Response Parser for Arris Modem Status Client
============================================

This module provides comprehensive parsing capabilities for HNAP (Home Network Administration Protocol)
responses from Arris cable modems. It transforms raw JSON responses into structured Python objects
with proper data validation, type conversion, and error handling.

The parser handles the complex task of extracting meaningful diagnostic information from the
modem's various HNAP endpoints, including channel information, system status, connection details,
and hardware specifications. It's designed to be resilient against data format variations and
provides consistent output regardless of firmware differences between modem models.

Core Functionality:
    * **HNAP Response Processing**: Parses multi-endpoint HNAP responses into structured data
    * **Channel Data Extraction**: Converts pipe-delimited channel strings into ChannelInfo objects
    * **Data Validation & Sanitization**: Ensures data consistency and handles missing/invalid fields
    * **Type Conversion**: Automatic formatting of frequencies, power levels, and signal metrics
    * **Error Resilience**: Graceful handling of malformed or incomplete responses

Supported Data Types:
    * System information (model, firmware, uptime, MAC address)
    * Connection status (internet, network access, boot status)
    * Channel diagnostics (downstream/upstream frequencies, power, SNR, error counts)
    * Security status (encryption, authentication states)
    * Timing information (system time, uptime parsing)

Parser Architecture:
    The parser follows a multi-stage approach:

    1. **Response Categorization**: Groups HNAP responses by data type (software, connection, channels)
    2. **Data Extraction**: Extracts specific fields from nested JSON structures
    3. **Format Standardization**: Converts raw values to consistent formats with units
    4. **Object Creation**: Builds ChannelInfo objects with proper typing and validation
    5. **Enhancement Integration**: Applies time parsing and additional processing

Examples:
    Basic parsing of modem responses:

    >>> from arris_modem_status.client.parser import HNAPResponseParser
    >>> parser = HNAPResponseParser()
    >>>
    >>> # Parse complete status from multiple HNAP responses
    >>> responses = {
    ...     "software_info": software_response_json,
    ...     "startup_connection": connection_response_json,
    ...     "channel_info": channel_response_json
    ... }
    >>> status = parser.parse_responses(responses)
    >>> print(f"Model: {status['model_name']}")
    >>> print(f"Channels: {len(status['downstream_channels'])}")

    Processing channel data:

    >>> # Extract and format channel information
    >>> channel_data = "1^Locked^256QAM^^549000000^0.6^39.0^15^0"
    >>> channels = parser._parse_channel_string(channel_data, "downstream")
    >>>
    >>> for channel in channels:
    ...     print(f"Channel {channel.channel_id}: {channel.frequency}")
    ...     print(f"  Power: {channel.power}, SNR: {channel.snr}")
    ...     print(f"  Errors: {channel.corrected_errors}/{channel.uncorrected_errors}")

    Handling parsing errors gracefully:

    >>> # Parser continues with partial data when some responses fail
    >>> incomplete_responses = {
    ...     "software_info": valid_software_json,
    ...     "channel_info": "invalid json",  # This will be skipped
    ... }
    >>> status = parser.parse_responses(incomplete_responses)
    >>> # Returns defaults for missing data, preserves valid data
    >>> assert status['model_name'] != "Unknown"  # From valid software_info
    >>> assert status['downstream_channels'] == []  # Default for invalid channel_info

Integration Patterns:
    Main client integration:

    >>> # Typical usage within ArrisModemStatusClient
    >>> class ArrisModemStatusClient:
    ...     def __init__(self):
    ...         self.parser = HNAPResponseParser()
    ...
    ...     def get_status(self):
    ...         # Collect responses from multiple HNAP endpoints
    ...         responses = self._collect_hnap_responses()
    ...         # Parse into structured status data
    ...         return self.parser.parse_responses(responses)

    Custom parsing workflows:

    >>> # For specialized applications needing custom data processing
    >>> parser = HNAPResponseParser()
    >>>
    >>> # Parse only channel data
    >>> hnap_response = {"GetCustomerStatusDownstreamChannelInfoResponse": {...}}
    >>> channels = parser._parse_channels(hnap_response)
    >>> downstream_channels = channels["downstream"]
    >>>
    >>> # Apply custom filtering or analysis
    >>> locked_channels = [ch for ch in downstream_channels if "Locked" in ch.lock_status]
    >>> error_channels = [ch for ch in downstream_channels if int(ch.uncorrected_errors or 0) > 0]

Data Format Reference:
    Channel string format (pipe-delimited):
    ```
    Downstream: "ID^Status^Modulation^Reserved^Frequency^Power^SNR^Corrected^Uncorrected"
    Upstream:   "ID^Status^Modulation^Reserved^Reserved^Frequency^Power"

    Example: "1^Locked^256QAM^^549000000^0.6^39.0^15^0"
    ```

    HNAP response structure:
    ```json
    {
        "GetMultipleHNAPsResponse": {
            "GetCustomerStatusSoftwareResponse": {
                "StatusSoftwareModelName": "S34",
                "StatusSoftwareSfVer": "AT01.01.010.042324_S3.04.735",
                "CustomerConnSystemUpTime": "7 days 14:23:56"
            },
            "GetCustomerStatusDownstreamChannelInfoResponse": {
                "CustomerConnDownstreamChannel": "1^Locked^256QAM^^549000000^0.6^39.0^15^0|+|2^Locked..."
            }
        }
    }
    ```

Performance Considerations:
    * Channel parsing is O(n) where n is the number of channels (typically 8-32)
    * JSON parsing is delegated to Python's optimized json module
    * Memory usage scales with the number of channels and response size
    * Regex compilation is avoided in favor of simple string operations
    * Error handling doesn't raise exceptions, ensuring consistent performance

Error Handling Philosophy:
    The parser follows a "graceful degradation" approach:

    * **Partial Success**: Valid data is preserved even when some parsing fails
    * **Default Values**: Missing or invalid fields get "Unknown" defaults
    * **Logging**: Parse failures are logged for debugging but don't stop processing
    * **Consistency**: Output structure is always consistent regardless of input quality

Debugging Guidelines:
    Common parsing issues and solutions:

    >>> # Enable debug logging to see parsing details
    >>> import logging
    >>> logging.getLogger("arris-modem-status").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    >>>
    >>> # Check for empty channel data
    >>> if not status['downstream_channels']:
    ...     print("No channel data - check channel_info response")
    >>>
    >>> # Verify field extraction
    >>> if status['model_name'] == "Unknown":
    ...     print("Model parsing failed - check software_info response format")

    Advanced debugging:

    >>> # Inspect raw channel strings before parsing
    >>> raw_channel_data = hnap_response.get("GetCustomerStatusDownstreamChannelInfoResponse", {})
    >>> raw_string = raw_channel_data.get("CustomerConnDownstreamChannel", "")
    >>> print(f"Raw channel data: {raw_string}")
    >>>
    >>> # Manually parse individual channel entries
    >>> entries = raw_string.split("|+|")
    >>> for i, entry in enumerate(entries):
    ...     fields = entry.split("^")
    ...     print(f"Channel {i}: {len(fields)} fields - {fields}")

Integration with Time Utils:
    The parser automatically integrates with time parsing utilities:

    >>> # Time fields are automatically enhanced
    >>> status = parser.parse_responses(responses)
    >>>
    >>> # Original string format preserved
    >>> print(status['system_uptime'])  # "7 days 14:23:56"
    >>>
    >>> # Enhanced with Python objects
    >>> print(status['system_uptime-seconds'])  # 656636.0
    >>> print(status['current_system_time-ISO8601'])  # "2025-07-30T23:31:23"

Production Deployment:
    Best practices for production use:

    >>> # Configure appropriate logging level
    >>> logging.getLogger("arris-modem-status").setLevel(logging.INFO)
    >>>
    >>> # Monitor parsing success rates
    >>> status = parser.parse_responses(responses)
    >>> if not status.get('channel_data_available', False):
    ...     metrics.increment('parsing.channel_data_missing')
    >>>
    >>> # Validate critical fields
    >>> required_fields = ['model_name', 'internet_status', 'downstream_channels']
    >>> for field in required_fields:
    ...     if status.get(field) in [None, "Unknown", []]:
    ...         metrics.increment(f'parsing.{field}_missing')

Monitoring Integration:
    Extract metrics for operational monitoring:

    >>> # Parse success metrics
    >>> def analyze_parsing_health(status):
    ...     metrics = {
    ...         'model_detected': status['model_name'] != "Unknown",
    ...         'firmware_detected': status['firmware_version'] != "Unknown",
    ...         'channels_found': len(status['downstream_channels']) + len(status['upstream_channels']),
    ...         'time_data_parsed': 'system_uptime-seconds' in status,
    ...         'parsing_complete': status.get('channel_data_available', False)
    ...     }
    ...     return metrics

    Quality assurance checks:

    >>> # Validate parsed data quality
    >>> def validate_channel_data(channels):
    ...     for channel in channels:
    ...         # Check required formatting
    ...         assert " Hz" in channel.frequency, f"Frequency not formatted: {channel.frequency}"
    ...         assert " dBmV" in channel.power, f"Power not formatted: {channel.power}"
    ...
    ...         # Validate numeric ranges (typical cable modem values)
    ...         freq_mhz = float(channel.frequency.split()[0]) / 1_000_000
    ...         assert 50 <= freq_mhz <= 1000, f"Frequency out of range: {freq_mhz} MHz"

class HNAPResponseParser:
    """
    Comprehensive parser for HNAP responses from Arris cable modems.

    This class handles the complex task of parsing JSON responses from multiple HNAP
    endpoints and converting them into structured, validated Python data. It provides
    robust error handling, data sanitization, and consistent output formatting.

    The parser is designed to handle variations in firmware responses, missing data,
    and malformed inputs while maintaining a consistent output structure. It supports
    all major HNAP response types including system information, connection status,
    and detailed channel diagnostics.

    Key Features:
        * **Multi-endpoint Processing**: Handles responses from 4+ HNAP endpoints simultaneously
        * **Channel Data Parsing**: Converts complex pipe-delimited channel strings into objects
        * **Data Validation**: Ensures consistent formatting and validates field contents
        * **Error Resilience**: Continues processing even when individual responses fail
        * **Performance Optimized**: Efficient parsing suitable for real-time monitoring

    Attributes:
        None (stateless parser - all data passed as parameters)

    Examples:
        Basic usage in client integration:

        >>> parser = HNAPResponseParser()
        >>> responses = client.collect_hnap_responses()
        >>> status = parser.parse_responses(responses)
        >>> print(f"Found {len(status['downstream_channels'])} downstream channels")

        Custom channel analysis:

        >>> # Parse specific HNAP response for channel analysis
        >>> hnap_data = {"GetCustomerStatusDownstreamChannelInfoResponse": {...}}
        >>> channels = parser._parse_channels(hnap_data)
        >>>
        >>> # Analyze channel health
        >>> for ch in channels["downstream"]:
        ...     if int(ch.uncorrected_errors or 0) > 1000:
        ...         print(f"Channel {ch.channel_id} has high error rate")

        Debugging parse failures:

        >>> # Enable detailed logging for troubleshooting
        >>> import logging
        >>> logging.getLogger("arris-modem-status").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
        >>>
        >>> # Parse with error monitoring
        >>> try:
        ...     status = parser.parse_responses(problematic_responses)
        ...     if status['model_name'] == "Unknown":
        ...         print("Software info parsing failed")
        ... except Exception as e:
        ...     print(f"Parser error: {e}")

    Thread Safety:
        This parser is stateless and thread-safe. Multiple threads can safely
        use the same parser instance or create separate instances as needed.

    Performance Notes:
        * JSON parsing: O(n) where n is response size
        * Channel parsing: O(c) where c is number of channels (typically 8-32)
        * Memory usage: ~1KB per parsed channel + response size
        * Typical processing time: 1-5ms for complete status parsing

        """
        Parse multiple HNAP responses into a comprehensive status dictionary.

        This is the main entry point for response parsing. It processes responses from
        multiple HNAP endpoints (software info, connection status, channel data) and
        combines them into a single, comprehensive status dictionary with consistent
        field naming and formatting.

        The parser handles missing responses gracefully, applying default values where
        data is unavailable. It also performs automatic data enhancement including
        time field parsing and unit formatting.

        Args:
            responses: Dictionary mapping response types to JSON strings.
                      Expected keys include:

                # ... additional enhanced fields
            }
            ```

        Examples:
            Standard parsing workflow:

            >>> responses = {
            ...     "software_info": '{"GetMultipleHNAPsResponse": {"GetCustomerStatusSoftwareResponse": {...}}}',
            ...     "channel_info": '{"GetMultipleHNAPsResponse": {"GetCustomerStatusDownstreamChannelInfoResponse": {...}}}'

            >>> print(f"Channels: {len(status['downstream_channels'])} down, {len(status['upstream_channels'])} up")

            Handling partial response data:

            >>> # Even with missing responses, get consistent output
            >>> partial_responses = {"software_info": valid_json}  # Missing other responses
            >>> status = parser.parse_responses(partial_responses)
            >>>
            >>> # Fields from software_info are populated
            >>> assert status['model_name'] != "Unknown"
            >>> # Missing fields get defaults
            >>> assert status['internet_status'] == "Unknown"
            >>> assert status['downstream_channels'] == []

            Monitoring parsing success:

            >>> status = parser.parse_responses(responses)
            >>>
            >>> # Check data availability
            >>> software_parsed = status['model_name'] != "Unknown"

            >>> logger.info(f"Parsing health: {parsing_score}/3 components successful")

        Error Handling:
            The parser is designed for resilience:

            >>> # Invalid JSON is handled gracefully
            >>> bad_responses = {
            ...     "software_info": "not valid json",
            ...     "channel_info": '{"incomplete": }'

            >>> status = parser.parse_responses(bad_responses)
            >>> # Returns structure with defaults, doesn't raise exceptions
            >>> assert isinstance(status, dict)
            >>> assert "model_name" in status

        Performance Optimization:
            For high-frequency parsing:

            >>> # Reuse parser instance (stateless)
            >>> parser = HNAPResponseParser()
            >>>
            >>> # Process multiple response sets efficiently
            >>> for response_batch in response_batches:
            ...     status = parser.parse_responses(response_batch)
            ...     process_status(status)  # Your processing logic

        Integration with Enhanced Time Fields:
            Automatic time parsing enhancement:

            >>> status = parser.parse_responses(responses_with_time)
            >>>
            >>> # Original time strings preserved
            >>> print(status['system_uptime'])  # "27 day(s) 10h:12m:37s"
            >>> print(status['current_system_time'])  # "07/30/2025 23:31:23"
            >>>
            >>> # Enhanced Python objects added
            >>> uptime_seconds = status['system_uptime-seconds']  # 2376757.0
            >>> iso_time = status['current_system_time-ISO8601']  # "2025-07-30T23:31:23"
            >>>
            >>> # Use for calculations
            >>> uptime_days = uptime_seconds / 86400
            >>> print(f"Uptime: {uptime_days:.1f} days")

        Note:
            This method automatically calls enhance_status_with_time_fields() to add
            parsed time objects alongside the original string values.

        handles both downstream and upstream channels, applying appropriate parsing logic
        for each channel type.

        Channel data provides critical diagnostic information including signal levels,
        error counts, modulation types, and lock status. The parsed data is essential
        for monitoring cable connection quality and diagnosing connectivity issues.

        Channel Data Format:
            Understanding the pipe-delimited format:

            Downstream channels (9 fields):
            ```
            "ID^Status^Modulation^Reserved^Frequency^Power^SNR^Corrected^Uncorrected"
            Example: "1^Locked^256QAM^^549000000^0.6^39.0^15^0"
            ```

            Upstream channels (7 fields):
            ```
            "ID^Status^Modulation^Reserved^Reserved^Frequency^Power"
            Example: "1^Locked^SC-QAM^^^30600000^46.5"
            ```

        Error Handling:
            The method is designed for resilience:

            >>> # Malformed channel data doesn't crash parsing
            >>> bad_hnaps = {"GetCustomerStatusDownstreamChannelInfoResponse": None}
            >>> channels = parser._parse_channels(bad_hnaps)
            >>> # Returns empty lists instead of raising exceptions
            >>> assert channels == {"downstream": [], "upstream": []}

        Performance Notes:
            * Channel parsing is O(n) where n is the number of channels
            * Typical modems have 8-32 downstream and 2-8 upstream channels
            * Processing time: ~0.1ms per channel
            * Memory usage: ~200 bytes per ChannelInfo object

        Integration with Monitoring:
            Extract metrics for operational monitoring:

            >>> channels = parser._parse_channels(hnaps_data)

        Parse pipe-delimited channel data string into ChannelInfo objects.

        This method handles the complex task of parsing the modem's pipe-delimited channel
        data format into structured ChannelInfo objects with proper field mapping, data
        validation, and unit formatting. It supports both downstream and upstream channel
        formats, which have different field structures.

        The parser is designed to be resilient against malformed data, partial channel
        entries, and firmware variations while maintaining consistent output formatting.

        Args:
            raw_data: Pipe-delimited channel data string from HNAP response.

                     Upstream:   "ID^Status^Modulation^Reserved^Reserved^Frequency^Power"

                     Multiple channels separated by "|+|"

            channel_type: Type of channel data being parsed.
                         Must be either "downstream" or "upstream".
                         Determines field mapping and validation rules.

        Returns:
            List of ChannelInfo objects with properly formatted and validated data.
            Empty list if parsing fails or no valid channel data found.

        Examples:

            ...         print(f"🚨 Channel {ch.channel_id}: {ch.uncorrected_errors} uncorrected errors")

        Field Mapping Details:
            Downstream channel field positions:
            ```
            0: Channel ID          -> channel_id
            1: Lock Status         -> lock_status
            2: Modulation Type     -> modulation
            3: Reserved (unused)   -> (ignored)
            4: Frequency (Hz)      -> frequency (formatted with " Hz")
            5: Power (dBmV)        -> power (formatted with " dBmV")
            6: SNR (dB)            -> snr (formatted with " dB")
            7: Corrected Errors    -> corrected_errors
            8: Uncorrected Errors  -> uncorrected_errors
            ```

            Upstream channel field positions:
            ```
            0: Channel ID          -> channel_id
            1: Lock Status         -> lock_status
            2: Modulation Type     -> modulation
            3: Reserved (unused)   -> (ignored)
            4: Reserved (unused)   -> (ignored)
            5: Frequency (Hz)      -> frequency (formatted with " Hz")
            6: Power (dBmV)        -> power (formatted with " dBmV")
            ```

        Data Validation and Formatting:
            Automatic unit formatting and validation:

            >>> # Raw input: "549000000"
            >>> # Formatted output: "549000000 Hz"
            >>> ch = channels[0]
            >>> assert ch.frequency.endswith(" Hz")
            >>>
            >>> # Power and SNR get proper units
            >>> assert ch.power.endswith(" dBmV")
            >>> assert ch.snr.endswith(" dB") or ch.snr == "N/A"

        Error Resilience:
            The parser handles various error conditions:

            >>> # Empty channel data
            >>> channels = parser._parse_channel_string("", "downstream")
            >>> assert channels == []
            >>>
            >>> # Invalid channel type
            >>> channels = parser._parse_channel_string("1^Locked^256QAM", "invalid_type")
            >>> assert channels == []
            >>>
            >>> # Partially malformed data (some valid, some invalid entries)
            >>> mixed_data = "1^Locked^256QAM^^549000000^0.6^39.0^15^0|+|invalid_entry|+|2^Locked^256QAM^^555000000^1.2^38.5^20^1"
            >>> channels = parser._parse_channel_string(mixed_data, "downstream")
            >>> assert len(channels) == 2  # Only valid entries parsed

        Performance Characteristics:
            * Time complexity: O(n) where n is the number of channels
            * Memory usage: ~200 bytes per ChannelInfo object
            * Typical processing time: 50-100μs per channel
            * No regex compilation overhead (uses simple string operations)

        Integration with Monitoring Systems:
            Extract channel metrics for monitoring:

            >>> channels = parser._parse_channel_string(channel_data, "downstream")
            >>>
            >>> # Generate monitoring metrics
            >>> metrics = {
            ...     'total_channels': len(channels),
            ...     'locked_channels': sum(1 for ch in channels if "Locked" in ch.lock_status),
            ...     'avg_power': sum(float(ch.power.split()[0]) for ch in channels) / len(channels),
            ...     'error_channels': sum(1 for ch in channels if int(ch.uncorrected_errors or 0) > 0)
            ... }
            >>>
            >>> # Alert thresholds
            >>> if metrics['locked_channels'] < metrics['total_channels']:
            ...     alert(f"{metrics['total_channels'] - metrics['locked_channels']} channels not locked")

        Debugging Channel Parsing:
            When channel parsing fails:

            >>> # Enable debug logging
            >>> import logging
            >>> logging.getLogger("arris-modem-status").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
            >>>
            >>> # Manually inspect channel entries
            >>> entries = raw_data.split("|+|")
            >>> for i, entry in enumerate(entries):
            ...     fields = entry.split("^")
            ...     print(f"Entry {i}: {len(fields)} fields")
            ...     if len(fields) < 6:  # Minimum required fields
            ...         print(f"  Invalid: {entry}")
            ...     else:
            ...         print(f"  Valid: ID={fields[0]}, Status={fields[1]}")

        Note:
            The ChannelInfo objects created by this method automatically apply
            unit formatting in their __post_init__ method, ensuring consistent
            formatting regardless of input format variations.
