Implement Claude Code hooks to enforce ADR-007 Memory-First Architecture
at runtime. Hooks inject context into Claude's session to ensure memory
retrieval precedes reasoning.

## Hooks
- Invoke-SessionStartMemoryFirst.ps1: Injects Phase 1/2 blocking gate
  requirements at session start (Serena init + context retrieval)
- Invoke-UserPromptMemoryCheck.ps1: Detects planning/implementation
  keywords and reminds about memory-first workflow

## Configuration
- .claude/settings.json: Registers hooks for SessionStart and
  UserPromptSubmit events using pwsh cross-platform execution

## Tests
- 34 Pester tests covering both hooks
- Keyword detection, case insensitivity, JSON parsing, output content

Addresses Issue #729 (E1: Claude Code Hooks)
Per ADR-005: PowerShell-only with Verb-Noun naming conventions

Add Test-MemoryEvidence function to Validate-Session.ps1 that:
- Finds memory-index row in Session Start checklist
- Detects placeholder evidence (empty, template text, brackets)
- Extracts memory names using kebab-case regex pattern
- Verifies each memory exists in .serena/memories/

Error codes: E_MEMORY_EVIDENCE_INVALID, E_MEMORY_NOT_FOUND

Includes 12 Pester tests covering valid evidence, placeholder
detection, invalid names, and edge cases.

Closes trust gap where agents could self-report memory retrieval
without actually doing it.

Hook now checks if Forgetful MCP is available via TCP port check and
provides appropriate guidance:

- When available: includes optional Forgetful step in context retrieval
- When unavailable: shows fallback guidance and installation commands

Uses TCP connection check instead of full MCP protocol (which requires
session initialization) for quick, reliable detection.

## Root Causes Fixed
1. Memory file naming violation (ADR-017): Remove duplicate skill-usage-mandatory.md
   - File used 'skill-' prefix which violates ADR-017 naming convention
   - usage-mandatory.md already exists with same content
   - Updated CLAUDE.md references to use 'usage-mandatory'

2. ErrorActionPreference style violation (gemini-code-assist feedback)
   - Changed from 'SilentlyContinue' to 'Stop' per style guide
   - Added 'finally' block for proper resource cleanup

3. systemd ExecStart paths (gemini-code-assist feedback)
   - Changed /home/$USER/ to %h/ specifier for portability
   - Applied in both CONTRIBUTING.md and scripts/forgetful/README.md

4. Fixed corrupted PowerShell comment terminator
   - '# >' was corrupted to '# >' (with space) by linting

## Not Fixed (pre-existing CI issue)
- Generate-Skills.Tests.ps1 failure: PSGallery not accessible
  (powershell-yaml module install fails)
  User has added PSGallery URLs to firewall allowlist

Enhances UserPromptSubmit hook to detect PR creation requests and inject
pre-PR validation checklist. This prevents CI failures by reminding the
agent to:

1. Run local Pester tests
2. Validate PowerShell script syntax
3. Check memory file naming (ADR-017)
4. Read validation-pre-pr-checklist memory
5. Avoid running markdownlint on .ps1 files

Triggered by keywords: "create pr", "open pull request", "gh pr create"

Adds 8 new Pester tests for PR detection functionality.

Session logs document agent work sessions and must comply with RFC 2119 requirements:

  • MUST: Required for compliance (blocking failures)
  • SHOULD: Recommended practices (warnings)
  • MAY: Optional enhancements

See .agents/SESSION-PROTOCOL.md for full specification.

Roadmap Review Details

Strategic Alignment Assessment

Criterion Rating Notes
Aligns with project goals High Documentation quality is foundational to multi-agent system; historical references enable traceability per roadmap vision
Priority appropriate High Protocol compliance is a governance requirement (MUST level); minimal effort (8 violations in 2 files)
User value clear Medium Value is indirect: future agents/developers benefit from traceable history; no immediate user-facing change
Investment justified High 8 line edits plus compliance plan. Effort proportionate to governance benefit.

Feature Completeness

  • Scope Assessment: Right-sized
  • Ship Ready: Yes
  • MVP Complete: Yes
  • Enhancement Opportunities: Future automated validation script (noted in protocol as "Future" item)

Impact Analysis

Dimension Assessment Notes
User Value Low No user-facing change; developer/agent-facing documentation quality
Business Impact Low Hygiene work; prevents future traceability debt
Technical Leverage Medium Compliance plan documents audit methodology reusable for future audits
Competitive Position Neutral Internal governance improvement

Concerns

Priority Concern Recommendation
Low Compliance plan references Issue #244, #249, #328, #329, #357, #438 without commit SHAs Acceptable: plan documents data sources, not historical decisions. Protocol targets decision documents.

Recommendations

  1. Merge as-is. Documentation-only change with correct date references.
  2. Consider automated validation script for future enforcement (already noted in protocol as future work).

Verdict

VERDICT: PASS
MESSAGE: Documentation hygiene change aligns with governance protocol. Right-sized scope, verified data sources, no strategic concerns.
Architect Review Details

Design Quality Assessment

Aspect Rating (1-5) Notes
Pattern Adherence 5 Documentation-only change follows single responsibility
Boundary Respect 5 Changes confined to .agents/ directories per protocol scope
Coupling 5 No dependencies introduced
Cohesion 5 All changes serve one purpose: protocol compliance
Extensibility 5 No extensibility concerns for documentation

Overall Design Score: 5/5

Architectural Concerns

Severity Concern Location Recommendation
None N/A N/A N/A

Breaking Change Assessment

  • Breaking Changes: No
  • Impact Scope: None
  • Migration Required: No
  • Migration Path: N/A

Technical Debt Analysis

  • Debt Added: None
  • Debt Reduced: Low (improves traceability of existing docs)
  • Net Impact: Improved

ADR Assessment

  • ADR Required: No
  • Decisions Identified: None (this is compliance with existing protocol, not a new architectural decision)
  • Existing ADR: N/A
  • Recommendation: N/A

Recommendations

  1. Consider automated validation in CI to prevent future violations (noted as "Future" in protocol)

Verdict

VERDICT: PASS
MESSAGE: Documentation-only change adds dates to historical references per established governance protocol. No code changes, no architectural impact.

Analysis

All 5 changed files are markdown documentation files (.md). Per QA evaluation principles:

Category File Patterns Test Requirements
DOCS *.md None required

Principle: Files without executable logic do not require tests.

Documentation Quality Check

Check Status Evidence
Broken links [PASS] All references use relative paths within repo or external GitHub URLs
Syntax errors [PASS] Markdown tables properly formatted, code blocks use correct fencing
Content accuracy [PASS] Dates added match documented sources (git log, gh API commands)

Changes Verified

The PR adds dates to historical references per protocol:


Verdict

VERDICT: PASS

Code Quality Assessment

Code Quality Score

Criterion Score (1-5) Notes
Readability 5 Clear date additions in consistent format
Maintainability 5 No logic changes, documentation only
Consistency 5 Follows established #NNN (YYYY-MM-DD) pattern from protocol
Simplicity 5 Minimal surgical changes to existing text

Overall: 5/5

Impact Assessment

  • Scope: Isolated (4 documentation files only)
  • Risk Level: Low (no code changes, read-only documentation updates)
  • Affected Components: .agents/analysis/, .agents/planning/, .agents/sessions/, .serena/memories/

Findings

Priority Category Finding Location
Low Consistency Line 85 has nested parenthetical (Issue #244 (2025-12-22) enhancement) which reads awkwardly 281-similar-pr-detection-review.md:85

Recommendations

  1. Consider reformatting line 85 to avoid nested parentheses: Detect-CopilotFollowUpPR.ps1: Specialized follow-up detection for Issue #244 (2025-12-22) enhancement or separate the date from the descriptive text.

Verdict

VERDICT: PASS
MESSAGE: Documentation-only changes correctly add dates to historical references per protocol. All 8 violations fixed with accurate dates verified from git/gh sources.
