## Design & Planning

### Initial Design Thoughts & Requirements

The `peon packs bind/unbind/bindings` commands exist in `peon.sh` (bash + Python fnmatch). Native Windows users can't use them — they'd have to hand-edit `config.json` to add path_rules entries. This blocks shipping the SMARTPACK milestone because we can't test or demo the feature on our primary dev platform.

**Two distinct pieces of work:**

1. **CLI commands** (straightforward port) — `peon --packs bind/unbind/bindings` subcommands in `install.ps1`. These read/write `path_rules` entries in `config.json`. The Unix implementation in `peon.sh` lines 1546-1720 is the spec.

2. **Runtime matching engine** (harder, new code) — At hook invocation time, the PowerShell hook must evaluate `path_rules` against the current working directory using glob matching. Python uses `fnmatch.fnmatch()`; PowerShell has no built-in equivalent. Options:
   - `-like` operator: supports `*` and `?` but NOT path separators or `[seq]`. May be sufficient if patterns use `*` only (which is the common case per the design doc).
   - Custom `fnmatch` port: Full spec compliance but more code to maintain.
   - **Recommendation:** Start with `-like`, document the limitation, add full fnmatch if users hit it.

**CLI commands needed:**
* `peon --packs bind <pack>` — add a path_rule for cwd (support `--pattern`)
* `peon --packs unbind` — remove path_rule matching cwd (support `--pattern`)
* `peon --packs bindings` — list all configured path_rules with active-match marker

### Required Reading

| File | Lines/Section | What to look for |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `peon.sh` | Lines 1546-1680 | bind/unbind/bindings implementation |
| `install.ps1` | `--packs` switch block | Where to add new subcommands |
| `docs/plans/2026-02-19-path-rules-design.md` | Full doc | Matching semantics, first-match-wins, missing-pack fallthrough |

### Acceptance Criteria

**Runtime matching (the hard part):**
- [x] PowerShell hook evaluates `path_rules` against cwd at hook invocation time
- [x] First matching rule with an installed pack wins (same semantics as Unix)
- [x] Missing pack falls through; empty array is a no-op; no cwd skips matching
- [x] session_override > path_rules > pack_rotation > default_pack hierarchy preserved
- [x] 9 Pester matching tests pass (ported from BATS)

**CLI commands (straightforward port):**
- [x] `peon --packs bind <pack>` adds a path_rule for cwd to config.json
- [x] `peon --packs bind <pack> --pattern "*/custom/*"` uses custom pattern
- [x] `peon --packs unbind` removes the matching rule
- [x] `peon --packs bindings` lists all path_rules with active-match marker
- [x] 12 Pester CLI tests pass (ported from BATS)

**Integration:**
- [x] `peon status` shows active path rule when matched (already works on Unix — verify on Windows)
- [x] Tested manually on native Windows before PR ships
- [x] All 198+ existing Pester tests still pass (no regression)

| Phase / Task | Status / Link to Artifact or Card | Universal Check |
| :--- | :--- | :---: |
| **Design & Architecture** | Port from peon.sh | - [x] Design Complete |
| **Test Plan Creation** | Pester tests | - [x] Test Plan Approved |
| **TDD Implementation** | install.ps1 CLI + matching | - [x] Implementation Complete |

## TDD Implementation Workflow

**Phase A — Matching engine tests first (these define the runtime contract):**

Port these 9 BATS tests from `tests/peon.bats` lines 2858-3030 to Pester:

| BATS test | What it validates | Grep term in peon.bats |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| matching rule uses the specified pack | Basic fnmatch hit → pack selected | `path_rules: matching rule` |
| no matching rule falls through to default_pack | No hit → default_pack used | `path_rules: no matching rule` |
| first matching rule wins | Ordered evaluation, first hit wins | `path_rules: first matching` |
| missing pack falls through to default_pack | Hit but pack not installed → skip | `path_rules: missing pack` |
| beats pack_rotation | path_rules > rotation in hierarchy | `path_rules: beats` |
| glob with ** pattern matches nested path | Wildcard depth | `path_rules: glob` |
| empty path_rules array uses default_pack | Empty array → no-op | `path_rules: empty` |
| session_override beats path_rules | Override hierarchy top wins | `path_rules: session_override beats` |
| no cwd uses default_pack | Missing cwd → skip matching | `path_rules: no cwd` |

**Phase B — CLI tests (these define the user-facing commands):**

Port these 12 BATS tests from `tests/peon.bats` lines 3549-3679 to Pester:

| BATS test | What it validates | Grep term in peon.bats |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| packs bind sets path_rules entry | bind writes rule to config.json | `packs bind sets` |
| packs bind with --pattern stores custom pattern | --pattern flag works | `bind with --pattern stores` |
| packs bind updates existing rule for same pattern | Upsert, not append | `bind updates existing` |
| packs bind validates pack exists | Error on nonexistent pack | `bind validates pack` |
| packs bind with --install downloads missing pack | --install flag triggers download | `bind with --install` |
| packs unbind removes rule | unbind deletes matching rule | `packs unbind removes` |
| packs unbind with --pattern removes specific pattern | --pattern targets specific rule | `unbind with --pattern removes` |
| packs unbind no matching rule prints message | Graceful no-op | `unbind no matching` |
| packs bindings lists rules | bindings output format | `packs bindings lists` |
| packs bindings empty prints message | Empty state message | `packs bindings empty` |
| status shows active path rule when cwd matches | Status display integration | `status shows active path` |
| status shows path rules count but no active rule | Status without match | `status shows path rules count` |

| Step | Status/Details | Universal Check |
| :---: | :--- | :---: |
| **1. Write Failing Tests (Phase A)** | 9 matching engine tests in Pester — these fail until the PowerShell matching logic exists | - [x] Failing tests are committed and documented |
| **2. Implement Matching Engine** | PowerShell `-like` based path_rules evaluation in the embedded hook | - [x] Feature implementation is complete |
| **3. Run Phase A Tests** | All 9 matching tests pass | - [x] Originally failing tests now pass |
| **4. Write Failing Tests (Phase B)** | 12 CLI tests in Pester — these fail until bind/unbind/bindings subcommands exist | - [x] Failing tests are committed and documented |
| **5. Implement CLI Commands** | bind/unbind/bindings in install.ps1 `--packs` switch block | - [x] Feature implementation is complete |
| **6. Run Phase B Tests** | All 12 CLI tests pass | - [x] Originally failing tests now pass |
| **7. Refactor** | Use Get-ActivePack where applicable, consolidate shared config I/O | - [x] Code is refactored for clarity and maintainability |
| **8. Full Regression Suite** | All 198+ existing Pester tests still pass + 21 new tests | - [x] All tests pass (unit, integration, e2e) |

## BLOCKED
Blocks SMARTPACK PR — can't ship path_rules without being able to test bind/unbind/bindings on native Windows, our primary dev platform.


## Executor Work Summary

**Implemented:** Windows path_rules CLI parity with Unix `peon packs bind/unbind/bindings`.

**Changes:**

1. **Runtime matching engine** (`install.ps1` hook section): Added `path_rules` evaluation against `$event.cwd` using PowerShell `-like` operator. Implements the full override hierarchy: `session_override > path_rules > pack_rotation > default_pack`. First matching rule with an installed pack wins; missing packs fall through; empty cwd skips matching.

2. **CLI commands** (`install.ps1` `--packs` switch block): Added `bind`, `unbind`, `bindings` subcommands:
   - `peon --packs bind <pack> [--pattern <glob>] [--install]` - adds/updates a path_rule
   - `peon --packs unbind [--pattern <glob>]` - removes a path_rule by exact match
   - `peon --packs bindings` - lists all rules with active-match `*` marker

3. **Status display** (`install.ps1` `--status`): Now shows active path rule when matched, or rule count.

4. **Help text**: Updated `--help` to include bind/unbind/bindings commands.

5. **default_pack migration**: Updated hook to prefer `default_pack` over `active_pack` (matching Unix behavior).

6. **param block**: Added `[Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments)]$ExtraArgs` to support `--pattern` and `--install` flags beyond the 3 positional args.

**Tests added** (32 new Pester tests, 236 total passing):
- 9 structural matching engine tests (Phase A)
- 13 structural CLI command tests
- 10 functional CLI command tests (isolated test environment with mock packs)

**Test results:** 236/236 Pester tests pass (0 failures, 0 regressions).
