+# Tier 2 Startup Brief: post_module_taxonomy_de_cruft_20260627
+
+## Context
+
+Followup to module_taxonomy_refactor_20260627 (v2). After the taxonomy is settled, clean up the remaining cruft that v2 was explicitly out-of-scope for. Two critical bugs from v2 must be fixed first; then 4 de-cruft tasks address the __getattr__ shim, DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES, Pydantic proxies, and ImGui usage standardization.
+
+## MANDATORY Pre-Action Reading (per agent protocol)
+
+1. AGENTS.md (operating rules, especially "File Size and Naming Convention" HARD RULE)
+2. conductor/workflow.md (the workflow)
+3. conductor/edit_workflow.md (the edit workflow)
+4. conductor/code_styleguides/data_oriented_design.md (Prefer Fewer Types principle)
+5. conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md (Result[T] convention)
+6. conductor/code_styleguides/type_aliases.md (the 10 TypeAliases convention)
+7. conductor/code_styleguides/code_path_audit.md (code path audit styleguide)
+8. **conductor/tracks/post_module_taxonomy_de_cruft_20260627/spec.md** (the canonical reference for this plan)
+9. **conductor/tracks/post_module_taxonomy_de_cruft_20260627/plan.md** (the 6-phase plan; 12 atomic commits)
+10. conductor/tracks/module_taxonomy_refactor_20260627/spec.md (the v2 spec that this track follows up on)
+11. docs/reports/FOLLOWUP_module_taxonomy_v2_review.md (the review that identified these tasks)
+12. docs/reports/FOLLOWUP_module_taxonomy_refactor_20260627_recoverable.md (the recovery report)
+
+**First commit of this track must include** `TIER-2 READ <list> before post_module_taxonomy_de_cruft_20260627` in the message.
+
+## TIMELINE-IS-IMMUTABLE PRINCIPLE (added 2026-06-27 per user feedback)
+
+When you (the agent) fuck up — make a wrong commit, break a file, take a bad path — your first instinct will be to "undo" the mistake with `git revert`, `git reset`, or `git stash`. **THIS INSTINCT IS WRONG.** The user explicitly stated: "if an agent fucks up, their tendency to want to 'revert' is not correct and instead they must live with the timeline and just do corrections with a new commit."
+
+**The rule:**
+- The git history is IMMUTABLE on this branch. Every commit you've made is part of the record.
+- "Fixing forward" via a new commit makes the user's review EASIER.
+- "Undoing" via `git revert` / `git reset` / `git stash` makes the user's review HARDER (they have to read the diff between the bad and the "fix" to understand what went wrong).
+
+**Correct pattern when you fuck up:**
+1. Pause. Read the actual file. Confirm the state.
+2. Write a NEW commit that fixes the problem. The commit message should briefly say what was wrong and what you fixed.
+3. If the bad commit introduced data corruption that the user will see, the user can `git revert` it during their review — that's the user's choice, not yours.
+4. If you need to recover an old version of a file, use `git show <good-sha>:<path> > <path>` to extract it.
+
+**Wrong pattern (which you must NOT do):**
+- `git revert <sha>` to undo a commit
+- `git reset --hard <sha>` to throw away a bad commit
+- `git stash` to "save" uncommitted work
+- `git checkout <old-sha> -- .` to "go back to when things were good" (and then commit on top)
+
+## HARD BAN: `git stash*` (added 2026-06-27)
+
+`git stash`, `git stash pop`, `git stash apply`, `git stash drop`, `git stash clear` are FORBIDDEN at 3 layers:
+1. AGENTS.md HARD BAN
+2. conductor/tier2/opencode.json.fragment bash deny rules (top-level + agent-level)
+3. This prompt's Hard Bans list
+
+Stashing throws away the user's in-progress edits silently. If you think you need a stash, you don't — use a NEW BRANCH or a WORKTREE instead.

+
+## Per-phase patterns for Tier 3 workers
+
+### Pattern: fix critical bug (Phase 0)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Find the original definition
+git log -p --all -S "LEGACY_NAMES" -- scripts/generate_type_registry.py
+
+# 2. Add the missing definition (or remove the reference)
+# manual-slop_edit_file scripts/generate_type_registry.py
+# Add LEGACY_NAMES = [...] at the top of the file
+
+# 3. Verify
+uv run python scripts/generate_type_registry.py --check
+```
+
+### Pattern: create symlink (Phase 0)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Find the most recent audit output
+ls docs/reports/code_path_audit/
+
+# 2. Create the symlink
+New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path docs/reports/code_path_audit/latest -Target <most-recent>
+
+# 3. Verify
+uv run python scripts/audit_code_path_audit_coverage.py --input-dir docs/reports/code_path_audit/latest --strict
+```
+
+### Pattern: remove __getattr__ shim (Phase 2)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Find all consumer sites
+git grep "from src.models import" -- 'src/*.py' 'tests/*.py'
+
+# 2. Update each consumer to use direct imports
+# For MMA Core classes (Ticket, Track, etc.):
+#   from src.models import Ticket
+#   ->
+#   from src.mma import Ticket
+# For ProjectContext:
+#   from src.models import ProjectContext
+#   ->
+#   from src.project import ProjectContext
+# For FileItem + Preset + ContextPreset + ContextFileEntry + NamedViewPreset:
+#   from src.models import FileItem
+#   ->
+#   from src.project_files import FileItem
+# For Tool + ToolPreset:
+#   from src.models import Tool
+#   ->
+#   from src.tool_presets import Tool
+# For BiasProfile:
+#   from src.models import BiasProfile
+#   ->
+#   from src.tool_bias import BiasProfile
+# For TextEditorConfig + ExternalEditorConfig:
+#   from src.models import TextEditorConfig
+#   ->
+#   from src.external_editor import TextEditorConfig
+# For Persona:
+#   from src.models import Persona
+#   ->
+#   from src.personas import Persona
+# For WorkspaceProfile:
+#   from src.models import WorkspaceProfile
+#   ->
+#   from src.workspace_manager import WorkspaceProfile
+# For MCPServerConfig + MCPConfiguration + VectorStoreConfig + RAGConfig + load_mcp_config:
+#   from src.models import MCPServerConfig
+#   ->
+#   from src.mcp_client import MCPServerConfig
+
+# 3. Remove the __getattr__ shim from src/models.py
+# manual-slop_edit_file src/models.py
+# Delete the entire __getattr__ function
+
+# 4. Verify
+uv run python -m pytest tests/test_*.py -v
+```
+
+### Pattern: move dict/constant (Phase 3, Phase 4)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Add the dict/constant to the destination file
+# manual-slop_edit_file src/ai_client.py
+# Add DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES = { ... } in the right location
+
+# 2. Remove from the source file
+# manual-slop_edit_file src/models.py
+# Delete the DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES definition
+
+# 3. Update consumer sites
+# git grep DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES -- 'src/*.py'
+# Update each consumer to import from the new location
+
+# 4. Verify
+uv run python -m pytest tests/test_app_controller_*.py -v
+```
+
+### Pattern: standardize ImGui usage (Phase 5)
+
+```bash
+# For each of the 4 files (markdown_helper.py, theme_2.py, theme_nerv.py, theme_nerv_fx.py):
+
+# 1. Find ImGui begin_/end_ pairs
+git grep "imgui\." src/markdown_helper.py
+# Look for: imgui.begin("X") ... imgui.end()
+
+# 2. Replace with imgui_scopes.py context manager pattern
+# manual-slop_edit_file src/markdown_helper.py
+# Replace:
+#   imgui.begin("X")
+#   # content
+#   imgui.end()
+# With:
+#   with imgui.begin("X"):
+#       # content
+
+# 3. Add the import
+# from src.imgui_scopes import ...
+
+# 4. Verify
+uv run python -m pytest tests/test_<file>.py -v
+```
+
+### Style
+
+- 1-space indentation (project standard)
+- CRLF line endings
+- No comments in source code (per AGENTS.md)
+- Use manual-slop_edit_file for surgical edits
+- Per-phase regression-guard test runs after each phase
+- Preserve backward-compat: when removing a class from models.py, KEEP a re-export line for any consumer that still uses the old path
+
+## Notes for Tier 2 reviewer
+
+- **Phase 0 is critical** — these are bugs Tier 2 introduced in v2. Fix them FIRST.
+- **Phase 1 is the spec update** (VC2 + VC10 corrections). The user's acceptance of the trade-offs is documented.
+- **Phase 2 is the most invasive** — removing the __getattr__ shim changes the import surface for 30+ consumer sites. Run the full batched test suite after each consumer-site update.
+- **Phase 3 + 4 are simple moves** — single-consumer moves. Verify after each.
+- **Phase 5 is per-file** — 4 commits, 1 per file. Verify after each.
+- **Total: 12 atomic commits** (matches the spec's expected commit count).
+- **Tier 2 must NOT use `git stash*` for any reason.** Banned at 3 layers.
+- **Tier 2 must NOT use `git revert*` / `git reset*` for any reason.** Banned per AGENTS.md. Use forward commits instead.

+# Plan: post_module_taxonomy_de_cruft_20260627
+
+5 phases, 11 tasks, ~12 atomic commits. Per-task TDD red-first. Tier 3 workers execute; Tier 2 reviews per phase.
+
+## Phase 0: Fix critical bugs (Tier 3, 2 commits)
+
+**Focus:** The 2 critical bugs that broke the audit gates. Must be fixed FIRST before the de-cruft work can proceed.
+
+- [x] **Task 0.1** [Tier 3]: Fix the `NameError: LEGACY_NAMES` bug in `scripts/generate_type_registry.py`
+  - HOW: `git log -p --all -S "LEGACY_NAMES" -- scripts/generate_type_registry.py` to find the original definition
+  - Add the missing definition or remove the reference
+  - SAFETY: `uv run python scripts/generate_type_registry.py --check` exits 0
+- [x] **COMMIT 0.1:** `fix(generate_type_registry): define LEGACY_NAMES to fix NameError` (Tier 3)
+- [x] **GIT NOTE:** Tier 2 introduced this bug in their v2 work. Re-ran `git log -p --all -S "LEGACY_NAMES"` to find the original definition and restored it.
+
+- [x] **Task 0.2** [Tier 3]: Create the `latest` symlink for `audit_code_path_audit_coverage.py`
+  - HOW: `New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path docs/reports/code_path_audit/latest -Target <most-recent>`
+  - Most recent: identify via `ls docs/reports/code_path_audit/ | Sort-Object | Select-Object -Last 1`
+  - SAFETY: `uv run python scripts/audit_code_path_audit_coverage.py --input-dir docs/reports/code_path_audit/latest --strict` exits 0
+- [x] **COMMIT 0.2:** `fix(audit): create docs/reports/code_path_audit/latest symlink` (Tier 3)
+- [x] **GIT NOTE:** Tier 2 ran the type registry regeneration but didn't create the symlink. This fixes the audit gate.
+
+## Phase 1: Update v2 spec (Tier 1, 1 commit)
+
+**Focus:** The 2 spec corrections (VC2 patch_modal.py as data module; VC10 162-line trade-off).
+
+- [x] **Task 1.1** [Tier 1]: Edit `conductor/tracks/module_taxonomy_refactor_20260627/spec.md` to update VC2 and VC10
+  - VC2: add note that patch_modal.py is a data module (DiffHunk, DiffFile, PendingPatch) per data/view/ops split
+  - VC10: accept 162-line models.py as the trade-off for backward compat (the 30-line target was unrealistic)
+- [x] **COMMIT 1.1:** `docs(spec): correct VC2 + VC10 in module_taxonomy_refactor_20260627 spec` (Tier 1)
+- [x] **GIT NOTE:** v2 spec corrections per `FOLLOWUP_module_taxonomy_v2_review`. VC2 now acknowledges patch_modal.py as a data module. VC10 now accepts 162-line models.py as the backward-compat trade-off.
+
+## Phase 2: Remove `__getattr__` shim from `models.py` (Tier 3, 1-2 commits)
+
+**Focus:** The biggest de-cruft task. The `__getattr__` shim preserves backward compat for 30+ legacy imports. Removing it requires updating those imports.
+
+- [x] **Task 2.1** [Tier 3]: Inventory all `from src.models import X` for the moved classes (Ticket, Track, WorkerContext, TrackState, TrackMetadata, ThinkingSegment, ProjectContext, FileItem, Preset, ContextPreset, ContextFileEntry, NamedViewPreset, Tool, ToolPreset, BiasProfile, TextEditorConfig, ExternalEditorConfig, Persona, WorkspaceProfile, MCPServerConfig, MCPConfiguration, VectorStoreConfig, RAGConfig, load_mcp_config, Persona, etc.)
+  - HOW: `git grep "from src.models import" -- 'src/*.py' 'tests/*.py'`
+- [x] **Task 2.2** [Tier 3]: Update consumer sites to use direct imports (per class, migrate to the right subsystem file)
+  - MMA Core: `from src.mma import ...`
+  - ProjectContext: `from src.project import ...`
+  - FileItem + Preset + ContextPreset + etc: `from src.project_files import ...`
+  - Tool + ToolPreset: `from src.tool_presets import ...`
+  - BiasProfile: `from src.tool_bias import ...`
+  - TextEditorConfig + ExternalEditorConfig: `from src.external_editor import ...`
+  - Persona: `from src.personas import ...`
+  - WorkspaceProfile: `from src.workspace_manager import ...`
+  - MCP config: `from src.mcp_client import ...`
+- [x] **Task 2.3** [Tier 3]: Remove the `__getattr__` shim from `src/models.py`
+  - HOW: `manual-slop_edit_file` to remove the function
+  - SAFETY: `uv run python -m pytest tests/test_*.py -v` to verify no consumer broke
+- [x] **COMMIT 2.1:** `refactor(models): remove __getattr__ shim; 30+ consumer sites now use direct imports` (Tier 3)
+- [x] **GIT NOTE:** After migration, `from src.models import X` for moved classes raises `ImportError`. The legacy compat shim is no longer needed.
+
+## Phase 3: Move `DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES` to `src/ai_client.py` (Tier 3, 1 commit)
+
+**Focus:** A single dict moves; single consumer (app_controller.py).
+
+- [x] **Task 3.1** [Tier 3]: Move `DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES` from `src/models.py` to `src/ai_client.py`
+  - HOW: `manual-slop_edit_file` to add the dict to `src/ai_client.py`; remove from `src/models.py`
+  - Update consumer: `src/app_controller.py` to `from src.ai_client import DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES`

+- [x] **COMMIT 3.1:** `refactor(ai_client): move DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES from models.py to ai_client.py` (Tier 3)
+- [x] **GIT NOTE:** `DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES` is a categorization of MCP tools; the AI client is the natural owner. Single consumer (app_controller.py).
+
+## Phase 4: Move Pydantic proxies to `src/api_hooks.py` (Tier 3, 1 commit)
+
+**Focus:** The Pydantic proxies (`_create_generate_request`, `_create_confirm_request`, the Pydantic-specific `__getattr__`) are API-specific.

+- [x] **GIT NOTE:** Pydantic proxies are API-specific; they belong with `api_hooks.py`. 2 consumer sites updated.
+
+## Phase 5: Standardize ImGui usage (Tier 3, 1 commit per file = 4 commits)
+
+**Focus:** The 4 files that use ImGui directly (not through `imgui_scopes.py` context managers).
+
+- [x] **Task 5.1** [Tier 3]: Refactor `src/markdown_helper.py` to use `imgui_scopes.py` context managers

+
+## Notes for Tier 3 workers
+
+- **Phase 0 is critical** — these are bugs Tier 2 introduced. Fix them FIRST.
+- **Phase 2 (remove `__getattr__` shim) is the biggest task** — there are 30+ consumer sites. Use `git grep` to find them all. Update them per the migration pattern.
+- **Phase 5 (ImGui standardization) is per-file** — 4 commits, 1 per file. Each file has its own tests; verify after each.
+- **Style** — 1-space indentation, CRLF line endings, no comments, use `manual-slop_edit_file`.
+- **Per-phase regression-guard test runs** — after each phase, run the affected tests. If a phase causes a regression, REVERT the phase commit and investigate (don't try to fix forward).
+- **The `git stash*` ban is in effect** at 3 layers. Do not use `git stash` for any reason. If you need a "fresh start" feel, create a new branch.
+- **The timeline-is-immutable principle** — never use `git revert` / `git reset` / `git stash` to "undo" a bad commit. Write a forward corrective commit instead.
+- **Phase 1 (spec update) is by Tier 1** — Tier 3 should NOT modify the v2 spec. The Tier 1 update reflects the user's acceptance of the trade-offs.
+
+## Notes for Tier 2 reviewer
+
+- **The 2 critical bugs in Phase 0 are the priority** — they broke the audit gates. Fix them FIRST.
+- **The v2 spec update in Phase 1** is by Tier 1. Tier 2 should NOT modify the spec.
+- **Phase 2 is the most invasive** — removing the `__getattr__` shim changes the import surface for 30+ consumer sites. Run the full batched test suite after each consumer-site update.
+- **Phase 5 (ImGui standardization) is per-file** — 4 commits, 1 per file. Verify after each.
+- **Total: 12 atomic commits** (matches the spec's expected commit count).

+# Track Specification: post_module_taxonomy_de_cruft_20260627
+
+## Overview
+
+Followup to module_taxonomy_refactor_20260627. After the taxonomy is settled, clean up the remaining cruft that v2 was explicitly out-of-scope for. Two critical bugs from v2 must be fixed first; then 4 de-cruft tasks address the __getattr__ shim, DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES, Pydantic proxies, and the patch_modal.py data module issue.
+
+## Current State Audit (master 6344b49f, measured 2026-06-27)
+
+| Metric | Value | Source |
+|---|---:|---|
+| src/models.py line count | 162 | wc -l src/models.py (spec target was 30) |
+| LEGACY_NAMES in generate_type_registry.py | BROKEN | LEGACY_NAMES referenced but not defined (Tier 2 introduced this bug) |
+| docs/reports/code_path_audit/latest symlink | MISSING | required by audit_code_path_audit_coverage.py |
+| patch_modal.py | 115 lines, EXISTS | data module (DiffHunk, DiffFile, PendingPatch) per data/view/ops split; spec was wrong to require deletion |
+| src/models.py content | __getattr__ shim + DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES + Pydantic proxies | still has cruft |
+| v2 audit gates | 5/7 pass | 2 broken (NameError + missing symlink) |
+
+## Goals
+
+| ID | Goal | Acceptance |
+|---|---|---|
+| G1 | Fix the NameError: LEGACY_NAMES bug in generate_type_registry.py | generate_type_registry.py --check exits 0 |
+| G2 | Create the latest symlink for audit_code_path_audit_coverage.py | audit_code_path_audit_coverage.py --input-dir docs/reports/code_path_audit/latest --strict exits 0 |
+| G3 | Update VC2 in the v2 spec to acknowledge patch_modal.py is a data module (not a LEAK) | spec.md reflects the data module status |
+| G4 | Update VC10 in the v2 spec to accept 162-line models.py (backward compat trade-off) | spec.md reflects the trade-off |
+| G5 | All 7 audit gates pass --strict | Same as v2 baseline |
+| G6 | 10/11 batched test tiers pass (RAG flake acceptable) | Same as v2 baseline |
+| G7 | Remove the __getattr__ shim from src/models.py as consumers migrate to direct imports | __getattr__ function removed; 30+ consumer sites updated |
+| G8 | Move DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES to src/ai_client.py | DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES removed from src/models.py; from src.ai_client import DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES works |
+| G9 | Move Pydantic proxies to src/api_hooks.py | _create_generate_request, _create_confirm_request moved; from src.api_hooks import GenerateRequest, ConfirmRequest works |
+| G10 | Refactor ImGui usage in markdown_helper.py, theme_2.py, theme_nerv.py, theme_nerv_fx.py to use the imgui_scopes.py context manager pattern uniformly | All imgui.begin_/imgui.end_ calls go through imgui_scopes.py |
+| G11 | src/models.py reduced to 20 lines (just docstring + imports) | After G7+G8+G9, models.py is essentially empty |
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- The 4-criteria rule itself (established in v2)
+- The data/view/ops split (established in v2)
+- The __getattr__ legacy migration shim back from subsystem files (the shim is being REMOVED)
+- Refactoring aggregate.py (513 lines), app_controller.py (4869 lines), gui_2.py (7773 lines)
+- The RAG test pre-existing flake
+- The v2 spec rewriting (it was a track artifact, not a commit in the v2 branch)
+
+## Functional Requirements
+
+### FR1: Fix the NameError: LEGACY_NAMES bug
+
+The bug is in scripts/generate_type_registry.py. The LEGACY_NAMES variable is referenced but not defined. The fix is to either:
+- Define the variable before it's referenced
+- Remove the reference if it's not needed
+- Import it from the correct module
+
+**Action:**
+1. Use git log -p --all -S LEGACY_NAMES to find the original definition
+2. Add the missing definition or remove the reference
+3. Re-run generate_type_registry.py --check to verify
+
+### FR2: Create the latest symlink
+
+The audit_code_path_audit_coverage.py script expects a latest symlink in docs/reports/code_path_audit/. The symlink should point to the most recent audit output (e.g., 2026-06-22).
+
+**Action:**
+1. Identify the most recent audit output directory
+2. Create the symlink pointing to the most recent
+3. Re-run audit_code_path_audit_coverage.py --input-dir docs/reports/code_path_audit/latest --strict
+
+### FR3: Update VC2 in the v2 spec
+
+The current VC2 says 5 ImGui LEAK files deleted. The v2 spec didn't account for patch_modal.py being a data module. Update VC2 to acknowledge that patch_modal.py is a data module, not a LEAK.
+
+**Action:** edit the v2 spec to update the VC2 line to:
+
+```
+VC2: 4 ImGui LEAK files deleted (bg_shader, shaders, command_palette, diff_viewer).
+patch_modal.py is NOT a LEAK — it's a data module (DiffHunk/DiffFile/PendingPatch)
+per the data/view/ops split rule. The diff_viewer classes were moved INTO it
+during the cruft_elimination track's split; deleting it would violate the
+data module's integrity.
+```
+
+### FR4: Update VC10 in the v2 spec
+
+The current VC10 says src/models.py reduced to 30 lines. Tier 2 hit 162 lines because of backward compat. Update VC10 to accept the trade-off.
+
+**Action:** edit the spec to:
+
+```
+VC10: src/models.py reduced from 1044 to 200 lines (achieves backward compat
+for 30+ legacy imports via __getattr__ lazy-load shim). The 30-line target
+was unrealistic given the legacy import surface; 162 lines is the accepted
+trade-off. Full migration to direct imports is FR7 in the
+post_module_taxonomy_de_cruft_20260627 follow-up track.
+```
+
+### FR5: Remove the __getattr__ shim (de-cruft)
+
+The __getattr__ in src/models.py lazy-loads moved classes on first access. To remove it, update the ~30 consumer sites to import directly from subsystem files.
+
+**Consumer sites:** tests/test_*.py and src/app_controller.py, src/aggregate.py, etc.
+
+**Migration pattern:**
+```python
+# OLD:
+from src.models import Ticket
+# NEW:
+from src.mma import Ticket
+```
+
+### FR6: Move DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES to src/ai_client.py
+
+DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES is a categorization of MCP tools, which is the AI client's domain. Move it from src/models.py to src/ai_client.py.
+
+**Consumer site:** src/app_controller.py uses DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES.
+
+### FR7: Move Pydantic proxies to src/api_hooks.py
+
+The Pydantic proxies (_create_generate_request, _create_confirm_request, the Pydantic-specific __getattr__) are API-specific. Move them from src/models.py to src/api_hooks.py.
+
+**Consumer sites:** src/api_hooks.py, src/api_hook_client.py
+
+### FR8: Standardize ImGui usage on imgui_scopes.py context managers
+
+The files src/markdown_helper.py, src/theme_2.py, src/theme_nerv.py, src/theme_nerv_fx.py all use ImGui directly. Standardize on the imgui_scopes.py context manager pattern.
+
+**Pattern:**
+```python
+# OLD (direct):
+imgui.begin("My Window")
+# ... content ...
+imgui.end()
+
+# NEW (via imgui_scopes):
+with imgui.begin("My Window"):
+    # ... content ...
+```
+
+## Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- NFR1: 1-space indentation
+- NFR2: CRLF line endings on Windows
+- NFR3: No comments in source code
+- NFR4: Per-task atomic commits with git notes
+- NFR5: No new pip dependencies
+- NFR6: Result[T] returns for fallible fns
+
+## Architecture Reference
+
+- module_taxonomy_refactor_20260627 spec (the v2 4-criteria rule, data/view/ops split)
+- module_taxonomy_refactor_20260627 plan (the v2 16-commit plan)
+- module_taxonomy_refactor_20260627 TRACK_COMPLETION (Tier 2's report)
+- FOLLOWUP_module_taxonomy_v2_review (the review identifying these 2 critical bugs + 4 de-cruft tasks)
+- FOLLOWUP_module_taxonomy_refactor_20260627_recoverable (data is NOT lost)
+- scripts/generate_type_registry.py (the NameError bug)
+- scripts/audit_code_path_audit_coverage.py (the missing latest symlink)
+- src/models.py (the file being cleaned up)
+- src/imgui_scopes.py (the context manager module for FR8)
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- The 4-criteria rule itself (established in v2)
+- The data/view/ops split (established in v2)
+- Merging consumer files into the taxonomy moves (that's the v2 track)
+- The RAG test pre-existing flake
+- New ImGui-using files (only standardize existing)
+- Anything in src/aggregate.py (513 lines), src/app_controller.py (4869 lines), src/gui_2.py (7773 lines)
+- The cruft_elimination_20260627 track's work (already SHIPPED)

+| VC13 | 10/11 batched test tiers pass (re-verify after de-cruft) | same as VC4 |
+
+## Risks
+
+| # | Risk | Likelihood | Mitigation |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| R1 | Fixing the NameError: LEGACY_NAMES bug breaks other things | low | Run the type registry generation after fix; if it fails, investigate the original definition |
+| R2 | The latest symlink doesn't work on Windows (symlink restrictions) | medium | Use a .latest marker file instead of a symlink; update the audit script to read the marker |
+| R3 | Removing the __getattr__ shim breaks 30+ consumer sites | high | Per-file migration; run regression tests after each consumer-site update |
+| R4 | Moving DEFAULT_TOOL_CATEGORIES breaks app_controller.py | low | Single consumer; update + verify |
+| R5 | Moving Pydantic proxies breaks api_hooks.py and api_hook_client.py | low | 2 consumer sites; update + verify |
+| R6 | Standardizing ImGui usage in theme/markdown files breaks their tests | medium | Per-file refactor; run theme/markdown tests after each |
+| R7 | The v2 spec update is itself a "rewriting commits" pattern | low | The v2 spec is a TRACK ARTIFACT, not a commit in the v2 branch; updates to v2 spec are normal |
