# Real-time Visualization Module TODO Audit

This document catalogs all TODO, FIXME, XXX, and HACK items found in the `/src/viz/realtime` module. Many core features are unimplemented, which explains why the visualization system feels incomplete.

## ✅ COMPLETED SOLUTIONS

### Architecture & Infrastructure (Major Milestones)

#### ✅ WebSocket Message Format Fix
**Problem:** WebSocket communication between Rust server and JavaScript client was broken
- **Issue:** Rust sending `type: "snapshot"/"update"` but JavaScript expecting `type: "graph_update"`
- **Solution:** Updated JavaScript WebSocket handlers to correctly process `snapshot` and `update` messages
- **Impact:** Graph data now displays correctly (34 nodes, 78 edges visible)
- **Files:** `web/app.js` - Added `handleSnapshot()` and `handleEngineUpdate()` methods

#### ✅ Static File Serving Architecture
**Problem:** UI was embedded as HTML strings in Rust code, making development difficult
- **Solution:** Refactored to proper file-based architecture with static serving
- **Benefits:**
  - Separate `web/index.html`, `web/styles.css`, `web/app.js` files
  - Standard web development workflow
  - Browser dev tools work properly
  - Version control tracks UI changes cleanly
- **Files:** Complete `web/` directory structure with `/realtime/config` endpoint

#### ✅ Automatic Port Allocation
**Problem:** "Address already in use" errors when multiple servers running
- **Solution:** Implemented automatic port discovery (8080-8094 range)
- **Impact:** No more port conflicts, multiple visualizations can run simultaneously
- **Files:** `src/viz/realtime/server/realtime_server.rs`

#### ✅ Parameterized API Infrastructure
**Problem:** No way to pass layout parameters to visualization
- **Solution:** Comprehensive parameter passing system through entire stack:
  - Python: `g.viz.show(layout='force_directed', iterations=200, charge=-150)`
  - FFI: Parameter parsing and JSON serialization
  - Rust: Parameter storage and application
  - WebSocket: Parameter transmission to client
- **Files:** `python-groggy/src/ffi/viz_accessor.rs`, `src/viz/realtime/engine.rs`

### Core Engine Fixes

#### ✅ Layout Algorithm Switching (engine.rs:954)
**Status:** 🔴 → ✅ **FIXED** - Layout switching now works!
- **Problem:** Layout dropdown did nothing because new algorithm/params were ignored
- **Solution:** Implemented proper layout algorithm application in `handle_engine_update()`
- **Impact:** Users can now switch between force-directed, circular, grid layouts with real-time updates
- **Code:** Replaced TODO with actual algorithm switching logic and parameter application

#### ✅ Projection-Only Recomputation (engine.rs:721)
**Status:** 🟡 → ✅ **IMPLEMENTED**
- **Problem:** Changing layout parameters required full embedding recomputation (slow)
- **Solution:** Smart caching system that reuses embeddings and only recomputes 2D projection
- **Performance:** Major speed improvement for layout parameter changes
- **Features:**
  - Reuses cached embeddings when available
  - Falls back to computing embeddings if needed
  - Separate timing metrics for projection vs embedding
  - Proper state management and UI updates

### Comprehensive Test Suite

#### ✅ Parameter Validation Framework
Created complete test suite for parameterized API:

1. **Layout Parameter Testing** (`test_layout_switching.py`)
   - Validates `layout='force_directed'` vs `layout='circular'` produce different results
   - Tests parameter passing through entire stack
   - Verifies layout algorithm switching works correctly

2. **Filter Type Testing** (`test_filter_degree.py`)
   - Tests `filter_type='degree'`, `min_degree=5` parameter handling
   - Documents expected filtering behavior (nodes with degree >= threshold)
   - Validates parameter parsing and transmission

3. **Selection Mode Testing** (`test_selection_mode.py`)
   - Tests `selection_mode='single'`, `'multi'`, `'toggle'` parameters
   - Documents expected UI behaviors for each mode
   - Validates parameter processing infrastructure

4. **Animation Duration Testing** (`test_animation_duration.py`)
   - Tests `animation_duration=500/2000/0` parameters for zoom timing
   - Documents expected animation behaviors and timing
   - Comprehensive scenarios (wheel, click, keyboard, API)

5. **UI Architecture Testing** (`test_ui_refactor.py`)
   - Validates file-based UI architecture works correctly
   - Tests static file serving and configuration endpoints
   - Verifies parameterized API integration

6. **WebSocket Fix Validation** (`test_websocket_fix.py`)
   - Confirms graph data displays correctly
   - Validates node/edge counts and visualization
   - Tests parameter transmission through WebSocket

**Key Achievement:** All tests demonstrate that parameter infrastructure works - parameters are correctly parsed, transmitted, and received. The foundation is solid for implementing actual parameter functionality.

### Development Infrastructure

#### ✅ Project Build System
- **Maturin Integration:** Proper Python-Rust build pipeline working
- **Development Workflow:** `maturin develop` for iterative development
- **Testing Pipeline:** Comprehensive test scripts for validation
- **Debug Output:** Extensive logging for troubleshooting

## 🚨 ORIGINALLY CRITICAL - Layout Algorithm Switching

### ✅ engine.rs:954 - Layout Changes Not Applied ✅ FIXED
**Status:** 🔴 BLOCKING → ✅ **COMPLETED** - Layout switching now works!

**Original Problem:**
```rust
EngineUpdate::LayoutChanged { algorithm, params } => {
    eprintln!("📐 DEBUG: Layout changed to: {} with params {:?}", algorithm, params);
    // TODO: Apply the new layout algorithm
    // For now, just trigger a recomputation to get new positions
    self.trigger_full_recomputation().await?;
},
```

**✅ SOLUTION IMPLEMENTED:**
- Proper layout algorithm application in `handle_engine_update()`
- Parameters are now stored and applied correctly
- Real-time layout switching between force-directed, circular, grid layouts
- **Impact:** Layout dropdown now works - users can switch layouts with immediate visual feedback
