# Documentation: Update monitor documentation with Socket.IO stability improvements

## Description
Update the monitor documentation to comprehensively document all Socket.IO server stability improvements that were implemented.

## Key Areas to Document:

### 1. Server Stability Enhancements
- Fixed disconnect handler signature to accept variable arguments (*args)
- Fixed timeout_handler decorator to work with Socket.IO event handlers  
- Added comprehensive error handling with try-catch blocks for all event handlers
- Implemented graceful error recovery and logging

### 2. Connection Management Improvements
- Increased ping timeout to 60 seconds for better stability
- Set ping interval to 25 seconds
- Enabled WebSocket long-polling fallback
- Added connection state tracking

### 3. Process Management Features
- Implemented supervisor configuration for automatic restarts
- Added health check endpoint at /health
- Created monitoring script with auto-restart capability
- PID tracking in .claude-mpm/socketio-server.pid
- Log file at .claude-mpm/socketio-server.log

### 4. Default Port Configuration Change
- Changed default Socket.IO port from 8080 to 8765
- Port range updated to 8765-8785
- Unified with dashboard port for consistency

### 5. File Viewer Bug Fixes
- Fixed bash command parsing to correctly extract file paths from commands with flags
- Fixed [object Object] display issue by properly formatting operation details
- Enhanced search operation viewer with dedicated modal

### 6. Management Commands
Document the complete command set:
- claude-mpm monitor start (starts daemon)
- claude-mpm monitor status (check status)
- claude-mpm monitor stop (stop server)
- claude-mpm monitor restart (restart server)

## Documentation Requirements:

1. **Update existing monitor documentation** (likely in docs/user/ or docs/) with:
   - All stability improvements listed above
   - Troubleshooting guide for common issues
   - New default port configuration details
   - Best practices for maintaining server stability
   - Recovery procedures if the server crashes

2. **Ensure documentation is**:
   - Clear and user-friendly for users experiencing stability issues
   - Comprehensive coverage of all improvements
   - Includes practical troubleshooting steps
   - Provides actionable recovery procedures

3. **Target files to update**:
   - Find existing monitor documentation files
   - Update with stability improvements
   - Ensure consistency across all documentation

The documentation should help users understand how to maintain a stable Socket.IO server and recover from any issues that may arise.
