# Configuration Optimization

**Date**: 2026-01-23
**Purpose**: Optimize Mahavishnu configuration and dependencies

______________________________________________________________________

## 🎯 Current Configuration Analysis

### Strengths

- ✅ Excellent use of Pydantic for type-safe configuration
- ✅ Layered configuration loading (Oneiric pattern)
- ✅ Comprehensive field validation
- ✅ Security-conscious (auth secret validation)
- ✅ Well-organized pyproject.toml with dependency groups

### Optimization Opportunities

1. **Config.py Issues**:

   - ⚠️ Missing Prefect adapter field (plan replaces Airflow with Prefect)
   - ⚠️ Deprecated CrewAI still in config (should be removed)
   - ⚠️ No async file loading support
   - ⚠️ No repository validation fields
   - ⚠️ Tight coupling to mcp-common (inheritance)

1. **Dependency Issues**:

   - ⚠️ Inconsistent version pinning (some `>=`, some `~=`)
   - ⚠️ Duplicate dependencies (crackerjack appears twice)
   - ⚠️ Missing aiofiles for async I/O
   - ⚠️ Missing repository validation dependencies
   - ⚠️ No Prefect adapter dependency group

1. **Validation Issues**:

   - ⚠️ No repos.yaml validation at startup
   - ⚠️ No repository existence validation
   - ⚠️ Weak auth secret validation (no entropy/length check from audit)

## ⚡ Optimized Configuration

### 1. Updated Config.py

**Create optimized** `mahavishnu/core/config.py`:

```python
"""Core configuration module for Mahavishnu using Oneiric patterns.

This module provides type-safe configuration management using Pydantic models,
following Oneiric's configuration loading patterns with layered configuration
support (defaults -> committed YAML -> local YAML -> environment variables).

Optimized 2026-01-23:
- Added Prefect adapter support
- Removed CrewAI (deprecated)
- Added async I/O support
- Added repository validation
- Strengthened auth secret validation
- Added repository metadata fields

## 🔒 Enhanced Security Validation

### 1. Auth Secret Strength Validation

**Current**: Only checks presence
**Optimized**: Checks length, entropy, and common patterns

```python
@field_validator("auth_secret")
@classmethod
def validate_auth_secret(cls, v: str | None, info) -> str | None:
    """Validate auth secret strength."""
    if info.data.get("auth_enabled"):
        if not v:
            raise ValueError("auth_secret required when auth_enabled")
        if v is not None:
            # Length requirement (32+ chars)
            if len(v) < 32:
                raise ValueError("auth_secret must be at least 32 characters")
            # Entropy check (16+ unique chars)
            if len(set(v)) < 16:
                raise ValueError("auth_secret has insufficient entropy")
            # Common pattern check
            if v.lower() in ["password", "secret", "key", "token"]:
                raise ValueError("auth_secret cannot be a common word")
    return v
```

### 2. Repository Path Validation

**Current**: Only expands path
**Optimized**: Validates file exists

```python
@field_validator("repos_path")
@classmethod
def validate_repos_path(cls, v: str) -> str:
    """Expand and validate repos_path."""
    expanded = str(Path(v).expanduser())
    if not Path(expanded).exists():
        raise ValueError(f"repos.yaml not found at: {expanded}")
    return expanded
```

### 3. Adapter Configuration Validation

**Current**: Allows any combination
**Optimized**: Validates at least one adapter is enabled

```python
@model_validator(mode="after")
def validate_adapter_config(self) -> "MahavishnuSettings":
    """Validate adapter configuration is consistent."""
    enabled_count = sum([
        self.prefect_enabled,
        self.langgraph_enabled,
        self.agno_enabled,
    ])

    if enabled_count == 0:
        raise ValueError(
            "At least one adapter must be enabled "
            "(prefect, langgraph, or agno)"
        )

    # Warn if legacy adapters enabled
    if self.airflow_enabled:
        print("⚠️  Warning: Airflow is deprecated. Consider migrating to Prefect.")
    if self.crewai_enabled:
        print("⚠️  Warning: CrewAI is deprecated (2025-01-23). Use LangGraph instead.")

    return self
```

______________________________________________________________________

## 📊 Performance Optimizations

### 1. Async Configuration Loading

**Add to config.py**:

```python
import asyncio
import aiofiles
from typing import AsyncIterator

class MahavishnuSettings(MCPServerSettings):
    """Mahavishnu configuration with async loading."""

    @classmethod
    async def load_async(cls, config_path: Path) -> "MahavishnuSettings":
        """Load configuration asynchronously."""
        async with aiofiles.open(config_path, "r") as f:
            content = await f.read()

        # Parse YAML
        import yaml
        config_data = yaml.safe_load(content)

        # Validate
        return cls.model_validate(config_data)

    @classmethod
    def load_multiple_async(cls, config_paths: list[Path]) -> AsyncIterator["MahavishnuSettings"]:
        """Load multiple configurations concurrently."""
        async def load_one(path: Path) -> "MahavishnuSettings":
            return await cls.load_async(path)

        # Load all concurrently
        results = await asyncio.gather(*[load_one(p) for p in config_paths])
        for result in results:
            yield result
```

### 2. Configuration Cache Invalidation

**Add to app.py**:

```python
from functools import lru_cache
from watchdog.observers import Observer
from watchdog.events import FileSystemEventHandler

class ConfigReloadHandler(FileSystemEventHandler):
    """Reload configuration when files change."""

    def __init__(self, app):
        self.app = app

    def on_modified(self, event):
        """Handle file modification events."""
        if event.src_path.name in ["mahavishnu.yaml", "local.yaml"]:
            print(f"🔄 Configuration changed, reloading...")
            self.app._load_config()

class MahavishnuApp:
    def __init__(self, config: MahavishnuSettings | None = None):
        self.config = config or MahavishnuSettings()
        self._setup_config_watcher()

    def _setup_config_watcher(self):
        """Set up configuration file watcher."""
        if self.config.reload_on_change:
            observer = Observer()
            observer.schedule(
                ConfigReloadHandler(self),
                path=str(self.config.config_dir),
                recursive=False
            )
            observer.start()

    @lru_cache(maxsize=1)
    def _load_config(self) -> MahavishnuSettings:
        """Load configuration (cached)."""
        return MahavishnuSettings()

    def invalidate_cache(self) -> None:
        """Invalidate configuration cache."""
        self._load_config.cache_clear()
```

## ✅ Configuration Validation Checklist

### Startup Validation

Phase 0 should validate:

- [ ] repos.yaml exists and is readable
- [ ] repos.yaml matches schema (Pydantic validation)
- [ ] All repository paths exist
- [ ] All repository tags are valid format
- [ ] No duplicate repository names/packages/paths
- [ ] MCP type values are valid (null, "native", "integration")
- [ ] At least one adapter is enabled
- [ ] QC min_score is reasonable (70-100)
- [ ] Auth secret meets strength requirements (32+ chars, 16+ entropy)
- [ ] All environment variables are set (if required)

### Runtime Validation

- [ ] Configuration reload doesn't crash
- [ ] Invalid configuration is rejected with clear error
- [ ] Configuration changes trigger validation
- [ ] Security validations pass before service start

```diff
+ "aiofiles~=24.1.0",  # Async I/O for fast config loading
+ "pydantic-extra~=2.12.0",  # Extra validators for config
```

### Pin Inconsistent Versions

```diff
- "fastmcp>=0.1.0",          # Inconsistent (>=)
+ "fastmcp~=0.1.0",          # Consistent pinning (~=)

- "uvicorn~=0.38.0",         # Missing [standard]
+ "uvicorn[standard]~=0.38.0",  # Include websockets
```

### Add Adapter Groups

```diff
+ prefect = [
+     "prefect~=3.4.0",
+     "aiofiles~=24.1.0",
+ ]
```

## 🎯 Configuration Best Practices

### 1. Environment Variable Management

**Create** `settings/mahavishnu.yaml.example`:

```yaml
# Mahavishnu Configuration Example

# Adapter Configuration
adapters:
  prefect: true
  langgraph: true
  agno: false

# Repository Management
repos_path: ~/repos.yaml
repos_validation_enabled: true
repos_validate_existence: true

# Quality Control
qc:
  enabled: true
  min_score: 80
  checks:
    - linting
    - type_checking
    - security_scan

# Session Management
session:
  enabled: true
  checkpoint_interval: 60

# Resilience
retry:
  max_attempts: 3
  base_delay: 1.0
  jitter: 0.1
circuit_breaker:
  threshold: 5
  timeout: 60

# Observability
metrics:
  enabled: true
tracing:
  enabled: true
otlp_endpoint: http://localhost:4317

# Authentication
auth:
  enabled: false  # Set to true in production
  algorithm: HS256
  expire_minutes: 60
  cache_ttl: 300

# Development
debug: false
reload_on_change: false
```

### 2. Secret Generation

**Helper script**: `scripts/generate_auth_secret.py`

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Generate secure auth secret for Mahavishnu."""
import secrets
import string

def generate_auth_secret(length: int = 48) -> str:
    """Generate cryptographically secure random secret."""
    alphabet = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + "!@#$%^&*"
    return "".join(secrets.choice(alphabet) for _ in range(length))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    secret = generate_auth_secret(48)

    print("Generated Mahavishnu Auth Secret:")
    print("=" * 50)
    print()
    print(f"MAHAVISHNU_AUTH_SECRET={secret}")
    print()
    print("Add to your shell profile (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc):")
    print(f"export MAHAVISHNU_AUTH_SECRET=\"{secret}\"")
    print()
    print("Then restart your shell or run:")
    print("source ~/.zshrc  # or source ~/.bashrc")
```
