feat: implement architectural layer independence test runner with chaos engineering (issue #35)

Comprehensive chaos engineering system for validating clean architecture layer independence:

- 7-layer architectural dependency matrix with transitive dependencies
- Multiple chaos injection strategies (import_failure, module_unavailable, function_failure)
- Automated dependency violation detection and reporting
- Safe chaos injection with state restoration mechanisms
- Integrated Makefile targets for chaos testing workflow
- Comprehensive logging and result persistence
- JSON report generation with architectural insights

Makefile additions:
- chaos-validate: Full architectural independence validation
- chaos-matrix: Display dependency matrix
- chaos-inject: Targeted layer chaos injection
- chaos-report: Generate comprehensive analysis reports

The system systematically injects controlled failures and monitors impact across
architectural layers to ensure proper isolation and dependency management.

+# MarkiTect Project - Claude Code Rules
+# =====================================
+# Guidelines for Claude Code when working with the MarkiTect project
+# This project follows TDD8 methodology with Clean Architecture
+
+## Project Overview
+This is a high-performance markdown processing engine with database integration,
+AST-based parsing, and sophisticated caching. The project follows Clean Architecture
+principles with strict separation of concerns.
+
+## Directory Structure & Clean Architecture
+```
+markitect_project/
+├── domain/          # Business logic (innermost layer)
+├── application/     # Use cases and workflows
+├── infrastructure/ # External interfaces (database, file system)
+├── cli/            # Presentation layer (CLI interface)
+├── markitect/      # Core markdown processing engine
+├── tests/          # Comprehensive test suite (TDD8 methodology)
+├── docs/           # Architecture and user documentation
+└── tddai/          # TDD workflow tools and utilities
+```
+
+## Core Principles
+
+### 1. TDD8 Methodology - ALWAYS FOLLOW
+1. **ISSUE**: Analyze GitHub issue and extract requirements
+2. **TEST**: Write comprehensive tests BEFORE implementation
+3. **RED**: Ensure tests fail initially (validate test correctness)
+4. **GREEN**: Implement minimum viable solution to pass tests
+5. **REFACTOR**: Improve code quality and design
+6. **DOCUMENT**: Update documentation and examples
+7. **REFINE**: Performance optimization and edge cases
+8. **PUBLISH**: Integration validation and delivery
+
+### 2. Clean Architecture Dependency Rules
+- **NEVER violate dependency inversion**: Outer layers depend on inner layers, never reverse
+- **Domain layer**: Pure business logic, no external dependencies
+- **Application layer**: Use cases, may depend only on domain
+- **Infrastructure layer**: External concerns (database, CLI, API)
+- **Presentation layer**: User interfaces (CLI commands)
+
+### 3. Testing Requirements
+- **Minimum 80% test coverage** - Use `pytest --cov=markitect --cov-report=html`
+- **Test naming**: `test_issue_{issue_num}_{scenario}.py` pattern
+- **Architectural testing**: Run tests by layer (`make test-domain`, `make test-infrastructure`)
+- **Performance validation**: All cache operations must be <50% of parsing time
+- **TDD workspace**: Use `.tddai_workspace/` for issue-specific development
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Starting Work on an Issue
+```bash
+# Always start with TDD workspace
+make tdd-start NUM=<issue_number>
+
+# Analyze requirements first
+make validate-requirements
+
+# Create tests before implementation
+make tdd-add-test
+```
+
+### Code Quality Gates
+```bash
+# Run before any commit
+make test                    # All tests must pass
+make lint                   # Code style compliance
+make test-coverage NUM=X    # Verify coverage targets
+make validate-mocks         # Mock compatibility
+```
+
+### Performance Requirements
+- **Cache operations**: <50% of initial parsing time (enforced by tests)
+- **Memory usage**: <50MB baseline for normal operations
+- **Database queries**: Sub-millisecond metadata retrieval
+- **Bulk operations**: Linear scaling with document count
+
+## Technology Stack & Dependencies
+
+### Core Technologies
+- **Python 3.8+** with type hints (gradual mypy adoption)
+- **SQLite** for database operations (ACID compliance required)
+- **markdown-it-py** for AST processing
+- **pytest** for testing with comprehensive fixtures
+- **Click** for CLI framework
+
+### Key Libraries
+- `PyYAML` - Front matter processing
+- `jsonpath-ng` - AST querying
+- `tabulate` - Output formatting
+- `aiohttp` - Async HTTP operations
+
+## Coding Standards
+
+### Python Code Style
+- **Type hints**: Use where possible (gradual mypy adoption)
+- **Docstrings**: Required for all public methods
+- **Error handling**: Comprehensive exception handling and validation
+- **Security**: Never log secrets, validate all inputs, prevent SQL injection
+
+### File Organization
+- **One concept per file**: Clear separation of responsibilities
+- **Interface segregation**: Clean interfaces between layers
+- **Plugin architecture**: Support modular extensions
+
+### Database Operations
+- **Read-only queries**: Default to safe operations
+- **Transaction safety**: Use ACID compliance for batch operations
+- **Performance optimization**: Leverage SQLite capabilities
+- **Migration support**: Schema versioning and updates
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### CLI Command Structure
+```python
+@click.command()
+@click.option('--format', type=click.Choice(['table', 'json', 'yaml']))
+def command_name(format):
+    """Command description with clear purpose."""
+    try:
+        # Implementation with proper error handling
+        pass
+    except SpecificException as e:
+        # Provide helpful error messages
+        pass
+```
+
+### Test Structure (TDD8 Pattern)
+```python
+class TestIssue{N}_{Description}:
+    """Test suite for issue #{N}: {description}"""
+
+    def test_{scenario}_success(self):
+        """Test successful operation scenario."""
+        # Arrange
+        # Act
+        # Assert
+
+    def test_{scenario}_error_handling(self):
+        """Test error handling scenario."""
+        # Test edge cases and error conditions
+```
+
+### Domain Model Pattern
+```python
+from dataclasses import dataclass
+from typing import Optional
+
+@dataclass
+class DomainEntity:
+    """Domain entity with business logic."""
+    id: str
+    name: str
+
+    def business_method(self) -> bool:
+        """Business logic belongs in domain layer."""
+        return True
+```
+
+## Performance Guidelines
+
+### AST Caching System
+- **Cache validation**: Automatic timestamp-based invalidation
+- **Serialization**: Optimized JSON format for AST storage
+- **Memory management**: Careful resource cleanup
+- **Performance contracts**: <50% of parsing time (tested)
+
+### Database Optimization
+- **Query optimization**: Use appropriate indexes
+- **Batch operations**: Minimize database round trips
+- **Connection management**: Proper connection lifecycle
+- **Read-only defaults**: Safety-first approach
+
+## Security Requirements
+
+### Input Validation
+- **SQL injection prevention**: Use parameterized queries
+- **Path traversal protection**: Validate file paths
+- **Command injection**: Sanitize shell command inputs
+- **YAML safety**: Safe loading of front matter
+
+### Secrets Management
+- **Never log secrets**: Authentication tokens, passwords
+- **Environment variables**: Use for sensitive configuration
+- **Git repository**: Never commit credentials
+- **Error messages**: Don't expose sensitive information
+
+## Documentation Standards
+
+### Code Documentation
+- **API documentation**: Clear method signatures and purposes
+- **Architecture decisions**: Document in docs/architecture/
+- **Usage examples**: Include practical examples
+- **Performance notes**: Document performance characteristics
+
+### User Documentation
+- **CLI help**: Comprehensive command documentation
+- **Configuration**: Clear setup instructions
+- **Troubleshooting**: Common issues and solutions
+- **Performance**: Usage optimization guidelines
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### Git Platform Integration
+- **Gitea API**: Primary integration for issue management
+- **GitHub compatibility**: Support multiple platforms
+- **Authentication**: Token-based with multiple sources
+- **Error handling**: Robust network failure handling
+
+### Development Tools
+- **Makefile integration**: Standard development commands
+- **pytest integration**: Comprehensive test framework
+- **mypy integration**: Gradual type checking adoption
+- **CLI tools**: Complete command-line interface
+
+## Common Mistakes to Avoid
+
+### Architecture Violations
+- ❌ **Domain depending on infrastructure**: Never import database in domain
+- ❌ **Skipping tests**: Never implement without tests first (TDD8)
+- ❌ **Performance assumptions**: Always validate cache performance
+- ❌ **Direct database access**: Use repository pattern
+
+### Security Issues
+- ❌ **SQL injection**: Always use parameterized queries
+- ❌ **Logging secrets**: Never log authentication tokens
+- ❌ **Unsafe YAML**: Use yaml.safe_load() not yaml.load()
+- ❌ **Path injection**: Validate and sanitize file paths
+
+### Testing Issues
+- ❌ **Insufficient coverage**: Maintain >80% test coverage
+- ❌ **Missing edge cases**: Test error conditions thoroughly
+- ❌ **Test dependencies**: Tests must be independent
+- ❌ **Performance tests**: Validate cache performance contracts
+
+## When Making Changes
+
+### Before Implementation
+1. **Read the issue**: Understand requirements completely
+2. **TDD workspace**: Use `make tdd-start NUM=X`
+3. **Write tests first**: Follow TDD8 methodology strictly
+4. **Validate architecture**: Ensure clean dependency flow
+
+### During Implementation
+1. **Red-Green-Refactor**: Follow TDD cycle religiously
+2. **Performance validation**: Test cache performance contracts
+3. **Security review**: Validate input handling and safety
+4. **Documentation updates**: Keep docs current with changes
+
+### Before Completion
+1. **Full test suite**: `make test` must pass completely
+2. **Performance benchmarks**: Validate performance requirements
+3. **Code quality**: `make lint` and type checking
+4. **Integration tests**: Verify end-to-end functionality
+
+## Emergency Procedures
+
+### If Tests Fail
+1. **Don't ignore**: Never commit with failing tests
+2. **Isolate issue**: Use `make test-module MODULE=name`
+3. **Check dependencies**: Verify layer boundary violations
+4. **Performance regression**: Check cache performance contracts
+
+### If Performance Degrades
+1. **Run benchmarks**: Use performance test suite
+2. **Cache validation**: Verify cache hit rates and timing
+3. **Memory profiling**: Check for memory leaks
+4. **Database optimization**: Review query performance
+
+### If Security Issues Found
+1. **Immediate assessment**: Evaluate impact and scope
+2. **Input validation**: Review all user input handling
+3. **Secrets audit**: Check for credential exposure
+4. **Dependency updates**: Update vulnerable dependencies
+
+Remember: This project's success depends on maintaining architectural discipline,
+comprehensive testing, and performance contracts. When in doubt, ask for clarification
+and always prioritize correctness over speed of implementation.

+   - Or install to user directory instead
+
+3. **Python version error:**
+   - MarkiTect requires Python 3.8 or higher
+   - Check version: `python3 --version`
+
+4. **Installation already exists:**
+   - Use `--force` to overwrite: `./install.sh --force`
+   - Or uninstall first: `./install.sh --uninstall`
+
+### Manual PATH Setup
+
+If symbolic links don't work, add the virtual environment bin directory to your PATH:
+
+```bash
+# For bash/zsh (add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc)
+export PATH="$HOME/.local/lib/markitect/bin:$PATH"
+
+# For fish (add to ~/.config/fish/config.fish)
+set -gx PATH $HOME/.local/lib/markitect/bin $PATH
+```
+
+### Testing Installation
+
+After installation, verify everything works:
+

+
+# 2. Review and commit changes
+git add -A && git commit -m "Prepare release 1.0.0"
+
+# 3. Publish the release
+make release-publish VERSION=1.0.0
+```
+
+## Release Commands
+
+### Status and Validation
+
+```bash
+# Check current release status
+make release-status
+
+# Validate repository for release
+make release-validate
+```
+
+### Release Preparation
+
+```bash
+# Prepare a new release (updates version, changelog)
+make release-prepare VERSION=x.y.z
+
+# Test preparation without making changes
+make release-dry-run VERSION=x.y.z
+```
+
+### Building and Publishing
+
+```bash
+# Build release packages only
+make release-build [VERSION=x.y.z]
+
+# Complete release (build + tag + publish)
+make release-publish VERSION=x.y.z
+```
+
+## Versioning Strategy
+
+MarkiTect follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/):
+
+- **MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH** (e.g., 1.2.3)
+- **Pre-release**: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-{alpha|beta|rc}.N (e.g., 1.2.3-beta.1)
+
+### Version Types
+
+- **Major (X.0.0)**: Breaking changes, incompatible API changes
+- **Minor (x.Y.0)**: New features, backward compatible
+- **Patch (x.y.Z)**: Bug fixes, backward compatible
+- **Pre-release**: Alpha, beta, or release candidate versions
+
+### Examples
+
+```bash
+# Major release
+make release-prepare VERSION=2.0.0
+
+# Minor release
+make release-prepare VERSION=1.1.0
+
+# Patch release
+make release-prepare VERSION=1.0.1
+
+# Pre-release
+make release-prepare VERSION=1.1.0-beta.1
+```
+
+## Release Validation
+
+Before a release can be created, the following validations are performed:
+
+### Required Conditions
+
+1. **Clean Repository**: No uncommitted changes
+2. **Main Branch**: Must be on the `main` branch
+3. **Passing Tests**: All tests must pass
+4. **Valid Version**: Version must follow semantic versioning
+5. **Version Increment**: New version must be greater than current
+
+### Override Validation
+
+Use `--force` to override validation warnings:
+
+```bash
+python release.py prepare --version 1.0.1 --force
+```
+
+## Automated Release Process
+
+### What `release-prepare` Does
+
+1. **Version Update**: Updates `pyproject.toml` and `markitect/__version__.py`
+2. **Changelog Generation**: Creates/updates `CHANGELOG.md` from git commits
+3. **Validation**: Ensures repository is ready for release
+
+### What `release-publish` Does
+
+1. **Package Building**: Creates source distribution and wheel
+2. **Git Tagging**: Creates annotated git tag (e.g., `v1.0.0`)
+3. **Tag Push**: Pushes tag to remote repository
+
+## Manual Release Process
+
+If you prefer manual control:
+
+### 1. Update Version
+
+```bash
+# Edit pyproject.toml
+version = "1.0.0"
+
+# Edit markitect/__version__.py
+__version__ = "1.0.0"
+```
+
+### 2. Update Changelog
+
+Edit `CHANGELOG.md` to add release notes for the new version.
+
+### 3. Commit Changes
+
+```bash
+git add -A
+git commit -m "Prepare release 1.0.0"
+```
+
+### 4. Build Packages
+
+```bash
+make release-build
+```
+
+### 5. Create Git Tag
+
+```bash
+git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "Release 1.0.0"
+git push origin v1.0.0
+```
+
+## Distribution
+
+### Package Types
+
+MarkiTect releases include:
+
+- **Source Distribution** (`.tar.gz`): Full source code package
+- **Wheel** (`.whl`): Pre-built binary package for faster installation
+
+### Installation Methods
+
+Users can install MarkiTect in several ways:
+
+```bash
+# From PyPI (when published)
+pip install markitect
+
+# From wheel file
+pip install markitect-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
+
+# From source
+pip install markitect-1.0.0.tar.gz
+
+# Development installation
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+### Release Artifacts
+
+Each release creates:
+
+- Source and wheel packages in `dist/`
+- Git tag (e.g., `v1.0.0`)
+- Updated `CHANGELOG.md`
+- Updated version files
+

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Validation Failures**
+   ```bash
+   # Check what's wrong
+   make release-validate
+
+   # Force release if needed
+   python release.py prepare --version 1.0.0 --force
+   ```
+
+2. **Build Failures**
+   ```bash
+   # Install build dependencies
+   pip install build
+
+   # Clean and rebuild
+   rm -rf dist/ build/
+   make release-build
+   ```
+
+3. **Git Issues**
+   ```bash
+   # Check git status
+   git status
+
+   # Commit changes
+   git add -A && git commit -m "Prepare release"
+   ```
+
+4. **Version Conflicts**
+   ```bash
+   # Check current version
+   make release-status
+
+   # Use correct version number
+   make release-prepare VERSION=1.0.1  # Must be > current
+   ```
+
+### Getting Help
+
+```bash
+# Release tool help
+python release.py --help
+
+# Makefile targets
+make help
+
+# Command-specific help
+python release.py prepare --help
+```
+
+## Integration with CI/CD
+
+The release tools are designed to work with automated CI/CD pipelines:
+
+```yaml
+# Example GitHub Actions workflow
+- name: Create Release
+  run: |
+    make release-prepare VERSION=${{ github.event.inputs.version }}
+    git add -A
+    git commit -m "Prepare release ${{ github.event.inputs.version }}"
+    make release-publish VERSION=${{ github.event.inputs.version }}
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Release artifacts should be signed
+- Use trusted publishing methods
+- Verify package contents before distribution
+- Keep release tools and dependencies updated
+
+## Support
+
+For release-related issues:
+
+1. Check this documentation
+2. Run `make release-status` for diagnostics
+3. Use `--dry-run` to test changes
+4. Report issues on the project tracker

+Architectural Layer Independence Test Runner with Chaos Engineering
+
+This module implements a sophisticated chaos engineering system that validates
+architectural layer independence by injecting controlled failures and monitoring
+the impact on dependent and independent layers.
+
+The system systematically tests that:
+1. Failures in lower layers propagate only to dependent upper layers
+2. Independent layers remain unaffected by failures in unrelated layers
+3. The dependency matrix matches the intended architectural design
+
+Usage:
+    python chaos_test_runner.py [options]
+
+Commands:
+    validate-independence    Run full architectural independence validation
+    inject-layer-failure     Inject failure into specific layer
+    dependency-matrix        Show architectural dependency matrix
+    chaos-report            Generate comprehensive chaos test report
