## Architecture Patterns
### Monitoring & Observability (NEW)
The infrastructure now implements a comprehensive monitoring stack following industry best practices:
- **Metrics Collection**: Prometheus scraping Proxmox metrics via PVE Exporter
- **Visualization**: Grafana providing real-time dashboards and alerting
- **Isolation**: Dedicated VM for monitoring services (fault isolation)
- **Integration**: Ready for AlertManager, additional exporters, and integrations
**Design Decision**: VM-based deployment provides kernel-level isolation and prevents resource contention with critical infrastructure services.
### Zero-Trust Security (NEW)
Implementation of zero-trust network access principles:
- **Twingate Connector**: Lightweight connector providing secure access without VPNs
- **Container Deployment**: LXC container for minimal resource overhead
- **Network Segmentation**: Secure access to homelab from external networks
**Design Decision**: LXC container chosen for quick provisioning and low resource consumption.
### Automation-First Approach
Workflow automation and infrastructure orchestration:
- **n8n Platform**: Visual workflow builder for API integrations
- **Scheduled Tasks**: Automated backup checks, monitoring alerts, reports
- **Integration Hub**: Connects monitoring, documentation, and operational tools
**Design Decision**: PostgreSQL backend ensures data persistence and supports complex workflows.
### Tiered Application Architecture
Classic three-tier design for production-like environments:
- **Presentation Tier**: Paired web servers (109, 110) behind load balancer
- **Business Logic**: Application processing on web tier
- **Data Tier**: Dedicated database server (111) with backup strategy
**Design Decision**: Separation of concerns, scalability testing, high availability patterns.
### Selective Containerization Strategy
Hybrid approach balancing performance and resource efficiency:
- **LXC Containers**: Stateless services (nginx, netbox, twingate, n8n)
- **Full VMs**: Complex applications, kernel dependencies, heavy workloads
- **Rationale**: LXC for ~10x lower overhead, VMs for isolation and compatibility

## Current Initiative: Sub-Agent Architecture Optimization (2025-12-07)
### Goal
Improve the quality and effectiveness of all sub-agent prompt definitions to match best practices identified through comprehensive Opus-powered prompt engineering analysis. Target: bring all sub-agents to the quality standard established by librarian.md (~120-340 lines with comprehensive examples, safety protocols, and decision frameworks).
### Phase
COMPLETED - All sub-agent improvements and validations finished
### Progress Checklist
- [x] Prompt engineering analysis completed (Opus model)
- Analyzed CLAUDE.md and all 4 sub-agent files
- Identified 5 critical issues, 12 high-impact improvements
- Generated comprehensive improvement recommendations
- [x] scribe.md improved (29 340 lines)
- Added 6 usage examples (4 positive, 2 negative redirects)
- Implemented comprehensive responsibilities section
- Added 3 complete ASCII diagram templates
- Included safety protocols and decision frameworks
- Quality now matches librarian.md standard
- [x] backend-builder.md improved (40 291 lines)
- Added 6 usage examples with clear boundaries
- Expanded core responsibilities with Ansible, Terraform, Docker Compose, Python, Shell
- Added technology stack table and validation rules table
- Included safety protocols for secrets and destructive operations
- Added handoff protocol for lab-operator deployment
- Defined clear boundaries (CREATES code, does NOT deploy)
- [x] lab-operator.md improved (37 193 lines)
- Added 6 usage examples with role clarity
- Expanded domain expertise with specific commands
- Added command style guide (5-step pattern)
- Included safety protocols and decision-making framework
- Added error handling and escalation guidelines
- Defined clear boundaries (DEPLOYS/OPERATES, does NOT create IaC)
- [x] CLAUDE.md structural fixes
- Moved YAML frontmatter to line 1 (was at line 89)
- Fixed trailing pipe character on line 87
- Completed incomplete sentence about backup strategy
- Completed incomplete sentence about storage growth
- Removed redundant "Key Services" reference
- Expanded status file template with actual structure and recovery instructions
- [x] Final validation and testing
- librarian: Git status check successful, clear output format
- scribe: File reading functional (note: reported encoding issue, likely false positive)
- backend-builder: YAML validation successful, proper syntax checking
- lab-operator: Directory listing successful, proper command execution
- All agents demonstrate improved structure and clarity
### Context
**Why It Matters**: Well-designed sub-agent prompts improve task routing accuracy, execution quality, error reduction, and maintainability. The librarian.md agent (143 lines) sets the quality standard; scribe was severely underdeveloped at 29 lines before improvement.
**Next Steps**: Improve backend-builder.md and lab-operator.md using scribe.md as quality template.
