code-modernization: interactive topology map, preflight command, persona flows
modernize-map previously rendered the call graph and data lineage as
static Mermaid diagrams, which become unreadable once a node has ~10+
edges — exactly the shape of real legacy systems. It now builds an
interactive viewer from a shipped template (assets/topology-viewer.html):
a zoomable circle-pack of domains/modules sized by LOC, rendered to
canvas with level-of-detail reveal, dependency edges with per-kind
toggles, search with fly-to, a per-node detail sidebar, and a flow
walkthrough mode. Small domain-level .mmd exports remain for docs.

- topology.json now has a documented schema (hierarchy + edges + entry
  points + observations + flows) consumed by the viewer
- map traces 2-4 business flows anchored to personas (claimant,
  operator, auditor), each step in plain business language mapped to
  the modules that implement it; the viewer plays them as numbered
  paths
- brief gains a Business Walkthroughs section connecting each persona
  flow to the phase that replaces it
- new modernize-preflight command: detects the stack, checks analysis
  tooling, smoke-compiles a real source file with the legacy toolchain,
  inventories missing copybooks/descriptors/binary-only artifacts, and
  writes a per-command readiness verdict
- transform now verifies legacy + target toolchains before its plan
  gate instead of failing at test time
- README: commands updated, optional-tooling section reframed as 'what
  to give Claude'

description: Generate a phased Modernization Brief — the approved plan that transformation agents will execute against
argument-hint: <system-dir> [target-stack]
---
Synthesize everything in `analysis/$1/` into a **Modernization Brief** — the
single document a steering committee approves and engineering executes.
Target stack: `$2` (if blank, recommend one based on the assessment findings).
Read `analysis/$1/ASSESSMENT.md`, `analysis/$1/TOPOLOGY.html` (and the `.mmd`
files alongside it), and `analysis/$1/BUSINESS_RULES.md` first. If any are
missing, say so and stop — they come from `/modernize-assess`, `/modernize-map`,
and `/modernize-extract-rules` respectively. Run those first.
## The Brief
Write `analysis/$1/MODERNIZATION_BRIEF.md`:
### 1. Objective
One paragraph: from what, to what, why now.
### 2. Target Architecture
Mermaid C4 Container diagram of the *end state*. Name every service, data
store, and integration. Below it, a table mapping legacy component → target
component(s).
### 3. Phased Sequence
Break the work into 3-6 phases using **strangler-fig ordering** — lowest-risk,
fewest-dependencies first. For each phase:
- Scope (which legacy modules, which target services)
- Entry criteria (what must be true to start)
- Exit criteria (what tests/metrics prove it's done)
- Estimated effort (person-weeks, derived from COCOMO + complexity data)
- Risk level + top 2 risks + mitigation
Render the phases as a Mermaid `gantt` chart.
### 4. Business Walkthroughs
For each persona flow in `analysis/$1/topology.json` (`flows` — produced
by `/modernize-map`), a short narrative table: persona, what happens in
business language, which legacy modules implement it today, and which
phase from §3 replaces each. This is the section non-technical approvers
actually read — it connects "Phase 2" to "what happens when a customer
files a claim". If topology.json has no flows, derive 23 walkthroughs
from the entry points and say they need SME confirmation.
### 5. Behavior Contract
List the **P0 rules** from BUSINESS_RULES.md (the ones tagged `Priority: P0`
money, regulatory, data integrity) that MUST be proven equivalent before any
phase ships. These become the regression suite. Flag any P0 rule with
Confidence < High as a blocker requiring SME confirmation before its phase
starts.
### 6. Validation Strategy
State which combination applies: characterization tests, contract tests,
parallel-run / dual-execution diff, property-based tests, manual UAT.
Justify per phase.
### 7. Open Questions
Anything requiring human/SME decision before Phase 1 starts. Each as a
checkbox the approver must tick.
### 8. Approval Block
```
Approved by: ________________ Date: __________
Approval covers: Phase 1 only | Full plan
```
## Present
Enter **plan mode** and present a summary of the brief. Do NOT proceed to any
transformation until the user explicitly approves. This gate is the
human-in-the-loop control point.
