+# OpenAEV Agent - Copilot Coding Instructions
+
+## Repository Overview
+
+**OpenAEV Agent** is a cross-platform system agent written in Rust for the OpenAEV security platform. It runs on Linux (x86_64, ARM64), macOS (x86_64, ARM64), and Windows (x86_64, ARM64). The agent communicates with the OpenAEV platform via HTTP APIs, executes security tasks, and manages payloads/runtimes locally.
+
+**Repository Stats:** ~1200 lines of Rust code across 21 source files. Total size: 1.5GB (includes target/ directory artifacts).

+
+## Build & Development
+
+**Rust Version:** 1.92.0+ (uses 2021 edition)
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Install Rust via [rustup](https://rustup.rs/)
+- Cargo is bundled with Rust
+
+### Build Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check compilation without building
+cargo check                    # ~25-30 seconds first run
+
+# Build debug binary
+cargo build                    # Output: target/debug/openaev-agent
+
+# Build release binary
+cargo build --release          # ~60 seconds; Output: target/release/openaev-agent
+```
+
+**Platform-Specific Builds (Linux):**
+```bash
+# For Linux musl static builds (used in CI):
+rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
+cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl --release
+strip ./target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/release/openaev-agent
+```
+
+### Code Quality (CRITICAL - CI will fail if these don't pass)
+
+**Always run these before committing:**
+
+```bash
+# 1. Format check (REQUIRED)
+cargo fmt -- --check           # Check formatting
+cargo fmt                      # Auto-fix formatting issues
+
+# 2. Linting (REQUIRED - zero warnings policy)
+cargo clippy -- -D warnings    # Fails on ANY warning
+cargo fix --clippy             # Auto-fix some clippy issues
+
+# 3. Tests (REQUIRED)
+cargo test                     # ~35 seconds
+cargo test --release          # CI uses release mode for tests
+```
+
+**Known Issue:** As of this writing, there are 5 clippy warnings related to `.to_string()` in format args and unnecessary `unwrap_err()` calls. These MUST be fixed for CI to pass. One test (`test_unsecured_certificate_acceptance`) is known to fail intermittently.
+
+### Running the Agent Locally
+
+The agent requires a configuration file to run. For development:
+
+```bash
+# Set development mode (reads config/default.toml or config/development.toml)
+env=development cargo run -- start
+
+# Production mode (default) requires config file at:
+# target/debug/openaev-agent-config (or next to the executable)
+```
+
+**Log Location:** `target/debug/openaev-agent.log` (JSON formatted)
+
+**Config Structure:** See `config/default.toml` for required fields:
+- `openaev.url` - Platform URL
+- `openaev.token` - Access token
+- `openaev.unsecured_certificate` - Allow self-signed certs
+- `openaev.with_proxy` - Use system proxy
+- `openaev.installation_mode` - "service-user" or "session-user"
+
+### Security Audit
+
+```bash
+# Install cargo-audit if not present
+cargo install cargo-audit
+
+# Check for vulnerabilities
+cargo audit
+
+# Update dependencies
+cargo update
+```
+
+**Note:** Cargo audit is run in CI and will block releases if vulnerabilities are found.
+
+## Continuous Integration (CircleCI)
+
+**Pipeline:** `.circleci/config.yml` - Builds for 6 platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows × x86_64, ARM64)
+
+**PR/Development Branch Checks (`*_compile` jobs):**
+1. `cargo check` - Compilation check
+2. `cargo fmt -- --check` - Format validation
+3. `cargo build --release` - Release build
+4. `cargo test --release` - Test suite
+
+**Main/Release Branch (`*_build` jobs):**
+- Same checks as compile jobs
+- Additional: Builds installers (NSIS for Windows)
+- Uploads artifacts to JFrog Artifactory
+
+**Failing CI?** Most common reasons:
+- Clippy warnings (use `cargo clippy -- -D warnings` locally)
+- Formatting issues (use `cargo fmt`)
+- Test failures (run `cargo test` locally)
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+cargo test                     # ~35 seconds
+
+# Run specific test
+cargo test test_name
+
+# Run with verbose output
+cargo test -- --nocapture
+
+# Code coverage (requires cargo-llvm-cov)
+cargo install cargo-llvm-cov
+cargo llvm-cov --html          # Output: target/llvm-cov/html/
+```
+
+**Test Files:** Located in `src/tests/` directory.
+
+## Common Issues & Workarounds
+
+### Issue 1: Config File Not Found
+**Error:** `configuration file "/path/to/openaev-agent-config" not found`
+**Fix:** Set `env=development` environment variable or create the config file.
+
+### Issue 2: Clippy Warnings
+**Known Warnings:**
+- `.to_string()` in format args (remove `.to_string()`)
+- Unnecessary `unwrap_err()` after `is_err()` check (use `if let Err(e)` pattern)
+
+**Fix:** Address each warning individually. Use `cargo fix --clippy` for auto-fixes.
+
+### Issue 3: Windows-Specific Code
+**Context:** Windows service code is in `src/windows/service.rs`. It uses the `windows-service` crate.
+**Testing:** Windows-specific code can only be tested on Windows runners.
+
+### Issue 4: Network Tests
+**Note:** The test `test_unsecured_certificate_acceptance` may fail in environments with strict SSL policies.
+
+## Architecture Notes
+
+**Threading Model:** Agent uses 3 threads:
+1. **Keep-alive thread** (`keep_alive.rs`) - Registers agent, sends heartbeats
+2. **Job listener thread** (`agent_job.rs`) - Polls for new jobs
+3. **Cleanup thread** (`agent_cleanup.rs`) - Removes old payloads/runtimes
+
+**HTTP Client:** Uses `reqwest` with:
+- Optional TLS verification (`unsecured_certificate`)
+- Optional system proxy support (`with_proxy`)
+- Custom headers (token, machine ID, hostname)
+
+**Job Execution:** Jobs are executed via `agent_exec.rs` which manages:
+- Runtime downloads
+- Payload execution
+- Working directory management (`runtimes/`, `payloads/`)
+
+**Configuration:** Two modes:
+- **Development:** Reads from `config/default.toml` or `config/development.toml`
+- **Production:** Reads from `openaev-agent-config` next to executable
+
+## Key Dependencies
+
+- **reqwest** - HTTP client (with rustls-tls)
+- **config** - Configuration management
+- **serde/serde_json** - Serialization
+- **tracing** - Logging (JSON format)
+- **rolling-file** - Log rotation
+- **network-interface** - Network info
+- **mid** - Machine ID (locked to v3.0.2)
+- **windows-service** - Windows service support (Windows only)
+
+**Locked Version:** `mid = "=3.0.2"` - Do not update without testing.
+
+## Making Changes
+
+1. **Always run quality checks before committing:**
+   ```bash
+   cargo fmt && cargo clippy -- -D warnings && cargo test
+   ```
+
+2. **For installer changes:** Update all three platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows). See `installer/README.md`.
+
+3. **For API changes:** Check impact on `api/mod.rs`, `register_agent.rs`, `manage_jobs.rs`.
+
+4. **For config changes:** Update `config/settings.rs` and `config/default.toml`.
+
+5. **Cross-platform code:** Test on all supported platforms or use CI to validate.
+
+## Release Process
+
+Releases are managed via `scripts/release.py` (Python 3.8+):
+```bash
+pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt
+python scripts/release.py <branch> <old_version> <new_version> <github_token>
+```
+
+**What it does:**
+- Updates version in `Cargo.toml`
+- Creates git tag
+- Triggers CI builds
+- Generates GitHub release notes
+
+## Trust These Instructions
+
+These instructions have been validated by running all commands and reviewing all CI pipelines. Only search for additional information if:
+- You encounter an error not documented here
+- You need to understand internal implementation details
+- These instructions are incomplete or incorrect for your specific task

-3. `cargo build --release` - Release build
-4. `cargo test --release` - Test suite

-**Test Files:** `src/tests/` directory.
-
-## Common Issues & Workarounds
-
-**Config File Not Found:** Set `env=development` or create config file.
-
-**Clippy Warnings:** `.to_string()` in format args (remove it); unnecessary `unwrap_err()` after `is_err()` (use `if let Err(e)`). Fix: `cargo fix --clippy`
-
-**Windows-Specific Code:** `src/windows/service.rs` uses `windows-service` crate. Test only on Windows runners.
+**Issues:** Config not found (set `env=development`); Clippy warnings (`.to_string()` in format args, unnecessary `unwrap_err()`); Windows code needs Windows runners; Network test may fail with strict SSL
 
-**Network Tests:** `test_unsecured_certificate_acceptance` may fail with strict SSL policies.
+## Architecture & Configuration
 
-## Architecture Notes
+**Threading:** 3 threads - keep-alive (`keep_alive.rs`), job listener (`agent_job.rs`), cleanup (`agent_cleanup.rs`)
 
-**Threading Model:** Agent uses 3 threads:
-1. **Keep-alive thread** (`keep_alive.rs`) - Registers agent, sends heartbeats
-2. **Job listener thread** (`agent_job.rs`) - Polls for new jobs
-3. **Cleanup thread** (`agent_cleanup.rs`) - Removes old payloads/runtimes
+**HTTP Client:** `reqwest` with optional TLS verification, proxy support, custom headers
 
-**HTTP Client:** Uses `reqwest` with:
-- Optional TLS verification (`unsecured_certificate`)
-- Optional system proxy support (`with_proxy`)
-- Custom headers (token, machine ID, hostname)
+**Job Execution:** `agent_exec.rs` manages runtime downloads, payload execution, working directories (`runtimes/`, `payloads/`)
 
-**Job Execution:** Jobs are executed via `agent_exec.rs` which manages:
-- Runtime downloads
-- Payload execution
-- Working directory management (`runtimes/`, `payloads/`)
+**Config Modes:** Development (reads `config/default.toml`); Production (reads `openaev-agent-config` next to executable)
 
-**Configuration:** Two modes:
-- **Development:** Reads from `config/default.toml` or `config/development.toml`
-- **Production:** Reads from `openaev-agent-config` next to executable

-## Key Dependencies

-- **reqwest** - HTTP client (rustls-tls), **config** - Config management, **serde/serde_json** - Serialization
-- **tracing** - Logging (JSON), **rolling-file** - Log rotation, **network-interface** - Network info
-- **mid** - Machine ID (locked to v3.0.2 - do not update without testing)
-- **windows-service** - Windows service support

+**When reviewing code, focus on:**
+
+### Security Critical Issues
+- Check for hardcoded secrets, API keys, or credentials
+- Look for SQL injection and XSS vulnerabilities
+- Verify proper input validation and sanitization
+- Review authentication and authorization logic
+
+### Performance Red Flags
+- Identify N+1 database query problems
+- Spot inefficient loops and algorithmic issues
+- Check for memory leaks and resource cleanup
+- Review caching opportunities for expensive operations
+
+### Code Quality Essentials
+- Functions should be focused and appropriately sized
+- Use clear, descriptive naming conventions
+- Ensure proper error handling throughout
+
+### Review Style
+- Be specific and actionable in feedback
+- Explain the "why" behind recommendations
+- Acknowledge good patterns when you see them
+- Ask clarifying questions when code intent is unclear
+
+**Always prioritize security vulnerabilities and performance issues that could impact users.**
+
+**Always suggest changes to improve readability.** Example:
+```rust
+// Instead of inline validation:
+if user.email.is_some() && user.email.unwrap().contains('@') && user.email.unwrap().len() > 5 {
+    submit_button.enabled = true;
+}
+
+// Consider extracting validation:
+fn is_valid_email(email: &Option<String>) -> bool {
+    email.as_ref().map_or(false, |e| e.contains('@') && e.len() > 5)
+}
+submit_button.enabled = is_valid_email(&user.email);
