πŸš€ Key Technical Achievements

CLI Enhancement Example

# New --config parameter support
terraphim-agent --config /path/to/config.json search "test query"

# Comprehensive help text
terraphim-agent --help  # Shows detailed configuration guidance

Robust Error Handling

# User-friendly error messages
$ terraphim-agent --config nonexistent.json search test
Error: Configuration file not found: 'nonexistent.json'
Please ensure the file exists and the path is correct.
Example: terraphim-agent --config /path/to/config.json search query

Automated Testing

# Complete test matrix execution
./run_test_matrix.sh basic      # 30 combinations
./run_test_matrix.sh extended   # 90 combinations
./run_test_matrix.sh cleanup    # Automated cleanup
