Project Instructions for AI Agents

This file provides instructions and context for AI coding agents working on this project.

Beads Issue Tracker

This project uses bd (beads) for issue tracking. Run bd prime to see full workflow context and commands.

Quick Reference

bd ready              # Find available work
bd show <id>          # View issue details
bd update <id> --claim  # Claim work
bd close <id>         # Complete work

Rules

• Use bd for ALL task tracking — do NOT use TodoWrite, TaskCreate, or markdown TODO lists
• Run bd prime for detailed command reference and session close protocol
• Use bd remember for persistent knowledge — do NOT use MEMORY.md files

Session Completion

When ending a work session, you MUST complete ALL steps below. Work is NOT complete until git push succeeds.

MANDATORY WORKFLOW:

1. File issues for remaining work - Create issues for anything that needs follow-up
2. Run quality gates (if code changed) - Tests, linters, builds
3. Update issue status - Close finished work, update in-progress items
4. PUSH TO REMOTE - This is MANDATORY:

   git pull --rebase
   bd dolt push
   git push
   git status  # MUST show "up to date with origin"
   

5. Clean up - Clear stashes, prune remote branches
6. Verify - All changes committed AND pushed
7. Hand off - Provide context for next session

CRITICAL RULES:

• Work is NOT complete until git push succeeds
• NEVER stop before pushing - that leaves work stranded locally
• NEVER say "ready to push when you are" - YOU must push
• If push fails, resolve and retry until it succeeds

Build & Test

pip install -e .
pytest

Architecture Overview

homemaker-layout is a Python successor to the Perl Urb project. It represents a building as a binary slicing tree where leaves carry target dimensions from the programme and division ratios are solved bottom-up (inverting Urb's top-down approach). The evolutionary search explores topology, types, and adjacency only.

Key modules:

• dom.py — read/write Urb .dom YAML into a Node tree
• geometry.py — faithful port of Urb's top-down geometry
• programme.py — parse patterns.config space requirements
• solver.py — bottom-up ratio solve (scipy)
• fitness.py — native Python fitness evaluator (replaces Perl oracle)
• fitness_cmd.py — homemaker-fitness CLI entry point
• graph.py — leaf-adjacency graph for programme-driven fitness checks
• genome.py — topology genome: base-floor tree + per-storey deltas
• operators.py — high-locality mutation and subtree crossover
• innerloop.py — ratio optimisation inner loop (Nelder-Mead / CMA-ES)
• driver.py — memetic search outer loop
• evolve.py — homemaker-evolve CLI entry point
• oracle.py — legacy Perl shim, kept for validation only; do not use in new code

Conventions & Patterns

Scoring .dom files

Use the native homemaker-fitness command. Like the old urb-fitness.pl, you must cd to the directory containing the .dom file first — the tool resolves patterns.config, costs.config, and writes .score/.fails relative to cwd:

cd /home/bruno/src/homemaker-layout/examples/programme-house
homemaker-fitness cf0b8a77e8b2325f92a7e7d150184a55.dom

The score is written to <file>.dom.score and failures to <file>.dom.fails; the numeric score is also printed to stderr.

Do not use urb-fitness.pl directly — oracle.py and the Perl tool are kept only for cross-validation.
