requires:

    provides: "Existing spoke patterns and conventions for CLAUDE.md files"
provides:
  - "validation/CLAUDE.md intermediate parent spoke"
  - "processors/CLAUDE.md trade processing spoke"
  - "heartbeat/CLAUDE.md health monitoring spoke"
  - "heartbeat/checks/CLAUDE.md 14-module check index spoke"
  - "day_mode/CLAUDE.md parent chain fixed through validation/ intermediate"
affects: [03-04]

key-decisions:

  - "heartbeat/checks/CLAUDE.md documents the shared check interface pattern (mutate results dict in place)"
  - "All 14 check modules documented with actual function names and purpose from source reading"

patterns-established:
  - "Intermediate parent spoke: when a child already has a spoke, insert parent spoke and update child's Parent link"
  - "Check module index: table listing all modules with actual function signatures, not boilerplate"

# Phase 03 Plan 02: Create Validation, Processors, Heartbeat, and Heartbeat/Checks Spokes Summary

**4 new CLAUDE.md spoke files for validation (intermediate parent), processors, heartbeat, and heartbeat/checks (14-module index), plus day_mode parent chain fix**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 4 min
- **Started:** 2026-03-23T20:14:07Z
- **Completed:** 2026-03-23T20:18:00Z
- **Tasks:** 2
- **Files modified:** 5

## Accomplishments

- Created validation/CLAUDE.md as intermediate parent with 4-tier validation documentation and gap classification taxonomy
- Created processors/CLAUDE.md documenting the Rust-to-Python processing pipeline (OpenDeviationBarProcessor, api.py entry points)
- Created heartbeat/CLAUDE.md with 4-tier health level system, alert dedup, and entry point orchestration docs
- Created heartbeat/checks/CLAUDE.md indexing all 14 check modules with actual function names and the shared check interface pattern
- Fixed day_mode/CLAUDE.md parent chain from grandparent to proper intermediate parent

## Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. **Task 1: Create validation/CLAUDE.md, processors/CLAUDE.md, and fix day_mode parent** - `ad70478` (docs)
2. **Task 2: Create heartbeat/CLAUDE.md and heartbeat/checks/CLAUDE.md spokes** - `52ddbfe` (docs)

## Files Created/Modified

- `python/opendeviationbar/validation/CLAUDE.md` - Validation framework spoke: 4 tiers, Stathera continuity, gap classification, schema contract, children link
- `python/opendeviationbar/processors/CLAUDE.md` - Trade processors spoke: OpenDeviationBarProcessor, api.py convenience functions, pipeline docs
- `scripts/heartbeat/CLAUDE.md` - Health heartbeat spoke: entry point, 4-tier health levels, alert dedup, ephemeral message lifecycle
- `scripts/heartbeat/checks/CLAUDE.md` - Check modules spoke: 14 modules indexed, common interface documented, stathera.py highlighted as primary check
- `python/opendeviationbar/validation/day_mode/CLAUDE.md` - Updated Parent link from grandparent to validation/CLAUDE.md intermediate

## Decisions Made

- validation/CLAUDE.md serves as intermediate parent, fixing the skip-level parent link in day_mode/CLAUDE.md
- heartbeat/checks/CLAUDE.md documents the shared check interface pattern (functions mutate a shared results dict in place, boolean keys gate health, string keys are informational)
- All 14 check modules documented with actual function names and purpose derived from source reading, not boilerplate

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered

None.

## User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

## Next Phase Readiness

- 4 new spokes complete, ready for 03-04 (root hub table updates if applicable)
- Parent chain for validation/day_mode/ now correctly goes: day_mode -> validation -> python/opendeviationbar -> CLAUDE.md
