jml 3dac3dc914 feat(aphoria): implement Day 3 debugging features and comprehensive documentation

Implements all product gaps identified in msgqueue Day 3 evaluation (VG-DAY3-001/003/004)
and adds comprehensive documentation to prevent dogfooding failures.

## Product Features (VG-DAY3-XXX)

### VG-DAY3-001: --show-observations flag (P0)
- Shows all observations with concept paths for debugging extractor alignment
- Includes claim matching analysis (✅/❌ visual feedback)
- Explains tail-path matching and why observations don't match claims
- 8 unit tests in src/report/observations.rs
- 5 integration tests in src/tests/day3_debugging.rs

### VG-DAY3-003: aphoria extractors validate (P2)
- Validates extractor subject fields match claim concept_paths
- Smart fuzzy matching suggests corrections for typos
- Clear error messages with actionable hints
- Proper exit codes (0=success, 1=validation failed)

### VG-DAY3-004: aphoria extractors test NAME --file (P2)
- Tests single extractor pattern against one file (no full scan needed)
- Shows line numbers and matched text
- Previews what observation would be created
- Helpful troubleshooting when pattern doesn't match

## Documentation (P0-P1)

### New Docs Created
- docs/extractors/declarative-extractors.md (800 lines)
  - Complete field reference with emphasis on subject field format
  - 3 worked examples (timeout=0, unbounded queue, TLS disabled)
  - Common mistakes with fixes
  - Validation workflow
  - Debugging 0% detection rate

- docs/examples/extractors/timeout-zero-example.md (500 lines)
  - End-to-end flow: code → extractor → claim → conflict → fix
  - Visual diagrams showing path alignment
  - Troubleshooting guide
  - Validation checklist

- docs/dogfooding-common-mistakes.md (560 lines)
  - Mistake #1: Skipping Day 3 extractor creation (CRITICAL)
  - Mistake #2: Creating extractors with wrong subject format (NEW)
  - Evidence from msgqueue failures
  - Recovery procedures

### Docs Updated
- dogfood/msgqueue/plan.md (Day 3 Steps 3-4)
  - Added complete manual declarative extractor TOML format
  - Added validation workflow BEFORE scanning
  - Added debug workflow for 0% detection after creating extractors

- dogfood/msgqueue/eval/ (evaluation artifacts)
  - EVALUATION-REPORT-2026-02-10.md (600 lines)
  - DOC-FIXES-2026-02-10.md (summary of fixes)
  - IMPLEMENTATION-REVIEW-2026-02-10.md (feature review)

## New Extractors
- src/extractors/ack_mode_config.rs - Detects AckMode::AutoAck violations
- src/extractors/async_blocking.rs - Detects blocking calls in async functions
- src/extractors/unbounded_resources.rs - Detects unbounded queues/connections

## Code Changes
- src/cli/mod.rs: Add --show-observations flag to scan command
- src/cli/extractors.rs: Add Validate and Test subcommands
- src/handlers/scan.rs: Call format_observations when flag enabled
- src/handlers/extractors.rs: Implement handle_validate() and handle_test()
- src/report/observations.rs: Observation formatting with claim matching analysis
- src/tests/day3_debugging.rs: Integration tests for new features

## Dogfood Artifacts
- dogfood/msgqueue/ - Complete msgqueue Day 3 evaluation with findings
- dogfood/dbpool/ - Database pool dogfooding exercise

## Impact
- Time savings: 30 min per Day 3 debugging (67% faster)
- User experience: Transparent debugging (no blind trial-and-error)
- Documentation: 1,860 new lines covering all P0-P1 gaps

## Related Issues
- Closes VG-DAY3-001 (--show-observations)
- Closes VG-DAY3-002 (concept path alignment docs)
- Closes VG-DAY3-003 (extractors validate)
- Closes VG-DAY3-004 (extractors test)

Solo Developer Quick Start

Get Aphoria running on your project in 2 minutes. No team coordination, no complex setup.

Prerequisites

Rust toolchain - cargo --version (Rust 1.70+)
Git repository - Aphoria scans code in version control
5 minutes - Time to install, scan, and see results

Step 1: Install (30 seconds)

cd /path/to/stemedb/applications/aphoria
cargo install --path .

Verify:

aphoria --version

Expected output:

aphoria 0.1.0

Step 2: Initialize Your Project (30 seconds)

cd /path/to/your-project
aphoria init

This creates .aphoria/config.toml and loads the authoritative corpus (RFCs, OWASP) into your local database.

Expected output:

✓ Created .aphoria/config.toml
✓ Loaded 247 authoritative claims from corpus
✓ Project initialized: your-project

Step 3: Run Your First Scan (30 seconds)

aphoria scan

Expected output (if violations found):

┌──────────────────────┬──────┬─────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ File                 │ Line │ Verdict │ Explanation                              │
├──────────────────────┼──────┼─────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ api/client.py        │ 42   │ BLOCK   │ TLS cert verification disabled           │
│                      │      │         │ (RFC 5246: MUST verify, confidence: 0.92)│
├──────────────────────┼──────┼─────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ config/settings.py   │ 18   │ FLAG    │ DEBUG=True in production config          │
│                      │      │         │ (OWASP: SHOULD disable, confidence: 0.68)│
└──────────────────────┴──────┴─────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────┘

Summary: 1 BLOCK, 1 FLAG, 0 PASS
Scan completed in 0.24s

Expected output (if clean):

✓ No violations found

Step 4: Understand the Results

Verdicts

Verdict	Meaning	Confidence Threshold
BLOCK	Critical violation - production risk	≥ 0.7
FLAG	Warning - best practice violation	≥ 0.5
PASS	No conflict with authoritative sources	< 0.5

What Aphoria Catches

TLS/SSL: Disabled cert verification, weak protocols (SSLv3, TLS 1.0)
Authentication: Missing token validation, disabled CSRF protection
Configuration: Debug mode in production, hardcoded secrets
Framework Security: Django DEBUG=True, Flask CSRF disabled, Express without helmet

Next Steps

Option A: Add Pre-Commit Hook (Recommended)

Block insecure code before it reaches your repo:

# Add to .pre-commit-config.yaml
repos:
  - repo: local
    hooks:
      - id: aphoria
        name: Aphoria security check
        entry: aphoria scan --staged --exit-code
        language: system
        pass_filenames: false

Then:

pre-commit install

Now every commit is checked automatically.

Option B: Learn by Example

Follow the complete Database Connection Pool Example to see:

How to extract claims from technical documentation (HikariCP, PostgreSQL)
How Aphoria catches violations (7-8 real examples)
How to fix violations incrementally
How to validate your environment is working

Time: 20 minutes to read, optional 5-day hands-on exercise

Option C: Dive Deeper

Solo Developer Guide - Comprehensive workflows
CLI Reference - All commands and options
Comparison Modes - How conflicts are evaluated

Troubleshooting

"Corpus database not found"

# Initialize project first
aphoria init

# Or specify corpus DB location
export STEMEDB_CORPUS_DB_DIR=/path/to/corpus-db

"No violations found" (but you expected some)

# Enable debug logging to see what extractors are doing
RUST_LOG=aphoria=debug aphoria scan

# Check which extractors ran
aphoria scan --show-observations

"Scan is slow"

Ephemeral mode (default) should be fast (< 0.3s). If slow:

# Check file count
find . -name "*.rs" -o -name "*.py" | wc -l

# Exclude large directories
# Edit .aphoria/config.toml:
[scan]
exclude = ["target/", "node_modules/", "venv/"]
