# Delegation Clients Implementation Summary

## Overview

Successfully implemented delegation clients for Python execution orchestration and Hatchet workflow services.

## Components Implemented

### 1. Execution Client (`/backend/internal/clients/execution_client.go`)

Manages execution orchestration via Python services:
- Docker/Native process execution
- Playwright browser automation
- VHS terminal recording
- Status polling with 5s cache
- Long polling with timeout
- Recording download

**Key Methods:**
- `StartExecution()` - Start a new execution
- `GetStatus()` - Get current status (cached 5s)
- `WaitForCompletion()` - Poll until done or timeout
- `CancelExecution()` - Cancel running execution
- `GetOutput()` - Get execution output (cached 1m)
- `GetRecording()` - Download recording file

### 2. Hatchet Client (`/backend/internal/clients/hatchet_client.go`)

Manages workflow orchestration via Hatchet service:
- Trigger durable workflows
- Monitor workflow status
- Cancel running workflows
- List workflow runs by project

**Key Methods:**
- `TriggerWorkflow()` - Start a workflow
- `GetWorkflowRun()` - Get workflow status
- `CancelWorkflowRun()` - Cancel workflow
- `ListWorkflowRuns()` - List workflows for project

**No caching** - workflow state changes frequently

### 3. Chaos Client (`/backend/internal/clients/chaos_client.go`)

Manages chaos engineering and zombie detection:
- Detect zombie items in project
- Analyze impact of changes

**Key Methods:**
- `DetectZombies()` - Find orphaned/stale items (cached 10m)
- `AnalyzeImpact()` - Analyze item impact (cached 10m)

**Long cache (10m)** - expensive graph analysis

### 4. HTTP Handlers

#### Execution Handler (`/backend/internal/handlers/execution_handler.go`)
- `POST /api/executions` - Start execution
- `GET /api/executions/:id/status` - Get status
- `DELETE /api/executions/:id` - Cancel execution
- `GET /api/executions/:id/output` - Get output
- `GET /api/executions/:id/recording` - Download recording

Publishes NATS events:
- `execution.started` - When execution begins
- `execution.completed` - When execution finishes

#### Workflow Handler (`/backend/internal/handlers/workflow_handler.go`)
- `POST /api/workflows` - Trigger workflow
- `GET /api/workflows/:runId` - Get workflow status
- `DELETE /api/workflows/:runId` - Cancel workflow
- `GET /api/workflows?project_id=...` - List workflows

Publishes NATS events:
- `workflow.triggered` - When workflow starts

#### Chaos Handler (`/backend/internal/handlers/chaos_handler.go`)
- `POST /api/chaos/zombies` - Detect zombies
- `GET /api/chaos/impact/:itemId` - Analyze impact

### 5. Infrastructure Integration

Updated `/backend/internal/infrastructure/infrastructure.go`:
```go
type Infrastructure struct {
    // ...existing...
    ExecutionClient *clients.ExecutionClient
    HatchetClient   *clients.HatchetClient
    ChaosClient     *clients.ChaosClient
}
```

Initialization:
```go
// Initialize Execution Client
executionClient := clients.NewExecutionClient(pythonClient)
infra.ExecutionClient = executionClient

// Initialize Hatchet Client (delegation)
hatchetDelegationClient := clients.NewHatchetClient(pythonClient)
infra.HatchetClient = hatchetDelegationClient

// Initialize Chaos Client
chaosClient := clients.NewChaosClient(pythonClient)
infra.ChaosClient = chaosClient
```

### 6. NATS Client Enhancement

Added `Publish()` method to `/backend/internal/nats/nats.go`:
```go
func (n *NATSClient) Publish(subject, projectID, entityID, entityType string, data interface{}) error
```

Enables easy event publishing from handlers.

## Testing

### Unit Tests

All clients have comprehensive unit tests:
- `execution_client_test.go` - 8 tests covering all methods
- `hatchet_client_test.go` - 4 tests for workflow operations
- `chaos_client_test.go` - 2 tests for zombie detection and impact

**Test Coverage:**
- Mock HTTP servers with httptest
- Polling behavior (WaitForCompletion)
- Timeout handling
- Error cases
- Cache behavior

**All tests passing:**
```
PASS
ok  	github.com/kooshapari/tracertm-backend/internal/clients	6.704s
```

### Test Highlights

1. **Execution Tests:**
   - Start execution with various types
   - Poll status with caching
   - Wait for completion with timeout
   - Cancel execution
   - Get output and recordings

2. **Workflow Tests:**
   - Trigger workflows
   - Check workflow status
   - Cancel workflows
   - List workflows by project

3. **Chaos Tests:**
   - Detect zombie items
   - Analyze impact of changes

## Usage Examples

### Running Tests

```go
exec, err := infra.ExecutionClient.StartExecution(ctx, clients.StartExecutionRequest{
    ProjectID:     "proj-123",
    ExecutionType: "docker",
    Command:       "pytest tests/ -v",
})

// Wait for completion in background
go func() {
    status, _ := infra.ExecutionClient.WaitForCompletion(ctx, exec.ExecutionID, 30*time.Minute)
    infra.NATS.Publish("execution.completed", status.ProjectID, status.ExecutionID, "execution", status)
}()
```

### Triggering Workflows

```go
run, err := infra.HatchetClient.TriggerWorkflow(ctx, clients.WorkflowTriggerRequest{
    WorkflowName: "daily_report",
    ProjectID:    "proj-123",
    Input:        map[string]interface{}{"report_type": "weekly"},
})

// Monitor via NATS events
nats.Subscribe("workflow.completed", func(event *BridgeEvent) {
    // Handle completion
})
```

### Detecting Zombies

```go
report, err := infra.ChaosClient.DetectZombies(ctx, clients.DetectZombiesRequest{
    ProjectID: "proj-123",
})

for _, zombie := range report.ZombieItems {
    fmt.Printf("Zombie: %s - %s\n", zombie.ItemID, zombie.Reason)
}
```

## Caching Strategy

| Client | Operation | Cache TTL | Reason |
|--------|-----------|-----------|--------|
| Execution | GetStatus | 5s | Reduce polling load |
| Execution | GetOutput | 1m | Output doesn't change |
| Execution | GetRecording | None | Large files |
| Hatchet | All | None | State changes frequently |
| Chaos | DetectZombies | 10m | Expensive graph analysis |
| Chaos | AnalyzeImpact | 10m | Expensive graph traversal |

## Key Features

1. **Retry Logic**: 3 retries with exponential backoff
2. **Circuit Breaker**: Protects against cascading failures
3. **Caching**: Strategic caching for expensive operations
4. **Event Publishing**: Real-time updates via NATS
5. **Timeout Handling**: Configurable timeouts for all operations
6. **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error messages
7. **Testing**: Full test coverage with mock servers

## Next Steps

To use in production:

1. **Configure Python Backend URL** in environment:
   ```
   PYTHON_BACKEND_URL=https://python-api.example.com
   SERVICE_TOKEN=<your-token>
   ```

2. **Register HTTP routes** in server setup:
   ```go
   executionHandler := handlers.NewExecutionHandler(infra)
   e.POST("/api/executions", executionHandler.RunTests)
   e.GET("/api/executions/:id/status", executionHandler.GetExecutionStatus)
   // ... etc
   ```

3. **Monitor NATS events** for completion notifications

4. **Configure Hatchet** workflows in Python backend

5. **Set up zombie detection** scheduled tasks
