## API Endpoints

### REST API

All endpoints require authentication and project access.

**Base Path:** `/api/v1/projects/{projectId}/versions`

#### 1. Compare Two Versions
```
GET /compare?from={versionA}&to={versionB}
```
Returns: Full VersionDiff with field-level changes
Use Case: Detailed comparison view

#### 2. Diff Summary
```
GET /compare/summary?from={versionA}&to={versionB}
```
Returns: Statistics summary only
Use Case: Quick overview in version lists

#### 3. Bulk Comparison
```
POST /compare/bulk
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "comparisons": [
    { "fromVersionId": "v1", "toVersionId": "v2" }
  ]
}
```
Returns: Map of diffs for each pair (Max: 10 pairs)
Use Case: Comparing multiple version ranges

## Type Definitions

All types are defined in `frontend/packages/types/src/temporal.ts`:

### Core Types
- `DiffChangeType` - "added" | "removed" | "modified"
- `DiffSignificance` - "minor" | "moderate" | "major" | "breaking"
- `FieldDiffChange` - Field-level change record
- `DiffItem` - Item in diff result
- `DiffStatistics` - Change statistics
- `VersionDiff` - Complete diff result

### Configuration Types
- `DiffViewConfig` - UI configuration
- `DiffExportOptions` - Export format options
- `DiffExportResult` - Export result
- `DiffViewerState` - UI state management

## Component APIs

### VersionDiff Component
```tsx
<VersionDiff
  diff={diff}
  isLoading={false}
  versionALabel="Release 1.0"
  versionBLabel="Release 2.0"
  onExport={(result) => { /* handle export */ }}
/>
```

### DiffViewer Component
```tsx
<DiffViewer
  item={diffItem}
  fieldChanges={fieldChanges}
  viewerState={state}
  compact={false}
/>
```

### Export Utility
```tsx
const result = await exportDiff(diff, {
  format: "markdown",
  includeUnchanged: false,
  includeFieldChanges: true
});
```

## Testing

### Run Backend Tests
```bash
cd backend
go test ./internal/temporal -v
```

### Run Frontend Tests
```bash
cd frontend/apps/web
bun test src/__tests__/temporal/
```

## Integration Checklist

For integrating this system:

1. **Database**
   - Verify `versions` and `snapshots` tables exist
   - Ensure snapshots are stored as JSONB

2. **Backend**
   - Add DiffService to dependency injection
   - Register VersionDiffHandler routes
   - Update API documentation

3. **Frontend**
   - Install component in route
   - Import types from @repo/types
   - Hook up API calls

4. **Testing**
   - Run backend tests
   - Run frontend tests
   - Manual testing in UI

## Troubleshooting

### Backend

**Issue:** Tests fail due to missing imports
- Solution: Ensure `temporal` package is in correct location
- Check: `backend/internal/temporal/diff_service.go`

**Issue:** API returns 500 error
- Solution: Check snapshot format (must be valid JSON)
- Check: Version IDs are valid UUIDs

### Frontend

**Issue:** Components not rendering
- Solution: Verify diff data structure matches VersionDiff type
- Check: Console for TypeScript errors

**Issue:** Export not working
- Solution: Check browser clipboard permissions
- Check: File download is not blocked by browser
