**Git Hooks**: Pre-commit validation and testing ### **Architecture Validation** The system includes comprehensive architectural validation: - **Module Structure Verification**: Ensures proper dependency injection - **Service Boundary Validation**: Confirms clean separation of concerns - **MCP Compliance Checking**: Validates protocol adherence - **Performance Monitoring**: Tracks response times and resource usage - **Quality Gate Enforcement**: Automated quality validation ## ✅ Recent Refactor: Centralized Workflow Execution State Handling (v1.1.15) To improve reliability during bootstrap and step progression, the execution-state write logic has been centralized: - **`WorkflowExecutionState` Interface & Zod Schema** (`workflow-execution-state.schema.ts`) - Runtime-validated representation of execution progress, last transition, and progress markers. - Guarantees structural consistency across all state writes. - **`updateExecutionState` Helper** (`WorkflowExecutionService`) - Merges partial state patches with current state, validates via Zod, and persists atomically. - Used by `RoleTransitionService`, `StepExecutionService`, `WorkflowGuidanceMcpService`, and others. Benefits: 1. **Consistency** – Every state mutation passes the same schema check. 2. **Maintainability** – Single helper replaces scattered `executionState` updates. 3. **Type-Safety** – Compile-time type plus runtime validation. 4. **Observability** – Progress markers and timestamps updated centrally, simplifying analytics. All legacy direct writes have been refactored to use the helper. Unit & integration tests cover schema validation (happy & failure paths) and concurrency safety. --- **The Anubis represents a sophisticated, enterprise-grade architecture that combines the power of NestJS v11.0.1, Prisma v6.9.0, and MCP protocol compliance to deliver intelligent workflow guidance for AI-assisted development.**
