+# Development Log: Project Chronicle Guard Feedback Response
+
+## Purpose
+Improve Chronicle Guard behavior after testing showed the assistant still answered like a general idea proposer instead of a project planning and record guard.
+
+## Feedback Summary
+The tested response understood the broad idea, but missed key guard behaviors:
+- Project target check
+- Record path check
+- Question intent and question reasons
+- Pending decision candidates
+- Low-dependency MVP first
+- Candidate records at the end
+- Plain engineering tone
+
+## Implementation Summary
+- Made Chronicle Guard context apply by default unless explicitly disabled from the webview payload.
+- Strengthened the Guard response contract for new ideas and feature requests.
+- Added required response order: summary, intent, project check, record path check, blocking questions, question reasons, direction review, MVP, later expansion, candidate records.
+- Added decision policy so unconfirmed decisions stay pending.
+- Added tone rules against inflated consulting language and premature Vector DB / relational DB / knowledge graph suggestions.
+- Extracted Guard prompt generation into `buildProjectChronicleGuardContext`.
+- Added tests that lock the most important Guard rules.
+- Added base system prompt guidance to prefer practical MVP-first answers for product and architecture discussions.
+
+## Changed Files
+- `src/features/projectChronicle/guardPrompt.ts`
+- `src/features/projectChronicle/index.ts`
+- `src/sidebarProvider.ts`
+- `src/utils.ts`
+- `tests/projectChronicleGuardPrompt.test.ts`
+
+## Verification
+- `./node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit`
+- `npm run compile`
+- `./node_modules/.bin/jest --runInBand`
+
+## Result
+Chronicle Guard should now behave less like a general ideation assistant and more like a project planning, decision, and record guard.
