## Implementation Details

### FR18: Auto-Linking from Commit Messages ✅

**Status:** ✅ Complete

**Implementation:**
- Created `src/tracertm/services/auto_link_service.py`
- Parses commit messages for story/item IDs using multiple patterns
- Automatically creates links between items and code
- Determines link type based on commit message keywords
- Supports commit hash metadata

**Patterns Supported:**
- `#STORY-123`
- `STORY-123` or `STORY 123`
- `[STORY-123]`
- `(STORY-123)`
- `story-123` (case insensitive)
- Full UUIDs

**Link Type Detection:**
- Test keywords → `tests` link type
- Implementation keywords → `implements` link type
- Default → `implements`

**CLI Command:**
```bash
rtm link auto-link "Implement feature #STORY-123" --code-item CODE-001
rtm link auto-link "Add test for auth" --code-item CODE-002 --commit-hash abc123
```

**Tests:** `tests/integration/test_epic4_auto_linking.py` (3 tests)

---

### FR21: Query Items by Relationship ✅

**Status:** ✅ Complete

**Implementation:**
- Enhanced `src/tracertm/cli/commands/query.py`
- Added `--related-to` option to query command
- Added `--link-type` filter for relationship queries
- Supports bidirectional relationship queries
- Works with JSON output

**Examples:**
```bash
# Query all items related to an item
rtm query --related-to ITEM-001

# Query items linked via specific relationship type
rtm query --related-to ITEM-001 --link-type tests

# JSON output
rtm query --related-to ITEM-001 --link-type implements --json
```

**Tests:** `tests/integration/test_epic4_query_by_relationship.py` (3 tests)

---

### FR22: Cycle Prevention for depends_on ✅

**Status:** ✅ Complete

**Implementation:**
- Created `src/tracertm/services/cycle_detection_service.py`
- Integrated cycle detection into link creation
- Prevents circular dependencies in `depends_on` relationships
- Uses DFS to detect cycles before link creation
- Provides cycle detection command for analysis

**Cycle Detection Algorithm:**
- Builds dependency graph from existing links
- Uses DFS to check if target can reach source
- Prevents link creation if cycle would be created
- Only applies to `depends_on` link type

**CLI Integration:**
- Link creation automatically checks for cycles
- Error message if cycle detected
- `rtm link detect-cycles` command for analysis

**Examples:**
```bash
# Create link (cycle check happens automatically)
rtm link create ITEM-A ITEM-B --type depends_on

# Detect cycles in project
rtm link detect-cycles
rtm link detect-cycles --type depends_on
```

**Tests:** `tests/integration/test_epic4_cycle_detection.py` (3 tests)

---

### FR19: Bidirectional Navigation ✅

**Status:** ✅ Complete (verified)

**Implementation:**
- Already implemented in `link show` command
- Displays both incoming and outgoing links
- Groups links by direction
- Shows link types and target/source items

**Verification:**
- `link show` command displays:
  - Outgoing Links (item → other items)
  - Incoming Links (other items → item)
- Works across all views
- Supports view filtering

**Tests:** `tests/integration/test_epic4_bidirectional_navigation.py` (2 tests)

---

# Auto-link from commit message
rtm link auto-link "Implement user auth #STORY-123" --code-item CODE-001

# With commit hash
rtm link auto-link "Fix bug in login" --code-item CODE-002 --commit-hash abc123def
```

### Query by Relationship (FR21)
```bash
# Find all items related to a feature
rtm query --related-to FEATURE-001

# Find only test items for a feature
rtm query --related-to FEATURE-001 --link-type tests

# JSON output
rtm query --related-to FEATURE-001 --link-type implements --json
```

### Cycle Prevention (FR22)
```bash
# Create link (automatically prevents cycles)
rtm link create ITEM-A ITEM-B --type depends_on

# Detect cycles in project

rtm link detect-cycles --type depends_on
```

### Bidirectional Navigation (FR19)
