-# Create User Story in YouTrack
-
-Automated user-story creation workflow. Topic/hint: `$ARGUMENTS`
-
-## Step 1 — Gather Context
-
-Use `AskUserQuestion` tool to ask the user (max 4 questions at once):
-
-1. **Domain** — Is this frontend (UI/UX) or backend/coordinator/systems work?
-2. **User type** — Who is the actor? (e.g. player, admin, bot, system)
-3. **Action** — What should the user be able to do?
-4. **Goal/value** — Why? What outcome does it enable?
-
-If `$ARGUMENTS` already answers some of these, skip those questions.
-
-## Step 2 — Research (if needed)
-
-If the topic involves unfamiliar domain logic, game rules, or technical constraints:
-- Search the repo for relevant code (use `Grep`/`Bash` to find related files).
-- Use `WebSearch` if the topic involves external standards or protocols.
-- Do NOT guess. Surface findings before drafting.
-
-## Step 3 — Draft Story
-
-Compose the full story using this template:
-
-```
-As a [type of user]
-I want to [perform an action]
-So that [achieve a goal or value]
-
-
-Description
-
-[Additional context or business logic for this story.]
-
-
-Acceptance Criteria
-
-[List the specific, measurable criteria that define when this story is done:]
-
-- Criterion 1
-- Criterion 2
-- Criterion 3
-
-
-Implementation Notes
-
-[Technical notes, design references, or constraints.]
-```
-
-Rules:
-- User story line: plain English, present tense, from user's perspective.
-- Acceptance criteria: testable, unambiguous, one condition each.
-- Implementation notes: optional — only include if there are known constraints, related tickets, or design refs.
-
-## Step 4 — Clarify Acceptance Criteria
-
-Show the draft to the user.
-**Use `AskUserQuestion` tool to ask:**
-- Are the acceptance criteria complete and correct?
-- Any implementation constraints to add?
-- Priority (if known)?
-
-Incorporate feedback. Repeat until user approves.
-
-## Step 5 — Determine Project
-
-- Frontend / UI / UX → project: `NCWF`
-- Backend / coordinator / systems / bot / engine → project: `NCS`
-
-If ambiguous, ask the user.
-
-## Step 6 — Create Issue
-
-Call `mcp__youtrack__create_issue` with:
-- `project`: determined in Step 5
-- `summary`: concise title derived from the "I want to" clause (≤72 chars, sentence case)
-- `description`: full formatted story from Step 3 (Markdown)
-- `type`: `Feature` (or `Task` if purely technical with no user-facing value)
-
-## Step 7 — Report
-
-Display the created issue ID and URL.
-Ask if a linked sub-task or implementation ticket is needed.

-# Estimate Issue Time in YouTrack
-
-Sprint planning time estimator. Issue ID or empty for full current sprint: `$ARGUMENTS`
-
-## Step 1 — Determine Scope
-
-**Single-issue mode** (`$ARGUMENTS` set):
-- Call `mcp__youtrack__get_issue` on `$ARGUMENTS`.
-- Proceed with that issue only.
-
-**Sprint mode** (`$ARGUMENTS` empty):
-- Call `mcp__youtrack__search_issues` with query `project: NCS Sprints: {current sprint} #Unresolved`.
-- If query returns 0 results, use `AskUserQuestion` to ask for the sprint name, then retry with `project: NCS Sprints: {name}`.
-- Collect all returned issues.
-
-## Step 2 — Build Issue Tree
-
-For each top-level issue from Step 1:
-1. Fetch full details via `mcp__youtrack__get_issue`: summary, description, acceptance criteria, Type, existing `Zeitschätzung`, linked issues.
-2. Identify subtasks from links with relation `subtask of` (i.e. issues where the fetched issue is the parent).
-3. Recursively fetch subtasks until all leaves are known.
-4. Group into tree: Epic → Story → Task/Subtask.
-
-**Leaf node** = issue with no subtask children.
-**Parent node** = issue that has at least one subtask child.
-
-## Step 3 — Estimate Leaf Nodes
-
-For each leaf node:
-1. Read: summary, description, acceptance criteria, implementation notes.
-2. If scope is unclear, search codebase (`Grep`/`Bash`) for related files to gauge complexity.
-3. Assign estimate using this scale:
-
-| Size | Criteria | Estimate |
-|------|----------|----------|
-| Trivial | Config change, rename, 1-file tweak | 30m |
-| Small | 1–3 files, clear scope, no unknowns | 1h–2h |
-| Medium | 3–6 files, some design needed | 3h–5h |
-| Large | 6+ files, cross-module, non-trivial design | 1d–2d |
-| XL | New subsystem, research spike, major refactor | 3d–5d |
-
-4. Record: estimate + one-line reasoning.
-5. Skip leaf if it already has `Zeitschätzung` set — note it as pre-estimated.
-
-## Step 4 — Roll Up for Display
-
-YouTrack auto-sums `Zeitschätzung` from subtasks up to parents — **do not write estimates to parent nodes**.
-
-Compute display-only rolled-up totals:
-- Parent total = sum of all descendant leaf estimates (including pre-estimated ones).
-- Flag any branch where some leaves are missing estimates (partial roll-up).
-
-## Step 5 — Show Summary + Confirm
-
-Display full tree with estimates. Format:
-
-```
-Epic  NCS-10: Castling overhaul             [4h 30m]  ← rolled up
-  Story NCS-11: Validate castling rights    [2h 30m]  ← rolled up
-    Task  NCS-12: Fix RuleSet check          1h 30m   ← leaf (new)
-    Task  NCS-13: Add regression tests       1h       ← leaf (new)
-  Story NCS-14: UI feedback for castling    [2h]      ← rolled up
-    Task  NCS-15: Highlight invalid squares  2h       ← leaf (pre-set, skipped)
-```
-
-Legend: `[X]` = display-only roll-up (not written). Plain = will be written to YouTrack.
-
-If sprint mode, show grand total at bottom:
-```
-Sprint total: Xd Yh Zm  (N issues, M leaves to update)
-```
-
-**Use `AskUserQuestion` tool:**
-- Does the breakdown look right?
-- Any estimates to adjust before writing to YouTrack?
-
-Incorporate all feedback before proceeding.
-
-## Step 6 — Write Estimates
-
-On user approval, write estimates **only to leaf nodes** (bottom-up order):
-- For each leaf with a new estimate, call `mcp__youtrack__update_issue` with field `Zeitschätzung` = approved estimate.
-- YouTrack period format: `"30m"`, `"1h 30m"`, `"1d"`, `"2d 4h"`.
-- Skip leaves already pre-estimated.
-
-## Step 7 — Report
-
-List all updated issues with set estimates.
-Show final rolled-up totals per Epic/Story (read back from YouTrack via `mcp__youtrack__get_issue` if needed).
-In sprint mode, show total sprint estimate.

-# Fix Defect from YouTrack
-
-Automated defect-fix workflow. Ticket ID: `$ARGUMENTS`
-
-## Step 1 — Fetch Ticket
-
-Call `mcp__youtrack__get_issue` with ID `$ARGUMENTS`.
-Extract and display: summary, description, steps to reproduce, Priority, Subsystem.
-
-## Step 2 — Create Worktree
-
-Derive branch name from ticket:
-- `type` from YouTrack issue type: `bug` → `fix`, `feature`/`task` → `feat`, `refactor` → `refactor`, else `chore`
-- `scope` from affected module/component (kebab-case, omit if unclear)
-- `description` from ticket summary: lowercase, kebab-case, max 40 chars, drop articles
-
-Branch format: `<type>/<ticket-id>-<description>`
-Example: `fix/NOW-123-castling-validation-failure`
-
-Call `EnterWorktree` with that branch name.
-All subsequent file work happens inside this worktree.
-
-## Step 3 — Identify Root Cause (read-only)
-
-1. Run `./compile` — capture all errors and warnings.
-2. Run `./test` — capture all failures.
-3. Spawn `cavecrew-investigator` with: ticket description + compile/test output → locate root cause (files, line numbers, what's wrong).
-4. **If anything is ambiguous (reproduction unclear, scope uncertain, conflicting signals), use `AskUserQuestion` tool to ask — max 4 questions at once.**
-5. **Report findings to user. No file writes yet. Wait for acknowledgement before continuing.**
-
-## Step 3b — Complexity Assessment + Subtasks
-
-After root cause confirmed, assess scope:
-
-**Simple** (1–2 files, single concern, < 1 hour estimated): proceed directly to Step 4.
-
-**Complex** (3+ files, multiple concerns, or estimated > 1 hour): create subtasks before coding.
-
-To create subtasks:
-1. Break fix into discrete, independently-completable tasks (e.g. "Fix validation in RuleSet", "Add regression test for castling edge case", "Update FenParser to handle X").
-2. For each subtask call `mcp__youtrack__create_issue` with:
-   - `project`: same project as parent ticket
-   - `summary`: concise action-oriented title
-   - `type`: `Task`
-   - `description`: what to do and why
-3. Call `mcp__youtrack__link_issues` to link each subtask to `$ARGUMENTS` with relation `subtask of`.
-4. List created subtask IDs to user.
-
-Then proceed to Step 4, implementing subtasks in order.
-
-## Step 4 — Fix
-
-1. Implement fix (use `scala-implementer` agent for non-trivial changes; inline edits for small ones).
-2. Run `./compile` — must be green.
-3. Run `./test` — must be green.
-4. Run `./lint` — must be green.
-If any step fails, iterate until all pass.
-
-## Step 5 — Review
-
-Spawn `cavecrew-reviewer` on the full diff.
-Display findings grouped by severity.
-
-## Step 6 — Confirm + Push
-
-Show summary: ticket, branch, files changed, review findings.
-**Use `AskUserQuestion` tool to ask for explicit approval before pushing.** Include any open questions about commit message scope or body if unclear.
-
-On approval, commit following Conventional Commits:
-
-```
-<type>(<scope>): <short description, imperative, ≤50 chars>
-
-<optional body: what changed and why, wrap at 72 chars>
-
-Closes $ARGUMENTS
-https://knockoutwhist.youtrack.cloud/issue/$ARGUMENTS
-```
-
-- `type`: same as branch type (`fix`, `feat`, `refactor`, `chore`, etc.)
-- `scope`: affected module (`core`, `rule`, `api`, `bot`, `io`)
-- Subject: imperative mood, no period, lowercase
-- Footer `Closes $ARGUMENTS` and ticket URL always present
-
-Push branch to remote.
-
-## Step 7 — Comment on Ticket
-
-After successful push, call `mcp__youtrack__add_issue_comment` on `$ARGUMENTS` with:
-
-```
-Branch `<branch-name>` pushed.
-
-<one-sentence summary of what was changed and why>
-
-Files changed:
-- <file1>
-- <file2>
-```
-
-## Step 8 — Cleanup
-
-Call `ExitWorktree` to delete the worktree.
-Report: branch pushed, ticket commented, worktree deleted, done.

-# Split Story into Subtasks in YouTrack
-
-Split a user story into smaller, implementable subtasks. Story ID: `$ARGUMENTS`
-
-## Step 1 — Fetch Story
-
-Call `mcp__youtrack__get_issue` with ID `$ARGUMENTS`.
-Extract and display: summary, description, acceptance criteria, implementation notes.
-
-## Step 2 — Research (if needed)
-
-If the story involves unfamiliar domain logic or technical constraints:
-- Search repo for relevant code (`Grep`/`Bash`).
-- Use `WebSearch` for external standards or protocols.
-- Do NOT guess. Surface findings before proposing splits.
-
-## Step 3 — Propose Split
-
-Analyse the story and propose a set of subtasks. Rules:
-- Each subtask = one unit of work, completable independently or in sequence.
-- No subtask should exceed ~2 days of work.
-- Name subtasks in imperative mood (e.g. "Implement move validation endpoint").
-- Cover the full scope of the parent story — no gaps.
-
-Show proposed subtask list to user (titles only) and ask:
-**Use `AskUserQuestion` tool:**
-- Does the split look right?
-- Any subtasks to add, remove, or merge?
-- Should any subtask be assigned to a specific person?
-
-Incorporate feedback. Repeat until user approves the list.
-
-## Step 4 — Draft Each Subtask
-
-For each approved subtask, compose description using this template:
-
-```
-[Brief description of what needs to be done for this subtask.]
-
-
-Steps / Tasks
-
-- Task 1
-- Task 2
-- Task 3
-
-
-Definition of Done
-
-What must be true for this subtask to be considered complete:
-
-- Code implemented
-- Tests passed
-- Reviewed and merged
-```
-
-Rules:
-- Steps/Tasks: concrete, ordered where order matters.
-- Definition of Done: adjust per subtask — not all subtasks need the same criteria (e.g. a research spike has different DoD than an implementation task).
-- Keep description short — one paragraph max.
-
-## Step 5 — Determine Project
-
-Inherit project from parent story (`$ARGUMENTS`):
-- If parent is `NCWF-*` → subtasks go in `NCWF`
-- If parent is `NCS-*` → subtasks go in `NCS`
-
-## Step 6 — Create Subtasks
-
-For each subtask call `mcp__youtrack__create_issue` with:
-- `project`: from Step 5
-- `summary`: subtask title (≤72 chars, sentence case)
-- `description`: full formatted description from Step 4 (Markdown)
-- `type`: `Task`
-
-Then call `mcp__youtrack__link_issues` to link each created subtask to `$ARGUMENTS` with relation `subtask of`.
-
-## Step 7 — Report
-
-List all created subtask IDs and summaries.
-Display parent story link.
-Ask if any subtask needs further splitting.

+# NowChess Load Testing with k6
+
+Performance testing suite for NowChess services using k6.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# Install k6 (macOS)
+brew install k6
+
+# Or download from https://k6.io/docs/getting-started/installation/
+```
+
+## Test Scenarios
+
+### 1. Ramp-Up Test
+Gradually increases load from 10 to 100 concurrent users.
+
+```bash
+k6 run ramp-up.js
+```
+
+Target: Identify system behavior under gradual load increase.
+
+### 2. Stress Test
+Incremental load increase up to 500 concurrent users to find breaking point.
+
+```bash
+k6 run stress-test.js
+```
+
+Target: Determine system capacity and failure point.
+
+### 3. Spike Test
+Sudden traffic surge (baseline 50 → 500 users instantly).
+
+```bash
+k6 run spike-test.js
+```
+
+Target: Test recovery and resilience to sudden spikes.
+
+### 4. Constant Load Test
+Maintains 50 VUs for 10 minutes.
+
+```bash
+k6 run constant-load.js
+```
+
+Target: Check stability under sustained load.
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Override service endpoints
+export BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080
+export ACCOUNT_HOST=http://localhost:8083
+export STORE_HOST=http://localhost:8085
+
+k6 run ramp-up.js
+```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Ensure services are running:
+- Core: `localhost:8080`
+- Account: `localhost:8083`
+- Store: `localhost:8085`
+- Redis: `localhost:6379` (with increased pool size)
+
+## Metrics Interpretation
+
+- `http_req_duration`: Response time (p95, p99 percentiles matter most)
+- `http_req_failed`: Failed requests (connection errors, errors, non-2xx responses)
+- `vus`: Virtual Users (concurrent connections)
+- `iterations`: Completed test cycles per VU
+
+## Results
+
+k6 generates HTML report output. Use with:
+
+```bash
+k6 run --out=csv=results.csv ramp-up.js
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you see:
+- **"max pool wait timeout"** → Redis pool still too small or maxWaitTime too short
+- **"connection refused"** → Service not running
+- **"high p99 latency"** → System approaching capacity
+
+Increase Redis pool settings in `modules/*/src/main/resources/application.yml`:
+```yaml
+quarkus:
+  redis:
+    pool:
+      max-size: 128  # Increase if still hitting limits
+      max-waiting: 256
+```

+# JMH Benchmarks
+
+Java Microbenchmark Harness (JMH) benchmarks for performance-critical components.
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+./gradlew modules:benchmarks:jmhJar
+```
+
+Produces `modules/benchmarks/build/libs/benchmarks-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jmh.jar`.
+
+## Running Benchmarks
+
+Since these benchmarks are written in Scala, JMH auto-discovery via jar packaging doesn't work. Instead, run benchmarks via classpath:
+
+```bash
+./gradlew modules:benchmarks:run --args='de.nowchess.benchmarks.MoveBenchmark'
+```
+
+Or compile and run with explicit classpath:
+```bash
+./gradlew modules:benchmarks:compileScala
+java -cp "modules/benchmarks/build/classes/scala/main:modules/benchmarks/build/resources/main:$(./gradlew -q printClasspath)" \
+  org.openjdk.jmh.Main de.nowchess.benchmarks.MoveBenchmark
+```
+
+Adjust JMH options:
+- `-f 1` — 1 fork (faster iteration, less reliable)
+- `-i 3 -w 2` — 3 measurement iterations, 2 warmup iterations
+- `-bm avgt` — average time mode
+- `-tu us` — time unit (microseconds)
+
+Example:
+```bash
+java -cp "..." org.openjdk.jmh.Main de.nowchess.benchmarks.MoveBenchmark -f 1 -i 3 -w 2 -bm avgt
+```
+
+## Writing Benchmarks
+
+Create Scala class with `@Benchmark` methods:
+
+```scala
+@BenchmarkMode(Array(Mode.AverageTime, Mode.Throughput))
+@OutputTimeUnit(TimeUnit.MICROSECONDS)
+@State(Scope.Benchmark)
+@Fork(2)
+@Warmup(iterations = 3)
+@Measurement(iterations = 5)
+class SomeBenchmark {
+  @Setup(Level.Trial)
+  def setup(): Unit = ???
+
+  @org.openjdk.jmh.annotations.Benchmark
+  def benchmarkSomething(bh: Blackhole): Unit = {
+    val result = expensiveOperation()
+    bh.consume(result)  // Prevent dead-code elimination
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Benchmark Modes
+
+- `AverageTime` — average execution time per operation
+- `Throughput` — operations per unit time
+- `SampleTime` — latency samples (min, max, percentiles)
+- `SingleShotTime` — total time to execute N ops once
+- `All` — run all modes
+
+## Limitations
+
+JMH's Gradle plugin doesn't fully support Scala annotation processing, so benchmarks must be run explicitly by class name rather than auto-discovered. This is a known limitation of JMH + Scala; consider Java-based benchmarks for full auto-discovery support.
