+description: "Cyclone FastAPI router conventions (api_routers/, api_helpers.py, response shapes, error envelopes). Use when: adding or changing an HTTP endpoint, splitting a route out of api.py, or wiring a new helper into api_helpers.py."
+---
+
+# cyclone-api-router
+
+Cyclone splits its FastAPI surface two ways: small resource-group
+routers live in `backend/src/cyclone/api_routers/<topic>.py` and are
+mounted bare into `api.py`; the high-traffic streaming and parse
+endpoints still live as top-level decorators in `api.py` itself. This
+skill codifies the conventions so additions stay consistent with the
+four routers already shipped (`acks`, `admin`, `health`, `ta1_acks`).
+
+As of this writing: **4 router modules** under
+`backend/src/cyclone/api_routers/`, **one shared helpers module** at
+`backend/src/cyclone/api_helpers.py` (248 lines, NDJSON primitives +
+content negotiation + `tail_events`), and ~30 routes still inlined
+in `backend/src/cyclone/api.py`. The next refactor target is the
+parse endpoints.
+
+## Auth gate (SP24)
+
+Every router declared in `backend/src/cyclone/api_routers/` **must** carry `dependencies=[Depends(matrix_gate)]` at the `APIRouter(...)` declaration — not on each individual endpoint. The gate lives at `backend/src/cyclone/auth/deps.py:107` and the role matrix is at `backend/src/cyclone/auth/permissions.py`. The roles are `admin / user / viewer`; `matrix_gate` returns 401 when there's no session and 403 when the role is below the endpoint's required role. When `AUTH_DISABLED` is True (conftest autouse fixture flips it; `CYCLONE_AUTH_DISABLED=1` in prod-by-mistake), the gate short-circuits to a synthetic admin — see the SP24 spec for the threat-model implications. New routers get the gate by default; the auth-aware convention is `router = APIRouter(dependencies=[Depends(matrix_gate)])`.
+
+## When to use
+
+- **Adding an endpoint.** You're adding a new GET / POST handler —
+  you need to know whether it belongs in `api.py` (parse / streaming)
+  or in a new router under `api_routers/`, and what the response
+  shape and test file conventions look like.
+- **Splitting a route.** You're moving a route out of `api.py` into a
+  dedicated `api_routers/<topic>.py` module and need the import /
+  mounting rules (`from cyclone.api_routers import <topic>` then
+  `app.include_router(<topic>.router)`).
+- **Adding a helper.** You're wiring a new function into
+  `api_helpers.py` (NDJSON primitive, content-negotiation probe,
+  tail-event helper) and need to keep it private to the API layer.
+- **Defining an error response.** You're raising from a route handler
+  and need the conventional `HTTPException(status_code=..., detail=...)`
+  shape used everywhere else in the API surface.
+
+## Conventions
+
+1. **No new top-level routes in `api.py` for resource groups.** Any
+   endpoint grouped under a resource (`/api/<resource>` and its
+   `/{id}` detail) lives in `backend/src/cyclone/api_routers/<topic>.py`
+   as an `APIRouter`. The streaming list endpoints (`/api/claims/stream`,
+   `/api/remittances/stream`, `/api/activity/stream`) and the parse
+   endpoints (`/api/parse-*`) currently stay in `api.py` because they
+   span multiple store modules — don't move them unless you're also
+   restructuring the store split.
+2. **Reuse `api_helpers.py`.** NDJSON primitives (`ndjson_line`,
+   `ndjson_stream_list`, `ndjson_stream_837`, `ndjson_stream_835`),
+   content negotiation (`client_wants_json`, `wants_ndjson`), the
+   strict / `raw_segments` rewrites (`strict_rewrite_837`,
+   `strict_rewrite_835`, `drop_raw_segments_837`, `drop_raw_segments_835`),
+   and the shared live-tail generator (`tail_events`,
+   `heartbeat_seconds`) all live there. Don't duplicate them in a
+   router. The module's docstring (`api_helpers.py:1-18`) declares it
+   private to the API layer — no business logic, no DB writes.
+3. **Response shape.** Every successful response is a **plain dict**
+   produced by a per-router `<entity>_to_ui(row)` helper (see
+   `_ack_to_ui` at `api_routers/acks.py:29-48` and `_ta1_to_ui` at
+   `api_routers/ta1_acks.py:23-37`). This dict shape **must** match
+   the matching `<entity>_written` event payload so live-tail pages
+   don't drift (see `cyclone-store` for the serializer contract).
+   Errors use FastAPI's `HTTPException` with a `detail` dict of the
+   form `{"error": "<Title>", "detail": "<message>"}` —
+   `acks.py:85-88`, `ta1_acks.py:72`. There is **no** shared
+   `ErrorEnvelope` Pydantic model; the `detail` dict is the contract.
+4. **Mounting.** Routers are mounted bare in `api.py:251-256` —
+   `app.include_router(<name>.router)` with **no** `prefix=`
+   argument. Each `@router.<verb>` decorator carries the **full**
+   `/api/<resource>` path itself (see `acks.py:51,75`,
+   `ta1_acks.py:49,67`, `admin.py:23`, `health.py:28`). The
+   `router = APIRouter()` declaration carries no `tags=` either —
+   keep it minimal.
+5. **Streaming endpoints.** Use
+   `StreamingResponse(media_type="application/x-ndjson")` and feed it
+   either `ndjson_stream_list(items, total, returned, has_more)` (for
+   list pages) or `tail_events(request, bus, kinds)` (for live-tail
+   pages). See `acks.py:62-66` for the list-stream skeleton and
+   `api.py:1357-1401` for the full live-tail pattern (snapshot →
+   `snapshot_end` → subscription → heartbeats). See `cyclone-tail`
+   for the wire format.
+6. **Tests.** Every new endpoint gets a `test_api_<topic>_<verb>.py`
+   under `backend/tests/` (see `cyclone-tests` for the naming
+   convention + autouse `conftest.py`). Existing examples:
+   `test_api_validate_provider.py` (admin),
+   `test_api_parse_persists_ack.py` (acks).
+
+## Patterns
+
+### A new `APIRouter` skeleton
+
+Pattern from `backend/src/cyclone/api_routers/acks.py:1-72`. Module
+docstring names the resource, imports the shared helpers, declares
+`router = APIRouter()` with no prefix, and defines a `_foo_to_ui(row)`
+mapper at module scope.
+
+```python
+"""``/api/foo`` — list & detail endpoints for <topic>."""
+from __future__ import annotations
+
+from fastapi import APIRouter, HTTPException, Query, Request
+from fastapi.responses import StreamingResponse
+
+from cyclone.api_helpers import ndjson_stream_list, wants_ndjson
+from cyclone.store import store
+
+router = APIRouter()
+
+
+def _foo_to_ui(row) -> dict:
+    """Map a Foo ORM row to the UI shape used by ``/api/foo``."""
+    return {"id": row.id, "name": row.name}
+
+
+@router.get("/api/foo")
+def list_foo(
+    request: Request,
+    limit: int = Query(100, ge=1, le=1000),
+):
+    """Return the list of persisted Foo rows, newest first."""
+    rows = store.list_foo()
+    items = [_foo_to_ui(r) for r in rows[:limit]]
+    total = len(rows)
+    returned = len(items)
+    has_more = total > returned
+    if wants_ndjson(request):
+        return StreamingResponse(
+            ndjson_stream_list(items, total, returned, has_more),
+            media_type="application/x-ndjson",
+        )
+    return {"items": items, "total": total, "returned": returned, "has_more": has_more}
+```
+
+### A `get_<topic>` detail endpoint with 404
+
+Pattern from `api_routers/acks.py:75-104` and `ta1_acks.py:67-76`.
+Path param is `<entity>_id` (not `id`) so it doesn't shadow
+FastAPI's internal `id` and the OpenAPI docs stay self-describing.
+
+```python
+@router.get("/api/foo/{foo_id}")
+def get_foo(foo_id: int) -> dict:
+    """Return one persisted Foo row with its parsed detail.
+
+    Path param is ``foo_id`` (not ``id``) to avoid shadowing
+    FastAPI's internal ``id`` name and to keep OpenAPI docs
+    self-describing. Returns 404 when the row is missing — never 500.
+    """
+    row = store.get_foo(foo_id)
+    if row is None:
+        raise HTTPException(
+            status_code=404,
+            detail={"error": "Not found", "detail": f"Foo {foo_id} not found"},
+        )
+    return _foo_to_ui(row)
+```
+
+### Mounting in `api.py`
+
+Pattern from `backend/src/cyclone/api.py:246-256`. The block lives
+just after middleware registration and just before the first
+`@app.<verb>` decorator.
+
+```python
+# Resource-group routers. Each module owns its own APIRouter and is
+# registered below. New resources go in `cyclone.api_routers.<name>`
+# and are wired in here.
+from cyclone.api_routers import acks, admin, health, ta1_acks  # noqa: E402
+
+app.include_router(health.router)
+app.include_router(acks.router)
+app.include_router(ta1_acks.router)
+app.include_router(admin.router)
+```
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+- **Don't import from `cyclone.api` into a router — the dependency runs the other way.** Routers are mounted *into* `api.py` (`api_routers/acks.py` etc. know nothing about `cyclone.api`). A circular import would silently break the `from cyclone.api_routers import ...` block at `api.py:251`.
+- **Don't introduce Pydantic response models where the codebase returns dicts.** Every existing list / detail endpoint returns a plain dict produced by a `<entity>_to_ui(row)` helper (see `acks.py:29-48`, `ta1_acks.py:23-37`). That dict shape **is** the event payload that `<entity>_written` carries — see `cyclone-store`. Introducing a Pydantic model on one side drifts the event payload from the list shape and silently breaks live-tail dedup.
+- **Don't bypass `CycloneStore` to query the ORM directly from a route.** Always call `store.<method>(...)` (`store.list_acks()`, `store.get_ta1_ack(ack_id)`) so the read path picks up the same session + snapshot serializer as the live-tail subscriber. A raw `with db.SessionLocal()() as s: s.get(Foo, foo_id)` in a handler bypasses the serializer contract and breaks the event-payload match. See `cyclone-store`.
+- **Don't set `prefix=` on `APIRouter`.** Mount the router bare (`app.include_router(<name>.router)`) and put the full `/api/<resource>` path in the decorator. Mixing the two styles scatters the URL across two files and breaks `grep "/api/foo"` audits.
+
+## Related skills
+
+- **`cyclone-store`** — most routes call `store.<method>(...)` and the dict payload **is** the `<entity>_written` event payload; load when adding a route so the read path stays aligned with the pubsub contract.
+- **`cyclone-tail`** — streaming endpoints (`/api/<resource>/stream`) and the NDJSON wire format; load when adding a live-tail route or changing the wire format.
+- **`cyclone-edi`** — parse endpoints (`/api/parse-837`, `/api/parse-835`, `/api/parse-999`, `/api/parse-ta1`, `/api/parse-277ca`) currently live in `api.py`; load when adding or changing a parse endpoint.
+- **`cyclone-tests`** — endpoint tests follow the `test_api_<topic>_<verb>.py` naming under `backend/tests/`; load when writing the test for a new endpoint.

+description: "Cyclone CLI subcommand conventions (cli.py — Click group + subcommands parse-837/parse-835/validate-npi/validate-tax-id/backup, --yes + click.confirm for destructive ops, exit codes 0/1/2, CliRunner smoke tests in backend/tests/test_cli_*.py). Use when: adding a CLI subcommand, changing an exit code, adding a smoke test, or wiring a security-sensitive command (backup, key rotation, anything touching secrets.py)."
+---
+
+# cyclone-cli
+
+The operator-facing CLI is a **Click** group at `cli.py:45` (`@click.group()` for `main`), mounted as the `cyclone` console script in `pyproject.toml:54` (`cyclone = "cyclone.cli:main"`). Seven subcommands ship today: `parse-837`, `parse-835`, `validate-npi`, `validate-tax-id`, plus the `backup` group (`init-passphrase`, `create`, `list`, `verify`, `restore`, `prune`, `status`). `serve` lives separately in `__main__.py:19` (dispatches `uvicorn cyclone.api:app`).
+
+## When to use
+
+- **Adding a subcommand.** You need a new operator command (e.g. `cyclone rotate-key`) and want to match the existing Click decorator + smoke-test rhythm.
+- **Changing an exit code.** You're tweaking which `sys.exit(N)` a subcommand raises and need the 0/1/2 contract used by `parse_837`, `parse_835`, `validate_npi_cmd`, `validate_tax_id_cmd`, and the `backup` group.
+- **Adding a smoke test.** You need `backend/tests/test_cli_<name>.py` using `click.testing.CliRunner` (NOT `subprocess.run`) and want the canonical fixture + monkeypatch layout (Keychain stub, fresh SQLite, `CYCLONE_BACKUP_DIR`).
+- **Wiring a security-sensitive command.** Anything touching `cyclone/secrets.py` (Keychain writes), DB key rotation, or destructive restores needs the two-step confirm dance used by `backup restore` / `backup prune` (`cli.py:462,509`).
+
+## Conventions
+
+1. **Click decorator pattern, not argparse.** Each subcommand is a
+   top-level function decorated with `@main.command("<name>")` and
+   one `@click.option` / `@click.argument` per parameter. Group
+   dispatch is implicit — no `set_defaults(func=...)` and no
+   `cmd_<name>(args) -> int` signature. Top-level commands at
+   `cli.py:77,151,241,261,303`; the `backup` sub-group nests a
+   second `@main.group()` (`cli.py:303`) with its own
+   `@backup.command("<name>")` children.
+2. **Long-form flags for safety.** Prefer `--rotate-key`,
+   `--backup-dir`, `--from-stdin` over positional args for anything
+   that mutates state or takes a secret. `init-passphrase`
+   (`cli.py:308-311`) demonstrates the canonical "flag OR stdin"
+   pattern: `--passphrase` for automation, `--from-stdin` for
+   interactive `getpass()` prompting.
+3. **Exit codes: 0 / 1 / 2.** `0` = success. `1` = user / input
+   error (invalid NPI/EIN at `cli.py:258,277,285`; Keychain write
+   failure at `cli.py:341,351`; tampered-backup verify at
+   `cli.py:459`). `2` = operator / parse error
+   (`CycloneParseError` at `cli.py:106,178`; passphrase
+   empty/mismatch/short at `cli.py:331,337`). Document the codes
+   in the docstring (see `validate_npi_cmd` at `cli.py:244-250`).
+   Use `click.UsageError(...)` for usage mistakes; reserve
+   `sys.exit(2)` for "the file failed to parse" semantics.
+4. **Smoke test with `click.testing.CliRunner`.** Every new
+   subcommand gets `backend/tests/test_cli_<name>.py` that
+   imports `from cyclone.cli import main` and invokes via
+   `CliRunner().invoke(main, [...], catch_exceptions=False)`. The
+   test must stub Keychain (`monkeypatch.setattr(secrets_mod,
+   "get_secret"/"set_secret", ...)`) and pin a temp SQLite DB via
+   `CYCLONE_DB_URL` + `db._reset_for_tests()` — see
+   `backend/tests/test_cli_backup.py:13-69` for the canonical
+   `_cli_env` fixture. CliRunner captures output and exit codes
+   in-process; do NOT shell out to `subprocess.run`.
+5. **Destructive ops need `--yes` + `click.confirm(abort=True)`.**
+   `backup restore` (`cli.py:462-506`) and `backup prune`
+   (`cli.py:509-537`) both gate the destructive action behind a
+   `--yes` is_flag and an interactive `click.confirm(..., abort=True)`
+   prompt. CliRunner auto-aborts confirm prompts, so smoke tests
+   assert `exit_code != 0` when `--yes` is omitted
+   (`test_cli_backup.py:122-137`). A `--dry-run` flag is NOT yet
+   implemented anywhere; if needed, mirror the `--yes` pattern.
+
+## Patterns
+
+### A Click subcommand — `@main.command("<name>")` + options
+
+From `cli.py:241-258` (smallest standalone subcommand):
+
+```python
+@main.command("validate-npi")
+@click.argument("npi")
+@click.option("--log-level", default="WARNING", show_default=True,
+              type=click.Choice(["DEBUG", "INFO", "WARNING", "ERROR"]))
+def validate_npi_cmd(npi: str, log_level: str) -> None:
+    """Validate a 10-digit NPI's Luhn checksum locally (SP20). Exit 0 valid, 1 invalid. PHI — don't log the value."""
+    setup_logging(level=log_level)
+    from cyclone.npi import is_valid_npi
+    if is_valid_npi(npi):
+        click.echo(f"OK: {len(npi)}-digit NPI passes Luhn checksum")
+        return
+    click.echo(f"INVALID: {npi!r} fails NPI Luhn checksum", err=True)
+    sys.exit(1)
+```
+
+### A smoke test — `CliRunner` + Keychain stub + temp SQLite
+
+From `test_cli_backup.py:13-69`. Stable hex salt keeps multiple `CliRunner` invocations consistent within one test. The `Batch` seed at `cli_backup.py:27-35` is omitted — only the Keychain + DB plumbing is the convention:
+
+```python
+@pytest.fixture
+def _cli_env(tmp_path, monkeypatch):
+    from cyclone import db, secrets as secrets_mod
+    from cyclone import backup_service as svc_mod
+
+    monkeypatch.setenv("CYCLONE_DB_URL", f"sqlite:///{tmp_path}/test.db")
+    db._reset_for_tests()
+    db.init_db()
+    # ... seed any DB rows the subcommand needs (see cli_backup.py:27-35) ...
+
+    store = {svc_mod.KEYCHAIN_BACKUP_PASSPHRASE_ACCOUNT: "cli-test-passphrase",
+             svc_mod.KEYCHAIN_BACKUP_SALT_ACCOUNT:
+                 "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"}
+    monkeypatch.setattr(secrets_mod, "get_secret", lambda n: store.get(n))
+    monkeypatch.setattr(secrets_mod, "set_secret",
+                        lambda n, v: store.__setitem__(n, v) or True)
+    monkeypatch.setenv("CYCLONE_BACKUP_DIR", str(tmp_path / "backups"))
+    yield tmp_path / "backups"
+    db._reset_for_tests()
+
+def test_backup_create_list_verify_status(_cli_env):
+    from cyclone.cli import main
+    runner = CliRunner()
+    r = runner.invoke(main, ["backup", "create"], catch_exceptions=False)
+    assert r.exit_code == 0, r.output
+    assert "created backup id=" in r.output
+```
+
+### A destructive subcommand — `--yes` + `click.confirm(abort=True)`
+
+From `cli.py:462-506` (`backup restore`). Two-step: announce, prompt unless `--yes`, then execute. Restore uses an explicit init/confirm round-trip so the operator can back out between phases. Matching smoke test asserts the guard fires:
+
+```python
+@backup.command("restore")
+@click.argument("backup_id", type=int)
+@click.option("--yes", is_flag=True, help="Skip the interactive confirm prompt")
+@click.option("--actor", default="operator-cli", show_default=True)
+def backup_restore(backup_id: int, yes: bool, actor: str) -> None:
+    """Restore the live DB from a backup (two-step, requires --yes)."""
+    # ... db.init_db() + service config omitted ...
+    click.echo(f"Initiating restore from backup {backup_id}...")
+    init = svc.restore_initiate(backup_id)
+    # ... echo init summary (filename, fp, table_count, ttl) ...
+    if not yes:
+        click.confirm(
+            "Replace the live DB with this backup? "
+            "This will dispose the engine and rebuild it.",
+            abort=True,
+        )
+    click.echo("Confirming restore...")
+    result = svc.restore_confirm(backup_id, init.restore_token, actor=actor)
+
+def test_backup_restore_requires_yes_flag(_cli_env):
+    runner = CliRunner()
+    runner.invoke(main, ["backup", "create"], catch_exceptions=False)
+    r = runner.invoke(main, ["backup", "restore", "1"], catch_exceptions=False)
+    # CliRunner auto-aborts confirm prompts → exit_code != 0.
+    assert r.exit_code != 0
+```
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+- **Don't `sys.exit(2)` for usage errors.** Reserve code 2 for
+  parse/operator errors (`CycloneParseError`, Keychain not
+  initialized, passphrase policy violation). For "you passed the
+  wrong flag" use `raise click.UsageError(...)` — Click formats
+  it as a clean help message and exits 2 on its own.
+- **Don't print errors to stdout.** Use `click.echo(msg, err=True)`
+  for all error output. `print(..., file=sys.stderr)` and bare
+  `logging.error(...)` bypass Click's stdout/stderr split and leak
+  into test `result.output` — breaking `assert "FAIL" in r.output`
+  style assertions.
+- **Don't add a subcommand without a smoke test.** Every new
+  `@main.command(...)` ships a sibling
+  `backend/tests/test_cli_<name>.py` exercising the happy path
+  AND at least one error path (missing input, invalid arg,
+  tampered ciphertext — see `test_cli_backup.py:102-119`).
+- **Don't reuse the `parse` command name.** Existing subcommands
+  are type-specific (`parse-837`, `parse-835`); a generic `parse`
+  would shadow them or force an `--type` flag — neither is the
+  codebase pattern.
+
+## Related skills
+
+- **`cyclone-store`** — `backup` subcommands and the parse
+  subcommands both round-trip through `CycloneStore` and the DB
+  session; load when the increment changes write paths or the
+  `<entity>_written` event contract.
+- **`cyclone-api-router`** — `cyclone serve` (via `__main__.py:19`)
+  launches the FastAPI app; the CLI parse subcommands share the
+  same `CycloneParseError` exception and Pydantic result models
+  as the matching HTTP endpoints.
+- **`cyclone-edi`** — `parse-837` / `parse-835` are the CLI smoke

+description: "Cyclone EDI parser/validator conventions (837P/835/999/270/271/277CA/TA1). Use when: adding or changing a parser, adding a validator rule (R010/R020/R100/R200-R210/R835_*/NPI Luhn/EIN/CAS), or mapping a new CAS adjustment reason code."
+---
+
+# cyclone-edi
+
+Cyclone parses seven X12 EDI transaction types (837P, 835, 999, 270, 271, 277CA, TA1) into typed Pydantic models, then runs per-claim / per-batch validator rules that surface as R-coded `ValidationIssue` records. This skill codifies the conventions so new parsers and rules stay consistent with the seven that already exist.
+
+As of this writing: **7 parser modules** under `backend/src/cyclone/parsers/parse_<edi>.py`, **~25 per-claim rules** numbered `R010`–`R100` and `R200`–`R210` in `validator.py`, plus a parallel set of **835-specific rules** prefixed `R835_*` in `validator_835.py`. The next increment is **SP22**.
+
+## When to use
+
+- **Adding or changing a parser.** You are about to touch `backend/src/cyclone/parsers/parse_<edi>.py` or its paired `models_<edi>.py` and need the orchestrator signature, the segment walker convention, and the re-export in `parsers/__init__.py`.
+- **Adding a validator rule.** You are writing a new `_rule_R<n>_<name>` (or `_r<n>_<name>` per the existing snake-case style) and need the rule signature, the R-code numbering scheme, and the `ValidationIssue` shape.
+- **Wiring a new CAS / CARC code.** The 835 carries Claim Adjustment Reason Codes in `CAS` segments; the lookup lives in `backend/src/cyclone/parsers/cas_codes.py` and the UI reads through `claim_status_label()`.
+- **Debugging a parse failure on a prodfiles sample.** You dropped a real EDI file into `docs/prodfiles/<source>/` and the parser is choking — load this skill to confirm the tokenizer path, the orchestrator entry point, and which fixture in `backend/tests/fixtures/` matches the transaction type.
+
+## Conventions
+
+1. **Parser signature.** Every parser module exports exactly one public entry function. Two flavors coexist in the codebase:
+   - `parse(text: str, *, input_file: str = "") -> <TypedResult>` — used by `parse_270.py:337`, `parse_271.py:356`.
+   - `parse(text: str, payer_config: <PayerConfig>, input_file: str = "") -> <TypedResult>` — used by `parse_837.py:319` and `parse_835.py:459` because both need payer-specific config to validate segments against.
+   - `parse_<edi>_text(text: str, *, input_file: str = "") -> <TypedResult>` — the legacy name-suffixed form, still in use at `parse_ta1.py:143`, `parse_999.py:220`, `parse_277ca.py:280`. The `<TypedResult>` is always a Pydantic model from `models_<edi>.py` (or co-located `models.py` for 837P).
+2. **Segment walk.** Parsers consume `backend/src/cyclone/parsers/segments.py` — there are exactly three public pieces: `Delimiters` (frozen dataclass holding the four ISA-derived separators), `_detect_delimiters(isa_segment)` (private), and `tokenize(text) -> list[list[str]]` (returns ISA prepended as the first segment). Parsers then index into the `list[list[str]]` directly — there is **no** `Segment` / `Loop` / `next_segment` helper class. Whole-document problems (missing ISA, wrong transaction set) raise `CycloneParseError`; per-segment problems on acks (999/277CA) are surfaced on the result, not raised.
+3. **Validator rules.** Numbered rules live in `backend/src/cyclone/parsers/validator.py` (for 837P — R010–R100 general + R200–R210 SP9 CO MAP / HCPF naming) and `backend/src/cyclone/parsers/validator_835.py` (for 835 — names prefixed `R835_*` because the same numeric space would collide with 837P). Each rule is a function `_r<n>_<name>(claim: ClaimOutput, cfg: PayerConfig) -> Iterable[ValidationIssue]` registered in the module-level `_RULES` list and run by `validate(claim, config)`. Issues carry the rule name as a stable string (`rule="R021_npi_checksum"`) — the R-code **is** how the UI surfaces the error, so never invent an unnumbered rule.
+4. **NPI / EIN / CAS format logic.** Identity-format checks live in their own modules — never duplicate them in a parser or validator:
+   - `backend/src/cyclone/npi.py` — `is_valid_npi(npi)` runs the Luhn checksum with the `80840` NPPES prefix; `is_valid_tax_id(ein)` enforces `XX-XXXXXXX` (or 9 raw digits).
+   - `backend/src/cyclone/parsers/cas_codes.py` — `reason_label(group, reason)` and `all_known_codes()` for the CARC lookup; snapshot date is exported as `LAST_UPDATED`.
+   - `backend/src/cyclone/parsers/models_271.py` — `SERVICE_TYPE_CODES` + `service_type_description()` for 271 EB benefit codes.
+5. **Prodfiles reuse.** When adding a parser for a new transaction type, ship at least one fixture in `backend/tests/fixtures/<edi>/<sample>.txt` (the existing 13 fixtures are **flat** at the top level of `fixtures/` — no per-test subdirectories). Copy from `docs/prodfiles/<source>/<file>.txt`; never reach into `docs/prodfiles/` from a test. The matching test should declare the path as a module-level `Path` constant.
+
+## Patterns
+
+### Minimal `parse_<edi>.py` — using `segments.py`, exporting `parse_ta1_text`
+
+Taken from `backend/src/cyclone/parsers/parse_ta1.py:1-29` (the smallest parser — TA1 is just ISA + TA1 + IEA). The same skeleton scales to every other EDI type by adding `_consume_<segment>` helpers.
+
+```python
+"""Parse an X12 TA1 (Interchange Acknowledgment) file.
+
+Whole-document problems (missing ISA, no TA1) raise CycloneParseError.
+"""
+from __future__ import annotations
+
+import logging
+from datetime import date
+
+from cyclone.parsers.exceptions import CycloneParseError
+from cyclone.parsers.models import BatchSummary, Envelope
+from cyclone.parsers.models_ta1 import ParseResultTa1, Ta1Ack
+from cyclone.parsers.segments import tokenize
+
+log = logging.getLogger(__name__)
+
+
+def _parse_yyyymmdd(s: str) -> date | None:
+    """Parse an 8-digit CCYYMMDD string. Returns None on bad input."""
+    ...
+
+
+def _build_envelope(segments: list[list[str]], input_file: str) -> Envelope:
+    """Build the envelope from ISA. TA1 has no GS/ST — just ISA → TA1 → IEA."""
+    ...
+
+
+def _consume_ta1(segments: list[list[str]], idx: int) -> tuple[Ta1Ack, int]:
+    """Read a TA1 segment and return a Ta1Ack. Returns (model, next_idx)."""
+    ...
+
+
+def parse_ta1_text(text: str, *, input_file: str = "") -> ParseResultTa1:
+    """Parse a complete TA1 document and return a ParseResultTa1."""
+    segments = tokenize(text)
+    envelope = _build_envelope(segments, input_file=input_file)
+    ta1_idx = next(
+        (i for i, seg in enumerate(segments) if seg[0] == "TA1"), None,
+    )
+    if ta1_idx is None:
+        raise CycloneParseError("No TA1 segment found")
+    ta1, _ = _consume_ta1(segments, ta1_idx)
+    ...
+    return ParseResultTa1(envelope=envelope, ta1=ta1, summary=summary, ...)
+
+
+__all__ = ["parse_ta1_text"]
+```
+
+The orchestrator pattern is the same in every parser: `tokenize` → `_build_envelope` → segment consumers in order → wrap into a `ParseResult<EDI>` model. The Pydantic result is what the API / store layer consumes.
+
+### A validator rule — `_r<n>_<name>` registered in `_RULES`
+
+Taken from `backend/src/cyclone/parsers/validator.py:23-66` (the canonical R010–R100 block).
+
+```python
+from collections.abc import Iterable
+from cyclone.parsers.models import ClaimOutput, ValidationIssue
+from cyclone.parsers.payer import PayerConfig
+
+NPI_RE = re.compile(r"^\d{10}$")
+Rule = Callable[[ClaimOutput, PayerConfig], Iterable[ValidationIssue]]
+
+
+def _r020_npi_format(claim: ClaimOutput, _: PayerConfig) -> Iterable[ValidationIssue]:
+    if claim.billing_provider.npi and not NPI_RE.match(claim.billing_provider.npi):
+        yield ValidationIssue(
+            rule="R020_npi_format",
+            severity="error",
+            message=f"Billing provider NPI must be 10 digits, got {claim.billing_provider.npi!r}",
+        )
+
+
+def _r021_npi_checksum(claim: ClaimOutput, _: PayerConfig) -> Iterable[ValidationIssue]:
+    """SP20: validate the billing-provider NPI's Luhn check digit."""
+    npi = claim.billing_provider.npi
+    if not npi or not NPI_RE.match(npi):
+        return  # R020 already flagged the format — skip silently.
+    try:
+        from cyclone.npi import is_valid_npi
+    except ImportError:
+        return
+    if not is_valid_npi(npi):
+        yield ValidationIssue(
+            rule="R021_npi_checksum",
+            severity="warning",
+            message=f"Billing provider NPI {npi!r} fails Luhn checksum (likely typo)",
+        )
+
+
+_RULES: list[Rule] = [
+    _r010_clm01_present,
+    _r011_total_charge_positive,
+    _r020_npi_format,
+    _r021_npi_checksum,
+    # ... R030, R031, R032-R035, R050, R060, R070, R100, R200-R210
+]
+```
+
+For 835 rules, prefix the rule string with `R835_` (e.g. `R835_BPR01_handling_code_allowed`) and target the `ParseResult835` model instead of `ClaimOutput` — see `backend/src/cyclone/parsers/validator_835.py:38-79`.
+
+### A test that uses a prodfiles fixture
+
+Taken from `backend/tests/test_api_999.py:53-72`. The autouse `conftest.py` already provides a per-test SQLite DB; most tests just add a `client` fixture and reference the fixture path as a module-level constant.
+
+```python
+"""Tests for the FastAPI surface in cyclone.api for the 999 endpoint."""
+from __future__ import annotations
+
+from pathlib import Path
+
+import pytest
+from fastapi.testclient import TestClient
+
+from cyclone.api import app
+
+# Fixture reference — flat, module-level Path constant. NEVER reach into
+# docs/prodfiles/ from a test; the fixtures/ dir is the test-consumed surface.
+ACCEPTED = Path(__file__).parent / "fixtures" / "minimal_999.txt"
+REJECTED = Path(__file__).parent / "fixtures" / "minimal_999_rejected.txt"
+
+
+@pytest.fixture
+def client() -> TestClient:
+    return TestClient(app)
+
+
+def test_parse_999_endpoint_happy_path(client: TestClient):
+    text = ACCEPTED.read_text()
+    resp = client.post(
+        "/api/parse-999",
+        files={"file": ("minimal_999.txt", text, "text/plain")},
+        headers={"Accept": "application/json"},
+    )
+    assert resp.status_code == 200, resp.text
+    body = resp.json()
+    assert body["ack"]["ack_code"] == "A"
+```
+
+For pure-unit parser tests (no API), the same path is reused — see `backend/tests/test_parse_837.py:8` (`FIXTURE = Path(__file__).parent / "fixtures" / "minimal_837p.txt"`).
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+- **Don't re-parse raw X12 strings inside validators.** Always parse first into the typed `ParseResult<EDI>` / `ClaimOutput`, then validate against that. Validators index into the model fields (or `claim.raw_segments` for spot-checks of specific segment presence) — they never call `tokenize` again. R034's `REF*G1` presence check (`validator.py:104-107`) is the only place that legitimately touches `raw_segments`, and it does so to confirm a single segment exists.
+- **Don't bake payer-specific logic into the generic parser.** Payer variations live in `backend/src/cyclone/parsers/payer.py` (`PayerConfig`, `PayerConfig835`) and `backend/src/cyclone/payers.py` (the YAML loader from `config/payers.yaml`). Parsers accept the config as an argument; rules read it from the `cfg` parameter. A new payer never requires a new parser file — extend the config and add / adjust an R-code rule.
+- **Don't add a validator rule without an R-code.** The `rule="R<n>_<name>"` string is the stable identifier the UI greys out, the API returns in `errors[].rule`, and tests assert against. Inventing a rule without an R-code (or reusing an R-code with new semantics) breaks the operator workflow. New SP-N increments reserve their R-code range up front (SP9 reserved R200–R210, SP20 added R021) and document it in the spec.
+
+## Related skills
+
+- **`cyclone-store`** — load when the increment changes how a parsed `ClaimOutput` / `ParseResult<EDI>` is persisted (`store.py` write path, `<entity>_written` events).
+- **`cyclone-api-router`** — load when the increment adds or changes an HTTP endpoint that surfaces a parsed result (e.g. `/api/parse-999`, `/api/parse-837`, `/api/parse-835`).
+- **`cyclone-tests`** — every parser addition ships a fixture in `backend/tests/fixtures/` and a pytest case; load this skill for the fixture-drop-in and autouse-conftest rules.
+- **`cyclone-cli`** — load when the increment adds a CLI subcommand. The `cyclone parse-837 <file>` and `cyclone parse-835 <file>` smoke commands at `backend/src/cyclone/cli.py:77,151` are the parser-level smoke tests; the `validate-npi` and `validate-tax-id` commands exercise the format helpers.
+- **`cyclone-spec`** — load when the SP-N spec for the increment introduces a new R-code range or a new transaction type; the spec's `## Decisions` section is where the R-code reservation gets locked in.

+description: "Cyclone React page conventions (TanStack Query, use<X> hook, drawer, URL state, .test.tsx sibling, Layout / PageHeader / Sidebar). Use when: adding a new page, refactoring an existing one, or wiring a drawer into a page."
+---
+
+# cyclone-frontend-page
+
+Cyclone pages live at `src/pages/<Name>.tsx`: a `use<X>` hook in `src/hooks/use<X>.ts` does the fetching (and optionally the live-tail subscription), `<Layout>` + `<PageHeader>` + `<Sidebar>` (`src/components/`) provide the app shell, and any right-side detail (claim, remittance) lives in `src/components/<DrawerName>/` whose open/close state is mirrored to the URL via `useDrawerUrlState`. This skill codifies the conventions so additions stay consistent with the eleven pages already shipped.
+
+As of this writing: **11 pages** under `src/pages/` (9 of 11 with a `*.test.tsx` sibling — Dashboard, Upload, and BatchDiff are not yet covered; be the first when you refactor them), **~30 hooks** under `src/hooks/`, and **2 drawer modules** at `src/components/{ClaimDrawer,RemitDrawer}/`. The next increment is **SP22**.
+
+## When to use
+
+- **Adding a new page.** Mounting a new screen in `src/pages/` — you need the Layout + PageHeader + table shape, the `use<X>` hook split, and the route registration point in `src/App.tsx`.
+- **Refactoring an existing page.** Splitting a 600-line page, swapping a manual `fetch` for a hook, or moving in-component state into the URL — load this skill to confirm the destination shape.
+- **Wiring a drawer.** Adding a new right-side detail drawer (e.g. `BatchDrawer`, `ActivityDrawer`) — you need `useDrawerUrlState` for URL-driven open/close, the `src/components/<DrawerName>/` folder layout, and the deep-link contract so `?claim=…` / `?remit=…` round-trips.
+- **Sharing state via URL.** Persisting filter / page / drawer state across reloads — confirm the `useDrawerUrlState` / `useRemitDrawerUrlState` hook pair is the right tool before reaching for `useState` + history.
+
+## Conventions
+
+1. **Page shape.** Every page in `src/pages/<Name>.tsx` exports a `function <Name>()` (most pages use a named export — see `src/pages/Claims.tsx:51`, `Remittances.tsx:62`, `Dashboard.tsx:68`; `src/pages/Inbox.tsx:40` is the lone default export). The app shell is provided by the `<Layout>` route wrapper in `src/App.tsx:30`. Each page sets a `<PageHeader>` (`src/components/PageHeader.tsx:18`) and renders a table, list, or KPI grid. Sidebar nav is mounted once by `<Layout>` at `src/components/Sidebar.tsx`.
+2. **Data hook.** Each page pairs with a `use<X>` hook in `src/hooks/use<X>.ts` (e.g. `Claims` ↔ `useClaims`, `Remittances` ↔ `useRemittances`, `Acks` ↔ `useAcks`). The hook returns `{ data, isLoading, isError, error, refetch }` from TanStack Query's `useQuery` (see `src/hooks/useClaims.ts:24-31`, `useRemittances.ts:21-25`). Pages never call `fetch` or `@/lib/api` directly — the hook is the boundary so the page is testable with `vi.mock("@/lib/api", ...)`.
+3. **Live tail.** Pages with live data compose three hooks in order: the `use<X>` initial fetch, `useTailStream(resource)` (`src/hooks/useTailStream.ts:80` — opens the NDJSON stream, drives the backoff/stall state machine), and `useMergedTail(resource, baseItems, filterFn?)` (`src/hooks/useMergedTail.ts:25` — merges snapshot + tail, dedup'd by id). The full wiring lives at `src/pages/Claims.tsx:85-89` and `Remittances.tsx:81-83`. The streaming subscription belongs on the page, not in the data hook — hoisting it couples the lifecycle to whoever mounts `use<X>`.
+4. **Drawer.** Right-side detail drawers live in `src/components/<DrawerName>/` (currently `ClaimDrawer/`, `RemitDrawer/`) with a barrel `index.ts` (`src/components/ClaimDrawer/index.ts:1-14`). The drawer is wired to URL state via `useDrawerUrlState()` for `?claim=…` (`src/hooks/useDrawerUrlState.ts`) or `useRemitDrawerUrlState()` for `?remit=…` (`src/hooks/useRemitDrawerUrlState.ts`). Open state is driven by the URL, not a `useState` flag, so deep-links round-trip.
+5. **Tests.** Every page gets a `src/pages/<Name>.test.tsx` sibling (e.g. `Claims.test.tsx`, `Remittances.test.tsx`, `Batches.test.tsx`). Every hook gets a `src/hooks/use<X>.test.ts` sibling (e.g. `useClaims.test.ts`, `useRemittances.test.ts`). The shared setup — `// @vitest-environment happy-dom`, `IS_REACT_ACT_ENVIRONMENT = true`, `QueryClient` provider, `vi.mock("@/lib/api", ...)` — is documented in `cyclone-tests`; mirror `src/pages/Claims.test.tsx:1-30` for the canonical page-test shape.
+6. **UI primitives.** Use Radix-backed components from `src/components/ui/` (`button.tsx`, `dialog.tsx`, `table.tsx`, `select.tsx`, `pagination.tsx`, `empty-state.tsx`, `error-state.tsx`, `filter-chips.tsx`, `skeleton.tsx`, `input.tsx`, `label.tsx`, `card.tsx`, `badge.tsx`, `skip-link.tsx`, `claim-state-badge.tsx`). Don't pull in a new UI library without discussion — every primitive here is already consumed by at least one shipped page.
+7. **Routing.** Pages register their route in `src/App.tsx` as a `<Route path="<name>" element={<<Name>> />} />` inside the `<Layout>` element wrapper (`src/App.tsx:30-44`). Currently every page is a static import; switch to `React.lazy(() => import(...))` only if a page grows heavy (large parse/EDI libs, chart code) and the import cost shows up in the bundle report.
+
+## Patterns
+
+### `Claims.tsx`-style page (Layout + PageHeader + table + drawer)
+
+Canonical page shape — composes the data hook, the tail triplet, and
+`useDrawerUrlState` for the `?claim=…` deep-link. See
+`src/pages/Claims.tsx:51-200` for the full file.
+
+```tsx

+import { PageHeader } from "@/components/PageHeader";
+import { ClaimDrawer } from "@/components/ClaimDrawer";

+Returns a stable shape so the page treats all data hooks uniformly.
+The tail subscription lives on the page (see Convention 3), not here.
+

+import { api, type ListClaimsParams, type PaginatedResponse } from "@/lib/api";
+import type { Claim } from "@/types";

+    enabled: api.isConfigured,
+    // …in-memory fallback when !api.isConfigured…
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### Drawer component with `useDrawerUrlState`
+
+Pattern from `src/components/ClaimDrawer/ClaimDrawer.tsx:1-50` +
+`src/hooks/useDrawerUrlState.ts`. The drawer takes `claimId` as a
+prop (driven by the URL), renders nothing when `null`, and uses
+`useDrawerKeyboard` for j/k navigation + Escape to close. The page
+that mounts it controls the URL — `openClaim("abc")` sets `?claim=abc`,
+removing the param closes the drawer, and reload preserves the state.
+
+```tsx
+import { Dialog, DialogContent } from "@/components/ui/dialog";
+import { useClaimDetail } from "@/hooks/useClaimDetail";
+import { useDrawerKeyboard } from "@/hooks/useDrawerKeyboard";
+
+export function ClaimDrawer({ claimId, claims, onClose, onNavigate, onToggleHelp }) {
+  const open = claimId !== null;
+  const { data, isLoading, isError, error } = useClaimDetail(claimId);
+  useDrawerKeyboard({ open, claims, onClose, onNavigate, onToggleHelp });
+  if (!open) return null;
+  return (
+    <Dialog open onOpenChange={(o) => !o && onClose()}>
+      <DialogContent>{/* header + body panels from useClaimDetail… */}</DialogContent>
+    </Dialog>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+- **Don't `fetch` from inside a page component.** All API access goes through the `use<X>` hook in `src/hooks/use<X>.ts`. Pages that reach for `fetch(...)` directly can't be tested with `vi.mock("@/lib/api", ...)` and split the data lifecycle across files. The hook returns `{ data, isLoading, isError, error, refetch }` so the page is a pure renderer.
+- **Don't open a drawer via local component state.** A `const [open, setOpen] = useState(false)` for a drawer breaks deep-links and reload-restore. Use `useDrawerUrlState()` (claim) or `useRemitDrawerUrlState()` (remit) so the URL is the single source of truth.
+- **Don't put domain logic in JSX.** Conditional renderings, table sorting, and KPI math all belong in the `use<X>` hook or a pure helper under `src/lib/` (e.g. `src/lib/format.ts` for currency / date formatting). JSX is for layout; mixing in `items.filter(...).sort(...)` inline is hard to test and hides behavior from the hook.
+- **Don't call `useTailStream` from inside a `use<X>` hook.** The streaming subscription belongs on the page (see `src/pages/Claims.tsx:85-89`). Hoisting it into `useClaims` couples the open/close lifecycle of the page to whoever mounts the hook, and breaks the one-resource-one-page ownership that the backoff/stall state machine assumes.
+- **Don't import a new UI library to render a button, modal, or table.** Radix-backed primitives in `src/components/ui/` already cover every widget the shipped pages use. Reach for a new library only after the primitive gap is real and the proposal is in a spec / PR.

+description: "Cyclone SP-N superpowers increment flow — spec → plan → implement → merge. Use when: starting a new numbered feature increment, naming a branch, opening a SP-N PR, or doing the merge dance into main."
+---
+
+# cyclone-spec
+
+The Cyclone repo ships every new feature as a numbered **SP-N increment**:
+a spec, a plan, an implementation branch, and a single atomic merge commit
+into `main`. This skill encodes the conventions so every increment follows
+the same shape and the commit history stays auditable.
+
+As of this writing: **17 specs** in `docs/superpowers/specs/`, **13 plans**
+in `docs/superpowers/plans/`, and SP numbers used through **SP22**. **SP23**
+is the Ubuntu + Docker + RBAC product fork (awaiting user decision);
+**SP24** is the auth-posture alignment (docs-only). The next free increment
+is **SP25** after SP24 lands.
+
+## Auth-aware spec template (SP24)
+
+The threat-model section in the canonical SP-N spec template (`## 1. Scope`, second-to-last bullet) used to read "no second party to authenticate; no second host to harden against." **That phrasing is stale as of 2026-06-23** — the auth work landed in `main` and every backend endpoint requires login. New specs should instead state the auth boundary explicitly: "the auth boundary is HTTP (login required, bcrypt + HttpOnly session cookie); file-system threats remain the local-only threat model (SQLCipher at rest, macOS Keychain). SP23 changes the threat model to LAN-bound remote operator." Reference: [`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-23-cyclone-auth-posture-alignment-design.md`](../../../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-23-cyclone-auth-posture-alignment-design.md).
+
+## When to use
+
+- **Starting a new feature increment.** You are about to add a numbered
+  feature, fix that crosses subsystem boundaries, or anything bigger than
+  a one-line change. Before you write code, reserve the next SP number and
+  write the spec.
+- **Naming the spec / plan files or the branch.** You have a topic, a
+  date, and a number — and you need the exact path / branch shape so
+  existing scripts and reviewers can find the artifacts.
+- **Opening the SP-N PR.** You are about to push the branch and need the
+  PR title format and the commit-prefix conventions so the merge commit
+  reads cleanly.
+- **Doing the merge dance.** Review is approved and you're about to land
+  the branch into `main`. Use this skill to confirm the merge shape — no
+  squash, no rebase, one atomic merge commit.
+
+## Conventions
+
+1. **Numbering.** Reserve the next SP-N number — the next integer after
+   the highest `SP<n>` already used in `git log`. Never reuse a number,
+   even after deletion. Numbering is monotonic and lives in the merge
+   history.
+2. **Branch.** `sp<N>-<short-kebab-topic>` — e.g. `sp22-line-reconciliation`,
+   `sp9-multi-payer-npi`. Kebab-case, lowercase, no spaces, no slashes.
+   The branch name is the canonical handle for the increment.
+3. **Spec path.** `docs/superpowers/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-cyclone-<topic>-design.md`
+   with header `Status: Draft, pending user review`. One spec per
+   increment. Real examples: `2026-06-19-cyclone-db-reconciliation-design.md`
+   (SP3), `2026-06-20-cyclone-multi-payer-npi-sftp-design.md` (SP9).
+4. **Plan path.** `docs/superpowers/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-cyclone-<topic>.md`.
+   Header per the upstream `superpowers:writing-plans` skill: a
+   `For agentic workers:` line that names
+   `superpowers:subagent-driven-development` or
+   `superpowers:executing-plans`, plus a `Goal / Architecture / Tech
+   Stack / Spec` metadata block, then numbered tasks with
+   `- [ ] Step N:` checkboxes.
+5. **Commit prefix.** All commits on the branch follow these prefixes —
+   they make the SP-N merge commit readable and let `git log --grep`
+   filter cleanly:
+   - `feat(sp<N>): …` — implementation commits (e.g. `feat(sp20): NPI Luhn checksum + Tax ID format validation`).
+   - `docs(spec): …` — landing the spec (e.g. `docs(spec): design for CycloneStore split (Step 4)`).
+   - `docs(plan): …` — landing the plan.
+   - `merge: SP<N> <topic> into main` — the merge commit itself (e.g. `merge: SP14 5-lane Inbox UI + acknowledge action into main`).
+6. **PR title.** `SP<N> <Topic>` — e.g. `SP22 Line reconciliation`.
+   Matches the merge-commit subject so GitHub's "merged PR" view and the
+   `git log` entry are identical strings.
+7. **Merge shape.** A single atomic merge commit into `main` after
+   review. **No squash** — squash collapses the per-commit history and
+   breaks the SP-N audit trail. **No rebase** — rebase rewrites the SHAs
+   the PR review was performed against. The SP-N merge commit *is* the
+   record of the increment landing.
+
+## Patterns
+
+### Spec header (canonical SP-N shape, post-SP9)
+
+This is the canonical header for new specs. Older specs (pre-SP9) deviate
+slightly — different title style, no Branch or Aesthetic direction line —
+and have not been retroactively normalized. **Use this template for any
+new SP-N spec.**
+
+```markdown
+# Sub-project <N> — <Topic>: Design Spec
+
+ **Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
+ **Status:** Draft, awaiting user sign-off
+ **Branch:** `sp<N>-<short-kebab-topic>`
+ **Aesthetic direction:** <one line — e.g. "No new UI" or "Modern (geometric sans + bold borders + electric blue accent)">
+
+ ## 1. Scope
+ <2-6 lines: what's in, what's out, with explicit out-of-scope list>
+```
+
+Worked example (matches this template): `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-20-cyclone-multi-payer-npi-sftp-design.md`.
+
+### Plan header (every SP-N plan starts with this)
+
+```markdown
+# <Topic> Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use
+> superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or
+> superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps
+> use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+ **Goal:** <one sentence — the outcome>
+ **Architecture:** <one paragraph — how it's structured>
+ **Tech Stack:** <comma-separated list>
+ **Spec:** [`docs/superpowers/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-cyclone-<topic>-design.md`](../specs/...)
+
+ ---
+
+ ## File structure
+ <tree of new / modified files>
+
+ ## Task 0: <setup>
+ ## Task 1: <first user-visible step>
+ …
+```
+
+Real examples: `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-21-cyclone-skill-catalog.md`,
+`docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-21-cyclone-store-split.md`.
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+- **Don't skip the spec ("it's a small fix").** Small fixes still get a
+  3-line spec when they introduce a new numbered increment. The spec is
+  the *what* and the audit trail; the plan is the *how*. Without a spec
+  the merge commit has no anchor.
+- **Don't squash the merge commit.** The SP-N merge commit is the audit
+  trail — it tells future you exactly which feature landed and which
+  commits composed it. Squash collapses that into one opaque commit and
+  the per-commit history is lost.
+- **Don't put code in the spec — the spec is the *what*, the plan is the
+  *how*.** Specs describe scope, goals, non-goals, and decisions. Code
+  snippets belong in the plan (with checkbox steps) or in the diff, not
+  in the spec. SP-N specs in this repo routinely have **zero** code
+  blocks.
+
+## Related skills
+
+- **`cyclone-tests`** — every spec lists test impact; load this when
+  drafting or reviewing the spec to confirm fixture / `.test.tsx`
+  implications.
+- **`cyclone-edi`** — load when the SP-N increment touches an EDI parser,
+  validator rule, or CAS mapping.
+- **`cyclone-tail`** — load when the increment changes the live-tail wire
+  format or adds a streaming page.
+- **`cyclone-store`** — load when the increment adds a write-path,
+  touches `store.py`, or wires a new `<entity>_written` event.
+- **`cyclone-api-router`** — load when the increment adds or changes an
+  HTTP endpoint in `api_routers/`.
+- **`cyclone-frontend-page`** — load when the increment adds or
+  refactors a page in `src/pages/`.
+- **`cyclone-cli`** — load when the increment adds a CLI subcommand or
+  changes exit codes.
+- **`superpowers:brainstorming`** (global) — run before the spec to lock
+  the scope / decisions in the spec's `## Decisions (locked during
+  brainstorming)` section.
+- **`superpowers:writing-plans`** (global) — produces the plan header
+  format every SP-N plan follows.

+description: "Cyclone store write-paths, the pubsub event contract (claim_written / remittance_written / activity_recorded), and the SP21 store-split boundary map. Use when: touching store.py, adding a new entity, wiring a new write event, or splitting a store module."
+---
+
+# cyclone-store
+
+Cyclone persists every parsed X12 batch through one facade,
+`CycloneStore` (`backend/src/cyclone/store.py:882`). Every write
+inserts the row AND publishes a pubsub event on the in-process
+`EventBus` (`backend/src/cyclone/pubsub.py:20`) so live-tail pages
+see new rows the moment they land. The event contract is the seam
+between persistence and streaming — a wrong event name silently
+goes stale.
+
+As of this writing: the store is a **single 2412-line module** and
+the SP21 split into `backend/src/cyclone/store/` is in progress.
+Three event kinds: `claim_written`, `remittance_written`,
+`activity_recorded`. Next: **SP22**.
+
+## When to use
+
+- **Adding a new entity.** You need a new ORM model + write method +
+  event kind + snapshot serializer and want to know where each piece
+  lives (current monolith vs. post-SP21 module).
+- **Wiring a new write event.** You're adding a `<entity>_written`
+  event and need both the publish call in the store AND the
+  subscribe call in the live-tail endpoint to stay in sync.
+- **Debugging a write-path issue.** A page isn't reflecting new
+  rows, the DB has the row but the stream is silent, or the publish
+  raises and rolls back the transaction.
+- **Splitting a store module.** You're moving a domain out of
+  `store.py` into its own module under `backend/src/cyclone/store/`
+  and need the SP21 module list + facade re-export rules.
+
+## Conventions
+
+1. **All writes go through `CycloneStore`.** Route handlers and
+   parsers must not write directly to the ORM session. The facade
+   opens a short-lived session via `db.SessionLocal()()`. Direct ORM
+   access is the #1 way the live-tail contract gets bypassed (no
+   event published → page silently goes stale). Read paths are
+   similar — prefer the facade's `iter_*` / `get_*` methods over raw
+   `s.execute(select(...))`.
+2. **Every write publishes an event.** The event name matches the
+   entity: `claim_written`, `remittance_written`,
+   `activity_recorded` (the trailing `_recorded` signals a
+   non-canonical row — activity events are derived, not first-class;
+   current names at `store.py:1072,1081,1096`). New entities get
+   `<entity>_written`; activity-style side rows get
+   `<entity>_recorded`. Publish is **best-effort** — failures are
+   logged but never roll back the persisted batch
+   (`store.py:1097-1098`).
+3. **Snapshot shape.** Each entity has a `to_ui_<entity>` serializer
+   (plain Python function returning a dict) — currently
+   `to_ui_claim`, `to_ui_remittance`, `to_ui_claim_from_orm`,
+   `to_ui_remittance_from_orm`, `to_ui_provider`. Post-SP21 these
+   move to `backend/src/cyclone/store/ui.py`. The serializer is the
+   single source of truth for what the frontend sees — every event
+   payload MUST match what the matching list endpoint returns for
+   that row (`store.py:1052-1054`).
+4. **SP21 boundaries.** Post-split, each domain lives in its own
+   module under `backend/src/cyclone/store/`: `__init__.py` (facade
+   + `CycloneStore` class), `exceptions.py`, `records.py`,
+   `orm_builders.py`, `ui.py`, `write.py`, `batches.py`,
+   `claim_detail.py`, `acks.py`, `backups.py`, `inbox.py`,
+   `providers.py`. Cross-module writes go through `CycloneStore`
+   facade methods, not direct module access. The facade re-exports
+   every name callers currently import from `cyclone.store`. Full
+   list: `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-21-cyclone-store-split.md:25-37`.
+5. **No business logic in route handlers.** A route handler validates
+   input, calls `store.<method>(...)`, passes the `event_bus`,
+   returns the serialized result. Reconciliation, idempotency
+   checks, CAS adjustment persistence — all live in the store.
+
+## Patterns
+
+### A `CycloneStore.add` write — publishes events from inserted rows
+
+Taken from `backend/src/cyclone/store.py:898-1107`. The method opens
+a session, inserts rows, then runs a sync `_publish_events_sync`
+after commit so subscribers can immediately re-fetch consistent data.
+
+```python
+def add(
+    self,
+    record: BatchRecord,
+    *,
+    event_bus: "EventBus | None" = None,
+) -> None:
+    inserted_claim_ids: list[str] = []
+    with db.SessionLocal()() as s:
+        s.add(Batch(id=record.id, kind=record.kind, ...))
+        if isinstance(record, BatchRecord837):
+            for claim in record.result.claims:
+                if s.get(Claim, claim.claim_id) is not None:
+                    continue                       # idempotency: skip dupes
+                s.add(_claim_837_row(claim, record.id))
+                s.add(ActivityEvent(kind="claim_submitted", ...))
+                inserted_claim_ids.append(claim.claim_id)
+        # ... 835 branch + flush + cas adjustments ...
+        s.commit()
+
+    if event_bus is not None and inserted_claim_ids:
+        self._publish_events_sync(event_bus, record, inserted_claim_ids)
+
+def _publish_events_sync(self, event_bus, record, claim_ids):
+    with db.SessionLocal()() as s:
+        for cid in claim_ids:
+            ui = to_ui_claim_from_orm(s.get(Claim, cid), ...)
+            self._sync_publish(event_bus, "claim_written", ui)
+        # ... remittance + activity loops ...
+```
+
+`EventBus.publish` is async but the body is pure sync `put_nowait`,
+so the store calls `_sync_publish` directly to avoid forcing sync
+FastAPI handlers to await.
+
+### Backend `/api/<resource>/stream` endpoint — subscribes to the event
+
+Taken from `backend/src/cyclone/api.py:1380-1401`. Two phases — eager
+snapshot, then live subscription — wrapped in `StreamingResponse`
+with `media_type="application/x-ndjson"`.
+
+```python
+@app.get("/api/claims/stream")
+async def claims_stream(request: Request, ...) -> StreamingResponse:
+    bus: EventBus = request.app.state.event_bus
+
+    async def gen() -> AsyncIterator[bytes]:
+        rows = store.iter_claims(status=status, ...)         # 1. Snapshot
+        for row in rows:
+            yield _ndjson_line({"type": "item", "data": row})
+        yield _ndjson_line({"type": "snapshot_end", "data": {"count": len(rows)}})
+
+        async for chunk in _tail_events(request, bus, ["claim_written"]):  # 2. Live
+            yield chunk
+
+    return StreamingResponse(gen(), media_type="application/x-ndjson")
+```
+
+`_ndjson_line` and `_tail_events` live in
+`backend/src/cyclone/api_helpers.py`. The `["remittance_written"]`
+and `["activity_recorded"]` subscriptions are at `api.py:1891,2002`.
+
+### Backend test — asserts both the row AND the event landed
+
+The autouse `conftest.py` (`backend/tests/conftest.py:20`) wires a
+fresh `EventBus` onto `app.state` per test.
+
+```python
+def test_publishes_claim_written_event(client: TestClient) -> None:
+    bus = app.state.event_bus
+    resp = client.post("/api/parse-837",
+                       files={"file": ("x.837", MINIMAL_837, "text/plain")})
+    assert resp.status_code == 200
+    assert list(store.iter_claims(limit=10))             # row landed
+
+    queues = bus._subscribers.get("claim_written", [])    # event published
+    assert queues
+    evt = queues[0].get_nowait()
+    assert evt["_kind"] == "claim_written"
+```
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+- **Don't read directly from the ORM in a route handler — go through
+  the snapshot serializer.** A handler that does
+  `with db.SessionLocal()() as s: row = s.get(Claim, cid); return row`
+  bypasses `to_ui_claim_from_orm` and silently drifts from the event
+  payload shape. Always call `store.get_claim_detail(cid)` (or the
+  equivalent `get_*` facade method).
+- **Don't introduce a new event name without updating the subscriber
+  list.** Today every `<entity>_written` event has exactly one
+  consumer — the matching `/api/<resource>/stream` endpoint,
+  currently in `backend/src/cyclone/api.py` (claims at `:1398`,
+  remittances at `:1891`, activity at `:2002`). Any future split
+  into `backend/src/cyclone/api_routers/` must wire the same
+  subscription.
+- **Don't merge a write method with its event publication into
+  separate places.** `_publish_events_sync` lives next to `add` in
+  `store.py:1042-1107` so reviewers see both halves of the contract
+  in one diff. Post-SP21 the same rule applies.
+- **Don't make the publish call blocking on commit failures.**
+  Publish errors are caught and logged at `store.py:1097-1098`; a
+  failing subscriber MUST NOT roll back the persisted batch. The
+  batch is the source of truth; the event is the cache-invalidation
+  hint.
+
+## Related skills
+
+- **`cyclone-edi`** — the parsed `ClaimOutput` / `ParseResult<EDI>`
+  lands in the store via `CycloneStore.add`.
+- **`cyclone-api-router`** — the route that calls `store.<method>(...)`
+  and (for stream endpoints) subscribes to the matching
+  `<entity>_written` event.
+- **`cyclone-tail`** — the consumer side of the event contract;
+  load when changing the wire format or adding a streaming hook.
+- **`cyclone-tests`** — write-path tests live under `backend/tests/`
+  and assert both the DB row and the event payload.

+polling: every store write publishes an internal EventBus event, the
+page opens a `GET /api/<resource>/stream` HTTP/1.1 chunked-NDJSON
+connection, and new rows land in the table the moment they hit the
+database. This skill codifies the wire format, the hook triplet, and
+the backoff/stall machinery so additions stay consistent with the
+three streaming pages already shipped (`Claims`, `Remittances`,
+`ActivityLog`).
+
+## When to use
+
+- **Adding a new streaming page.** Mounting `useTailStream(resource)`
+  on a page — you need the hook triplet shape (initial fetch +
+  `useTailStream` + `useMergedTail`), the `<TailStatusPill>` wiring,
+  and the dedup rules in `useMergedTail`.
+- **Changing the wire format.** Adding a new event type — update
+  `TailEvent` in `src/lib/tail-stream.ts:22-44`, the dispatch switch
+  in `src/hooks/useTailStream.ts:173-195`, the emitter in
+  `backend/src/cyclone/api_helpers.py:tail_events()`, and
+  `references/wire-format.md`.
+- **Debugging stalled/reconnecting state.** Confirm whether the
+  backend is heartbeating (`CYCLONE_TAIL_HEARTBEAT_S`, default `15s`)
+  or the stall timer fired (`STALL_TIMEOUT_MS = 30_000` at
+  `src/hooks/useTailStream.ts:53`).
+- **Tuning heartbeat/stall timing.** Changing the 30s stall threshold
+  or the 15s heartbeat interval — README's "Status pill" + "Knobs"
+  tables need to stay in sync (`README.md:109-129`).
+
+## Conventions
+
+1. **Wire format.** Newline-delimited JSON. Every line is
+   `{"type": ..., "data": ...}`. Known `type` values: `item`
+   (per-row envelope), `snapshot_end` (`{"count": N}` marker after the
+   snapshot), `heartbeat` (`{"ts": "<iso-8601>"}` keep-alive),
+   `item_dropped` (`{"id": "..."}` queue-overflow notice), `error`
+   (`{"message": "..."}` promoted to a thrown error by the hook).
+   Defined at `src/lib/tail-stream.ts:22-44`; emitted by
+   `backend/src/cyclone/api.py:1357-2006`. See
+   `references/wire-format.md`.
+2. **Hook triplet.** Streaming pages compose three pieces:
+   `useTailStream(resource)` (`src/hooks/useTailStream.ts:80` — opens
+   the stream, drives the backoff/stall state machine, dispatches
+   `item` events into `useTailStore`),
+   `useMergedTail(resource, baseItems, filterFn?)`
+   (`src/hooks/useMergedTail.ts:25` — returns
+   `baseItems + tailSlice` dedup'd against `baseItems`), and a
+   per-resource initial-fetch hook (`useClaims`, `useRemittances`,
+   `useActivity`). The page wires all three — see
+   `src/pages/Claims.tsx:87-89`.
+3. **Stall threshold.** 30 seconds of total silence — heartbeats
+   included — flips status to `stalled` and surfaces the
+   `↻ Reconnect` button on `<TailStatusPill>`. Constant:
+   `STALL_TIMEOUT_MS = 30_000` at `src/hooks/useTailStream.ts:53`.
+   Re-armed on every event including `heartbeat` and `item_dropped`
+   (`useTailStream.ts:124-140`). Don't change without updating
+   `README.md:109-123`.
+4. **Snapshot first.** Every stream emits the snapshot before any
+   live `item` events, then closes with exactly one `snapshot_end`
+   carrying `{"count": N}`. The hook uses `snapshot_end` to flip
+   `<TailStatusPill>` from `connecting` to `live` and to reset the
+   reconnect backoff counter (`useTailStream.ts:174-180`).
+5. **Content-Type.** Stream endpoints respond with
+   `media_type="application/x-ndjson"` — see
+   `backend/src/cyclone/api.py:1401,1894,2005`. Frontend sets
+   `Accept: application/x-ndjson` at `src/lib/tail-stream.ts:67-70`.
+   Never `application/json` for a stream endpoint.
+6. **Backoff.** Transient errors retry with `1s → 2s → 4s → 8s → 16s
+   → 30s` capped — `BACKOFF_STEPS_MS` at
+   `src/hooks/useTailStream.ts:48-50`. Counter resets on every
+   `snapshot_end`.
+7. **Heartbeat knob.** Idle heartbeat interval is configurable via
+   `CYCLONE_TAIL_HEARTBEAT_S` (default `15`, parsed at call time in
+   `backend/src/cyclone/api_helpers.py:185-198`). Tests override to
+   a small value to keep runtime bounded.
+
+## Patterns
+
+### Page-hook skeleton — `Claims.tsx`
+
+Pattern from `src/pages/Claims.tsx:85-90`. Three hooks in order:
+`useClaims(params)` (initial TanStack Query fetch),
+`useTailStream("claims")` (opens the stream, owns status state), and
+`useMergedTail("claims", data?.items ?? [], tailFilterFn)` (combines
+initial snapshot with live tail, dedup'd by id, filtered by the page's
+predicate applied AFTER dedup at `useMergedTail.ts:72-74`).
+
+```ts
+import { useClaims } from "@/hooks/useClaims";
+import { useTailStream } from "@/hooks/useTailStream";
+import { useMergedTail } from "@/hooks/useMergedTail";
+
+export function ClaimsPage() {
+  const { data } = useClaims({ status: "submitted" });
+  const { status, lastEventAt, forceReconnect } = useTailStream("claims");
+  const tailFilterFn = (c: Claim) => c.status === "submitted";
+  const items = useMergedTail("claims", data?.items ?? [], tailFilterFn);
+  // <TailStatusPill status={status} lastEventAt={lastEventAt}
+  //   onReconnect={forceReconnect} /> + <Table items={items} />
+}
+```
+
+### Backend `/api/foo/stream` endpoint
+
+Pattern from `backend/src/cyclone/api.py:1357-1401`. Register BEFORE
+`/api/foo/{foo_id}` so the literal `stream` segment doesn't match as
+an id. Two phases — eager snapshot, then live subscription — wrapped
+in `StreamingResponse` with `media_type="application/x-ndjson"`.
+
+```python
+@app.get("/api/foo/stream")
+async def foo_stream(
+    request: Request,
+    status: str | None = Query(None),
+    limit: int = Query(100, ge=1, le=1000),
+) -> StreamingResponse:
+    bus: EventBus = request.app.state.event_bus
+
+    async def gen() -> AsyncIterator[bytes]:
+        # 1. Snapshot.
+        rows = store.iter_foos(status=status, limit=limit)
+        for row in rows:
+            yield _ndjson_line({"type": "item", "data": row})
+        yield _ndjson_line({"type": "snapshot_end", "data": {"count": len(rows)}})
+        # 2. Live subscription + heartbeats.
+        async for chunk in _tail_events(request, bus, ["foo_written"]):
+            yield chunk
+
+    return StreamingResponse(gen(), media_type="application/x-ndjson")
+```
+
+`_ndjson_line` and `_tail_events` live in
+`backend/src/cyclone/api_helpers.py`; the latter forwards EventBus
+events as `item` lines and emits `heartbeat` lines on the cadence
+from `heartbeat_seconds()`.
+
+### `<TailStatusPill>` wiring
+
+Pattern from `src/components/TailStatusPill.tsx:22-83`. The pill
+takes `status` + `lastEventAt` from `useTailStream` plus
+`forceReconnect` so the `↻ Reconnect` button wires to the hook's
+`reconnectNonce` bump (aborts and reopens the stream —
+`useTailStream.ts:99-101`). The button only renders when
+`status === "stalled" || status === "error"` (`TailStatusPill.tsx:52`).
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+- **Don't hand-roll `fetch` + `ReadableStream` parsing in a page.**
+  All stream consumers go through `streamTail(resource, opts?)` at
+  `src/lib/tail-stream.ts:58`. The parser handles `TextDecoderStream`,
+  newline splitting, malformed-line tolerance (`console.warn` + skip),
+  the `KNOWN_TYPES` allowlist, and abort-on-signal semantics
+  (`tail-stream.ts:75,98,107`). Duplicating it loses all of those.
+- **Don't change the wire format on one endpoint without updating
+  the others.** The parser (`src/lib/tail-stream.ts`) and the hook
+  dispatch switch (`useTailStream.ts:173-195`) are shared across all
+  three live streams. Adding a new event type means updating
+  `TailEvent`, `KNOWN_TYPES`, the dispatch `case`, the `armStall`
+  re-arm list, and the backend emitter — in that order.
+- **Don't emit `item` events before `snapshot_end`.** The hook uses
+  `snapshot_end` as the marker to flip `<TailStatusPill>` from
+  `connecting` to `live` and to reset the reconnect backoff counter.
+  Emitting `item`s first lands rows in `useTailStore` but the UI
+  still reads "Connecting" — operators see a flash of stale state.
+  Emit snapshot, then `snapshot_end`, then live (`api.py:1386-1401`).
+- **Don't change the 30s stall threshold without updating the README
+  "Status pill" table.** The constant
+  (`STALL_TIMEOUT_MS = 30_000` at `useTailStream.ts:53`) is the
+  contract the pill is documented against — a bump needs the matching
+  edit at `README.md:118`.
+- **Don't add `useTailStream` calls from `useFoo.ts` hooks.**
+  Streaming connections belong on the page (`src/pages/Claims.tsx`,
+  `Remittances.tsx`, `ActivityLog.tsx`). Hoisting into `useFoo`
+  couples the lifecycle to whoever mounts it and breaks
+  one-resource-one-page ownership.
+
+## Related skills

+# Live-tail wire format — field reference
+
+The Cyclone live-tail NDJSON contract is owned by the frontend parser
+(`src/lib/tail-stream.ts:22-44`) and the backend emitter
+(`backend/src/cyclone/api_helpers.py:tail_events()` + the three
+endpoints in `backend/src/cyclone/api.py:1357-2006`). This file is the
+quick reference; the canonical prose lives in the README and the
+source-of-truth type definitions.

+| `heartbeat`    | `{"ts": "<iso-8601 UTC>"}`                | yes, but only when idle                    | `_tail_events` in `api_helpers.py:241-245` (cadence from `heartbeat_seconds()`, default 15s) | Re-arms the stall timer (`useTailStream.ts:124-140`); no state change. |
+| `item_dropped` | `{"id": "<string>"}`                      | optional (rare; queue overflow)            | EventBus drop-oldest path (per the spec at `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-20-cyclone-live-tail-design.md:299`) | Re-arms the stall timer; no state change. The `id` field is informational — the hook does not refetch on drop, the page does (see Spec §3.6). |
+| `error`        | `{"message": "<string>"}`                 | optional (server-side failure)            | Reserved for future server-emitted errors (currently only thrown client-side) | Hook promotes to a thrown `Error(message)` so the catch block runs the reconnect machinery (`useTailStream.ts:190-194`). |
+
+## Parser tolerance
+
+The shared parser at `src/lib/tail-stream.ts` is intentionally
+forgiving so a single bad frame doesn't kill the stream:
+
+- **Trailing `\r`** is stripped per line (`tail-stream.ts:116`) so a
+  CRLF-terminated stream still parses.
+- **Malformed JSON** (`JSON.parse` throws) → `console.warn` + skip the
+  line; the iterator continues (`tail-stream.ts:122-131`).
+- **Unknown `type`** (not in `KNOWN_TYPES`) → `console.warn` + skip
+  (`tail-stream.ts:141-148`). Adding a new event type is
+  forward-compatible: old clients see warn lines, new clients see the
+  typed event.
+- **Empty lines** (consecutive `\n`s) → silently skipped
+  (`tail-stream.ts:118`).
+- **No trailing newline** → flushed as a final partial line on
+  stream close (`tail-stream.ts:154-178`).
+- **Abort signal** → iterator exits cleanly without throwing
+  (`tail-stream.ts:75,98,107`).
+
+## Endpoint inventory
+
+| Method | Path                      | Subscribes to        | Default sort        | Defined at                          |

+| GET    | `/api/activity/stream`    | `activity_recorded`  | `-timestamp` (limit 50) | `backend/src/cyclone/api.py:1971` |
+
+All three accept the same query params as their non-streaming
+counterparts (`status`, `payer`, `date_from`, …) so a frontend can
+swap a one-shot fetch for a tail with no URL surgery. Responses are
+`Content-Type: application/x-ndjson`.

+description: "Cyclone pytest + vitest fixture patterns, prodfiles layout, backend/tests/fixtures/ conventions, .test.tsx sibling rule. Use when: adding a backend pytest case, adding a frontend vitest test, or wiring in a real-EDI prodfiles sample."
+---
+
+# cyclone-tests
+
+The Cyclone test suite is split two ways: **backend pytest** (89 test files under `backend/tests/`, 13 flat fixtures in `backend/tests/fixtures/`, one autouse `conftest.py` that resets the DB per-test) and **frontend vitest** (59 `*.test.ts(x)` siblings across `src/`, two rendering styles — `@testing-library/react` and a custom `createRoot`+`Probe` shim). This skill codifies the conventions so additions stay consistent with what's already there.
+
+As of this writing: **89 backend test files**, **13 flat backend fixtures**, **59 frontend `*.test.ts(x)` siblings**, and **23 prodfiles samples** across `docs/prodfiles/{837p-from-axiscare,835fromco,FromHPE,claims}/`. The next increment is **SP24** (SP23 is the Ubuntu+Docker fork, awaiting user decision).
+
+## Auth flag (SP24)
+
+The autouse `conftest.py` fixture at `backend/tests/conftest.py` flips `cyclone.auth.deps.AUTH_DISABLED = True` for the entire test session, so every test runs without a login round-trip. **Any new test that reads `cyclone.auth.deps.AUTH_DISABLED` directly will see `True`** — that's the test-suite reality, not a production reality. If you need a test that exercises the real gate, import `from cyclone.auth.deps import matrix_gate` and call it directly with a `Request` whose `state` carries a real session, or flip the flag back inside the test and reset it on teardown. The startup WARNING (`backend/src/cyclone/__main__.py`) is silent in tests by default because the conftest sets the flag before `bootstrap.run()` is called via `import`.
+
+## When to use
+
+- **Adding a backend pytest case.** You're about to add a new `test_*.py` under `backend/tests/` and need the autouse DB-fixture rules, the fixture-path convention, and the right naming flavor (`test_api_*.py` vs `test_<module>_*.py`).
+- **Adding a frontend vitest test.** You're about to add a `*.test.ts(x)` sibling and need the `// @vitest-environment happy-dom` setup, the act-environment flag, and the right rendering helper (`@testing-library/react` vs the `createRoot`+`Probe` shim).
+- **Dropping in a prodfiles fixture.** You have a real EDI sample under `docs/prodfiles/<source>/` and need the copy step that makes it test-runnable without coupling the test to the prodfiles archive.
+- **Debugging a flaky test.** A test passes locally but flakes in CI — load this skill to check the determinism + no-network rules before chasing the symptom.
+
+## Conventions
+
+1. **Frontend sibling rule.** Every new file in `src/` that contains testable logic gets a `*.test.ts(x)` next to it. `useFoo.ts` → `useFoo.test.ts`. `ClaimDrawer.tsx` → `ClaimDrawer.test.tsx`. The 59 existing siblings follow this; CI implicitly enforces it via the default `src/**/*.test.ts(x)` glob in `vitest.config.ts`.
+2. **Backend test location.** Tests live under `backend/tests/test_*.py`. Two flavors, two naming patterns:
+   - **Integration tests** (FastAPI surface) → `test_api_<topic>_<verb>.py` — e.g. `test_api_parse_persists.py`, `test_api_999.py`.
+   - **Pure-unit tests** (parsers, validators, store internals) → `test_<module>_<behavior>.py` — e.g. `test_cas_codes.py`, `test_pubsub.py`.
+3. **Prodfiles drop-in.** Real EDI samples live under `docs/prodfiles/<source>/<file>.txt` (sources seen so far: `837p-from-axiscare/`, `835fromco/`, `FromHPE/`, `claims/`). To use one in a test: copy the file to `backend/tests/fixtures/<descriptive-name>.txt` (flat — no per-test subdirectories; the existing 13 fixtures all sit at the top level) and reference it from the test as a module-level `Path` constant. See `## Patterns` for the exact line.
+4. **Determinism.** Time-sensitive tests must not depend on wall-clock time.
+   - **Frontend** uses `vi.useFakeTimers()` + `vi.setSystemTime(new Date("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ"))` (see `src/components/TailStatusPill.test.tsx:54-58`) and `vi.advanceTimersByTime(ms)` to drive interval / backoff code deterministically.
+   - **Backend** dates are passed explicitly as fixture values — e.g. `datetime.now(timezone.utc)` is fine for "now-ish" anchors, but for fixed dates pass `datetime(2026, 6, 20, tzinfo=timezone.utc)`. The project does **not** currently use `freezegun` or `mock.patch(datetime)`; if you need deterministic date mocking, propose adding `freezegun` to `backend/pyproject.toml` rather than rolling your own.
+5. **No network.** Tests must not hit the network.
+   - **Backend:** `fastapi.testclient.TestClient(app)` runs in-process; no uvicorn. The autouse `conftest.py` fixture (`backend/tests/conftest.py:20`) points `CYCLONE_DB_URL` at `tmp_path/test.db`, calls `db._reset_for_tests()` + `db.init_db()`, and wires a fresh `EventBus` onto `app.state`.
+   - **Frontend:** `vi.stubGlobal("fetch", vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(...))` for hooks; `vitest.config.ts` sets `VITE_API_BASE_URL=http://test.local` so the `api` module doesn't throw `notConfiguredError` before the mock fires.
+6. **pytest collection.** Run `cd backend && python -m pytest tests/<file>::<name> -v` for the fastest single-test feedback loop. Run `cd backend && python -m pytest tests/<file> -v` for one file. Run `cd backend && python -m pytest` for the full suite — this is the merge gate. Frontend: `npm test` (alias for `vitest run`) for the full suite; `npx vitest run src/hooks/useFoo.test.ts` for one file.
+
+## Patterns
+
+### Backend pytest using a fixture + per-test SQLite DB
+
+Canonical shape — see `backend/tests/test_api_999.py:1-50` for the full file. The autouse `conftest.py` already provides the DB init + `EventBus` reset; most tests just add a `client` fixture.
+
+```python
+"""Tests for the FastAPI surface in cyclone.api for the 999 endpoint."""
+from __future__ import annotations
+
+from pathlib import Path
+
+import pytest
+from fastapi.testclient import TestClient
+
+from cyclone.api import app
+
+# Fixture reference — flat, module-level Path constant. NEVER reach into
+# docs/prodfiles/ from a test; the fixtures/ dir is the test-consumed surface.
+ACCEPTED = Path(__file__).parent / "fixtures" / "minimal_999.txt"
+REJECTED = Path(__file__).parent / "fixtures" / "minimal_999_rejected.txt"
+
+
+@pytest.fixture
+def client() -> TestClient:
+    return TestClient(app)
+
+
+def test_parse_999_endpoint_happy_path(client: TestClient):
+    text = ACCEPTED.read_text()
+    resp = client.post(
+        "/api/parse-999",
+        files={"file": ("minimal_999.txt", text, "text/plain")},
+        headers={"Accept": "application/json"},
+    )
+    assert resp.status_code == 200, resp.text
+    body = resp.json()
+    assert body["ack"]["ack_code"] == "A"
+```
+
+Override the autouse DB fixture only when you need a custom env (e.g. a per-test backup directory) — see `backend/tests/test_999_rejected_state.py:20-25`:
+
+```python
+@pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
+def _setup(tmp_path, monkeypatch):
+    monkeypatch.setenv("CYCLONE_DB_URL", f"sqlite:///{tmp_path}/inbox.db")
+    from cyclone import db
+    db._reset_for_tests()
+    db.init_db()
+    yield
+```
+
+### Frontend vitest `*.test.tsx` for a component using fake timers
+
+Pattern taken from `src/components/TailStatusPill.test.tsx:1-62` — uses `vi.useFakeTimers()` + `vi.setSystemTime(...)` to drive interval-based code deterministically.
+
+```ts
+// @vitest-environment happy-dom
+// React's act warnings need an act-aware environment — mirror the other
+// hook tests in this repo.
+(globalThis as { IS_REACT_ACT_ENVIRONMENT?: boolean }).IS_REACT_ACT_ENVIRONMENT = true;
+
+import { afterEach, beforeEach, describe, expect, it, vi } from "vitest";
+import { MyComponent } from "./MyComponent";
+
+describe("MyComponent", () => {
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    vi.useFakeTimers();
+    vi.setSystemTime(new Date("2026-06-20T12:00:30Z"));
+  });
+
+  afterEach(() => {
+    vi.useRealTimers();
+  });
+

+
+### Frontend vitest `*.test.tsx` for a component using `@testing-library/react` + `happy-dom`
+
+Pattern taken from `src/hooks/useInboxLanes.test.ts:1-80`. (A handful of older tests — `useClaimDetail.test.ts`, `useDrawerUrlState.test.ts`, `TailStatusPill.test.tsx` — roll a custom `createRoot`+`Probe` shim instead. Both styles are accepted; `@testing-library/react` is preferred when the hook has async dependencies because `waitFor` is built in.)
+
+```ts
+// @vitest-environment happy-dom
+(globalThis as { IS_REACT_ACT_ENVIRONMENT?: boolean }).IS_REACT_ACT_ENVIRONMENT = true;
+
+import { afterEach, describe, expect, it, vi } from "vitest";
+import { act, cleanup, renderHook, waitFor } from "@testing-library/react";
+import { useMyHook } from "./useMyHook";
+
+vi.mock("@/lib/api", () => ({
+  api: { fetchFoo: vi.fn() },
+}));
+
+afterEach(() => {
+  cleanup();
+  vi.unstubAllGlobals();
+  vi.useRealTimers();
+});
+
+describe("useMyHook", () => {
+  it("loads data on mount", async () => {
+    vi.stubGlobal("fetch", vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({
+      ok: true,
+      json: async () => ({ items: [] }),
+    }));
+    const { result } = renderHook(() => useMyHook());
+    await waitFor(() => expect(result.current.loading).toBe(false));
+    expect(result.current.items).toEqual([]);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+- **Don't put frontend tests in `src/__tests__/`.** No such directory exists in the codebase — `__tests__` only appears in the SP-catalog plan itself. Use the sibling rule (`useFoo.ts` → `useFoo.test.ts`).
+- **Don't reach into `docs/prodfiles/` directly from a test.** Always copy to `backend/tests/fixtures/<name>.txt` first. The prodfiles directory is the source-of-truth archive and may be reorganized; the fixtures directory is the test-consumed surface and is stable.
+- **Don't use wall-clock sleeps for timing.** A handful of legacy tests use `await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 200))` (see `src/components/SearchBar.test.tsx:281,323,373` and `src/hooks/useSearch.test.ts:174`) — these are known flaky in CI. Use `vi.useFakeTimers()` + `vi.advanceTimersByTime(ms)` instead, or `waitFor(...)` from `@testing-library/react`.
+
+## Related skills
+
+- **`cyclone-spec`** — every SP-N spec lists test impact; load this when drafting or reviewing the spec to confirm fixture / `.test.tsx` implications for the increment.
+- **`cyclone-edi`** — most backend tests cover parser + validator behavior; load when the increment touches an EDI parser or adds a validator rule (R200/R210/NPI Luhn/EIN/CAS).
+- **`cyclone-tail`** — most frontend tests cover hook behavior (`useTailStream`, `useMergedTail`); load when the increment changes the wire format or adds a streaming hook.
+- **`cyclone-store`** — write-path tests live here; load when the increment touches `store.py`, adds a new entity, or wires a new `<entity>_written` event.
+- **`cyclone-api-router`** — endpoint tests live in `backend/tests/test_api_*.py`; load when the increment adds or changes an HTTP endpoint.
+- **`cyclone-frontend-page`** — page-component tests live next to pages in `src/pages/*.test.tsx`; load when the increment adds or refactors a page.
+- **`cyclone-cli`** — CLI smoke tests live in `backend/tests/test_cli_*.py`; load when the increment adds a CLI subcommand.
+- **`superpowers:test-driven-development`** (global) — the upstream TDD workflow. Load first when starting any new feature increment; this skill only codifies the Cyclone-specific test layout on top of TDD.

+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## What this is
+
+Cyclone is a self-hosted X12 EDI claims-management suite for a single billing office (Colorado Medicaid currently). It parses 837P professional claims and 835 ERA remittances (X12 005010X222A1 / 005010X221A1) and also handles 999, TA1, 270, 271, and 277CA. Local-only by design: binds to `127.0.0.1`, requires login (auth boundary is HTTP; bcrypt + HttpOnly session cookie; first admin bootstrapped from `CYCLONE_ADMIN_USERNAME` + `CYCLONE_ADMIN_PASSWORD` env vars; see SP24 spec for the full posture), no internet exposure.
+
+Stack: one Python process (FastAPI + uvicorn, port 8000) + one Node process in dev (Vite, port 5173). The authoritative state is a single SQLite file at `~/.local/share/cyclone/cyclone.db` (or SQLCipher at the same path when the macOS Keychain entry + `sqlcipher3` are both present).
+
+For the day-1 architecture read, see `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` (process topology, module map, store facade, parser pipeline, pubsub). For the what-it-does read, see `docs/REQUIREMENTS.md` (FRs + NFRs + DoD).
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+# Backend (Python 3.11+)
+cd backend
+python -m venv .venv
+.venv/bin/pip install -e '.[dev]'
+
+# Frontend (Node 20+)
+cd ..
+npm install
+```
+
+Optional backend extras: `pip install -e '.[sqlcipher]'` (encryption at rest, SP12) and `pip install -e '.[sftp]'` (real SFTP, SP13).
+
+## Dev (two terminals)
+
+```bash
+# Terminal 1 — backend
+cd backend
+.venv/bin/python -m cyclone serve         # default 127.0.0.1:8000
+# CYCLONE_PORT=... overrides port; CYCLONE_RELOAD=1 enables uvicorn --reload
+# Or: .venv/bin/uvicorn cyclone.api:app --reload --port 8000
+
+# Terminal 2 — frontend
+npm run dev                                # Vite on http://localhost:5173
+```
+
+Vite proxies `/api/*` to the backend at `http://127.0.0.1:${CYCLONE_PORT:-8000}` so relative-URL fetchers (the live-tail NDJSON streams in particular) resolve through the same origin. Override the backend port with `CYCLONE_PORT` in the frontend terminal too.
+
+Create `.env.local` at the repo root with `VITE_API_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000`. Without it, the UI runs against the in-memory zustand store and real EDI parsing is disabled.
+
+## Test
+
+```bash
+# Backend — full suite
+cd backend && .venv/bin/pytest
+
+# Backend — one file
+cd backend && .venv/bin/pytest tests/test_api_999.py -v
+
+# Backend — one test by node id
+cd backend && .venv/bin/pytest tests/test_api_999.py::test_parse_999_endpoint_happy_path -v
+
+# Frontend — full suite
+npm test                                    # alias for `vitest run`
+
+# Frontend — one file
+npx vitest run src/hooks/useFoo.test.ts
+
+# Frontend — typecheck
+npm run typecheck
+
+# Frontend — build (tsc -b + vite build)
+npm run build
+
+# Frontend — lint
+npm run lint
+```
+
+**Conventions** (full detail in `.superpowers/skills/cyclone-tests/SKILL.md`):
+
+- Backend tests live under `backend/tests/test_*.py`. Two flavors: `test_api_<topic>_<verb>.py` (FastAPI integration via `fastapi.testclient.TestClient`) and `test_<module>_<behavior>.py` (pure-unit). Autouse `conftest.py` points `CYCLONE_DB_URL` at `tmp_path/test.db`, calls `db._reset_for_tests()` + `db.init_db()`, and wires a fresh `EventBus` onto `app.state`.
+- Prodfiles (real EDI samples under `docs/prodfiles/<source>/`) are never read directly from a test — copy to `backend/tests/fixtures/<descriptive-name>.txt` first and reference as a module-level `Path` constant. The `fixtures/` dir is flat (no per-test subdirs).
+- Frontend tests are siblings: `useFoo.ts` → `useFoo.test.ts`, `ClaimDrawer.tsx` → `ClaimDrawer.test.tsx`. Setup is `// @vitest-environment happy-dom` plus `(globalThis as { IS_REACT_ACT_ENVIRONMENT?: boolean }).IS_REACT_ACT_ENVIRONMENT = true;`. Mock the API at the module boundary with `vi.mock("@/lib/api", ...)`; stub fetch with `vi.stubGlobal("fetch", vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(...))`. `vitest.config.ts` sets `VITE_API_BASE_URL=http://test.local` so the `api` module doesn't throw `notConfiguredError` before the mock fires.
+- Time-sensitive tests: frontend uses `vi.useFakeTimers()` + `vi.setSystemTime(...)` + `vi.advanceTimersByTime(ms)`. Backend passes explicit `datetime(...)` values. Don't add `await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, N))` — it's the legacy flaky pattern.
+
+## Project-scoped skills (`.superpowers/skills/`)
+
+Cyclone ships 8 skills under `.superpowers/skills/`. They auto-load by description match — no slash command needed. **Read the relevant skill before touching the matching subsystem.**
+
+| Skill | Owns |
+|---|---|
+| `cyclone-spec` | The SP-N spec → plan → implement → merge flow (branch shape, file paths, commit prefixes, PR title, merge shape). |
+| `cyclone-tests` | pytest + vitest fixture patterns, prodfiles drop-in rule, determinism rules. |
+| `cyclone-edi` | EDI parser/validator conventions (837P/835/999/270/271/277CA/TA1, R-codes, CAS mapping). |
+| `cyclone-tail` | Live-tail streaming wire format and the `useTailStream` + `useMergedTail` + `TailStatusPill` hook triplet. |
+| `cyclone-store` | `CycloneStore` facade, write-paths, pubsub event contract, SP21 split map. |
+| `cyclone-api-router` | FastAPI router conventions (`api_routers/`, `api_helpers.py`), response/error-envelope shapes. |
+| `cyclone-frontend-page` | React page conventions (TanStack Query `use<X>` hook, drawer, URL state, sibling test). |
+| `cyclone-cli` | CLI subcommand conventions (`cli.py`, exit codes, smoke tests). |
+
+## The SP-N increment flow
+
+Every feature ships as a numbered **SP-N increment**: spec → plan → implementation branch → single atomic merge into `main`. As of the last backfill, SP numbers are used through **SP22**; **SP23** is reserved for the Ubuntu + Docker + RBAC product fork (`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-22-cyclone-ubuntu-docker-deployment-design.md`, awaiting user decision); the next free increment is **SP24**. Read `cyclone-spec` before starting a new one. Non-negotiable shape:
+
+- **Branch:** `sp<N>-<short-kebab-topic>` (e.g. `sp22-line-reconciliation`).
+- **Spec path:** `docs/superpowers/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-cyclone-<topic>-design.md`, header `Status: Draft, awaiting user sign-off`, sections `Scope / Decisions / …`. Specs contain zero code blocks.
+- **Plan path:** `docs/superpowers/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-cyclone-<topic>.md`, header per `superpowers:writing-plans` with `Goal / Architecture / Tech Stack / Spec` metadata + numbered `- [ ] Step N:` tasks.
+- **Commit prefixes:** `feat(sp<N>): …`, `docs(spec): …`, `docs(plan): …`, `merge: SP<N> <topic> into main`.
+- **PR title:** `SP<N> <Topic>` (matches the merge-commit subject).
+- **Merge shape:** single atomic merge commit. **No squash** (collapses the audit trail) and **no rebase** (rewrites the SHAs the review was performed against). The SP-N merge commit *is* the record of the increment landing.
+
+The matching skill to load alongside `cyclone-spec` depends on the subsystem the SP-N touches (see the "Related skills" section at the bottom of each skill file).
+
+## Live-tail wire format
+
+The Claims, Remittances, and Activity pages stay current without manual refresh. The backend publishes an internal event on every store write, the page opens a streaming HTTP connection to the matching `/api/<resource>/stream` endpoint, and new rows append to the table the moment they hit the database.
+
+Endpoints (all accept the same query params as their non-streaming counterparts; `Content-Type: application/x-ndjson`):
+
+| Method | Path | Subscribes to | Default sort |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| GET | `/api/claims/stream` | `claim_written` | `-submission_date` |
+| GET | `/api/remittances/stream` | `remittance_written` | `-received_date` |
+| GET | `/api/activity/stream` | `activity_recorded` | `-timestamp` (limit 50) |
+
+Wire format: one JSON object per line, `{"type": ..., "data": ...}`. The first batch is the **snapshot** of currently-known rows, then `snapshot_end` with the count, then the **live** events. Known types: `item`, `snapshot_end`, `heartbeat` (keeps the connection alive on idle — clients flip to `stalled` after 30s of total silence), `item_dropped` (rare), `error`.
+
+Status pill states (rendered by `<TailStatusPill>` in `src/components/TailStatusPill.tsx`): `live` (success), `connecting` (warning), `reconnecting` (warning), `stalled` (destructive, ↻ Reconnect button), `error` (destructive, ↻ Reconnect button), `closed` (destructive). Backoff on error: `1s → 2s → 4s → 8s → 16s → 30s` capped. `STALL_TIMEOUT_MS = 30_000` in `src/hooks/useTailStream.ts:53`. Heartbeat interval is `CYCLONE_TAIL_HEARTBEAT_S` env var, default 15s.
+
+Frontend triplet for any live page: `use<X>(params)` (initial fetch) + `useTailStream(resource)` (opens the NDJSON stream, drives backoff/stall) + `useMergedTail(resource, baseItems, filterFn?)` (merges snapshot + tail, dedup'd by id). The subscription lives on the page, not inside the data hook — see `cyclone-frontend-page` for why.
+
+## Backend at a glance
+
+`backend/src/cyclone/` is a single namespace. The two largest files are `api.py` (~3,548 LOC, the only large file) and `store.py` (~2,423 LOC, the `CycloneStore` facade — SP21 is in flight to split it into a `cyclone/store/` subpackage; the public API stays unchanged). Subpackages: `api_routers/` (acks, admin, health, ta1_acks), `clearhouse/` (Clearhouse + SftpClient), `edi/` (filenames), `parsers/` (X12 transaction parsers + models + validators + serializers), `workflow/` (placeholder for future sub-project 6).
+
+The store is the only read/write surface for the database; every mutating endpoint goes through it. All persistence flows through SQLAlchemy sessions via `db.SessionLocal()()`. SQLAlchemy ORM models live in `db.py`; 12 SQL migrations under `migrations/` (0001_initial through 0012_backups) are walked in order by `db_migrate.py`.
+
+The parser pipeline is a 5-stage `tokenize → segmentize → model → validate → write_to_store` flow used for every inbound X12 type. Per-transaction parsers: `parse_837.py`, `parse_835.py`, `parse_999.py`, `parse_ta1.py`, `parse_270.py`, `parse_271.py`, `parse_277ca.py`. Each has a matching Pydantic model module (`models.py`, `models_835.py`, …) and a writer (`writer.py` / `writer_835.py`). The 837P serializer (`serialize_837.py`) is the byte-faithful outbound counterpart used by both single-claim download (`/api/claims/{id}/serialize-837`) and the bulk rejected-resubmit bundle (`/api/inbox/rejected/resubmit?download=true`).
+
+The pubsub is `cyclone.pubsub.EventBus` — an in-process async fan-out broker. Publishers call `publish(kind, payload)`; subscribers receive via an async iterator. If a subscriber's per-kind queue is full, the oldest event is dropped so a slow consumer can't stall the producer. Bus is single-event-loop only (matches FastAPI/uvicorn).
+
+Config: `config/payers.yaml` is the on-disk source for providers / payers / clearhouse, schema-validated at boot against a Pydantic model. Reload with `POST /api/admin/reload-config`. Original in-code `PAYER_FACTORIES` dict in `cli.py` is kept as a fallback for ad-hoc testing.
+
+Secrets live in the macOS Keychain (via `keyring` + `cyclone.secrets`): SQLCipher key (service `cyclone`, account `cyclone.db.key`), SFTP password, backup passphrase. No secrets on disk in plaintext.
+
+## Frontend at a glance
+
+`src/` is React 18 + TypeScript + Vite. Routes register in `src/App.tsx` (11 pages, all under a `<Layout>` route wrapper). Pages are pure renderers — every page pairs with a `use<X>` data hook in `src/hooks/` and renders a `<PageHeader>` + a table/list/KPI grid. Drawers (`ClaimDrawer/`, `RemitDrawer/`, plus the new `ProviderDrawer/` and `AckDrawer/`) are mounted by the page and their open/close state is mirrored to the URL via `useDrawerUrlState` so deep-links round-trip. Drill-stack navigation is provided by `<DrillStackProvider>` in `src/components/drill/`.
+
+State split: **server state** in TanStack Query (`@tanstack/react-query`); **ephemeral client state** in Zustand (`useTailStore` for live-tail append, plus the drill stack). The live-tail store is FIFO-capped at `TAIL_CAP = 10_000` per slice (`src/store/tail-store.ts:28`); `claims` and `remittances` are key-by-id with first-write-wins dedup, `activity` is an append-only array.
+
+UI primitives in `src/components/ui/` are Radix-backed (`button`, `dialog`, `table`, `select`, `pagination`, `empty-state`, `error-state`, `filter-chips`, `skeleton`, `input`, `label`, `card`, `badge`, `skip-link`, `claim-state-badge`). Don't import a new UI library without discussion.
+
+Path alias `@/` → `src/`. Configured in `vite.config.ts`, `vitest.config.ts`, and `tsconfig.app.json`.
+
+## CLI
+
+```bash
+# Parser
+python -m cyclone.cli parse-837 path/to/837p.txt --output-dir ./claims --payer co_medicaid [--strict] [--include-raw-segments]
+python -m cyclone.cli parse-835 path/to/835.txt --output-dir ./remits

+python -m cyclone.cli validate-tin 721587149
+
+# Other
+python -m cyclone serve                                    # uvicorn
+python -m cyclone backup list
+python -m cyclone backup create --reason manual
+```
+
+Exit codes are documented per subcommand in `cyclone-cli` — `0` for success, `2` for file-level failure, `1` for unexpected exceptions.
+
+## Things that are easy to get wrong
+
+- **`VITE_API_BASE_URL` matters.** With it empty, every `api` method throws `notConfiguredError()` and the UI falls back to the in-memory zustand store — parses are disabled and the live-tail streams never open.
+- **Prodfiles vs fixtures.** Tests must reference `backend/tests/fixtures/<name>.txt`, not `docs/prodfiles/<source>/<file>.txt`. The prodfiles dir is the source-of-truth archive; the fixtures dir is the stable test surface.
+- **SP-N merge shape.** No squash, no rebase. The merge commit *is* the audit trail. Squash collapses the per-commit history and breaks the SP-N audit trail.
+- **Don't put domain logic in JSX.** Conditional renderings, table sorting, and KPI math all belong in the `use<X>` hook or a pure helper under `src/lib/`.
+- **Don't open a drawer via local `useState`.** Use `useDrawerUrlState()` so the URL is the single source of truth — deep-links and reload-restore depend on it.
+- **Don't call `useTailStream` from inside a `use<X>` hook.** The subscription lives on the page so the lifecycle ties to whoever mounts the hook, not to whoever happens to call it.
+- **The store facade.** The public API of `cyclone.store` is preserved through SP21's split — call through the facade, not directly into the underlying modules.
+- **Encryption is optional, not required.** When the Keychain entry is missing **or** `sqlcipher3` is not installed, the DB falls back to plain SQLite. Don't fail boot on missing encryption.
+- **Local-only by design.** The backend binds to `127.0.0.1`, requires login (bcrypt + HttpOnly session cookie; see SP24 spec), and the threat model is still a stolen/imaged drive — SQLCipher at rest and the macOS Keychain handle that. The auth boundary is the HTTP layer; the file-system posture is unchanged. Don't add internet exposure. Don't disable auth without an explicit `CYCLONE_AUTH_DISABLED=1` env var (the escape hatch logs a WARNING at boot).

+**Bootstrap.** On first start, set `CYCLONE_ADMIN_USERNAME` and
+`CYCLONE_ADMIN_PASSWORD` (min 12 chars) in your environment. Cyclone creates the
+first admin automatically. On subsequent starts these env vars are ignored, so
+rotating the bootstrap password doesn't affect an already-seeded admin — use the
+CLI below to reset it. When running via `docker compose`, both vars are
+required: compose refuses to start with a clear error if either is missing.
+
+**CLI.** Manage users from the command line:
+
+```
+python -m cyclone users create alice --role user --password 'hunter2hunter2'
+python -m cyclone users list
+python -m cyclone users disable alice
+python -m cyclone users reset-password alice
+python -m cyclone users set-role alice --role admin
+```
+
+**Login.** Browse to `http://localhost:5173` (dev) or `http://localhost:8081`
+(Docker), sign in on the `/login` page, and you'll be redirected to the
+dashboard. Sessions are stored server-side in SQLite with a 24-hour sliding
+expiry — every authenticated request refreshes the TTL, so an active user
+never gets logged out.
+
+**Dev escape hatch.** Set `CYCLONE_AUTH_DISABLED=1` to bypass auth entirely
+(the backend auto-grants admin on every request). **NEVER set this in
+production** — it's a single env-var trip from wide-open to the public
+internet. The Docker compose file does not honor this flag.
+
+See `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-22-cyclone-auth-design.md` for the full

+## Multi-Payer, Multi-NPI & Clearhouse
+
+The payer and provider identity that used to live as a single hard-coded
+`PayerConfig` dict in the backend is now data, not code. Three new tables
+plus a YAML file drive the entire configuration:
+
+- **`providers` table** — one row per billing-provider NPI (Montrose
+  `1881068062`, Delta `1851446637`, Salida `1467507269`). All three share
+  the same `TOC, Inc.` legal name, tax ID `721587149`, and taxonomy
+  `251E00000X`. Outbound 837 files pick the right `BillingProvider` by
+  NPI; `claim.party.npi` is now a foreign key into `providers`.
+- **`payers` table** — one row per payer (`CO_TXIX`, …) with its
+  receiver identity (NM1*40 / ISA08 / GS03).
+- **`payer_configs` join table** — one row per `(payer_id, transaction_type)`
+  pair. 837P and 835 can carry different `BHT06`, SBR defaults, and
+  allowed status codes per payer.
+- **`clearhouse` single-row config** — dzinesco's identity: TPID
+  `11525703`, submitter name, MT-clock file-naming block, SFTP block.
+- **`config/payers.yaml`** — the on-disk source for everything above,
+  schema-validated at boot against a Pydantic model. A typo or missing
+  field fails the boot with a precise error. The original in-code
+  `PAYER_FACTORIES` dict is kept as a fallback for ad-hoc testing.

+## 277CA Claim Acknowledgment
+
+A 277CA (`005010X214`) is the per-claim acknowledgment CMS and
+Colorado Medicaid rely on: the file was syntactically valid *and* each
+named claim was accepted, pended, or rejected by the payer at the claim
+level. It is distinct from a 999 (file-level) and a TA1 (envelope-level).
+
+Cyclone ingests 277CA files the same way it ingests 999 / 835 — drop the
+file on the Upload page or `POST /api/parse-277ca` — and stamps every
+claim whose `STC` category is `A4`, `A6`, or `A7` with a non-null
+`payer_rejected_at` + `payer_rejected_reason` + originating 277CA row id.
+
+| Method | Path                       | Notes                                                            |
+| ------ | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| POST   | `/api/parse-277ca`         | Upload a 277CA, persist the parsed status rows.                  |
+| GET    | `/api/277ca-acks`          | List 277CA acks (filterable by date / payer).                    |
+| GET    | `/api/277ca-acks/{id}`     | One 277CA ack with its per-claim status rows + regenerated text. |
+
+The `payer_rejected` stamp is **monotonic**: a later 277CA with a looser
+status set cannot clear a previous rejection. The Payer-Rejected inbox
+lane surfaces every claim with a non-null `payer_rejected_at` — it is
+distinct from the 999 `Rejected` lane (envelope reject) and they can
+both be true for the same claim.
+
+## Tamper-Evident Audit Log
+
+The `audit_log` table is the canonical record of every state transition
+the system has ever observed — claim lifecycle, reconciliation
+decisions, config reloads, SFTP submissions, 277CA rejects. SP11 made
+it tamper-evident: every row carries a SHA-256 hash of
+`(prev_hash || row_payload)`, forming a chain back to a genesis row.
+Any `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, or `DELETE` that breaks the chain is detectable
+in a single walk.
+
+| Method | Path                              | Notes                                                          |
+| ------ | --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| GET    | `/api/admin/audit-log`            | Paginated audit log (filterable by event type / actor / date). |
+| GET    | `/api/admin/audit-log/verify`     | Walk the chain; return the first broken link, or `{ok: true}`. |
+
+`verify_chain` is the integrity check that backs the audit promise —
+it is intentionally cheap (one indexed walk) and intentionally
+side-effect-free so a scheduler can run it on a cron and alert on any
+non-`{ok: true}` result. Chain verification is **not** access-gated
+beyond the same `127.0.0.1` bind the rest of the API uses; for a
+hostile multi-operator deployment, wrap the route in your reverse proxy.
+
+## Encryption at Rest
+
+When the macOS Keychain carries an entry at service `cyclone`, account
+`cyclone.db.key`, and the optional `sqlcipher3` Python package is
+installed, the SQLite file at `~/.local/share/cyclone/cyclone.db` is
+opened with SQLCipher (AES-256). The key is read from the Keychain
+once at process start, applied via a SQLAlchemy `connect` event so
+every connection — including migrations and tests — gets the same
+`PRAGMA key`. The key is never written to disk or to a Python global.
+
+When the Keychain entry is missing **or** `sqlcipher3` is not
+installed, the DB falls back to plain SQLite. The intent is a graceful
+default for developers and CI; the production posture is that every
+operator has created the Keychain entry on first run. See
+[docs/reference/co-medicaid.md §Keychain setup](docs/reference/co-medicaid.md)
+for the one-time setup recipe and the HIPAA Security Rule §164.312(a)(2)(iv)
+mapping.
+
+### Key rotation (SP15)
+
+`POST /api/admin/db/rotate-key` re-encrypts the SQLite file in place
+with a fresh SQLCipher key via `PRAGMA rekey`, then updates the
+Keychain so subsequent connections open with the new key. The
+rotation holds a module-level `threading.Lock` (so two concurrent
+requests can't race), disposes + rebuilds the SQLAlchemy engine with
+`NullPool` (so SQLCipher's thread affinity is honored), and writes a
+tamper-evident `db.key_rotated` audit event with old + new
+fingerprints and the post-rotation table count. The old key is
+retained in the `cyclone.db.key.previous` Keychain account for a
+grace period so a botched rotation can be rolled back by hand.
+
+## NPI checksum + Tax ID format validation (SP20)
+
+Two pure local validators — no NPPES round-trip, no IRS e-file
+lookup. Catches the 99% case (a typo at the end of an NPI, a letter in
+an EIN, an extra digit, the reserved `00`/`07`/`8X` EIN prefix).
+
+| Check | Algorithm | Surface |
+|-------|-----------|---------|
+| NPI  | 10 digits where the last is a Luhn checksum over `80840 + body`. CMS-published example: body `123456789` → check `3` → valid NPI `1234567893`. | `cyclone.npi.is_valid_npi`, CLI `cyclone validate-npi <npi>`, API `GET /api/admin/validate-provider?npi=...`, validator rule `R021_npi_checksum` (warning) |
+| Tax ID (EIN) | 9 digits, optional `XX-XXXXXXX` formatting. Rejects reserved prefixes `00`, `07`, `80`–`89` (IRS Pension Plan Branch). | `cyclone.npi.is_valid_tax_id`, CLI `cyclone validate-tax-id <ein>`, API `GET /api/admin/validate-provider?tax_id=...` |
+
+### CLI
+
+```bash
+$ cyclone validate-npi 1234567893
+OK: 10-digit NPI passes Luhn checksum
+$ cyclone validate-npi 1234567890
+INVALID: '1234567890' fails NPI Luhn checksum   # exit 1
+
+$ cyclone validate-tax-id 72-1587149
+OK: 9-digit EIN (normalized=721587149)
+$ cyclone validate-tax-id 00-1234567
+INVALID: 9-digit EIN has reserved prefix (00); EIN is not assignable by IRS   # exit 1
+```
+
+### API
+
+```bash
+curl 'http://localhost:8000/api/admin/validate-provider?npi=1234567893&tax_id=72-1587149'
+# {
+#   "npi":     {"valid": true,  "skipped": false},
+#   "tax_id":  {"valid": true,  "skipped": false, "normalized": "721587149"}
+# }
+```
+
+Both query params are optional; omitted fields return
+`{"valid": null, "skipped": true}` so the caller can render "no check
+performed" rather than treating absent input as a hard fail.
+
+### Parser integration
+
+The `R021_npi_checksum` rule runs alongside the existing `R020_npi_format`
+in `cyclone.parsers.validator`. A billing-provider NPI that passes
+R020 (right shape) but fails R021 (bad Luhn) is yielded as a
+**warning**, not an error — operators sometimes ingest test fixtures
+with placeholder NPIs (e.g. all-same-digit) and we don't want to block
+that path. In strict mode (`--strict` / `?strict=true`) warnings are
+promoted to errors.
+
+### Files
+
+* `cyclone/npi.py` — new module (~155 LOC).
+* `cyclone.parsers.validator` — new `R021_npi_checksum` rule.
+* `cyclone.api_routers.admin` — new `validate-provider` endpoint.
+* `cyclone.cli` — `validate-npi` + `validate-tax-id` subcommands.
+* Tests: `test_npi.py` (27), `test_api_validate_provider.py` (4),
+  `test_cli_validate.py` (8), `test_validator.py::test_r021_*` (4) —
+  **43 new tests**.
+
+## Security hardening (SP19)
+
+Three pure-ASGI middlewares sit in front of every FastAPI request.
+They're sized for Cyclone's local-only posture — a misconfigured
+Tailscale / ngrok bind, a buggy cron job uploading a 4 GB file, or a
+port-scraper — not for hostile internet exposure.
+
+| Middleware | Default | Override | Reject |
+|------------|---------|----------|--------|
+| `BodySizeLimitMiddleware` | 50 MB | `CYCLONE_MAX_BODY_BYTES` | `413 body_too_large` over Content-Length cap; chunked reads capped too |
+| `RateLimitMiddleware` | 300 req/min/IP | `CYCLONE_RATE_LIMIT_PER_MIN` | `429 rate_limited` over the sliding window; `/api/health` exempt |
+| `SecurityHeadersMiddleware` | always on | n/a | stamps `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, `X-Frame-Options: DENY`, `Referrer-Policy: same-origin`, `Permissions-Policy`, `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'none'; frame-ancestors 'none'` |
+
+Every rejection (413 / 429) also writes a tamper-evident
+`api.request_rejected` event into the SP11 audit chain so an
+operator can correlate a misbehaving client with the SP18 JSON logs:
+
+```json
+{"event_type":"api.request_rejected","entity_id":"POST /api/parse-837","payload":{"status":413,"reason":"body_too_large","path":"/api/parse-837","method":"POST","ip":"127.0.0.1"}}
+```
+
+### Health probe
+
+`GET /api/health` now returns a subsystem snapshot:
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "ok",
+  "version": "0.1.0",
+  "db":      {"ok": true},
+  "scheduler": {"running": true, "interval_s": 60, "sftp_block": "co_medicaid",
+                "backup_scheduler_running": false, "backup_interval_hours": 24.0},
+  "pubsub":  {"parse_completed": 1, "batch_added": 1},
+  "batch":   {"last_batch_id": 42, "last_batch_kind": "837P",
+              "last_batch_at": "2026-06-21T15:30:00.123Z",
+              "last_batch_filename": "TP11525703-837P-..."}
+}
+```
+
+Returns `"status": "degraded"` if any subsystem reports an error —
+the per-subsystem dict still surfaces so an operator can see which
+one is unhappy. `/api/health` is rate-limit exempt so a load balancer
+hammering the endpoint doesn't trip the limiter.
+
+### Files
+
+* `cyclone.security` — `BodySizeLimitMiddleware`,
+  `RateLimitMiddleware`, `SecurityHeadersMiddleware`, and
+  `get_health_snapshot()` (~330 LOC).
+* `cyclone.api_routers.health` rewritten to use `get_health_snapshot()`.
+* `cyclone.pubsub.EventBus.stats()` — new method that returns
+  per-kind subscriber counts.
+* `tests/test_security.py` — 13 new tests.
+
+## Structured logging (SP18)
+
+Cyclone emits newline-delimited JSON to stderr by default — readable
+by `jq`, Loki, Vector, ELK, or any log shipper. Every record carries
+`ts` (ISO 8601 ms UTC), `level`, `logger`, `msg`, and an optional
+`extra` dict for structured fields. Exceptions render as a
+`traceback` string.
+
+```
+{"ts":"2026-06-21T15:30:00.123Z","level":"INFO","logger":"cyclone.scheduler","msg":"Processed inbound file","extra":{"input_filename":"ACK_999.x12","parser":"parse_999","claims":3}}
+{"ts":"2026-06-21T15:30:01.456Z","level":"ERROR","logger":"cyclone.api","msg":"Backup create failed","extra":{"reason":"BackupError: passphrase mismatch"},"traceback":"Traceback ..."}
+```
+
+### PII scrubbing
+
+A `PiiScrubber` filter is attached to the root logger and rewrites
+obvious PHI patterns to `<redacted:npi>` / `<redacted:ssn>` /
+`<redacted:dob>` / `<redacted:patient_name>` before any handler sees
+the record:
+
+| Pattern | Replacement |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `\b\d{10}\b` | `<redacted:npi>` |
+| `\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b` or `\b\d{9}\b` at phrase boundary | `<redacted:ssn>` |
+| `(dob\|date_of_birth)[:=]\s*\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}` | preserves the key, redacts the date |
+| `patient_name=...` | full chunk redacted |
+| Extras with key `dob`/`ssn`/`npi`/`patient_name`/… | value redacted regardless of shape |
+
+The scrubber is conservative — bare ISO dates without a `dob=` prefix
+are **not** scrubbed (they're too often timestamps or batch IDs), and
+11+ digit numbers are left alone (they can't be NPIs). Disable for
+forensic mode with `CYCLONE_LOG_NO_PII_SCRUB=1`.
+
+### Knobs
+
+| Env var | Default | Meaning |
+|---------|---------|---------|
+| `CYCLONE_LOG_LEVEL` | `INFO` | Root logger level. `DEBUG` for troubleshooting. |
+| `CYCLONE_LOG_FILE` | (none) | Write to this path via `RotatingFileHandler` (10 MB × 5 backups). |
+| `CYCLONE_LOG_JSON` | `true` | `false` uses the dev tabular formatter. |
+| `CYCLONE_LOG_NO_PII_SCRUB` | (none) | `1` disables scrubbing. |
+
+CLI:
+
+```
+cyclone --log-format=dev parse-837 sample.x12 --output-dir out/   # tabular for tail -f
+cyclone --log-file=/var/log/cyclone.log backup create              # JSON to rotating file
+```
+
+The `parse-837` / `parse-835` subcommands also accept `--log-level`
+which re-runs `setup_logging()` so the per-invocation level overrides
+the group default.
+
+### Files
+
+* `cyclone.logging_config` — `JsonFormatter`, `CycloneDevFormatter`,
+  `PiiScrubber`, `setup_logging()`.
+* `tests/test_logging_formatter.py` (11), `test_logging_scrubber.py`
+  (13), `test_logging_setup.py` (10) — 34 new tests.
+* `cyclone.api` lifespan calls `setup_logging()` first; the CLI
+  `main` group does the same.
+
+## Encrypted Backups (SP17)
+
+The BackupService takes an online consistent snapshot of the live
+SQLite file via SQLite's `.backup()` API, encrypts the bytes with
+AES-256-GCM, and writes a `.bin` + `.meta.json` pair into the backup
+directory (default `~/.local/share/cyclone/backups/`). The encryption
+key is derived from a separate passphrase in the macOS Keychain
+(PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256, 200,000 iterations, 16-byte salt persisted to
+Keychain) — so a SQLCipher DB-key compromise does not unlock the
+backups, and a backup-passphrase compromise does not unlock the live
+DB. If neither is set, the service refuses (`BackupError`) rather than
+silently writing plaintext.
+
+| Method | Path | Purpose |
+| ------ | ---- | ------- |
+| POST   | `/api/admin/backup/create` | Take an encrypted backup now. |
+| GET    | `/api/admin/backup/list` | List `db_backups` rows (newest first, filterable). |
+| GET    | `/api/admin/backup/status` | Counts, disk usage, last-run timestamp, scheduler snapshot. |
+| POST   | `/api/admin/backup/{id}/verify` | Decrypt + SHA-256 verify against the sidecar. |
+| POST   | `/api/admin/backup/{id}/restore/initiate` | First step: get `restore_token` + preview (fingerprints of backup vs live). |
+| POST   | `/api/admin/backup/{id}/restore/confirm` | Second step: dispose engine, copy decrypted DB, rebuild engine. |
+| POST   | `/api/admin/backup/prune` | Apply retention policy now. |
+| POST   | `/api/admin/backup/scheduler/{start,stop,tick}` | Operate the backup scheduler. |
+
+Restore is two-step by design: an idle browser tab can't nuke the
+live DB. The first call returns a one-shot 64-char hex
+`restore_token` plus a side-by-side preview (`backup_db_fingerprint`,
+`backup_table_count`, `current_db_fingerprint`, `current_table_count`).
+The second call swaps the live engine only if the token matches
+within a 5-minute TTL.
+
+The scheduler (auto-start opt-in via `CYCLONE_BACKUP_AUTOSTART`)
+ticks every `CYCLONE_BACKUP_INTERVAL_HOURS` (default 24), runs
+`create_now` + `prune`, and writes audit events for each outcome
+(`db.backup_created`, `db.backup_failed`, `db.backup_pruned`,
+`db.backup_restored`). The CLI mirrors the API surface:
+
+```bash
+cyclone backup init-passphrase      # one-time; interactive
+cyclone backup create
+cyclone backup list
+cyclone backup verify <id>
+cyclone backup restore <id> --yes
+cyclone backup prune --yes
+cyclone backup status
+```
+
+Retention defaults to 30 days (`CYCLONE_BACKUP_RETENTION_DAYS`). The
+retention policy is best-effort: an operator who runs `cyclone
+backup create` manually retains full control.
+
+## SFTP Wire-Up (paramiko)
+
+The `clearhouse.submit` endpoint uses `paramiko` to push a batch of
+generated 837 files to the dzinesco SFTP server
+(`mft.gainwelltechnologies.com:22`, path
+`/CO XIX/PROD/coxix_prod_11525703/FromHPE`). The SFTP credential is
+fetched from the macOS Keychain at call time — never read from YAML,
+never logged, never written to disk. The wire-up honors the file-naming
+template stored in the `clearhouse` config:
+
+```
+outbound: {tpid}-{tx}-{ts_mt}-1of1.{ext}        e.g. 11525703-837P-20260620181814559-1of1.txt
+inbound:  TP{tpid}-{orig_tx}_M{tracking}-{ts}-1of1_{file_type}.x12
+```
+
+where `{ts_mt}` is a 17-digit `yyyymmddhhmmssSSS` Mountain Time stamp.
+Inbound filenames are routed by `<FileType>` and `<OrigTx>` to the
+matching parser (`999`, `TA1`, `271`, `277`, `277CA`, `835`).
+
+The `SftpClient` interface is the same one the SP9 stub used — the swap
+was a one-file change (`sftp_paramiko.py` replacing `sftp_stub.py`).
+`paramiko` is an optional dependency; the stub remains the default when
+the `paramiko` extras aren't installed so the test suite stays green on
+Linux dev boxes.

 ## Roadmap
 
-Sub-projects 2 through 8 are **shipped**. Next up:
+> **Read order for new engineers:**
+> 1. [`docs/REQUIREMENTS.md`](docs/REQUIREMENTS.md) — what Cyclone does (FRs + NFRs + DoD + traceability). The single index tying the 22 shipped sub-projects to the 38 functional + 18 non-functional requirements and the test strategy.
+> 2. [`docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md) — how it fits together (process topology, package layout, data flow, lifecycle, operational concerns).
+> 3. The per-SP spec under [`docs/superpowers/specs/`](docs/superpowers/specs/) for whatever you're touching.
+> 4. The per-SP plan under [`docs/superpowers/plans/`](docs/superpowers/plans/) if you're implementing.
+
+Sub-projects 2 through 19 are **shipped**. See the [completeness
+review](docs/reviews/2026-06-20-cyclone-completeness-review.md) for
+the honest gap analysis against the industry definition of a HIPAA
+clearinghouse — the short version is that the local-only,
+single-operator, single-payer design contract is honored, and the
+items that would be needed to expand that contract (AS2/AS4, SNIP 1–7,
+HITRUST, 276/277 status, 278 referrals, COB) are intentionally out of
+scope.
+
+Shipped sub-projects (most recent first):
+
+- **Sub-project 22 (shipped) — Pipeline automation agent.** A
+  sibling project at `/Users/openclaw/dev/cyclone-pipeline` that
+  drives the full 7-phase round-trip (preflight → browser upload →
+  parse verify → SFTP submit → TA1 wait → 999 wait → scan + report)
+  with crash-safe resume, structured JSON logging, idempotency
+  dedup, and a per-run report. Pure Python 3.11+ (httpx, Playwright,
+  Click, pydantic v2, structlog). The 835 is not waited for inline —
+  it lands the following Monday — and is verified by a separate
+  `check-835` subcommand. Embeddable as a library for OpenClaw / Nora
+  agent integration. See
+  [Pipeline automation agent](#pipeline-automation-agent) above.
+- **Sub-project 19 (shipped) — Security hardening + health probe.**
+  Three pure-ASGI middlewares (`BodySizeLimitMiddleware`,
+  `RateLimitMiddleware`, `SecurityHeadersMiddleware`) close the
+  completeness-review gaps §3.1.4 (no body/rate limits) and §3.1.25
+  (no CSP / security headers). 413/429 rejections emit a
+  tamper-evident `api.request_rejected` audit event (SP11 chain).
+  `/api/health` is now a rich subsystem snapshot — DB connectivity,
+  MFT scheduler state, backup scheduler state, live pubsub
+  subscriber counts, last batch id + timestamp. See
+  [Security hardening (SP19)](#security-hardening-sp19) below.
+- **Sub-project 20 (shipped) — NPI checksum + Tax ID format validation.**
+  Pure local validators (`cyclone.npi`) — no NPPES round-trip, no IRS
+  e-file lookup. Catches the 99% typo case at parse time. NPI uses
+  CMS-published Luhn over `80840 + body` (example: `1234567893` is
+  valid). EIN rejects reserved prefixes (`00`, `07`, `80`–`89`).
+  Surface: `cyclone validate-npi` / `validate-tax-id` CLI subcommands,
+  `GET /api/admin/validate-provider`, new `R021_npi_checksum`
+  validator rule (warning, not error — placeholder NPIs in test
+  fixtures shouldn't block ingest). See
+  [NPI checksum + Tax ID format validation (SP20)](#npi-checksum--tax-id-format-validation-sp20)
+  below.
+- **Sub-project 18 (shipped) — Structured JSON logging.** All logs
+  emitted by the API, CLI, scheduler tick loop, and backup service
+  flow through a `JsonFormatter` (newline-delimited JSON, ISO-8601 ms
+  timestamps) by default. A `PiiScrubber` filter redacts obvious PHI
+  (NPIs, SSNs, DOBs, patient names) from message + extras — both via
+  inline patterns (`npi 1881068062`) and via PHI-keyed extras
+  (`extra={"dob": "1980-04-12"}`). Configurable via env vars
+  (`CYCLONE_LOG_LEVEL`, `CYCLONE_LOG_FILE`, `CYCLONE_LOG_JSON`,
+  `CYCLONE_LOG_NO_PII_SCRUB`) and CLI flags
+  (`--log-format=json|dev`, `--log-file=…`); a tabular `CycloneDevFormatter`
+  is the opt-out for `tail -f` in dev. See
+  [Structured logging](#structured-logging-sp18) below.
+- **Sub-project 17 (shipped) — Encrypted DB backups.** Automated
+  encrypted backups via AES-256-GCM (PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256, 200k iters).
+  The operator sets a separate passphrase in the macOS Keychain
+  (`cyclone backup init-passphrase`); if missing, the service falls
+  back to deriving from the SQLCipher DB key with a WARNING. Online
+  backups via SQLite `.backup()`, two-step restore (`initiate` →
+  `confirm` with one-shot 64-char hex token), retention pruning with
+  a 30-day default, and a tamper-evident audit chain (`db.backup_created`,
+  `db.backup_failed`, `db.backup_pruned`, `db.backup_restored`,
+  `db.backup_passphrase_set`). Backup scheduler ticks every 24h
+  (configurable); auto-start opt-in via `CYCLONE_BACKUP_AUTOSTART`.
+  Seven admin endpoints + six CLI subcommands. See
+  [Encrypted Backups](#encrypted-backups) below.
+- **Sub-project 16 (shipped) — Live MFT polling scheduler.** asyncio
+  background loop polls the Gainwell MFT inbound path, downloads
+  new files, and routes them through the right parser (999 / 835 /
+  277CA / TA1). Idempotent (re-ticks skip already-processed files
+  via the new `processed_inbound_files` table). Crash-safe (per-file
+  try/except so a bad file doesn't stop the loop). Five admin
+  endpoints (`/api/admin/scheduler/{status,start,stop,tick,processed-files}`).
+- **Sub-project 15 (shipped) — SQLCipher key rotation.** In-place
+  rotation via `PRAGMA rekey`, serialized through a module-level
+  `threading.Lock` and a SQLAlchemy `NullPool` to keep SQLCipher
+  thread-affine under FastAPI's per-request threadpool. Writes a
+  `db.key_rotated` audit event with old + new key fingerprints and
+  post-rotation `table_count`. See
+  [Encryption at Rest — Key rotation](#key-rotation).
+- **Sub-project 14 (shipped) — 5-lane Inbox UI.** The Payer-Rejected
+  lane is now rendered in the Inbox alongside Rejected / Candidates /
+  Unmatched / Done today. New bulk action
+  `POST /api/inbox/payer-rejected/acknowledge` drops claims from the
+  working surface without erasing the original 277CA rejection event
+  (audit log stays intact, SP11).
+- **Sub-project 13 (shipped) — SFTP wire-up.** `paramiko`-backed
+  `SftpClient` replaces the SP9 stub. The clearhouse.submit endpoint
+  actually pushes to
+  `mft.gainwelltechnologies.com:/CO XIX/PROD/coxix_prod_11525703/FromHPE`.
+  SFTP credentials are read from the macOS Keychain at call time.
+- **Sub-project 12 (shipped) — Encryption at rest.** Optional
+  SQLCipher AES-256 encryption of the SQLite file, with the key
+  fetched from the macOS Keychain. Falls back to plain SQLite when
+  the Keychain entry is missing or `sqlcipher3` isn't installed.
+- **Sub-project 11 (shipped) — Tamper-evident audit log.** Every
+  `audit_log` row carries a SHA-256 hash chained to the previous row;
+  a single walk via `GET /api/admin/audit-log/verify` detects any
+  break.
+- **Sub-project 10 (shipped) — 277CA + Payer-Rejected lane.** Inbound
+  277CA parser + a new Payer-Rejected inbox lane distinct from the
+  999-envelope Rejected lane. The rejection stamp is monotonic.
+- **Sub-project 9 (shipped) — Multi-payer, multi-NPI, SFTP stub.** The
+  in-code `PAYER_FACTORIES` dict is replaced by a `config/payers.yaml`
+  + 3 new DB tables (`providers`, `payers`, `payer_configs`) +
+  `clearhouse` singleton. Added a `POST /api/clearhouse/submit` stub
+  that writes to a local `staging_dir` — swapped for real `paramiko`
+  in SP13.

+## As needed
+
+- **Add an operator.** Log in as admin → `/admin/users` → Create user. Roles: `admin` / `user` / `viewer`.
+- **Reset a password.** Admin UI → Users → Reset password, OR `docker compose exec backend python -m cyclone admin reset-password --username <name>`.
+- **Restore from backup.** Admin UI → Backups → pick the snapshot → Initiate restore → Confirm. The backend will restart automatically.

+- **Off-box backup copy.** The operator is expected to rsync `/var/lib/docker/volumes/cyclone_backups/_data/` to an external drive or NAS nightly. The `.bin` files are already encrypted; the destination doesn't need its own encryption.
+- **Inspect the DB.** `docker compose exec backend sqlite3 /var/lib/cyclone/db/cyclone.db ".tables"` (works only if SQLCipher key is on disk; the in-process decrypt happens via the cyclone backend).
+
+## Annual
+
+- [ ] Rotate the admin password (force re-login for everyone).
+- [ ] Audit the `/etc/cyclone/secrets/` directory permissions — should be `chmod 600 root:root`.
+- [ ] Review the audit log for stale admin sessions.
+
+## Emergency
+
+- **Backend won't start.** `docker compose logs --tail=300 backend`. Look for migration failures (rerun is safe — migrations are forward-only), SQLCipher key mismatch (`PRAGMA key` failure), or port collisions.
+- **Frontend won't serve.** `docker compose logs --tail=100 frontend`. Usually nginx config drift; `docker compose restart frontend`.
+- **Both unhealthy after a host reboot.** Docker may have come up before the named volumes did. `docker compose down && docker compose up -d`.

+"""SP17 — Encrypted backup primitives.
+
+This module provides the low-level building blocks the rest of the
+backup stack uses:
+
+* ``derive_key``  — PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 key derivation (200,000
+  iterations, 32-byte output). The salt is per-backup, not global,
+  so identical passphrases produce different keys per backup.
+
+* ``encrypt`` / ``decrypt`` — AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption.
+  Output layout: ``salt (16) | nonce (12) | ciphertext | tag (16)``.
+  The GCM tag is appended to the ciphertext by the cryptography
+  library; we don't prepend it.
+
+* ``fingerprint`` — SHA-256 of a byte string, returned in the
+  ``sha256:<hex>`` format we use across the codebase for DB keys and
+  audit events.
+
+* ``BackupError`` / ``BackupDecryptError`` — typed exceptions so
+  callers can distinguish "wrong passphrase" from "I/O failed".
+
+The crypto choices are deliberate:
+
+* **AES-256-GCM** is the modern AEAD standard; the tag authenticates
+  both the ciphertext and the AAD (we pass an empty AAD; the
+  format itself is self-describing).
+
+* **PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 @ 200k iters** is OWASP's 2023+ minimum for
+  PBKDF2-SHA256. Argon2id would be better but adds a C dependency;
+  PBKDF2 is stdlib via the ``cryptography`` package.
+
+* **Random salt per backup** prevents rainbow-table attacks across
+  the operator's backup set.
+
+* **Random 96-bit nonce per encryption** is what AES-GCM requires;
+  we use ``os.urandom`` which is a CSPRNG on every platform we run
+  on (macOS, Linux).

+"""SP17 — Backup scheduler.
+
+Wraps :class:`cyclone.backup_service.BackupService` in an
+asyncio task, mirroring the MFT scheduler pattern (SP16). A backup
+tick:
+
+1. Calls :meth:`BackupService.create_now` to take + encrypt a backup.
+2. Calls :meth:`BackupService.prune` to apply the retention policy.
+3. Writes a tamper-evident ``audit_log`` row (SP11) for each outcome.
+
+The scheduler is OFF by default. Operators opt in via
+``CYCLONE_BACKUP_AUTOSTART=true``. The poll interval is
+``CYCLONE_BACKUP_INTERVAL_HOURS`` (default 24).
+
+Like the MFT scheduler, this is single-asyncio-task — no
+threading, no APScheduler. All access (start/stop/tick/status)
+must happen on the same event loop; the FastAPI app satisfies
+that trivially because endpoints run on the loop.

+  writes a ``.bin`` + ``.meta.json`` pair into the backup directory,
+  and persists a row in ``db_backups``.
+
+* ``list_backups`` — directory listing joined with ``db_backups`` rows.
+
+* ``verify`` — decrypts + recomputes SHA-256, compares to the sidecar.
+
+* ``restore_initiate`` / ``restore_confirm`` — two-step restore so an
+  idle browser tab can't nuke the live DB. The first call returns a
+  ``restore_token`` (a random 32-byte hex string) plus a preview
+  (``db_fingerprint``, ``table_count``). The second call swaps the
+  engine only if the token matches.
+
+* ``prune`` — deletes backups older than ``retention_days``.
+
+This module is intentionally engine-aware: ``create_now`` reaches
+into the live SQLAlchemy engine to get a raw SQLite connection and
+call ``.backup()`` (the only way to take an online consistent
+snapshot). ``restore`` reaches into :func:`cyclone.db.dispose_engine`
++ :func:`cyclone.db.reinit_engine` to swap to the restored file.
+
+The encryption key is loaded once at construction time:
+
+* If a backup passphrase is set in the Keychain (``backup.passphrase``
+  account under service ``cyclone``), use it directly with the salt
+  stored in the companion ``backup.salt`` account. The salt must be
+  persisted — a fresh random salt per process would defeat the key.
+* Otherwise fall back to deriving from the SQLCipher DB key + a fixed
+  salt. Logged at WARNING because this is a degraded-but-still-safe

+Wraps Python's stdlib ``logging`` to emit newline-delimited JSON

+
+Design choices
+--------------
+
+* **No third-party deps.** stdlib ``logging`` + ``json`` + ``re``

+  a dependency for marginal gain.
+
+* **JSON by default.** Operators running Cyclone in production
+  almost certainly want logs in a format their aggregator
+  (Loki/ELK/Vector) can parse. The dev format (``CycloneDevFormatter``)
+  is the opt-out for ``tail -f`` in dev.
+
+* **Conservative PII scrubber.** Redacts unambiguous PHI patterns
+  only. False positives are not free — an operator's diagnostic
+  dump that says ``<redacted:npi>`` instead of the actual NPI
+  makes root-causing a parse failure harder. The scrubber can be
+  disabled with ``CYCLONE_LOG_NO_PII_SCRUB=1`` for tests /
+  forensic mode.
+
+* **Idempotent setup.** :func:`setup_logging` can be called
+  multiple times (CLI re-invocation, FastAPI lifespan re-entry
+  under TestClient). Each call clears existing handlers on the
+  root logger before attaching fresh ones — so the format toggle

+"""Background inbound MFT polling scheduler (SP16).
+
+Turns Cyclone from a manual upload tool into a live clearinghouse:
+a long-running asyncio task that periodically polls the Gainwell MFT
+inbound path, downloads each new file, and runs it through the
+appropriate parser. The operator no longer has to watch for inbound
+files and POST them to ``/api/parse-999`` etc. by hand.
+
+Design constraints
+------------------
+
+* **Idempotent.** A re-tick (or a process restart) must not re-parse
+  the same inbound file. We persist a ``processed_inbound_files`` row
+  per file and skip ones we've already seen.
+
+* **Crash-safe.** If the parser raises or the DB write fails, the
+  scheduler logs the error, records an ``error`` row, and moves on.
+  The next tick continues from the next file.
+
+* **Bounded blast radius.** A bad file must not stop the scheduler.
+  Each file is wrapped in try/except so a 999 parser crash doesn't
+  prevent us from processing the next inbound 835.
+
+* **Operator-controlled.** The scheduler is OFF by default; the
+  operator must explicitly start it (``POST /api/admin/scheduler/start``
+  or ``CYCLONE_SCHEDULER_AUTOSTART=true``). When it's running, status
+  is exposed via ``GET /api/admin/scheduler/status``.
+
+* **No threading.** We use ``asyncio.create_task`` + ``asyncio.sleep``
+  rather than APScheduler or threading because the rest of the
+  codebase is asyncio-native (FastAPI). The whole polling loop runs
+  in the FastAPI event loop on the main thread.
+
+Compliance: SP16 is operational metadata only. Inbound file
+processing is NOT part of the HIPAA audit chain (SP11) — an SFTP
+outage shouldn't pollute the audit log with parser errors.

+"""SP19 — Security middleware + health probe.
+
+Three concrete middlewares (body size, rate limit, security headers)
+plus a richer ``/api/health`` snapshot. Sizing is for Cyclone's
+local-only posture: a misconfigured Tailscale / ngrok bind, a
+misbehaving cron job, a port-scanner scraping the API. Anything more
+aggressive (auth, mTLS, WAF) is out of scope.
+
+Design choices
+--------------
+
+* **In-memory rate limiter.** Cyclone is single-process; a dict
+  keyed by IP is enough. If we ever go multi-worker, swap for
+  Redis. The rate-limit counter resets after the bucket window;
+  failing open on the limiter itself (an unexpected exception)
+  rather than 503ing every request is the right call for a local tool.
+
+* **Body-size check by Content-Length first, then chunked-read
+  guard.** A chunked POST can lie about its size (or omit the
+  header entirely); we cap read body size on the underlying stream
+  so a malicious client can't keep streaming forever.
+
+* **Security headers on every response.** CSP locks the API to
+  same-origin + the Vite dev origin (whitelisted explicitly so a
+  future operator running on a different port doesn't break).
+
+* **Health snapshot is best-effort.** Each subsystem (DB,
+  scheduler, pubsub) reports independently — a DB outage doesn't
+  blank out the rest. ``status: "degraded"`` if any subsystem is
+  unhappy; ``"ok"`` only when everything is.

+"""CLI subcommand: ``python -m cyclone seed``.
+
+Populates the local DB with a deterministic batch of sample claims
+plus matching activity events, so the Dashboard / Claims / Activity
+Log pages have something to render in a fresh dev environment.
+
+This is a dev-only convenience — the production DB never sees this
+command (no ``[env: dev]`` gate, but it's never wired into any
+container image). It writes rows with a recognizable batch id prefix
+(``SEED-``) so ``--reset`` can clean them up without touching real
+ingested data.
+
+Why the data shape is hand-rolled here
+--------------------------------------
+
+The ``Claim`` ORM table stores its billing_provider / payer /
+subscriber / service_lines payloads in a ``raw_json`` blob that the
+read path (``store.to_ui_claim_from_orm``) parses back into the UI
+shape. Mirroring the 837 parser's structure keeps the UI rendering
+identical to a real ingestion — wire format parity, not shortcuts.
+
+Activity rows are similar: ``payload_json`` carries the message
+string the Dashboard's activity card shows.
+
+Subcommands
+-----------
+
+``python -m cyclone seed``              — insert the default batch.
+``python -m cyclone seed --count N``    — insert N claims (default 96).
+``python -m cyclone seed --reset``      — wipe previously-seeded rows
+                                          first, then insert a fresh batch.
+``python -m cyclone seed --status``     — print row counts without
+                                          inserting anything.
+
+Exit codes
+----------
+
+* 0 — success (or already seeded and not asked to reset).
+* 1 — DB error during insert.
+* 2 — usage error (bad flag value).
+
+The command is idempotent: re-running without ``--reset`` is a no-op
+once a seed batch exists. This keeps ``cyclone``-driven boot scripts
+safe to re-run.
