aitbc1 b419bfa2c8 feat: add repository memory layer with architecture, bug patterns, debugging playbook, and agent notes
This establishes a structured knowledge base for autonomous agents to avoid
rediscovering solved problems and to coordinate architecture decisions.

Debugging Playbook

Structured checklists for diagnosing common subsystem failures.

CLI Command Fails with ImportError

  1. Confirm service module exists: ls apps/coordinator-api/src/app/services/
  2. Check services/__init__.py exists.
  3. Verify command module adds apps/coordinator-api/src to sys.path.
  4. Test import manually:
    python3 -c "import sys; sys.path.insert(0, 'apps/coordinator-api/src'); from app.services.trading_surveillance import start_surveillance"
    
  5. If missing dependencies, install coordinator-api requirements.

Blockchain Node Not Starting

  1. Check virtualenv: source apps/blockchain-node/.venv/bin/activate
  2. Verify database file exists: apps/blockchain-node/data/chain.db
    • If missing, run genesis generation: python scripts/make_genesis.py
  3. Check .env configuration (ports, keys).
  4. Test RPC health: curl http://localhost:8026/health
  5. Review logs: tail -f apps/blockchain-node/logs/*.log (if configured)

Package Installation Fails (pip)

  1. Ensure README.md exists in package root.
  2. Check pyproject.toml for required fields: name, version, description.
  3. Install dependencies first: pip install -r requirements.txt if present.
  4. Try editable install: pip install -e . with verbose: pip install -v -e .

Git Push Permission Denied

  1. Verify SSH key added to Gitea account.
  2. Confirm remote URL is SSH, not HTTPS.
  3. Test connection: ssh -T git@gitea.bubuit.net.
  4. Ensure token has push permission if using HTTPS.

CI Pipeline Not Running

  1. Check .github/workflows/ exists and YAML syntax is valid.
  2. Confirm branch protection allows CI.
  3. Check Gitea Actions enabled (repository settings).
  4. Ensure Python version matrix includes active versions (3.11, 3.12, 3.13).

Tests Fail with ImportError in aitbc-core

  1. Confirm package installed: pip list | grep aitbc-core.
  2. If not installed: pip install -e ./packages/py/aitbc-core.
  3. Ensure tests can import aitbc.logging: python3 -c "from aitbc.logging import get_logger".

PR Cannot Be Merged (stuck)

  1. Check if all required approvals present.
  2. Verify CI status is success on the PR head commit.
  3. Ensure no merge conflicts (Gitea shows mergeable: true).
  4. If outdated, rebase onto latest main and push.
