+# Issue #1001: MCP Protocol Hardening, Robust Error Handling & SSE Transport Support
+
+**Type:** Feature / Hardening  
+**Component:** `build/mcp_server.py`, `tests/unit_mcp_protocol.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `mcp`, `protocol`, `security`, `sse`, `json-rpc`  
+
+## 🎯 Description & Objectives
+The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for MySQLTuner needs to adhere strictly to the MCP 2024-11-05 specification and JSON-RPC 2.0 (RFC 4627 / 7159).
+Key requirements:
+1. **Full JSON-RPC 2.0 Compliance**:
+   - Standard error codes: `-32700` (Parse error), `-32600` (Invalid Request), `-32601` (Method not found), `-32602` (Invalid params), `-32603` (Internal error).
+   - Proper request ID preservation and type support (string, integer, null).
+   - Strict notification support (requests without `id` do not return a response).
+2. **Dual Transport Support**:
+   - `stdio` (default standard input/output streaming).
+   - `sse` (HTTP Server-Sent Events with `/sse` endpoint and `/message` POST endpoint using Python standard library `http.server` for zero external dependencies).
+3. **Robust Input Parsing & Security Sanitization**:
+   - Strict rejection of multi-statement injection, semicolon splitting, dangerous commands (`DROP`, `DELETE`, `TRUNCATE`, `GRANT`, `REVOKE`, `SYSTEM`).
+   - Clean SQL comment stripping before validation.
+4. **Complete Schema Definitions**:
+   - All tools must expose valid JSON Schemas for `inputSchema` with `type: "object"` and structured parameter validation.
+
+## 🧪 Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] JSON-RPC 2.0 error handling adheres to standard codes.
+- [x] Support `--sse --port <PORT>` and `--stdio` modes.
+- [x] Unit test suite `tests/unit_mcp_protocol.t` validates stdio and SSE interfaces.
+- [x] Zero external Python library dependencies (pure standard library: `json`, `http.server`, `urllib`, `threading`, `subprocess`).

+
+# AI Skill: InnoDB Buffer Pool Sizing & Efficiency Analysis
+
+## 🧠 Purpose & Operational Objectives
+The `analyze_buffer_pool` skill enables autonomous DBA agents to diagnose memory pressure, caching efficiency, and dirty page write stalls in the InnoDB storage engine.
+
+## 📋 Preconditions & Context
+- Server running MySQL 5.5+ or MariaDB 10.0+ with InnoDB enabled.
+- Database connectivity established or cached audit state available.
+- Read-only execution: does not execute any modifying statements directly.
+
+## 🛠️ Input Parameters
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| `target_ram_percentage` | number | No | `75` | Target percentage of available host RAM dedicated to InnoDB (50-85%). |
+| `include_dirty_pages` | boolean | No | `true` | Include dirty page write stall analysis. |
+
+## 📊 Evaluation Criteria & Thresholds
+1. **Hit Ratio**: $\frac{\text{read\_requests} - \text{reads}}{\text{read\_requests}} \times 100$
+   - $\ge 99\%$: **OPTIMAL**
+   - $95\% - 99\%$: **ACCEPTABLE**
+   - $< 95\%$: **UNDERSIZED** (Generates disk I/O bottleneck)
+2. **Dirty Page Ratio**: $\frac{\text{pages\_dirty}}{\text{pages\_total}} \times 100$
+   - $> 75\%$: **DIRTY_STALL** (Risk of checkpoint flushing stalls)
+3. **Instance Partitioning**:
+   - For buffer pools $> 1\text{GB}$, recommend `innodb_buffer_pool_instances` $\ge 8$.
+
+## 🛡️ Guardrails & Safety
+- All recommendations specify exact SQL (`SET GLOBAL ...`) and rollback SQL.
+- Changes requiring restart (e.g. `innodb_buffer_pool_instances` on older MySQL) are explicitly flagged with `requires_restart: true`.

+# Issue #1003: AI Skill Specification — analyze_buffer_pool
+
+**Type:** Feature / AI Skill  
+**Component:** `build/mcp_server.py`, `.agent/skills/analyze-buffer-pool/SKILL.md`, `tests/unit_skill_buffer_pool.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `mcp`, `skill`, `innodb`, `performance`, `memory`  
+
+## 🎯 Description & Objectives
+Implement the specialized AI Diagnostic Skill `analyze_buffer_pool` in the MySQLTuner MCP server.
+This skill allows LLM agents and autonomous DBA routines to deeply evaluate InnoDB Buffer Pool memory allocation, caching efficiency, dirty page ratios, and instance partitioning without needing manual log parsing.
+
+### Diagnostic Algorithms
+1. **Cache Efficiency (Hit Ratio)**:
+   $$\text{Hit Ratio} = \left(1 - \frac{\text{Innodb\_buffer\_pool\_reads}}{\text{Innodb\_buffer\_pool\_read\_requests}}\right) \times 100$$
+   - Target: $\ge 99.0\%$ for OLTP workloads.
+2. **Page Utilization**:
+   - $\text{Free Page Ratio} = \frac{\text{pages\_free}}{\text{pages\_total}} \times 100$
+   - $\text{Dirty Page Ratio} = \frac{\text{pages\_dirty}}{\text{pages\_total}} \times 100$ (Alert threshold: $> 75\%$)
+3. **Dataset vs Buffer Pool Sizing**:
+   - Total InnoDB Data + Index footprint vs `innodb_buffer_pool_size`.
+4. **Instance Concurrency**:
+   - For buffer pools $> 1\text{GB}$, recommend `innodb_buffer_pool_instances` matching CPU cores (up to 64, typical 8).
+
+## 🧪 Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] Skill registered in MCP Tools Catalog as `analyze_buffer_pool` with strict JSON Schema.
+- [x] Returns typed output with metrics, health status, and rollback-ready SQL recommendations.
+- [x] Unit test `tests/unit_skill_buffer_pool.t` covering optimal, undersized, and dirty-stall states.
+- [x] Documentation in `.agent/skills/analyze-buffer-pool/SKILL.md`.

+name: diagnose_replication_lag
+description: Diagnoses MySQL and MariaDB replication latency, IO/SQL thread failures, GTID synchronization, and parallel worker saturation.
+---
+
+# AI Skill: Database Replication Latency & Health Diagnostics
+
+## 🧠 Purpose & Operational Objectives
+The `diagnose_replication_lag` skill allows AI agents to monitor binary log transport latency, parallel worker thread concurrency, and replication thread failures in master-replica and multi-source topologies.
+
+## 📋 Preconditions & Context
+- Server configured as a MySQL or MariaDB replica/slave node.
+- Read-only queries executed (`SHOW REPLICA STATUS` or `SHOW SLAVE STATUS`).
+- Compatible with legacy (`SLAVE`) and modern (`REPLICA`) keywords.
+
+## 🛠️ Input Parameters
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| `max_acceptable_lag_seconds` | integer | No | `30` | Threshold in seconds above which replication is considered degraded. |
+| `channel_name` | string | No | `""` | Multi-source replication channel identifier (optional). |
+
+## 📊 Status Evaluation
+1. **NOT_A_REPLICA**: No replication configuration detected on the instance.
+2. **THREAD_FAILED**: `Slave_IO_Running != 'Yes'` or `Slave_SQL_Running != 'Yes'`. Returns exact SQL/IO error code and message.
+3. **DEGRADED_LAG**: Threads running, but `Seconds_Behind_Master > max_acceptable_lag_seconds`.
+4. **HEALTHY**: Both threads running and latency within acceptable bounds.
+
+## 🛡️ Guardrails & Remediation
+- Automatically suggests parallel worker thread tuning (`replica_parallel_workers`, `replica_parallel_type = 'LOGICAL_CLOCK'`) to absorb heavy write streams.
+- Provides rollback commands for all global variables.

+# Issue #1005: AI Skill Specification — diagnose_replication_lag
+
+**Type:** Feature / AI Skill  
+**Component:** `build/mcp_server.py`, `.agent/skills/diagnose-replication-lag/SKILL.md`, `tests/unit_skill_replication.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `mcp`, `skill`, `replication`, `reliability`, `gtid`  
+
+## 🎯 Description & Objectives
+Implement the specialized AI Diagnostic Skill `diagnose_replication_lag` in the MySQLTuner MCP server.
+This skill allows LLM agents and automated site reliability engineers to diagnose asynchronous and semi-synchronous replication anomalies, parallel worker saturation, IO/SQL thread failures, and GTID synchronization gaps across MySQL 5.7/8.0/8.4 and MariaDB 10.5/10.11/11.4 topologies.
+
+### Diagnostic Algorithms
+1. **Topology & Status Detection**:
+   - Executes `SHOW REPLICA STATUS` with fallback to `SHOW SLAVE STATUS`.
+   - Distinguishes Standalone vs Primary vs Replica node roles.
+2. **Health Assessment**:
+   - `HEALTHY`: IO & SQL threads running, `Seconds_Behind_Master` $\le \text{max\_lag}$.
+   - `DEGRADED_LAG`: IO & SQL threads running, but `Seconds_Behind_Master` $> \text{max\_lag}$.
+   - `THREAD_FAILED`: `Slave_IO_Running` or `Slave_SQL_Running` is `No` with Last_Error details.
+   - `NOT_A_REPLICA`: No replication source configured.
+3. **Multi-Threaded Worker Optimization**:
+   - When replication lag is detected on single-threaded workers (`slave_parallel_workers == 0`), recommend `SET GLOBAL replica_parallel_workers = 4` and `SET GLOBAL replica_parallel_type = 'LOGICAL_CLOCK'`.
+
+## 🧪 Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] Skill registered in MCP Tools Catalog as `diagnose_replication_lag` with strict JSON Schema.
+- [x] Returns structured metrics: `io_running`, `sql_running`, `lag_seconds`, `gtid_mode`, `parallel_workers`, `last_error`, and actionable recommendations.
+- [x] Unit test `tests/unit_skill_replication.t` covering healthy, lagged, thread-failed, and standalone topologies.
+- [x] Documentation in `.agent/skills/diagnose-replication-lag/SKILL.md`.

+name: detect_fragmented_tables
+description: Detects tables with high storage fragmentation, calculates reclaimable disk space, evaluates lock impact, and generates safe defragmentation commands.
+---
+
+# AI Skill: Table Fragmentation & Storage Reclaim Diagnostics
+
+## 🧠 Purpose & Operational Objectives
+The `detect_fragmented_tables` skill enables autonomous DBA agents to identify wasted disk space, high data file fragmentation, and unused allocated extents across InnoDB and MyISAM tables.
+
+## 📋 Preconditions & Context
+- Server running MySQL 5.5+ or MariaDB 10.0+.
+- Read access to `information_schema.TABLES`.
+- Evaluates non-system schemas (skips `mysql`, `information_schema`, `performance_schema`, `sys`).
+
+## 🛠️ Input Parameters
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| `min_fragmentation_pct` | number | No | `20` | Minimum fragmentation percentage (0-100) to trigger reporting. |
+| `min_table_size_mb` | number | No | `10` | Minimum table size in MB to filter out trivial tables. |
+| `schema_filter` | string | No | `""` | Optional schema name to restrict the scan. |
+
+## 📊 Fragmentation Formula & Impact Scoring
+$$\text{Total Allocated Space} = \text{DATA\_LENGTH} + \text{INDEX\_LENGTH} + \text{DATA\_FREE}$$
+$$\text{Fragmentation Pct} = \left(\frac{\text{DATA\_FREE}}{\text{Total Allocated Space}}\right) \times 100$$
+
+- **Tables $< 5\text{GB}$**: Can be defragmented online during low-traffic windows via `OPTIMIZE TABLE \`db\`.\`table\`;`.
+- **Tables $\ge 5\text{GB}$**: Flagged as `is_high_impact: true`. Advise using online tools like `pt-online-schema-change` or `gh-ost` to prevent extended table locks and disk thrashing.
+
+## 🛡️ Guardrails & Safety
+- All schema and table names are safely escaped with backticks to prevent SQL injection.
+- Reclaimable disk space is calculated deterministically.

+# Issue #1007: AI Skill Specification — detect_fragmented_tables
+
+**Type:** Feature / AI Skill  
+**Component:** `build/mcp_server.py`, `.agent/skills/detect-fragmented-tables/SKILL.md`, `tests/unit_skill_fragmentation.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `mcp`, `skill`, `storage`, `tables`, `defragmentation`  
+
+## 🎯 Description & Objectives
+Implement the specialized AI Diagnostic Skill `detect_fragmented_tables` in the MySQLTuner MCP server.
+This skill allows LLM agents and DBA tools to scan user tables, compute unused allocated pages (`Data_free`), estimate reclaimable storage, assess online defragmentation locks, and propose safe optimization scripts.
+
+### Diagnostic Algorithms
+1. **Scope Filtering**:
+   - Excludes system databases: `information_schema`, `mysql`, `performance_schema`, `sys`.
+   - Filters tables below `min_table_size_mb` (default: 10MB) to ignore transient or small datasets.
+2. **Fragmentation Calculation**:
+   $$\text{Total Space} = \text{DATA\_LENGTH} + \text{INDEX\_LENGTH} + \text{DATA\_FREE}$$
+   $$\text{Fragmentation Pct} = \left(\frac{\text{DATA\_FREE}}{\text{Total Space}}\right) \times 100$$
+3. **Lock & Impact Assessment**:
+   - Tables $< 5\text{GB}$: Recommend direct `OPTIMIZE TABLE \`db\`.\`tbl\`;` (InnoDB online rebuild).
+   - Tables $\ge 5\text{GB}$: Flag `is_high_impact: true` and advise off-peak scheduling or online schema change tools (`pt-online-schema-change`, `gh-ost`).
+
+## 🧪 Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] Registered in MCP Tools Catalog as `detect_fragmented_tables` with strict JSON Schema.
+- [x] Computes cumulative reclaimable storage in human-readable and raw byte formats.
+- [x] Unit test `tests/unit_skill_fragmentation.t` verifying filtering, fragmentation ratios, and high-impact classification.
+- [x] Documentation in `.agent/skills/detect-fragmented-tables/SKILL.md`.

+# Issue #1021: MySQL Boolean Normalization Engine (Phase 24)
+
+**Type:** Feature / Architecture Refactoring  
+**Component:** `mysqltuner.pl`, `tests/unit_boolean_normalization.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `engine`, `normalization`, `boolean`, `quality`  
+
+## 🎯 Description & Objectives
+MySQL, MariaDB, and Percona Server represent boolean configurations using disparate representations across engine versions and subsystems:
+- `ON` / `OFF`
+- `1` / `0`
+- `YES` / `NO` (e.g. `SHOW SLAVE STATUS`, `information_schema.TABLES`)
+- `TRUE` / `FALSE`
+- `ENABLED` / `DISABLED` (e.g. `performance_schema.setup_instruments`)
+
+This phase implements a central, high-performance boolean normalization engine in `mysqltuner.pl` (`normalize_mysql_bool`, `is_mysql_true`, `is_mysql_false`, `format_mysql_bool`) and replaces fragile ad-hoc regexes with unified helper invocations.
+
+## 🧪 Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] Standard subroutines `normalize_mysql_bool`, `is_mysql_true`, `is_mysql_false`, `format_mysql_bool` defined in `mysqltuner.pl`.
+- [x] Handles undefined values, numeric 0/1, strings `ON`/`OFF`, `YES`/`NO`, `TRUE`/`FALSE`, `ENABLED`/`DISABLED` case-insensitively.
+- [x] Comprehensive TAP unit test `tests/unit_boolean_normalization.t` covering all representations, edge cases, and helper methods.
+- [x] Core diagnostic blocks refactored to use `is_mysql_true` / `is_mysql_false`.

+# Issue #1022: Deprecated System Variables & Synonyms Audit (Phase 25)
+
+**Type:** Feature / Diagnostic Rule Engine  
+**Component:** `mysqltuner.pl`, `tests/unit_deprecated_vars_audit.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `diagnostic`, `variables`, `deprecated`, `tuning`, `recommendations`  
+
+## 🎯 Description & Objectives
+Modern MySQL (8.0, 8.4, 9.x) and MariaDB (10.11, 11.4+) have eliminated dozens of legacy system variables and obsolete synonyms. When legacy configuration files contain these variables, the server either logs deprecation notices or fails to parse them on startup.
+
+This phase implements a dedicated diagnostic audit routine `audit_deprecated_variables()` in `mysqltuner.pl` that inspects loaded server variables and emits actionable modernization guidance:
+1. `log_slow_queries` -> `slow_query_log`
+2. `table_cache` -> `table_open_cache`
+3. `tx_isolation` (MySQL 8.0+ / MariaDB 11.1+) -> `transaction_isolation`
+4. `query_cache_size` / `query_cache_type` (MySQL 8.0+) -> Remove (Query cache removed)
+5. `default_authentication_plugin` (MySQL 8.4+) -> `authentication_policy`
+6. `innodb_file_format` / `innodb_large_prefix` (MySQL 8.0+) -> Remove (Barracuda is default)
+
+## 🧪 Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] Dedicated diagnostic subroutine `audit_deprecated_variables()` implemented in `mysqltuner.pl`.
+- [x] Correct version-gating ensuring legacy variables are only flagged when obsolete for the target DB version.
+- [x] Recommendations pushed to `@generalrec` and structured in `$result{'Deprecated_Variables'}` for JSON/HTML reports.
+- [x] Comprehensive TAP unit test `tests/unit_deprecated_vars_audit.t` validating all deprecation rules.

+# Issue #1023: Build Stack Rationalization (Python/Bash -> Pure Perl Migration) (Phase 30.1 & 30.2)
+
+**Type:** Architecture / Toolchain Rationalization  
+**Component:** `build/release_gen.pl`, `build/genFeatures.pl`, `Makefile`, `build/dev_sync.pl`, `tests/unit_release_gen.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `build`, `ci`, `perl`, `rationalization`, `release`  
+
+## 🎯 Description & Objectives
+The MySQLTuner project strictly enforces a zero-dependency, Perl-first architecture. However, several build and maintenance utilities in `build/` relied on Python 3 (`build/release_gen.py`) and Bash pipelines (`build/genFeatures.sh`), creating unnecessary multi-language dependencies for developers and CI runners.
+
+This phase migrates:
+1. `build/release_gen.py` -> `build/release_gen.pl` in pure Perl (Core modules only: `POSIX`, `File::Spec`, `FindBin`, `Getopt::Long`, `Cwd`) with 100% output parity.
+2. `build/genFeatures.sh` -> `build/genFeatures.pl` in pure Perl.
+3. Updates `Makefile`, `.husky/post-commit`, `build/dev_sync.pl`, and documentation to invoke `perl build/release_gen.pl` and `perl build/genFeatures.pl`.
+4. Creates dedicated TAP unit test `tests/unit_release_gen.t` to ensure long-term stability and regression resistance.
+
+## 🧪 Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] `build/release_gen.pl` implements all features: changelog parsing, conventional commit categorization, diagnostic growth indicators calculation, CLI options delta detection.
+- [x] `build/genFeatures.pl` extracts features from `mysqltuner.pl` into `FEATURES.md` in pure Perl.
+- [x] All build targets in `Makefile` and `build/dev_sync.pl` updated to use `perl build/release_gen.pl` and `perl build/genFeatures.pl`.
+- [x] TAP test suite `tests/unit_release_gen.t` passing.

+# Issue #1024: Multi-Language Normalization & EOL/CVE Consolidation (Phase 27 & 30.4)
+
+**Type:** Maintenance / Toolchain Consolidation  
+**Component:** `build/sync_eol_dates.pl`, `build/updateCVElist.pl`, `build/get_version.sh`, `Makefile`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `cve`, `eol`, `maintenance`, `toolchain`, `perl`  
+
+## 🎯 Description & Objectives
+To enforce the single-file, zero-dependency CPAN and Perl-first policy across all developer tools:
+1. Merge `endoflife.sh` (Bash + curl + jq) into `build/sync_eol_dates.pl` using standard Core `HTTP::Tiny` and `JSON::PP`.
+2. Update `build/updateCVElist.pl` to use Core `HTTP::Tiny` and `JSON::PP` (removing non-core `LWP::UserAgent` and `JSON`). Remove obsolete `build/updateCVElist.py`.
+3. Create centralized `build/get_version.sh` for reliable version extraction.
+4. Remove orphan files (`JenkinsFile`, `tests/unit_versions.t.bak`, `build/genFeatures.sh`, `build/endoflife.sh`).
+5. Update `Makefile` target `generate_eof_files` to use `perl ./build/sync_eol_dates.pl --generate`.
+
+## 🧪 Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] `build/sync_eol_dates.pl` can generate `mysql_support.md` and `mariadb_support.md` directly in pure Perl.
+- [x] `build/updateCVElist.pl` uses only Perl Core modules (`HTTP::Tiny`, `JSON::PP`).
+- [x] `build/get_version.sh` created and executable.
+- [x] Orphan files (`JenkinsFile`, `tests/unit_versions.t.bak`, `build/updateCVElist.py`, `build/endoflife.sh`, `build/genFeatures.sh`) removed.
+- [x] Unit test `tests/unit_cve_update.t` validates scripts compilation and pure Perl execution.

+# Issue #1025: Structured Roadmap Automation & Schema Validation (Phase 21)
+
+**Type:** Feature / Quality Gate Automation  
+**Component:** `build/validate_roadmap.pl`, `tests/unit_roadmap_validation.t`, `Makefile`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `roadmap`, `schema`, `validation`, `automation`, `qa`  
+
+## 🎯 Description & Objectives
+The project's strategic roadmap (`ROADMAP.md`) serves as the foundation for release management, feature tracking, and specification linking. To ensure its integrity over time, Phase 21 specifies:
+1. A structured schema validator `build/validate_roadmap.pl` (written in pure Perl) verifying:
+   - Proper phase numbering and header syntax (`### Phase XX: ... [STATUS]`)
+   - Valid status values (`[COMPLETED]`, `[IN PROGRESS]`, `[NOT STARTED]`)
+   - Valid checkbox item formatting (`* [x] ...` or `* [ ] ...`)
+   - Verification of linked file references (`documentation/specifications/...`) ensuring zero broken links.
+2. Comprehensive TAP unit test `tests/unit_roadmap_validation.t` validating all schema checks.
+
+## 🧪 Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] `build/validate_roadmap.pl` implemented in pure Perl (Core modules only).
+- [x] Validates phase headers, statuses, checkboxes, and specification file existence.
+- [x] Returns exit code 0 on valid roadmap, non-zero with descriptive errors on invalid syntax or broken links.
+- [x] TAP test suite `tests/unit_roadmap_validation.t` passing.

+# Issue #1026: High Availability & Replication Auto-Discovery (Phase 22)
+
+**Type:** Feature / HA Architecture Discovery  
+**Component:** `mysqltuner.pl`, `tests/unit_topology_autodiscovery.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `ha`, `galera`, `innodb_cluster`, `replication`, `topology`, `discovery`  
+
+## 🎯 Description & Objectives
+MySQL architectures span standalone instances, synchronous Galera/PXC clusters, MySQL InnoDB Clusters (Group Replication), and classic asynchronous/semi-sync source-replica topologies.
+
+This phase implements automated topology discovery (`discover_cluster_topology()` in `mysqltuner.pl`) that:
+1. Identifies the operational topology (`Standalone`, `Galera Cluster / PXC`, `InnoDB Cluster / Group Replication`, `Replication Source`, `Replication Replica`).
+2. Extracts Galera cluster members from `wsrep_incoming_addresses` and validates quorum size (> 2 nodes).
+3. Analyzes replica lag (`Seconds_Behind_Master` / `Seconds_Behind_Source`), IO/SQL thread states.
+4. Stores findings in `$result{'Topology'}` and pushes actionable recommendations to `@generalrec` and `@sysrec`.
+
+## 🧪 Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] Subroutine `discover_cluster_topology()` implemented in `mysqltuner.pl`.
+- [x] Accurately classifies Galera, Group Replication, Source, Replica, and Standalone.
+- [x] Comprehensive TAP unit test `tests/unit_topology_autodiscovery.t` covering all topology archetypes.

+# Issue #1027: CI/CD Version Matrix Harmonization (Phase 28)
+
+**Type:** Feature / CI Infrastructure  
+**Component:** `build/ci_matrix.json`, `tests/unit_ci_matrix.t`, GitHub Actions workflows  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `ci`, `matrix`, `mysql`, `mariadb`, `supported-versions`  
+
+## 🎯 Description & Objectives
+Previously, test matrices across GitHub Actions and example generators had discrepancies and tested legacy/EOL versions while omitting LTS releases (MySQL 8.4 LTS, MySQL 9.x Innovation, MariaDB 10.11 LTS, MariaDB 11.4 LTS).
+
+This phase implements:
+1. `build/ci_matrix.json`: Machine-readable centralized definition of supported and legacy database versions for CI, integration tests, and example generation.
+2. Synchronizes version lists with `mysql_support.md` and `mariadb_support.md`.
+3. Dedicated TAP test suite `tests/unit_ci_matrix.t` validating matrix consistency, JSON syntax, and alignment with support policies.
+
+## 🧪 Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] Machine-readable `build/ci_matrix.json` created with supported MySQL and MariaDB LTS & current releases.
+- [x] TAP test suite `tests/unit_ci_matrix.t` validating JSON schema and version matching.

+# Issue #1028: Publish Pipeline Unification (Phase 29)
+
+**Type:** Feature / Release Pipeline  
+**Component:** `build/validate_release.pl`, `build/validate_release.sh`, `Makefile`, `tests/unit_release_validation.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `release`, `publish`, `validation`, `docker`, `ci`  
+
+## 🎯 Description & Objectives
+Previously, pre-publish validation was split and duplicated between GitHub Actions workflows (`docker_publish.yml` and `publish_release.yml`) and local shell scripts.
+
+This phase implements:
+1. `build/validate_release.pl`: Pure Perl unified pre-publish validation script checking:
+   - Presence of all critical release artifacts (`mysqltuner.pl`, `CURRENT_VERSION.txt`, `Changelog`, `releases/v<VERSION>.md`, `Dockerfile`, `Makefile`, `USAGE.md`, `README.md`)
+   - Strict version synchronization across all 6 reference locations
+   - Non-empty release notes and compliance with Conventional Commits
+2. `build/validate_release.sh`: Sourcing wrapper for CI workflows and Makefile.
+3. Makefile deprecation notice for local `publishtodockerhub.sh` in favor of validated CI workflows.
+4. Comprehensive TAP unit test `tests/unit_release_validation.t`.
+
+## 🧪 Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] `build/validate_release.pl` and `build/validate_release.sh` implemented in pure Perl/POSIX.
+- [x] All 6 version references and critical files audited.
+- [x] TAP test suite `tests/unit_release_validation.t` passing.

+# Issue #1029: Build Script Header Standardization (Phase 30.3)
+
+**Type:** Refactoring / Code Quality  
+**Component:** `build/*.pl`, `build/*.sh`, `build/check_build_headers.pl`, `tests/unit_build_headers.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `build`, `headers`, `standardization`, `clean-code`, `qa`  
+
+## 🎯 Description & Objectives
+To ensure maintainability, clear execution instructions, and traceability across the entire toolchain, Phase 30.3 specifies:
+1. A standard metadata header format for all build scripts (`build/*.pl`, `build/*.sh`):
+   - `Script:` Relative script path
+   - `Description:` Concise summary of purpose
+   - `Author:` Creator/Maintainer information
+   - `Dependencies:` List of dependencies (Perl Core modules, Docker, etc.)
+   - `Usage:` Exact invocation syntax and options
+2. Static header validator `build/check_build_headers.pl` in pure Perl auditing all scripts in `build/`.
+3. Dedicated TAP test suite `tests/unit_build_headers.t`.
+
+## 🧪 Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] All `build/*.pl` and `build/*.sh` scripts contain standard metadata headers.
+- [x] Linter `build/check_build_headers.pl` verifies header compliance.
+- [x] TAP test suite `tests/unit_build_headers.t` passing.

+# Issue #1030: Reference Link Auditing Pipeline (Phase 18.1)
+
+**Type:** Feature / Quality Assurance  
+**Component:** `build/check_doc_links.pl`, `tests/unit_doc_link_auditor.t`, `documentation/`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `documentation`, `links`, `integrity`, `audit`, `qa`  
+
+## Goal
+To guarantee documentation integrity across releases and prevent broken links or orphaned references across the MySQLTuner-perl repository.
+
+## Description & Objectives
+Phase 18.1 specifies:
+1. `build/check_doc_links.pl`: Pure Perl documentation reference linter that:
+   - Recursively parses all `.md` files in `documentation/`, `.agent/`, and the root repository directory (`README.md`, `USAGE.md`, `INTERNALS.md`, `ROADMAP.md`, `RULES.md`, `TESTS.md`, `MEMORY_DB.md`).
+   - Extracts all local markdown links and resolves them relative to file locations.
+   - Verifies target existence on disk and detects dead links.
+2. Integration into pre-commit and automated test suites.
+3. Dedicated TAP test suite `tests/unit_doc_link_auditor.t`.
+
+## Implementation Details
+- Implemented `build/check_doc_links.pl` in pure Perl using standard Core modules (`File::Find`, `File::Spec`, `File::Basename`, `Cwd`).
+- Audited all relative file references across 100+ documentation markdown files.
+- Integrated automated verification into test suite.
+
+## Verification
+- Run `perl build/check_doc_links.pl`
+- Run `prove tests/unit_doc_link_auditor.t`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] `build/check_doc_links.pl` implemented in pure Perl (Core only).
+- [x] All relative local documentation links verified across repo.
+- [x] TAP test suite `tests/unit_doc_link_auditor.t` passing.

+# Issue #1031: Dynamic Help Screen Anchors & KB References (Phase 18.2)
+
+**Type:** Feature / Documentation & CLI  
+**Component:** `mysqltuner.pl`, `tests/unit_doc_anchors.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `cli`, `help`, `anchors`, `documentation`, `kb`  
+
+## Goal
+To enrich MySQLTuner CLI help screens and tuning diagnostic sections with standardized documentation anchors and Knowledge Base URLs.
+
+## Description & Objectives
+Phase 18.2 specifies:
+1. `mysqltuner.pl` helper functions:
+   - `get_doc_anchor($topic)`: Returns standard reference anchor tags (e.g., `[REF: INNODB-BUFFER-POOL]`, `[REF: QUERY-CACHE]`, `[REF: REPLICATION-LAG]`, `[REF: SECURITY-AUTH]`, `[REF: CONNECTION-LIMITS]`).
+   - `get_doc_url($topic)`: Returns official MySQL / MariaDB documentation links for the corresponding topic.
+   - Dynamic enrichment in CLI help output (`--help` or `-h`).
+2. Preservation of single-file architecture and zero non-core dependencies.
+3. Dedicated TAP test suite `tests/unit_doc_anchors.t`.
+
+## Implementation Details
+- Implemented `get_doc_anchor()` and `get_doc_url()` in `mysqltuner.pl`.
+- Integrated reference anchors into diagnostic reporting blocks and CLI help screens.
+
+## Verification
+- Run `prove tests/unit_doc_anchors.t`
+- Run `perl mysqltuner.pl --help`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] `get_doc_anchor` and `get_doc_url` implemented in `mysqltuner.pl`.
+- [x] Reference anchors map cleanly to official database documentation.

+   - Valid Conventional Commit types (`chore`, `feat`, `fix`, `test`, `ci`, `docs`, `perf`, `refactor`, `style`) in Changelog and Release Notes.
+   - Strict category ordering: `chore`, `feat`, `fix`, `test`, `ci`, followed by others.
+   - Presence of issue references `(#\d+)` for traceability.
+   - Validation that `releases/v<VERSION>.md` conforms to the standard release schema.
+2. Integration into CI test runner and pre-commit checks.
+3. Dedicated TAP test suite `tests/unit_changelog_gate.t`.
+
+## Implementation Details
+- Implemented `build/check_changelog_gate.pl` in pure Perl using standard Core modules.
+- Added comprehensive checks for Changelog blocks and release notes markdown files.
+
+## Verification
+- Run `perl build/check_changelog_gate.pl`

+# Issue #1033: Pure Perl Interactive Release Orchestrator (Phase 20.1 & 20.2)
+
+**Type:** Feature / Release Automation  
+**Component:** `build/release_orchestrator.pl`, `tests/unit_release_orchestrator.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `release`, `automation`, `orchestrator`, `semver`, `build`  
+
+## Goal
+To provide a unified, automated release orchestration engine in pure Perl that calculates semantic version bumps, updates all 6 reference locations in lockstep, triggers release notes generation, and executes pre-publish validation.
+
+## Description & Objectives
+Phase 20 specifies:
+1. `build/release_orchestrator.pl`: Pure Perl orchestrator providing:
+   - Automated semantic version calculation: `--bump=micro` (2.9.3 -> 2.9.4), `--bump=minor` (2.9.3 -> 2.10.0), `--bump=major` (2.9.3 -> 3.0.0), or explicit `--version=X.Y.Z`.
+   - Simultaneous synchronization across all 6 reference locations (`CURRENT_VERSION.txt`, `mysqltuner.pl` [Header, `$tunerversion`, POD Name, POD VERSION], `Changelog`, `releases/v<VERSION>.md`).
+   - `--dry-run` simulation mode without file modifications.
+   - Automatic execution of `release_gen.pl` and `validate_release.pl`.
+2. Strict zero non-core CPAN dependency compliance.
+3. Dedicated TAP test suite `tests/unit_release_orchestrator.t`.
+
+## Implementation Details
+- Implemented `build/release_orchestrator.pl` using standard Perl Core modules (`Getopt::Long`, `File::Spec`, `Cwd`, `POSIX`).
+- Integrated automated verification and dry-run safety checks.
+
+## Verification
+- Run `perl build/release_orchestrator.pl --dry-run --bump=micro`
+- Run `prove tests/unit_release_orchestrator.t`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] `build/release_orchestrator.pl` implemented in pure Perl (Core only).
+- [x] Semantic version bumping and artifact synchronization supported.
+- [x] TAP test suite `tests/unit_release_orchestrator.t` passing.

+# Issue #1034: SQL Error Trace Logging & Query Safety (Phase 23.3)
+
+**Type:** Feature / Logging & Observability  
+**Component:** `mysqltuner.pl`, `tests/unit_sql_trace_logging.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `sql`, `logging`, `trace`, `diagnostics`, `engine`  
+
+## Goal
+To capture and record SQL execution anomalies and permission rejections to an internal trace log array/file instead of silent suppression, aiding DBAs in diagnosing grant or privilege restrictions.
+
+## Description & Objectives
+Phase 23.3 specifies:
+1. `mysqltuner.pl` improvements:
+   - Introduce global trace buffer `@main::sql_traces` and `--sqllog` / `--sqltrace` support.
+   - Implement `log_sql_trace($query, $error_msg, $status_code)`.
+   - Implement `get_sql_traces()` to retrieve recorded traces for programmatic export (JSON/MCP).
+   - Implement `format_sql_trace_report()` to render structured diagnostic traces.
+2. Zero non-core dependencies and strict single-file architecture.
+3. Dedicated TAP test suite `tests/unit_sql_trace_logging.t`.
+
+## Implementation Details
+- Added `log_sql_trace()`, `get_sql_traces()`, `clear_sql_traces()`, and `format_sql_trace_report()` to `mysqltuner.pl`.
+- Integrated trace capturing into query execution paths.
+
+## Verification
+- Run `prove tests/unit_sql_trace_logging.t`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] `log_sql_trace`, `get_sql_traces`, `clear_sql_traces` implemented in `mysqltuner.pl`.
+- [x] Trace buffer records failed queries with timestamps, errors, and status codes.
+- [x] TAP test suite `tests/unit_sql_trace_logging.t` passing.

+# Issue #1035: Unit Test Decomposition: `repro_native_parsing.t` (Phase 26.1)
+
+**Type:** Refactoring / Unit Test Decomposition  
+**Component:** `tests/repro_native_parsing.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `test`, `refactoring`, `decomposition`, `subtests`, `quality`  
+
+## Goal
+To decompose monolithic test assertions in `tests/repro_native_parsing.t` into structured, human-assimilable subtests according to the project constitution.
+
+## Description & Objectives
+Phase 26.1 specifies:
+1. Refactoring `tests/repro_native_parsing.t`:
+   - Decomposing into discrete `subtest` blocks:
+     1. Memory parsing (`/proc/meminfo` physical and swap calculations).
+     2. Kernel swappiness and VM parameter parsing.
+     3. System info and name resolution (`/etc/resolv.conf`) parsing.
+     4. Perl syntax and execution hygiene.
+   - Clear test plans per subtest (`plan tests => N`).
+2. Zero non-core dependencies and 100% PASS rate.
+
+## Implementation Details
+- Refactored `tests/repro_native_parsing.t` with structured Test::More subtests.
+
+## Verification
+- Run `prove tests/repro_native_parsing.t`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] Monolithic test split into 4 human-assimilable subtests.
+- [x] Explicit subtest plans and descriptive titles added.
+- [x] TAP test suite passing cleanly.

+# Issue #1036: Unit Test Decomposition: `test_issue_863.t` (Phase 26.2)
+
+**Type:** Refactoring / Unit Test Decomposition  
+**Component:** `tests/test_issue_863.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `test`, `refactoring`, `decomposition`, `subtests`, `cpanel`, `quality`  
+
+## Goal
+To decompose unstructured top-level assertions in `tests/test_issue_863.t` into structured, human-assimilable subtests according to the project constitution.
+
+## Description & Objectives
+Phase 26.2 specifies:
+1. Refactoring `tests/test_issue_863.t`:
+   - Decomposing into discrete `subtest` blocks:
+     1. cPanel environment with `skip_name_resolve=OFF` (compliant).
+     2. cPanel environment with `skip_name_resolve=ON` (non-compliant warning & KB reference).
+     3. Standard environment with `skip_name_resolve=OFF` (performance recommendation).
+     4. Standard environment with `skip_name_resolve=ON` (compliant).
+   - Clear test plans per subtest (`plan tests => N`).
+2. Zero non-core dependencies and 100% PASS rate.
+
+## Implementation Details
+- Refactored `tests/test_issue_863.t` with structured Test::More subtests covering all 4 matrix permutations.
+
+## Verification
+- Run `prove tests/test_issue_863.t`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] Unstructured test split into 4 human-assimilable subtests.
+- [x] Explicit subtest plans and descriptive titles added.
+- [x] TAP test suite passing cleanly.

+# Issue #1037: Performance Schema Stage & Wait Event Profiling (Phase 31)
+
+**Type:** Feature / Engine Diagnostic  
+**Component:** `mysqltuner.pl`, `tests/unit_pfs_stage_profiling.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `pfs`, `performance_schema`, `profiling`, `stages`, `waits`, `engine`  
+
+## Goal
+To audit database execution bottlenecks by analyzing Performance Schema stage and wait event summaries (`events_stages_summary_global_by_event_name` / `events_waits_summary_global_by_event_name`), detecting excessive temporary table creation on disk, sorting bottlenecks, and lock waits.
+
+## Description & Objectives
+Phase 31 specifies:
+1. `mysqltuner.pl` improvements:
+   - Implement `audit_pfs_stage_profiling($pfs_stages_ref, $pfs_waits_ref)`.
+   - Detect high-latency stage events: `stage/sql/Creating tmp table`, `stage/sql/Sorting result`, `stage/sql/Sending data`.
+   - Detect high-latency wait events: `wait/synch/mutex/innodb/*`, `wait/io/file/innodb/*`.
+   - Provide structured recommendations when excessive wait latencies or disk temp table stages are detected.
+2. Zero non-core dependencies and strict single-file architecture.
+3. Dedicated TAP test suite `tests/unit_pfs_stage_profiling.t`.
+
+## Implementation Details
+- Implemented `audit_pfs_stage_profiling` in `mysqltuner.pl`.
+- Added test coverage in `tests/unit_pfs_stage_profiling.t`.
+
+## Verification
+- Run `prove tests/unit_pfs_stage_profiling.t`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] `audit_pfs_stage_profiling` implemented in `mysqltuner.pl`.
+- [x] Accurate stage event and wait bottleneck detection.
+- [x] TAP test suite `tests/unit_pfs_stage_profiling.t` passing.

+# Issue #1038: InnoDB Adaptive Hash Index (AHI) & Memory Partitions Audit (Phase 32)
+
+**Type:** Feature / Engine Diagnostic  
+**Component:** `mysqltuner.pl`, `tests/unit_innodb_ahi.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `innodb`, `ahi`, `adaptive_hash_index`, `partitions`, `memory`, `engine`  
+
+## Goal
+To audit InnoDB Adaptive Hash Index (AHI) efficiency, evaluating search hit ratios vs overhead, and identifying mutex contention on `btr_search_latch` to recommend optimal partition sizing (`innodb_adaptive_hash_index_parts`) or safe deactivation.
+
+## Description & Objectives
+Phase 32 specifies:
+1. `mysqltuner.pl` improvements:
+   - Implement `audit_innodb_ahi($ahi_enabled, $ahi_searches, $non_ahi_searches, $ahi_parts, $bp_instances)`.
+   - Calculate AHI search ratio: `ahi_searches / (ahi_searches + non_ahi_searches) * 100`.
+   - Detect low efficiency (<15% AHI hit ratio on active workloads) and recommend disabling AHI to free buffer pool memory and eliminate latch contention.
+   - Detect single-partition bottleneck (`innodb_adaptive_hash_index_parts = 1`) on multi-core systems and recommend increasing partitions to match buffer pool instances (up to 8 or 16).
+2. Zero non-core dependencies and strict single-file architecture.
+3. Dedicated TAP test suite `tests/unit_innodb_ahi.t`.
+
+## Implementation Details
+- Implemented `audit_innodb_ahi` in `mysqltuner.pl`.
+- Added test coverage in `tests/unit_innodb_ahi.t`.
+
+## Verification
+- Run `prove tests/unit_innodb_ahi.t`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] `audit_innodb_ahi` implemented in `mysqltuner.pl`.
+- [x] Accurate AHI ratio calculation and partition recommendations.
+- [x] TAP test suite `tests/unit_innodb_ahi.t` passing.

+# Issue #1039: TLS/SSL Cipher Suite & Protocol Deprecation Audit (Phase 33)
+
+**Type:** Feature / Security Diagnostic  
+**Component:** `mysqltuner.pl`, `tests/unit_tls_ciphers.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `security`, `ssl`, `tls`, `ciphers`, `protocols`, `engine`  
+
+## Goal
+To audit database SSL/TLS configuration, identifying insecure deprecated protocols (TLSv1, TLSv1.1) and legacy weak ciphers (RC4, DES, 3DES, MD5) to recommend strict TLSv1.2/TLSv1.3 enforcement.
+
+## Description & Objectives
+Phase 33 specifies:
+1. `mysqltuner.pl` improvements:
+   - Implement `audit_tls_ciphers_protocols($have_ssl, $tls_version, $ssl_cipher)`.
+   - Flag deprecated TLS protocols: `TLSv1`, `TLSv1.1`.
+   - Flag weak cipher algorithms: `RC4`, `DES`, `3DES`, `MD5`, `EXPORT`, `NULL`, `ADH`.
+   - Recommend setting `tls_version='TLSv1.2,TLSv1.3'` and configuring modern cipher suites.
+2. Zero non-core dependencies and strict single-file architecture.
+3. Dedicated TAP test suite `tests/unit_tls_ciphers.t`.
+
+## Implementation Details
+- Implemented `audit_tls_ciphers_protocols` in `mysqltuner.pl`.
+- Added test coverage in `tests/unit_tls_ciphers.t`.
+
+## Verification
+- Run `prove tests/unit_tls_ciphers.t`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] `audit_tls_ciphers_protocols` implemented in `mysqltuner.pl`.
+- [x] Accurate detection of deprecated TLS versions and weak ciphers.
+- [x] TAP test suite `tests/unit_tls_ciphers.t` passing.

+# Issue #1040: Table Definition Cache & Open Tables Saturation Audit (Phase 34)
+
+**Type:** Feature / Engine Diagnostic  
+**Component:** `mysqltuner.pl`, `tests/unit_table_definition_cache.t`  
+**Assignee:** jmrenouard  
+**Labels:** `engine`, `cache`, `table_definition_cache`, `thrashing`, `performance`  
+
+## Goal
+To audit database `table_definition_cache` usage, detecting cache capacity saturation and frequent table definition eviction thrashing (`Opened_table_definitions`/sec) to optimize dictionary cache performance.
+
+## Description & Objectives
+Phase 34 specifies:
+1. `mysqltuner.pl` improvements:
+   - Implement `audit_table_definition_cache($table_definition_cache, $open_table_definitions, $opened_table_definitions, $uptime)`.
+   - Calculate cache fill ratio (`$open_table_definitions / $table_definition_cache * 100`).
+   - Calculate eviction rate (`$opened_table_definitions / $uptime`).
+   - Flag saturation when fill ratio >= 90% and eviction rate indicates continuous table definition reloading (> 5 definitions/sec).
+   - Recommend increasing `table_definition_cache` proportionally to prevent FRM/.SDI reload overhead.
+2. Zero non-core dependencies and strict single-file architecture.
+3. Dedicated TAP test suite `tests/unit_table_definition_cache.t`.
+
+## Implementation Details
+- Implemented `audit_table_definition_cache` in `mysqltuner.pl`.
+- Added test coverage in `tests/unit_table_definition_cache.t`.
+
+## Verification
+- Run `prove tests/unit_table_definition_cache.t`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] `audit_table_definition_cache` implemented in `mysqltuner.pl`.
+- [x] Accurate detection of table definition cache thrashing and saturation.
+- [x] TAP test suite `tests/unit_table_definition_cache.t` passing.

+# 🏛️ Architecture & Reference Guide: Autonomous Issue Triage System
+
+## 1. 🎯 Executive Summary & Mission
+
+The **MySQLTuner Autonomous Issue Triage System** provides an automated, reproducible, and verifiable engineering pipeline for triaging, diagnosing, reproducing, and resolving GitHub issues submitted to the `jmrenouard/MySQLTuner-perl` repository.
+
+### Key Tenets
+1. **Maintainer Shield**: Tickets authored by maintainer `@jmrenouard` are strictly held (`triage:maintainer-review`) and never auto-closed with canned responses.
+2. **Deterministic Verification**: Every resolution must generate a real, standalone Perl `Test::More` test file (`tests/test_issue_XXX.t`) executing structured subtests.
+3. **Traceability**: All comments, closures, and diagnostic reports reference exact commit SHAs, reproducible shell scripts, and official DBMS documentation.
+4. **Resilient Ingestion**: Cascading multi-transport architecture (GraphQL v4 $\rightarrow$ REST v3 $\rightarrow$ `gh` CLI $\rightarrow$ Offline Replay).
+5. **Zero-Dependency Core**: All client code adheres to standard Python 3.10+ library modules and Perl Core modules.
+
+---
+
+## 2. 🧩 6-Module Subsystem Architecture
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+    A[GitHub Issue Webhook / Cron] --> B[Module 1: Ingestion & Sanitizer]
+    B --> C[Module 2: Diagnostic Engine]
+    C --> D[Module 3: Test Generator & Proof]
+    D --> E[Module 4: Synthesis & Formatter]
+    E --> F[Module 5: Safety & Governance]
+    F --> G[Module 6: Orchestrator & CLI]
+    G --> H[GitHub API / CI Artifacts]
+```
+
+### Module 1: Ingestion & Sanitizer (`build/issue_triage/github_ingest.py`, `sanitizer.py`)
+- Sanitizes ANSI escape sequences and dangerous HTML.
+- Redacts sensitive secrets (AWS keys, GitHub tokens, MySQL credentials, private keys).
+- Manages rate-limiting with exponential jitter backoff and checkpoint pagination.
+
+### Module 2: Analysis & Diagnostic Engine (`build/issue_triage/diagnostic_engine.py`)
+- **Taxonomy Resolver**: Disambiguates MySQL, MariaDB (including `5.5.5-` prefix), Percona, Aurora, RDS, and Cloud SQL.
+- **Expert Diagnostics**:
+  - Memory Footprint & OOM Risk Calculator (`memory_footprint_calculator.py`)
+  - InnoDB Buffer Pool & Instances Sizing (`innodb_expert_diagnostics.py`)
+  - Table Cache & System File Descriptors (`table_cache_diagnostics.py`)
+  - HA & Replication Topologies (Galera, Async, Semi-Sync) (`ha_replication_diagnostics.py`)
+  - Security, TLS & Authentication (`security_auth_diagnostics.py`)
+  - Performance Schema & Query Profiling (`pfs_query_diagnostics.py`)
+  - Variable Deprecation Lifecycle Matrix (`deprecation_matrix.py`)
+
+### Module 3: Test Generation & Proof Validation (`build/issue_triage/test_generator.py`)
+- Synthesizes compliant Perl `Test::More` scripts with structured `subtest` blocks.
+- Validates syntax via `perl -c` and execution via `Test::Harness` / `prove`.
+- Generates reproducible Docker multi-DB scenarios (`docker_scenario_generator.py`).
+
+### Module 4: Contextual Synthesis & Formatter (`build/issue_triage/response_synthesizer.py`)
+- Formats structured Markdown replies with warm community gratitude for third-party developers.
+- Generates copy-pasteable `my.cnf` / `mariadb.conf.d` configuration snippets with rationale comments.
+- Embeds verifiable test links anchored to specific Git commit SHAs.
+
+### Module 5: Governance & Invariant Safety Checklist (`build/issue_triage/pre_closing_checklist.py`, `closing_governance.py`)
+- Audits 7 hard invariants before any mutation or closure:
+  1. `INVARIANT_AUTHOR_NON_MAINTAINER`
+  2. `INVARIANT_SYNTAX_VALID`
+  3. `INVARIANT_TEST_PASSING`
+  4. `INVARIANT_DOC_LINK_PRESENT`
+  5. `INVARIANT_RESPONSE_NON_EMPTY`
+  6. `INVARIANT_COMMIT_PINNED`
+  7. `INVARIANT_SANITIZATION_PASSED`
+
+### Module 6: CLI & Workflow Orchestrator (`build/issue_triage/triage_orchestrator.py`, `.github/workflows/issue_triage.yml`)
+- Provides unified CLI with `--dry-run`, `--issue`, `--offline`, `--repo`, and `--sync-upstream`.
+- Seamlessly integrates with GitHub Actions for automated event-driven triage.
+
+---
+
+## 3. 🔄 Upstream Synchronization (`major/MySQLTuner-perl`)
+
+Per project governance rules, every modification and new feature developed for `jmrenouard/MySQLTuner-perl` can be cross-synchronized with the upstream `major/MySQLTuner-perl` repository:
+- **Assignee Rule**: All synchronized upstream issues are automatically assigned to `@jmrenouard`.
+- **Classification & Tags**: Commits and pull requests are mapped to upstream labels (`bug`, `enhancement`, `documentation`, `performance`, `db:mysql84`, `db:mariadb114`).
+- **Cross-Referenced Proofs**: Upstream responses link directly to verifiable test proof artifacts (`tests/test_issue_XXX.t`) and Git commit SHAs in `jmrenouard/MySQLTuner-perl`.
+- **Maintainer Shield**: Issues created by `@jmrenouard` in `major/MySQLTuner-perl` maintain the maintainer shield (`triage:maintainer-review`) and are protected against automated closing.
+
+---
+
+## 4. 💻 Developer Commands & Usage
+
+```bash
+# Run all Python and Perl issue triage unit tests
+make test-triage
+
+# Run issue triage in dry-run mode on downstream (first 10 issues)
+make issue-triage LIMIT=10
+
+# Run issue triage in offline mode using mock fixtures
+make issue-triage-offline
+
+# Run upstream triage against major/MySQLTuner-perl (live / dry-run)
+make issue-triage-major LIMIT=10
+
+# Run upstream triage against major/MySQLTuner-perl using offline fixtures
+make issue-triage-major-offline
+
+# Synchronize local modifications to major/MySQLTuner-perl with jmrenouard assignment
+make sync-major-issues
+
+# Target a specific issue in live mode
+python3 build/issue_triage/triage_orchestrator.py --issue 881 --live

-# AI Agent Integration Guide & Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server
+# AI Agent Integration Guide, Model Context Protocol (MCP) & Agent Skills
 
-This document explains how AI coding assistants, autonomous database agents, and developer workflows can utilize MySQLTuner via the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** or direct `--agent-json` CLI queries to audit and optimize database instances safely.
+This document provides exhaustive documentation for integrating MySQLTuner with Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents, autonomous database administrators (DBAs), and developer environments using:
+1. **Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server** (runtime execution & resource observability)
+2. **AI Agent Skills Subsystem** (specialized diagnostic & domain heuristics)
+3. **Direct CLI Telemetry (`--agent-json`)** (high-speed structured ingestion)
 
 ---
 
-## 🚀 Overview of Integration Modes
+## 🚀 Architectural Overview
 
-MySQLTuner supports two native modes for machine integration:
-1. **Direct CLI (`--agent-json` mode)**: High-speed, zero-dependency JSON output representing actionable recommendations. Excellent for scripts and one-off agent executions.
-2. **MCP Server (stdio transport)**: Standardized protocol interface exposing tools and resources for LLM agents to query state, run audits, and execute rollback-enabled database optimizations.
+MySQLTuner provides a two-tier AI architecture separating **Heuristic Intelligence** (Skills) from **Runtime Execution & Telemetry** (MCP & CLI):

-### Output Schema Definition
-Each recommendation returned in the `findings` list adheres to the following structure:
-
-- **`id`**: Unique deterministic identifier for the recommendation type (e.g., `innodb_buffer_pool_size_adjust`).
-- **`topic`**: Category of the finding (`Performance`, `Security`, `Reliability`, `Modeling`, `Replication`).
-- **`description`**: Human-readable explanation of the issue.
-- **`impact_score`**: Estimated benefit score from `1` (lowest) to `10` (highest).
-- **`risk_level`**: Safety assessment associated with applying the recommendation (`Low`, `Medium`, `High`, `Critical`).
-- **`risk_description`**: Potential side effects (e.g. table locks, memory consumption).
-- **`requires_restart`**: Boolean (`true`/`false`) indicating if the change requires restarting the database service.
-- **`expected_outcome`**: Predicted benefit (e.g. "Reduces disk I/O").
-- **`action`**: Object containing:
-  - `type`: Either `SQL` (can be executed live) or `Config` (requires editing `my.cnf`).
-  - `statement`: The exact statement to execute or configuration line to write.
-  - `rollback_statement`: The exact command to revert the action to its original baseline state.
-
-### Actionable JSON Output Example
+---
+
+## 1. Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server
+
+The MySQLTuner MCP server ([build/mcp_server.py](file:///build/mcp_server.py)) implements the open standard [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) via `stdio` transport using JSON-RPC 2.0.
+
+### 🛠️ Exposed MCP Tools (Actions)
+
+Agents invoke these JSON-RPC methods to perform audits, inspect state, and apply safe, reversible database modifications:
+
+#### 1. `get_latest_audit`
+* **Purpose**: Retrieves cached audit findings instantly without querying the database server.
+* **Arguments**: None.
+* **Returns**: JSON payload of findings, severity levels, and actionable statements.
+
+#### 2. `run_audit`
+* **Purpose**: Triggers a live execution of `mysqltuner.pl --agent-json` and updates the cache.
+* **Arguments**: None.
+* **Returns**: Real-time diagnostic report with updated findings.
+
+#### 3. `apply_recommendation`

+
+# AI Skill: InnoDB Buffer Pool Sizing & Efficiency Analysis
+
+## 🧠 Purpose & Operational Objectives
+The `analyze_buffer_pool` skill enables autonomous DBA agents to diagnose memory pressure, caching efficiency, and dirty page write stalls.
 
-## 🧠 Step-by-Step AI Agent Playbook
+## 📋 Preconditions & Context
+- Server running MySQL 5.5+ or MariaDB 10.0+ with InnoDB enabled.
+- Read-only execution: does not execute modifying statements directly.
 
-An AI agent performing database maintenance should follow this operational path:
+## 🛠️ Input Parameters
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| `target_ram_percentage` | number | No | `75` | Target percentage of host RAM for InnoDB (50-85%). |
+| `include_dirty_pages` | boolean | No | `true` | Include dirty page write stall analysis. |
+
+## 📊 Evaluation Criteria & Thresholds
+1. **Hit Ratio Formula**: ((read_requests - reads) / read_requests) * 100
+   - >= 99%: OPTIMAL
+   - 95% - 99%: ACCEPTABLE
+   - < 95%: UNDERSIZED (Triggers disk I/O bottleneck)
+2. **Dirty Page Ratio**: (pages_dirty / pages_total) * 100
+   - > 75%: Checkpoint flushing stall risk.
+
+## 🛡️ Guardrails & Safety
+- Dynamic changes: `SET GLOBAL innodb_buffer_pool_size = ...` (MySQL 5.7+ / MariaDB 10.2+).
+- Flag `requires_restart: true` for legacy versions or instance count changes.
+```
+
+---
+
+### ✍️ Authoring a New Agent Skill
+
+To contribute a new skill to the MySQLTuner repository:
+1. Create a dedicated directory under `.agent/skills/<skill-name>/`.
+2. Add a `SKILL.md` file with standard YAML frontmatter (`name`, `description`).
+3. Define the **Purpose**, **Preconditions**, **Input Parameters**, **Evaluation Formulas**, and **Safety Guardrails**.
+4. Synchronize the agent index by running the `/doc-sync` workflow.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Direct CLI Integration: `--agent-json`
+
+When running with `--agent-json`, `mysqltuner.pl` suppresses human ANSI terminal formatting and returns structured JSON to stdout:
+
+```bash
+perl mysqltuner.pl --agent-json --host 127.0.0.1 --user root --pass secret
+```
+
+### JSON Finding Schema
+```json

+  "findings": [
+    {

+
+### System Prompt for Autonomous Agents
+```markdown
+You are a Principal Database Reliability Engineer operating through the MySQLTuner MCP server and Agent Skills.
+
+Operational Directives:
+1. Baseline First: Always run `get_latest_audit` before formulating tuning advice.
+2. Skill-Driven Evaluation: Use domain rules from `.agent/skills/` (e.g. `analyze_buffer_pool`, `detect-fragmented-tables`) to validate thresholds.
+3. Safe Remediation: Only propose `apply_recommendation` when a deterministic `rollback_statement` is provided and user consent is granted.
+4. Validation Loop: Post-change, call `run_audit` to verify KPI health improvement. If latency or error metrics regress, immediately trigger `rollback_recommendation`.
 ```
 
-### Agent Prompt Instructions Template (Copy-Paste for LLM Context)
-> "You have access to the MySQLTuner MCP server. Your goal is to analyze database performance, propose optimizations, and execute them safely.
-> 1. Run `get_latest_audit` to fetch current recommendations.
-> 2. For each recommendation, analyze the `impact_score`, `risk_level`, and `requires_restart`.
-> 3. Highlight recommendations with high `impact_score` (>=7) and safe `risk_level` (Low or Medium).
-> 4. Present these recommendations to the user, showing the `description`, the exact `statement` to apply, and the `rollback_statement`.
-> 5. Wait for user consent.
-> 6. After confirmation, call `apply_recommendation` to execute the SQL.
-> 7. If the user complains of issues or latency spikes, run `rollback_recommendation` immediately with the returned `statement_id` to restore original performance levels."

+# ROLE & MISSION
+You are an Autonomous Deterministic Engineering Engine and Principal Adversarial Auditor. Your mission is to execute a complete lifecycle of system design, implementation, formal verification, and hardening on the target scope without human intervention until the Definition of Done (DoD) is strictly met.
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 1. CONVERGENCE CRITERIA, BUDGET & TOLERANCE (DoD)
+- **Iteration Budget:** 6 to 40 passes maximum.
+- **Effort Allocation:**
+  - Contracts, Types & Schemas: $\le 15\%$
+  - Pure Domain Logic & Invariants: $\ge 40\%$
+  - Infrastructure, I/O & Resilience: $\ge 25\%$
+  - Adversarial Audit & Hardening: $\ge 20\%$
+- **Mandatory Completion Thresholds:**
+  1. Formal adversarial audit score $\ge 98/100$ maintained across 2 consecutive passes.
+  2. Zero critical (🔴) or major (🟡) residual vulnerabilities/technical debts.
+  3. Exit code 0 across 100% of deterministic test suites and invariant assertions.
+  4. Mutation Testing Score ($MS$) $\ge 85\%$ (0 surviving mutants on critical execution paths).
+  5. Traceability matrix covered at $100\%$ (every artifact maps to a unique $[REQ\text{-}XXX]$ ID).
+- **Stagnation Circuit Breaker (Anti-Local Minima):** If $\Delta \text{Score} < 2\text{ pts}$ over 2 consecutive passes $\to$ mandate an immediate structural refactoring (*Strategy Mutation*). Cosmetic or superficial micro-optimizations are strictly prohibited.
+- **Rollback Protocol & RCA:** If pass $N$ regresses by $> 3\text{ pts}$ compared to pass $N-1$:
+  - Immediately revert modifications (`git reset --hard`).
+  - Document a 3-point Root Cause Analysis (Failure Mechanism $\to$ Invalidated Hypothesis $\to$ Structural Countermeasure).
+
+---
+
+## 📦 2. TOPOLOGICAL ORDERING (DAG INVARIANTS)
+Every file, type, and component must be linked to an explicit requirement ID and processed strictly in the following dependency order:
+1. **[REQ & SCH] Formal Contracts & Types:** Strict algebraic/discriminated data types, airtight schema validation, zero `any` types, zero implicit or unsafe type casting.
+2. **[DOM] Pure Domain Logic:** Side-effect-free pure functions, finite-state machines, strict domain invariants, explicit error handling via monadic types (`Result<T, E>`), zero I/O or platform dependencies.
+3. **[INFRA] Hermetic Adapters & I/O:** Resilient network and storage clients (exponential backoff with jitter, circuit breakers, strict timeouts), total memory isolation, explicit dependency injection for system clock, entropy, and environment state.
+4. **[TST] Adversarial Test Suites:** Unit tests, Property-Based Testing (boundary fuzzing, shrinkers), mutation suites, and chaos I/O fault-injection simulations.
+
+---
+
+## 🔁 3. CLOSED-LOOP EXECUTION PROTOCOL (PASS N)
+
+### Phase 1 — Contextualization & Traceability
+- Ingest the previous snapshot, contextual diff, and top-priority directive from pass $N-1$.
+- Query the traceability matrix to isolate the target formal requirement $[REQ\text{-}XXX]$ assigned to the current DAG node.
+
+### Phase 2 — Deterministic Implementation
+- Produce 100% complete production code, interfaces, adapters, and tests.
+- **Strictly prohibit truncated code, placeholders (`TODO`, `FIXME`), or omissions.**
+- Maintain cyclomatic complexity $M \le 8$ per function.
+
+### Phase 3 — Deterministic Validation & Fuzzing
+- Execute static analysis with zero warnings/linting errors.
+- Run Property-Based Testing suites and evaluate the exact Mutation Score.
+
+### Phase 4 — Epistemic Adversarial Audit (100 Points)
+Audit raw code from the perspective of an uncompromising Principal Security & Systems Auditor:
+- **Axis 1 — Security, Robustness & Input Invariants (OWASP, Bounds, Memory Safety):** ... / 25
+  *(Deduction 5–15 pts: Missing bounds checks, permissive parsers, injection vectors, exposed mutable state).*
+- **Axis 2 — Concurrency, I/O & Resource Lifecycle (Non-blocking I/O, Leaks, Locks):** ... / 25
+  *(Deduction 5–15 pts: Memory leaks, unreleased descriptors, event-loop blocking, race conditions, missing backoff/timeouts).*
+- **Axis 3 — Testing Rigor & Mutant Eradication (Property Testing, Coverage, Assertions):** ... / 25
+  *(Deduction 5–15 pts: Tautological tests, permissive mocks, incomplete assertion vectors, surviving mutants).*
+- **Axis 4 — Architecture, Modularity & Traceability (Hexagonal/DDD, REQ Mapping):** ... / 25
+  *(Deduction 5–15 pts: Hidden side effects, I/O-domain coupling, orphan or untracked requirements).*
+- **Overall Score:** ... / 100 *(Every deduction must explicitly reference the target file, exact line number, and a concrete counter-example / attack payload).*
+
+### Phase 5 — Standardized Logging & Compaction
+Record the iteration state into `walkthrough.md` using this immutable format:
+
+```markdown
+#### 📝 Walkthrough — Pass [N] / [Max Budget]
+- **DAG Node & Requirements:** [e.g., DOM-01 / REQ-AUTH-02]
+- **Synthetic Diff:** [Concise technical summary in max 2 sentences]
+- **Audit Scoring:** [Score / 100] — (Sec: [..] | Perf: [..] | Tests: [..] | Arch: [..])
+- **Mutation Testing Score:** [MS % | Killed / Total Generated]
+- **Defect Registry:**
+  - 🔴 [Critical blocker, invariant breach, or vulnerability]
+  - 🟡 [Technical debt or sub-optimal implementation]
+- *(Optional on Rollback)* **RCA:** [Failure Mechanism] → [Invalidated Hypothesis] → [Countermeasure]
+- **Pass N+1 Imperative Directive:** [Targeted, non-negotiable operational priority]

+## 🔌 Partie 1 : Serveur Model Context Protocol (MCP)
+
+Le serveur MCP ([build/mcp_server.py](file:///build/mcp_server.py)) implémente le standard ouvert [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) sur le transport standard (`stdio`) via le protocole JSON-RPC 2.0.
+
+### 🛠️ Outils MCP Exposés (Actions)
+
+Les agents IA peuvent invoquer ces méthodes JSON-RPC pour auditer et appliquer des ajustements réversibles :
+
+#### 1. `get_latest_audit`
+* **Objectif** : Récupère instantanément le dernier rapport mis en cache sans solliciter le serveur de base de données.
+* **Arguments** : Aucun.
+* **Résultat** : Schéma JSON des constatations, niveaux d'impact et instructions exécutables.
+
+#### 2. `run_audit`
+* **Objectif** : Déclenche une exécution à la demande de `mysqltuner.pl --agent-json`, rafraîchit le cache et renvoie le diagnostic en temps réel.
+* **Arguments** : Aucun.
+
+#### 3. `apply_recommendation`
+* **Objectif** : Applique un ajustement SQL dynamique (`SET GLOBAL`) et enregistre un point de restauration (snapshot) pour annulation.
+* **Arguments** :
+  - `statement` (chaîne, requis) : Commande SQL exacte à exécuter (ex. `SET GLOBAL max_connections = 300;`).
+  - `variable_name` (chaîne, optionnel) : Nom de la variable pour sauvegarder la valeur initiale.
+* **Résultat** : Objet contenant l'identifiant de transaction (`statement_id`).
+
+#### 4. `rollback_recommendation`
+* **Objectif** : Rétablit l'état antérieur d'une variable en exécutant la commande inverse enregistrée.
+* **Arguments** :
+  - `statement_id` (chaîne, requis) : Identifiant de la transaction retourné par `apply_recommendation`.

-## ⚡ Mode 1: Direct CLI Machine Integration (`--agent-json`)
+## 🔌 Part 1: Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server Interface
+
+The MySQLTuner MCP server ([build/mcp_server.py](file:///build/mcp_server.py)) implements the open [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) specification over standard input/output (`stdio`) transport using JSON-RPC 2.0.
+
+### 🛠️ Exposed MCP Tools (Actions)
+
+Agents invoke these JSON-RPC methods to interact dynamically with the database environment:
+
+#### 1. `get_latest_audit`
+* **Purpose**: Retrieves cached audit findings instantly without sending queries to the database server.
+* **Arguments**: None.
+* **Response Payload**:
+  ```json
+  {
+    "status": "success",
+    "timestamp": "2026-08-30T10:00:00Z",
+    "findings_count": 5,
+    "findings": [
+      {
+        "id": "innodb_buffer_pool_size_adjust",
+        "topic": "Performance",
+        "impact_score": 9,
+        "risk_level": "Medium",
+        "action": {
+          "type": "SQL",
+          "statement": "SET GLOBAL innodb_buffer_pool_size = 1073741824;",
+          "rollback_statement": "SET GLOBAL innodb_buffer_pool_size = 134217728;"
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+  ```
+
+#### 2. `run_audit`
+* **Purpose**: Triggers a live on-demand execution of `mysqltuner.pl --agent-json`, refreshes internal cache stores, and returns real-time findings.
+* **Arguments**: None.
+* **Response**: Fresh diagnostic findings and calculated health scores.
+
+#### 3. `apply_recommendation`
+* **Purpose**: Applies a safe, dynamic SQL tuning adjustment (`SET GLOBAL`) and registers a transactional snapshot for instant rollback.
+* **Arguments**:
+  - `statement` (string, required): The SQL command to execute (e.g. `SET GLOBAL max_connections = 300;`).
+  - `variable_name` (string, optional): Target variable to capture pre-execution baseline.
+* **Response**:
+  ```json
+  {
+    "status": "applied",
+    "statement_id": "tx_20260830_001",
+    "statement": "SET GLOBAL max_connections = 300;",
+    "original_value": "151"
+  }
+  ```
+
+#### 4. `rollback_recommendation`
+* **Purpose**: Reverts a previously executed command using recorded transaction state.
+* **Arguments**:
+  - `statement_id` (string, required): The transaction identifier returned by `apply_recommendation`.
+* **Response**:
+  ```json
+  {
+    "status": "rolled_back",
+    "statement_id": "tx_20260830_001",
+    "restored_statement": "SET GLOBAL max_connections = 151;"
+  }
+  ```
+

+
+### 📊 Exposed MCP Resources (Observability)
+
+Agents can query the following URI resources to read telemetry without executing methods:
+
+| URI Resource | Content Type | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `mysqltuner://reports/latest.json` | `application/json` | Accesses the latest cached JSON report containing findings and DB variables status. |
+| `mysqltuner://reports/latest.html` | `text/html` | Retrieves the interactive HTML analytics report (pgBadger-style visuals). |
+| `mysqltuner://indicators/summary.json` | `application/json` | Provides high-level KPI indicators (Performance, Security, Resilience scores). |
+
+---
+
+## 🧠 Part 2: AI Agent Skills Subsystem
+
+Skills represent structured domain knowledge capsules located in `.agent/skills/`. While MCP tools provide the **execution mechanism**, Agent Skills provide the **diagnostic intelligence, mathematical evaluation formulas, and safety guardrails**.

+```
+
+#### 1. `analyze_buffer_pool` ([`SKILL.md`](file:///.agent/skills/analyze-buffer-pool/SKILL.md))
+* **Objective**: Analyzes memory pressure, caching efficiency, and dirty page write stalls in InnoDB.
+* **Formulas**:
+  - Buffer Pool Hit Ratio: $\frac{\text{read\_requests} - \text{reads}}{\text{read\_requests}} \times 100$ ($\ge 99\%$ is optimal).
+  - Dirty Page Ratio: $\frac{\text{pages\_dirty}}{\text{pages\_total}} \times 100$ ($> 75\%$ indicates flushing stalls).
+* **Recommendations**: Proposes dynamic `SET GLOBAL innodb_buffer_pool_size` adjustments and multi-instance splitting (`innodb_buffer_pool_instances >= 8` for pools $> 1\text{GB}$).
+
+#### 2. `cli-execution-mastery` ([`SKILL.md`](file:///.agent/skills/cli-execution-mastery/SKILL.md))
+* **Objective**: Selects optimal CLI parameters for database connections across TCP/IP, Unix sockets, SSH tunnels, and container boundaries.
+* **Guardrails**: Automatic password masking and validation of credential flags.
+
+#### 3. `db-version-rift` ([`SKILL.md`](file:///.agent/skills/db-version-rift/SKILL.md))
+* **Objective**: Bridges behavioral and variable differences between MySQL (5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 8.0, 8.4 LTS, 9.x) and MariaDB (10.3 to 11.8 LTS).
+* **Usage**: Prevents referencing deprecated or engine-specific variables (e.g. `query_cache_size` removed in MySQL 8.0, alive in MariaDB).
+
+#### 4. `detect-fragmented-tables` ([`SKILL.md`](file:///.agent/skills/detect-fragmented-tables/SKILL.md))
+* **Objective**: Identifies tables with high data/index fragmentation and calculates reclaimable disk capacity.
+* **Formulas**: Reclaimable Space = `Data_free`, Fragmentation Ratio = $\frac{\text{Data\_free}}{\text{Data\_length} + \text{Index\_length}} \times 100$.
+* **Safety**: Evaluates storage engine locking implications (`InnoDB` online vs `MyISAM` table locks) before generating `OPTIMIZE TABLE` or `ALTER TABLE ... ENGINE=InnoDB` commands.
+
+#### 5. `diagnose-replication-lag` ([`SKILL.md`](file:///.agent/skills/diagnose-replication-lag/SKILL.md))
+* **Objective**: Diagnoses replication delay, IO/SQL thread errors, GTID consistency, and multi-threaded parallel replication worker saturation.
+* **Metrics Analyzed**: `Seconds_Behind_Master`, `Slave_IO_Running`, `Slave_SQL_Running`, `Replica_parallel_workers`.
+
+#### 6. `legacy-perl-patterns` ([`SKILL.md`](file:///.agent/skills/legacy-perl-patterns/SKILL.md))
+* **Objective**: Ensures all Perl modifications preserve strict compatibility with legacy Perl versions (Perl 5.8+) without third-party CPAN dependencies.
+
+#### 7. `testing-orchestration` ([`SKILL.md`](file:///.agent/skills/testing-orchestration/SKILL.md))
+* **Objective**: Enforces tripartite test validation (`--verbose`, `--container`, `--dumpdir`), lab validation, and subtest decomposition.
+
+---
+
+### 🧩 Creating a Custom Agent Skill
+
+To author a new domain skill:
+1. Create `.agent/skills/<skill-id>/SKILL.md`.
+2. Add YAML frontmatter:
+   ```yaml
+   ---
+   name: custom_skill_name
+   description: Brief description of the diagnostic skill.
+   trigger: explicit_call
+   category: skill
+   ---
+   ```
+3. Include sections: `## 🧠 Purpose`, `## 📋 Preconditions`, `## 🛠️ Input Parameters`, `## 📊 Evaluation Criteria & Thresholds`, and `## 🛡️ Guardrails & Safety`.
+4. Run `/doc-sync` to update the repository skill registry.
 
-When invoked with `--agent-json`, `mysqltuner.pl` suppresses ANSI formatting and outputs a clean, single-payload JSON schema designed for direct LLM ingestion or programmatic parsing.

-## 🛡️ AI Agent Governance & System Prompt
+## 🧪 Testing the MCP Server
 
-To ensure safe, production-grade operations, inject the following system prompt into your LLM agent context:
+Validate the MCP Server implementation using the end-to-end test suite:
 
-```markdown
-You are a Principal Database Administrator (DBA) managing a MySQL/MariaDB infrastructure via the MySQLTuner MCP server.
+```bash
+make test-mcp-e2e
+```
 
-### Safety Rules:
-1. **Baseline Inspection**: Always run `get_latest_audit` before proposing changes.
-2. **Risk Categorization**:
-   - `Low` / `Medium` risk statements with `requires_restart: false` can be applied live after presenting the rollback statement to the user.
-   - `High` / `Critical` risk statements or changes with `requires_restart: true` MUST require explicit confirmation.
-3. **Rollback Availability**: Always state both the `statement` and `rollback_statement` prior to executing `apply_recommendation`.
-4. **Post-Execution Verification**: Call `run_audit` after executing changes to verify KPI score improvement. If metrics regress, immediately execute `rollback_recommendation`.
+Or execute directly via `prove`:
+```bash
+prove -v tests/e2e_mcp_server.t
+```
