**Sprint**: Sprint 20
**Duration**: 2-3 days (October 6, 2025)
**Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE**
**Focus**: Address Sprint 19 dogfooding findings, improve performance and UX

Sprint 20 successfully addressed all UX issues and performance problems discovered during Sprint 19 dogfooding. All 6 tickets completed, delivering significant improvements to developer experience, performance, and error handling.

## Completed Tickets

### TICKET-PMAT-6001: Health Command Optimization ✅
**Priority**: P0 - Critical
**Effort**: 4-6 hours
**Commit**: 18ac24d

**Problem**: Default health check timed out at 300s+ running all checks.

**Solution**:
- Added `--quick` flag for fast checks (build only, <10s)
- Added `--all` flag for comprehensive checks
- Changed defaults to opt-in model
- Individual check flags: `--check-build`, `--check-tests`, `--check-coverage`, `--check-complexity`, `--check-satd`

**Results**:
- Default health check: 14s (95% improvement from 300s+)
- Quick mode: <10s
- All mode: Full coverage available on demand
- CC: 7 (within limits)

**Usage**:
```bash
# Quick health check (build only)
pmat maintain health --quick

# Default (build only)
pmat maintain health

# Full health check
pmat maintain health --all

# Individual checks
pmat maintain health --check-build --check-tests
```

### TICKET-PMAT-6002: Progress Indicators ✅
**Priority**: P0 - Critical
**Effort**: 3-4 hours
**Commit**: fdb2fad

**Problem**: No feedback during long-running operations (scaffolding, health checks).

**Solution**:
- Added `indicatif` crate for spinners
- Created `ProgressIndicator` wrapper (CC=5)
- Auto-detects TTY and CI environments
- Respects `NO_COLOR` and `PMAT_QUIET` environment variables
- Shows operation duration on completion

**Integration Points**:
- Health checks: build, test, coverage
- Scaffolding: agent and WASM creation
- All operations >5s

**Results**:
```
⠋ Running build check...
✓ Build check passed (2.3s)
⠋ Running tests...
✓ Tests passed (606s)
```

**Auto-disables in**:
- CI environments (CI=1)
- Non-TTY contexts
- NO_COLOR environments
- Quiet mode

### TICKET-PMAT-6003: Documentation Naming Convention Fixes ✅
**Priority**: P1 - High
**Effort**: 1-2 hours
**Commit**: 0be34c5

**Problem**: Examples used kebab-case (`test-agent`) but commands required snake_case (`test_agent`).

**Solution**:
- Updated all examples to use snake_case
- Fixed `agent-scaffolding.md`, `scaffolding-quickstart.md`, `README.md`
- Ensured consistency across all documentation

**Files Updated**:
- `examples/agent-scaffolding.md`
- `examples/scaffolding-quickstart.md`
- `examples/README.md`

**Changes**:
```bash
# Before
pmat scaffold agent --name test-agent --template basic

# After
pmat scaffold agent --name test_agent --template basic
```

### TICKET-PMAT-6004: Enhanced Error Messages ✅
**Priority**: P1 - High
**Effort**: 2-3 hours
**Commit**: 6eda28a

**Problem**: Generic errors with no context or suggestions.

**Solution**:
- Created `error_context.rs` module (CC <7 all functions)
- 4 error types: `FileNotFound`, `FileWriteError`, `ParseError`, `ConfigError`
- Helper functions: `roadmap_not_found()`, `cargo_toml_not_found()`, `file_not_found()`
- Rich formatting with file paths and actionable suggestions

**Error Format**:
```
ERROR: Failed to read ROADMAP.md
  Location: /home/user/project/ROADMAP.md
  Reason: File not found

  Suggestions:
  - Run 'pmat maintain roadmap' from project root
  - Ensure you're in the correct directory
  - Check if ROADMAP.md exists in your project
```

**Updated Handlers**:
- `roadmap_handler.rs`: ROADMAP.md errors
- `generation_handlers.rs`: Scaffold errors
- All errors include full paths and suggestions

**Example Enhanced Errors**:
1. **Missing ROADMAP**: Shows path, suggests running from root
2. **Directory exists**: Shows location, suggests `--force` or different name
3. **Invalid framework**: Lists valid options with descriptions

### TICKET-PMAT-6005: CLI Integration Tests ✅
**Priority**: P1 - High
**Effort**: 3-4 hours

        .args(&["scaffold", "agent", "--name", "test_agent",
                "--template", "basic", "--dry-run"])
        .output()
        .expect("Failed to execute command");

    assert!(output.status.success());
    let stderr = String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stderr);
    assert!(stderr.contains("Dry run"));
    assert!(stderr.contains("test_agent"));

### TICKET-PMAT-6006: UX Polish ✅
**Priority**: P2 - Medium
**Effort**: 2-3 hours
**Commit**: 99fc664

**Problem**: No color configuration or quiet mode support.

**Solution**:
- Added `--quiet/-q` flag (conflicts with `--verbose`)
- Added `--color auto|always|never` flag
- Created `ColorMode` enum with auto-detection
- Environment variable integration

**Features**:

**Quiet Mode**:
- Suppresses progress indicators
- Shows errors only
- Environment variable: `PMAT_QUIET`
- Integrated with `ProgressIndicator`

**Color Configuration**:
- `auto`: Smart TTY detection (default)
- `always`: Forces colors via `CLICOLOR_FORCE`
- `never`: Disables colors via `NO_COLOR`

**Implementation**:
- `commands.rs`: Added CLI fields (CC=0)
- `mod.rs`: `apply_ux_settings()` function (CC=3)
- `progress.rs`: Updated `should_show_progress()` (CC=5)

**Usage**:
```bash
# Quiet mode (errors only)
pmat --quiet maintain health --quick

# Force colors
pmat --color always analyze complexity

# Disable colors
pmat --color never scaffold agent --name test --dry-run

# Auto mode (default, smart TTY detection)
pmat maintain health
```

**Environment Variables Respected**:
- `NO_COLOR`: Disables colors
- `CLICOLOR_FORCE`: Forces colors
- `PMAT_QUIET`: Enables quiet mode
- `CI`: Auto-disables progress bars

## Lessons Learned

### What Went Well
1. **Dogfooding Effectiveness**: Sprint 19 findings directly improved Sprint 20
2. **Incremental Improvements**: Small, focused tickets delivered big impact
3. **TDD Approach**: Integration tests caught regressions early
4. **User-Centric**: All improvements based on actual usage pain points

### What Could Improve
1. **Earlier Testing**: Integration tests should have been in Sprint 19
2. **Documentation First**: Examples should match implementation from start
3. **Performance Baselines**: Set performance targets earlier in development

### Best Practices Validated
1. **Toyota Way**: Stop, fix, improve approach worked well
2. **Extreme TDD**: Comprehensive tests prevented regressions
3. **Low Complexity**: CC <10 made changes easy and safe
4. **Rich Errors**: Actionable suggestions significantly improved UX
