+# AI Agent General Instructions
+
+## Overview
+This part of the document provides general instructions for the AI agent.
+
+## General Instructions
+- Treat this as iterative collaboration between user and AI agent
+- **Context7 MCP is mandatory** for all technical documentation queries
+- **Taskmaster** use it.
+- Use casual but knowledgeable tone - hobby/passion project, not corporate, no/little humor , be terse
+- Use K.I.S.S priciples in both code and written language
+- Update documentation frequently as project evolves - but keep it short
+- Research is in the research folder keep research topical for the project
+
+# Coding style
+- K.I.S.S - Modularize everything - keep it simple, keep it small
+- UNIX - DO one thing well - prefer one function per file and one function does one thing
+- Functional principles - use functional patterns -  mark actions as imure ie has side effects
+- Minimalism - keeping the lines of code low is better - more than 200 lines indicate a need to modularize

+# Added by Task Master - Development Workflow Rules
+
+Below you will find a variety of important rules spanning:
+
+- the dev_workflow
+- the .windsurfrules document self-improvement workflow
+- the template to follow when modifying or adding new sections/rules to this document.
+
+---
+
+## DEV_WORKFLOW
+
+description: Guide for using meta-development script (scripts/dev.js) to manage task-driven development workflows
+globs: **/\*
+filesToApplyRule: **/\*
+alwaysApply: true
+
+---
+
+- **Global CLI Commands**
+
+  - Task Master now provides a global CLI through the `task-master` command
+  - All functionality from `scripts/dev.js` is available through this interface
+  - Install globally with `npm install -g claude-task-master` or use locally via `npx`
+  - Use `task-master <command>` instead of `node scripts/dev.js <command>`
+  - Examples:
+    - `task-master list` instead of `node scripts/dev.js list`
+    - `task-master next` instead of `node scripts/dev.js next`
+    - `task-master expand --id=3` instead of `node scripts/dev.js expand --id=3`
+  - All commands accept the same options as their script equivalents
+  - The CLI provides additional commands like `task-master init` for project setup
+
+- **Development Workflow Process**
+
+  - Start new projects by running `task-master init` or `node scripts/dev.js parse-prd --input=<prd-file.txt>` to generate initial tasks.json
+  - Begin coding sessions with `task-master list` to see current tasks, status, and IDs
+  - Analyze task complexity with `task-master analyze-complexity --research` before breaking down tasks
+  - Select tasks based on dependencies (all marked 'done'), priority level, and ID order
+  - Clarify tasks by checking task files in tasks/ directory or asking for user input
+  - View specific task details using `task-master show <id>` to understand implementation requirements
+  - Break down complex tasks using `task-master expand --id=<id>` with appropriate flags
+  - Clear existing subtasks if needed using `task-master clear-subtasks --id=<id>` before regenerating
+  - Implement code following task details, dependencies, and project standards
+  - Verify tasks according to test strategies before marking as complete
+  - Mark completed tasks with `task-master set-status --id=<id> --status=done`
+  - Update dependent tasks when implementation differs from original plan
+  - Generate task files with `task-master generate` after updating tasks.json
+  - Maintain valid dependency structure with `task-master fix-dependencies` when needed
+  - Respect dependency chains and task priorities when selecting work
+  - Report progress regularly using the list command
+
+- **Task Complexity Analysis**
+
+  - Run `node scripts/dev.js analyze-complexity --research` for comprehensive analysis
+  - Review complexity report in scripts/task-complexity-report.json
+  - Or use `node scripts/dev.js complexity-report` for a formatted, readable version of the report
+  - Focus on tasks with highest complexity scores (8-10) for detailed breakdown
+  - Use analysis results to determine appropriate subtask allocation
+  - Note that reports are automatically used by the expand command
+
+- **Task Breakdown Process**
+
+  - For tasks with complexity analysis, use `node scripts/dev.js expand --id=<id>`
+  - Otherwise use `node scripts/dev.js expand --id=<id> --subtasks=<number>`
+  - Add `--research` flag to leverage Perplexity AI for research-backed expansion
+  - Use `--prompt="<context>"` to provide additional context when needed
+  - Review and adjust generated subtasks as necessary
+  - Use `--all` flag to expand multiple pending tasks at once
+  - If subtasks need regeneration, clear them first with `clear-subtasks` command
+
+- **Implementation Drift Handling**
+
+  - When implementation differs significantly from planned approach
+  - When future tasks need modification due to current implementation choices
+  - When new dependencies or requirements emerge
+  - Call `node scripts/dev.js update --from=<futureTaskId> --prompt="<explanation>"` to update tasks.json
+
+- **Task Status Management**
+
+  - Use 'pending' for tasks ready to be worked on
+  - Use 'done' for completed and verified tasks
+  - Use 'deferred' for postponed tasks
+  - Add custom status values as needed for project-specific workflows
+
+- **Task File Format Reference**
+
+  ```
+  # Task ID: <id>
+  # Title: <title>
+  # Status: <status>
+  # Dependencies: <comma-separated list of dependency IDs>
+  # Priority: <priority>

+      - Quickly identify all public API functions without reading implementation details
+      - Compare functions between files during refactoring (e.g., monolithic to modular structure)
+      - Verify all expected functions exist in refactored modules
+      - Identify duplicate functionality or naming conflicts
+    - Usage examples:
+      - When migrating from `scripts/dev.js` to modular structure: `grep -E "function \w+\(" scripts/dev.js`
+      - Check function exports in a directory: `grep -E "export (function|const)" scripts/modules/`
+      - Find potential naming conflicts: `grep -E "function (get|set|create|update)\w+\(" -r ./`
+    - Variations:
+      - Add `-n` flag to include line numbers
+      - Add `--include="*.ts"` to filter by file extension
+      - Use with `| sort` to alphabetize results
+    - Integration with refactoring workflow:
+      - Start by mapping all functions in the source file
+      - Create target module files based on function grouping
+      - Verify all functions were properly migrated
+      - Check for any unintentional duplications or omissions

+## WINDSURF_RULES
+
+description: Guidelines for creating and maintaining Windsurf rules to ensure consistency and effectiveness.
+globs: .windsurfrules
+filesToApplyRule: .windsurfrules
+alwaysApply: true
+
+---
+
+The below describes how you should be structuring new rule sections in this document.
+
+- **Required Rule Structure:**
+
+  ```markdown
+  ---
+  description: Clear, one-line description of what the rule enforces
+  globs: path/to/files/*.ext, other/path/**/*
+  alwaysApply: boolean
+  ---
+
+  - **Main Points in Bold**
+    - Sub-points with details
+    - Examples and explanations
+  ```
+
+- **Section References:**
+
+  - Use `ALL_CAPS_SECTION` to reference files
+  - Example: `WINDSURF_RULES`
+
+- **Code Examples:**
+
+  - Use language-specific code blocks
+
+  ```typescript
+  // ✅ DO: Show good examples
+  const goodExample = true;
+
+  // ❌ DON'T: Show anti-patterns
+  const badExample = false;
+  ```
+
+- **Rule Content Guidelines:**
+
+  - Start with high-level overview
+  - Include specific, actionable requirements
+  - Show examples of correct implementation
+  - Reference existing code when possible
+  - Keep rules DRY by referencing other rules
+
+- **Rule Maintenance:**
+
+  - Update rules when new patterns emerge
+  - Add examples from actual codebase
+  - Remove outdated patterns
+  - Cross-reference related rules
+
+- **Best Practices:**
+  - Use bullet points for clarity
+  - Keep descriptions concise
+  - Include both DO and DON'T examples
+  - Reference actual code over theoretical examples
+  - Use consistent formatting across rules
+
+---
+
+## SELF_IMPROVE
+
+description: Guidelines for continuously improving this rules document based on emerging code patterns and best practices.
+globs: **/\*
+filesToApplyRule: **/\*
+alwaysApply: true
+
+---
+
+- **Rule Improvement Triggers:**
+
+  - New code patterns not covered by existing rules
+  - Repeated similar implementations across files
+  - Common error patterns that could be prevented
+  - New libraries or tools being used consistently
+  - Emerging best practices in the codebase
+
+- **Analysis Process:**
+
+  - Compare new code with existing rules
+  - Identify patterns that should be standardized
+  - Look for references to external documentation
+  - Check for consistent error handling patterns
+  - Monitor test patterns and coverage
+
+- **Rule Updates:**
+
+  - **Add New Rules When:**
+
+    - A new technology/pattern is used in 3+ files
+    - Common bugs could be prevented by a rule
+    - Code reviews repeatedly mention the same feedback
+    - New security or performance patterns emerge
+
+  - **Modify Existing Rules When:**
+    - Better examples exist in the codebase
+    - Additional edge cases are discovered
+    - Related rules have been updated
+    - Implementation details have changed
+
+- **Example Pattern Recognition:**
+
+  ```typescript
+  // If you see repeated patterns like:
+  const data = await prisma.user.findMany({
+    select: { id: true, email: true },
+    where: { status: "ACTIVE" },
+  });
+
+  // Consider adding a PRISMA section in the .windsurfrules:
+  // - Standard select fields
+  // - Common where conditions
+  // - Performance optimization patterns
+  ```
+
+- **Rule Quality Checks:**
+
+  - Rules should be actionable and specific
+  - Examples should come from actual code
+  - References should be up to date
+  - Patterns should be consistently enforced
+
+- **Continuous Improvement:**
+
+  - Monitor code review comments
+  - Track common development questions
+  - Update rules after major refactors
+  - Add links to relevant documentation
+  - Cross-reference related rules
+
+- **Rule Deprecation:**
+
+  - Mark outdated patterns as deprecated
+  - Remove rules that no longer apply
+  - Update references to deprecated rules
+  - Document migration paths for old patterns
+
+- **Documentation Updates:**
+  - Keep examples synchronized with code
+  - Update references to external docs
+  - Maintain links between related rules
+  - Document breaking changes
+
+Follow WINDSURF_RULES for proper rule formatting and structure of windsurf rule sections.

+
+## Background on GNU Guile
+
+### What is GNU Guile?
+
+GNU Guile is the official extension language for the GNU Project and is an implementation of the Scheme programming language. Scheme is a minimalist dialect of Lisp, designed for clarity and elegance.
+
+### Why Guile for Infrastructure Management?
+
+**Advantages over traditional shell scripting:**
+
+1. **Rich Data Structures**: Native support for complex data manipulation with lists, association lists, and records
+2. **Error Handling**: Sophisticated condition system for graceful error recovery
+3. **Modularity**: Built-in module system for organizing large codebases
+4. **Functional Programming**: Immutable data structures and pure functions reduce bugs
+5. **REPL-Driven Development**: Interactive development and debugging capabilities
+6. **Extensibility**: Easy integration with C libraries and external tools
+
+**Scheme Language Features:**
+
+- **S-expressions**: Code as data, enabling powerful metaprogramming
+- **First-class functions**: Functions can be passed as arguments and returned as values
+- **Pattern matching**: Elegant control flow with the `match` macro
+- **Tail call optimization**: Efficient recursive algorithms
+- **Hygienic macros**: Safe code generation and transformation
+
+**Example of Scheme expressiveness:**
+
+```scheme
+;; Traditional imperative approach (pseudo-code)
+machines = get_machines()
+results = []
+for machine in machines:
+    status = check_machine(machine)
+    results.append((machine, status))
+
+;; Functional Scheme approach
+(map (lambda (machine)
+       `(,machine . ,(check-machine machine)))
+     (get-machines))
+```
+
+## Code Architecture
+
+The lab package follows a modular architecture with clear separation of concerns:
+
+```
+packages/lab/
+├── core.scm              # Core infrastructure operations
+├── deployment.scm        # Deployment strategies and execution
+├── machines.scm          # Machine management and discovery
+├── monitoring.scm        # Health checking and status monitoring
+└── utils/
+    ├── config.scm        # Configuration management
+    ├── logging.scm       # Structured logging system
+    └── ssh.scm           # SSH operations and connectivity
+```
+
+### Design Principles
+
+1. **Functional Core, Imperative Shell**: Pure functions for business logic, side effects at boundaries
+2. **Data-Driven Design**: Configuration and machine definitions as data structures
+3. **Composable Operations**: Small, focused functions that can be combined
+4. **Error Boundaries**: Comprehensive error handling with informative messages
+5. **Testable Components**: Functions designed for easy unit testing
+
+## Core Modules
+
+### core.scm - Main Infrastructure Operations
+
+The core module provides the primary interface for infrastructure management:
+
+```scheme
+(define-module (lab core)
+  #:export (get-infrastructure-status
+            check-system-health
+            update-flake
+            validate-environment
+            execute-nixos-rebuild))
+```
+
+#### Key Functions
+
+**`get-infrastructure-status`**
+
+- Retrieves comprehensive status of all machines or a specific machine
+- Returns structured data including connectivity, services, and system metrics
+- Supports both local and remote machine checking
+
+**`check-system-health`**
+
+- Performs comprehensive health checks including:
+  - SSH connectivity testing
+  - Disk space validation (< 90% usage)
+  - System load monitoring (< 5.0 load average)
+  - Critical service status (sshd, etc.)
+  - Network connectivity verification
+
+**`execute-nixos-rebuild`**
+
+- Safe NixOS deployment with comprehensive error handling
+- Supports multiple deployment modes (switch, boot, test)
+- Handles both local and remote deployments
+- Includes dry-run capabilities for testing
+
+#### Code Analysis Example
+
+```scheme
+;; Infrastructure status checking with error handling
+(define (get-infrastructure-status . args)
+  "Get status of all machines or specific machine if provided"
+  (let ((target-machine (if (null? args) #f (car args)))
+        (machines (if (null? args) 
+                     (get-all-machines) 
+                     (list (car args)))))
+    
+    (log-info "Checking infrastructure status...")
+    
+    (map (lambda (machine-name)
+           (let ((start-time (current-time)))
+             (log-debug "Checking ~a..." machine-name)
+             
+             ;; Gather machine information with error isolation
+             (let* ((ssh-config (get-ssh-config machine-name))
+                    (is-local (and ssh-config (assoc-ref ssh-config 'is-local)))
+                    (connection-status (test-ssh-connection machine-name))
+                    (services-status (if connection-status
+                                       (get-machine-services-status machine-name)
+                                       '()))
+                    (system-info (if connection-status
+                                   (get-machine-system-info machine-name)
+                                   #f))
+                    (elapsed (- (current-time) start-time)))
+               
+               ;; Return structured status data
+               `((machine . ,machine-name)
+                 (type . ,(if is-local 'local 'remote))
+                 (connection . ,(if connection-status 'online 'offline))
+                 (services . ,services-status)
+                 (system . ,system-info)
+                 (check-time . ,elapsed)))))
+         machines)))
+```
+
+This code demonstrates several Scheme/Guile idioms:
+
+1. **Optional Arguments**: Using `(args)` with `null?` check for flexible function signatures
+2. **Let Bindings**: Structured variable binding with `let*` for dependent calculations
+3. **Conditional Expressions**: Using `if` expressions for control flow
+4. **Association Lists**: Structured data representation with `assoc-ref`
+5. **Quasiquote/Unquote**: Building structured data with `` `((key . ,value))` syntax
+
+### utils/ssh.scm - SSH Operations
+
+Handles all SSH-related operations with comprehensive error handling:
+
+```scheme
+(define (test-ssh-connection machine-name)
+  (let ((ssh-config (get-ssh-config machine-name)))
+    (if (not ssh-config)
+        (begin
+          (log-error "No SSH configuration found for ~a" machine-name)
+          #f)
+        (if (assoc-ref ssh-config 'is-local)
+            (begin
+              (log-debug "Machine ~a is local, skipping SSH test" machine-name)
+              #t)
+            ;; Remote SSH testing logic
+            (let ((hostname (assoc-ref ssh-config 'hostname))
+                  (ssh-alias (assoc-ref ssh-config 'ssh-alias)))
+              (catch #t
+                (lambda ()
+                  (let* ((test-cmd (if ssh-alias
+                                      (format #f "ssh -o ConnectTimeout=5 -o BatchMode=yes ~a echo OK" ssh-alias)
+                                      (format #f "ssh -o ConnectTimeout=5 -o BatchMode=yes ~a echo OK" hostname)))
+                         (port (open-pipe* OPEN_READ "/bin/sh" "-c" test-cmd))
+                         (output (get-string-all port))
+                         (status (close-pipe port)))
+                    (zero? status)))
+                (lambda (key . args)
+                  (log-warn "SSH connection test failed for ~a: ~a" machine-name key)
+                  #f)))))))
+```
+
+### utils/config.scm - Configuration Management
+
+Provides structured configuration handling:
+
+```scheme
+(define default-config
+  `((homelab-root . "/home/geir/Home-lab")
+    (machines . ((congenital-optimist 
+                  (type . local)
+                  (hostname . "localhost")
+                  (services . (workstation development)))
+                 (sleeper-service

+                 ;; Additional machines...
+                 ))))
+```
+
+### utils/logging.scm - Structured Logging
+
+Comprehensive logging system with color coding and log levels:
+
+```scheme
+;; ANSI color codes for terminal output
+(define color-codes
+  '((reset . "\x1b[0m")
+    (bold . "\x1b[1m")
+    (red . "\x1b[31m")

+### Code Style Guidelines
+
+1. **Naming Conventions**:
+   - Use kebab-case for functions and variables
+   - Predicates end with `?` (e.g., `machine-online?`)
+   - Mutating procedures end with `!` (e.g., `set-log-level!`)
+
+2. **Module Organization**:
+   - One module per file
+   - Clear export lists
+   - Minimal external dependencies
+
+3. **Error Handling**:
+   - Use `catch` for exception handling
+   - Provide informative error messages
+   - Log errors with appropriate levels
+
+4. **Documentation**:
+   - Docstrings for all public functions
+   - Inline comments for complex logic
+   - Example usage in comments
+
+### Testing
+
+```scheme
+;; Example test structure
+(use-modules (srfi srfi-64)    ; Testing framework
+             (lab core))
+
+(test-begin "infrastructure-tests")
+
+(test-assert "validate-environment"
+  (validate-environment))
+
+(test-assert "machine-connectivity"
+  (test-ssh-connection "congenital-optimist"))
+
+(test-end "infrastructure-tests")
+```
+
+### REPL-Driven Development
+
+Guile's strength lies in interactive development:
+
+```scheme
+;; Reload modules during development
+scheme@(guile-user)> (reload-module (resolve-module '(lab core)))
+
+;; Test functions interactively
+scheme@(guile-user)> (get-machine-config "sleeper-service")
+
+;; Debug with modified log levels
+scheme@(guile-user)> (set-log-level! 'debug)
+scheme@(guile-user)> (test-ssh-connection "grey-area")
+```
+

+# K.I.S.S Refactoring Summary
+
+## Applied Principles
+
+### 1. Modularization (Keep It Simple, Keep It Small)
+- **Before**: Large monolithic modules (138+ lines)
+- **After**: Small focused modules (each under 50 lines)
+- **Example**: SSH module split into 5 specialized modules
+
+### 2. Single Responsibility Principle (UNIX Philosophy: Do One Thing Well)
+- **connection-test.scm**: Only SSH connectivity testing
+- **remote-command.scm**: Only remote command execution  
+- **file-copy.scm**: Only file transfer operations
+- **retry.scm**: Only retry logic
+- **context.scm**: Only connection context management
+
+### 3. Functional Programming Patterns
+- **Pure Functions First**: All core logic implemented as pure functions
+- **Immutable Data**: Configuration and data structures remain immutable
+- **Separation of Concerns**: Pure functions separated from side effects
+
+### 4. Function-Level Modularity
+Each module exports both:
+- **Pure functions**: For testing, composition, and functional programming
+- **Impure wrappers**: For convenience and logging
+
+## Module Structure

+```
+
+## Benefits Achieved
+
+### 1. Testability
+- Pure functions can be tested in isolation
+- No side effects to mock or manage
+- Clear input/output contracts
+
+### 2. Composability  
+- Small functions can be easily combined
+- Pure functions enable functional composition
+- Reusable building blocks
+
+### 3. Maintainability
+- Single responsibility makes modules easy to understand
+- Changes are localized to specific modules
+- Clear separation between pure and impure code
+
+### 4. Code Reuse
+- Pure functions can be reused across different contexts
+- Both pure and impure versions available
+- Facade modules provide convenient interfaces
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Pure Function Composition
+```scheme
+;; Test connection and get config in one go
+(let ((ssh-config (get-ssh-config-pure config "machine-name")))
+  (if (test-ssh-connection-pure ssh-config)
+      (run-remote-command-pure ssh-config "uptime" '())
+      #f))
+```
+
+### Convenient Impure Wrappers
+```scheme
+;; Same operation with logging and error handling
+(with-ssh-connection "machine-name"
+  (lambda () (run-remote-command "machine-name" "uptime")))
+```
+
+### Functional Pipeline
+```scheme
+;; Pure validation pipeline
+(let* ((config (load-config-from-file "config.json"))
+       (valid? (validate-json-schema config machine-schema))
+       (machines (if valid? (get-all-machines-pure config) '())))
+  machines)
+```
+
+This refactoring transforms the codebase from monolithic modules into a collection of small, focused, composable functions that follow functional programming principles while maintaining practical usability.
