# TemporalHandler Echo Integration - Completion Report

## Overview
Successfully completed the TemporalHandler integration with the Echo framework. The handler now properly implements all temporal operations for version control, branching, and timeline management in the Trace application.

## Task Completion Summary

### Task 1: Review Current Implementation ✅
- Reviewed `/internal/handlers/temporal_handler.go`
- Handler was already using Echo framework with correct patterns
- Identified pending implementations in all handler methods
- Confirmed framework compatibility (Echo v4)

### Task 2: Convert to Echo (Already Complete) ✅
- Handler already uses `echo.Context` correctly
- Request binding uses `c.Bind()` pattern
- Response methods use `c.JSON()`, `c.NoContent()`, etc.
- Error handling uses `http.Status*` codes properly

### Task 3: Implement Full Handler Integration ✅

#### Changes Made:
1. **Removed circular import workaround**
   - Replaced `interface{}` with direct `services.TemporalService` type
   - Removed reflection-based `callServiceMethod` helper
   - Now uses direct method calls on service interface

2. **Implemented all handler methods with proper Echo patterns:**

   **Branch Management:**
   - `CreateBranch` - Create new version branch (POST)
   - `GetBranch` - Retrieve specific branch (GET)
   - `ListBranches` - List branches for project (GET)
   - `UpdateBranch` - Update branch properties (PUT)
   - `DeleteBranch` - Delete branch (DELETE)

   **Version Control:**
   - `CreateVersion` - Create new version (POST)
   - `GetVersion` - Retrieve version details (GET)
   - `ListVersions` - List versions in branch (GET)
   - `ApproveVersion` - Approve version (POST)
   - `RejectVersion` - Reject version with reason (POST)

   **Item Versioning:**
   - `GetItemVersion` - Get item at specific version (GET)
   - `GetItemVersionHistory` - Get item history in branch (GET)
   - `RestoreItemVersion` - Restore item to previous version (POST)

   **Alternative Management:**
   - `ListAlternatives` - List item alternatives (GET)
   - `CreateAlternative` - Create new alternative (POST)
   - `SelectAlternative` - Select preferred alternative (POST)

   **Merge Operations:**
   - `CreateMergeRequest` - Create merge request (POST)
   - `GetMergeRequest` - Get merge request details (GET)
   - `ListMergeRequests` - List merge requests (GET)
   - `GetMergeDiff` - Compute merge diff (GET)
   - `MergeBranches` - Execute merge (POST)

   **Version Comparison:**
   - `CompareVersions` - Compare two versions (GET)

3. **Proper Error Handling:**
   - Service unavailable: HTTP 503
   - Invalid requests: HTTP 400 with validation details
   - Not found: HTTP 404 with error message
   - Server errors: HTTP 500 with error details
   - Success responses: HTTP 200 (OK), 201 (Created), 204 (No Content)

### Task 4: Register Routes in Server ✅

All routes properly registered in `/internal/server/server.go`:

```go
// Branch routes
api.GET("/projects/:projectId/branches", temporalHandler.ListBranches)
api.POST("/projects/:projectId/branches", temporalHandler.CreateBranch)
api.GET("/branches/:branchId", temporalHandler.GetBranch)
api.PUT("/branches/:branchId", temporalHandler.UpdateBranch)
api.DELETE("/branches/:branchId", temporalHandler.DeleteBranch)

// Version routes
api.GET("/branches/:branchId/versions", temporalHandler.ListVersions)
api.POST("/branches/:branchId/versions", temporalHandler.CreateVersion)
api.GET("/versions/:versionId", temporalHandler.GetVersion)
api.POST("/versions/:versionId/approve", temporalHandler.ApproveVersion)
api.POST("/versions/:versionId/reject", temporalHandler.RejectVersion)

// Item version routes
api.GET("/items/:itemId/versions/:versionId", temporalHandler.GetItemVersion)
api.GET("/items/:itemId/version-history", temporalHandler.GetItemVersionHistory)
api.POST("/items/:itemId/restore", temporalHandler.RestoreItemVersion)

// Alternative routes
api.GET("/items/:itemId/alternatives", temporalHandler.ListAlternatives)
api.POST("/items/:itemId/alternatives", temporalHandler.CreateAlternative)
api.POST("/alternatives/:altId/select", temporalHandler.SelectAlternative)

// Merge request routes
api.GET("/projects/:projectId/merge-requests", temporalHandler.ListMergeRequests)
api.POST("/projects/:projectId/merge-requests", temporalHandler.CreateMergeRequest)
api.GET("/merge-requests/:mrId", temporalHandler.GetMergeRequest)
api.GET("/merge-requests/:mrId/diff", temporalHandler.GetMergeDiff)
api.POST("/merge-requests/:mrId/merge", temporalHandler.MergeBranches)

// Version comparison routes
api.GET("/versions/:versionAId/compare/:versionBId", temporalHandler.CompareVersions)
```

### Task 5: Create Tests ✅

Comprehensive test suite in `/internal/handlers/temporal_handler_test.go`:

**Test Coverage:**
- Branch operations (create, get, list, delete)
- Version operations (create, approve, reject)
- Merge operations (create, merge, list)
- Alternative operations (create, select)
- Version comparison
- Item version management
- Error handling and validation

**Mock Implementation:**
- `MockTemporalService` with all interface methods
- Proper mock setup and assertion patterns
- Echo context setup helpers for testing

## Technical Implementation Details

### Architecture
```
HTTP Request → Echo Handler → Service Layer → Repository Layer → Database
              (temporal_handler.go) (services) (pgx repositories)
```

### Key Features Implemented

1. **Request Validation**
   - JSON schema binding with Echo's `c.Bind()`
   - Required field validation
   - Proper HTTP status codes for validation failures

2. **Service Integration**
   - Direct service method calls (no reflection)
   - Proper error propagation
   - Context passing through request chain

3. **Response Formatting**
   - Consistent JSON response structure
   - Proper HTTP status codes
   - Error messages with context

4. **Parameter Extraction**
   - Route parameters via `c.Param()`
   - Query parameters via `c.QueryParam()`
   - Request body binding via `c.Bind()`

✅ No circular dependencies
✅ All imports resolved correctly

## Next Steps (if needed)

1. Enable database migration scripts for temporal tables
2. Configure caching strategy for version history
3. Implement conflict resolution for merge operations
4. Add webhook notifications for version changes
5. Implement audit logging for all temporal operations

## Conclusion

The TemporalHandler has been successfully integrated with the Echo framework with full implementation of all temporal operations. The handler provides a clean, type-safe HTTP API for version control, branching, and timeline management. All code follows project standards, includes proper error handling, and is fully testable.
