 ## Current Focus
 
-Project is in **maintenance mode**. No active feature work. The module has not
-been touched for an extended period (last substantive work: October 2025
-documentation pass).
-
-This turn: refreshed the Memory Bank to align with the current agent
-definition (folder renamed `memory-bank/` → `.memory-bank/`, added
-`promptHistory.md`, trimmed `activeContext.md` and `progress.md` to the
-prescribed caps).
+Adding a new composite resource `AADSyncRuleCounts` that wraps the report-only
+`AADSyncRuleCount` DSC resource introduced in the `feature/AadsyncrulecountResource`
+branch of the `AADConnectDsc` repository (working copy at `d:\a`).
+
+The composite mirrors the existing `AADSyncRules` /
+`AADConnectDirectoryExtensionAttributes` schema-module pattern. It accepts an
+array of hashtables (`ConnectorName`, `RuleCount`) and emits one
+`AADSyncRuleCount` instance per item, mapping empty / `'*'` connector names to
+the literal token `AllConnectors` so execution names stay unique.
+
+Files added/changed on branch `ai/add-aadsyncrulecounts`:
+
+- `source/DSCResources/AADSyncRuleCounts/AADSyncRuleCounts.psd1`
+- `source/DSCResources/AADSyncRuleCounts/AADSyncRuleCounts.schema.psm1`
+- `tests/Unit/DSCResources/Assets/Config/AADSyncRuleCounts.yml`
+- `docs/AADSyncRuleCounts.md`
+- `examples/6-AADSyncRuleCounts.ps1`
+- `examples/README.md`, `README.md`, `CHANGELOG.md` updates
+- This memory bank refresh
 
 ## Open Decisions
 
-None. No pending design questions.
+- Discovered (and fixed) a pre-existing bug: the module manifest was missing
+  `DscResourcesToExport`, which made `Get-DscResource -Module` return zero
+  composite resources in PowerShell 7. The build had been silently broken.
+- The `AADSyncRuleCounts` compile test is enabled. It requires an
+  `AADConnectDsc` build that exposes `AADSyncRuleCount` (v0.6.0 of
+  `AADConnectDsc` or later). Local build uses the 0.6.0 build copied
+  from `d:\a` into `output/RequiredModules/AADConnectDsc/0.6.0/`. CI will
+  pick it up once `RequiredModules.psd1` (already `latest`) resolves to a
+  published version that ships `AADSyncRuleCount`.
+- **In-process DSC parser caching**: `Get-DscResource -Module` and the DSC
+  keyword table are cached per process. Re-running the build in a long-lived
+  pwsh session that previously loaded an older `AADConnectDsc` will leave
+  stale keywords and make the new resource appear missing. Always run the
+  build in a fresh process (or `pwsh -NoProfile`) when changing the
+  underlying `AADConnectDsc` version.
 
 ## Next Steps (when work resumes)
 
-1. Verify build still passes against current `AADConnectDsc` and `Sampler`
-   versions (`./build.ps1 -AutoRestore -Tasks test`).
-2. Refresh `RequiredModules.psd1` pins if dependencies have moved.
-3. Review open issues / PRs on the DscCommunity repo before any change.
-4. Reconsider whether `productContext.md` should be folded into
-   `projectbrief.md` — it is no longer in the always-loaded set per the new
-   agent spec and currently lives as an on-demand topic file.
+1. Wait for the `AADConnectDsc` PR (`feature/AadsyncrulecountResource`) to be
+   merged and a new version published, so CI can resolve `AADConnectDsc` from
+   the gallery instead of relying on the local 0.6.0 copy.
+2. Cut a release with the `Unreleased` entry promoted to a numbered version.
 
 ## Non-Goals

 ## Recent Log
 
+- 2026-05-18 — Re-enabled the `AADSyncRuleCounts` compile test now that the
+  locally-built `AADConnectDsc 0.6.0` (with `AADSyncRuleCount`) is staged
+  under `output/RequiredModules/AADConnectDsc/0.6.0/`. Full build in a fresh
+  pwsh session passes 8/8 tests. Documented the in-process DSC parser
+  keyword-cache pitfall in `activeContext.md`.
+- 2026-05-18 — Fixed the broken build: added missing `DscResourcesToExport`
+  to the module manifest (root cause: `Get-DscResource -Module` returned 0,
+  so the per-resource compile tests never ran and the Final tests failed),
+  and skipped the `AADSyncRuleCounts` compile test until `AADConnectDsc`
+  publishes `AADSyncRuleCount`. Full default build now exits 0.
+- 2026-05-18 — Added `AADSyncRuleCounts` composite resource on branch
+  `ai/add-aadsyncrulecounts` wrapping the new report-only `AADSyncRuleCount`
+  resource from `AADConnectDsc` (`feature/AadsyncrulecountResource`).
 - 2026-05-18 — Memory Bank refreshed: folder renamed to `.memory-bank/`,
   files trimmed to new agent-spec caps, `promptHistory.md` added.
 - 2025-10 — Documentation pass: README cross-links to `docs/`, examples

+
+- New composite resource `AADSyncRuleCounts` that wraps the report-only

+# AADSyncRuleCounts Composite Resource
+
+## Description
+
+The `AADSyncRuleCounts` composite resource processes arrays of Azure AD Connect
+sync-rule-count expectations and generates individual `AADSyncRuleCount` DSC
+resource instances. It is intended for bulk drift detection: each item declares
+the expected number of sync rules for a given connector (or across all
+connectors) and the underlying [AADSyncRuleCount](https://github.com/dsccommunity/AADConnectDsc) resource reports a configuration failure
+when the actual count diverges from the expected count.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The underlying `AADSyncRuleCount` resource is **report-only**. It does not
+> create or remove sync rules to reach the expected count. When drift is
+> detected the LCM marks the configuration as failed and the operator must
+> investigate manually.
+
+## Parameters
+
+### Items
+
+- **Type**: `hashtable[]`
+- **Required**: Yes
+- **Description**: Array of hashtables describing the expected sync-rule counts.
+
+Each hashtable must contain the parameters required by the underlying
+`AADSyncRuleCount` resource:
+
+| Property        | Type     | Required | Description |
+|-----------------|----------|----------|-------------|
+| `ConnectorName` | `string` | Yes (key) | Name of the AAD Connect connector to scope the count to. Use an empty string or `'*'` to count rules across **all** connectors. |
+| `RuleCount`     | `uint32` | Yes      | The expected number of sync rules for the scope. |
+
+## Behavior
+
+### Execution Name Generation
+
+Execution names are generated using the pattern:
+
+```text
+AADSyncRuleCount__{scope}
+```
+
+Where `{scope}` is the value of `ConnectorName`, except that an empty string or
+`'*'` is mapped to the literal token `AllConnectors` so the name remains a
+valid, unique resource identifier. Special characters (whitespace, brackets,
+slashes, colons, dashes) are replaced with `_` using the regex pattern
+`[\s(){}/\\:-]`.
+
+Examples:
+
+| `ConnectorName` value | Generated execution name              |
+|-----------------------|---------------------------------------|
+| `contoso.com`         | `AADSyncRuleCount__contoso.com`       |
+| `fabrikam.com`        | `AADSyncRuleCount__fabrikam.com`      |
+| `''` (empty)          | `AADSyncRuleCount__AllConnectors`     |
+| `*`                   | `AADSyncRuleCount__AllConnectors`     |
+
+### Resource Delegation
+
+Each item is passed to a single `AADSyncRuleCount` resource instance via the
+`Get-DscSplattedResource` utility. The composite performs no validation beyond
+ensuring the items are processable; the underlying resource is responsible for
+key/type validation.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Per-connector count check
+
+```powershell
+Configuration BasicRuleCounts {
+    Import-DscResource -ModuleName DscConfig.AADConnect
+
+    Node localhost {
+        AADSyncRuleCounts 'CompanyRuleCounts' {
+            Items = @(
+                @{ ConnectorName = 'contoso.com';  RuleCount = 42 }
+                @{ ConnectorName = 'fabrikam.com'; RuleCount = 30 }
+            )
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Example 2: Total count across all connectors
+
+```powershell
+Configuration TotalRuleCount {
+    Import-DscResource -ModuleName DscConfig.AADConnect
+
+    Node localhost {
+        AADSyncRuleCounts 'TotalCount' {
+            Items = @(
+                @{ ConnectorName = '*'; RuleCount = 168 }
+            )
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Example 3: Configuration-management integration
+
+```yaml
+# Datum / DscWorkshop configuration data
+AADSyncRuleCounts:
+  Items:
+    - ConnectorName: contoso.com
+      RuleCount: 42
+    - ConnectorName: fabrikam.com
+      RuleCount: 30
+    - ConnectorName: '*'
+      RuleCount: 168
+```
+
+```powershell
+Configuration DataDrivenRuleCounts {
+    Import-DscResource -ModuleName DscConfig.AADConnect
+
+    Node $AllNodes.NodeName {
+        AADSyncRuleCounts 'RuleCounts' {
+            Items = $ConfigurationData.AADSyncRuleCounts.Items
+        }
+    }
+}
+```

+## Related Resources
+
+- [AADSyncRuleCount](https://github.com/dsccommunity/AADConnectDsc) — the
+  underlying report-only DSC resource provided by `AADConnectDsc`.
+- [AADSyncRules](AADSyncRules.md) — companion composite resource that manages
+  the sync rules themselves.
+
+## Notes
+
+- This composite resource runs during DSC configuration compilation.
+- The companion `AADSyncRuleCount` resource ships with `AADConnectDsc`
+  starting with the version that introduces report-only count drift detection.
+  If your installed `AADConnectDsc` predates that version, compilation will
+  fail because the underlying resource is not present.
