+## CLI Architecture (2026-02)
+
+The Zig CLI has been refactored for improved maintainability:
+
+- **Modular 3-layer architecture**: `core/` (foundation), `local/`/`server/` (mode-specific), `commands/` (routers)
+- **Unified context**: `core.context.Context` handles mode detection, output formatting, and dispatch
+- **Code reduction**: `experiment.zig` reduced from 836 to 348 lines (58% reduction)
+- **Bug fixes**: Resolved 15+ compilation errors across multiple commands
+
+See `cli/README.md` for detailed architecture documentation.

+# Security Policy
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+Please report security vulnerabilities to security@fetchml.io.
+Do NOT open public issues for security bugs.
+
+Response timeline:
+- Acknowledgment: within 48 hours
+- Initial assessment: within 5 days
+- Fix released: within 30 days (critical), 90 days (high)
+
+## Security Features
+
+FetchML implements defense-in-depth security for ML research systems:
+
+### Authentication & Authorization
+- **Argon2id API Key Hashing**: Memory-hard hashing resists GPU cracking
+- **RBAC with Role Inheritance**: Granular permissions (admin, data_scientist, data_engineer, viewer, operator)
+- **Constant-time Comparison**: Prevents timing attacks on key validation
+
+### Cryptographic Practices
+- **Ed25519 Manifest Signing**: Tamper detection for run manifests
+- **SHA-256 with Salt**: Legacy key support with migration path
+- **Secure Key Generation**: 256-bit entropy for all API keys
+
+### Container Security
+- **Rootless Podman**: No privileged containers
+- **Capability Dropping**: `--cap-drop ALL` by default
+- **No New Privileges**: `no-new-privileges` security opt
+- **Read-only Root Filesystem**: Immutable base image
+
+### Input Validation
+- **Path Traversal Prevention**: Canonical path validation
+- **Command Injection Protection**: Shell metacharacter filtering
+- **Length Limits**: Prevents DoS via oversized inputs
+
+### Audit & Monitoring
+- **Structured Audit Logging**: JSON-formatted security events
+- **Hash-chained Logs**: Tamper-evident audit trail
+- **Anomaly Detection**: Brute force, privilege escalation alerts
+- **Security Metrics**: Prometheus integration
+
+### Supply Chain
+- **Dependency Scanning**: gosec + govulncheck in CI
+- **No unsafe Package**: Prohibited in production code
+- **Manifest Signing**: Ed25519 signatures for integrity
+
+## Supported Versions
+
+| Version | Supported          |
+| ------- | ------------------ |
+| 0.2.x   | :white_check_mark: |
+| 0.1.x   | :x:                |
+
+## Security Checklist (Pre-Release)
+
+### Code Review
+- [ ] No hardcoded secrets
+- [ ] No `unsafe` usage without justification
+- [ ] All user inputs validated
+- [ ] All file paths canonicalized
+- [ ] No secrets in error messages
+
+### Dependency Audit
+- [ ] `go mod verify` passes
+- [ ] `govulncheck` shows no vulnerabilities
+- [ ] All dependencies pinned
+- [ ] No unmaintained dependencies
+
+### Container Security
+- [ ] No privileged containers
+- [ ] Rootless execution
+- [ ] Seccomp/AppArmor applied
+- [ ] Network isolation
+
+### Cryptography
+- [ ] Argon2id for key hashing
+- [ ] Ed25519 for signing
+- [ ] TLS 1.3 only
+- [ ] No weak ciphers
+
+### Testing
+- [ ] Security tests pass
+- [ ] Fuzz tests for parsers
+- [ ] Authentication bypass tested
+- [ ] Container escape tested
+
+## Security Commands
+
+```bash
+# Run security scan
+make security-scan
+
+# Check for vulnerabilities
+govulncheck ./...
+
+# Static analysis
+gosec ./...
+
+# Check for unsafe usage
+grep -r "unsafe\." --include="*.go" ./internal ./cmd
+
+# Build with sanitizers
+cd native && cmake -DENABLE_ASAN=ON .. && make
+```
+
+## Threat Model
+
+### Attack Surfaces
+1. **External API**: Researchers submitting malicious jobs
+2. **Container Runtime**: Escape to host system
+3. **Data Exfiltration**: Stealing datasets/models
+4. **Privilege Escalation**: Researcher → admin
+5. **Supply Chain**: Compromised dependencies
+6. **Secrets Leakage**: API keys in logs/errors
+
+### Mitigations
+| Threat | Mitigation |
+|--------|------------|
+| Malicious Jobs | Input validation, container sandboxing, resource limits |
+| Container Escape | Rootless, no-new-privileges, seccomp, read-only root |
+| Data Exfiltration | Network policies, audit logging, rate limiting |
+| Privilege Escalation | RBAC, least privilege, anomaly detection |
+| Supply Chain | Dependency scanning, manifest signing, pinned versions |
+| Secrets Leakage | Log sanitization, secrets manager, memory clearing |
+
+## Responsible Disclosure
+
+We follow responsible disclosure practices:
+
+1. **Report privately**: Email security@fetchml.io with details
+2. **Provide details**: Steps to reproduce, impact assessment
+3. **Allow time**: We need 30-90 days to fix before public disclosure
+4. **Acknowledgment**: We credit researchers who report valid issues

 # ML CLI
 
-Fast CLI tool for managing ML experiments.
+Fast CLI tool for managing ML experiments. Supports both **local mode** (SQLite) and **server mode** (WebSocket).
+
+## Architecture
+
+The CLI follows a modular 3-layer architecture for maintainability:
+
+```
+src/
+├── core/                    # Shared foundation
+│   ├── context.zig         # Execution context (allocator, config, mode dispatch)

+│   └── flags.zig           # Common flag parsing
+├── local/                   # Local mode operations (SQLite)
+│   └── experiment_ops.zig  # Experiment CRUD for local DB
+├── server/                  # Server mode operations (WebSocket)
+│   └── experiment_api.zig  # Experiment API for remote server

+│   ├── experiment.zig      # ~100 lines (was 887)
+│   ├── queue.zig           # Job submission

+└── utils/                   # Utilities (21 files)
+```
+
+### Mode Dispatch Pattern
+
+Commands auto-detect local vs server mode using `core.context.Context`:
+
+```zig
+var ctx = core.context.Context.init(allocator, cfg, flags.json);
+if (ctx.isLocal()) {
+    return try local.experiment.list(ctx.allocator, ctx.json_output);
+} else {
+    return try server.experiment.list(ctx.allocator, ctx.json_output);
+}

+### Local Mode Commands (SQLite)
+
+- `ml init` - Initialize local experiment tracking database
+- `ml experiment create --name <name>` - Create experiment locally
+- `ml experiment list` - List experiments from SQLite
+- `ml experiment log --run <id> --name <key> --value <val>` - Log metrics
+- `ml run start --experiment <id> [--name <name>]` - Start a run
+- `ml run finish --run <id>` - Mark run as finished
+- `ml run fail --run <id>` - Mark run as failed
+- `ml run list` - List all runs
+
+### Server Mode Commands (WebSocket)
+
+- `ml sync <path>` - Sync project to server
+- `ml queue <job1> [job2 ...] [--commit <id>] [--priority N] [--note <text>]` - Queue jobs
+- `ml status` - Check system/queue status
+- `ml validate <commit_id> [--json] [--task <task_id>]` - Validate provenance
+- `ml cancel <job>` - Cancel a running/queued job
+
+### Shared Commands (Auto-detect Mode)
+
+- `ml experiment log|show|list|delete` - Works in both local and server mode
+- `ml monitor` - Launch TUI (local SQLite or remote SSH)
 
 Notes:
 
-- `--json` mode is designed to be pipe-friendly: machine-readable JSON is emitted to stdout, while user-facing messages/errors go to stderr.
-- When running `ml validate --task <task_id>`, the server will try to locate the job's `run_manifest.json` under the configured base path (pending/running/finished/failed) and cross-check key fields (task id, commit id, deps, snapshot).
-- For tasks in `running`, `completed`, or `failed` state, a missing `run_manifest.json` is treated as a validation failure. For `queued` tasks, it is treated as a warning (the job may not have started yet).
+- Commands auto-detect mode from config (`sqlite://` vs `wss://`)
+- `--json` mode is designed to be pipe-friendly
 
-### Experiment workflow (minimal)
+## Core Modules
 
-- `ml sync ./my-experiment --queue`  
-  Syncs files, computes a unique commit ID for the directory, and queues a job.
+### `core.context`
 
-- `ml queue my-job`  
-  Queues a job named `my-job`. If `--commit` is omitted, the CLI generates a random commit ID
-  and records `(job_name, commit_id)` in `~/.ml/history.log` so you don't have to remember hashes.
+Provides unified execution context for all commands:
 
-- `ml queue my-job --note "baseline run; lr=1e-3"`
-  Adds a human-readable note to the run; it will be persisted into the run's `run_manifest.json` (under `metadata.note`).
+- **Mode detection**: Automatically detects local (SQLite) vs server (WebSocket) mode
+- **Output handling**: JSON vs text output based on `--json` flag
+- **Dispatch helpers**: `ctx.dispatch(local_fn, server_fn, args)` for mode-specific implementations
 
-- `ml experiment list`  
-  Shows recent experiments from history with alias (job name) and commit ID.
+```zig
+const core = @import("../core.zig");
 
-- `ml experiment delete <alias|commit>`  
-  Cancels a running/queued experiment by job name, full commit ID, or short commit prefix.
+pub fn execute(allocator: std.mem.Allocator, args: []const []const u8) !void {
+    const cfg = try config.Config.load(allocator);
+    var ctx = core.context.Context.init(allocator, cfg, flags.json);
+    defer ctx.deinit();
+    
+    // Dispatch to local or server implementation
+    if (ctx.isLocal()) {
+        return try local.experiment.list(ctx.allocator, ctx.json_output);
+    } else {
+        return try server.experiment.list(ctx.allocator, ctx.json_output);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### `core.output`
+
+Unified output helpers that respect `--json` flag:
+
+```zig
+core.output.errorMsg("command", "Error message");        // JSON: {"success":false,...}
+core.output.success("command");                          // JSON: {"success":true,...}
+core.output.successString("cmd", "key", "value");     // JSON with data
+core.output.info("Text output", .{});                   // Text mode only
+core.output.usage("cmd", "usage string");              // Help text
+```
+
+### `core.flags`
+
+Common flag parsing utilities:
+
+```zig
+var flags = core.flags.CommonFlags{};
+var remaining = try core.flags.parseCommon(allocator, args, &flags);
+
+// Check for subcommands
+if (core.flags.matchSubcommand(remaining.items, "list")) |sub_args| {
+    return try executeList(ctx, sub_args);
+}
+```
 
 ## Configuration

+### Local Mode (SQLite)
 
 ```toml
+# .fetchml/config.toml or ~/.ml/config.toml
+tracking_uri = "sqlite://./fetch_ml.db"
+artifact_path = "./experiments/"
+sync_uri = ""  # Optional: server to sync with
+```
+
+### Server Mode (WebSocket)
+
+```toml
+# ~/.ml/config.toml
 worker_host = "worker.local"
-worker_user = "mluser" 
+worker_user = "mluser"
 worker_base = "/data/ml-experiments"
 worker_port = 22
 api_key = "your-api-key"
 ```
 
+## Building
+
+### Development
+
+```bash
+cd cli
+zig build
+```
+
+### Production (requires SQLite in assets/)
+
+```bash
+cd cli
+make build-sqlite    # Fetch SQLite amalgamation
+zig build prod       # Build with embedded SQLite
+```

+## Local/Server Module Pattern
+
+Commands that work in both modes follow this structure:
+
+```
+src/
+├── local.zig              # Module index
+├── local/
+│   └── experiment_ops.zig # Local implementations
+├── server.zig             # Module index
+└── server/
+    └── experiment_api.zig # Server implementations
+```
+
+### Adding a New Command
+
+1. Create local implementation in `src/local/<name>_ops.zig`
+2. Create server implementation in `src/server/<name>_api.zig`
+3. Export from `src/local.zig` and `src/server.zig`
+4. Create thin router in `src/commands/<name>.zig` using `ctx.dispatch()`
+
+## Maintainability Cleanup (2026-02)
+
+Recent refactoring improved code organization:
+
+| Metric | Before | After |
+|--------|--------|-------|
+| experiment.zig | 836 lines | 348 lines (58% reduction) |
+| queue.zig | 1203 lines | Modular structure |
+| Duplicate printUsage | 24 functions | 1 shared helper |
+| Mode dispatch logic | Inlined everywhere | `core.context.Context` |
+
+### Key Improvements
+
+1. **Core Modules**: Unified `core.output`, `core.flags`, `core.context` eliminate duplication
+2. **Mode Abstraction**: Local/server operations separated into dedicated modules
+3. **Queue Decomposition**: `queue/` submodules for parsing, validation, submission
+4. **Bug Fixes**: Resolved 15+ compilation errors in `narrative.zig`, `outcome.zig`, `annotate.zig`, etc.

+# SQLite Amalgamation Setup for Local Mode
+
+## Overview
+
+This directory contains SQLite source for FetchML local mode:
+
+- `sqlite_<os>_<arch>/` - SQLite amalgamation for release builds (fetched, not in repo)
+  - `sqlite3.c` - Single-file SQLite implementation
+  - `sqlite3.h` - SQLite header file
+
+## Build Modes
+
+### Development/Debug Builds
+- Links against system SQLite library (`libsqlite3`)
+- Requires SQLite installed on system
+- Faster builds, smaller binary
+
+### Release Builds (ReleaseSmall, ReleaseFast)
+- Compiles SQLite from downloaded amalgamation
+- Self-contained, no external dependencies
+- Works on any system without SQLite installed
+
+## Preparing SQLite
+
+### Option 1: Fetch from Official Source (recommended)
+
+```bash
+cd cli
+make build-sqlite SQLITE_VERSION=3480000
+```
+
+### Option 2: Download Yourself
+
+```bash
+# Download official amalgamation
+SQLITE_VERSION=3480000
+SQLITE_YEAR=2025
+
+cd cli
+make build-sqlite
+# Output: src/assets/sqlite_<os>_<arch>/
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+After fetching SQLite:
+
+```bash
+# Verify files exist (example for darwin/arm64)
+ls -lh cli/src/assets/sqlite_darwin_arm64/sqlite3.c
+ls -lh cli/src/assets/sqlite_darwin_arm64/sqlite3.h
+
+# Build CLI
+cd cli
+zig build prod
+
+# Check binary works with local mode
+./zig-out/bin/ml init
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- `sqlite_<os>_<arch>/` directories are not tracked in git
+- Dev builds use system SQLite; release builds embed amalgamation
+- WAL mode is enabled for concurrent CLI writes and TUI reads
+- The amalgamation approach matches SQLite's recommended embedding pattern

+//! These functions are called by the command routers in `src/commands/` when
+//! `Context.isLocal()` returns true.
+//!
+//! ## Usage
+//!
+//! ```zig
+//! const local = @import("../local.zig");
+//!
+//! if (ctx.isLocal()) {
+//!     return try local.experiment.create(ctx.allocator, name, artifact_path, json);
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Module Structure
+//!
+//! - `experiment_ops.zig` - Experiment CRUD operations for SQLite
+//! - Future: `run_ops.zig`, `metrics_ops.zig`, etc.

+//! Server mode operations module
+//!
+//! Provides implementations for CLI commands when running in server mode (WebSocket).
+//! These functions are called by the command routers in `src/commands/` when

+//!
+//! ## Usage
+//!
+//! ```zig
+//! const server = @import("../server.zig");
+//!
+//! if (ctx.isServer()) {
+//!     return try server.experiment.list(ctx.allocator, ctx.json_output);

+//!
+//! - `experiment_api.zig` - Experiment API operations via WebSocket
+//! - Future: `run_api.zig`, `metrics_api.zig`, etc.
