)
+  sensor_task -->|produce| TEMP
+  TEMP -->|consume| dashboard
+  TEMP -->|consume| anomaly_detector
+
+  cloud_ota_service -->|produce| FW_VER
+  cloud_ota_service -->|produce| OTA_CMD
+  FW_VER -->|consume| device_update_task
+  OTA_CMD -->|consume| device_update_task
+
+  %% Dashed arrows = connector metadata (link_to / link_from)
+  TEMP -.->|"link_to mqtt://sensors/temp/{variant}"| MQTT
+  MQTT -.->|"link_from mqtt://config/firmware/{variant}"| FW_VER
+  MQTT -.->|"link_from mqtt://ota/cmd/{variant}"| OTA_CMD
+```
+
+These conventions are defined in `.aimdb/CONVENTIONS.md` and referenced by the
+`architecture_agent` prompt.
+
+#### Properties
+
+- Renders natively in GitHub markdown — no plugin, no server
+- Read-only — never edited by the human
+- Diffable — git history of `.aimdb/architecture.mermaid` is the history of
+  architectural decisions
+- Derivable — can always be regenerated from `state.toml`
+
+---
+
+### 5. Codegen Pipeline
+
+#### Crate Structure
+
+Codegen lives in a shared library crate (`aimdb-codegen`) consumed by both the
+CLI and the MCP server:
+
+```
+aimdb/
+  aimdb-codegen/                    # New crate: pure codegen library
+    src/
+      lib.rs                        # Public API: generate_mermaid(), generate_rust()
+      state.rs                      # state.toml parser and schema types
+      mermaid.rs                    # state.toml -> Mermaid renderer
+      rust.rs                       # state.toml -> Rust source renderer
+  tools/
+    aimdb-cli/                      # Existing CLI — gains `aimdb generate` subcommand
+      src/commands/generate.rs      # New: invokes aimdb-codegen library
+    aimdb-mcp/                      # Existing MCP server — calls aimdb-codegen on confirm
+```
+
+**`aimdb-codegen` has no runtime dependencies.** It reads `state.toml` (via
+`toml` + `serde`) and emits strings. No AimX connection, no async, no tokio.
+This keeps it fast and testable.
+
+**Two consumers:**
+
+- **`aimdb generate`** (CLI) — The primary interface for developers and CI.
+  Can be wired into `cargo watch -s "aimdb generate"`. Also usable standalone
+  for one-shot generation, dry-run validation, or pre-commit hooks.
+- **`aimdb-mcp`** (MCP server) — Calls `aimdb_codegen::generate_mermaid()` and
+  `aimdb_codegen::generate_rust()` directly (library call, no subprocess) when
+  `resolve_proposal` confirms a change. The MCP server writes the files and
+  reports the result inline.
+
+#### CLI Integration
+
+The `aimdb generate` subcommand extends the existing CLI alongside `instance`,
+`record`, `graph`, and `watch`:
+
+```
+aimdb generate [OPTIONS]
+
+Options:
+  --state <PATH>    Path to state.toml [default: .aimdb/state.toml]
+  --mermaid <PATH>  Output path for Mermaid [default: .aimdb/architecture.mermaid]
+  --rust <PATH>     Output path for Rust [default: src/generated_schema.rs]
+  --check           Validate state.toml without writing files (for CI)
+  --dry-run         Print generated output to stdout instead of writing files
+```
+
+`cargo watch` integration:
+
+```bash
+cargo watch -s "aimdb generate && cargo check"
+```
+
+#### Emit Targets
+
+Two emit targets from `state.toml`:
+
+**Mermaid** — written to `.aimdb/architecture.mermaid`
+
+**AimDB Rust** — written to `src/generated_schema.rs`
+
+The generated code uses the **actual AimDB API** — `#[derive(RecordKey)]` with
+`#[key = "..."]`, `#[key_prefix = "..."]`, and `#[link_address = "..."]`
+attributes; `AimDbBuilder` with `.configure()`, `BufferCfg`, `.link_to()`, and
+`.link_from()`:
+
+```rust
+// Generated by aimdb-codegen — do not edit manually
+// Source: .aimdb/state.toml — edit via architecture agent
+
+use aimdb_core::buffer::BufferCfg;
+use aimdb_derive::RecordKey;
+use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
+
+// --- TemperatureReading ---
+// Buffer: SpmcRing(256)
+// Decision: "Anomaly detector needs a sample window;
+//            dashboard consumes independently"
+// Fields derived from: SHT31 datasheet
+
+/// Temperature and humidity reading from SHT31 sensor.
+#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
+pub struct TemperatureReadingValue {
+    /// Temperature in degrees Celsius
+    pub celsius: f64,
+    /// Relative humidity 0-100
+    pub humidity_percent: f64,
+    /// Unix timestamp in milliseconds
+    pub timestamp: u64,
+}
+
+#[derive(RecordKey, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq)]
+#[key_prefix = "sensors.temp."]
+pub enum TemperatureReadingKey {
+    #[key = "indoor"]
+    #[link_address = "mqtt://sensors/temp/indoor"]
+    Indoor,
+
+    #[key = "outdoor"]
+    #[link_address = "mqtt://sensors/temp/outdoor"]
+    Outdoor,
+
+    #[key = "garage"]
+    #[link_address = "mqtt://sensors/temp/garage"]
+    Garage,
+}
+
+// --- FirmwareVersion ---
+// Buffer: SingleLatest
+// Decision: "Target version is state, not a command —
+//            only current target matters"
+
+/// Firmware version state for a device.
+#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
+pub struct FirmwareVersionValue {

+A separate `configure_schema` function wires the records into an `AimDbBuilder`:

+```rust
+use aimdb_core::builder::AimDbBuilder;
+use aimdb_core::buffer::BufferCfg;
+use aimdb_executor::Spawn;
+
+/// Register all architecture-agent-defined records on the builder.
+///
+/// This function is generated from .aimdb/state.toml. It configures
+/// buffer types and connectors. Producers and consumers (source/tap

+) {

+    for key in [

+    }
+}

+
+**What codegen generates per record:**
+
+1. A **value struct** (`TemperatureReadingValue`) with `Serialize` /
+   `Deserialize` derives — fields and types come from `records.fields` in
+   `state.toml`
+2. A **key enum** (`TemperatureReadingKey`) with `#[derive(RecordKey)]` — one
+   variant per entry in `key_variants`
+3. A **registration block** in `configure_schema` — wires buffer type,
+   connectors, and the correct value type `T`
+
+**What codegen does NOT generate:** Producer closures (`source`/`source_raw`),
+consumer closures (`tap`/`tap_raw`), serializers, deserializers, and transform
+pipelines. These contain business logic that belongs in application code. The
+generated `configure_schema` provides the skeleton; the developer fills in the
+behaviour.
+
+`cargo watch` picks up the change. The running instance updates. The AimDB MCP
+server reflects the new state. The agent reads it back and surfaces any
+conflicts inline.
+
+---
+
+### 6. Conflict Detection
+
+The `aimdb://architecture/conflicts` resource compares `state.toml` against the
+running instance (via AimX `record.list`). Conflicts are categorised:
+
+| Conflict type | Description | Severity |
+|---------------|-------------|----------|
+| **missing_in_instance** | Record exists in `state.toml` but not in running instance | Warning — codegen may not have run yet |
+| **missing_in_state** | Record exists in running instance but not in `state.toml` | Info — manually registered record, not agent-managed |
+| **buffer_mismatch** | `state.toml` says `SpmcRing` but instance reports `single_latest` | Error — likely a stale build |
+| **capacity_mismatch** | `state.toml` says capacity 256 but instance reports 1024 | Warning — may be intentional override |
+| **connector_mismatch** | Connector URL in `state.toml` doesn't match instance metadata | Warning |
+
+The agent surfaces conflicts on startup and before confirming any proposal that
+touches an affected record. It does **not** attempt automatic remediation —
+conflicts are reported inline and the human decides what to do.
+
+---
+
+### 7. Record Deletion and Renaming
+
+The ideation loop covers adding records and changing buffer types. It must also
+handle removal and renaming.
+
+#### Deletion
+
+When the user says "remove TemperatureReading":
+
+1. Agent proposes deletion via `remove_record` tool
+2. Proposal includes: affected consumers, affected connectors, and a warning if
+   the record exists in the running instance
+3. On confirmation: record is removed from `state.toml`, Mermaid regenerates,
+   `src/generated_schema.rs` regenerates (the enum and its `configure_schema`
+   block are removed)
+4. **Application code that references the deleted type will fail to compile.**
+   This is intentional — the compiler catches dangling references. The agent
+   notes this in the proposal.
+
+#### Renaming
+
+When the user says "rename TemperatureReading to SensorReading":
+
+1. Agent proposes rename via `rename_record` tool
+2. On confirmation: all references in `state.toml` are updated (including in
+   `decisions` entries), Mermaid regenerates, codegen regenerates with new
+   enum name
+3. **Application code that references the old type will fail to compile.**
+   Same rationale as deletion — the compiler is the migration tool.
+
+Both operations add a `decisions` entry recording what was removed/renamed and
+why.
+
+---
+
+### 8. VS Code Integration
+
+The VS Code surface is thin by design. It does not add a graph editor. It does
+not add a canvas. It adds three things:
+
+**Status bar indicator** — shows whether the running instance is in sync with
+`state.toml`. Green = in sync. Orange = codegen pending. Red = schema conflict
+detected. This is a minimal VS Code extension that reads
+`aimdb://architecture/conflicts` on a timer.
+
+**Mermaid preview** — VS Code's built-in Mermaid support (or the Markdown
+Preview Mermaid extension) renders `.aimdb/architecture.mermaid` automatically.
+No custom panel needed.
+
+**MCP connection** — the user adds one entry to their VS Code MCP config:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "aimdb": {
+      "command": "aimdb-mcp",
+      "args": ["--connect", "localhost:7777"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Everything else — the agent skills, the prompt, the tools, the resources —
+arrives from the server. The user configuration is one JSON block. That is the
+entire setup.
+
+---
+
+## User Experience
+
+### First Session
+
+```
+User connects MCP server -> Copilot loads architecture_agent prompt
+
+Agent: No architecture found. Tell me about the system you're building —
+       what data exists, where it comes from, and where it needs to go.
+
+User: I have 3 SHT31 sensors (indoor, outdoor, garage) reporting every 100ms.
+      A dashboard shows live readings. Anomalies trigger cloud alerts.
+
+Agent: I know the SHT31 — it outputs calibrated temperature and relative
+       humidity. One question:
+       Does the dashboard need every reading, or just the current
+       value per sensor?
+
+User: Just the current value is fine.
+
+Agent: Proposing: TemperatureReading
+
+         Buffer:   SingleLatest
+         Reason:   Dashboard reads current value only — no
+                   need to buffer historical samples
+
+         Value struct (from SHT31 datasheet):
+           celsius:          f64  — Temperature in degrees Celsius
+           humidity_percent: f64  — Relative humidity 0-100
+           timestamp:        u64  — Unix timestamp in milliseconds
+
+         Key prefix: "sensors.temp."
+         Variants:   indoor, outdoor, garage
+
+         Connector:  mqtt link_to "mqtt://sensors/temp/{variant}"
+         Consumers:  dashboard, anomaly_detector
+
+       Add this record? [confirm / reject / revise]
+
+User: Yes, but I think we might need history for the anomaly detection.
+
+Agent: Good catch. If anomaly detection needs a window of readings
+       rather than just the latest, SpmcRing is the right choice —
+       it buffers the last N values for independent consumption.
+
+       Revised proposal: TemperatureReading
+
+         Buffer:   SpmcRing(256)
+         Reason:   Anomaly detector needs a sample window;
+                   dashboard consumes independently
+
+       Value struct and key variants unchanged. This means the dashboard
+       will always have the latest reading as well.
+
+       Add this record? [confirm / reject / revise]
+
+User: Yes.
+
+-> state.toml updated (record + fields + decision log)
+-> .aimdb/architecture.mermaid regenerated
+-> src/generated_schema.rs regenerated
+     (TemperatureReadingValue struct + TemperatureReadingKey enum
+      + configure_schema block)
+-> cargo watch triggers rebuild
+-> Running instance reflects new record
+-> MCP metrics endpoint live for TemperatureReading
+```
+
+### Ongoing Sessions
+
+The agent loads prior state on startup. Existing decisions are not re-litigated
+unless the human explicitly revisits them. The `decisions` table gives the agent
+the rationale for prior choices, so it can explain them and reason about whether
+a new requirement changes them.
+
+---
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Phase 1 — Prompt Engineering (no code required)
+
+Define the agent's reasoning capabilities as MCP prompts. Validate through
+manual ideation sessions before building any infrastructure.
+
+| Task | Output |
+|------|--------|
+| Define `.aimdb/CONVENTIONS.md` — Mermaid node shapes and arrow types | Static file |
+| Write `architecture_agent` system prompt | MCP prompt |
+| Write `resolve_buffer_type` disambiguation question patterns | MCP prompt |
+| Write `propose_record` proposal template | MCP prompt |
+| Write `breaking_change_review` safety protocol | MCP prompt |
+| Write `onboarding` guided session prompt | MCP prompt |
+| **Validate**: run ideation sessions manually using Claude or Copilot with the prompts as context. Identify gaps before building anything. | Session transcripts |
+
+**Exit criteria:** Three end-to-end ideation sessions produce correct buffer
+type selections and Mermaid output without the agent making incorrect
+assumptions.
+
+### Phase 2 — `aimdb-codegen` Library
+
+Create the shared codegen crate. This is a pure library with no async or
+runtime dependencies — just `toml`, `serde`, and string formatting.
+
+| Task | Scope |
+|------|-------|
+| Create `aimdb-codegen` crate with `state.toml` parser (`state.rs`) | Schema types + TOML deserialization (including `records.fields`) |
+| Implement `generate_mermaid(state: &ArchitectureState) -> String` | ~150 lines |
+| Implement `generate_rust(state: &ArchitectureState) -> String` | ~400 lines (value structs + key enums + `configure_schema`) |
+| Add `validate(state: &ArchitectureState) -> Vec<ValidationError>` | Key uniqueness, field type validity, buffer config, connector URLs |
+| Integration test: generated Rust compiles against `aimdb-core` 0.5.0 API | Compile-time test |
+
+The codegen generates three things per record: a **value struct** (from
+`records.fields`) with `Serialize` / `Deserialize` derives, a **key enum**
+(from `key_variants`) using `#[derive(RecordKey)]` with `#[key = "..."]`,
+`#[key_prefix = "..."]`, and `#[link_address = "..."]` attributes, and a
+**registration block** in `configure_schema` using `AimDbBuilder::configure()`
+with the correct `BufferCfg`, `link_to()`, and `link_from()`.
+
+**Supported field types in `records.fields`:** `f64`, `f32`, `u8`, `u16`,
+`u32`, `u64`, `i8`, `i16`, `i32`, `i64`, `bool`, `String`. The agent maps
+source material (datasheet registers, API response fields, protocol data point
+types) to these Rust primitives.
+
+**Key validation:** The generated `RecordKey` enums must pass the derive macro's
+compile-time checks — unit variants only, all variants have `#[key = "..."]`,
+no duplicate keys.
+
+### Phase 3 — CLI `generate` Subcommand
+
+Add `aimdb generate` to the existing CLI. This is the primary developer-facing
+interface for codegen.
+
+| Task | Scope |
+|------|-------|
+| Add `aimdb-codegen` dependency to `aimdb-cli/Cargo.toml` | Dependency |
+| Implement `commands/generate.rs` — read `state.toml`, call codegen, write files | ~80 lines |
+| Add `--check` mode for CI validation (exit 1 if files would change) | Flag |
+| Add `--dry-run` mode (print to stdout) | Flag |
+| Document `cargo watch -s "aimdb generate && cargo check"` pattern | README |
+
+This phase can ship independently of the MCP server extension — developers
+get value from `aimdb generate` even without the architecture agent.
+
+### Phase 4 — MCP Server Extension
+
+| Task | Scope |
+|------|-------|
+| Add `aimdb-codegen` dependency to `aimdb-mcp/Cargo.toml` | Dependency |
+| Add `propose_change`, `resolve_proposal`, `remove_record`, `rename_record` tools | `tools/aimdb-mcp/src/tools/architecture.rs` |
+| Wire `resolve_proposal` confirm path to call `aimdb_codegen::generate_*()` | Library call (no subprocess) |
+| Add `validate_against_instance` tool using existing AimX `record.list` | `tools/aimdb-mcp/src/tools/architecture.rs` |
+| Add `aimdb://architecture/*` resources | `tools/aimdb-mcp/src/resources/architecture.rs` |
+| Add all 5 new prompts to MCP prompts manifest | `tools/aimdb-mcp/src/prompts/` |
+| Implement conflict detection (compare `state.toml` vs AimX `record.list`) | `tools/aimdb-mcp/src/architecture/conflicts.rs` |
+
+### Phase 5 — VS Code Polish
+
+| Task | Scope |
+|------|-------|
+| Status bar extension (sync indicator: green/orange/red) | Minimal VS Code extension |
+| Confirm Mermaid preview works via existing VS Code extensions | Documentation |
+| Document the single MCP config block as the complete setup step | README update |
+
+---
+
+## Resolved Decisions
+
+1. **State file location** — **`.aimdb/state.toml`**. The hidden directory keeps
+   the repo root clean. Discoverability is addressed by documenting the path in
+   the README and surfacing it in agent startup messages.
+
+2. **Confirmation UX** — **Inline chat confirmation via `resolve_proposal`
+   tool.** A single tool with a `confirm | reject | revise` status enum. Keeps
+   the entire ideation flow in one surface with no UI context switches. A VS
+   Code quick-pick was considered but adds no value for this pattern.
+
+3. **Breaking change handling** — **Warn, do not block, do not propose
+   migrations automatically.** When a proposed change is incompatible with the
+   running instance, the agent surfaces the conflict inline and halts the
+   proposal. Migration paths are only explored if the user explicitly asks.
+
+4. **Multi-instance support** — **Single instance only.** The MCP server
+   connects to exactly one running AimDB instance. Fleet and per-device keying
+   patterns are out of scope for this version.
+
+5. **Prompt injection strategy** — **Slash command ships first.** The
+   `architecture_agent` prompt is loaded explicitly (e.g. via `/aimdb`).
+   Automatic injection on session start via MCP Prompts is deferred until VS
+   Code Copilot's support for that pattern matures.
+
+6. **All key variants are concrete** — There is no `key_strategy` distinction.
+   The agent resolves the full set of concrete variants during conversation.
+   "One per device" is not a codegen abstraction — it is a question the agent
+   asks: "Which devices? What are their IDs?" The agent may derive device
+   lists from fleet manifests, config files, or API responses. Codegen always
+   receives a flat list of string variants and generates one enum variant per
+   entry.
+
+7. **Record deletion/renaming** — **Supported. Compiler catches dangling
+   references.** When a record is removed or renamed, the generated code
+   changes. Application code that references the old type fails to compile.
+   The agent notes this in the proposal. No automatic migration of application
+   code.
+
+8. **Codegen language and location** — **Rust, in a shared `aimdb-codegen`
+   crate.** Keeps the toolchain unified, enables both `aimdb generate` (CLI)
+   and MCP server to use the same library. The CLI already depends on
+   `aimdb-core` and `aimdb-client`, so adding a codegen crate is consistent
+   with the existing workspace structure. Phase 3 (CLI) can ship independently
+   of Phase 4 (MCP), giving developers value earlier.
+
+9. **Value types are agent-defined structs** — The agent derives the value
+   struct from source material: datasheets, API docs, protocol specs, or
+   conversation. `state.toml` stores the full field list (`records.fields`)
+   with name, Rust type, and description. Codegen generates a Rust struct with
+   `Serialize` / `Deserialize` derives and uses it as the `T` in
+   `builder.configure::<T>()`. No placeholder types, no generic parameters —
+   the struct is fully specified.
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+The tooling is working when:
+
+- A developer can describe a multi-record system in plain language and have a
+  compiling, correctly-typed AimDB schema in under 10 minutes
+- The `.aimdb/architecture.mermaid` file accurately reflects every architectural
+  decision with no manual maintenance
+- A new team member can understand the system's data architecture by reading the
+  Mermaid graph and the `decisions` table, without reading any application code
+- Changing a buffer type or adding a connector is a one-sentence conversation,
+  not a code change
+- Generated code compiles against the actual `aimdb-core` 0.5.0 API without
+  modification
+
+---

Subject: [PATCH 04/46] feat: add Rust source code generator for AimDB
 architecture state

- Implemented `generate_rust` function to convert `ArchitectureState` into Rust source code.
- Added support for generating value structs and key enums for records.
- Introduced `configure_schema` function to register records with `AimDbBuilder`.
- Created utility functions for handling imports, field definitions, and key variants.
- Added tests to validate generated output against expected structures.

feat: define architecture state types and TOML parser

- Created `ArchitectureState`, `RecordDef`, and related structs to represent the state.
- Implemented TOML parsing and serialization for architecture state.
- Added support for metadata, buffer types, fields, and connectors.
- Included tests to ensure correct parsing and serialization of TOML data.

feat: implement architecture state validation

- Added `validate` function to check for structural and semantic errors in `ArchitectureState`.
- Defined `ValidationError` and `Severity` types for error reporting.
- Implemented checks for record names, field types, connector definitions, and more.
- Included tests to verify validation logic and error handling.

+//! AimDB Codegen — architecture state to Mermaid and Rust source
+//!
+//! This library reads `.aimdb/state.toml` (the architecture agent's decision
+//! record) and emits two artefacts:
+//!
+//! - **Mermaid diagram** — `.aimdb/architecture.mermaid`, a read-only graph
+//!   projection of the architecture (see [`generate_mermaid`])
+//! - **Rust source** — `src/generated_schema.rs`, compilable AimDB schema
+//!   using the actual 0.5.x API (see [`generate_rust`])
+//!
+//! # Usage

+//! ```rust

Subject: [PATCH 05/46] feat: add architecture agent tools for session
 management and record proposals

- Implemented new tools for the architecture agent, including:
  - `get_architecture`: Retrieves the current architecture state.
  - `propose_add_record`: Proposes adding a new record with detailed schema.
  - `propose_modify_buffer`: Proposes changing the buffer type of an existing record.
  - `propose_add_connector`: Proposes adding a connector to an existing record.
  - `propose_modify_fields`: Proposes replacing fields of an existing record.
  - `propose_modify_key_variants`: Proposes updating key variants of an existing record.
  - `resolve_proposal`: Resolves a pending proposal with options to confirm, reject, or revise.
  - `remove_record`: Proposes the removal of an existing record.
  - `rename_record`: Proposes renaming an existing record.
  - `validate_against_instance`: Validates state against a live AimDB instance.
  - `get_buffer_metrics`: Retrieves live buffer metrics for records.
  - `save_memory`: Persists ideation context to memory.
  - `reset_session`: Resets the architecture session.

- Added a new module `architecture.rs` to encapsulate the architecture agent tools.
- Updated `mod.rs` to include the new architecture tools and re-export them for use.
- Enhanced session management by initializing the session store and handling state transitions.

+# AimDB Architecture Diagram Conventions
+
+This file defines the visual language used in `.aimdb/architecture.mermaid`.
+It is referenced by the `architecture_agent` MCP prompt.
+**Do not edit the Mermaid file directly** — it is generated from `.aimdb/state.toml`.
+
+---
+
+## Node Shapes — Buffer Type Encoding
+
+Each buffer type maps to a specific Mermaid node shape so the topology is
+readable at a glance.
+
+| Buffer Type | Mermaid Shape Syntax | Rendered Shape | When Used |
+|-------------|---------------------|---------------|-----------|
+| `SpmcRing` | `(["Name\nSpmcRing · capacity"])` | Stadium / pill | High-frequency streams; every sample matters; multiple independent consumers |
+| `SingleLatest` | `("Name\nSingleLatest")` | Rounded rectangle | Current state; only newest value relevant; config, UI state |
+| `Mailbox` | `{"Name\nMailbox"}` | Diamond / rhombus | Command channel; latest instruction supersedes prior; actuation |
+
+### Examples
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+  TEMP(["TemperatureReading\nSpmcRing · 256"])
+  CFG("AppConfig\nSingleLatest")
+  CMD{"OtaCommand\nMailbox"}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Arrow Styles — Data Flow vs Connector Metadata
+
+Two arrow styles distinguish internal data flow from external connector wiring.
+
+| Style | Syntax | Meaning |
+|-------|--------|---------|
+| Solid arrow | `A -->|label| B` | Data flow: producer writes, consumer reads |
+| Dashed arrow | `A -.->|label| B` | Connector metadata: `link_to` or `link_from` |
+
+### Solid Arrow Labels
+
+| Label | Meaning |
+|-------|---------|
+| `produce` | A task writes values into the record |
+| `consume` | A task reads values from the record |
+
+### Dashed Arrow Labels
+
+Dashed arrows connect records to a shared `MQTT`, `KNX`, or other connector node.
+The label contains the direction and URL template.
+
+| Label format | Meaning |
+|--------------|---------|
+| `"link_to mqtt://topic/{variant}"` | DB → broker (outbound publish) |
+| `"link_from mqtt://topic/{variant}"` | Broker → DB (inbound subscribe) |
+| `"link_to knx://..."` | DB → KNX bus |
+| `"link_from knx://..."` | KNX bus → DB |
+
+---
+
+## Full Example
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+
+  %% ── Records ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+  TEMP(["TemperatureReading\nSpmcRing · 256"])
+  FW_VER("FirmwareVersion\nSingleLatest")
+  OTA_CMD{"OtaCommand\nMailbox"}
+
+  %% ── Data flow (solid arrows) ─────────────────────────────────────────────
+  sensor_task -->|produce| TEMP
+  TEMP -->|consume| dashboard
+  TEMP -->|consume| anomaly_detector
+
+  cloud_ota_service -->|produce| FW_VER
+  cloud_ota_service -->|produce| OTA_CMD
+  FW_VER -->|consume| device_update_task
+  OTA_CMD -->|consume| device_update_task
+
+  %% ── Connector metadata (dashed arrows) ──────────────────────────────────
+  TEMP -.->|"link_to mqtt://sensors/temp/{variant}"| MQTT
+  MQTT -.->|"link_from mqtt://config/firmware/{variant}"| FW_VER
+  MQTT -.->|"link_from mqtt://ota/cmd/{variant}"| OTA_CMD
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **Records only** appear as shaped nodes. Producers and consumers appear as
+   plain rectangular nodes (default Mermaid style — no shape override).
+2. **Connector buses** (`MQTT`, `KNX`, etc.) appear as plain nodes, connected
+   to records via dashed arrows only.
+3. **Node labels** always include the record name on the first line and the
+   buffer type (with capacity for SpmcRing) on the second line, separated by
+   `\n`.
+4. **Key variants** are NOT shown individually in the diagram. The record node
+   represents the entire key family. Variant-specific URLs appear in dashed
+   arrow labels using `{variant}` placeholder notation.
+5. **Decision rationale** is NOT embedded in the diagram. It lives in the
+   `[[decisions]]` table in `state.toml` and is queryable via the
+   `aimdb://architecture/decisions` MCP resource.
+6. The diagram is **always regenerated** from `state.toml` — never edited by
+   hand. Run `aimdb generate` or confirm a proposal via the architecture agent.

-
-## Using query_schema Tool
-
-The `query_schema` tool helps you understand the structure and types of AimDB records before setting values.
-
-### Step-by-Step Guide
-
-#### 1. Query the Schema
-```
-Use tool: query_schema
-Parameters:
-  - socket_path: Path to AimDB instance
-  - record_name: Name of the record (e.g., "server::Temperature")
-  - include_example: true (default) - includes current value as example
-
-Returns:
-  - record_name: Name of the record
-  - schema: JSON Schema describing the structure
-  - metadata: Buffer info, producer/consumer counts, timestamps
-  - example: Current value (if include_example=true)
-  - inferred_at: When the schema was generated
-```
-
-#### 2. Interpret the Schema
-The schema follows JSON Schema format:
-- **type**: "object", "array", "string", "number", "integer", "boolean", "null"
-- **properties**: For objects, lists all fields and their types
-- **required**: Array of field names that must be provided
-- **items**: For arrays, the type of array elements
-
-#### 3. Use Field Names as Semantic Hints
-Field names carry meaning - use them to infer units and formats:
-- `celsius`, `fahrenheit` → Temperature units
-- `timestamp`, `created_at`, `updated_at` → Unix timestamp (seconds since epoch)
-- `sensor_id`, `user_id`, `device_id` → Identifier strings
-- `percent`, `percentage` → Values 0-100
-- `meters`, `kilometers`, `seconds` → Unit indicators
-
-#### 4. Check the Example Value
-The example shows a real value from the database:
-- Use it as a template for the expected format
-- See what values look like in practice
-- Understand nested structure layout
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Always Query Schema Before Setting Values
-❌ **Bad**: Guess the format and try to set
-```
-User: "Set temperature to 75"
-You: *Sets* {"temperature": 75} → ERROR!
-```
-
-✅ **Good**: Query schema first, then ask for clarification
-```
-User: "Set temperature to 75"
-You: *Queries schema* → Sees field is called "celsius"
-You: "I see the field is called 'celsius'. Did you mean 75°F (23.9°C) or 75°C?"
-```
-
-### Ask Users for Clarification on Units
-When field names suggest units but input is ambiguous:
-
-**Temperature Example**:
-```
-Schema has: {"celsius": {"type": "number"}}
-User says: "Set temperature to 75"
-
-Ask: "The 'celsius' field expects Celsius. Did you mean:
-      - 75°F (approximately 23.9°C)?
-      - Or 75°C directly?"
-```
-
-**Timestamp Example**:
-```
-Schema has: {"timestamp": {"type": "number"}}
-User says: "Update the reading"
-
-Ask: "Should I use the current time for the 'timestamp' field?
-      (The example shows: 1730649600.123, which is a Unix timestamp)"
-```
-
-### Respect Required Fields
-All fields in the `required` array must be provided:
-```
-Schema shows:
-{
-  "properties": {
-    "celsius": {"type": "number"},
-    "sensor_id": {"type": "string"},
-    "timestamp": {"type": "number"}
-  },
-  "required": ["celsius", "sensor_id", "timestamp"]
-}
-
-When setting, you MUST provide all three fields.
-Ask user for missing values if they didn't specify them.
-```
-
-### Check Source Code for Definitive Information
-For production systems, suggest checking the Rust type definition:
-```
-"For authoritative information about units and constraints,
- I recommend checking the Rust source code where this record type is defined.
- The field names suggest 'celsius' is in Celsius, but the code will confirm."
-```
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Setting a Record Value
-1. Query schema to understand structure
-2. Identify field names and types
-3. Ask user to clarify ambiguous values (units, timestamps, etc.)
-4. Confirm all required fields are provided
-5. Use set_record with complete value
-
-### Discovering Fields
-```
-User: "What fields does the SensorData record have?"
-
-1. Query schema
-2. List all properties with their types
-3. Highlight required vs optional fields
-4. Show example value for reference
-```
-
-### Type Validation
-```
-User tries to set: {"port": "8080"}
-Schema shows: {"port": {"type": "integer"}}
-
-Response: "Error: 'port' should be a number (integer), not a string.
-           Try: {\"port\": 8080}"
-```
-
-## Understanding Schema Output
-
-### Simple Types
-```json
-{
-  "type": "integer"  // Whole numbers: 42, -10, 0
-  "type": "number"   // Decimals: 3.14, -2.5, 42.0
-  "type": "string"   // Text: "hello", "sensor-01"
-  "type": "boolean"  // true or false
-  "type": "null"     // null value
-}
-```
-
-### Objects (Structs)
-```json
-{
-  "type": "object",
-  "properties": {
-    "celsius": {"type": "number"},
-    "sensor_id": {"type": "string"}
-  },
-  "required": ["celsius", "sensor_id"]
-}
-```
-Means: `{"celsius": 22.5, "sensor_id": "sensor-01"}`
-
-### Arrays
-```json
-{
-  "type": "array",
-  "items": {"type": "integer"}
-}
-```
-Means: `[1, 2, 3, 4]`
-
-### Nested Objects
-```json
-{
-  "type": "object",
-  "properties": {
-    "sensor": {
-      "type": "object",
-      "properties": {
-        "id": {"type": "string"},
-        "location": {"type": "string"}
-      }
-    },
-    "reading": {"type": "number"}
-  }
-}
-```
-Means: `{"sensor": {"id": "s1", "location": "Room A"}, "reading": 42.5}`
-
-## When Schema Query Fails
-
-### Record Not Found
-If query_schema fails with "Record not found":
-1. Use list_records to see available records
-2. Check spelling - record names are case-sensitive
-3. Include namespace prefix (e.g., "server::Temperature" not "Temperature")
-
-### Connection Issues
-If query_schema fails to connect:
-1. Use discover_instances to find available instances
-2. Verify socket path is correct
-3. Check that AimDB instance is running
-
-### Empty Array Items
-If schema shows `"items": {}` for an array:
-```
-The array is currently empty - item type cannot be determined.
-Ask user what type of items should be in the array,
-or wait for the array to have values before querying schema.
-```
-
-## Tips
-
-- **Query early**: Check schema before attempting to set values
-- **Use examples**: The example value is your best guide
-- **Ask, don't guess**: When units/formats are unclear, ask the user
-- **Validate types**: Ensure numbers are numbers, strings are strings
-- **Check metadata**: Producer/consumer counts tell you if record is active
-- **Field names matter**: They're your primary hint about semantics
-
-## Example Conversation
-
-```
-User: "Set the temperature to 72 degrees"
-
-You: *Queries schema for "server::Temperature"*
-
-Schema returns:
-{
-  "properties": {
-    "celsius": {"type": "number"},
-    "sensor_id": {"type": "string"},
-    "timestamp": {"type": "number"}
-  },
-  "required": ["celsius", "sensor_id", "timestamp"],
-  "example": {"celsius": 22.5, "sensor_id": "sensor-01", "timestamp": 1730649600.123}
-}
-
-You: "I can see the temperature record has these required fields:
-     - celsius (number)
-     - sensor_id (string)
-     - timestamp (number)
-     
-     A few questions:
-     1. Did you mean 72°F (which is 22.2°C) or 72°C directly?
-     2. Which sensor? (The current example uses 'sensor-01')
-     3. Should I use the current time for the timestamp?
-     
-     Once you clarify, I'll set the values."

+
+You are an AimDB architecture agent. Your role is to help developers design
+data architectures for AimDB instances through conversation — without them
+ever touching a graph editor or writing boilerplate.
+
+## Your Output
+
+Every session produces three artefacts:
+1. `.aimdb/state.toml` — the structured decision record (source of truth)
+2. `.aimdb/architecture.mermaid` — a read-only diagram projected from state.toml
+3. `src/generated_schema.rs` — compilable Rust using the actual AimDB API
+
+These are **outputs** of the conversation. The human never edits them directly.
+
+## AimDB Buffer Types — Your Semantic Vocabulary
+
+Every architectural decision resolves to one of three buffer types.
+These are not IoT-specific — they are universal data primitives.
+
+### SpmcRing { capacity: usize }
+High-frequency stream. Every value matters. Multiple independent consumers.
+- Use when: telemetry, sensor readings, event logs, interaction streams
+- Ask: "Does the consumer need every sample, or just the latest?"
+- Ask: "How many systems read this independently?"
+- Capacity rule: `data_rate_hz × lag_tolerance_seconds`, round up to power-of-2
+
+### SingleLatest
+Current state. Only the most recent value matters. Intermediates discarded.
+- Use when: configuration, experiment flags, UI state, firmware target version
+- Ask: "If two updates arrive before consumption, does the consumer need both?"
+- Key distinction from Mailbox: state is *read* on demand; commands are *acted upon*
+
+### Mailbox
+Command channel. Latest instruction supersedes all prior. Single slot, overwrite.
+- Use when: device control, OTA commands, actuation, one-shot triggers
+- Ask: "Is this data passive state the consumer reads, or an actionable command?"
+- Key distinction from SingleLatest: mailbox implies the consumer *must process* it
+
+## The Ideation Loop
+
+Follow this loop strictly. Never skip steps.
+
+```
+1. Human describes intent (any form, any specificity)
+2. Identify ambiguities that affect buffer type, topology, or data model
+3. Ask ONE targeted question — never multiple at once
+4. Human responds
+5. Call the appropriate `propose_*` tool with a concrete proposal
+6. Human calls resolve_proposal: confirm | reject | revise
+7. On confirm: state.toml updated, Mermaid regenerated, Rust generated
+8. Return to step 1 for the next record or refinement
+```
+
+**Never propose without resolving ambiguity.** If you are uncertain which
+buffer type fits, ask first. A wrong proposal that the human confirms wastes
+more time than one clarifying question.
+
+**One question at a time.** Asking three questions at once overwhelms. Ask the
+most important one — the one whose answer has the highest information value for
+the buffer type decision.
+
+## Startup Behaviour
+
+On session start:
+1. Read `aimdb://architecture/memory` — restore ideation context and design rationale
+2. Read `aimdb://architecture/state` — load existing decisions
+3. Read `aimdb://architecture` — understand current topology
+4. Read `aimdb://architecture/conflicts` — surface any drift
+5. If architecture exists: briefly summarise it (use memory for context), note any conflicts
+6. If no architecture: ask where to begin (see `onboarding` prompt)
+
+Do not re-litigate settled decisions. Memory records the rationale for prior choices —
+use it to explain them if asked, not to revisit them.
+
+## Post-Confirmation: Save Memory
+
+After **every** `resolve_proposal` that returns `"resolution": "confirmed"`, call
+`save_memory` with a narrative entry capturing:
+
+```
+## {RecordName}
+
+**Context**: {1–2 sentences on what the user is building and why this record exists}
+
+**Key question**: {The most important question you asked}
+**Answer**: {What the user said}
+
+**Buffer choice**: {SpmcRing|SingleLatest|Mailbox} — {1–2 sentences on why this fits}
+
+**Alternatives considered**: {Any options discussed and why they were rejected}
+
+**Future considerations**: {Any deferred decisions, e.g. "add host field for distributed tracing"}
+```
+
+Omit sections that have no content — do not write "N/A".
+
+## Data Model Derivation
+
+Do not guess value types — derive them from source material:
+
+- **Datasheets**: Extract calibrated output fields and units (not raw ADC values)
+- **API documentation**: Map response schema fields to Rust primitives
+- **Protocol specs**: e.g. KNX DPT 9.001 → `f32` in °C
+- **Conversation**: Ask targeted questions about fields and units
+
+Supported field types: `f64`, `f32`, `u8`, `u16`, `u32`, `u64`,
+`i8`, `i16`, `i32`, `i64`, `bool`, `String`.
+
+If the user mentions a sensor model, look up its calibrated outputs.
+If the user provides an API spec, extract the response fields.
+Always propose the struct fields as part of the record proposal.
+
+## Key Variants
+
+All key variants must be concrete before you call any `propose_*` tool. Never emit
+`key_strategy: "one_per_device"` — that is not a valid state.toml field.
+
+If the user says "one per device" without listing them:
+> "Which devices should I include? I need the concrete IDs — for example:
+> gateway-01, gateway-02, sensor-hub-01. Do you have a device list or
+> fleet manifest I can read?"
+
+The agent may derive device lists from fleet manifests, config files, or API
+responses the user provides.
+
+## Mermaid Conventions
+
+Read `aimdb://architecture/conventions` for the full specification. Summary:
+- `(["Name\nSpmcRing · N"])` — stadium shape for ring buffer
+- `("Name\nSingleLatest")` — rounded rect for state
+- `{"Name\nMailbox"}` — diamond for command
+- Solid arrows: data flow (produce / consume)
+- Dashed arrows: connector metadata (link_to / link_from with URL)
+
+## Constraints
+
+- **Never edit state.toml or Mermaid directly** — use tools
+- **Every change is a proposal** — the human confirms before anything is written
+- **Conflicts halt proposals** — if validate_against_instance returns errors for
+  the affected record, surface them before proposing the change
+- **Breaking changes are warned, not blocked** — note that deleting or renaming
+  a record will cause compile errors in application code that references it

+fn get_breaking_change_review_prompt() -> Vec<PromptMessage> {
+    let text = r#"# Breaking Change Review Protocol
+
+Apply this protocol **before** calling resolve_proposal with `confirm` for any
+proposal that:
+- Deletes an existing record
+- Renames an existing record
+- Changes the buffer type of an existing record
+- Removes or renames fields from a value struct
+- Changes key variants (removing or renaming existing ones)
+
+## Step 1 — Check the Running Instance
+
+Call `validate_against_instance`. Review the result:
+
+| Conflict type | Meaning | Action |
+|---------------|---------|--------|
+| `missing_in_instance` | Record not in instance yet | Safe — codegen may not have run |
+| `missing_in_state` | Record in instance but not in state.toml | Note only — manually registered |
+| `buffer_mismatch` | Buffer type differs between state and instance | **Warn user** |
+| `capacity_mismatch` | Capacity differs | Warn — may be intentional override |
+| `connector_mismatch` | Connector URL differs | Warn — check intent |
+
+If `buffer_mismatch` or `connector_mismatch` is present for the affected record,
+surface it inline and **halt the proposal** until the human decides how to proceed.
+
+## Step 2 — Application Code Impact
+
+For delete and rename operations, always include this warning in the proposal:
+
+> ⚠️ **Application code impact**: Deleting/renaming this record will remove
+> the generated `{OldName}Key` enum and `{OldName}Value` struct from
+> `src/generated_schema.rs`. Any application code that references these types
+> will fail to compile. The compiler will identify all affected call sites.
+> No automatic migration is performed.
+
+For buffer type changes, include:
+
+> ⚠️ **Buffer type change**: Changing from `{OldBuffer}` to `{NewBuffer}`
+> will affect consumer behaviour. Consumers expecting ring-buffer semantics
+> (e.g. anomaly detectors reading historical windows) will silently receive
+> fewer values if changing from SpmcRing to SingleLatest or Mailbox.
+
+## Step 3 — Decision Log Entry
+
+When confirmed, always write a `decisions` entry that records:
+- What was changed (old value → new value)
+- Why (the human's stated reason)
+- Timestamp
+
+This ensures future sessions can explain why a breaking change was made.
+
+## What NOT to do
+
+- **Do not propose automatic migrations.** If a buffer type changes, do not
+  offer to rewrite the application code that consumes it.
+- **Do not block on warnings.** Capacity mismatches and info-level conflicts
+  do not require user action — surface them, then proceed if the human confirms.
+- **Do not halt on `missing_in_instance`.** This is expected when codegen
+  has not been run yet or the binary has not been redeployed.

+> Tell me about the system you're building — what data exists, where it comes
+> from, and where it needs to go. You don't need to be precise yet; a rough
+> description is fine.
+
+## Information Gathering Sequence
+
+Collect answers to these questions, one at a time, woven naturally into
+conversation — not as a form. Stop collecting and start proposing as soon as
+you have enough to make the first record proposal.
+
+### 1. Data sources
+> "What generates data in your system? (sensors, services, user actions,
+> external APIs, devices, cloud backends...)"
+
+### 2. Data consumers
+> "Who or what reads that data? (dashboards, actuators, analytics pipelines,
+> notification systems, other services...)"
+
+### 3. Frequency and volume
+> "How frequently does the data change or arrive?"
+> Example follow-up: "Is it continuous (100ms sensor readings) or event-driven
+> (firmware update every few weeks)?"
+
+### 4. External connectivity
+> "Does data need to flow to or from an external system? (MQTT broker, KNX
+> bus, REST API, cloud service...)"
+
+### 5. Platform target
+> "Are you running on embedded hardware, edge servers, cloud, or a mix?"
+> This affects connector and buffer choices.
+
+## Transition to Proposals
+
+Once you have a clear picture of at least one data source and its consumers,
+stop gathering and make your first proposal. Use the `propose_record` format.
+
+Do not wait for complete system description before proposing. Start with the
+highest-frequency or most central data record — the one that connects the most
+producers and consumers. Correct proposals build momentum.
+
+## Example Opening Exchange
+
+```
+Agent: No architecture found. Tell me about the system you're building —
+       what data exists, where it comes from, and where it needs to go.
+
+User: I have 3 SHT31 sensors (indoor, outdoor, garage) reporting every 100ms.
+      A dashboard shows live readings. Anomalies trigger cloud alerts.
+
+Agent: I know the SHT31 — it outputs calibrated temperature and relative
+       humidity. One question:
+       Does the dashboard need every reading, or just the current value
+       per sensor?
+```
+
+(Continue with `resolve_buffer_type` patterns as needed, then `propose_record`.)
+
+## State Initialisation
+
+Before the first proposal is confirmed, create the `.aimdb/` directory and an
+empty `state.toml` with the `[meta]` block:
+
+```toml
+[meta]
+aimdb_version = "0.5.0"
+created_at = "{ISO8601_NOW}"
+last_modified = "{ISO8601_NOW}"
+```
+
+The meta block is written by the `propose_*` tools on first use — this is just
+for context on what the initial file looks like.

Subject: [PATCH 08/46] feat: Enhance validation and code generation for AimDB

- Added validation for schema_version to ensure it is >= 1.
- Introduced warnings for records with settable fields lacking a timestamp field.
- Implemented validation for observable signal fields to ensure they exist and are numeric.
- Updated the generate command to support a common crate mode, producing a complete crate structure.
- Enhanced TOML schema to include project metadata and record-level serialization options.
- Added tests for new validation rules and common crate generation.
- Documented the design for extending aimdb-codegen to generate common crates.

+# Design: Extending aimdb-codegen to Generate Common Crates
+
+**Status:** Draft
+**Date:** 2025-02-25
+**Scope:** `aimdb-codegen` — extend Rust code generation to produce a complete,
+compilable `xx-xx-common` crate from `.aimdb/state.toml`
+
+---
+
+## 1. Problem Statement
+
+Today `aimdb-codegen` generates a single `generated_schema.rs` file containing
+value structs, key enums, and a `configure_schema()` function. But every real
+AimDB project ends up with a hand-written **common crate** that adds:
+
+- `no_std` / `std` feature gating
+- `Linkable` trait implementations (serialisation)
+- `SchemaType` trait implementations (identity + versioning)
+- `Observable` trait implementations (signal extraction, icons, units)
+- Serialiser/deserialiser wiring in `configure_schema()` (currently TODO stubs)
+- Convenience re-exports
+- A `Cargo.toml` with correct dependencies and feature flags
+
+This boilerplate is near-identical across projects. The codegen should produce it.
+
+### Evidence — existing hand-written common crates
+
+| Crate | Location | Key enums | Custom types | Trait impls |
+|-------|----------|-----------|-------------|-------------|
+| `weather-mesh-common` | `examples/weather-mesh-demo/` | 2 | 0 (re-exports) | 0 |
+| `demo-weather-common` | `aimdb-pro/demo/` | 5 | 3 (Forecast*) | SchemaType, Observable, Linkable |
+| `mqtt-connector-demo-common` | `examples/` | 2 | 2 | SchemaType, custom ser/de |
+| `knx-connector-demo-common` | `examples/` | 3 | 3 | SchemaType, custom display |
+
+Every one follows the same structure. The codegen should eliminate 80%+ of this.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Design Principles
+
+1. **Generate what's derivable, leave extension points for what's not.**
+   Serialisation format (JSON) is derivable. Domain-specific simulation logic is
+   not — it is either hand-written or LLM-generated via inline enrichment
+   (see Section 7).
+
+2. **Generated code must compile without edits.**
+   No TODO stubs in the output. If the codegen produces it, it builds.
+   The agent verifies this by running `cargo check` (and optionally `clippy`)
+   after generation and iterates until the crate compiles cleanly.
+
+3. **`no_std` compatible by default.**
+   Generated common crates use `#![cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), no_std)]`
+   with `alloc` for String/Vec types. Feature-gated `serde_json` for std.
+
+4. **Single source of truth stays in `state.toml`.**
+   New TOML fields drive generation. No second config file.
+
+5. **Opt-in enrichment, not mandatory.**
+   New TOML fields have sensible defaults. Existing `state.toml` files continue
+   to generate valid (if minimal) output.
+
+---
+
+## 3. TOML Schema Extensions
+
+### 3.1 Project-level metadata (new `[project]` block)
+
+```toml
+[project]
+name = "weather-sentinel"          # used for crate naming: weather-sentinel-common
+edition = "2024"                    # Rust edition, default "2024"
+```
+
+Drives the generated `Cargo.toml` crate name: `{project.name}-common`.
+
+### 3.2 Record-level enrichment (new optional fields on `[[records]]`)
+
+```toml
+[[records]]
+name = "WeatherObservation"
+buffer = "SpmcRing"
+capacity = 256
+key_prefix = "weather.observation."
+key_variants = ["Vienna", "Munich", "Berlin"]
+
+# ── New fields ──────────────────────────────────────────────
+schema_version = 2                 # SchemaType::VERSION, default 1
+serialization = "json"             # "json" | "postcard" | "custom", default "json"
+
+# Observable trait metadata (optional — omit to skip Observable impl)
+[records.observable]
+signal_field = "temperature_celsius"   # field name to use as signal()
+icon = "🌡️"                            # Observable::ICON
+unit = "°C"                            # Observable::UNIT
+```
+
+### 3.3 Field-level enrichment (new optional fields on `[[records.fields]]`)
+
+```toml
+[[records.fields]]
+name = "temperature_celsius"
+type = "f32"
+description = "Air temperature at 2m above ground in °C"
+
+# ── New fields ──────────────────────────────────────────────
+settable = true         # include this field in Settable::Value tuple, default false
+```
+
+### 3.4 Full example — extended `state.toml`
+
+```toml
+[project]
+name = "weather-sentinel"
+
+[meta]
+aimdb_version = "0.5.0"
+created_at = "2026-02-24T21:39:15Z"
+last_modified = "2026-02-25T10:00:00Z"
+
+[[records]]
+name = "WeatherObservation"
+buffer = "SpmcRing"
+capacity = 256
+key_prefix = "weather.observation."
+key_variants = ["Vienna", "Munich", "Berlin", "Rome", "Zurich", "Paris"]
+producers = ["station_vienna", "station_munich", "station_berlin",
+             "station_rome", "station_zurich", "station_paris"]
+consumers = ["sentinel_agent"]
+schema_version = 1
+serialization = "json"
+
+[records.observable]
+signal_field = "temperature_celsius"
+icon = "🌡️"
+unit = "°C"
+
+[[records.fields]]
+name = "timestamp"
+type = "u64"
+description = "Unix timestamp in milliseconds"
+
+[[records.fields]]
+name = "temperature_celsius"
+type = "f32"
+description = "Air temperature at 2m above ground in °C"
+settable = true
+
+[[records.fields]]
+name = "humidity_percent"
+type = "f32"
+description = "Relative humidity at 2m in %"
+settable = true
+
+[[records.connectors]]
+protocol = "mqtt"
+direction = "inbound"
+url = "sensors/{variant}/observation"
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Generated Output — Common Crate Structure
+
+Running `aimdb generate --common-crate` produces a directory:
+
+```
+weather-sentinel-common/
+├── Cargo.toml              # deterministic
+└── src/
+    ├── lib.rs              # deterministic
+    └── schema.rs           # deterministic skeleton + user-accepted LLM enrichments
+```
+
+### 4.1 Generated `Cargo.toml`
+
+```toml
+# Regenerate with `aimdb generate`
+[package]
+name = "weather-sentinel-common"
+version = "0.1.0"
+edition = "2024"
+
+[features]
+default = ["std"]
+std = ["aimdb-data-contracts/std", "serde_json"]
+alloc = []
+
+[dependencies]
+aimdb-core = { version = "0.5", default-features = false, features = ["derive", "alloc"] }
+aimdb-data-contracts = { version = "0.5", default-features = false }
+serde = { version = "1.0", default-features = false, features = ["derive", "alloc"] }
+serde_json = { version = "1.0", optional = true }
+```
+
+**Note:** `aimdb-executor` is intentionally absent. The common crate is
+platform-agnostic and carries only data contracts. `configure_schema` and any
+runtime registration code live in the application crate, not here.
+
+### 4.2 Generated `lib.rs`
+
+```rust
+// @generated — do not edit manually.
+#![cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), no_std)]
+extern crate alloc;
+
+mod schema;
+
+// Re-export all public types for downstream crates
+pub use schema::*;
+```
+
+### 4.3 Generated `schema.rs` — extended
+
+The existing generation (value structs, key enums, `configure_schema`) stays.
+The following sections are **added**.
+
+---
+
+## 5. New Generated Code — Trait Implementations
+
+### 5.1 `SchemaType` implementation
+
+Generated for **every** record. Uses `schema_version` from TOML (default 1).
+
+```rust
+impl SchemaType for WeatherObservationValue {
+    const NAME: &'static str = "weather_observation";  // snake_case of record name
+    const VERSION: u32 = 1;
+}
+```
+
+**Derivation rule:** `name` field → `to_snake_case()` → `SchemaType::NAME`.
+
+### 5.2 `Linkable` implementation (serialisation)
+
+Generated when `serialization` is set (default `"json"`).
+
+**For `serialization = "json"`:**
+
+```rust
+impl Linkable for WeatherObservationValue {
+    fn to_bytes(&self) -> Result<alloc::vec::Vec<u8>, alloc::string::String> {
+        #[cfg(feature = "std")]
+        {
+            serde_json::to_vec(self)
+                .map_err(|e| alloc::format!("serialize {}: {e}", Self::NAME))
+        }
+        #[cfg(not(feature = "std"))]
+        {
+            // Fallback: serde_json not available in no_std
+            // Users should override this impl or enable the std feature
+            Err(alloc::format!("no_std serialization not implemented for {}", Self::NAME))
+        }
+    }
+
+    fn from_bytes(data: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, alloc::string::String> {
+        #[cfg(feature = "std")]
+        {
+            serde_json::from_slice(data)
+                .map_err(|e| alloc::format!("deserialize {}: {e}", Self::NAME))
+        }
+        #[cfg(not(feature = "std"))]
+        {
+            let _ = data;
+            Err(alloc::format!("no_std deserialization not implemented for {}", Self::NAME))
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**For `serialization = "postcard"`:** generates `postcard::to_allocvec` /
+`postcard::from_bytes` calls. Adds `postcard` to Cargo.toml dependencies.
+
+**For `serialization = "custom"`:** no deterministic `Linkable` impl is
+generated. Instead, the agent proposes a `Linkable` impl as an inline
+enrichment, using field types and descriptions to infer the serialisation
+format. If the format is ambiguous (e.g. mixed binary and text fields), the
+agent asks the user to clarify before generating.
+
+### 5.3 `Observable` implementation
+
+Generated **only** when `[records.observable]` block is present.
+
+```rust
+impl Observable for WeatherObservationValue {
+    type Signal = f32;  // inferred from the field type of signal_field
+    const ICON: &'static str = "🌡️";
+    const UNIT: &'static str = "°C";
+
+    fn signal(&self) -> f32 {
+        self.temperature_celsius
+    }
+
+    fn format_log(&self, node_id: &str) -> alloc::string::String {
+        alloc::format!(
+            "{} [{}] {}: {:.1}{} at {}",
+            Self::ICON,
+            node_id,
+            Self::NAME,
+            self.signal(),
+            Self::UNIT,
+            self.timestamp,  // uses first u64 field as timestamp, or computed_at
+        )
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**`format_log` heuristic for the timestamp field:** Use the first field named
+`timestamp`, `computed_at`, or `fetched_at`. If none found, omit the timestamp
+portion from the format string.
+
+### 5.4 `Settable` implementation
+
+Generated when **any** field has `settable = true`.
+
+```rust
+impl Settable for WeatherObservationValue {
+    // Tuple of all settable fields, in order
+    type Value = (f32, f32);  // (temperature_celsius, humidity_percent)
+
+    fn set(value: Self::Value, timestamp: u64) -> Self {
+        Self {
+            timestamp,
+            temperature_celsius: value.0,
+            humidity_percent: value.1,
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Rules:**
+- `Value` is a tuple of the field types marked `settable = true`
+- If only one field is settable, `Value` is the bare type (not a 1-tuple)
+- The `timestamp` parameter fills the first `u64` field named `timestamp` /
+  `computed_at` / `fetched_at`
+
+---
+
+## 6. Closing the TODO Gap — `configure_schema()` with Real Serialisers
+
+The current generated `configure_schema()` has TODO stubs. With `Linkable`
+impls available, the codegen can wire real serialisers:
+
+### Before (current)
+
+```rust
+if let Some(addr) = key.link_address() {
+    let _ = "TODO: add .with_deserializer(...)";
+    reg.link_from(addr);
+}
+```
+
+### After (proposed)
+
+```rust
+if let Some(addr) = key.link_address() {
+    reg.link_from(addr)
+        .with_deserializer(WeatherObservationValue::from_bytes)
+        .finish();
+}
+```
+
+For outbound:
+
+```rust
+if let Some(addr) = key.link_address() {
+    reg.link_to(addr)
+        .with_serializer(|v: &WeatherObservationValue| {
+            v.to_bytes()
+                .map_err(|_| aimdb_core::connector::SerializeError::InvalidData)
+        })
+        .finish();
+}
+```
+
+**Condition:** Only generated when `serialization != "custom"`. When
+`serialization = "custom"`, the TODO stubs remain (user provides their own).
+
+---
+
+## 7. LLM-Assisted Enrichment — Inline Suggestions
+
+Some code cannot be deterministically derived from `state.toml` alone — but it
+*can* be generated by an LLM, because the schema already contains rich semantic
+context: field names, types, units, descriptions, buffer semantics, and
+producer/consumer relationships.
+
+### Single-file model — no `extensions.rs`
+
+Instead of generating a separate file for LLM-produced code, the MCP tool
+returns the deterministic `schema.rs` back to the calling LLM agent along with
+structured context about what enrichments are possible. The agent then proposes
+**inline edits** to `schema.rs` — presented as standard IDE inline suggestions
+(Copilot-style) that the user can accept, reject, or modify per-suggestion.
+
+This means:
+- **One file** — no module wiring, no feature-gating between generated and
+  hand-written modules, no "which file owns this impl?" confusion
+- **User stays in control** — each suggestion is individually reviewable in the
+  IDE diff view, not a black-box file drop
+- **Incremental** — on schema changes the deterministic codegen re-runs and the
+  agent can propose new inline enrichments for just the changed/added records
+- **No markers, no ceremony** — the agent uses `git diff` to understand what
+  changed between codegen runs. No `@generated` comments polluting the source.
+  The file reads like normal Rust code (see Section 7.2)
+

+```
+
+The key insight: the LLM that created `state.toml` and `memory.md` already understands the
+domain. The MCP server feeds the deterministic schema back to that same LLM
+as structured context. The agent proposes enrichments as normal code edits —
+no second LLM, no API key, no separate file. The agent in the loop *is* the
+generator, and the IDE's diff view *is* the review surface.
+
+### 7.2 Re-generation strategy — git diff, not markers
+
+After the user accepts inline suggestions, `schema.rs` contains a mix of
+deterministic code and user-accepted enrichments. On subsequent codegen runs,
+the agent must update the deterministic parts without destroying user code.
+
+**Strategy: the agent uses `git diff` to reason about changes.**
+
+Both `state.toml` and `schema.rs` are version-controlled. When the agent
+re-generates after a schema change:
+
+1. **Deterministic codegen** produces a fresh `schema.rs` from `state.toml`
+   (to a temporary location or in-memory)
+2. **Agent diffs** the fresh output against the committed `schema.rs`
+3. **Agent merges** — it understands which blocks are deterministic (structs,
+   key enums, trait impls derived from TOML) vs user-owned (Simulatable impls,
+   helper methods, task scaffolds). It replaces the former and preserves the
+   latter.
+4. **Agent adapts** user code if needed — e.g. if a field was renamed, the
+   agent updates references in user-owned `Simulatable` impls
+5. **Agent verifies** with `cargo check` and iterates until clean
+
+This avoids polluting the source with marker comments. The file reads like
+normal Rust code. The agent's semantic understanding of the codebase replaces
+what traditional codegen tools solve with markers.
+
+**Why this works:** the MCP path guarantees an LLM is always in the loop.
+The deterministic codegen never runs blind — there's always an agent to
+perform the merge intelligently. For the CLI fallback (no LLM), the codegen
+simply overwrites `schema.rs` entirely — the user can `git diff` and restore
+any enrichments they want to keep.
+
+### 7.3 What the LLM enriches
+
+| Concern | LLM input signals | Inline suggestion |
+|---------|------------------|-------------------|
+| `Simulatable` impl | field types + units + descriptions | `impl Simulatable for ...` with plausible ranges (e.g. −30..50 °C for temperature) |
+| `format_log` override | field names + observable metadata | Richer formatting than the deterministic heuristic |
+| Producer task scaffold | record name + MQTT topic + producers list | `async fn station_producer(...)` with polling skeleton |
+| Consumer/agent scaffold | record name + consumers list + buffer type | `async fn sentinel_agent(...)` draining the ring |
+| Helper methods | field semantics + descriptions | `fn is_anomaly(&self) -> bool` based on field descriptions |
+
+**What the LLM does NOT enrich:**
+- Custom nested types (e.g. `Vec<HourlyForecast>`) — domain modelling beyond
+  `state.toml`
+- `Streamable` impl (aimdb-pro) — different crate boundary
+- Business logic inside tasks — the agent's reasoning algorithm is not
+  derivable from schema alone
+
+### 7.4 CLI fallback
+
+The CLI (`aimdb generate --common-crate`) runs deterministic-only codegen.
+LLM enrichment requires the MCP path because it needs an LLM in the loop.
+The CLI output is a fully compilable crate — just without `Simulatable` impls
+or task scaffolds.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1 — TOML schema extensions + `Cargo.toml` generation
+
+1. Add `[project]` block to `state.rs` (`ProjectDef` struct, optional)
+2. Add `schema_version`, `serialization` to `RecordDef`
+3. Add `[records.observable]` as `Option<ObservableDef>` to `RecordDef`
+4. Add `settable` flag to `FieldDef`
+5. Extend `validate.rs` to validate new fields:
+   - **Error** if `serialization` is an unrecognised string
+   - **Warning** if `schema_version = 0` (versions must be ≥ 1)
+   - **Warning** if any field has `settable = true` but no `u64` timestamp field
+     exists (`timestamp`, `computed_at`, or `fetched_at`) — `Settable::set()`
+     will fall back to `Default::default()` for the timestamp slot
+   - **Error** if `observable.signal_field` does not name a field in the record
+   - **Warning** if `observable.signal_field` has a non-numeric type
+6. Add `generate_cargo_toml()` to codegen
+7. Add `generate_lib_rs()` to codegen
+
+### Phase 2 — Trait implementation generation
+
+1. Add `emit_schema_type_impl()` to `rust.rs`
+2. Add `emit_linkable_impl()` to `rust.rs` (json / postcard branches)
+3. Add `emit_observable_impl()` to `rust.rs`
+4. Add `emit_settable_impl()` to `rust.rs`
+5. Wire all into the existing `generate_rust()` pipeline
+
+### Phase 3 — Close the TODO gap
+
+1. Update `emit_configure_schema()` to call `.with_serializer()` /
+   `.with_deserializer()` with real `Linkable` methods
+2. Add `.finish()` calls after link setup
+3. Conditionally generate TODO stubs only for `serialization = "custom"`
+
+### Phase 4 — CLI integration
+
+1. Add `--common-crate` flag to `aimdb generate`
+2. Default output directory: `{project.name}-common/` alongside `.aimdb/`
+3. CLI produces clean `schema.rs` without markers — just normal Rust code
+4. Update `aimdb generate` to produce both the flat file (backward compat) and
+   the crate structure (new default)
+
+### Phase 5 — MCP-driven LLM enrichment
+
+1. Add `generate_common_crate` tool to `aimdb-mcp`
+2. Tool runs deterministic codegen (Phases 1–4) via `aimdb-codegen`
+3. Agent diffs the fresh output against the committed `schema.rs` (git diff)
+4. Agent merges deterministic changes while preserving user-owned enrichments
+5. Agent proposes new inline enrichments for added/changed records
+6. Agent verifies with `cargo check`, iterates until clean
+7. CLI fallback: `aimdb generate --common-crate` overwrites `schema.rs`
+   entirely; the user can `git diff` to restore enrichments manually
+
+---
+
+## 9. Migration Path
+
+> **Out of scope for this alpha.** `aimdb-codegen` is not yet used in
+> production. Migration tooling (version diffing, `Migratable` stub generation,
+> backward-compatible output guarantees) will be designed once the codegen is
+> stable and adopted. Do not implement or design migration features at this stage.
+
+When the codegen graduates from alpha, migration will need to address:
+- Projects with `state.toml` files predating the `[project]` block
+- Schema version bumps between `state.toml` revisions
+- Backward compatibility of generated `Cargo.toml` dependency versions
+
+These are deferred entirely.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Example — Full Generated Output
+
+Given the `state.toml` from Section 3.4, `aimdb generate --common-crate`
+produces:
+
+```

+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** `configure_schema` is **not** generated in `schema.rs`. The common
+crate is platform-agnostic. Application crates import the types and call
+`builder.configure::<WeatherObservationValue>(key, |reg| { ... })` directly,
+using `WeatherObservationValue::from_bytes` / `to_bytes` from the `Linkable`
+impl for connector wiring.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Open Questions
+
+1. **Should `postcard` be a first-class serialisation target?**
+   It's the natural choice for `no_std` / Embassy. The TOML field supports it,
+   but implementation can be deferred to Phase 2+.
+
+2. **Should the codegen generate `Debug` formatting for key enums?**
+   Currently missing from the derive list. The hand-written crates include it.
+   → Recommendation: yes, add `Debug` to key enum derives.
+
+3. **Should `configure_schema` be generic over the adapter?**
+   Currently it's `<R: Spawn>`. Some registrar methods (like `.tap()`) require
+   adapter-specific extension traits. The generated function should stay generic
+   and only call the adapter-agnostic subset.
+
+4. **MCP tool return contract for `generate_common_crate`.**
+   The tool needs to return enough context for the calling LLM to propose
+   inline enrichments. Options: (a) return the full generated `schema.rs`
+   content inline, (b) return a summary + file path and let the agent read it,
+   (c) return a structured list of enrichment opportunities with insertion
+   points. → Recommend (c): return enrichment opportunities as structured data
+   (record name, missing traits, field semantics) so the agent can propose
+   targeted edits without re-reading the full file.
+
+5. **What happens to user code referencing a removed record?**
+   When a record is deleted from `state.toml`, its `@generated` marker blocks
+   are removed. Since both `state.toml` and `schema.rs` are versioned, the
+   agent can `git diff` the before/after to identify exactly which records were
+   added, changed, or removed. For removed records, the agent proactively
+   proposes deletion of stale user-owned code (e.g. orphaned `Simulatable`
+   impls). For changed records, it proposes updates to enrichments that
+   reference renamed or retyped fields. After applying changes, the agent runs
+   `cargo check` to verify the crate compiles — if it doesn't, it reads the
+   compiler errors and proposes fixes. This closes the loop: the agent doesn't
+   just generate code, it verifies the result and iterates until the crate
+   builds cleanly.

Subject: [PATCH 09/46] feat: add tasks and binaries support to architecture
 state

- Introduced `tasks` and `binaries` fields in `ArchitectureState` struct.
- Added `TaskDef`, `TaskIo`, `TaskType`, `BinaryDef`, and `ExternalConnectorDef` structs for task and binary definitions.
- Implemented validation for tasks and binaries in `validate.rs`, ensuring proper references and existence checks.
- Enhanced the CLI with a new `--hub` option to generate a hub binary crate scaffold, including `Cargo.toml`, `main.rs`, and `tasks.rs`.
- Updated default paths to be relative to `AIMDB_WORKSPACE` for better project structure management.

+## Tasks and Binaries
+
+After records are defined, help the user define **tasks** — the async functions
+that source, transform, or tap data — and **binaries** — the deployable
+crates that group tasks together.
+
+### Task Types
+- **Source**: Autonomous producer that generates data and writes to a record (sensor polling, simulation, periodic computation). Mutually exclusive with Transform on the same record.
+- **Transform**: Reactive derivation that reads one or more input records, computes, and writes to an output record (map, accumulate, join). Mutually exclusive with Source on the same record.
+- **Tap**: Read-only observer that subscribes to a record and reacts to values without writing output records (logging, metrics, triggering side-effects).
+- **Agent**: LLM-driven reasoning loop that reads records, reasons over them, and writes conclusions or actions to output records (anomaly detection, cross-correlation, adaptive control).
+
+Note: External data flow (MQTT, KNX, WebSocket) is handled by **connectors** via
+`link_from` (inbound) and `link_to` (outbound) — not by tasks.
+
+### Task I/O
+Each task declares its inputs (records it reads) and outputs (records it writes).
+Optionally filter by variant: `{ record = "Temperature", variants = ["Indoor"] }`.
+
+### Binaries
+A binary groups tasks into a deployable crate. Each binary can also declare
+`external_connectors` for runtime broker connections (MQTT, KNX) with env vars.
+
+### Ideation Flow for Tasks
+1. Once records are settled, ask: "What processes operate on this data?"
+2. For each process, resolve: task type, which records it reads/writes
+3. Propose with `propose_add_task`
+4. After tasks are defined, ask about deployment grouping
+5. Propose binaries with `propose_add_binary`

Subject: [PATCH 11/46] feat: implement WebSocket connector with client
 management and session handling

- Add ClientManager for tracking connected WebSocket clients and their subscriptions.
- Implement WebSocketConnector for managing outbound publishing and routing.
- Create protocol definitions for server-client communication.
- Develop server functionality using Axum for WebSocket upgrades and health checks.
- Establish session management for individual WebSocket connections, including message handling and subscription management.
- Introduce snapshot functionality for late-join clients.
- Implement topic matching for subscription patterns.
- Add tests for client registration, subscription, and broadcasting.

+//! Authentication and authorization for WebSocket connections.

+//! The [`AuthHandler`] trait provides pluggable auth hooks for:
+//!
+//! 1. **Connection upgrade** — `authenticate()`: decide whether to accept the WebSocket
+//!    handshake and assign per-client permissions.
+//! 2. **Topic subscriptions** — `authorize_subscribe()`: gate which topics a client can
+//!    receive data from.
+//! 3. **Inbound writes** — `authorize_write()`: gate which topics a client may write to.

+//! The default implementation ([`NoAuth`]) allows all operations.

Subject: [PATCH 13/46] feat: add AimDB WASM adapter design document

- Introduced a new design document for the AimDB WASM adapter, detailing its architecture, motivation, and implementation plan.
- Outlined the benefits of running the full dataflow engine in the browser, including native contract enforcement and offline capabilities.
- Provided a comprehensive overview of the crate layout, dependency graph, and feature flags.
- Included detailed sections on trait implementations, buffer design, TypeScript bindings, and WebSocket sync strategies.
- Established a clear migration path for integrating the WASM adapter with existing AimDB UI components.

+
+WebAssembly runtime adapter for AimDB — browser-native async runtime support.
+
+## Overview
+
+This crate provides a WASM runtime adapter that enables the full AimDB dataflow
+engine to run inside a web browser (or any `wasm32-unknown-unknown` host).
+
+Records, buffers, producers, consumers, and data-contract enforcement all
+execute natively in WASM — eliminating the need for a parallel validation
+layer (Zod, JSON Schema) on the TypeScript side.
+
+## Platform Matrix
+
+| Target | Adapter | Buffer Primitive | Spawn Mechanism |
+|--------|---------|------------------|-----------------|
+| MCU | `aimdb-embassy-adapter` | `embassy-sync` channels | Static task pool |
+| Edge / Cloud | `aimdb-tokio-adapter` | `tokio::sync` channels | `tokio::spawn` |
+| **Browser** | **`aimdb-wasm-adapter`** | **`Rc<RefCell<…>>`** | **`spawn_local`** |
+
+## Usage
+
+```rust
+use aimdb_wasm_adapter::WasmAdapter;
+use aimdb_core::{AimDbBuilder, buffer::BufferCfg};
+use std::sync::Arc;
+
+let adapter = WasmAdapter;
+let db = AimDbBuilder::new()
+    .runtime(Arc::new(adapter))
+    .build()
+    .unwrap();
+```
+
+## Build
+
+```bash
+# Install target
+rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
+cargo install wasm-pack
+
+# Build
+wasm-pack build --target web --out-dir pkg
+
+# Test
+wasm-pack test --headless --chrome
+```

+//! AimDB WASM Runtime Adapter
+//!
+//! Provides a WebAssembly runtime adapter for AimDB, enabling the full
+//! dataflow engine to run inside a web browser or any WASM host.
+//!
+//! # Architecture
+//!
+//! This crate implements the four executor traits from `aimdb-executor`:
+//!
+//! - [`RuntimeAdapter`] — Platform identity (`"wasm"`)
+//! - [`Spawn`] — Task spawning via `wasm_bindgen_futures::spawn_local`
+//! - [`TimeOps`] — `Performance.now()` + `setTimeout` for async sleep
+//! - [`Logger`] — Maps to `console.log/debug/warn/error`
+//!
+//! # Single-Threaded Safety
+//!
+//! `wasm32-unknown-unknown` is single-threaded by construction. The `Send + Sync`
+//! bounds required by executor traits are satisfied trivially — no concurrent
+//! access is possible. This is the same pattern used by `aimdb-embassy-adapter`
+//! for bare-metal MCUs.
+//!
+//! # Buffer Implementation
+//!
+//! Buffers use `Rc<RefCell<…>>` instead of atomics — zero-overhead for the
+//! single-threaded browser environment. All three buffer types are supported:
+//! SPMC Ring, SingleLatest, and Mailbox.
+//!
+//! # Feature Flags
+//!
+//! - `wasm-runtime` (default) — Enables WASM bindings (`wasm-bindgen`,
+//!   `js-sys`, `web-sys`). Disable for native-target unit tests.

+# Design: AimDB WASM Adapter
+
+**Status:** 📋 Proposed  
+**Milestone:** M12 — Browser Runtime  
+**Revision:** 1 (2026-02-27)  
+**Crate:** `aimdb-wasm-adapter` (open source, `aimdb` workspace)
+
+---
+
+## 1. Summary
+
+Add a third runtime adapter (`aimdb-wasm-adapter`) that compiles AimDB to
+WebAssembly, enabling the **full dataflow engine** to run inside a web browser
+or any WASM host. Records, buffers, producers, consumers, and data-contract
+enforcement all execute natively in WASM — eliminating the need for a parallel
+validation layer (Zod, JSON Schema) on the TypeScript side.
+
+This completes the platform matrix:
+
+| Target | Adapter | Buffer Primitive | Spawn Mechanism |
+|--------|---------|------------------|-----------------|
+| MCU | `aimdb-embassy-adapter` | `embassy-sync` channels | Static task pool |
+| Edge / Cloud | `aimdb-tokio-adapter` | `tokio::sync` channels | `tokio::spawn` |
+| **Browser** | **`aimdb-wasm-adapter`** | **`Rc<RefCell<…>>`** | **`spawn_local`** |
+
+---
+
+## 2. Motivation
+
+### 2.1 Problem: The Validation Gap
+
+Today the TypeScript UI (`aimdb-ui`) consumes data from the WebSocket connector
+with **zero runtime validation**. The defence layers are:
+
+1. **ts-rs** generates TypeScript type definitions from Rust structs →
+   compile-time only, erased at runtime.
+2. **schema-registry.ts** exports Observable metadata (icons, units) →
+   informational, not enforced.
+3. `useWebSocketConnection.ts` does `JSON.parse(event.data)` and passes the
+   result straight to React state → **any malformed message silently corrupts
+   the UI**.
+
+Approaches like Zod codegen would add runtime validation, but create a
+**parallel type system** that must be kept in sync with the Rust source of
+truth — the exact problem data contracts were designed to eliminate.
+
+### 2.2 Solution: Run the Real Engine in the Browser
+
+A WASM adapter means:
+
+- **Contract enforcement is native** — the same `serde` deserialization and
+  `Migratable` migration logic that runs on the server runs in the browser.
+- **No parallel type system** — Rust structs compiled to WASM _are_ the
+  validation layer. `wasm-bindgen` / `serde-wasm-bindgen` handle the
+  Rust ↔ JS boundary.
+- **Full buffer semantics** — SPMC Ring, SingleLatest, Mailbox work identically.
+  The browser can run producers, consumers, and transforms locally.
+- **Offline-first capability** — a local AimDB instance persists state even
+  when the WebSocket connection is lost.
+- **Two-way sync** — a browser AimDB can connect to the server's WebSocket
+  connector as a client, receiving and sending records through the standard
+  `link_from` / `link_to` mechanism.
+
+### 2.3 Non-Goals (v1)
+
+- **`wasm32-wasi` support** — target is `wasm32-unknown-unknown` (browser).
+  WASI can be added later with its own feature flag.
+- **SharedArrayBuffer / multi-threaded WASM** — v1 is single-threaded only,
+  matching the Embassy pattern.
+- **Persistence backend for WASM** — IndexedDB integration is a separate
+  design. v1 uses in-memory buffers only.
+- **Web Worker offloading** — all execution happens on the main thread. Worker
+  support is a future optimisation.

+
+## 4. Trait Implementations
+
+### 4.1 The `Send + Sync` Question
+
+Every executor trait requires `Send + Sync` (inherited from `RuntimeAdapter`).
+WASM (`wasm32-unknown-unknown`) is single-threaded — there are no data races
+by construction. This is the **identical situation** as Embassy on bare-metal
+MCUs, and the same solution applies:
+
+```rust
+pub struct WasmAdapter;
+
+// SAFETY: wasm32-unknown-unknown is single-threaded.
+// No concurrent access is possible — Send + Sync are trivially satisfied.
+unsafe impl Send for WasmAdapter {}
+unsafe impl Sync for WasmAdapter {}
+```
+
+This pattern is established — Embassy has used it since day one:
+```rust
+// aimdb-embassy-adapter/src/runtime.rs:
+unsafe impl Send for EmbassyAdapter {}
+unsafe impl Sync for EmbassyAdapter {}
+```
+
+The same `unsafe impl` applies to `WasmBuffer<T>` internals (which use
+`Rc<RefCell<…>>`, normally `!Send`), justified by the single-threaded
+execution model.
+
+### 4.2 `RuntimeAdapter`
+
+```rust
+impl RuntimeAdapter for WasmAdapter {
+    fn runtime_name() -> &'static str { "wasm" }
+}
+```
+
+### 4.3 `Spawn`
+
+WASM has no thread pool. `wasm_bindgen_futures::spawn_local` schedules a
+`Future` on the browser's microtask queue. This is analogous to Embassy's
+static task pool — fire-and-forget, no join handle.
+
+```rust
+impl Spawn for WasmAdapter {
+    type SpawnToken = ();  // Same as Embassy — no join handle
+
+    fn spawn<F>(&self, future: F) -> ExecutorResult<()>
+    where
+        F: Future<Output = ()> + Send + 'static,
+    {
+        wasm_bindgen_futures::spawn_local(future);
+        Ok(())
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`spawn_local` requires `F: 'static` but **not** `F: Send`. The `Send` bound
+on the trait is satisfied vacuously — all types are effectively `Send` in a
+single-threaded context.
+
+### 4.4 `TimeOps`
+
+Browser time is floating-point milliseconds from `Performance.now()`, with
+`setTimeout` for sleeping. We define lightweight wrappers:
+
+```rust
+/// Milliseconds since page load (from Performance.now())
+#[derive(Clone, Debug)]
+pub struct WasmInstant(f64);
+
+/// Duration in milliseconds
+#[derive(Clone, Debug)]
+pub struct WasmDuration(f64);
+
+// SAFETY: single-threaded — no concurrent access possible
+unsafe impl Send for WasmInstant {}
+unsafe impl Sync for WasmInstant {}
+unsafe impl Send for WasmDuration {}
+unsafe impl Sync for WasmDuration {}
+
+impl TimeOps for WasmAdapter {
+    type Instant = WasmInstant;
+    type Duration = WasmDuration;
+
+    fn now(&self) -> WasmInstant {
+        let perf = web_sys::window()
+            .expect("no window")
+            .performance()
+            .expect("no performance API");
+        WasmInstant(perf.now())
+    }
+
+    fn duration_since(&self, later: WasmInstant, earlier: WasmInstant) -> Option<WasmDuration> {
+        let diff = later.0 - earlier.0;
+        if diff >= 0.0 { Some(WasmDuration(diff)) } else { None }
+    }
+
+    fn millis(&self, ms: u64) -> WasmDuration { WasmDuration(ms as f64) }
+    fn secs(&self, s: u64) -> WasmDuration { WasmDuration(s as f64 * 1000.0) }
+    fn micros(&self, us: u64) -> WasmDuration { WasmDuration(us as f64 / 1000.0) }
+
+    fn sleep(&self, duration: WasmDuration) -> impl Future<Output = ()> + Send {
+        // Convert setTimeout Promise to a Rust Future.
+        // setTimeout never rejects, so the Ok/Err result is safe to discard.
+        wasm_bindgen_futures::JsFuture::from(js_sys::Promise::new(
+            &mut |resolve, _| {
+                web_sys::window()
+                    .unwrap()
+                    .set_timeout_with_callback_and_timeout_and_arguments_0(
+                        &resolve,
+                        duration.0 as i32,
+                    )
+                    .unwrap();
+            },
+        ))
+        .map(|_result| ())
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 4.5 `Logger`
+
+Maps directly to the browser console:
+
+```rust
+impl Logger for WasmAdapter {
+    fn info(&self, message: &str)  { web_sys::console::log_1(&message.into()); }
+    fn debug(&self, message: &str) { web_sys::console::debug_1(&message.into()); }
+    fn warn(&self, message: &str)  { web_sys::console::warn_1(&message.into()); }
+    fn error(&self, message: &str) { web_sys::console::error_1(&message.into()); }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Buffer Implementation
+
+### 5.1 Design Rationale
+
+| Approach | Pros | Cons |
+|----------|------|------|
+| Port `tokio::sync` channels | Feature-complete, metrics | Pulls in atomic ops, oversized for single thread |
+| Use `futures::channel::mpsc` | Well-tested, async-ready | Extra dependency, `Sender` is `!Sync` |
+| **`Rc<RefCell<…>>` + `Waker`** | **Zero-cost single-threaded, no atomics, no deps** | **Must `unsafe impl Send + Sync`** |
+| Reuse Embassy buffer | Proven no_std pattern | Pulls in `embassy-sync`, const generics infect public API |
+
+**Decision: `Rc<RefCell<…>>` + Waker.** This matches the browser's
+single-threaded model perfectly. No atomic operations, no mutex overhead, no
+dependency on `embassy-sync` or `futures`. The buffers are simple, auditable,
+and fast.
+
+### 5.2 Buffer Types
+
+```rust
+pub struct WasmBuffer<T> {
+    inner: Rc<RefCell<WasmBufferInner<T>>>,
+}
+
+enum WasmBufferInner<T> {
+    /// Bounded ring buffer with independent consumer cursors
+    SpmcRing {
+        ring: VecDeque<T>,
+        capacity: usize,
+        /// Each subscriber gets a cursor index
+        subscribers: Vec<Weak<RefCell<SpmcCursor<T>>>>,
+        wakers: Vec<Waker>,
+    },
+    /// Only the latest value, skip intermediates
+    SingleLatest {
+        value: Option<T>,
+        version: u64,
+        wakers: Vec<Waker>,
+    },
+    /// Single slot, overwrite semantics
+    Mailbox {
+        slot: Option<T>,
+        wakers: Vec<Waker>,
+    },
+}
+
+// SAFETY: wasm32 is single-threaded — Rc<RefCell<…>> cannot be accessed concurrently
+unsafe impl<T> Send for WasmBuffer<T> {}
+unsafe impl<T> Sync for WasmBuffer<T> {}
+```
+
+### 5.3 Reader Implementation
+
+Readers implement `BufferReader<T>` by returning a `Future` that either
+resolves immediately (data available) or registers a `Waker` and returns
+`Poll::Pending`. When `push()` is called on the buffer, all registered
+wakers are woken, continuing the reader futures on the next microtask.
+
+```rust
+pub struct WasmBufferReader<T> {
+    buffer: Rc<RefCell<WasmBufferInner<T>>>,
+    // Reader-specific state (cursor for SpmcRing, version for SingleLatest)
+    state: ReaderState,
+}
+
+// SAFETY: wasm32 is single-threaded — no concurrent access possible
+unsafe impl<T> Send for WasmBufferReader<T> {}
+unsafe impl<T> Sync for WasmBufferReader<T> {}
+```
+
+### 5.4 Macro Invocation
+
+```rust
+aimdb_core::impl_record_registrar_ext! {
+    WasmRecordRegistrarExt,
+    WasmAdapter,
+    WasmBuffer,
+    "wasm-runtime",
+    |cfg| WasmBuffer::<T>::new(cfg)
+}
+```
+
+This generates `buffer()`, `source()`, `tap()`, `transform()`, and
+`transform_join()` methods — identical API surface to Tokio and Embassy.
+
+---
+
+## 6. TypeScript Bindings (`#[wasm_bindgen]`)
+
+### 6.1 Design Principle
+
+Expose a **high-level facade** to TypeScript, not the raw Rust builder pattern.
+JavaScript users should not deal with `Arc`, `RecordRegistrar`, or feature
+flags. The facade wraps the Rust API and handles `JsValue` ↔ Rust conversion
+via `serde-wasm-bindgen`.
+
+### 6.2 Core API
+
+```typescript
+// ── Instantiation ──────────────────────────────────────────────
+import { WasmDb } from '@aimdb/wasm';
+
+const db = new WasmDb();
+
+// ── Record configuration (key = RecordKey, schemaType = contract) ──
+db.configureRecord('sensors.temperature.vienna', {
+  schemaType: 'temperature',        // selects the Rust struct for validation
+  buffer: 'SingleLatest',           // or { type: 'SpmcRing', capacity: 100 }
+});
+
+db.configureRecord('sensors.temperature.berlin', {
+  schemaType: 'temperature',        // same contract, different record
+  buffer: 'SingleLatest',
+});
+
+// ── Read (validated by Rust serde) ─────────────────────────────
+const temp = await db.get('sensors.temperature.vienna');
+// temp: { celsius: number, timestamp: number } — or null if not yet produced
+
+// ── Write (validated by Rust serde) ─────────────────────────────
+db.set('sensors.temperature.vienna', { celsius: 22.5, timestamp: Date.now() });
+// throws if payload fails Rust deserialization → contract enforcement
+
+// ── Subscribe (reactive) ───────────────────────────────────────
+const unsub = db.subscribe('sensors.temperature.vienna', (value) => {
+  // Fires on every buffer push — value is already validated
+  console.log(value.celsius);
+});
+unsub(); // cleanup
+
+// ── Lifecycle ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
+db.free();  // Release WASM memory
+```
+
+### 6.3 Rust-Side Binding Implementation
+
+```rust
+#[wasm_bindgen]
+pub struct WasmDb {
+    inner: AimDb<WasmAdapter>,
+}
+
+#[wasm_bindgen]
+impl WasmDb {
+    #[wasm_bindgen(constructor)]
+    pub fn new() -> Result<WasmDb, JsError> {
+        let adapter = WasmAdapter;
+        let db = AimDbBuilder::new()
+            .runtime(Arc::new(adapter))
+            .build()?;
+        Ok(WasmDb { inner: db })
+    }
+
+    /// Get the current value of a record by its RecordKey (returns JsValue or undefined)
+    pub fn get(&self, record_key: &str) -> Result<JsValue, JsError> {
+        // Uses AimDb key lookup + serde_wasm_bindgen::to_value
+        ...
+    }
+
+    /// Set a record value by its RecordKey (validates via Rust serde deserialization)
+    pub fn set(&self, record_key: &str, value: JsValue) -> Result<(), JsError> {
+        // serde_wasm_bindgen::from_value → T, then push to buffer
+        // If deserialization fails → JsError with contract violation message
+        ...
+    }
+
+    /// Subscribe to record updates by RecordKey — returns a closure to unsubscribe
+    pub fn subscribe(
+        &self,
+        record_key: &str,
+        callback: js_sys::Function,
+    ) -> Result<JsValue, JsError> {
+        // Creates a BufferReader, spawns a loop that calls callback on each recv()
+        // Returns a JS function that aborts the loop
+        ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 6.4 Record Registration by Key
+
+Records are identified by their **`RecordKey`** — the same string used
+throughout AimDB (e.g. `"sensors.temperature.vienna"`). The key uniquely
+identifies a record *instance*, while the schema type (from
+`SchemaType::NAME`) identifies the *contract*. Multiple records can share
+the same contract type.
+
+**Strategy A: Pre-compiled contract registry (recommended for v1)**
+
+All known data contracts from `aimdb-data-contracts` are compiled into the
+WASM module. The `configureRecord()` call takes a record key and a schema
+type name — the key is used as the AimDB `RecordKey`, and the type name
+selects the Rust struct for serde validation:
+
+```typescript
+// Record key = AimDB RecordKey, schemaType = SchemaType::NAME
+db.configureRecord('sensors.temperature.vienna', {
+  schemaType: 'temperature',          // selects Temperature struct for validation
+  buffer: 'SingleLatest',
+});
+
+db.configureRecord('sensors.temperature.berlin', {
+  schemaType: 'temperature',          // same contract, different record
+  buffer: { type: 'SpmcRing', capacity: 50 },
+});
+
+db.configureRecord('sensors.humidity.vienna', {
+  schemaType: 'humidity',
+  buffer: 'SingleLatest',
+});
+```
+
+Rust-side dispatch uses `SchemaType::NAME` to select the concrete type,
+and the record key as the `StringKey` for AimDB's `configure()`:
+
+```rust
+/// Register a record by key + schema type name.
+/// The key becomes the AimDB RecordKey; the schema type selects the Rust struct.
+fn configure_record(
+    db: &mut AimDbBuilder<WasmAdapter>,
+    record_key: &str,
+    schema_type: &str,
+    cfg: BufferCfg,
+) -> Result<(), JsError> {
+    let key = StringKey::intern(record_key.to_string());
+    match schema_type {
+        Temperature::NAME => db.configure::<Temperature>(key, |reg| {
+            reg.buffer(cfg.clone());
+        }),
+        Humidity::NAME => db.configure::<Humidity>(key, |reg| {
+            reg.buffer(cfg.clone());
+        }),
+        GpsLocation::NAME => db.configure::<GpsLocation>(key, |reg| {
+            reg.buffer(cfg);
+        }),
+        _ => return Err(JsError::new(&format!("Unknown schema type: {schema_type}"))),
+    };
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+This means `get()`, `set()`, and `subscribe()` all use the record key:
+
+```typescript
+db.set('sensors.temperature.vienna', { celsius: 22.5, timestamp: Date.now() });
+const temp = await db.get('sensors.temperature.vienna');
+db.subscribe('sensors.temperature.vienna', (value) => { ... });
+```
+
+**Strategy B: Dynamic JSON records (future)**
+
+Register records with a JSON Schema at runtime, validated against
+`serde_json::Value`. No compile-time Rust struct needed. This requires
+the `DynRecord` concept tracked separately.
+
+### 6.5 React Integration
+
+For `aimdb-ui`, provide a thin React hook wrapping the WASM API.
+The hook takes a **record key** (the AimDB `RecordKey` string):
+
+```typescript
+// useAimDb.ts — library code, ships with @aimdb/wasm npm package
+import { WasmDb } from '@aimdb/wasm';
+
+const dbInstance = new WasmDb();
+
+/**
+ * Subscribe to a record by its AimDB RecordKey.
+ * Returns the current value (validated by Rust serde) or null.
+ */
+export function useRecord<T>(recordKey: string): T | null {
+  const [value, setValue] = useState<T | null>(null);
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const unsub = dbInstance.subscribe(recordKey, (v: T) => setValue(v));
+    return () => unsub();
+  }, [recordKey]);
+
+  return value;
+}
+
+// Usage in component — record key follows AimDB naming convention:
+function TemperatureCard({ city }: { city: string }) {
+  const temp = useRecord<Temperature>(`sensors.temperature.${city}`);
+  if (!temp) return <Skeleton />;
+  return <span>{temp.celsius}°C</span>;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. WebSocket Sync Strategy
+
+### 7.1 Operational Modes
+
+The WASM adapter supports three operational modes. The mode is selected at
+instantiation and determines whether the browser AimDB instance runs
+standalone, connects to a server, or gracefully transitions between both.
+
+---
+
+#### Mode 1: Local-only
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────┐
+│           Browser Tab            │
+│                                  │
+│  ┌───────────┐  ┌────────────┐  │
+│  │  aimdb-ui  │→│ AimDB WASM │  │
+│  │  (React)   │←│  (local)   │  │
+│  └───────────┘  └────────────┘  │
+│                                  │
+│  Records produced & consumed     │
+│  entirely within the browser.    │
+└─────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+AimDB runs entirely in the browser with no network dependency. Records are
+configured, produced, and consumed locally using the same buffer semantics
+(SPMC Ring, SingleLatest, Mailbox) as server-side deployments.
+
+**Use cases:**
+- **Demos & marketing pages** — show live AimDB behaviour without a backend.
+  Simulated data can be produced via `source()` using `Simulatable` contracts.
+- **Unit / integration testing** — `aimdb-ui` components can be tested against
+  a real (local) AimDB instance in `vitest` / `wasm-bindgen-test`, replacing
+  mock data with contract-validated records.
+- **Offline-capable apps** — sensors write data locally (e.g. via Web
+  Bluetooth or manual entry); the UI reacts through subscriptions.
+- **Prototyping** — experiment with record schemas, buffer configurations,
+  and transforms without deploying a server.
+
+**TypeScript API:**
+
+```typescript
+import { WasmDb } from '@aimdb/wasm';
+
+const db = new WasmDb();  // no server URL → local-only
+
+db.configureRecord('sensors.temperature.indoor', {
+  schemaType: 'temperature',
+  buffer: 'SingleLatest',
+});
+
+// Produce locally (e.g. from a BLE sensor, manual input, or simulation)
+db.set('sensors.temperature.indoor', { celsius: 22.5, timestamp: Date.now() });
+
+// Subscribe — fires immediately since the buffer has a value
+db.subscribe('sensors.temperature.indoor', (temp) => {
+  console.log(temp.celsius);  // 22.5
+});
+```
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- Zero network I/O — no WebSocket, no HTTP.
+- Full contract enforcement — `set()` validates via Rust serde.
+- All buffer types available — SPMC Ring for history, SingleLatest for
+  current-value dashboards, Mailbox for commands.
+- `source()` / `tap()` / `transform()` work natively — can run local
+  dataflow pipelines in the browser.
+
+---
+
+#### Mode 2: Synchronized

+```
+
+The browser AimDB instance connects to the server's WebSocket connector
+via `WsBridge`. Server records are mirrored into local buffers. UI components
+subscribe to local records — they never interact with the WebSocket directly.
+
+**Use cases:**
+- **Production dashboards** — `aimdb-ui` receives live sensor data from the
+  server's MQTT/KNX mesh via the WebSocket connector, with contract
+  validation at the WASM boundary before data reaches React.
+- **Control panels** — the user writes a setpoint or config record locally;
+  `WsBridge` forwards the `write` ClientMessage to the server, which routes
+  it to MQTT/KNX via `link_from("ws://…")`.
+- **Multi-tab consistency** — each browser tab runs its own AimDB WASM
+  instance, each with its own `WsBridge` connection. The server is the
+  single source of truth; tabs converge via late-join snapshots.
+
+**TypeScript API:**
+
+```typescript
+import { WasmDb, WsBridge } from '@aimdb/wasm';
+
+const db = new WasmDb();
+
+// Configure records matching the server's outbound topics
+db.configureRecord('sensors.temperature.vienna', {
+  schemaType: 'temperature',
+  buffer: 'SingleLatest',
+});
+db.configureRecord('sensors.humidity.vienna', {
+  schemaType: 'humidity',
+  buffer: 'SingleLatest',
+});
+
+// Connect to the server's WebSocket connector
+const bridge = WsBridge.connect(db, 'wss://api.cloud.aimdb.dev/ws', {
+  subscribeTopics: ['sensors/#'],   // MQTT-style wildcard patterns
+  autoReconnect: true,              // reconnect with exponential backoff
+  lateJoin: true,                   // request snapshots on (re)connect
+});
+
+// Subscribe to local records — updated by WsBridge from server push
+db.subscribe('sensors.temperature.vienna', (temp) => {
+  console.log(temp.celsius);  // pushed from server → local buffer → callback
+});
+
+// Write travels: local buffer → WsBridge → server → MQTT/KNX
+db.set('commands.setpoint.room1', { target_celsius: 21.0, timestamp: Date.now() });
+
+// Lifecycle
+bridge.disconnect();
+db.free();
+```
+
+**Data flow — server → browser:**
+
+1. Server AimDB produces a `Temperature` record (e.g. from MQTT inbound).
+2. The outbound `link_to("ws://sensors/temperature/vienna")` triggers the
+   WS connector's `broadcast()`.
+3. `ServerMessage::Data { topic, payload, ts }` is sent over WebSocket.
+4. `WsBridge.on_message` receives the JSON frame, dispatches by `topic`.
+5. The bridge resolves the `topic` to a local `RecordKey`, deserializes the
+   `payload` via the record's contract type (Rust serde — this is where
+   contract enforcement happens), and pushes to the local `WasmBuffer`.
+6. React components subscribed via `useRecord()` re-render with the
+   validated value.
+
+**Data flow — browser → server:**
+
+1. UI calls `db.set('commands.setpoint.room1', { ... })`.
+2. The local buffer receives the value (contract-validated by serde).
+3. `WsBridge` detects the local write (via a `tap()` on the record) and
+   sends a `ClientMessage::Write { topic, payload }` over WebSocket.
+4. Server's WS connector routes it through the standard `Router` — same
+   path as any `link_from("ws://…")` record.
+5. The server pushes it to MQTT, KNX, persistence, or another AimDB record
+   — depending on the server-side configuration.
+
+**Resilience:**
+- **Reconnection**: Exponential backoff (default: 500ms → 1s → 2s → 4s →
+  8s), matching the current `useWebSocketConnection.ts` strategy.
+- **Late-join**: On reconnect, the bridge sends `ClientMessage::Subscribe`
+  which triggers server-side `snapshot` responses for each topic —
+  re-seeding local buffers with current values.
+- **Offline writes**: Writes during disconnection are buffered locally.
+  On reconnect, the bridge flushes pending writes to the server (FIFO).
+  Buffer capacity is configurable; overflow policy matches the buffer type
+  (drop oldest for SPMC Ring, overwrite for SingleLatest/Mailbox).
+

+
+#### Mode 3: Hybrid (offline-first with sync)
+

+│  Local records always available. │
+│  Server sync when possible.      │
+└─────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+Hybrid mode combines Modes 1 and 2. The browser AimDB always has local
+records, and the `WsBridge` connects to the server when available. If the
+server is unreachable, the UI continues working with locally buffered data.
+When the connection is restored, it re-syncs via late-join snapshots.
+
+**Use cases:**
+- **Field worker apps** — a technician configures HVAC setpoints on a
+  tablet. Changes apply locally immediately (local buffer → UI update) and
+  sync to the server when connectivity returns.
+- **Progressive web apps (PWAs)** — the app is installable and works offline.
+  Sensor readings cached in local buffers are available for review even
+  without a network connection.
+- **Unreliable networks** — edge deployments with intermittent
+  connectivity (construction sites, industrial floors, rural IoT).
+
+**TypeScript API:**
+
+```typescript
+import { WasmDb, WsBridge } from '@aimdb/wasm';
+
+const db = new WasmDb();
+
+db.configureRecord('sensors.temperature.vienna', {
+  schemaType: 'temperature',
+  buffer: { type: 'SpmcRing', capacity: 200 },  // keep history locally
+});
+
+// WsBridge attempts connection immediately but doesn't block
+const bridge = WsBridge.connect(db, 'wss://api.cloud.aimdb.dev/ws', {
+  subscribeTopics: ['sensors/#'],
+  autoReconnect: true,
+  lateJoin: true,
+});
+
+// This works immediately — even before / without server connection
+db.subscribe('sensors.temperature.vienna', (temp) => {
+  renderDashboard(temp);
+});
+
+// Connection status is observable
+bridge.onStatusChange((status) => {
+  // status: 'connecting' | 'connected' | 'disconnected' | 'reconnecting'
+  updateConnectionIndicator(status);
+});
+```
+
+**State transitions:**
+
+```
+                    ┌───────────┐  connected   ┌───────────┐
+         ┌────────►│ connecting ├─────────────►│ connected │

+         └─────────┤ disconnected  │◄─────────┤ reconnecting │

+                                                  │     │
+                                                  └─────┘
+                                                  backoff
+```
+
+While `disconnected` or `reconnecting`, the local AimDB instance keeps
+functioning. Subscriptions fire on local writes, transforms execute, and
+the UI remains interactive. The only difference is that no server data
+arrives and outbound writes are queued.
+
+---
+
+#### Mode Selection Summary
+
+| | Mode 1: Local | Mode 2: Synced | Mode 3: Hybrid |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Network** | None | Required | Optional |
+| **Server dependency** | None | Hard | Soft (graceful degradation) |
+| **Contract enforcement** | Local serde | Local serde + server serde | Local serde + server serde when connected |
+| **Offline writes** | Always works | Fails if disconnected | Queued, flushed on reconnect |
+| **Late-join** | N/A | On connect | On connect / reconnect |
+| **Data source** | Local `set()` / `source()` | Server push via `WsBridge` | Both |
+| **Typical use** | Demos, tests, offline apps | Production dashboards | Field apps, PWAs, unreliable networks |
+| **API** | `new WasmDb()` | `new WasmDb()` + `WsBridge.connect(db, url)` | Same as Mode 2 (degrades automatically) |
+
+The API is incremental: every app starts as Mode 1 by constructing `WasmDb`.
+Adding `WsBridge.connect()` upgrades to Mode 2 or 3 depending on the
+network — no code change needed to handle offline fallback.
+
+### 7.2 `WsBridge` Implementation
+
+The bridge is the Rust-side component behind Modes 2 and 3. It wraps
+`web_sys::WebSocket` and maps the server's wire protocol to local buffer
+operations:
+
+```rust
+pub struct WsBridge {
+    ws: web_sys::WebSocket,
+    db: Rc<WasmDb>,          // Shared — caller retains access for get/set/subscribe
+    config: BridgeConfig,
+    state: Rc<RefCell<BridgeState>>,
+}
+
+pub struct BridgeConfig {
+    pub url: String,
+    pub subscribe_topics: Vec<String>,       // MQTT wildcard patterns
+    pub auto_reconnect: bool,
+    pub late_join: bool,
+    pub max_offline_queue: usize,            // pending writes while disconnected
+    pub backoff: Vec<u32>,                   // ms: [500, 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000]
+}
+
+struct BridgeState {
+    status: ConnectionStatus,
+    pending_writes: VecDeque<ClientMessage>,  // queued during disconnect
+    backoff_index: usize,
+}
+```
+
+The bridge hooks into browser WebSocket callbacks:
+
+- **`on_open`** — sends `ClientMessage::Subscribe { topics }` to begin
+  receiving data. Flushes any queued writes from `pending_writes`.
+- **`on_message`** — parses `ServerMessage`, dispatches by variant:
+  - `Data { topic, payload, ts }` / `Snapshot { topic, payload }` →
+    resolves `topic` to a `RecordKey`, deserializes `payload` via the
+    record's contract type, pushes to local `WasmBuffer`.
+  - `Subscribed { topics }` → log/event for UI connection indicator.
+  - `Error { code, topic, message }` → log to console; surface via
+    `bridge.onError()` callback if registered.
+- **`on_close`** — transition to `reconnecting`, schedule `setTimeout`
+  with backoff, retry.
+- **`on_error`** — ignored (the `close` event always follows).
+
+Topic-to-RecordKey resolution uses the same mapping established during
+`configureRecord()`. If a `data` message arrives for an unknown topic,
+it is logged and discarded (no panic).
+
+### 7.3 Wire Protocol Compatibility
+
+The bridge speaks the exact protocol defined in
+`aimdb-websocket-connector/src/protocol.rs`:
+
+| Direction | Message | Bridge Behaviour |
+|-----------|---------|------------------|
+| Server → Client | `data` | Deserialize payload → push to local buffer |
+| Server → Client | `snapshot` | Same as `data` (late-join seed) |
+| Server → Client | `subscribed` | Emit `onStatusChange('connected')` |
+| Server → Client | `error` | Log + invoke error callback |
+| Server → Client | `pong` | Reset keepalive timer |
+| Client → Server | `subscribe` | Sent on connect with `config.subscribe_topics` |
+| Client → Server | `unsubscribe` | Sent on `bridge.unsubscribe(topics)` |
+| Client → Server | `write` | Sent when local record is written (via tap) |
+| Client → Server | `ping` | Periodic keepalive (default: 30s) |
+
+No custom protocol extensions are needed — the WASM adapter is a standard
+WebSocket connector client.

+## 8. Build & Packaging
+
+### 8.1 Build Toolchain
+
+```bash
+# Install
+rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
+cargo install wasm-pack
+
+# Build
+cd aimdb-wasm-adapter
+wasm-pack build --target web --out-dir pkg
+
+# Output:
+# pkg/aimdb_wasm_adapter.js      (JS glue)
+# pkg/aimdb_wasm_adapter_bg.wasm (WASM binary)
+# pkg/aimdb_wasm_adapter.d.ts    (TypeScript declarations)
+# pkg/package.json               (npm-publishable)
+```
+
+### 8.2 npm Distribution
+
+`wasm-pack` generates a ready-to-publish npm package. In `aimdb-ui`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "dependencies": {
+    "aimdb-wasm": "file:../../aimdb/aimdb-wasm-adapter/pkg"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Or published to npm as `@aimdb/wasm` (preferred — see Open Question #4).
+
+### 8.3 Bundle Size Budget
+
+| Component | Estimated Size (gzipped) |
+|-----------|--------------------------|
+| WASM binary (core + 3 contracts + buffers) | ~80–120 KB |
+| JS glue (wasm-bindgen) | ~5 KB |
+| `serde_json` in WASM | ~30 KB |
+| **Total** | **~115–155 KB** |
+
+For comparison: Zod (~13 KB) + manual schema code (~5 KB) = ~18 KB, but
+provides only validation — no buffers, no sync, no migration, no offline.
+
+### 8.4 Makefile Integration
+
+```makefile
+# Addition to /aimdb_ws/aimdb/Makefile
+
+.PHONY: wasm
+wasm:  ## Build WASM adapter
+	cd aimdb-wasm-adapter && wasm-pack build --target web --out-dir pkg
+
+.PHONY: wasm-test
+wasm-test:  ## Run WASM tests in headless browser
+	cd aimdb-wasm-adapter && wasm-pack test --headless --chrome
+```
+
+---
+
+## 9. Testing Strategy
+
+### 9.1 Unit Tests (Rust, native target)
+
+Buffer logic, time conversion, and record configuration run as normal Rust
+tests (`cargo test -p aimdb-wasm-adapter`). The `Send + Sync` unsafe impls
+are excluded — these only matter under the `wasm32` target.
+
+### 9.2 WASM Integration Tests
+
+Use `wasm-bindgen-test` with a headless browser:
+
+```rust
+#[cfg(target_arch = "wasm32")]
+mod wasm_tests {
+    use wasm_bindgen_test::*;
+    wasm_bindgen_test_configure!(run_in_browser);
+
+    #[wasm_bindgen_test]
+    async fn test_buffer_push_subscribe() {
+        let db = WasmDb::new().unwrap();
+        db.configure_record(
+            "sensors.temperature.test",
+            &serde_wasm_bindgen::to_value(&serde_json::json!({
+                "schemaType": "temperature",
+                "buffer": "SingleLatest"
+            })).unwrap(),
+        ).unwrap();
+
+        let (tx, rx) = futures::channel::oneshot::channel();
+        let cb = Closure::once(move |val: JsValue| { tx.send(val).unwrap(); });
+        db.subscribe("sensors.temperature.test", cb.as_ref().unchecked_ref()).unwrap();
+
+        db.set("sensors.temperature.test", serde_wasm_bindgen::to_value(
+            &Temperature::new(22.5, 1234567890000)
+        ).unwrap()).unwrap();
+
+        let received = rx.await.unwrap();
+        let temp: Temperature = serde_wasm_bindgen::from_value(received).unwrap();
+        assert_eq!(temp.celsius, 22.5);
+    }
+
+    #[wasm_bindgen_test]
+    fn test_contract_enforcement_rejects_invalid() {
+        let db = WasmDb::new().unwrap();
+        db.configure_record(
+            "sensors.temperature.test",
+            &serde_wasm_bindgen::to_value(&serde_json::json!({
+                "schemaType": "temperature",
+                "buffer": "SingleLatest"
+            })).unwrap(),
+        ).unwrap();
+
+        // Missing required field → JsError
+        let bad = js_sys::Object::new();
+        js_sys::Reflect::set(&bad, &"celsius".into(), &22.5.into()).unwrap();
+        // Missing timestamp → deserialization fails
+        let result = db.set("sensors.temperature.test", bad.into());
+        assert!(result.is_err());
+    }
+
+    #[wasm_bindgen_test]
+    async fn test_sleep_resolves() {
+        let adapter = WasmAdapter;
+        let start = adapter.now();
+        adapter.sleep(adapter.millis(50)).await;
+        let elapsed = adapter.duration_since(adapter.now(), start).unwrap();
+        assert!(elapsed.0 >= 45.0); // Allow 5ms jitter
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 9.3 CI Integration
+
+Add to the `check` target in the Makefile and GitHub Actions:
+
+```yaml
+wasm-check:
+  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+  steps:
+    - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+    - uses: dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable
+      with:
+        targets: wasm32-unknown-unknown
+    - uses: nicolo-ribaudo/setup-wasm-pack@v1
+    - run: wasm-pack test --headless --chrome -- -p aimdb-wasm-adapter
+```
+
+---
+
+## 10. Migration Path for `aimdb-ui`
+
+### Phase 1: Drop-in Replacement (Low Risk)
+
+Keep the existing WebSocket hook architecture. Replace `JSON.parse` + blind
+cast with WASM-validated deserialization:
+
+```typescript
+// Before (useWebSocketConnection.ts)
+ws.onmessage = (event) => {
+  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);       // unvalidated
+  const normalized = normalizeMessage(data);  // manual shape check
+  onMessageRef.current(normalized);
+};
+
+// After
+import { validate } from '@aimdb/wasm';
+
+ws.onmessage = (event) => {
+  const result = validate(event.data);        // Rust serde in WASM
+  if (result.ok) {
+    onMessageRef.current(result.value);
+  } else {
+    console.warn('Contract violation:', result.error);
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Local DB Instance
+
+Replace the WebSocket hooks entirely. AimDB WASM manages the WebSocket
+connection, buffering, and reactive subscriptions:
+
+```typescript
+// Before: useWebSocket() → useWebSocketConnection() → manual state management
+// After:  useRecord() → AimDB WASM handles everything
+
+function Dashboard() {
+  const temp = useRecord<Temperature>('sensors.temperature.vienna');
+  const humidity = useRecord<Humidity>('sensors.humidity.vienna');
+  // Reactive, validated, offline-capable
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Full Bidirectional Sync
+
+Enable browser-to-server writes. The `WsBridge` manages the connection
+lifecycle including reconnection and late-join. The UI becomes a full
+AimDB node in the mesh:
+
+```
+MQTT Sensors → Server AimDB → WS Connector → Browser AimDB → React UI
+                                    ↑                  │
+                                    └──────────────────┘
+                                      (bidirectional)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 11. Risk Analysis
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|-----------|--------|------------|
+| `Send + Sync` unsoundness | Low | High | Single-threaded by construction; same pattern as Embassy; CI runs WASM tests with `wasm-bindgen-test` |
+| Bundle size too large | Medium | Medium | Feature-gate contracts; tree-shake unused types; consider `serde_json` alternatives (`miniserde`, `nanoserde`) |
+| `Performance.now()` precision | Low | Low | Only used for relative timing; sub-ms precision is sufficient |
+| Browser API unavailability (SSR) | Medium | Low | Feature-gate `web-sys` calls; provide no-op stubs for SSR/Node |
+| `spawn_local` backpressure | Medium | Medium | Buffer producers that yield; configurable channel capacity; drop-slow-consumer policy (same as server) |
+| WASM init async requirement | Low | Low | `wasm-bindgen` handles init; React `Suspense` for loading state |
+
+---
+
+## 12. Open Questions
+
+1. **Should `WasmBuffer` use dynamic sizing (Vec-backed) or const generics
+   (Embassy-style)?**
+   Recommendation: Dynamic. Browser has plentiful heap; const generics
+   complicate the JS API and provide no benefit without embedded memory
+   constraints.
+
+2. **Should the `WsBridge` reuse `aimdb-client` (AimX protocol) or speak
+   the WebSocket connector protocol directly?**
+   Recommendation: WebSocket connector protocol. `aimdb-client` uses Unix
+   sockets (not available in browsers). The WS connector protocol
+   (`ServerMessage`/`ClientMessage`) is JSON-based and designed for this.
+
+3. **How should schema registration work for user-defined contracts not in
+   `aimdb-data-contracts`?**
+   v1: Only pre-compiled contracts. v2: A `DynRecord` type backed by
+   `serde_json::Value` with optional JSON Schema validation.
+
+4. **npm package name: `aimdb-wasm` or `@aimdb/wasm`?**
+   Scoped name (`@aimdb/wasm`) is preferred if publishing to npm.
+
+---
+
+## 13. Implementation Plan
+
+| Phase | Scope | Effort |
+|-------|-------|--------|
+| **P1: Skeleton** | Crate scaffolding, `WasmAdapter` struct, unsafe Send/Sync, `RuntimeAdapter` + `Logger` impls, compiles to `wasm32-unknown-unknown` | 1 day |

+//! Streamable trait for data contracts that can cross serialization boundaries.
+//!
+//! Types implementing [`Streamable`] can be transported across WebSocket, WASM,
+//! and other wire boundaries with full contract enforcement (Rust serde
+//! deserialization at the receiving end).
+//!
+//! # Design
+//!
+//! `Streamable` is a *capability marker* — it combines [`SchemaType`] identity
+//! with the `serde` bounds needed for type-erased dispatch at serialization
+//! boundaries. The companion [`dispatch_streamable!`] macro centralises the
+//! schema-name → concrete-type routing so that consumers (WASM adapter,
+//! WebSocket bridge, CLI) never hardcode contract types.
+//!
+//! # Adding a new streamable contract
+//!
+//! 1. Define your struct with `Serialize + Deserialize` in `contracts/`.
+//! 2. Implement `SchemaType` (unique `NAME`).
+//! 3. `impl Streamable for MyType {}` in this module.
+//! 4. Add a match arm to [`dispatch_streamable!`].
+//!
+//! That's it — every consumer that uses the macro picks up the new type
+//! automatically.
+
+use crate::SchemaType;
+use core::fmt::Debug;
+use serde::{de::DeserializeOwned, Serialize};
+
+/// Data contracts that can be transported across serialization boundaries.
+///
+/// Implementing this trait signals that a contract type supports:
+/// - Type-erased JSON/`JsValue` serialization and deserialization
+/// - Registration in AimDB builders by schema name string
+/// - Cross-boundary dispatch (WASM bindings, WebSocket bridge, CLI)
+///
+/// # Bounds
+///
+/// The super-trait bounds mirror what AimDB's typed record APIs require:
+/// `Send + Sync + Clone + Debug + 'static` plus serde `Serialize` and
+/// `DeserializeOwned`. All standard data contracts satisfy these.
+///
+/// # Example
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// use aimdb_data_contracts::{SchemaType, Streamable};
+/// use aimdb_data_contracts::contracts::Temperature;
+///
+/// // Temperature implements Streamable — it can be used across boundaries
+/// fn assert_streamable<T: Streamable>() {}
+/// assert_streamable::<Temperature>();
+/// ```
+pub trait Streamable:
+    SchemaType + Serialize + DeserializeOwned + Send + Sync + Clone + Debug + 'static

+// Implementations for built-in contracts
+// ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+
+use crate::contracts::{GpsLocation, Humidity, Temperature};
+
+impl Streamable for Temperature {}
+impl Streamable for Humidity {}
+impl Streamable for GpsLocation {}
+
+/// Returns `true` if `name` matches a known [`Streamable`] contract's
+/// [`SchemaType::NAME`].
+///
+/// Useful for early validation before dispatch.
+pub fn is_streamable(name: &str) -> bool {
+    matches!(
+        name,
+        <Temperature as SchemaType>::NAME
+            | <Humidity as SchemaType>::NAME
+            | <GpsLocation as SchemaType>::NAME
+    )
+}
+
+/// Dispatch a schema type name to a typed code block.
+///
+/// Routes a runtime `&str` schema name to the concrete Rust type that
+/// implements [`Streamable`], then executes `$body` with `$T` bound to
+/// that type. Returns `Some(body_result)` on match, `None` if the schema
+/// name is unknown.
+///
+/// This is the **single source of truth** for the schema-name → type
+/// mapping — WASM bindings, WebSocket bridge, and other consumers all
+/// use this macro instead of maintaining their own tables.
+///
+/// # Usage
+///
+/// ```rust,ignore
+/// use aimdb_data_contracts::dispatch_streamable;
+///
+/// let result = dispatch_streamable!(schema_name, |T| {
+///     // `T` is the concrete type (Temperature, Humidity, GpsLocation, …)
+///     builder.configure::<T>(key, |reg| reg.buffer(cfg));
+/// })
+/// .ok_or_else(|| format!("Unknown schema: {schema_name}"))?;
+/// ```
+///
+/// # Adding a new contract
+///
+/// 1. `impl Streamable for NewType {}` (above)
+/// 2. Add a match arm here.

+//! WebSocket bridge connecting browser AimDB to a server instance.
+//!
+//! `WsBridge` wraps `web_sys::WebSocket` and speaks the same wire protocol as
+//! `aimdb-websocket-connector` (`ServerMessage` / `ClientMessage`). It maps
+//! incoming server data to local buffer pushes and forwards local writes to
+//! the server.
+//!
+//! # Modes
+//!
+//! - **Synchronized** — browser instance mirrors server records.
+//! - **Hybrid** — works offline with local records, syncs when connected.
+//!
+//! See design doc §7 for full details.

 | Edge / Cloud | `aimdb-tokio-adapter` | `tokio::sync` channels | `tokio::spawn` |
 | **Browser** | **`aimdb-wasm-adapter`** | **`Rc<RefCell<…>>`** | **`spawn_local`** |
 
-## Usage
-
-```rust
-use aimdb_wasm_adapter::WasmAdapter;
-use aimdb_core::{AimDbBuilder, buffer::BufferCfg};
-use std::sync::Arc;
-
-let adapter = WasmAdapter;
-let db = AimDbBuilder::new()
-    .runtime(Arc::new(adapter))
-    .build()
-    .unwrap();
+## Architecture
+
+The adapter is split into several focused modules:
+
+| Module | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `runtime.rs` | `WasmAdapter` — `RuntimeAdapter` + `Spawn` impl using `wasm_bindgen_futures::spawn_local` |
+| `time.rs` | `TimeOps` — `performance.now()` + `setTimeout`-based sleep via `gloo-timers` |
+| `logger.rs` | `Logger` — maps log levels to `console.log / debug / warn / error` |
+| `buffer.rs` | `WasmBuffer<T>` — SPMC Ring, SingleLatest, Mailbox on `Rc<RefCell<…>>` |
+| `bindings.rs` | `WasmDb` — `#[wasm_bindgen]` facade: `configureRecord`, `get`, `set`, `subscribe` |
+| `ws_bridge.rs` | `WsBridge` — WebSocket bridge to remote AimDB server (AimX wire protocol) |
+| `react/` | React hooks — `useRecord<T>`, `useSetRecord<T>`, `useBridge` |
+
+## JavaScript / TypeScript API
+
+### WasmDb
+
+```typescript
+import init, { WasmDb } from '@aimdb/wasm';
+
+await init();
+const db = new WasmDb();
+
+// Configure records with Rust data contracts
+db.configureRecord('sensors.temperature.vienna', {
+  schemaType: 'temperature',
+  buffer: 'SingleLatest',
+});
+
+await db.build();
+
+// Get (returns deserialized JS object validated by Rust serde)
+const temp = db.get('sensors.temperature.vienna');
+console.log(temp.celsius);
+
+// Set (Rust serde validates the payload)
+db.set('sensors.temperature.vienna', { celsius: 22.5, timestamp: Date.now() });
+
+// Subscribe (callback fires on every buffer push)
+const unsub = db.subscribe('sensors.temperature.vienna', (value) => {
+  console.log('New temperature:', value.celsius);
+});
 ```
 
+### WsBridge
+
+Connect the browser-local AimDB to a remote server:
+
+```typescript
+import { WsBridge } from '@aimdb/wasm';
+
+const bridge = WsBridge.connect(db, 'wss://api.example.com/ws', {
+  subscribeTopics: ['sensors/#'],
+  autoReconnect: true,
+  lateJoin: true,
+});
+
+bridge.onStatusChange((status) => {
+  console.log('Connection:', status); // 'Connected' | 'Reconnecting' | ...
+});
+
+bridge.write('commands.setpoint', { target: 21.0 });
+bridge.disconnect();
+```
+
+### React Hooks
+
+```tsx
+import { AimDbProvider, useRecord, useSetRecord, useBridge } from '@aimdb/wasm/react';
+
+function App() {
+  return (
+    <AimDbProvider config={{
+      records: [
+        { key: 'sensors.temperature.vienna', schemaType: 'temperature', buffer: 'SingleLatest' },
+      ],
+      bridge: { url: 'wss://api.example.com/ws', subscribeTopics: ['sensors/#'] },
+    }}>
+      <Dashboard />
+    </AimDbProvider>
+  );
+}
+
+function Dashboard() {
+  const temp = useRecord<Temperature>('sensors.temperature.vienna');
+  if (!temp) return <p>Loading…</p>;
+  return <span>{temp.celsius.toFixed(1)}°C</span>;
+}
+```
+
+**Available hooks:**
+
+| Hook | Returns | Purpose |
+|------|---------|---------|
+| `useRecord<T>(key)` | `T \| null` | Subscribe to record, re-render on updates |
+| `useSetRecord<T>(key)` | `(value: T) => void` | Write to record with contract validation |
+| `useAimDb()` | `WasmDb \| null` | Raw database access for advanced usage |
+| `useBridge()` | `WsBridge \| null` | Connection status and bridge control |
+
+## Data Contract Enforcement
+
+All `get` / `set` / `subscribe` calls go through the `Streamable` trait
+defined in `aimdb-data-contracts`. The `dispatch_streamable!` macro maps
+schema type names to Rust types and performs serde validation:
+
+```
+TypeScript value  →  serde_wasm_bindgen  →  Rust T: Streamable  →  buffer push
+```
+
+Adding a new contract requires only one change: implement `Streamable` for
+the new type in `aimdb-data-contracts` and add it to `dispatch_streamable!`.
+
 ## Build
 
 ```bash
-# Install target
+# Install dependencies
 rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
 cargo install wasm-pack
 
-# Build
+# Compile to WASM
 wasm-pack build --target web --out-dir pkg
 
-# Test
+# Run headless browser tests
 wasm-pack test --headless --chrome
 ```
 
+From the workspace root (`make` targets):
+
+```bash
+make wasm        # Build WASM adapter
+make wasm-test   # Run WASM tests
+make check       # Full workspace check (includes WASM)
+```
+
+## Feature Flags
+
+| Feature | Default | Purpose |
+|---------|---------|---------|
+| `wasm-runtime` | ✅ | Full browser runtime (bindings, WsBridge, web-sys) |
+| `alloc` | ✅ | Core buffer + record support (no_std compatible) |

Subject: [PATCH 16/46] feat: implement WebSocket client connector for AimDB

- Added `WsClientConnectorBuilder` for building WebSocket client connections.
- Implemented `WsClientConnectorImpl` to manage WebSocket connections, including inbound routing, outbound publishing, reconnection logic, and keepalive pings.
- Introduced shared wire protocol types in `aimdb-ws-protocol` for communication between clients and servers.
- Defined `ServerMessage` and `ClientMessage` enums for structured message handling.
- Implemented topic matching logic to support MQTT-style wildcards.
- Added tests for message serialization and topic matching functionality.

 //! First-class WebSocket connector for AimDB — real-time bidirectional streaming.
 //!
-//! Replaces the `tap()` + `tokio::sync::broadcast` workaround with a proper
-//! [`ConnectorBuilder<R>`][aimdb_core::ConnectorBuilder] implementation that
-//! integrates cleanly with the existing MQTT/KNX infrastructure.
+//! This crate provides two connector modes controlled by feature flags:
 //!
-//! ## Quick Start
+//! - **`server`** (default) — Accepts incoming WebSocket connections via an
+//!   Axum-based HTTP/WS server. Use `link_to("ws://topic")` to push data to
+//!   browser clients.
+//!
+//! - **`client`** — Connects *out* to a remote WebSocket server (powered by
+//!   `tokio-tungstenite`). Use `link_to("ws-client://host/topic")` and
+//!   `link_from("ws-client://host/topic")` for direct AimDB-to-AimDB sync
+//!   without an intermediary broker.
+//!

+//! # aimdb-ws-protocol
+//!
+//! Shared wire protocol types for the AimDB WebSocket connector ecosystem.
+//!
+//! This crate is `no_std + alloc` compatible so it can be used from:
+//!
+//! - **`aimdb-websocket-connector`** — the server side (Axum/Tokio)
+//! - **`aimdb-wasm-adapter`** — the browser client (`WsBridge`)
+//! - **Future native WS client** — Tokio/Embassy client connector
+//!
+//! # Wire Protocol
+//!
+//! All messages are JSON-encoded with a `"type"` discriminant tag:
+//!
+//! ## Server → Client ([`ServerMessage`])
+//!
+//! - `data` — live record push with timestamp
+//! - `snapshot` — late-join current value
+//! - `subscribed` — subscription acknowledgement
+//! - `error` — per-operation error
+//! - `pong` — response to client ping
+//!
+//! ## Client → Server ([`ClientMessage`])
+//!
+//! - `subscribe` — subscribe to one or more topics (supports MQTT wildcards)
+//! - `unsubscribe` — cancel subscriptions
+//! - `write` — inbound value for a `link_from("ws://…")` record
+//! - `ping` — keepalive ping
+//!
+//! # Topic Matching
+//!
+//! [`topic_matches`] implements MQTT-style wildcard matching (`#` for
+//! multi-level, `*` for single-level).

Subject: [PATCH 23/46] Refactor schema migration system: replace `Migratable`
 trait with `MigrationStep` and `MigrationChain` for type-safe, bidirectional
 migrations

- Updated `lib.rs` to expose new migration types and modify documentation accordingly.
- Enhanced `migratable.rs` with a new architecture for migration steps and chains, including detailed examples and improved error handling.
- Removed obsolete TypeScript export test and associated scripts, streamlining the codebase.

-//! Runtime schema migration support.
+//! Type-safe, bidirectional schema migration with compile-time chain validation.
 //!
-//! This module provides the `Migratable` trait for handling breaking schema
-//! changes at runtime through JSON transformation.
+//! This module provides an Alembic-inspired migration system where every version
+//! transition is a typed, bidirectional step between concrete Rust structs.
+//!
+//! # Architecture
+//!
+//! - [`MigrationStep`] — a single upgrade/downgrade between two concrete types
+//! - [`MigrationChain`] — runtime dispatch generated by [`migration_chain!`] macro
+//! - [`migration_chain!`] — declarative macro that validates the chain at compile time
+//!
+//! # How It Works
+//!
+//! Each schema version is a concrete Rust struct. Migration steps convert between
+//! adjacent versions with full type safety — no raw JSON manipulation.
+//!
+//! The `migration_chain!` macro generates:
+//! 1. **Const assertions** — version sequence validated at compile time
+//! 2. **Type-checked dispatch** — compiler rejects mismatched type chains
+//! 3. **`MigrationChain` impl** — runtime upgrade/downgrade with version detection
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! extern crate alloc;
+//!
+//! use aimdb_data_contracts::{SchemaType, MigrationStep, MigrationChain, MigrationError};
+//! use aimdb_data_contracts::migration_chain;
+//! use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};

-/// Runtime schema migration support.
-///
-/// Implement this trait to handle breaking schema changes at runtime.
-/// The `migrate` function transforms raw JSON data from older versions
-/// to the current schema format before deserialization.
-///
-/// # When to Use
-///
-/// Use `Migratable` when you need to:
-/// - Rename fields while maintaining backward compatibility
-/// - Change field types (e.g., int to float)
-/// - Add required fields with computed defaults
-/// - Handle complex structural changes
+/// A single, typed, bidirectional migration step between two schema versions.
 ///
-/// For simple additive changes (new optional fields), just use
-/// `#[serde(default)]` - no migration needed.
+/// Each step converts between two concrete Rust types with full type safety.
+/// The compiler enforces that `up()` and `down()` operate on the correct types.
 ///

+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+

+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,

+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,

+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

+   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.

-Write your data pipeline once. Run it on microcontrollers, edge gateways or Kubernetes — no code changes. AimDB's portable data contracts handle serialization, transforms and schema evolution across all runtimes.
+AimDB turns data contracts into the architecture. Define your schemas once — with built-in versioning, observability and serialization — and deploy them unchanged across microcontrollers, edge gateways, Kubernetes and the browser.

+
+### Vision
+
+A future where every system — from a $2 sensor to a global fleet — shares one data language. Contracts define how data moves, evolves and is observed. Infrastructure adapts to the data, not the other way around.
+
+---
+
+### Design Philosophy
+
+In a data-driven architecture, every design decision starts with the data, not the service that produces it.
+
+**Records declare their own semantics.** When you register a record in AimDB, you choose a buffer type that defines how the data moves:
+
+| Buffer | Semantics | Use Cases |
+|--------|-----------|-----------|
+| **SPMC Ring** | Bounded stream with independent consumers | Sensor telemetry, event logs, interaction streams |
+| **SingleLatest** | Only the current value matters | Feature flags, configuration, UI state |
+| **Mailbox** | Latest instruction wins | Device commands, actuation, RPC |
+
+These are the three universal primitives of data movement — portable, typed and runtime-agnostic.
+
+**Observability becomes automatic.** A record that exists is observable by definition. Every producer and consumer relationship is declared in the builder, not discovered through instrumentation.
+
+**Synchronization becomes declarative.** You don't build a sync layer between your MCU, edge gateway and cloud backend. You declare a record with connector metadata on its key and the same typed data flows across all environments without translation.
+
+**Cross-cutting concerns derive from the schema.** Instead of adding observability libraries, feature flag SDKs and experiment frameworks as separate integrations, they become intrinsic properties of records — declared once, applied everywhere.
+
+---
+
+### How It Works
+
+Define your contracts, choose buffer semantics and wire up connectors — all in one builder block:
+
+```rust
+// A sensor node: produce temperature readings, publish over MQTT
+builder.configure::<Temperature>("sensor::temp", |reg| {
+    reg.buffer(BufferCfg::SpmcRing { capacity: 256 })
+        .source(|ctx, producer| async move {
+            loop {
+                let reading = read_sensor().await;
+                producer.send(Temperature::set(reading, now())).await.ok();
+                ctx.sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
+            }
+        })
+        .link_to("mqtt://sensors/temperature")
+        .with_serializer(Temperature::to_bytes)
+        .finish();
+});
+
+// An edge gateway: receive from MQTT, observe and forward
+builder.configure::<Temperature>("gateway::temp", |reg| {
+    reg.buffer(BufferCfg::SingleLatest)
+        .link_from("mqtt://sensors/temperature")
+        .with_deserializer(Temperature::from_bytes)
+        .tap(log_tap::<Temperature>("edge"))   // [edge] 22.5 °C
+        .finish();
+});
+```
+
+Transport topics can be passed as strings to `link_to` / `link_from`, or declared on key enums with `#[link_address = "mqtt://..."]` and resolved at runtime. No separate instrumentation. No SDK integration. No sync code.
+
+---
+
+### Data Contracts
+
+Data contracts are the heart of AimDB. A contract is a plain Rust struct that carries its own identity, version and capabilities — the single source of truth from sensor firmware to browser UI.
+
+```rust
+use aimdb_data_contracts::{SchemaType, Settable};
+use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
+
+#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
+pub struct Temperature {
+    pub celsius: f32,
+    pub timestamp: u64,
+}
+
+impl SchemaType for Temperature {
+    const NAME: &'static str = "temperature";
+    const VERSION: u32 = 1;
+}
+
+impl Settable for Temperature {
+    type Value = f32;
+    fn set(value: Self::Value, timestamp: u64) -> Self {
+        Self { celsius: value, timestamp }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+This struct compiles for `no_std` embedded targets and standard Rust alike. `SchemaType` gives the record its identity and version. `Settable` provides a canonical constructor so producers can create records from a raw value — this is the interface used by `producer.send(Temperature::set(reading, now()))` in the builder.
+
+#### Contract Attributes
+
+Contracts gain capabilities through trait implementations. Each trait is a compile-time declaration of what a contract *can do*, not a runtime configuration:
+
+| Attribute | Trait | What It Enables |
+|-----------|-------|-----------------|
+| **Settable** | `Settable` | Canonical constructor from a raw value — the interface behind `producer.send(T::set(value, ts))`. |
+| **Streamable** | `Streamable` | Cross-boundary transport — WASM, WebSocket, CLI. One registry, zero parallel type systems. |
+| **Migratable** | `MigrationStep` | Bidirectional schema evolution with typed up/down transforms and chained version steps. |
+| **Observable** | `Observable` | Signal extraction for thresholds, logging and monitoring. Icon, unit and `format_log()` built in. |
+| **Linkable** | `Linkable` | Wire-format serialization for connectors — MQTT, KNX and any future transport. |
+| **Simulatable** | `Simulatable` | Realistic test data generation with random walks, trends and configurable parameters. |
+
+For example, `Observable` turns a contract into a loggable, monitorable signal:
+
+```rust
+impl Observable for Temperature {
+    type Signal = f32;
+    const ICON: &'static str = "thermometer";
+    const UNIT: &'static str = "°C";
+
+    fn signal(&self) -> f32 { self.celsius }
+
+    fn format_log(&self, node_id: &str) -> String {
+        format!("[{}] {:.1} °C", node_id, self.celsius)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Each trait you implement unlocks a capability — contracts without `Observable` simply can't be tapped; contracts without `Linkable` can't be wired to connectors. The type system enforces what your data can do.
+
+#### Platform-Agnostic by Design
+
+The same contract works across all runtimes without modification:
+
+```
+┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│                           Temperature Contract                                │
+├───────────────────┬───────────────────┬───────────────────┬───────────────────┤
+│  MCU (Embassy)    │  Edge (Tokio)     │  Cloud (Tokio)    │  Browser (WASM)   │
+│  no_std + alloc   │  std              │  Kubernetes       │  wasm32           │
+│  Cortex-M4        │  Linux / RPi      │  Full featured    │  Single-threaded  │
+└───────────────────┴───────────────────┴───────────────────┴───────────────────┘
+```
+
+The Rust type system enforces correctness at compile time. The dataflow engine's buffer semantics enforce flow guarantees at runtime. Connectors wire everything to your infrastructure without an integration layer.
