## Phase 17: Pattern Enrichment & Best Practices Infrastructure ✅

**Backend infrastructure for enriched corpus patterns and team guideline ingestion.**

> Note: Backend only — UI integration not implemented. Patterns have metadata but dashboard doesn't display it yet.

### 17.1 Enriched Pattern Metadata ✅

**What:** Transform bare patterns like "md5: true" into actionable insights "MD5 is deprecated (NIST 2010)".

| Task | Status |
|------|--------|
| Add enrichment fields to `PatternAggregate` (category, verdict, explanation, authority_source) | ✅ |
| Add `pattern_metadata()` method to `Extractor` trait | ✅ |
| Create `PatternEnricher` service with exact/wildcard matching + noise detection | ✅ `corpus/enricher.rs` |
| Implement `pattern_metadata()` for 10 security extractors | ✅ See below |

**Enriched Extractors:**
- `WeakCryptoExtractor` — MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4 deprecated
- `TlsVersionExtractor` — TLS 1.0/1.1 deprecated, 1.2/1.3 recommended
- `TlsVerifyExtractor` — cert_verification: false insecure
- `JwtConfigExtractor` — algorithm: none forbidden
- `CorsConfigExtractor` — allow_origin: * insecure
- `HardcodedSecretsExtractor` — API keys/passwords critical
- `SqlInjectionExtractor` — string interpolation vulnerable
- `CommandInjectionExtractor` — shell exec vulnerable
- `PathTraversalExtractor` — user-controlled paths vulnerable
- `InsecureDeserializationExtractor` — pickle/yaml.load unsafe

### 17.2 TeamPolicy Authority Tier ✅

**What:** New tier 2.5 between Observational and Expert for team-level architectural guidelines.

| Task | Status |
|------|--------|
| Add `TeamPolicy` variant to `SourceClass` enum | ✅ `stemedb-core/src/types/source.rs` |
| Add tier_fractional() for 2.5 representation | ✅ |
| Update authority_weight() (0.6) and default_decay_days() (180) | ✅ |
| Add "team_policy" parsing to `parse_authority_tier()` | ✅ `aphoria/src/types/authored_claim.rs` |
| Update all DTO conversions (API, ontology) | ✅ |

### 17.3 Best Practices Import CLI ✅

**What:** Batch import claims from TOML files (e.g., hexagonal architecture guidelines).

| Task | Status |
|------|--------|
| Add `Import` subcommand to `ClaimsCommands` | ✅ `cli/claims.rs` |
| Implement `handle_claims_import()` with merge strategies | ✅ `handlers/claims.rs` |
| Support `--authority-tier` override | ✅ |
| Support `--source-guide` for tracking | ✅ |
| Support `--dry-run` for preview | ✅ |
| Merge strategies: skip_existing, overwrite, fail_on_duplicate | ✅ |

**Usage:**
```bash
aphoria claims import docs/guidelines.toml \
  --authority-tier team_policy \
  --source-guide "hexagonal-arch" \
  --dry-run
```

### 17.4 Guideline Tracking System ✅

**What:** Track which guidelines have been imported for compliance filtering and change detection.

| Task | Status |
|------|--------|
| Create `GuidelineMetadata` struct | ✅ `types/ingested_guides.rs` |
| Create `IngestedGuidesFile` with TOML persistence | ✅ |
| Track: id, name, source_path, document_hash, claim_ids | ✅ |
| Integrate with import command | ✅ |
| Store in `.aphoria/ingested_guides.toml` | ✅ |

### 17.5 Updated Comparison Modes ✅

| Task | Status |
|------|--------|
| Add `Contains` comparison mode | ✅ `types/authored_claim.rs` |
| Add `NotContains` comparison mode | ✅ |
| Update API DTOs | ✅ `stemedb-api/src/dto/aphoria/types.rs` |

### What's NOT Implemented

❌ **Dashboard UI Integration** — Enrichment metadata exists in backend but no UI to display it
❌ **Category Badges** — No visual badges for security/architecture/performance
❌ **Verdict Badges** — No visual indicators for deprecated/recommended
❌ **Filtering UI** — No dropdown to filter patterns by category
❌ **"Hide Noise" Toggle** — Noise detection works but no UI control
❌ **--check-policy Flag** — Backend ready but scan filtering not implemented

### Files Modified

**Core:**
- `crates/stemedb-core/src/types/source.rs` — TeamPolicy tier
- `crates/stemedb-storage/src/pattern_aggregate_store/mod.rs` — Enrichment fields

- `crates/stemedb-api/src/handlers/aphoria/claims.rs` — Comparison mode conversion
- `crates/stemedb-api/src/handlers/layered.rs` — SourceClass conversion

**Ontology:**
