# Story 4.29: Plugin Consistency and Completeness

**Status:** Complete  
**Priority:** High  
**Depends on:** 4.21 (Health Check Protocol), 4.23 (Metadata Completeness)  
**Effort:** 1-2 days

---

## Problem Statement

The plugin audit revealed three categories of inconsistencies in the built-in plugin implementations:

### 1. Missing Health Checks for Non-Sink Plugins

While Story 4.21 added `health_check()` to all base protocols with default `return True`, only sink plugins implement meaningful health checks:

| Plugin Type | Plugins with Meaningful `health_check()`                                                   |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Sinks       | `StdoutJsonSink`, `RotatingFileSink`, `HttpSink`, `WebhookSink`, `MemoryMappedPersistence` |
| Enrichers   | ❌ None - all rely on default `return True`                                                |
| Redactors   | ❌ None - all rely on default `return True`                                                |
| Processors  | ❌ None - all rely on default `return True`                                                |

**Impact:** Applications cannot meaningfully verify that enrichers, redactors, and processors are ready before processing logs.

### 2. Inconsistent `min_fapilog_version` Values

The `PLUGIN_METADATA["compatibility"]["min_fapilog_version"]` is inconsistent across built-in plugins:

| Version | Plugins                                                                                  |
| ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `0.3.0` | `stdout_json`, `rotating_file`, `http_client`, `webhook`, `url_credentials`, `zero_copy` |
| `3.0.0` | `field_mask`, `regex_mask`, `runtime_info`, `context_vars`                               |

**Impact:** Confusing version requirements; `3.0.0` is not even a released version yet. This could cause false compatibility check failures.

### 3. Missing `PLUGIN_METADATA` for `MemoryMappedPersistence`

The `MemoryMappedPersistence` sink has no `PLUGIN_METADATA` export, making it invisible to:

- Plugin discovery mechanisms
- Plugin catalog generation (`docs/plugin-guide.md`)
- Configuration validation

---

## Goals

1. **Add meaningful `health_check()` implementations** to all built-in enrichers, redactors, and processors
2. **Standardize `min_fapilog_version` to `0.3.0`** across all built-in plugins
3. **Add complete `PLUGIN_METADATA` to `MemoryMappedPersistence`**
4. **Add automated consistency test** to catch future drift

---

## Design

### Health Check Strategy by Plugin Type

For plugins that don't have external dependencies, a "meaningful" health check verifies internal state integrity:

| Plugin Type    | Health Check Strategy                                                     |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Enrichers**  | Verify internal state is initialized; check any cached data is valid      |
| **Redactors**  | Verify regex patterns compiled successfully; check configuration is valid |
| **Processors** | Verify internal lock is not corrupted; check any resources are ready      |

**Principle:** Health checks should answer: "If I call the main method right now, will it work?"

---

## Implementation Plan

### Phase 1: Add Health Checks to Enrichers

**File: `src/fapilog/plugins/enrichers/runtime_info.py`**

```python
class RuntimeInfoEnricher:
    name = "runtime_info"

    async def start(self) -> None:
        return None

    async def stop(self) -> None:
        return None

    async def enrich(self, event: dict[str, Any]) -> dict[str, Any]:
        # ... existing code ...

    async def health_check(self) -> bool:
        """Verify runtime info can be collected.

        Checks that essential system calls succeed.
        """
        try:
            import socket
            # Verify we can get hostname (most likely to fail in containers)
            _ = socket.gethostname()
            return True
        except Exception:
            return False
```

**File: `src/fapilog/plugins/enrichers/context_vars.py`**

```python
class ContextVarsEnricher:
    name = "context_vars"

    async def start(self) -> None:
        return None

    async def stop(self) -> None:
        return None

    async def enrich(self, event: dict[str, Any]) -> dict[str, Any]:
        # ... existing code ...

    async def health_check(self) -> bool:
        """Verify context variables are accessible.

        ContextVars are always available in Python 3.7+, so this
        primarily validates the module imports are working.
        """
        try:
            from ...core.errors import request_id_var, user_id_var
            # Verify we can access (not get) the context vars
            _ = request_id_var.get(None)
            _ = user_id_var.get(None)
            return True
        except Exception:
            return False
```

### Phase 2: Add Health Checks to Redactors

**File: `src/fapilog/plugins/redactors/field_mask.py`**

```python
class FieldMaskRedactor:
    name = "field_mask"

    def __init__(self, *, config: FieldMaskConfig | None = None) -> None:
        cfg = config or FieldMaskConfig(fields_to_mask=[])

        self._block = bool(cfg.block_on_unredactable)
        self._max_depth = int(cfg.max_depth)
        self._max_scanned = int(cfg.max_keys_scanned)
        self._config_valid = True  # Track configuration validity

    async def start(self) -> None:
        return None

    async def stop(self) -> None:
        return None

    async def redact(self, event: dict) -> dict:
        # ... existing code ...

    async def health_check(self) -> bool:
        """Verify redactor configuration is valid.

        Checks that field paths are parsed and guardrails are positive.
        """
        try:
            # Verify configuration is valid
            if self._max_depth <= 0 or self._max_scanned <= 0:

            # Verify mask string is usable
            if not isinstance(self._mask, str):
                return False
            return True
        except Exception:
            return False
```

**File: `src/fapilog/plugins/redactors/regex_mask.py`**

```python
class RegexMaskRedactor:
    name = "regex_mask"

    def __init__(self, *, config: RegexMaskConfig | None = None) -> None:
        cfg = config or RegexMaskConfig(patterns=[])
        self._patterns: list[re.Pattern[str]] = []
        self._pattern_errors: list[str] = []

        # Pre-compile patterns; track any failures
        for p in cfg.patterns:
            try:
                self._patterns.append(re.compile(p))
            except re.error as e:
                self._pattern_errors.append(f"{p}: {e}")

        self._mask = str(cfg.mask_string)
        self._block = bool(cfg.block_on_unredactable)
        self._max_depth = int(cfg.max_depth)
        self._max_scanned = int(cfg.max_keys_scanned)

    async def start(self) -> None:
        return None

    async def stop(self) -> None:
        return None

    async def redact(self, event: dict) -> dict:
        # ... existing code ...

    async def health_check(self) -> bool:
        """Verify all regex patterns compiled successfully.

        Returns False if any pattern failed to compile.
        """
        try:
            # Check no pattern compilation errors
            if self._pattern_errors:
                return False
            # Verify guardrails are positive
            if self._max_depth <= 0 or self._max_scanned <= 0:
                return False
            return True
        except Exception:
            return False
```

**File: `src/fapilog/plugins/redactors/url_credentials.py`**

```python
class UrlCredentialsRedactor:
    name = "url_credentials"

    def __init__(self, *, config: UrlCredentialsConfig | None = None) -> None:
        cfg = config or UrlCredentialsConfig()
        self._max_len = int(cfg.max_string_length)

    async def start(self) -> None:
        return None

    async def stop(self) -> None:
        return None

    async def redact(self, event: dict) -> dict:
        # ... existing code ...

    async def health_check(self) -> bool:

            parts = urlsplit("https://user:pass@example.com/path")
            _ = urlunsplit((parts.scheme, parts.hostname or "", "", "", ""))
            return True
        except Exception:
            return False
```

### Phase 3: Add Health Checks to Processors

**File: `src/fapilog/plugins/processors/zero_copy.py`**

```python
class ZeroCopyProcessor:
    name = "zero_copy"

    def __init__(self) -> None:
        self._lock = asyncio.Lock()

    async def start(self) -> None:
        pass

    async def stop(self) -> None:
        pass

    async def process(self, view: memoryview) -> memoryview:
        # ... existing code ...

    async def process_many(self, views: Iterable[memoryview]) -> int:
        # ... existing code ...

    async def health_check(self) -> bool:
        """Verify processor is ready to accept views.

        Checks that the internal lock is functional.
        """
        try:
            # Verify lock is not stuck by attempting a non-blocking acquire
            if self._lock.locked():
                # Lock is held; could indicate stuck processing
                # But this is expected during active processing, so still healthy
                pass
            return True
        except Exception:
            return False
```

### Phase 4: Standardize `min_fapilog_version` to `0.3.0`

Update the following files to use `"min_fapilog_version": "0.3.0"`:

**Files to update:**

- `src/fapilog/plugins/enrichers/runtime_info.py` (change from `3.0.0` to `0.3.0`)
- `src/fapilog/plugins/enrichers/context_vars.py` (change from `3.0.0` to `0.3.0`)
- `src/fapilog/plugins/redactors/field_mask.py` (change from `3.0.0` to `0.3.0`)
- `src/fapilog/plugins/redactors/regex_mask.py` (change from `3.0.0` to `0.3.0`)

**Example update:**

```python
# Before
"compatibility": {"min_fapilog_version": "3.0.0"},

# After
"compatibility": {"min_fapilog_version": "0.3.0"},
```

### Phase 5: Add `PLUGIN_METADATA` to `MemoryMappedPersistence`

**File: `src/fapilog/plugins/sinks/mmap_persistence.py`**

Add at end of file:

```python
# Plugin metadata for discovery
PLUGIN_METADATA = {
    "name": "mmap-persistence",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "plugin_type": "sink",
    "entry_point": "fapilog.plugins.sinks.mmap_persistence:MemoryMappedPersistence",
    "description": "Memory-mapped file sink for zero-copy friendly persistence.",
    "author": "Fapilog Core",
    "compatibility": {"min_fapilog_version": "0.3.0"},
    "api_version": "1.0",
    "config_schema": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "path": {"type": "string", "description": "File path for mmap persistence"},
            "initial_size_bytes": {"type": "integer", "description": "Initial file size"},
            "growth_chunk_bytes": {"type": "integer", "description": "Growth increment"},
            "max_size_bytes": {"type": "integer", "description": "Maximum file size"},
            "flush_on_close": {"type": "boolean"},
            "periodic_flush_bytes": {"type": "integer"},
        },
        "required": ["path"],
    },
    "tags": ["experimental", "zero-copy", "performance"],
}
```

Also register the built-in in `src/fapilog/plugins/sinks/__init__.py`:

```python
from .mmap_persistence import MemoryMappedPersistence

# ... existing registrations ...

register_builtin(
    "fapilog.sinks",
    "mmap_persistence",
    MemoryMappedPersistence,
    aliases=["mmap-persistence"],
)
```

### Phase 6: Add Automated Consistency Test

**File: `tests/unit/test_plugin_consistency.py`**

```python
"""Verify all built-in plugins have consistent configuration."""

from __future__ import annotations

import importlib

import pytest

# All built-in plugin modules
BUILTIN_PLUGIN_MODULES = [
    # Sinks
    "fapilog.plugins.sinks.stdout_json",

    "fapilog.plugins.processors.zero_copy",
]

# Expected min_fapilog_version for all built-ins
EXPECTED_MIN_VERSION = "0.3.0"


@pytest.mark.parametrize("module_path", BUILTIN_PLUGIN_MODULES)

    module = importlib.import_module(module_path)
    metadata = getattr(module, "PLUGIN_METADATA", {})

    compat = metadata.get("compatibility", {})
    min_version = compat.get("min_fapilog_version")

    assert min_version == EXPECTED_MIN_VERSION, (
        f"{module_path} has min_fapilog_version={min_version!r}, "
        f"expected {EXPECTED_MIN_VERSION!r}"
    )


@pytest.mark.parametrize("module_path", BUILTIN_PLUGIN_MODULES)
def test_plugin_class_has_health_check(module_path: str) -> None:
    """All built-in plugin classes should have health_check method."""
    module = importlib.import_module(module_path)
    metadata = getattr(module, "PLUGIN_METADATA", {})

    # Get the plugin class from entry_point
    entry_point = metadata.get("entry_point", "")
    if ":" in entry_point:
        class_name = entry_point.split(":")[-1]
        plugin_class = getattr(module, class_name, None)
        if plugin_class is not None:
            assert hasattr(plugin_class, "health_check"), (
                f"{module_path}:{class_name} missing health_check method"
            )


@pytest.mark.parametrize("module_path", BUILTIN_PLUGIN_MODULES)
def test_plugin_class_has_name_attribute(module_path: str) -> None:
    """All built-in plugin classes should have name attribute."""
    module = importlib.import_module(module_path)
    metadata = getattr(module, "PLUGIN_METADATA", {})

    entry_point = metadata.get("entry_point", "")
    if ":" in entry_point:
        class_name = entry_point.split(":")[-1]
        plugin_class = getattr(module, class_name, None)
        if plugin_class is not None:
            # Check class-level name attribute
            assert hasattr(plugin_class, "name"), (
                f"{module_path}:{class_name} missing 'name' attribute"
            )
```

| Breaking existing tests           | Medium | Run full test suite before merge    |
| Regex pattern tracking adds state | Low    | Pattern errors only tracked at init |
| mmap registration conflicts       | Low    | Use consistent naming conventions   |
