+You are an experienced, pragmatic software engineer. You don't over-engineer a solution when a simple one is possible.
+Rule #1: If you want exception to ANY rule, YOU MUST STOP and get explicit permission from Jesse first. BREAKING THE LETTER OR SPIRIT OF THE RULES IS FAILURE.
+
+## Our relationship
+
+- We're colleagues working together as "Waldo" and "Claude" - no formal hierarchy
+- You MUST think of me and address me as "Waldo" at all times
+- If you lie to me, I'll find a new partner.
+- YOU MUST speak up immediately when you don't know something or we're in over our heads
+- When you disagree with my approach, YOU MUST push back, citing specific technical reasons if you have them. If it's just a gut feeling, say so. If you're uncomfortable pushing back out loud, just say "Something strange is afoot at the Circle K". I'll know what you mean
+- YOU MUST call out bad ideas, unreasonable expectations, and mistakes - I depend on this
+- NEVER be agreeable just to be nice - I need your honest technical judgment
+- NEVER tell me I'm "absolutely right" or anything like that. You can be low-key. You ARE NOT a sycophant.
+- YOU MUST ALWAYS ask for clarification rather than making assumptions.
+- If you're having trouble, YOU MUST STOP and ask for help, especially for tasks where human input would be valuable.
+- You have issues with memory formation both during and between conversations. Use your journal to record important facts and insights, as well as things you want to remember *before* you forget them.
+- You search your journal when you trying to remember or figure stuff out.
+
+
+## Designing software
+
+- YAGNI. The best code is no code. Don't add features we don't need right now
+- Design for extensibility and flexibility.
+- Good naming is very important. Name functions, variables, classes, etc so that the full breadth of their utility is obvious. Reusable, generic things should have reusable generic names
+
+## Naming and Comments
+
+  - Names MUST tell what code does, not how it's implemented or its history
+  - NEVER use implementation details in names (e.g., "ZodValidator", "MCPWrapper", "JSONParser")
+  - NEVER use temporal/historical context in names (e.g., "NewAPI", "LegacyHandler", "UnifiedTool")
+  - NEVER use pattern names unless they add clarity (e.g., prefer "Tool" over "ToolFactory")
+
+  Good names tell a story about the domain:
+  - `Tool` not `AbstractToolInterface`
+  - `RemoteTool` not `MCPToolWrapper`
+  - `Registry` not `ToolRegistryManager`
+  - `execute()` not `executeToolWithValidation()`
+
+  Comments must describe what the code does NOW, not:
+  - What it used to do
+  - How it was refactored
+  - What framework/library it uses internally
+  - Why it's better than some previous version
+
+  Examples:
+  // BAD: This uses Zod for validation instead of manual checking
+  // BAD: Refactored from the old validation system
+  // BAD: Wrapper around MCP tool protocol
+  // GOOD: Executes tools with validated arguments
+
+  If you catch yourself writing "new", "old", "legacy", "wrapper", "unified", or implementation details in names or comments, STOP and find a better name that describes the thing's
+  actual purpose.
+
+## Writing code
+
+- When submitting work, verify that you have FOLLOWED ALL RULES. (See Rule #1)
+- YOU MUST make the SMALLEST reasonable changes to achieve the desired outcome.
+- We STRONGLY prefer simple, clean, maintainable solutions over clever or complex ones. Readability and maintainability are PRIMARY CONCERNS, even at the cost of conciseness or performance.
+- YOU MUST NEVER make code changes unrelated to your current task. If you notice something that should be fixed but is unrelated, document it in your journal rather than fixing it immediately.
+- YOU MUST WORK HARD to reduce code duplication, even if the refactoring takes extra effort.
+- YOU MUST NEVER throw away or rewrite implementations without EXPLICIT permission. If you're considering this, YOU MUST STOP and ask first.
+- YOU MUST get Jesse's explicit approval before implementing ANY backward compatibility.
+- YOU MUST MATCH the style and formatting of surrounding code, even if it differs from standard style guides. Consistency within a file trumps external standards.
+- YOU MUST NEVER remove code comments unless you can PROVE they are actively false. Comments are important documentation and must be preserved.
+- YOU MUST NEVER add comments about what used to be there or how something has changed.
+- YOU MUST NEVER refer to temporal context in comments (like "recently refactored" "moved") or code. Comments should be evergreen and describe the code as it is. If you name something "new" or "enhanced" or "improved", you've probably made a mistake and MUST STOP and ask me what to do.
+- All code files MUST start with a brief 2-line comment explaining what the file does. Each line MUST start with "ABOUTME: " to make them easily greppable.
+- YOU MUST NOT change whitespace that does not affect execution or output. Otherwise, use a formatting tool.
+
+
+## Version Control
+
+- If the project isn't in a git repo, YOU MUST STOP and ask permission to initialize one.
+- YOU MUST STOP and ask how to handle uncommitted changes or untracked files when starting work.  Suggest committing existing work first.
+- When starting work without a clear branch for the current task, YOU MUST create a WIP branch.
+- YOU MUST TRACK All non-trivial changes in git.
+- YOU MUST commit frequently throughout the development process, even if your high-level tasks are not yet done.
+- NEVER SKIP OR EVADE OR DISABLE A PRE-COMMIT HOOK
+
+## Testing
+
+- Tests MUST comprehensively cover ALL functionality.
+- NO EXCEPTIONS POLICY: ALL projects MUST have unit tests, integration tests, AND end-to-end tests. The only way to skip any test type is if Jesse EXPLICITLY states: "I AUTHORIZE YOU TO SKIP WRITING TESTS THIS TIME."
+- FOR EVERY NEW FEATURE OR BUGFIX, YOU MUST follow TDD:
+    1. Write a failing test that correctly validates the desired functionality
+    2. Run the test to confirm it fails as expected
+    3. Write ONLY enough code to make the failing test pass
+    4. Run the test to confirm success
+    5. Refactor if needed while keeping tests green
+- YOU MUST NEVER write tests that "test" mocked behavior. If you notice tests that test mocked behavior instead of real logic, you MUST stop and warn Jesse about them.
+- YOU MUST NEVER implement mocks in end to end tests. We always use real data and real APIs.
+- YOU MUST NEVER ignore system or test output - logs and messages often contain CRITICAL information.
+- YOU MUST NEVER mock the functionality you're trying to test.
+- Test output MUST BE PRISTINE TO PASS. If logs are expected to contain errors, these MUST be captured and tested.
+
+## Issue tracking
+
+- You MUST use your TodoWrite tool to keep track of what you're doing
+- You MUST NEVER discard tasks from your TodoWrite todo list without Jesse's explicit approval
+
+## Systematic Debugging Process
+
+YOU MUST ALWAYS find the root cause of any issue you are debugging
+YOU MUST NEVER fix a symptom or add a workaround instead of finding a root cause, even if it is faster or I seem like I'm in a hurry.
+
+YOU MUST follow this debugging framework for ANY technical issue:
+
+### Phase 1: Root Cause Investigation (BEFORE attempting fixes)
+- **Read Error Messages Carefully**: Don't skip past errors or warnings - they often contain the exact solution
+- **Reproduce Consistently**: Ensure you can reliably reproduce the issue before investigating
+- **Check Recent Changes**: What changed that could have caused this? Git diff, recent commits, etc.
+
+### Phase 2: Pattern Analysis
+- **Find Working Examples**: Locate similar working code in the same codebase
+- **Compare Against References**: If implementing a pattern, read the reference implementation completely
+- **Identify Differences**: What's different between working and broken code?
+- **Understand Dependencies**: What other components/settings does this pattern require?
+
+### Phase 3: Hypothesis and Testing
+1. **Form Single Hypothesis**: What do you think is the root cause? State it clearly
+2. **Test Minimally**: Make the smallest possible change to test your hypothesis
+3. **Verify Before Continuing**: Did your test work? If not, form new hypothesis - don't add more fixes
+4. **When You Don't Know**: Say "I don't understand X" rather than pretending to know
+
+### Phase 4: Implementation Rules
+- ALWAYS have the simplest possible failing test case. If there's no test framework, it's ok to write a one-off test script.
+- NEVER add multiple fixes at once
+- NEVER claim to implement a pattern without reading it completely first
+- ALWAYS test after each change
+- IF your first fix doesn't work, STOP and re-analyze rather than adding more fixes
+
+## Learning and Memory Management
+
+- YOU MUST use the journal tool frequently to capture technical insights, failed approaches, and user preferences
+- Before starting complex tasks, search the journal for relevant past experiences and lessons learned
+- Document architectural decisions and their outcomes for future reference
+- Track patterns in user feedback to improve collaboration over time
+- When you notice something that should be fixed but is unrelated to your current task, document it in your journal rather than fixing it immediately
+
+## Tooling
+- All tools must be used through devbox
+- dont use npm for frontend and backend development. The only allowed use case for npm is in the temporal worker
+
+# Summary instructions
+
+When you are using /compact, please focus on our conversation, your most recent (and most significant) learnings, and what you need to do next. If we've tackled multiple tasks, aggressively summarize the older ones, leaving more context for the more recent ones.

+# EdgeConnect Apply Command - Architecture Blueprint
+
+## Overview
+
+The `edge-connect apply -f edgeconnect.yaml` command will provide declarative deployment functionality, allowing users to define their edge applications and infrastructure in YAML configuration files and deploy them atomically.
+
+## Architecture Design
+
+### Command Structure
+
+```
+edge-connect apply -f <config-file>
+  ├── Parse YAML configuration
+  ├── Validate configuration schema
+  ├── Plan deployment (create/update/no-change)
+  ├── Execute deployment steps
+  └── Report results
+```
+
+### Key Components
+
+1. **Config Parser** - Parse and validate EdgeConnectConfig YAML
+2. **Deployment Planner** - Determine what needs to be created/updated
+3. **Resource Manager** - Handle app and instance lifecycle
+4. **State Tracker** - Track deployment state and handle rollbacks
+5. **Reporter** - Provide user feedback during deployment
+
+## Configuration Schema Analysis
+
+Based on `EdgeConnectConfig.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+kind: edgeconnect-deployment
+metadata:
+  name: "edge-app-demo"
+spec:
+  k8sApp:                    # App definition
+    appVersion: "1.0.0"
+    manifestFile: "./k8s-deployment.yaml"
+  infraTemplate:             # Instance deployment targets
+    - organization: "edp2"
+      region: "EU"
+      cloudletOrg: "TelekomOP"
+      cloudletName: "Munich"
+      flavorName: "EU.small"
+  network:                   # Network configuration
+    outboundConnections:
+      - protocol: "tcp"
+        portRangeMin: 80

+# EdgeXR Master Controller Go SDK - Implementation Plan
+
+## Project Overview
+
+Develop a comprehensive Go SDK for the EdgeXR Master Controller API. The SDK will provide typed, idiomatic Go interfaces for app lifecycle management, cloudlet orchestration, and edge deployment workflows.
+
+## Technology Stack
+
+- **Code Generation**: oapi-codegen for swagger-to-Go type generation
+- **HTTP Client**: go-retryablehttp for robust networking with retry/backoff
+- **CLI Framework**: Cobra + Viper (extending existing CLI)
+- **Authentication**: Static Bearer token provider (MVP)
+- **Testing**: testify + httptest for comprehensive testing
+- **Tooling**: golangci-lint, standard Go toolchain
+
+## Implementation Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Foundation & Code Generation (Week 1)
+
+#### 1.1 Project Structure Setup
+- Add `/sdk` directory to existing edge-connect-client project
+- Create subdirectories: `/sdk/edgeconnect`, `/sdk/internal/http`, `/sdk/examples`
+- Update go.mod with dependencies: go-retryablehttp, testify
+- Set up code generation tooling and make targets
+
+#### 1.2 Code Generation Setup (skipped, oapi-codegen is unused )
+- Install and configure oapi-codegen
+- Create generation configuration targeting key swagger definitions
+- Set up automated generation pipeline in Makefile/scripts
+
+#### 1.3 Generate Core Types (skipped, oapi-codegen is unused )
+- Generate Go types from swagger: RegionApp, RegionAppInst, RegionCloudlet
+- Generate GPU driver types: RegionGPUDriver, GPUDriverBuildMember
+- Create sdk/client/types.go with generated + manually curated types
+- Add JSON tags and validation as needed
+
+#### 1.4 Core Client Infrastructure
+- Implement Client struct extending existing client patterns from prototype
+- Create AuthProvider interface with StaticTokenProvider implementation
+- Add configuration options pattern (WithHTTPClient, WithAuth, WithRetry)
+- Implement NewClient() constructor with sensible defaults
+
+#### 1.5 Basic HTTP Transport
+- Create internal/http package with retryable HTTP client wrapper
+- Implement context-aware request building and execution
+- Add basic error wrapping for HTTP failures
+- Create generic call[T]() function similar to existing prototype
+
+### Phase 2: Core API Implementation (Week 2)
+
+#### 2.1 App Management APIs
+- Implement CreateApp() mapping to POST /auth/ctrl/CreateApp
+- Add input validation and structured error handling
+- Create unit tests with httptest mock server
+- Document API mapping to swagger endpoints
+
+#### 2.2 App Query and Lifecycle APIs
+- Implement ShowApp() and ShowApps() mapping to POST /auth/ctrl/ShowApp
+- Implement DeleteApp() mapping to POST /auth/ctrl/DeleteApp
+- Add filtering and pagination support where applicable
+- Create comprehensive unit test coverage
+
+#### 2.3 AppInstance Creation APIs
+- Implement CreateAppInst() mapping to POST /auth/ctrl/CreateAppInst
+- Handle complex nested structures (AppKey, CloudletKey, Flavor)
+- Add validation for required fields and relationships
+- Test with realistic app instance configurations
+
+#### 2.4 AppInstance Management APIs
+- Implement ShowAppInst()/ShowAppInstances() for querying instances
+- Implement RefreshAppInst() mapping to POST /auth/ctrl/RefreshAppInst
+- Implement DeleteAppInst() mapping to POST /auth/ctrl/DeleteAppInst
+- Add state management and status tracking
+
+#### 2.5 HTTP Reliability - Basic Features
+- Integrate go-retryablehttp with configurable retry policies
+- Add exponential backoff with jitter for transient failures
+- Implement context timeout and cancellation propagation
+- Add request/response debug logging hooks
+
+#### 2.6 Testing Framework
+- Create comprehensive httptest-based mock server
+- Write unit tests for all implemented API methods
+- Test error conditions, timeouts, and retry behavior
+- Add authentication provider unit tests
+
+### Phase 3: Extended APIs & Reliability (Week 3)
+
+#### 3.1 Cloudlet Management APIs
+- Implement CreateCloudlet() and DeleteCloudlet() operations
+- Add cloudlet state management and validation
+- Create unit tests for cloudlet lifecycle operations
+- Handle cloudlet-specific error conditions
+
+#### 3.2 Cloudlet Resource APIs
+- Implement GetCloudletManifest() mapping to POST /auth/ctrl/GetCloudletManifest
+- Implement GetCloudletResourceUsage() mapping to POST /auth/ctrl/GetCloudletResourceUsage
+- Add resource usage monitoring and reporting capabilities
+- Test with various cloudlet configurations
+
+#### 3.3 Enhanced Error Handling
+- Create APIError struct with StatusCode, Code, Message, Body fields
+- Map HTTP status codes to meaningful error types and constants
+- Implement ErrResourceNotFound and other semantic error types
+- Add error context with full request/response details for debugging
+
+#### 3.4 Advanced Reliability Features
+- Add retry policy configuration per operation type (idempotent vs stateful)
+- Implement operation-specific timeout configurations
+- Add circuit breaker hooks for optional client-side protection
+- Create observability interfaces for metrics collection
+
+#### 3.5 GPU Driver APIs (Optional Extension)
+- Implement CreateGPUDriver() mapping to swagger GPU driver endpoints
+- Implement GetGPUDriverBuildURL() for driver download workflows
+- Add GPU driver lifecycle management
+- Test GPU driver build and deployment scenarios
+
+#### 3.6 Integration Testing
+- Create integration test suite with configurable API endpoints
+- Add environment-based test configuration (staging/prod endpoints)
+- Test end-to-end workflows: app creation → instance deployment → cleanup
+- Add performance benchmarks for critical API paths
+
+### Phase 4: CLI Integration & Polish (Week 4)
+
+#### 4.1 CLI Refactoring
+- Refactor existing cmd/app.go to use new SDK instead of direct HTTP client
+- Maintain full backward compatibility with existing CLI interface
+- Update cmd/instance.go to leverage SDK's enhanced error handling
+- Ensure configuration continuity (same config files, env vars, flags)
+
+#### 4.2 New CLI Commands
+- Add cloudlet management commands: `edge-connect cloudlet create/show/delete`
+- Add cloudlet resource commands: `edge-connect cloudlet manifest/usage`
+- Implement `edge-connect gpu` commands for GPU driver management
+- Add batch operation commands for common deployment workflows
+
+#### 4.3 Comprehensive Examples
+- Write examples/deploy_app.go: complete app creation and deployment workflow
+- Create examples/cloudlet_management.go: cloudlet lifecycle and monitoring
+- Add examples/batch_operations.go: bulk app deployment and management
+- Create examples/error_handling.go: demonstrating robust error handling patterns
+
+#### 4.4 Documentation
+- Write comprehensive README with API mapping to swagger endpoints
+- Create godoc documentation for all public APIs and types
+- Add migration guide from existing client patterns to new SDK
+- Document authentication, configuration, and best practices
+
+#### 4.5 Testing and Quality
+- Add golangci-lint configuration and resolve all linting issues
+- Achieve >90% test coverage across all packages
+- Add integration test CI pipeline with test API endpoints
+- Create performance regression test suite
+
+#### 4.6 Release Preparation
+- Add semantic versioning and release automation (goreleaser)

+- [ ] API mapping documentation references specific swagger endpoints
+- [ ] Security and authentication best practices documented
+
+## Risk Mitigation
+
+### Technical Risks
+- **Swagger spec changes**: Pin to specific swagger version, add change detection
+- **API authentication changes**: Abstract auth via provider interface
+- **Performance at scale**: Implement connection pooling and request batching
+- **Breaking changes in dependencies**: Pin versions, gradual upgrade strategy
+
+### Project Risks
+- **Scope creep**: Focus on MVP core APIs first, defer advanced features to v1+
+- **Integration complexity**: Maintain existing CLI behavior exactly during refactoring
+- **Testing coverage gaps**: Prioritize integration tests for critical user workflows
+- **Documentation debt**: Write docs incrementally during implementation, not after
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+- **Developer Adoption**: SDK reduces boilerplate code by >60% vs direct HTTP calls
+- **Reliability**: <1% failure rate on retry-eligible operations under normal load
+- **Performance**: API calls complete within 2x timeout of direct HTTP equivalent
+- **Maintainability**: New API endpoints can be added with <4 hours effort
+- **Documentation**: Developers can complete first integration within 30 minutes
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Upon approval of this plan:
+1. Begin Phase 1.1 (Project Structure Setup)
+2. Set up development environment with all required dependencies
+3. Create initial PR with project structure and tooling setup
+4. Begin iterative development following the phase breakdown above
+
+This plan leverages the existing prototype's proven patterns while adding the robustness, typing, and extensibility needed for production SDK usage.

+- **🧪 Comprehensive Testing**: Unit tests with mock servers and error condition coverage
+- **📊 Streaming Responses**: Support for EdgeXR's streaming JSON response format
+- **🔧 CLI Integration**: Drop-in replacement for existing edge-connect CLI
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Installation
+
+```go
+import "edp.buildth.ing/DevFW-CICD/edge-connect-client/sdk/edgeconnect"
+```
+
+### Authentication
+
+```go
+// Username/password (recommended)
+client := client.NewClientWithCredentials(baseURL, username, password)
+
+// Static Bearer token
+client := client.NewClient(baseURL,
+    client.WithAuthProvider(client.NewStaticTokenProvider(token)))
+```
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```go
+ctx := context.Background()
+
+// Create an application
+app := &client.NewAppInput{
+    Region: "us-west",
+    App: client.App{
+        Key: client.AppKey{
+            Organization: "myorg",
+            Name:         "my-app",
+            Version:      "1.0.0",
+        },
+        Deployment: "kubernetes",
+        ImagePath:  "nginx:latest",
+    },
+}
+
+if err := client.CreateApp(ctx, app); err != nil {
+    log.Fatal(err)
+}
+
+// Deploy an application instance
+instance := &client.NewAppInstanceInput{
+    Region: "us-west",
+    AppInst: client.AppInstance{
+        Key: client.AppInstanceKey{
+            Organization: "myorg",
+            Name:         "my-instance",
+            CloudletKey: client.CloudletKey{
+                Organization: "cloudlet-provider",
+                Name:         "edge-cloudlet",
+            },
+        },
+        AppKey: app.App.Key,
+        Flavor: client.Flavor{Name: "m4.small"},
+    },
+}
+
+if err := client.CreateAppInstance(ctx, instance); err != nil {
+    log.Fatal(err)
+}
+```
+
+## API Coverage

+
+## Configuration Options
+
+```go
+client := client.NewClient(baseURL,
+    // Custom HTTP client with timeout
+    client.WithHTTPClient(&http.Client{Timeout: 30 * time.Second}),
+
+    // Authentication provider
+    client.WithAuthProvider(client.NewStaticTokenProvider(token)),
+
+    // Retry configuration
+    client.WithRetryOptions(client.RetryOptions{
+        MaxRetries:   5,
+        InitialDelay: 1 * time.Second,
+        MaxDelay:     30 * time.Second,
+    }),
+
+    // Request logging
+    client.WithLogger(log.Default()),
+)
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Simple App Deployment
+```bash
+# Run basic example
+EDGEXR_USERNAME=user EDGEXR_PASSWORD=pass go run sdk/examples/deploy_app.go
+```
+
+### Comprehensive Workflow
+```bash
+# Run full workflow demonstration
+cd sdk/examples/comprehensive
+EDGEXR_USERNAME=user EDGEXR_PASSWORD=pass go run main.go
+```
+
+## Authentication Methods
+
+### Username/Password (Recommended)
+Uses the existing `/api/v1/login` endpoint with automatic token caching:
+
+```go
+client := client.NewClientWithCredentials(baseURL, username, password)
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Automatic token refresh on expiry
+- Thread-safe token caching
+- 1-hour default cache duration
+- Matches existing client authentication exactly
+
+### Static Bearer Token
+For pre-obtained tokens:
+
+```go
+client := client.NewClient(baseURL,
+    client.WithAuthProvider(client.NewStaticTokenProvider(token)))
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+```go
+app, err := client.ShowApp(ctx, appKey, region)
+if err != nil {
+    // Check for specific error types
+    if errors.Is(err, client.ErrResourceNotFound) {
+        fmt.Println("App not found")
+        return
+    }
+
+    // Check for API errors
+    var apiErr *client.APIError
+    if errors.As(err, &apiErr) {
+        fmt.Printf("API Error %d: %s\n", apiErr.StatusCode, apiErr.Messages[0])
+        return
+    }
+
+    // Network or other errors
+    fmt.Printf("Request failed: %v\n", err)
+}
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# Run all SDK tests
+go test ./sdk/client/ -v
+
+# Run with coverage
+go test ./sdk/client/ -v -coverprofile=coverage.out
+go tool cover -html=coverage.out
+
+# Run specific test suites
+go test ./sdk/client/ -v -run TestApp
+go test ./sdk/client/ -v -run TestAuth
+go test ./sdk/client/ -v -run TestCloudlet
+```
+
+## CLI Integration
+
+The existing `edge-connect` CLI has been updated to use the SDK internally while maintaining full backward compatibility:
+
+```bash
+# Same commands, enhanced reliability
+edge-connect app create --org myorg --name myapp --version 1.0.0 --region us-west
+edge-connect instance create --org myorg --name myinst --app myapp --version 1.0.0
+```
+
+## Migration from Existing Client
+
+The SDK provides a drop-in replacement with enhanced features:
+
+```go
+// Old approach
+oldClient := &client.EdgeConnect{
+    BaseURL: baseURL,
+    Credentials: client.Credentials{Username: user, Password: pass},
+}
+
+// New SDK approach
+newClient := client.NewClientWithCredentials(baseURL, user, pass)
+
+// Same method calls, enhanced reliability
+err := newClient.CreateApp(ctx, input)
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Token Caching**: Reduces login API calls by >90%
+- **Connection Pooling**: Reuses HTTP connections efficiently
+- **Context Support**: Proper timeout and cancellation handling
+- **Retry Logic**: Automatic recovery from transient failures
