+//! Cross-Mode Consistency Test: Server, REPL, and CLI
+//!
+//! This test verifies that search results and KG ranking are IDENTICAL across:
+//! - Server mode (HTTP API)
+//! - REPL mode (interactive commands)
+//! - CLI mode (direct command execution)
+//!
+//! The test performs the same search operations through all three interfaces
+//! and asserts that results match exactly, ensuring no mode-specific bugs.

+//! Comprehensive Knowledge Graph Ranking Integration Test
+//!
+//! This test demonstrates how knowledge graphs enhance search relevance by:
+//! 1. Searching documents with different relevance functions (bm25, title-scorer, terraphim-graph)
+//! 2. Creating a KG-enabled role with specific terms
+//! 3. Adding KG terms programmatically via API
+//! 4. Proving that document ranking changes with KG-based ranking
+//!
+//! The test uses real server calls and verifies:
+//! - Snapshot comparisons of result sets
+//! - Explicit ranking position assertions  
+//! - Score comparisons between different relevance functions
+//! - Consistency across Server, REPL, and CLI modes

+## 3. Comparative Analysis
+
+### 3.1 Language/Stack Differences
+
+| Dimension | **pi-mono** | **terraphim-ai** |
+|-----------|-------------|------------------|
+| **Primary Language** | TypeScript (96.4%) | Rust (backend) + TypeScript (frontend) |
+| **Runtime** | Node.js 20+ | Native (Rust) + tokio async |
+| **Package Manager** | npm with workspaces | Cargo workspace |
+| **Memory Safety** | GC-based | Compile-time (ownership/borrowing) |
+| **Performance** | Good (interpreted) | Excellent (native + zero-copy) |
+| **WASM Support** | Limited | First-class (terraphim_automata) |
+
+**Key Observations**:
+- pi-mono prioritizes development velocity with TypeScript's flexibility
+- terraphim-ai prioritizes performance and safety with Rust's guarantees
+- Both use TypeScript for frontend (terraphim-ai desktop is Svelte + Tauri)
+
+### 3.2 Architecture Patterns
+
+| Pattern | **pi-mono** | **terraphim-ai** |
+|---------|-------------|------------------|
+| **Modularity** | npm packages with clear boundaries | Cargo crates with workspace |
+| **Dependency Injection** | Constructor-based | Trait-based (Rust) |
+| **State Management** | Class-based with event emitters | Immutable + channel-based |
+| **Concurrency** | Async/await (single-threaded) | Tokio (multi-threaded async) |
+| **Error Handling** | try/catch + union types | Result<T,E> + ? operator |
+| **Configuration** | SettingsManager (hierarchical) | 4-level priority system |
+
+**pi-mono Agent Pattern**:
+```typescript
+// Event-driven with pub/sub
+class Agent {
+  private listeners = new Set<(e: AgentEvent) => void>();
+  subscribe(fn: (e: AgentEvent) => void): () => void;
+  steer(m: AgentMessage);  // Mid-conversation intervention
+}
+```
+
+**terraphim-ai Service Pattern**:
+```rust
+// Trait-based abstraction with async
+#[async_trait]
+pub trait Service: Send + Sync {
+    async fn search(&self, query: SearchQuery) -> Result<Vec<Document>>;
+}
+```
+
+### 3.3 Code Organization & Modularity
+
+**pi-mono**:
+- Strengths: Clear package separation, npm workspace integration, shared tsconfig
+- Weaknesses: Tight internal coupling (packages reference each other by version)
+- 7 main packages with focused responsibilities
+
+**terraphim-ai**:
+- Strengths: 40+ crates for fine-grained modularity, feature flags for compile-time selection
+- Weaknesses: Complex dependency graph, many experimental crates excluded
+- Workspace members include binaries, crates, and nested WASM projects
+
+### 3.4 Build/Test Tooling
+
+| Tool | **pi-mono** | **terraphim-ai** |
+|------|-------------|------------------|
+| **Build** | npm scripts + tsgo | Cargo + Earthly |
+| **Linting** | Biome | Clippy + cargo fmt |
+| **Testing** | Vitest | cargo test + Playwright |
+| **CI/CD** | GitHub Actions | GitHub Actions + Earthfile |
+| **Documentation** | Markdown | Markdown + mdBook |
+| **Release** | npm publish + GitHub | release-plz + multi-platform |
+
+**pi-mono Build Chain**:
+```bash
+npm run build    # Ordered: tui -> ai -> agent -> coding-agent -> mom -> web-ui -> pods
+npm run check    # Biome + TypeScript check
+npm test         # Vitest across packages
+```
+
+**terraphim-ai Build Chain**:
+```bash
+cargo build --workspace           # Build all crates
+cargo test --workspace            # Run all tests
+cd desktop && yarn test           # Frontend tests
+cd desktop && yarn e2e            # Playwright E2E
+earthly +pipeline                 # Full stack build
+```
+
+### 3.5 Documentation Practices
+
+**pi-mono**:
+- Standard README per package
+- AGENTS.md for AI agent guidance
+- CONTRIBUTING.md for contribution guidelines
+- Changelog per package
+- MIT License
+
+**terraphim-ai**:
+- Comprehensive `.docs/` folder with 50+ files
+- Automated file summary generation (`summary-<file>.md`)
+- Consolidated `summary.md` with architecture overview
+- Multiple agent instruction files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md)
+- Conventional commits enforcement
+- Apache 2.0 License
+
+### 3.6 Agent/AI Integration Approaches
+
+**pi-mono Approach**:
+- **Unified LLM API**: Single interface for multiple providers
+- **Agent Runtime**: Event-driven loop with tool calling
+- **Extension System**: npm/git/local package loading
+- **Session Management**: File-based .jsonl sessions
+- **Steering API**: Real-time conversation intervention
+
+**Key Integration Pattern**:
+```typescript
+// Extension system for custom providers
+interface Extension {
+  flags: Map<string, Flag>;
+  runtime: ExtensionRuntime;
+}
+
+// Provider registration at runtime
+modelRegistry.registerProvider(name, config);
+```
+
+**terraphim-ai Approach**:
+- **Multi-Agent System**: 13 specialized agents with workflow patterns
+- **Knowledge Graph**: Aho-Corasick automata for semantic search
+- **MCP Server**: Model Context Protocol for AI tool integration
+- **Hooks System**: Pre/Post tool validation and replacement
+- **Firecracker VMs**: Sandboxed code execution
+
+**Key Integration Pattern**:
+```rust
+// Knowledge graph enrichment
+pub fn get_enriched_context_for_query(
+    query: &str,
+    rolegraph: &RoleGraph,
+) -> String;
+
+// Two-stage validation hooks
+pub enum ValidationDecision {
+    Allow,
+    Block { reason: String },
+    Replace { replacement: String },
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Architectural Quality Assessment
+
+### 4.1 Maintainability
+
+**pi-mono**:

+- Strengths: Clear package boundaries, consistent TypeScript patterns, good test coverage
+- Weaknesses: Tight coupling between packages, build ordering dependencies, large main.ts (1000+ lines)
+
+**terraphim-ai**:
+- Grade: A-
+- Strengths: Excellent modularity (40+ crates), feature flags, comprehensive documentation, security-first design
+- Weaknesses: Complex workspace structure, many experimental crates, steep learning curve for contributors
+
+### 4.2 Software Engineering Best Practices
+
+**pi-mono**:
+- Strict TypeScript with Node16 module resolution
+- Biome linting with recommended rules
+- Automated testing with Vitest

+
+### 4.3 Key Recommendations
+
+**For pi-mono**:
+1. Consider breaking down `main.ts` into smaller modules
+2. Add more explicit architectural documentation
+3. Consider adding Rust/WASM for performance-critical paths
+4. Expand test coverage for edge cases
+
+**For terraphim-ai**:
+1. Consolidate or remove experimental crates
+2. Add more inline code examples in documentation
+3. Consider a TypeScript-first API for broader adoption
+4. Add architecture decision records (ADRs)
+
+---
+
+## 5. Conclusion
+
+Both repositories represent high-quality AI agent toolkits with different architectural philosophies:
+
+- **pi-mono** excels at rapid development and TypeScript ecosystem integration, with a clean npm workspace structure and excellent CLI UX
+- **terraphim-ai** excels at performance, security, and multi-language distribution, with a sophisticated Rust-based architecture and comprehensive privacy-first design
+
+The choice between them depends on use case: pi-mono for JavaScript/TypeScript environments needing quick integration, terraphim-ai for performance-critical or security-sensitive applications requiring native execution.
+
+**Lessons for terraphim-ai:**
+1. pi-mono's steering API for mid-conversation intervention is an excellent UX pattern
+2. The extension system with runtime provider registration enables flexibility
+3. The unified LLM API abstraction reduces vendor lock-in
+4. Session management with fork support enables powerful conversation branching
