+## Overview
+
+ipuaro is a local AI agent for codebase operations built on Clean Architecture principles. It enables "infinite" context feeling through lazy loading and AST-based code understanding.
+
+### Core Concepts
+
+1. **Lazy Loading**: Load code on-demand via tools, not all at once
+2. **AST-Based Understanding**: Parse and index code structure for fast lookups
+3. **100% Local**: Ollama LLM + Redis storage, no cloud dependencies
+4. **Session Persistence**: Resume conversations across restarts
+5. **Tool-Based Interface**: LLM accesses code through 18 specialized tools
+
+## Clean Architecture
+
+The project follows Clean Architecture with strict dependency rules:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Dependency Rule**: Outer layers depend on inner layers, never the reverse.
+
+## Layer Details
+
+### Domain Layer (Core Business Logic)
+
+**Location**: `src/domain/`
+
+**Responsibilities**:
+- Define business entities and value objects
+- Declare service interfaces (ports)
+- No external dependencies (pure TypeScript)
+
+**Components**:
+
+```
+domain/
+├── entities/
+│   ├── Session.ts           # Session entity with history and stats
+│   └── Project.ts           # Project entity with metadata
+├── value-objects/
+│   ├── FileData.ts          # File content with hash and size
+│   ├── FileAST.ts           # Parsed AST structure
+│   ├── FileMeta.ts          # Complexity, dependencies, hub detection
+│   ├── ChatMessage.ts       # Message with role, content, tool calls
+│   ├── ToolCall.ts          # Tool invocation with parameters
+│   ├── ToolResult.ts        # Tool execution result
+│   └── UndoEntry.ts         # File change for undo stack
+├── services/
+│   ├── IStorage.ts          # Storage interface (port)
+│   ├── ILLMClient.ts        # LLM interface (port)
+│   ├── ITool.ts             # Tool interface (port)
+│   └── IIndexer.ts          # Indexer interface (port)
+└── constants/
+    └── index.ts             # Domain constants
+```
+
+**Key Design**:
+- Value objects are immutable
+- Entities have identity and lifecycle
+- Interfaces define contracts, not implementations
+
+### Application Layer (Use Cases)
+
+**Location**: `src/application/`
+
+**Responsibilities**:
+- Orchestrate domain logic
+- Implement use cases (application-specific business rules)
+- Define DTOs for data transfer
+- Coordinate between domain and infrastructure
+
+**Components**:
+
+```
+application/
+├── use-cases/
+│   ├── StartSession.ts      # Initialize or load session
+│   ├── HandleMessage.ts     # Main message orchestrator
+│   ├── IndexProject.ts      # Project indexing workflow
+│   ├── ExecuteTool.ts       # Tool execution with validation
+│   └── UndoChange.ts        # Revert file changes
+├── dtos/
+│   ├── SessionDto.ts        # Session data transfer object

+```
+
+**Key Use Cases**:
+
+1. **StartSession**: Creates new session or loads latest
+2. **HandleMessage**: Main flow (LLM → Tools → Response)
+3. **IndexProject**: Scan → Parse → Analyze → Store
+4. **UndoChange**: Restore file from undo stack
+
+### Infrastructure Layer (External Implementations)
+
+**Location**: `src/infrastructure/`
+
+**Responsibilities**:
+- Implement domain interfaces
+- Handle external systems (Redis, Ollama, filesystem)

+
+### Shared Module
+
+**Location**: `src/shared/`
+
+**Responsibilities**:
+- Cross-cutting concerns
+- Configuration management
+- Error handling

+```
+shared/
+├── types/
+│   └── index.ts             # Shared TypeScript types

+
+## Data Flow
+
+### 1. Startup Flow
+
+```
+CLI Entry (bin/ipuaro.js)
+    ↓
+Commander.js parses arguments
+    ↓
+Onboarding checks (Redis, Ollama, Model)
+    ↓
+Initialize dependencies:
+    - RedisClient connects
+    - RedisStorage initialized
+    - OllamaClient created
+    - ToolRegistry with 18 tools
+    ↓
+StartSession use case:
+    - Load latest session or create new
+    - Initialize ContextManager
+    ↓
+Launch TUI (App.tsx)
+    - Render StatusBar, Chat, Input
+    - Set up hotkeys
+```
+
+### 2. Message Flow
+
+```
+User types message in Input.tsx
+    ↓
+useSession.handleMessage()
+    ↓
+HandleMessage use case:
+    1. Add user message to history
+    2. Build context (system prompt + structure + AST)
+    3. Send to OllamaClient.chat()
+    4. Parse tool calls from response
+    5. For each tool call:
+        - If requiresConfirmation: show ConfirmDialog
+        - Execute tool via ToolRegistry
+        - Collect results
+    6. If tool results: goto step 3 (continue loop)
+    7. Add assistant response to history
+    8. Update session in Redis
+    ↓
+Display response in Chat.tsx
+```
+
+### 3. Edit Flow
+
+```
+LLM calls edit_lines tool
+    ↓
+ToolRegistry.execute()
+    ↓
+EditLinesTool.execute():
+    1. Validate path (PathValidator)
+    2. Check hash conflict
+    3. Build diff
+    ↓
+ConfirmDialog shows diff
+    ↓
+User chooses:
+    - Apply: Continue
+    - Cancel: Return error to LLM
+    - Edit: Manual edit (future)
+    ↓
+If Apply:
+    1. Create UndoEntry
+    2. Push to undo stack (Redis list)
+    3. Write to filesystem
+    4. Update RedisStorage (lines, hash, AST, meta)
+    ↓
+Return success to LLM
+```
+
+### 4. Indexing Flow
+
+```
+FileScanner.scan()
+    - Recursively walk directory
+    - Filter via .gitignore + ignore patterns
+    - Detect binary files (skip)
+    ↓
+For each file:
+    ASTParser.parse()
+        - tree-sitter parse
+        - Extract imports, exports, functions, classes
+        ↓
+    MetaAnalyzer.analyze()
+        - Calculate complexity (LOC, nesting, cyclomatic)
+        - Resolve dependencies (imports → file paths)
+        - Detect hubs (>5 dependents)
+        ↓
+    RedisStorage.setFile(), .setAST(), .setMeta()
+    ↓
+IndexBuilder.buildSymbolIndex()
+    - Map symbol names → locations
+    ↓
+IndexBuilder.buildDepsGraph()
+    - Build bidirectional import graph
+    ↓
+Store indexes in Redis
+    ↓
+Watchdog.start()
+    - Watch for file changes
+    - On change: Re-parse and update indexes
+```
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+### 1. Why Redis?
+
+**Pros**:
+- Fast in-memory access for frequent reads
+- AOF persistence (append-only file) for durability
+- Native support for hashes, lists, sets
+- Simple key-value model fits our needs
+- Excellent for session data
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- SQLite: Slower, overkill for our use case
+- JSON files: No concurrent access, slow for large data
+- PostgreSQL: Too heavy, we don't need relational features
+
+### 2. Why tree-sitter?
+
+**Pros**:
+- Incremental parsing (fast re-parsing)
+- Error-tolerant (works with syntax errors)
+- Multi-language support
+- Used by GitHub, Neovim, Atom
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- TypeScript Compiler API: TS-only, not error-tolerant
+- Babel: JS-focused, heavy dependencies
+- Regex: Fragile, inaccurate
+
+### 3. Why Ollama?
+
+**Pros**:
+- 100% local, no API keys
+- Easy installation (brew install ollama)
+- Good model selection (qwen2.5-coder, deepseek-coder)
+- Tool calling support
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- OpenAI: Costs money, sends code to cloud
+- Anthropic Claude: Same concerns as OpenAI
+- llama.cpp: Lower level, requires more setup
+
+Planned: Support for OpenAI/Anthropic in v1.2.0 as optional providers.
+
+### 4. Why XML for Tool Calls?
+
+**Pros**:
+- LLMs trained on XML (very common format)
+- Self-describing (parameter names in tags)
+- Easy to parse with regex
+- More reliable than JSON for smaller models
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- JSON: Smaller models struggle with exact JSON syntax
+- Function calling API: Not all models support it
+
+### 5. Why Clean Architecture?
+
+**Pros**:
+- Testability (domain has no external dependencies)
+- Flexibility (easy to swap Redis for SQLite)
+- Maintainability (clear separation of concerns)
+- Scalability (layers can evolve independently)
+
+**Cost**: More files and indirection, but worth it for long-term maintenance.
+
+### 6. Why Lazy Loading Instead of RAG?
+
+**RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)**:
+- Pre-computes embeddings
+- Searches embeddings for relevant chunks
+- Adds chunks to context
+
+**Lazy Loading (our approach)**:
+- Agent requests specific code via tools
+- More precise control over what's loaded
+- Simpler implementation (no embeddings)
+- Works with any LLM (no embedding model needed)
+
+**Trade-off**: RAG might be better for semantic search ("find error handling code"), but tool-based approach gives agent explicit control.

+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### 1. Indexing Performance
+
+**Problem**: Large projects (10k+ files) take time to index.
+
+**Optimizations**:
+- Incremental parsing with tree-sitter (only changed files)
+- Parallel parsing (planned for v1.1.0)
+- Ignore patterns (.gitignore, node_modules, dist)
+- Skip binary files early
+
+**Current**: ~1000 files/second on M1 Mac
+
+### 2. Memory Usage
+
+**Problem**: Entire AST in memory could be 100s of MB.
+
+**Optimizations**:
+- Store ASTs in Redis (out of Node.js heap)
+- Load ASTs on-demand from Redis
+- Lazy-load file content (not stored in session)
+
+**Current**: ~200MB for 5000 files indexed
+
+### 3. Context Window Management
+
+**Problem**: 128k token context window fills up.
+
+**Optimizations**:
+- Auto-compression at 80% usage
+- LLM summarizes old messages
+- Remove tool results older than 5 messages
+- Only load structure + metadata initially (~10k tokens)
+
+### 4. Redis Performance
+
+**Problem**: Redis is single-threaded.
+
+**Optimizations**:
+- Pipeline commands where possible
+- Use hashes for related data (fewer keys)
+- AOF every second (not every command)
+- Keep undo stack limited (10 entries)
+
+**Current**: <1ms latency for most operations
+
+### 5. Tool Execution
+
+**Problem**: Tool execution could block LLM.
+
+**Current**: Synchronous execution (simpler)
+
+**Future**: Async tool execution with progress callbacks (v1.1.0)
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+### v1.1.0 - Performance
+- Parallel AST parsing
+- Incremental indexing (only changed files)
+- Response caching
+- Stream LLM responses
+
+### v1.2.0 - Features
+- Multiple file edits in one operation

+- OpenAI/Anthropic provider support
+
+### v1.3.0 - Extensibility
