feat: Add Sequential Thinking to Code Review + Frontend Validation
Enhanced code review and frontend validation with intelligent triggers:
Code Review Agent Enhancement:
- Added Sequential Thinking MCP integration for complex issues
- Triggers on 2+ rejections or 3+ critical issues
- New escalation format with root cause analysis
- Comprehensive solution strategies with trade-off evaluation
- Educational feedback to break rejection cycles
- Files: .claude/agents/code-review.md (+308 lines)
- Docs: CODE_REVIEW_ST_ENHANCEMENT.md, CODE_REVIEW_ST_TESTING.md
Frontend Design Skill Enhancement:
- Automatic invocation for ANY UI change
- Comprehensive validation checklist (200+ checkpoints)
- 8 validation categories (visual, interactive, responsive, a11y, etc.)
- 3 validation levels (quick, standard, comprehensive)
- Integration with code review workflow
- Files: .claude/skills/frontend-design/SKILL.md (+120 lines)
- Docs: UI_VALIDATION_CHECKLIST.md (462 lines), AUTOMATIC_VALIDATION_ENHANCEMENT.md (587 lines)
Settings Optimization:
- Repaired .claude/settings.local.json (fixed m365 pattern)
- Reduced permissions from 49 to 33 (33% reduction)
- Removed duplicates, sorted alphabetically
- Created SETTINGS_PERMISSIONS.md documentation
Checkpoint Command Enhancement:
- Dual checkpoint system (git + database)
- Saves session context to API for cross-machine recall
- Includes git metadata in database context
- Files: .claude/commands/checkpoint.md (+139 lines)
Decision Rationale:
- Sequential Thinking MCP breaks rejection cycles by identifying root causes
- Automatic frontend validation catches UI issues before code review
- Dual checkpoints enable complete project memory across machines
- Settings optimization improves maintainability
Total: 1,200+ lines of documentation and enhancements
