## Architecture
### Core Modules
- `src/session-manager.ts` — Agent definitions, execution order, parallel groups
- `src/ai/claude-executor.ts` — Claude Agent SDK integration with retry logic and git checkpoints
- `src/session-manager.ts` — Agent definitions (`AGENTS` record). Agent types in `src/types/agents.ts`
- `src/config-parser.ts` — YAML config parsing with JSON Schema validation
- `src/error-handling.ts` — Categorized error types (PentestError, ConfigError, NetworkError) with retry logic
- `src/tool-checker.ts` — Validates external security tool availability before execution
- `src/queue-validation.ts` — Deliverable validation and agent prerequisites
- `src/ai/claude-executor.ts` — Claude Agent SDK integration with retry logic
- `src/services/` — Business logic layer (Temporal-agnostic). Activities delegate here. Key: `agent-execution.ts`, `error-handling.ts`, `container.ts`
- `src/types/` — Consolidated types: `Result<T,E>`, `ErrorCode`, `AgentName`, `ActivityLogger`, etc.
- `src/utils/` — Shared utilities (file I/O, formatting, concurrency)
### Temporal Orchestration
Durable workflow orchestration with crash recovery, queryable progress, intelligent retry, and parallel execution (5 concurrent agents in vuln/exploit phases).
- `src/temporal/workflows.ts` — Main workflow (`pentestPipelineWorkflow`)
- `src/temporal/activities.ts`Activity implementations with heartbeats
- `src/temporal/activities.ts`Thin wrappers — heartbeat loop, error classification, container lifecycle. Business logic delegated to `src/services/`
- `src/temporal/activity-logger.ts``TemporalActivityLogger` implementation of `ActivityLogger` interface
- `src/temporal/summary-mapper.ts` — Maps `PipelineSummary` to `WorkflowSummary`
- `src/temporal/worker.ts` — Worker entry point
- `src/temporal/client.ts` — CLI client for starting workflows
- `src/temporal/shared.ts` — Types, interfaces, query definitions

### Supporting Systems
- **Configuration** — YAML configs in `configs/` with JSON Schema validation (`config-schema.json`). Supports auth settings, MFA/TOTP, and per-app testing parameters
- **Prompts** — Per-phase templates in `prompts/` with variable substitution (`{{TARGET_URL}}`, `{{CONFIG_CONTEXT}}`). Shared partials in `prompts/shared/` via `prompt-manager.ts`
- **Prompts** — Per-phase templates in `prompts/` with variable substitution (`{{TARGET_URL}}`, `{{CONFIG_CONTEXT}}`). Shared partials in `prompts/shared/` via `src/services/prompt-manager.ts`
- **SDK Integration** — Uses `@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk` with `maxTurns: 10_000` and `bypassPermissions` mode. Playwright MCP for browser automation, TOTP generation via MCP tool. Login flow template at `prompts/shared/login-instructions.txt` supports form, SSO, API, and basic auth
- **Audit System** — Crash-safe append-only logging in `audit-logs/{hostname}_{sessionId}/`. Tracks session metrics, per-agent logs, prompts, and deliverables
- **Audit System** — Crash-safe append-only logging in `audit-logs/{hostname}_{sessionId}/`. Tracks session metrics, per-agent logs, prompts, and deliverables. WorkflowLogger (`audit/workflow-logger.ts`) provides unified human-readable per-workflow logs, backed by LogStream (`audit/log-stream.ts`) shared stream primitive
- **Deliverables** — Saved to `deliverables/` in the target repo via the `save_deliverable` MCP tool
- **Workspaces & Resume** — Named workspaces via `WORKSPACE=<name>` or auto-named from URL+timestamp. Resume passes `--workspace` to the Temporal client (`src/temporal/client.ts`), which loads `session.json` to detect completed agents. `loadResumeState()` in `src/temporal/activities.ts` validates deliverable existence, restores git checkpoints, and cleans up incomplete deliverables. Workspace listing via `src/temporal/workspaces.ts`
## Development Notes
### Adding a New Agent
1. Define agent in `src/session-manager.ts` (add to `AGENT_QUEUE` and parallel group)
1. Define agent in `src/session-manager.ts` (add to `AGENTS` record). `ALL_AGENTS`/`AgentName` types live in `src/types/agents.ts`
2. Create prompt template in `prompts/` (e.g., `vuln-newtype.txt`)
3. Add activity function in `src/temporal/activities.ts`
3. Two-layer pattern: add a thin activity wrapper in `src/temporal/activities.ts` (heartbeat + error classification). `AgentExecutionService` in `src/services/agent-execution.ts` handles the agent lifecycle automatically via the `AGENTS` registry
4. Register activity in `src/temporal/workflows.ts` within the appropriate phase
### Modifying Prompts
- Variable substitution: `{{TARGET_URL}}`, `{{CONFIG_CONTEXT}}`, `{{LOGIN_INSTRUCTIONS}}`
- Shared partials in `prompts/shared/` included via `prompt-manager.ts`
- Shared partials in `prompts/shared/` included via `src/services/prompt-manager.ts`
- Test with `PIPELINE_TESTING=true` for fast iteration
### Key Design Patterns
- **Configuration-Driven** — YAML configs with JSON Schema validation
- **Progressive Analysis** — Each phase builds on previous results
- **SDK-First** — Claude Agent SDK handles autonomous analysis
- **Modular Error Handling** — Categorized errors with automatic retry (3 attempts per agent)
- **Modular Error Handling** — `ErrorCode` enum, `Result<T,E>` for explicit error propagation, automatic retry (3 attempts per agent)
- **Services Boundary** — Activities are thin Temporal wrappers; `src/services/` owns business logic, accepts `ActivityLogger`, returns `Result<T,E>`. No Temporal imports in services
- **DI Container** — Per-workflow in `src/services/container.ts`. `AuditSession` excluded (parallel safety)

- No comment is better than a bad comment

- `// 1. Step` — numbered steps for sequential operations

- `// NOTE:` / `// WARNING:` / `// IMPORTANT:` — gotchas and constraints
