+# AI Coding Agent Instructions for Tarot MCP Server
+
+## Project Overview
+This is a **professional-grade Model Context Protocol (MCP) server** for Rider-Waite tarot readings, built with TypeScript/Node.js. The server provides both MCP protocol and HTTP API endpoints with comprehensive tarot functionality.
+
+## Architecture & Key Components
+
+### Multi-Transport Entry Point
+- **`src/index.ts`**: Main entry with command-line parsing (`--transport stdio|http|sse --port 3000`)
+- **Transports**: stdio (MCP default), HTTP REST API, SSE (Server-Sent Events)
+- **Production**: Docker containerized with health checks and non-root user
+
+### Core Server Structure
+```
+src/
+├── index.ts              # Multi-transport entry point
+├── tarot-server.ts       # Core MCP tool handler (12 tools available)
+├── http-server.ts        # Express server with CORS, SSE, and health endpoints
+└── tarot/                # Tarot engine modules
+    ├── types.ts          # TypeScript definitions for all domain objects
+    ├── card-data.ts      # Complete 78-card Rider-Waite database
+    ├── card-manager.ts   # Card data management and search
+    ├── spreads.ts        # 25 professional spread definitions
+    ├── reading-manager.ts # Advanced interpretation engine
+    ├── session-manager.ts # Session tracking and history
+    ├── card-search.ts    # Multi-criteria search and similarity
+    ├── card-analytics.ts # Database analytics and reporting
+    ├── lunar-utils.ts    # Moon phase calculations and recommendations
+    └── utils.ts          # Cryptographic randomness utilities
+```
+
+### Critical Initialization Pattern
+The **`TarotServer.create()`** static factory method is **required** - never use `new TarotServer()`. This ensures proper async initialization of the card database:
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Correct
+const tarotServer = await TarotServer.create();
+
+// ❌ Wrong - will fail
+const tarotServer = new TarotServer();
+```
+
+## Core Domain Logic
+
+### Card Drawing & Randomness
+- **Cryptographically secure**: Uses `crypto.getRandomValues()` via `getSecureRandom()` in `utils.ts`
+- **50/50 distribution**: Equal probability for upright/reversed orientations
+- **Fisher-Yates shuffle**: Proper card randomization in `card-manager.ts`
+
+### Interpretation Engine Features
+- **Context-aware meanings**: Question analysis determines love/career/health/spiritual focus
+- **Multi-dimensional analysis**: Elemental balance, suit patterns, numerical progressions
+- **Spread-specific logic**: Celtic Cross position dynamics, Three Card flow analysis
+- **Advanced patterns**: Court card analysis, Major Arcana progressions, elemental balance
+
+### Spread System (25 Spreads)
+Key spreads with specialized analysis:
+- **`celtic_cross`**: 10-card comprehensive with position relationship analysis
+- **`three_card`**: Past/Present/Future with energy flow assessment
+- **`relationship_cross`**: 7-card relationship dynamics
+- **`career_path`**: 6-card professional guidance
+- **`chakra_alignment`**: 7-card energy center analysis
+- **Custom spreads**: 1-15 positions via `create_custom_spread` tool
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Build & Test Commands
+```bash
+# Development
+npm run dev          # stdio transport with hot reload
+npm run dev:http     # HTTP server with hot reload
+
+# Production
+npm run build        # TypeScript compilation to dist/
+npm start           # Run built stdio server
+npm run start:http  # Run built HTTP server
+
+# Testing
+npm test            # Jest with ESM support
+npm run test:watch  # Watch mode
+npm run test:coverage # Coverage reports
+
+# Docker
+npm run docker:build && npm run docker:run
+./deploy.sh         # Complete deployment script
+```
+
+### TypeScript Configuration
+- **ES2022/ESNext modules**: Uses `.js` extensions in imports despite `.ts` source
+- **Strict mode enabled**: Full type safety required
+- **ESM-first**: Jest configured for ESM with `ts-jest/presets/default-esm`
+
+### Import Patterns
+Always use `.js` extensions in imports (required for ESM):
+```typescript
+import { TarotCardManager } from "./tarot/card-manager.js";  // ✅ Correct
+import { TarotCardManager } from "./tarot/card-manager";     // ❌ Wrong
+```
+
+## API Integration Points
+
+### MCP Tools (12 Available)
+Key tools for AI integration:
+- **`perform_reading`**: Main reading function with 25+ spread types
+- **`create_custom_spread`**: Dynamic spread creation (1-15 positions)
+- **`get_card_info`**: Detailed card information with context
+- **`search_cards`**: Multi-criteria search (keyword, suit, element, etc.)
+- **`recommend_spread`**: AI-driven spread recommendations
+- **`get_moon_phase_reading`**: Lunar-based readings with automatic phase detection
+
+### HTTP Endpoints
+When running with `--transport http`:
+- **`POST /api/reading`**: Direct reading endpoint
+- **`POST /api/custom-spread`**: Custom spread creation
+- **`GET /health`**: Health check with endpoint discovery
+- **`GET /sse`**: MCP over Server-Sent Events
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### File Locations
+- **Tests**: `src/tarot/__tests__/*.test.ts`
+- **Jest config**: ESM-configured in `jest.config.js`
+- **Coverage**: Excludes test files, includes all `src/**/*.ts`
+
+### Test Patterns
+Focus on core business logic:
+- Card manager functionality and search
+- Reading interpretation accuracy
+- Spread configuration validation
+- Cryptographic randomness verification
+
+## Data & Configuration
+
+### Card Database
+- **Location**: `src/tarot/card-data.json` (78 complete cards)
+- **Structure**: Research-verified Rider-Waite with multiple contexts (general, love, career, health, spiritual)
+- **Quality**: Professional interpretations from Biddy Tarot, Labyrinthos sources
+
+### Spread Definitions
+- **Location**: `src/tarot/spreads.ts`
+- **Pattern**: Each spread has `name`, `description`, `cardCount`, `positions[]`
+- **Validation**: `isValidSpreadType()` and `getSpread()` helpers
+
+## Project-Specific Conventions
+
+### Error Handling
+- **MCP tools**: Return descriptive strings, never throw
+- **HTTP endpoints**: Use try/catch with proper status codes
+- **Async patterns**: Always await `TarotServer.create()`
+
+### Moon Phase Integration
+- **Automatic detection**: `calculateMoonPhase()` in `lunar-utils.ts`
+- **Themed spreads**: New moon intentions, full moon release
+- **Recommendations**: Context-aware lunar guidance
+
+### Session Management
+- **Optional**: Sessions track reading history when `sessionId` provided
+- **Stateless**: Server works without sessions for simple use cases
+- **History**: Full reading preservation with timestamps
+
+## Production Deployment
+
+### Docker Strategy
+- **Multi-stage**: Build in container, optimized production image
+- **Security**: Non-root user (`tarot:nodejs`)
+- **Health checks**: HTTP endpoint monitoring
+- **Default**: SSE transport on port 3000
+
+### Environment Variables
+- **`NODE_ENV`**: development/production
+- **`PORT`**: Override default 3000
+
+## Key Dependencies
+- **`@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`**: Core MCP protocol implementation
+- **`express`**: HTTP server with CORS support
+- **`zod`**: Runtime type validation (limited use)
+- **TypeScript/Jest**: Development and testing infrastructure
+
+## Common Pitfalls to Avoid
+1. **Never instantiate TarotServer directly** - always use `TarotServer.create()`
+2. **Don't forget `.js` extensions** in imports
+3. **Session IDs are optional** - don't require them
+4. **Card orientations are 50/50** - respect the cryptographic randomness
+5. **Context matters** - question analysis drives interpretation selection

+  - 在错误情况下重置初始化 Promise，允许重试
+  - 优化了内存使用，使用双重 Map 结构提升查找性能
+
+```typescript
+// 优化前
+private static instance: TarotCardManager;
+
+// 优化后  
+private static instance: TarotCardManager | null = null;
+private static initPromise: Promise<TarotCardManager> | null = null;
+```
+
+#### 1.2 卡片查找优化
+- **问题**: 原来使用单一 Map 存储，查找效率不够高
+- **解决方案**: 
+  - 分离 ID 查找和名称查找，使用两个专门的 Map
+  - 提升了查找性能，特别是按名称查找时
+
+```typescript
+private readonly cards: Map<string, TarotCard>;        // ID 查找
+private readonly cardsByName: Map<string, TarotCard>;   // 名称查找
+```
+
+### 🛡️ 2. 错误处理增强
+
+#### 2.1 统一错误处理系统
+- **新增**: 创建了完整的错误类型体系 (`src/tarot/errors.ts`)
+- **特性**:
+  - 继承自基础 `TarotError` 类
+  - 每个错误类型都有唯一的错误代码和HTTP状态码
+  - 包含上下文信息，便于调试
+  - 提供了安全的错误消息生成，避免敏感信息泄露
+
+```typescript
+export class CardNotFoundError extends TarotError {
+  readonly code = "CARD_NOT_FOUND";
+  readonly statusCode = 404;
+}
+
+export class InvalidSpreadError extends TarotError {
+  readonly code = "INVALID_SPREAD";
+  readonly statusCode = 400;
+}
+```
+
+#### 2.2 错误处理工具函数
+- `normalizeError()`: 将任意错误转换为标准格式
+- `createSafeErrorMessage()`: 创建用户友好的错误消息
+- `isTarotError()` 和 `isErrorType()`: 类型守卫函数
+
+### 📝 3. 输入验证系统
+
+#### 3.1 强类型验证框架
+- **新增**: 创建了完整的输入验证系统 (`src/tarot/validation.ts`)
+- **特性**:
+  - 类型安全的验证器
+  - 可组合的验证函数
+  - 详细的错误信息
+  - 支持复杂对象验证
+
+```typescript
+export const validateCardOrientation = validateEnum(
+  ["upright", "reversed"] as const,
+  "card orientation"
+);
+
+export const validateSearchParams: Validator<SearchParams> = (value: unknown) => {
+  // 复杂对象验证逻辑
+};
+```
+
+#### 3.2 安全性改进
+- 输入清理函数 `sanitizeString()`
+- 防止 XSS 攻击的字符过滤
+- 长度限制和格式验证
+
+### ⚡ 4. 代码质量提升
