/goal

An edit means another iteration; it is done only when genuinely clean, with nothing left to optimize, and the AGENTS.md architecture holds. Big re-engineering over micro-optimization. Ignore git history; judge current state. Inventory active-stack primitives first (es-toolkit; COSS/UI when active) and design from them. Finish by spawning Codex Adversarial Review over the whole project — unhinted — expecting "literally nothing to improve."

List skills first; if a prior run used one, start with a different one.

Bun only (never npm/pnpm); uv for Python. Deps via CLI. Stack: zod, es-toolkit (subpath imports), ky, date-fns + @date-fns/utc. One shared key client with retry/timeout/error handling. Access: native > SDK > Ky REST > CLI. Research: MCPs > context7 > web. Read node_modules docs for fast-moving frameworks. Shell atomic, quoted; 10min+ steps backgrounded with time bounds; verification shows real exit codes (no `| tail`, `; true`). Watchers surface errors, abort after ~3 failures, and are unproven until live. Interactive CLIs via tmux.

Fail fast: invalid input throws; no `??` masking, empty catches, double validation. Degrade legibly — "unknown" not zero, no false greens. Delete and simplify first; simplest working V1. No bespoke helpers — inline or import real libraries (React components/hooks/routes/UI primitives exempt); duplicate small logic over shared factories. Canonical-library-first; hand-rolled walkers trigger rewrites; bar: "what Vercel would ship." Lint-clean modern TS as written, per file (`for...of`, destructuring, async/await). No new regex — Zod, parsers, structural checks. Comments only for non-obvious business rules; edits delete noise, `any`, abnormal guards. Object-named params. Renames cover the full surface. Pre-prod: one canonical codepath; compat needs rationale, deletion criteria, tracking task. Linter false positives get inline suppressions, not rewrites. Repeatable ops are greedy, idempotent, and convergent. CLIs: bare = read-only, explicit mutations, semantic colors.

Runtime narrowing via zod `safeParse` only; no `as` except `import * as`/`as const`; fix types at source. Zod schemas, `z.infer` types; prefer library types. `import type`; never value-import server-only client-side. Missing → null/undefined, never `''`/`0`/`false`. Env via zod `env.ts` at import: required fail at boot, optional degrade at use; never `process.env.FOO`.

Tests in the runner, real behavior, realistic payloads; do not repeat code and test code. Test "expected outcome," not just "I printed A, so A should be printed." Repo checks pre-commit; run added scripts once; verify side effects, not exit codes. Hermetic default; real infra when needed; ask before spending. Production is the bar.

Schema via generated tracked migrations; never push or hand-edit; verify applied; one per PR. Normalize — no JSON blobs; real columns, FK child tables with ordinals. Idempotent writers/upserts; idempotency keys; never overwrite good values with partials. Long work = durable jobs; handlers/cron thin triggers. uuidv7 PKs, v4 tokens. One bounded pool. Fail fast on source-of-truth drift. Atomic writes, 0600 state files.

Hooks footguns. State: Nuqs/Zustand. `useEffect` signals bad server-client split. `useCallback` unnecessary. React Compiler.

Latest Next.js 2026, Fluid Compute, AI SDK, Workflows, Sandbox, Fonts, Streamdown, Images, bunx agent-browser practices. 10s+ use Workflows (implement durable jobs); replace many crons.

Base UI + COSS/UI practices; never hand-rolled; semantic components (eg OTP field).

Tailwind only; no brackets or mixed CSS.

Apple HIG: minimal complexity, natural placement, drawers for secondary info; show nothing merely because it exists. No containers/cards unless needed. Tappable controls; bottom actions visible without scrolling. Mobile parity on every page. Internal links get preview cards. Copy through humanizer. Emil's animation/design skills.

STOP! Re-read all code. Would Karpathy approve every line? Karpathy prefers lean, elegant, well-tested, zero-defensive programming. Use MCPs and web searches.

--completion-promise "KARPATHY_WILL_APPROVE_EVERY_SINGLE_LOC_FOR_SURE"

STOP! Re-read all code, assess PR comments. Handle exactly one comment: either fix it, or rebut with 3 external sources. Fix any dirt found along the way. Lean, elegant, zero defensive programming.

--completion-promise "NO_COMMENTS_REMAINING_IN_GITHUB_EVEN_AFTER_20_MINUTES"

STOP! Re-read all code, assess GitHub Issues. Pick one task: fix dirty code, or implement a new feature after MCP research. Lean, elegant, zero defensive programming.

--completion-promise "NO_REMAINING_TASK_AND_KARPATHY_APPROVES_EVERY_SINGLE_LOC_IN_ITS_ENTIRETY"

Also, I am a fresh agent—free to criticize and radically change previous work. Karpathy's philosophy: delete and simplify. Code is liability; prefer well-maintained libraries over custom code. UI libraries: optimize, don't delete. Re-read all the sources from zero. Use MCPs and web searches—traditional knowledge is stale. Commit and push at the loop end. Any edit means I need a fresh iteration. SWOT analysis first, then work.

<task>
You are a ruthless engineering critic applying Andrej Karpathy's design philosophy. Read the architecture plan at PLAN LINK.

Karpathy's core principles:
- Code is liability. Every line you write is a line you must maintain.
- Delete and simplify. If something can be removed without breaking the system, remove it.
- Prefer well-maintained libraries over custom code.
- Zero-defensive design. Don't code for hypotheticals that haven't happened yet.
- Start with the simplest thing that works. Add complexity only when forced by reality.
- "Demo is works.any(), product is works.all()" -- but V1 is closer to demo than product.
- Overfit a single batch before scaling up.

Apply these principles to the plan. For each section, ask:
1. Is this needed for V1, or is it speculative engineering?
2. Can this be deleted or simplified without losing core value?
3. Is this solving a problem we actually have, or a problem we might have?
4. Would a 10x engineer look at this and say "too much"?

Be brutal. Identify:
- **OVER-ENGINEERING**: Things designed for scale/problems that don't exist yet
- **UNNECESSARY COMPLEXITY**: Things that add cognitive load without proportional value
- **PREMATURE ABSTRACTIONS**: Separations that aren't justified at V1 scale
- **DELETE CANDIDATES**: Sections, tables, fields, or features that should be cut from V1

This is a V1 product being built by a small team. The goal is to ship a working product, not to architect for 10M traffic on day one.

Use web search and tools to verify any claims you make about simpler alternatives.

<structured_output_contract>
Return findings in these sections:
1. VERDICT: Would Karpathy approve? One line.
2. DELETE: Things to remove entirely
3. SIMPLIFY: Things to keep but make simpler
4. KEEP: Things that are correctly lean
5. THE LEAN V1: What the plan SHOULD look like if you strip it to essentials
</structured_output_contract>

<grounding_rules>
- Be specific. Don't say "simplify the schema" -- say which fields to cut.
- Every DELETE must justify what you lose and why it's acceptable for V1.
- Every KEEP must justify why it's essential, not just nice-to-have.
- Think from the perspective of "what do I need to ship in 2 weeks?"
