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

# Database Connection Pool (`dbpool`) - Aphoria Dogfood Exercise
**Status:** 🎯 **READY FOR NEXT TEAM RUN** (Reset: 2026-02-09)
## What This Is
A 5-day dogfood exercise to demonstrate Aphoria's code-level truth linting by:
1. Creating authoritative claims about database connection pools
2. Writing intentionally violating code
3. Using Aphoria to detect all violations
4. Fixing violations incrementally
5. Documenting the success story
## Quick Start
**Before you begin, run the pre-flight validator:**
```bash
./scripts/validate-setup.sh
```
This checks all prerequisites and shows you exactly what to fix.
**Then read the execution guide:**
```bash
cat CHECKLIST.md # Day-by-day execution checklist with templates
cat CLAUDE.md # Development commands and architecture
cat plan.md # Complete 5-day plan with detailed schedule
```
## What's Been Reset
This directory has been cleaned up from a previous run:
### ✅ Kept (Ready to Use)
- **Documentation** (updated based on team evaluation)
- `CHECKLIST.md` - Fixed Day 1 structure, added 27 claim checkboxes, practice bridge
- `CLAUDE.md` - Development commands, architecture reference
- `plan.md` - Complete 5-day schedule
- `docs/claim-extraction-example.md` - Complete walkthrough with worked examples
- `docs/flywheel-setup.md` - **NEW:** Flywheel configuration guide
- `docs/sources/` - Authority source documents (HikariCP, PostgreSQL, OWASP)
- **Configuration**
- `.aphoria/config.toml` - Pre-configured with flywheel settings (persistent mode, aggregation enabled)
- `.claude/` - Claude Code skills and configuration
- **Tools**
- `scripts/validate-setup.sh` - Pre-flight validation script
- **Previous Run Analysis** (for reference)
- `eval/` - Evaluation reports from 2026-02-09 run documenting what went wrong
### ❌ Removed (Will Be Created During Exercise)
- `src/` - Implementation code (Day 2)
- `tests/` - Test suite (Day 2)
- `Cargo.toml` - Rust manifest (Day 2)
- `scan-results-*.json` - Scan outputs (Day 3+)
- `IMPLEMENTATION-SUMMARY.md` - Moved to `eval/`
## Documentation Improvements
Based on team evaluation (see `eval/EVALUATION-REPORT-2026-02-09.md`), the following fixes were applied:
### 🔧 What Was Fixed
1. **Day 1 Heading Clarity** - Changed from "Information Needed" to "Create 25-30 Claims"
2. **Success Criteria Visible** - Added verification command at top of Day 1
3. **27 Checkbox Items** - All claims now have checkboxes (vs prose that was skipped)
4. **Practice Bridge** - Added 3 practice claims after reading example
5. **Step Numbers** - Clear Step 1, 2, 3, 4 structure for Day 1
6. **Flywheel Documentation** - New `docs/flywheel-setup.md` guide
7. **Day 3 Flywheel Setup** - Added critical configuration section before scanning
### 📊 Expected Impact
- **Previous run:** Team created 0/27 claims, thought Day 1 was 90% complete
- **Expected now:** 85-90% completion rate with clear checkboxes and deliverables
## Day-by-Day Overview
| Day | Focus | Key Deliverable | Time |
|-----|-------|-----------------|------|
| **Day 1** | Corpus Building | 25-30 claims created via CLI | 4-6 hours |
| **Day 2** | Implementation | Working code with 7-8 intentional violations | 4-5 hours |
| **Day 3** | Scanning | Initial scan showing all violations | 2-3 hours |
| **Day 4** | Remediation | Progressive fixes with re-scans | 4-5 hours |
| **Day 5** | Documentation | Success story, demo materials | 3-4 hours |
**Total:** ~20 hours (5 days at 4 hours/day)
## Success Metrics
After completion, you should have:
- ✅ 25-30 claims in corpus database
- ✅ 7-8 violations detected in initial scan
- ✅ 100% detection accuracy (no false positives/negatives)
- ✅ Scan performance ≤0.3s (ephemeral mode)
- ✅ Progressive fixes showing improvement
- ✅ Final clean scan (0 violations)
- ✅ Compelling success story
- ✅ Live demo materials
## Prerequisites
Run `./scripts/validate-setup.sh` to verify:
1. Aphoria CLI installed (`aphoria --version`)
2. StemeDB API running on `:18180`
3. Corpus database accessible at `~/.aphoria/corpus-db/`
4. Corpus API returns data
5. `jq` JSON processor installed
6. Rust toolchain available
7. Aphoria extractors detect patterns
## Important Notes
1. **Read `docs/claim-extraction-example.md` first** (Day 1)
- 15-20 minutes to understand claim extraction
- Prevents creating garbage "observations" instead of real claims
2. **Configure flywheel before Day 3** (see `docs/flywheel-setup.md`)
- Switch from ephemeral to persistent mode
- Enable pattern aggregation
- Demonstrates learning capability
3. **Intentional violations are educational** (Day 2)
- You're deliberately writing bad code to test detection
- This is normal and expected for dogfooding
4. **Save all scan results** (Day 3-4)
- `scan-results-v1.json` through `scan-results-v6.json`
- Needed for before/after evidence in Day 5 documentation
## Getting Help
- **Aphoria CLI issues:** Check `applications/aphoria/README.md`
- **API issues:** Verify `http://localhost:18180/health`
- **Corpus issues:** Query `curl 'http://localhost:18180/v1/aphoria/corpus'`
- **Common issues:** See `CHECKLIST.md` troubleshooting section
## What Makes This Different
This dogfood exercise demonstrates:
- **Real authority sources** (HikariCP, PostgreSQL, OWASP)
- **Verifiable violations** (connection exhaustion, credential exposure, validation gaps)
- **Prevented incidents** (estimated $50K+ in production outages)
- **Production-ready output** (final code is genuinely deployable)
## Next Steps
1. **Run pre-flight validation:** `./scripts/validate-setup.sh`
2. **Read Day 1 checklist:** `cat CHECKLIST.md | head -300`
3. **Start with claim extraction example:** `cat docs/claim-extraction-example.md`
4. **Begin Day 1:** Follow CHECKLIST.md to create 25-30 claims
