Evan Reichard b16d816a18 build(pi-coding-agent): bump to 0.74.0 with enriched lockfile workflow
Upstream v0.74.0 lockfile omits resolved/integrity metadata needed by
buildNpmPackage's offline NPM cache. Add a package-local enriched lockfile,
a script to regenerate it from the npm registry, and a prePatch step to
copy it into the build sandbox.

AI Agent Guidelines

Be cognizant of context use; this file is loaded for all LLMs. Keep guidance concise and high-signal.

Critical Rules

  1. Bash timeouts: Every bash tool call MUST specify a timeout.

    bash(command="some command", timeout=30)
    
  2. File writing: Do NOT use cat with heredocs to write files. Use write for new/rewritten files and edit for targeted modifications.

  3. Scratch files: Put temporary scripts, plans, notes, and reusable exploration artifacts in _scratch/. It is gitignored.

  4. Missing commands: If a tool is not installed, prefer nix run instead of installing it.

    nix run nixpkgs#python3 -- script.py
    

Context Discipline

Prefer a search → targeted read pattern:

  1. Search with rg -n / grep -n to find relevant line numbers.
  2. Read only the needed range with read(path, offset, limit).

Full-file reads are fine when genuinely needed, but avoid them as the default reflex.

Principles

  1. KISS / YAGNI: Keep solutions simple. Avoid abstractions, generics, or indirection unless there is a concrete need.

  2. Maintain AGENTS.md: Keep project guidance up to date, but BLUF: concise, actionable, and context-size conscious.

  3. Knowledge Capture Check: Before the final response, ask whether the task revealed a non-obvious convention, pitfall, repeatable workflow, or missing helper. If yes, briefly recommend exactly where to capture it: package/project AGENTS.md, global AGENTS.md, a skill, or a helper script. Skip this note when there is nothing meaningful.

Comment Style

A logical block of code (not necessarily a language scope) should have a short Title Case comment above it:

// Map Component Results
for _, comp := range components {
    results[comp.Name] = comp.Result
}

If the block is more complicated or non-obvious, explain why after the title:

// Map Component Results - Downstream consumers expect a name-keyed lookup.
for _, comp := range components {
    results[comp.Name] = comp.Result
}
