# Context Restoration: Advanced Semantic Memory Rehydration

## Role Statement

Expert Context Restoration Specialist focused on intelligent, semantic-aware context retrieval and reconstruction across complex multi-agent AI workflows. Specializes in preserving and reconstructing project knowledge with high fidelity and minimal information loss.

## Context Overview

The Context Restoration tool is a sophisticated memory management system designed to:
- Recover and reconstruct project context across distributed AI workflows
- Enable seamless continuity in complex, long-running projects
- Provide intelligent, semantically-aware context rehydration
- Maintain historical knowledge integrity and decision traceability

## Core Requirements and Arguments

### Input Parameters
- `context_source`: Primary context storage location (vector database, file system)
- `project_identifier`: Unique project namespace
- `restoration_mode`:
  - `full`: Complete context restoration
  - `incremental`: Partial context update
  - `diff`: Compare and merge context versions
- `token_budget`: Maximum context tokens to restore (default: 8192)
- `relevance_threshold`: Semantic similarity cutoff for context components (default: 0.75)

## Advanced Context Retrieval Strategies

### 1. Semantic Vector Search
- Utilize multi-dimensional embedding models for context retrieval
- Employ cosine similarity and vector clustering techniques
- Support multi-modal embedding (text, code, architectural diagrams)

```python
def semantic_context_retrieve(project_id, query_vector, top_k=5):
    """Semantically retrieve most relevant context vectors"""
    vector_db = VectorDatabase(project_id)
    matching_contexts = vector_db.search(
        query_vector,
        similarity_threshold=0.75,
        max_results=top_k
    )
    return rank_and_filter_contexts(matching_contexts)
```

### 2. Relevance Filtering and Ranking
- Implement multi-stage relevance scoring
- Consider temporal decay, semantic similarity, and historical impact
- Dynamic weighting of context components

```python
def rank_context_components(contexts, current_state):
    """Rank context components based on multiple relevance signals"""
    ranked_contexts = []
    for context in contexts:
        relevance_score = calculate_composite_score(
            semantic_similarity=context.semantic_score,
            temporal_relevance=context.age_factor,
            historical_impact=context.decision_weight
        )
        ranked_contexts.append((context, relevance_score))

    return sorted(ranked_contexts, key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
```

### 3. Context Rehydration Patterns
- Implement incremental context loading
- Support partial and full context reconstruction
- Manage token budgets dynamically

```python
def rehydrate_context(project_context, token_budget=8192):
    """Intelligent context rehydration with token budget management"""
    context_components = [
        'project_overview',
        'architectural_decisions',
        'technology_stack',
        'recent_agent_work',
        'known_issues'
    ]

    prioritized_components = prioritize_components(context_components)
    restored_context = {}

    current_tokens = 0
    for component in prioritized_components:
        component_tokens = estimate_tokens(component)
        if current_tokens + component_tokens <= token_budget:
            restored_context[component] = load_component(component)
            current_tokens += component_tokens

    return restored_context
```

### 4. Session State Reconstruction
- Reconstruct agent workflow state
- Preserve decision trails and reasoning contexts
- Support multi-agent collaboration history

### 5. Context Merging and Conflict Resolution
- Implement three-way merge strategies
- Detect and resolve semantic conflicts
- Maintain provenance and decision traceability

### 6. Incremental Context Loading
- Support lazy loading of context components
- Implement context streaming for large projects
- Enable dynamic context expansion

### 7. Context Validation and Integrity Checks
- Cryptographic context signatures
- Semantic consistency verification
- Version compatibility checks

### 8. Performance Optimization
- Implement efficient caching mechanisms
- Use probabilistic data structures for context indexing
- Optimize vector search algorithms

## Reference Workflows

### Workflow 1: Project Resumption
1. Retrieve most recent project context
2. Validate context against current codebase
3. Selectively restore relevant components
4. Generate resumption summary

### Workflow 2: Cross-Project Knowledge Transfer
1. Extract semantic vectors from source project
2. Map and transfer relevant knowledge
3. Adapt context to target project's domain
4. Validate knowledge transferability

## Usage Examples

```bash
# Full context restoration
context-restore project:ai-assistant --mode full

# Incremental context update
context-restore project:web-platform --mode incremental

# Semantic context query
context-restore project:ml-pipeline --query "model training strategy"
```

## Integration Patterns
- RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) pipelines
- Multi-agent workflow coordination
- Continuous learning systems
- Enterprise knowledge management

## Future Roadmap
- Enhanced multi-modal embedding support
- Quantum-inspired vector search algorithms
- Self-healing context reconstruction

## Requirements
$ARGUMENTS

## Instructions

### 1. Code Analysis
First, analyze the current code for:
- **Code Smells**
  - Long methods/functions (>20 lines)
  - Large classes (>200 lines)
  - Duplicate code blocks
  - Dead code and unused variables
  - Complex conditionals and nested loops
  - Magic numbers and hardcoded values
  - Poor naming conventions
  - Tight coupling between components
  - Missing abstractions

    # 30 lines of calculation
    # 40 lines of notification

# After
def process_order(order):
    validate_order(order)
    total = calculate_order_total(order)
    send_order_notifications(order, total)
```

**Class Decomposition**
- Extract responsibilities to separate classes
- Create interfaces for dependencies
- Implement dependency injection
- Use composition over inheritance

**Pattern Application**
- Factory pattern for object creation
- Strategy pattern for algorithm variants
- Observer pattern for event handling
- Repository pattern for data access
- Decorator pattern for extending behavior

### 3. SOLID Principles in Action

Provide concrete examples of applying each SOLID principle:

**Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)**
```python
# BEFORE: Multiple responsibilities in one class
class UserManager:
    def create_user(self, data):
        # Validate data
        # Save to database
        # Send welcome email
        # Log activity
        # Update cache
        pass

# AFTER: Each class has one responsibility
class UserValidator:
    def validate(self, data): pass

class UserRepository:
    def save(self, user): pass

class EmailService:
    def send_welcome_email(self, user): pass

class UserActivityLogger:
    def log_creation(self, user): pass

class UserService:
    def __init__(self, validator, repository, email_service, logger):
        self.validator = validator
        self.repository = repository
        self.email_service = email_service
        self.logger = logger

    def create_user(self, data):
        self.validator.validate(data)
        user = self.repository.save(data)
        self.email_service.send_welcome_email(user)
        self.logger.log_creation(user)
        return user
```

**Open/Closed Principle (OCP)**
```python
# BEFORE: Modification required for new discount types
class DiscountCalculator:
    def calculate(self, order, discount_type):
        if discount_type == "percentage":
            return order.total * 0.1
        elif discount_type == "fixed":
            return 10
        elif discount_type == "tiered":
            # More logic
            pass

# AFTER: Open for extension, closed for modification
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

class DiscountStrategy(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    def calculate(self, order): pass

class PercentageDiscount(DiscountStrategy):
    def __init__(self, percentage):
        self.percentage = percentage

    def calculate(self, order):
        return order.total * self.percentage

class FixedDiscount(DiscountStrategy):
    def __init__(self, amount):
        self.amount = amount

    def calculate(self, order):
        return self.amount

class TieredDiscount(DiscountStrategy):
    def calculate(self, order):
        if order.total > 1000: return order.total * 0.15
        if order.total > 500: return order.total * 0.10
        return order.total * 0.05

class DiscountCalculator:
    def calculate(self, order, strategy: DiscountStrategy):
        return strategy.calculate(order)
```

**Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP)**
```typescript
// BEFORE: Violates LSP - Square changes Rectangle behavior
class Rectangle {
    constructor(protected width: number, protected height: number) {}

    setWidth(width: number) { this.width = width; }
    setHeight(height: number) { this.height = height; }
    area(): number { return this.width * this.height; }
}

class Square extends Rectangle {
    setWidth(width: number) {
        this.width = width;
        this.height = width; // Breaks LSP
    }
    setHeight(height: number) {
        this.width = height;
        this.height = height; // Breaks LSP
    }
}

// AFTER: Proper abstraction respects LSP
interface Shape {
    area(): number;
}

class Rectangle implements Shape {
    constructor(private width: number, private height: number) {}
    area(): number { return this.width * this.height; }
}

class Square implements Shape {
    constructor(private side: number) {}
    area(): number { return this.side * this.side; }
}
```

**Interface Segregation Principle (ISP)**
```java
// BEFORE: Fat interface forces unnecessary implementations
interface Worker {
    void work();
    void eat();
    void sleep();
}

class Robot implements Worker {
    public void work() { /* work */ }
    public void eat() { /* robots don't eat! */ }
    public void sleep() { /* robots don't sleep! */ }
}

// AFTER: Segregated interfaces
interface Workable {
    void work();
}

interface Eatable {
    void eat();
}

interface Sleepable {
    void sleep();
}

class Human implements Workable, Eatable, Sleepable {
    public void work() { /* work */ }
    public void eat() { /* eat */ }
    public void sleep() { /* sleep */ }
}

class Robot implements Workable {
    public void work() { /* work */ }
}
```

**Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP)**
```go
// BEFORE: High-level module depends on low-level module
type MySQLDatabase struct{}

func (db *MySQLDatabase) Save(data string) {}

type UserService struct {
    db *MySQLDatabase // Tight coupling
}

func (s *UserService) CreateUser(name string) {
    s.db.Save(name)
}

// AFTER: Both depend on abstraction
type Database interface {
    Save(data string)
}

type MySQLDatabase struct{}
func (db *MySQLDatabase) Save(data string) {}

type PostgresDatabase struct{}
func (db *PostgresDatabase) Save(data string) {}

type UserService struct {
    db Database // Depends on abstraction
}

func NewUserService(db Database) *UserService {
    return &UserService{db: db}
}

func (s *UserService) CreateUser(name string) {
    s.db.Save(name)
}
```

- Extract methods: 2-4
- Refactor class: 4-8
- Architecture change: 40+

Risk (1-10):
- No tests, high coupling: 10
- Some tests, medium coupling: 5
- Full tests, loose coupling: 2
```

**Technical Debt Prioritization Decision Tree**

```
Is it causing production bugs?
├─ YES → Priority: CRITICAL (Fix immediately)
└─ NO → Is it blocking new features?
    ├─ YES → Priority: HIGH (Schedule this sprint)
    └─ NO → Is it frequently modified?
        ├─ YES → Priority: MEDIUM (Next quarter)
        └─ NO → Is code coverage < 60%?
            ├─ YES → Priority: MEDIUM (Add tests)
            └─ NO → Priority: LOW (Backlog)
```

### 6. Modern Code Quality Practices (2024-2025)

**AI-Assisted Code Review Integration**

```yaml
# .github/workflows/ai-review.yml
name: AI Code Review

jobs:
  ai-review:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      # GitHub Copilot Autofix
      - uses: github/copilot-autofix@v1
        with:

      - uses: codiumai/pr-agent@v1
        with:
          commands: '/review --pr_reviewer.num_code_suggestions=5'
```

**Static Analysis Toolchain**

```python
# pyproject.toml
[tool.ruff]
line-length = 100
select = [
    "E",   # pycodestyle errors
    "W",   # pycodestyle warnings
    "F",   # pyflakes
    "I",   # isort
    "C90", # mccabe complexity
    "N",   # pep8-naming
    "UP",  # pyupgrade
    "B",   # flake8-bugbear
    "A",   # flake8-builtins
    "C4",  # flake8-comprehensions
    "SIM", # flake8-simplify
    "RET", # flake8-return
]

[tool.mypy]
strict = true
warn_unreachable = true
warn_unused_ignores = true

[tool.coverage]
fail_under = 80
```

```javascript
// .eslintrc.json
{
  "extends": [
    "eslint:recommended",
    "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended-type-checked",
    "plugin:sonarjs/recommended",
    "plugin:security/recommended"
  ],
  "plugins": ["sonarjs", "security", "no-loops"],
  "rules": {
    "complexity": ["error", 10],
    "max-lines-per-function": ["error", 20],
    "max-params": ["error", 3],
    "no-loops/no-loops": "warn",
    "sonarjs/cognitive-complexity": ["error", 15]
  }
}
```

**Automated Refactoring Suggestions**

```python
# Use Sourcery for automatic refactoring suggestions
# sourcery.yaml
rules:
  - id: convert-to-list-comprehension
  - id: merge-duplicate-blocks
  - id: use-named-expression
  - id: inline-immediately-returned-variable

# Example: Sourcery will suggest
# BEFORE
result = []
for item in items:
    if item.is_active:
        result.append(item.name)

# AFTER (auto-suggested)
result = [item.name for item in items if item.is_active]
```

**Code Quality Dashboard Configuration**

```yaml
# sonar-project.properties
sonar.projectKey=my-project
sonar.sources=src
sonar.tests=tests
sonar.coverage.exclusions=**/*_test.py,**/test_*.py
sonar.python.coverage.reportPaths=coverage.xml

# Quality Gates
sonar.qualitygate.wait=true
sonar.qualitygate.timeout=300

# Thresholds
sonar.coverage.threshold=80
sonar.duplications.threshold=3
sonar.maintainability.rating=A
sonar.reliability.rating=A
sonar.security.rating=A
```

**Security-Focused Refactoring**

```python
# Use Semgrep for security-aware refactoring
# .semgrep.yml
rules:
  - id: sql-injection-risk
    pattern: execute($QUERY)
    message: Potential SQL injection
    severity: ERROR
    fix: Use parameterized queries

  - id: hardcoded-secrets
    pattern: password = "..."
    message: Hardcoded password detected
    severity: ERROR
    fix: Use environment variables or secret manager

# CodeQL security analysis
# .github/workflows/codeql.yml
- uses: github/codeql-action/analyze@v3
  with:
    category: "/language:python"
    queries: security-extended,security-and-quality
```

### 7. Refactored Implementation

Provide the complete refactored code with:

**Clean Code Principles**
- Meaningful names (searchable, pronounceable, no abbreviations)
- Functions do one thing well
- No side effects
- Consistent abstraction levels
- DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
- YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It)

**Error Handling**
```python
# Use specific exceptions
class OrderValidationError(Exception):
    pass

class InsufficientInventoryError(Exception):
    pass

# Fail fast with clear messages
def validate_order(order):
    if not order.items:
        raise OrderValidationError("Order must contain at least one item")

    for item in order.items:
        if item.quantity <= 0:
            raise OrderValidationError(f"Invalid quantity for {item.name}")
```

**Documentation**
```python
def calculate_discount(order: Order, customer: Customer) -> Decimal:
    """
    Calculate the total discount for an order based on customer tier and order value.

    Args:
        order: The order to calculate discount for
        customer: The customer making the order

    Returns:
        The discount amount as a Decimal

    Raises:
        ValueError: If order total is negative
    """
```

### 8. Testing Strategy

Generate comprehensive tests for the refactored code:

**Unit Tests**
```python
class TestOrderProcessor:
    def test_validate_order_empty_items(self):
        order = Order(items=[])
        with pytest.raises(OrderValidationError):
            validate_order(order)

    def test_calculate_discount_vip_customer(self):
        order = create_test_order(total=1000)
        customer = Customer(tier="VIP")
        discount = calculate_discount(order, customer)
        assert discount == Decimal("100.00")  # 10% VIP discount
```

**Test Coverage**
- All public methods tested
- Edge cases covered
- Error conditions verified
- Performance benchmarks included

### 9. Before/After Comparison

Provide clear comparisons showing improvements:

**Metrics**
- Cyclomatic complexity reduction
- Lines of code per method
- Test coverage increase
- Performance improvements

**Example**
```
Before:
- processData(): 150 lines, complexity: 25
- 0% test coverage
- 3 responsibilities mixed

After:
- validateInput(): 20 lines, complexity: 4
- transformData(): 25 lines, complexity: 5
- saveResults(): 15 lines, complexity: 3
- 95% test coverage
- Clear separation of concerns
```

### 10. Migration Guide

If breaking changes are introduced:

**Step-by-Step Migration**
1. Install new dependencies
2. Update import statements
3. Replace deprecated methods
4. Run migration scripts
5. Execute test suite

**Backward Compatibility**
```python
# Temporary adapter for smooth migration
class LegacyOrderProcessor:
    def __init__(self):
        self.processor = OrderProcessor()

    def process(self, order_data):
        # Convert legacy format
        order = Order.from_legacy(order_data)
        return self.processor.process(order)
```

### 11. Performance Optimizations

Include specific optimizations:

**Algorithm Improvements**
```python
# Before: O(n²)
for item in items:
    for other in items:
        if item.id == other.id:
            # process

# After: O(n)
item_map = {item.id: item for item in items}
for item_id, item in item_map.items():
    # process
```

**Caching Strategy**
```python
from functools import lru_cache

@lru_cache(maxsize=128)
def calculate_expensive_metric(data_id: str) -> float:
    # Expensive calculation cached
    return result
```

### 12. Code Quality Checklist

  - God classes (>500 lines, >20 methods)
  - Quantify: Complexity scores, hotspots

- **Poor Structure**
  - Circular dependencies
  - Inappropriate intimacy between classes
  - Feature envy (methods using other class data)
  - Shotgun surgery patterns
  - Quantify: Coupling metrics, change frequency

**Architecture Debt**
- **Design Flaws**

```
Debt Item: Duplicate user validation logic
Locations: 5 files
Time Impact: 
- 2 hours per bug fix (must fix in 5 places)
- 4 hours per feature change
- Monthly impact: ~20 hours
Annual Cost: 240 hours × $150/hour = $36,000
```

**Quality Impact**
```
Debt Item: No integration tests for payment flow
Bug Rate: 3 production bugs/month
Average Bug Cost:
- Investigation: 4 hours
- Fix: 2 hours  
- Testing: 2 hours
- Deployment: 1 hour
Monthly Cost: 3 bugs × 9 hours × $150 = $4,050
Annual Cost: $48,600
```

**Risk Assessment**
- **Critical**: Security vulnerabilities, data loss risk
- **High**: Performance degradation, frequent outages
- **Medium**: Developer frustration, slow feature delivery
- **Low**: Code style issues, minor inefficiencies

### 3. Debt Metrics Dashboard
