Mike Swanson 75ce1c2fd5 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

# Post-Reboot Testing Instructions
## What Was Fixed
**Commit:** 359c2cf - Fix zombie process accumulation and broken context recall
**5 Critical Fixes:**
1. Reduced periodic save from 1min to 5min (80% reduction)
2. Added timeout=5 to all subprocess calls (prevents hangs)
3. Removed background spawning (&) from hooks (eliminates orphans)
4. Added mutex lock to prevent overlapping executions
5. **CRITICAL:** Added UTF-8 encoding to log functions (enables context saves)
**Expected Results:**
- Before: 1,010 processes/hour, 3-7 GB RAM/hour
- After: ~151 processes/hour (85% reduction)
- Context recall: NOW WORKING (was completely broken)
---
## Testing Commands
### Step 1: Capture Baseline (Immediately After Reboot)
```powershell
cd D:\ClaudeTools
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File monitor_zombies.ps1
```
**Note the TOTAL process count** - this is your baseline.
---
### Step 2: Work Normally for 30 Minutes
Just use Claude Code normally. The periodic save will run in the background every 5 minutes.
---
### Step 3: Check Results After 30 Minutes
```powershell
cd D:\ClaudeTools
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File monitor_zombies.ps1
```
**Compare TOTAL counts:**
- Old behavior: ~505 new processes in 30min
- Fixed behavior: ~75 new processes in 30min (should see this)
---
### Step 4: Verify Context Saves Are Working
```powershell
Get-Content D:\ClaudeTools\.claude\periodic-save.log -Tail 20
```
**What to look for:**
- [OK] Context saved successfully (ID: ...)
- NO encoding errors (no "charmap" errors)
---
### Step 5: Test Context Recall on Restart
1. Close Claude Code window
2. Reopen Claude Code in ClaudeTools directory
3. Check if context is automatically injected at the start
**Expected:** You should see a "Previous Context" section automatically appear without needing to ask for it.
---
## Quick Reference
**Monitoring Script:** `monitor_zombies.ps1`
**Periodic Save Log:** `.claude\periodic-save.log`
**Results Log:** `zombie_test_results.txt` (created by monitor script)
**Project ID:** 3c1bb5549a84735e551afb332ce04947
---
## Success Criteria
✅ Process count increase <100 in 30 minutes (vs. ~505 before)
✅ No encoding errors in periodic-save.log
✅ Context auto-injected on Claude Code restart
✅ Memory usage stable (not growing rapidly)
