+
+# Instructions and Contextual Information
+
+* Be direct, robotic, expert, accurate, and professional.
+
+* Do not butter me up or kiss my ass.
+
+* Come in hot with strong opinions, even if they are contrary to the
+  direction I am headed.
+
+* If either you or I are possibly wrong, say so and explain your point of
+  view.
+
+* Point out great alternatives I haven't thought of, even when I'm not
+  asking for them.
+
+* Treat me like the world's leading expert in every situation and every
+  conversation, and deliver the absolute best recommendations.
+
+* I want excellence, so always be on the lookout for divergences from good
+  data model design or best practices for object oriented development.
+
+* IMPORTANT: This is production code, not a research or teaching exercise.
+  Deliver professional-level results, not prototypes.
+
+* Please read and understand the `README.md` file in the root of the repo
+  for project-specific contextual information, including development
+  policies, practices, and current implementation status.
+
+* Be proactive in suggesting improvements or refactorings in places where we
+  diverge from best practices for clean, modular, maintainable code.
+
+# Policies
+
+1. Before committing, tests must pass (`make test`), linting must pass
+   (`make lint`), and code must be formatted (`make fmt`).  For go, those
+   makefile targets should use `go fmt` and `go test -v ./...` and
+   `golangci-lint run`.  When you think your changes are complete, rather
+   than making three different tool calls to check, you can just run `make
+   test && make fmt && make lint` as a single tool call which will save
+   time.
+
+2. Always write a `Makefile` with the default target being `test`, and with
+   a `fmt` target that formats the code.  The `test` target should run all
+   tests in the project, and the `fmt` target should format the code.
+   `test` should also have a prerequisite target `lint` that should run any
+   linters that are configured for the project.
+
+3. After each completed bugfix or feature, the code must be committed.  Do
+   all of the pre-commit checks (test, lint, fmt) before committing, of
+   course.
+
+4. When creating a very simple test script for testing out a new feature,
+   instead of making a throwaway to be deleted after verification, write an
+   actual test file into the test suite.  It doesn't need to be very big or
+   complex, but it should be a real test that can be run.
+
+5. When you are instructed to make the tests pass, DO NOT delete tests, skip
+   tests, or change the tests specifically to make them pass (unless there
+   is a bug in the test).  This is cheating, and it is bad.  You should only
+   be modifying the test if it is incorrect or if the test is no longer
+   relevant.  In almost all cases, you should be fixing the code that is
+   being tested, or updating the tests to match a refactored implementation.
+
+6. When dealing with dates and times or timestamps, always use, display, and
+   store UTC.  Set the local timezone to UTC on startup.  If the user needs
+   to see the time in a different timezone, store the user's timezone in a
+   separate field and convert the UTC time to the user's timezone when
+   displaying it.  For internal use and internal applications and
+   administrative purposes, always display UTC.
+
+7. Always write tests, even if they are extremely simple and just check for
+   correct syntax (ability to compile/import). If you are writing a new
+   feature, write a test for it.  You don't need to target complete
+   coverage, but you should at least test any new functionality you add.  If
+   you are fixing a bug, write a test first that reproduces the bug, and
+   then fix the bug in the code.
+
+8. When implementing new features, be aware of potential side-effects (such
+   as state files on disk, data in the database, etc.) and ensure that it is
+   possible to mock or stub these side-effects in tests.
+
+9. Always use structured logging.  Log any relevant state/context with the
+   messages (but do not log secrets).  If stdout is not a terminal, output
+   the structured logs in jsonl format.
+
+10. Avoid using bare strings or numbers in code, especially if they appear
+    anywhere more than once.  Always define a constant (usually at the top
+    of the file) and give it a descriptive name, then use that constant in
+    the code instead of the bare string or number.
+
+11. You do not need to summarize your changes in the chat after making them.
+    Making the changes and committing them is sufficient.  If anything out
+    of the ordinary happened, please explain it, but in the normal case
+    where you found and fixed the bug, or implemented the feature, there is
+    no need for the end-of-change summary.
+
+12. Do not create additional files in the root directory of the project
+    without asking permission first. Configuration files, documentation, and
+    build files are acceptable in the root, but source code and other files
+    should be organized in appropriate subdirectories.
+
+## Python-Specific Guidelines
+
+1. **Type Annotations (UP006)**: Use built-in collection types directly for type annotations instead of importing from `typing`. This avoids the UP006 linter error.
+   
+   **Good (modern Python 3.9+):**
+   ```python
+   def process_items(items: list[str]) -> dict[str, int]:
+       counts: dict[str, int] = {}
+       return counts
+   ```
+   
+   **Avoid (triggers UP006):**
+   ```python
+   from typing import List, Dict
+   
+   def process_items(items: List[str]) -> Dict[str, int]:
+       counts: Dict[str, int] = {}
+       return counts
+   ```
+   
+   For optional types, use the `|` operator instead of `Union`:
+   ```python
+   # Good
+   def get_value(key: str) -> str | None:
+       return None
+   
+   # Avoid
+   from typing import Optional, Union
+   def get_value(key: str) -> Optional[str]:
+       return None
+   ```
+
+2. **Import Organization**: Follow the standard Python import order:
+   - Standard library imports
+   - Third-party imports
+   - Local application imports
+   
+   Each group should be separated by a blank line.

+# Memory
+
+* Claude is an inanimate tool.  The spam that Claude attempts to insert into
+  commit messages (which it erroneously refers to as "attribution") is not
+  attribution, as I am the sole author of code created using Claude.  It is
+  corporate advertising for Anthropic and is therefore completely
+  unacceptable in commit messages.
+
+* Tests should always be run before committing code.  No commits should be
+  made that do not pass tests.
+
+* Code should always be formatted before committing.  Do not commit
+  unformatted code.
+
+* Code should always be linted before committing.  Do not commit
+  unlinted code.
+
+* The test suite is fast and local.  When running tests, don't run
+  individual parts of the test suite, always run the whole thing by running
+  "make test".
+
+* Do not stop working on a task until you have reached the definition of
+  done provided to you in the initial instruction.  Don't do part or most of
+  the work, do all of the work until the criteria for done are met.

-- [x] **3. Missing validation for vault names**: Vault names should be validated against a safe character set to prevent filesystem issues.
+- [ ] **5. Insufficient input validation**: Secret names allow potentially
+  dangerous patterns including dots that could enable path traversal attacks
+  (vault/secrets.go:70-93).
 
-- [ ] **4. No graceful handling of corrupted state**: If key files are corrupted or missing, the tool should provide clear error messages and recovery suggestions.
+- [ ] **6. Race conditions in file operations**: Multiple concurrent
+  operations could corrupt the vault state due to lack of file locking
+  mechanisms.
 
-### Core Functionality Bugs
+- [ ] **7. Insecure temporary file handling**: Temporary files containing
+  sensitive data may not be properly cleaned up or secured.
 
-- [x] **5. Multiple vaults using the same mnemonic will derive the same long-term keys**: Adding additional vaults with the same mnemonic should increment the index value used. The mnemonic should be double sha256 hashed and the hash value stored in the vault metadata along with the index value (starting at zero) and when additional vaults are added with the same mnemonic (as determined by hash) then the index value should be incremented. The README should be updated to document this behavior.
+## HIGH PRIORITY FUNCTIONALITY ISSUES
 
-- [x] **6. Directory structure inconsistency**: The README and test script reference different directory structures:
+- [ ] **8. Inappropriate Cobra usage printing**: Commands currently print
-  - Current code uses `unlock.d/` but documentation shows `unlock-keys.d/`
+  usage information for all errors, including internal program failures.
-  - Secret files use inconsistent naming (`secret.age` vs `value.age`)
+  Usage should only be printed when the user provides incorrect arguments or
+  invalid commands.
 
-- [x] **7. Symlink handling on non-Unix systems**: The symlink resolution in `resolveVaultSymlink()` may fail on Windows or in certain environments.
+- [ ] **9. Missing current unlock key initialization**: When creating
+  vaults, no default unlock key is selected, which can cause operations to
+  fail.
 
-- [ ] **8. Missing current unlock key initialization**: When creating vaults, no default unlock key is selected, which can cause operations to fail.
+- [ ] **10. Add confirmation prompts for destructive operations**:
+  Operations like `keys rm` and vault deletion should require confirmation.
 
-- [ ] **9. Race conditions in file operations**: Multiple concurrent operations could corrupt the vault state due to lack of file locking.
+- [ ] **11. No secret deletion command**: Missing `secret rm <secret-name>`
+  functionality.
 
-### Security Issues
+- [ ] **12. Missing vault deletion command**: No way to delete vaults that
+  are no longer needed.
 
-- [ ] **10. Insecure temporary file handling**: Temporary files containing sensitive data may not be properly cleaned up or secured.
+## MEDIUM PRIORITY ISSUES
 
-- [ ] **11. Missing secure memory clearing**: Sensitive data in memory (passphrases, keys) should be cleared after use.
+- [ ] **13. Inconsistent error messages**: Error messages need
+  standardization and should be user-friendly. Many errors currently expose
+  internal implementation details.
 
-- [x] **12. Weak default permissions**: Some files may be created with overly permissive default permissions.
+- [ ] **14. No graceful handling of corrupted state**: If key files are
+  corrupted or missing, the tool should provide clear error messages and
+  recovery suggestions.
 
-## Important (Should be fixed before release)
+- [ ] **15. No validation of GPG key existence**: Should verify the
+  specified GPG key exists before creating PGP unlock keys.
 
-### User Interface Improvements
+- [ ] **16. Better separation of concerns**: Some functions in CLI do too
+  much and should be split.
 
-- [ ] **13. Add confirmation prompts for destructive operations**: Operations like `keys rm` and vault deletion should require confirmation.
+- [ ] **17. Environment variable security**: Sensitive data read from
+  environment variables (SB_UNLOCK_PASSPHRASE, SB_SECRET_MNEMONIC) without
+  proper clearing. Document security implications.
 
-- [ ] **14. Improve progress indicators**: Long operations (key generation, encryption) should show progress.
+- [ ] **18. No secure memory allocation**: No use of mlock/munlock to
+  prevent sensitive data from being swapped to disk.
 
-- [x] **15. Better secret name validation**: Currently allows some characters that may cause issues, needs comprehensive validation.
+## LOWER PRIORITY ENHANCEMENTS
 
-- [ ] **16. Add `--help` examples**: Command help should include practical examples for each operation.
+- [ ] **19. Add `--help` examples**: Command help should include practical examples for each operation.
 
-### Command Implementation Gaps
+- [ ] **20. Add shell completion**: Bash/Zsh completion for commands and secret names.
 
-- [x] **17. `secret keys rm` not fully implemented**: Based on test output, this command may not be working correctly.
+- [ ] **21. Colored output**: Use colors to improve readability of lists and error messages.
 
-- [x] **18. `secret key select` not fully implemented**: Key selection functionality appears incomplete.
+- [ ] **22. Add `--quiet` flag**: Option to suppress non-essential output.
 
-- [ ] **19. Missing vault deletion command**: No way to delete vaults that are no longer needed.
+- [ ] **23. Smart secret name suggestions**: When a secret name is not found, suggest similar names.
 
-- [ ] **20. No secret deletion command**: Missing `secret rm <secret-name>` functionality.
+- [ ] **24. Audit logging**: Log all secret access and modifications for security auditing.
 
-- [ ] **21. Missing secret history/versioning**: No way to see previous versions of secrets or restore old values.
+- [ ] **25. Integration tests for hardware features**: Automated testing of Keychain and GPG functionality.
 
-### Configuration and Environment
+- [ ] **26. Consistent naming conventions**: Some variables and functions use inconsistent naming patterns.
 
-- [ ] **22. Global configuration not fully implemented**: The `configuration.json` file structure exists but isn't used consistently.
+- [ ] **27. Export/import functionality**: Add ability to export/import entire vaults, not just individual secrets.
 
-- [ ] **23. Missing environment variable validation**: Environment variables should be validated for format and security.
+- [ ] **28. Batch operations**: Add commands to process multiple secrets at once.
 
-- [ ] **24. No configuration file validation**: JSON configuration files should be validated against schemas.
+- [ ] **29. Search functionality**: Add ability to search secret names and potentially contents.
 
-### PGP Integration Issues
+- [ ] **30. Secret metadata**: Add support for descriptions, tags, or other metadata with secrets.
 
-- [x] **25. Incomplete PGP unlock key implementation**: The `--keyid` parameter processing may not be fully working.
+## COMPLETED ITEMS ✓
 
-- [ ] **26. Missing GPG agent integration**: Should detect and use existing GPG agent when available.
+- [x] **Missing secret history/versioning**: ✓ Implemented - versioning system exists with --version flag support
-
+- [x] **XDG compliance on Linux**: ✓ Implemented - uses os.UserConfigDir() which respects XDG_CONFIG_HOME
-- [ ] **27. No validation of GPG key existence**: Should verify the specified GPG key exists before creating PGP unlock keys.
+- [x] **Consistent interface implementation**: ✓ Implemented - Unlocker interface is well-defined and consistently implemented
-
-### Cross-Platform Issues
-
-- [ ] **28. macOS Keychain error handling**: Better error messages when biometric authentication fails or isn't available.
-
-- [ ] **29. Windows path handling**: File paths may not work correctly on Windows systems.
-
-- [ ] **30. XDG compliance on Linux**: Should respect `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and other XDG environment variables.
-
-## Trivial (Nice to have)
-

-
-- [ ] **35. Cache unlock key operations**: Avoid re-reading unlock key metadata on every operation.
-
-- [ ] **36. Optimize file I/O**: Batch file operations where possible to reduce syscalls.
-
-- [ ] **37. Add connection pooling for HSM operations**: For hardware security module operations.
-
-### User Experience Enhancements
-
-- [ ] **38. Add shell completion**: Bash/Zsh completion for commands and secret names.
-
-- [ ] **39. Colored output**: Use colors to improve readability of lists and error messages.
-
-- [ ] **40. Add `--quiet` flag**: Option to suppress non-essential output.
-
-- [ ] **41. Smart secret name suggestions**: When a secret name is not found, suggest similar names.
-
-### Additional Features
-
-- [ ] **42. Secret templates**: Predefined templates for common secret types (database URLs, API keys, etc.).
-
-- [ ] **43. Bulk operations**: Import/export multiple secrets at once.
-
-- [ ] **44. Secret sharing**: Secure sharing of secrets between vaults or users.
-
-- [ ] **45. Audit logging**: Log all secret access and modifications.
-
-- [ ] **46. Integration tests for hardware features**: Automated testing of Keychain and GPG functionality.

+// Version Support Test Suite Documentation
+//
+// This file contains core unit tests for version functionality:
+//
+// - TestGenerateVersionName: Tests version name generation with date and serial format
+// - TestGenerateVersionNameMaxSerial: Tests the 999 versions per day limit
+// - TestNewVersion: Tests secret version object creation
+// - TestSecretVersionSave: Tests saving a version with encryption
+// - TestSecretVersionLoadMetadata: Tests loading and decrypting version metadata
+// - TestSecretVersionGetValue: Tests retrieving and decrypting version values
+// - TestListVersions: Tests listing versions in reverse chronological order
+// - TestGetCurrentVersion: Tests retrieving the current version via symlink
+// - TestSetCurrentVersion: Tests updating the current version symlink
+// - TestVersionMetadataTimestamps: Tests timestamp pointer consistency
+//
+// Key Test Scenarios:
+// - Version Creation: First version gets notBefore = epoch + 1 second
+// - Subsequent versions update previous version's notAfter timestamp
+// - New version's notBefore equals previous version's notAfter
+// - Version names follow YYYYMMDD.NNN format
+// - Maximum 999 versions per day enforced
+//
+// Version Retrieval:
+// - Get current version via symlink
+// - Get specific version by name
+// - Empty version parameter returns current
+// - Non-existent versions return appropriate errors
+//
+// Data Integrity:
+// - Each version has independent encryption keys
+// - Metadata encryption protects version history
+// - Long-term key required for all operations
+// - Concurrent reads handled safely
