# Rust Project Setup and Validation

* **Task ID:** project-setup_1
* **Reviewer:** stevejs
* **Area:** build
* **Motivation (WHY):**
  - Establish baseline build, test, and lint workflows before feature development
  - Validate all dependencies compile and integrate properly
  - Set up proper error handling and logging infrastructure per PRD requirements
  - Configure .gitignore to avoid committing build artifacts and temporary files
* **Acceptance Criteria:**
  1. `cargo build` completes successfully
  2. `cargo test` runs (even with no tests yet)
  3. `cargo clippy` passes with no warnings
  4. Basic error handling and logging framework initialized
  5. CLI binary runs with --help flag
  6. .gitignore properly excludes Rust build artifacts and run outputs
* **Deliverables:**
  - Updated src/main.rs with proper error handling and logging setup
  - .gitignore file with Rust-specific exclusions
  - Basic project structure validation
  - Cargo.lock committed for reproducible builds

  - PRD section 5: Tech Stack requirements (Rust 2021, Tokio, structured logs)
  - PRD section 6: Error handling requirements
  - CLAUDE.md section 4: Coding conventions (commit Cargo.lock, structured logs)
