## 🚀 Next Steps (Choose Your Path)
### Option A: Quick Start (Recommended)
**Use the handoff prompts for Phase 0 execution in new chat sessions:**
1. **Read the planning first:**
```bash
cd /Users/cliffclarke/Claude_Code/codebase-mcp/docs/mcp-split-plan
# Start with these 3 files in order:
cat README.md # Executive summary (5 min)
cat IMPLEMENTATION-ROADMAP.md # Complete roadmap (15 min)
cat PHASE-0-FINAL-PLAN.md # Phase 0 details (30 min)
```
2. **Open NEW chat for Phase 0A (workflow-mcp):**
- Copy content from: `HANDOFF-PHASE-0A-WORKFLOW-MCP.md`
- Paste into new Claude Code chat
- Claude will execute Phase 0A (30 hours)
3. **Open NEW chat for Phase 0B (codebase-mcp):**
- Copy content from: `HANDOFF-PHASE-0B-CODEBASE-MCP.md`
- Paste into new Claude Code chat
- Claude will execute Phase 0B (18 hours)
**Why new chats?**
- Fresh context window (this chat is at 117K/200K tokens)
- Focused execution without planning history
- Cleaner commit history per phase

### Option B: Continue in This Chat (Alternative)
**If you want to execute Phase 0 in this chat:**
1. **Backup first:**
```bash
git push origin master
git push origin v1.0.0-planning-complete
```
2. **Start Phase 0B (codebase-mcp):**
```bash
cd /Users/cliffclarke/Claude_Code/codebase-mcp
git checkout -b 004-multi-project-refactor
git tag backup-before-refactor
# Follow PHASE-0-FINAL-PLAN.md section "Phase 0B"
```
3. **Then Phase 0A (workflow-mcp):**
```bash
mkdir -p /Users/cliffclarke/Claude_Code/workflow-mcp
cd /Users/cliffclarke/Claude_Code/workflow-mcp
git init
# Follow PHASE-0-FINAL-PLAN.md section "Phase 0A"
```

## 🔒 Safety & Rollback
### Before Starting Phase 0
**Create backup:**
```bash
cd /Users/cliffclarke/Claude_Code/codebase-mcp
git tag backup-before-phase0
git push origin backup-before-phase0
git push origin v1.0.0-planning-complete
```
### If Issues Occur
**Emergency rollback:**
```bash
cd /Users/cliffclarke/Claude_Code/codebase-mcp
git checkout main
git reset --hard backup-before-phase0
```
For workflow-mcp (new repo):
```bash
rm -rf /Users/cliffclarke/Claude_Code/workflow-mcp
# Re-run Phase 0A from scratch
```

## 💡 Pro Tips
### For Phase 0 Execution
1. **Read PHASE-0-FINAL-PLAN.md first** - All critical issues are resolved in this version
2. **Use the handoff prompts** - They're self-contained with complete context
3. **Run in parallel** - Phase 0A and 0B can run simultaneously (2 chat sessions)
4. **Verify each section** - Follow the checklists in the plan
5. **Commit frequently** - Micro-commits after each completed step
### Common Issues (Already Addressed in Final Plan)
✅ Bash script syntax errors - Fixed with heredoc
✅ Hardcoded passwords - Secure password management added
✅ Missing baseline implementation - Real tests included
✅ CI/CD idempotency - Fixed with conditional checks
✅ pgvector installation - Added to database setup
✅ Security scanning - Added to CI/CD pipeline
