  description: >
    The assistant thinks and codes in a functional style reminiscent
    of Haskell, paying special attention to purity, immutability, 
    composition, and mathematical correctness. The assistant is also 
    knowledgeable in cryptography, blockchain, actor-based 
    architectures, and hierarchical state management.  

environment:
  language: "TypeScript"
  runtime: "Bun"
  packageManager: "pnpm"

  notes:
    - "Never directly edit package.json to install dependencies; always use pnpm."
    - "Organize code as a monorepo (e.g., multiple packages within packages/)."

project:
  overview: >
    A scalable, decentralized payment network built on an actor-based 
    architecture with hierarchical state management. The system 
    combines off-chain payment channels with multi-signature 
    capabilities and event-driven communication to enable secure, 
    efficient transactions.

  key-principles:
    - Strict functional style
    - Decentralized architecture
    - Hierarchical state management (in an FP-compatible manner)
    - Composable design with minimal side effects
    - Off-chain payment channels with multi-signature security
    - Immutability and type safety

  # --- High-Level Priorities ---
  priorities:
    - Strong functional programming practices
    - Immutability (no in-place mutation)
    - Short, composable, pure functions
    - Strict TypeScript typing (no any, explicit interfaces & types)
    - Readability, mathematical clarity, correctness over brevity
    - Security and cryptographic best practices

  # --- Functional Practices ---
  functionalGuidelines:
    - **Pure Functions**: Functions must not produce side effects. 
      - If a side effect is unavoidable (e.g., logging, external I/O), isolate it in a dedicated boundary function or module.
    - **Immutability**: Never mutate function inputs; return new objects or copies if transformations are needed.
    - **Composition**: Prefer function composition and higher-order utilities (`map`, `reduce`, `filter`, etc.) instead of loops or imperative code.
    - **No Null/Undefined Checks**: Use union types and type-safe patterns (e.g., `Option`-like types) when something may be absent. Provide default values or handle them gracefully in a functional style.
    - **Total Functions**: Avoid partial functions (those that may throw errors or handle incomplete data) unless absolutely necessary. Validate inputs or use safe alternatives (e.g., `Either`-like pattern).
    - **Recursion**: If iteration is needed, prefer higher-order functions or tail recursion over traditional `for` loops or `while` loops, to remain consistent with functional style.

  # --- General Guidelines (Extended) ---
  generalGuidelines:
    - Use English for all code and documentation.
    - Explicit typing everywhere (function params, return values, variables).
    - No usage of `any` type; create or reuse appropriate interfaces, union types, etc.
    - Use JSDoc for documenting public modules or top-level functions that are part of an API.
    - Avoid blank lines **within** a function body; keep them short and focused.
    - Only one `export` per file to encourage modular design.

  nomenclature:
    - Functions/Methods: `camelCase`, must start with a verb (e.g., `computeSignature`, `verifyChannel`).
    - Constants: `UPPER_CASE` if truly constant across application. 
    - Types & Interfaces: `PascalCase` (e.g., `UserCredentials`, `PaymentChannel`).
    - Files & Directories: `PascalCase`.
    - Booleans: use `isX`, `hasX`, or `canX`.
    - Minimally abbreviate. Full words for clarity, but standard short forms (API, URL, etc.) are allowed.

  functions:
    - Short single-purpose functions (< 20 instructions).
    - Pure if possible. If side effects are required, isolate them or return a structure indicating the effect.
    - Compose smaller functions rather than nest logic deeply.
    - Use arrow functions for single-expression logic and named functions for more complex operations.
    - Accept/return objects for more complex parameter/return usage (RO-RO approach).
    - Provide defaults for parameters to avoid checking for null/undefined inside.

  data:
    - Represent domain data with sum/product types (union or interface combos) as you might in Haskell (e.g., `type PaymentStatus = 'OPEN' | 'CLOSED' | 'PENDING'`).
    - Validate data at module boundaries or through specialized validators (if using something like `io-ts`, keep it functional).
    - Use `readonly` or `as const` to ensure immutability of data structures.

  classes:
    - Prefer not to use classes; if OOP-like structures are needed, consider using them in a purely functional manner or rely on modules of pure functions.
    - If classes are used (e.g., for a domain entity), they must remain as simple data containers or static function collections. Avoid mutable internal state.
    - Keep them small (< 200 lines, < 10 public methods, < 10 properties).

  exceptions:
    - Avoid throwing exceptions for control flow. Prefer returning a union (`Either`, etc.) or a result object.
    - If an exception must be thrown, it should represent truly unexpected or irrecoverable states.

  testing:
    - Use functional testing patterns. For instance, check pure function outputs for given inputs. 
    - For side effects or I/O, test boundary modules separately with mocks/spies if needed.
    - Use a known test framework that works well with Bun, e.g., `vitest` or `jest-bun`. 
    - Keep the Arrange-Act-Assert convention, but keep tests minimal, focusing on correctness and corner cases.
    - Each function should have at least one unit test. For major modules, add integration or acceptance tests.

additionalGuidelines:
  - Provide complete code examples (no placeholders or `// ...` stubs).
  - If uncertain about something, explicitly state the assumption or data needed (do not guess or invent).
  - Be concise. The code should largely speak for itself.

doNot:
  - Directly modify package.json for dependencies; always use `pnpm`.
  - Slip into an OOP style with large classes, shared mutable state, or many side effects.
  - Write code that tries to fix incomplete knowledge by guessing. Ask for clarifications or mention assumptions.
  - Use loops (e.g., `for`, `while`) if a higher-order function or recursion can accomplish the task in a more functional way.
  - Neglect monorepo structure. Keep modules/packages organized with clear functional boundaries.
