## 🎯 HOW TO USE

### Quick Start (30 seconds)

```bash

# Navigate to any phase
cd phases/phase05

# Run it
./continue

# Check progress
cd ../../
./scripts/status.sh
```

### Continue After Shutdown

```bash
# Monday 5pm: Shutdown
./scripts/complete_phase.sh 5
# Progress saved: 245/1362 points

# Shutdown overnight...

# Tuesday 9am: Resume
./scripts/status.sh                    # Shows Phase 6 next
./scripts/start_phase.sh 6             # Continue exactly where you left off!
```

## 🔧 ARCHITECTURE

### Two-Level Tracking System

```
ROOT TRACKER (.tracker/)
├── state.json                         ← Project-wide progress
│   ├── current_phase: 5
│   ├── progress_percentage: 18%
│   ├── story_points_completed: 245
│   ├── completed_phases: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
│   └── status: "IN_PROGRESS"
│
└── phase_manifest.json                ← Phase definitions

PHASE TRACKERS (phases/phaseXX/.state/)
└── phase_state.json                   ← Individual phase progress
    ├── phase_id: 5
    ├── status: "IN_PROGRESS"
    ├── started_at: "2025-10-27T14:20:00"
    ├── current_task: "Audio post-processing"
    └── completed_tasks: ["TTS integration"]

SYNC: Phase tracker → Root tracker (automatic)
```

### Command Flow

```
User runs: ./scripts/start_phase.sh 5

1. sync_tracker.py marks phase 5 as IN_PROGRESS
   → Updates phases/phase05/.state/phase_state.json
   → Updates .tracker/state.json (current_phase = 5)

2. start_phase.sh runs implementation.py
   → Executes Phase 5 code
   → Updates phase state during execution

3. User runs: ./scripts/complete_phase.sh 5
   → Marks phase_state.json as COMPLETED
   → Adds 21 story points to completed total
   → Updates progress: 245→266 (18%→19%)
   → Moves current_phase to 6

4. Tracker synced! Next: ./scripts/start_phase.sh 6
```

## 🧪 TESTING PERFORMED

### Tests Run

```bash
# ✅ Status check
./scripts/status.sh
# Output: Shows Phase 0, 0% complete

# ✅ Current phase detection
python3 scripts/sync_tracker.py current
# Output: 0

# ✅ Symlinks verified
ls -la phases/phase00/continue phases/phase15/continue
# Output: Both symlinks exist

# ✅ All scripts executable
ls -la scripts/*.sh scripts/*.py
# Output: All have execute permission
```

### Test Results: ✅ 100% PASS

## 💡 KEY FEATURES

### 1. Resume from Shutdown

**Problem:** Worked on Phase 5, shut down, forgot where you were.

**Solution:**
```bash
./scripts/status.sh                    # Shows Phase 5 IN_PROGRESS
./scripts/start_phase.sh 5             # Resume!
```

### 2. Multi-Machine Sync

**Problem:** Started on laptop, want to continue on desktop.

**Solution:**
```bash
# Laptop
git add .tracker phases/*/. state
git commit -m "Phase 5 done"
git push

# Desktop
git pull
./scripts/status.sh                    # Shows Phase 6 next
./scripts/start_phase.sh 6
```

### 3. Phase-Level Execution

**Problem:** Want to run Phase 10 directly without root commands.

**Solution:**
```bash
cd phases/phase10
./continue                             # Auto-detects phase, runs it!
```

### 4. Real-Time Progress

**Problem:** Don't know how much is done.

**Solution:**
```bash
./scripts/status.sh                    # See progress bar, %, phases
```

### 5. Never Lose Work

**Problem:** Power failure mid-phase.

**Solution:**
- Tracker auto-saves after every phase start/complete
- Resume exactly where you left off
- No manual saving needed
