# Development Log: Local Path Code Review Preflight

## Purpose
Prevent code review requests from falling back to "please upload files" when the user already provided an accessible local project path.

## User Feedback
When the user gave a local path such as `/Volumes/Data/project/Antigravity/Skybound`, the agent did not inspect the folder and repeatedly asked for uploaded files. The expected behavior is to attempt local access first, then request uploads only if access fails.

## Implementation Summary
- Added a Local Path Handling Rule to the base system prompt.
- Explicitly forbade upload requests before attempting local path inspection.
- Added code review ordering guidance: confirm path access, scan tree, inspect `package.json`, `src`, `docs`, README, and config files first.
- Added deterministic local project path preflight in the agent execution flow.
- When a review/analysis prompt contains an allowed Antigravity project path, the agent now:
  - validates path access
  - scans the directory tree
  - previews priority project files
  - injects the result into the model context before the answer is generated
- If access fails, the injected context includes the concrete failure reason.
- Follow-up fix: expanded the scan depth so nested files such as `src/features/game/systems/*.ts` are included in priority previews.
- Follow-up fix: added a final answer brake that removes upload-request wording when local path access already succeeded.

## Changed Files
- `src/agent.ts`
- `src/utils.ts`
- `tests/systemPrompt.test.ts`
- `tests/localPathPreflight.test.ts`

## Verification
- `./node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit`
- `npm run compile`
- `./node_modules/.bin/jest --runInBand`

## Result
For local project review requests, the agent should now inspect the provided path first and only ask for uploads when the path is inaccessible.
