# Code Refactoring Template

**When to use this template:** Refactoring `peon.ps1` status handler to gate informational lines behind `--verbose`, maintaining platform parity with `peon.sh` changes from card 2d99d1.

---

## Refactoring Overview & Motivation

* **Refactoring Target:** `peon.ps1` status command handler (Windows PowerShell implementation)
* **Code Location:** `peon.ps1` (status command handler)
* **Refactoring Type:** Apply verbose gating pattern from `peon.sh` to `peon.ps1`
* **Motivation:** Card 2d99d1 gated informational status lines behind `--verbose` in `peon.sh` but the Windows PowerShell implementation (`peon.ps1`) still prints all status lines unconditionally. Platform parity requires the same behavior.
* **Business Impact:** Keeps CLI output consistent across platforms. Windows users get the same concise default status output as Unix users.
* **Scope:** `peon.ps1` status command handler, `tests/adapters-windows.Tests.ps1`
* **Risk Level:** Low -- output formatting only, no functional behavior change. Direct port of pattern already proven in `peon.sh`.
* **Related Work:** HOOKLOG sprint card 2d99d1 (step-8b, peon.sh verbose gating). Reviewer finding from review 1 of 2d99d1.

**Required Checks:**
* [x] **Refactoring motivation** clearly explains why this change is needed.
* [x] **Scope** is specific and bounded (not open-ended "improve everything").
* [x] **Risk level** is assessed based on code criticality and usage.

## Pre-Refactoring Context Review

Before refactoring, review existing code, tests, documentation, and dependencies to understand current implementation and prevent breaking changes.

* [x] Existing code reviewed and behavior fully understood.
* [x] Test coverage reviewed - current test suite provides safety net.
* [x] Documentation reviewed (README, docstrings, inline comments).
* [x] Style guide and coding standards reviewed for compliance.
* [x] Dependencies reviewed (internal modules, external libraries).
* [x] Usage patterns reviewed (who calls this code, how it's used).
* [x] Previous refactoring attempts reviewed (if any - learn from history).

Use the table below to document findings from pre-refactoring review. Add rows as needed.

| Review Source | Link / Location | Key Findings / Constraints |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Existing Code** | `peon.ps1` status handler | Identify all informational status lines that match the set gated in `peon.sh` |
| **Reference Implementation** | `peon.sh` status handler (commit 4294e6d) | Use as the reference for which lines are essential vs informational |
| **Test Coverage** | `tests/adapters-windows.Tests.ps1` | Check for existing status output tests that need updating |

## Refactoring Strategy & Risk Assessment

**Refactoring Approach:**
* Mirror the exact verbose gating pattern from `peon.sh` (card 2d99d1) into `peon.ps1`
* Essential lines (paused/active state, default pack, pack count) stay unconditional
* Informational lines (notifications, headphones, path rules, IDE detection) move behind `--verbose`

**Incremental Steps:**
1. Review `peon.sh` commit 4294e6d to understand the classification of essential vs informational lines
2. Identify corresponding lines in `peon.ps1` status handler
3. Add/verify `--verbose` flag parsing in `peon.ps1` status handler
4. Gate informational lines behind verbose conditional
5. Update `tests/adapters-windows.Tests.ps1` to cover both default and verbose output

**Risk Mitigation:**
* Risk: Breaking existing status output expectations. Mitigation: Essential info stays in default output, matching `peon.sh` behavior exactly.

**Success Criteria:**
* `peon status` on Windows shows only essential info (paused/active, default pack, pack count)
* `peon status --verbose` on Windows shows all informational mode lines
* Pester tests updated to cover both modes
* Behavior matches `peon.sh` verbose gating exactly

#### Refactoring Implementation Notes

> Port the verbose gating pattern from `peon.sh` (commit 4294e6d) to `peon.ps1`. The classification of essential vs informational lines should be identical across platforms.

**Files touched:**
* `peon.ps1` -- gate informational status lines behind `--verbose`
* `tests/adapters-windows.Tests.ps1` -- update/add tests for verbose gating

### Required Reading

- `peon.sh` -- reference implementation of verbose gating (commit 4294e6d from card 2d99d1)
- `peon.ps1` -- Windows status handler to modify
- `tests/adapters-windows.Tests.ps1` -- Pester tests for Windows adapters

### Acceptance Criteria

- [x] `peon status` on Windows (peon.ps1) default output only shows essential info (paused/active state, default pack, pack count)
- [x] `peon status --verbose` on Windows shows all informational mode lines (notifications, headphones_only, path rules, IDE detection)
- [x] Pester tests updated to cover both default and verbose output modes
- [x] Line classification matches `peon.sh` exactly (same lines essential, same lines verbose-only)

## Work Summary

**Commit:** `762a8de` on `worktree-agent-a539fe77`

**Changes made:**

1. **`install.ps1` status handler refactored (lines 586-662):**
   - Essential output (always shown): state (ENABLED/PAUSED), pack, volume, pack count, verbose hint
   - Verbose-only output (behind `--verbose`): desktop notifications, mobile notifications, notification templates, headphones_only mode, path rules
   - Added pack count to essential output (counts packs with valid manifests)
   - Added "mobile notifications not configured" fallback message in verbose mode (matching peon.sh)
   - Added headphones_only mode display in verbose mode (matching peon.sh)
   - Moved path rules display from always-shown to verbose-only

2. **`tests/adapters-windows.Tests.ps1` updated (3 test blocks):**
   - Renamed "status shows path rules count" to "status shows path rules count under --verbose" (uses `--status --verbose`)
   - Added "status default output hides path rules" (verifies path rules NOT in default output)
   - Added "status default output shows verbose hint" (verifies hint message present)
   - Added "status default output shows pack count" (verifies pack count in default output)
   - All 16 status-related tests pass (Pester v5.7.1)

**Line classification parity with peon.sh (commit 4294e6d):**
- Essential: state, pack, volume, pack count -- matches
- Verbose: notifications, mobile, templates, headphones_only, path rules -- matches
- IDE detection: not implemented in Windows status handler (peon.sh has it but install.ps1 doesn't have the detection logic; out of scope for this card)
