## Phase 6: Context Composition Redesign

*Initialized: 2026-05-10*

### Context Control & Workflow Enhancements

1. [x] **Track: Granular AST Control (Signatures vs. Definitions)**
   *Link: [./archive/granular_ast_control_20260510/](./archive/granular_ast_control_20260510/)*

    *Goal: Refactor gui_2.py to fix regressions and enforce better imgui scoping patterns.*

14. [x] **Track: I started to do a large cleanup to ./src/gui_2.py. I want you to study it and derive more information on how to maintain and write code for the python codebase. Please update product guidlines or the python code_styleguidleines based on what you discover. Also we may need to make some changes the mcp_tools for better structural awareness of annotations or other conventions with these python files. There is still more orgnaizatoin to be done like annotation/organizing the __init__ method's declarations, among other nitpicks.**

---

- [x] **Track: Comprehensive Documentation Refresh**
*Link: [./archive/documentation_refresh_comprehensive_20260602/](./archive/documentation_refresh_comprehensive_20260602/)*
*Goal: Refresh stale documentation across `docs/`. Completed: ASCII file tree updates (`docs/Readme.md` + `Readme.md` 5→14 guides, 22→53 src modules), `docs/guide_testing.md` (new, comprehensive 251-file test suite reference), 7 per-source-file guides (`guide_gui_2.md`, `guide_ai_client.md`, `guide_api_hooks.md`, `guide_mcp_client.md`, `guide_app_controller.md`, `guide_multi_agent_conductor.md`, `guide_models.md`). All 14 guides cross-linked. Gap analysis: [./archive/documentation_refresh_comprehensive_20260602/gap_analysis.md](./archive/documentation_refresh_comprehensive_20260602/gap_analysis.md).*

  Sub-tracks (all checkpointed):
  - [x] **Sub-Track 1: Docs Layer Refresh** `[checkpoint: 20225c8]` — 18 per-file atomic commits. 15 guides (8 refreshed + 7 new), Subsystem Index (24 entries), 106 cross-links all resolve, symbol parity fixed (`apply_nerv_theme` -> `apply_nerv`).
  - [x] **Sub-Track 2: Conductor Docs Refresh** `[checkpoint: ef4efab2]` — 4 per-file atomic commits: `product.md` (14 guides, MiniMax, Command Palette), `tech-stack.md` (MiniMax, Gemini Embedding 001), `workflow.md` (2026-06-02 doc refresh, 45-tool count), `index.md` (active track links).
  - [x] **Sub-Track 3: Agent Config Refresh** `[checkpoint: 87f668a6]` — 3 per-file atomic commits: `AGENTS.md` (5.4K -> 0.7K thin pointer), `CLAUDE.md` (6.7K -> 0.2K deprecation stub), `GEMINI.md` (5 providers, sloppy.py entry, 12 key modules). Drift check: 0 issues in 9 mirrored skill files.

- [x] **Track: Test Consolidation & TOML Sandboxing** `[checkpoint: cb91006c]`
*Spec: [./../../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-02-test-consolidation-design.md](./../../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-02-test-consolidation-design.md), Plan: [./../../docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-02-test-consolidation.md](./../../docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-02-test-consolidation.md)*
*Goal: Audit tests for real-TOML usage, migrate offenders to sandboxed patterns. Added `scripts/check_test_toml_paths.py` audit script (CI gate). Migrated `test_mcp_client_whitelist_enforcement` to `tmp_path` (was the only offender). Skipped redundant `enforce_no_real_toml` fixture — existing `isolate_workspace` autouse + audit script provide equivalent coverage.*

---

- [x] **Track: Clean Install Test** `[checkpoint: d14ae3b]`
*Link: [./tracks/clean_install_test_20260603/](./tracks/clean_install_test_20260603/), Spec: [./../../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-02-clean-install-test-design.md](./../../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-02-clean-install-test-design.md), Plan: [./../../docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-02-clean-install-test.md](./../../docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-02-clean-install-test.md)*
*Goal: Add opt-in pytest test (`RUN_CLEAN_INSTALL_TEST=1`) that clones the repo to tmp_path, runs `uv sync`, launches `sloppy.py --enable-test-hooks`, verifies Hook API responds. Catches "works on my machine" failures. Added `clean_install` marker to `pyproject.toml`. Created `tests/test_clean_install.py` (114 lines, uses `urllib.request` from stdlib per tech-stack.md dependency minimalism rule - deviation from plan). Skipped by default. Marked with `@pytest.mark.clean_install`.*

- [x] **Track: Fix markdown_helper.py for imgui-bundle >=1.92.801** `[checkpoint: 7a34edf]`
*Link: [./tracks/markdown_helper_language_api_compat_20260603/](./tracks/markdown_helper_language_api_compat_20260603/)*
*Goal: First thing the clean install test caught. `ed.TextEditor.LanguageDefinitionId` enum was removed in `imgui-bundle>=1.92.801`. Replaced with version-compat shim helpers `_get_language_id(name)` and `_set_editor_language(editor, lang_obj)` that detect the API at runtime (1.92.5 enum vs 1.92.801+ factory). Also added parallel `_editor_lang_cache` to track current language tag per editor (robust to API name differences like "C++" vs "cpp"). Verified: test passes in opt-in mode (1.92.801), shim still works in local 1.92.5 env, follow-up commit `b306f8f` corrected test URL `/api/mma_status` -> `/api/gui/mma_status` (actual endpoint per `src/api_hooks.py:181`).*
