# Advanced Features Implementation Summary

## Overview

This document summarizes the implementation of three major advanced features for Zexus:

1. **Persistent Memory Management & Leak Detection**
2. **PROTECT Feature - Native Policy-as-Code**
3. **Dependency Injection & Module Mocking**

Implementation Date: December 13, 2025

---

## 1. Persistent Memory Management

### Architecture

#### File: `src/zexus/persistence.py`

Extends persistent storage beyond contracts to all storage keywords (LET, CONST, ENTITY, etc.).

### Components

#### Memory Tracking (`MemoryTracker`)

**Purpose**: Detect potential memory leaks by tracking object allocations

**Features**:
- Weak reference tracking (auto-cleanup when objects are garbage collected)
- Allocation counting with threshold alerts
- Type-based statistics
- Context tracking for debugging

**API**:
```python
track_allocation(obj: Object, context: str)  # Track an object
get_memory_stats() -> Dict                    # Get statistics
enable_memory_tracking() / disable_memory_tracking()
```

**Key Implementation Details**:
- Uses Python's `weakref` module to avoid preventing garbage collection
- Alerts when tracked objects exceed threshold (default: 100,000)
- Automatically removes references when objects are collected

#### Persistent Storage (`PersistentStorage`)

**Purpose**: Store variables persistently across program executions

**Backend**: SQLite database per scope

**Features**:
- Type-preserving serialization/deserialization
- Const variable tracking
- Thread-safe operations (uses locks)
- Support for all Zexus types: String, Integer, Float, Boolean, List, Map, EntityInstance

**Schema**:
```sql
CREATE TABLE variables (
    name TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    type TEXT NOT NULL,
    value TEXT NOT NULL,
    is_const INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    created_at REAL NOT NULL,
    updated_at REAL NOT NULL
)
```

**API**:
```python
storage = PersistentStorage("my_scope")
storage.set("counter", Integer(42), is_const=False)
value = storage.get("counter")
storage.delete("counter")
storage.is_const("counter")
storage.list_variables()
```

#### Persistent Environment Mixin (`PersistentEnvironmentMixin`)

**Purpose**: Extend Environment class with persistence capabilities

**Usage**:
```python
env = Environment(persistence_scope="my_app", enable_persistence=True)
env.set_persistent("user_count", Integer(0), is_const=False)
value = env.get_persistent("user_count")
```

**Features**:
- Automatic loading of persisted variables on initialization
- Seamless integration with existing Environment API
- Tracking of which variables are persisted

### Use Cases

1. **Application State**: Persist user preferences, counters, configuration
2. **Session Management**: Store session data across restarts
3. **Memory Profiling**: Track allocation patterns to find leaks
4. **Testing**: Verify objects are properly garbage collected

### Storage Location

All persistent data stored in: `~/.zexus/persistence/`

Each scope gets its own SQLite database: `{scope_name}.sqlite`

---

## 2. PROTECT Feature - Native Policy-as-Code

### Architecture

#### File: `src/zexus/policy_engine.py`

Implements declarative security policy injection with VERIFY and RESTRICT.

### Components

#### Policy Rules

**Base Class**: `PolicyRule`
- Abstract interface for all policy rules
- `evaluate(context) -> (success: bool, message: str)`

**Concrete Implementations**:

1. **VerifyRule**: Boolean condition checks
   ```python
   rule = VerifyRule(
       condition_fn=lambda ctx: ctx['TX'].get('caller') == ctx['owner'],
       description="Caller must be owner"
   )
   ```

2. **RestrictRule**: Data constraint validation
   ```python
   rule = RestrictRule(
       field_name="email",
       constraints=[
           length_constraint(min_len=6),
           contains_constraint("@")
       ],
       description="Email format validation"
   )
   ```

#### Protection Policy (`ProtectionPolicy`)

**Purpose**: Complete security policy for a target (function/entity/contract)

**Features**:
- Multiple rule composition
- Enforcement levels: `strict`, `warn`, `audit`, `permissive`
- Middleware chain support
- Violation handlers
- Audit logging

**Enforcement Levels**:
- **strict**: Fail immediately on first violation
- **warn**: Log warning but continue, collect all violations
- **audit**: Log only, always allow execution
- **permissive**: No enforcement, no logging

**Example**:
```python
policy = ProtectionPolicy("Profile.update_email", enforcement_level="strict")
policy.add_rule(VerifyRule(...))
policy.add_rule(RestrictRule(...))
passed, violations = policy.evaluate(context)
```

#### Policy Registry (`PolicyRegistry`)

**Purpose**: Global registry for all protection policies

**Features**:
- Function wrapping with policy enforcement
- Centralized policy management
- Audit summary across all policies

**API**:
```python
registry = get_policy_registry()
registry.protect_function("update_email", original_fn, policy)
result = registry.execute_protected("update_email", context)
summary = registry.get_audit_summary()
```

#### Policy Builder (`PolicyBuilder`)

**Purpose**: Fluent API for creating policies

**Example**:
```python
policy = (PolicyBuilder("transfer_funds")
    .add_verify_condition(check_balance, "Sufficient balance")
    .add_restrict_constraint("amount", [range_constraint(min_val=0)])
    .set_enforcement("strict")
    .build())
```

### Built-in Constraints

```python
length_constraint(min_len, max_len)      # String length
contains_constraint(substring)            # String contains
range_constraint(min_val, max_val)       # Numeric range
equality_constraint(expected_value)       # Exact match
caller_constraint(allowed_callers)        # TX.caller whitelist
```

### Zexus Syntax Example

```zexus
ENTITY Profile {
    PRIVATE TEXT email
    PUBLIC ACTION update_email(new_email) { ... }
}

PROTECT Profile.update_email {
    // Policy 1: Verify caller is owner
    VERIFY (TX.caller == self.owner)
    
    // Policy 2: Restrict email format
    RESTRICT new_email WHERE (
        new_email.length > 5 AND 
        new_email.contains("@")
    )
}
```

### Implementation Flow

1. **Parse** PROTECT block → create `ProtectStatement` AST node
2. **Evaluate** PROTECT statement → build `ProtectionPolicy`
3. **Register** policy with target in `PolicyRegistry`
4. **Intercept** target function calls → evaluate policy before execution
5. **Enforce** based on policy rules and enforcement level
6. **Audit** all policy evaluations for compliance tracking

### Use Cases

1. **Access Control**: Owner-only actions, role-based permissions
2. **Data Validation**: Email format, password strength, data ranges
3. **Rate Limiting**: Request throttling, burst protection
4. **Compliance**: GDPR, HIPAA, financial regulations
5. **Security Hardening**: SQL injection prevention, XSS protection

---

## 3. Dependency Injection & Module Mocking

### Architecture

#### File: `src/zexus/dependency_injection.py`

Implements Inversion of Control (IoC) with EXPORT/EXTERNAL keywords.

### Components

#### Execution Modes (`ExecutionMode`)

```python
class ExecutionMode(Enum):
    PRODUCTION = "production"
    DEBUG = "debug"
    TEST = "test"
    SANDBOX = "sandbox"
```

**Behavior**:
- **TEST/SANDBOX**: Prefer mocks over real dependencies
- **PRODUCTION/DEBUG**: Use real dependencies only

**API**:
```python
set_execution_mode(ExecutionMode.TEST)
mode = get_execution_mode()
```

#### Dependency Contract (`DependencyContract`)

**Purpose**: Define requirements for external dependencies

**Properties**:
- `name`: Dependency identifier
- `type`: Type hint ("function", "object", "const", "any")
- `required`: Whether dependency must be provided
- `default_value`: Optional default if not provided

**Validation**:
```python
contract = DependencyContract("DatabaseAPI", "function", required=True)
valid, error_msg = contract.validate(value)
```

#### Dependency Container (`DependencyContainer`)

**Purpose**: Manage dependencies for a module

**Features**:
- Declare dependency contracts
- Provide real implementations
- Mock dependencies for testing
- Automatic mode-based resolution (mocks in TEST mode)
- Dependency validation

**API**:
```python
container = DependencyContainer("my_module")
container.declare_dependency("DatabaseAPI", "function", required=True)
container.provide("DatabaseAPI", real_api)
container.mock("DatabaseAPI", mock_api)
value = container.get("DatabaseAPI")  # Returns mock in TEST mode
```

#### DI Registry (`DIRegistry`)

**Purpose**: Global registry for all module containers

**Features**:
- Module registration
- Cross-module dependency injection
- Global mock clearing
- Statistics and monitoring

**API**:
```python
registry = get_di_registry()
container = registry.register_module("my_module")
registry.provide_dependency("my_module", "DatabaseAPI", api)
registry.mock_dependency("my_module", "DatabaseAPI", mock)
valid, errors = registry.validate_module("my_module")
stats = registry.get_stats()
```

#### Module Builder (`ModuleBuilder`)

**Purpose**: Fluent API for building modules with DI

**Example**:
```python
module = (ModuleBuilder("data_service")
    .require_external("DatabaseAPI", "function")
    .require_const("max_retries", default_value=3)
    .build())
```

#### Mock Factory (`MockFactory`)

**Purpose**: Create test mocks and spies

**Mock Types**:

1. **Function Mock**:
   ```python
   mock_fn = MockFactory.create_function_mock("fetch", return_value=String("test"))
   ```

2. **Object Mock**:
   ```python
   mock_obj = MockFactory.create_object_mock({"id": Integer(1), "name": String("test")})
   ```

3. **API Mock**:
   ```python
   mock_api = MockFactory.create_api_mock({
       "get_user": String("User data"),
       "delete_user": BooleanObj(True)
   })
   ```

4. **Spy Function** (records calls):
   ```python
   spy, call_log = MockFactory.create_spy_function("api_call", original_fn)
   # Later: inspect call_log for [{'args': ..., 'timestamp': ...}]
   ```

#### Test Context (`TestContext`)

**Purpose**: Context manager for testing with automatic mock cleanup

**Usage**:
```python
with test_with_mocks("my_module", {"DatabaseAPI": mock_api}):
    # Inside context: TEST mode, mocks active
    result = execute_module_code()
# Outside context: original mode restored, mocks cleared
```

### Zexus Syntax Example

```zexus
// Module declares dependencies via EXPORT
EXPORT {
    EXTERNAL DatabaseAPI
    EXTERNAL CONST max_retries = 3
}

ACTION fetch_data(id) {
    // Use injected dependency
    return DatabaseAPI.query(id, max_retries)
}

// In test file:
TEST "fetch_data with mocked database" {
    // Mock the DatabaseAPI
    MOCK DatabaseAPI {
        query: action(id, retries) {
            return { id: id, name: "Test User" }
        }
    }
    
    let result = fetch_data(123)
    ASSERT(result.name == "Test User")
}
```

### Implementation Flow

1. **Declaration Phase**:
   - Parse EXPORT block → extract EXTERNAL declarations
   - Create `DependencyContainer` for module
   - Declare contracts for each EXTERNAL

2. **Injection Phase**:
   - Production: Provide real implementations
   - Testing: Provide mocks via TEST blocks

3. **Resolution Phase**:
   - Module code requests dependency via container
   - Container checks execution mode
   - Returns mock (TEST/SANDBOX) or real (PRODUCTION/DEBUG)

4. **Validation Phase**:
   - Before module execution, validate all required dependencies satisfied
   - Fail fast if missing dependencies

### Use Cases

1. **Testing**: Mock external APIs, databases, file systems
2. **Development**: Stub out incomplete dependencies
3. **Integration**: Swap implementations without code changes
4. **Scalability**: Decouple modules for independent scaling
5. **Maintainability**: Single source of truth for dependencies

---

## Integration with Existing Features

### Contracts + Persistence

```zexus
contract Token {
    // Contracts already have persistent storage
    persistent storage balances: Map<Address, integer>
    
    // New: Other variables can also be persistent
    persistent let total_transactions = 0
    persistent const fee_percentage = 0.01
}
```

### Contracts + PROTECT

```zexus
contract Wallet {
    persistent storage owner: Address
    persistent storage balance: integer
    
    action withdraw(amount: integer) {
        // Protection policy enforced automatically
    }
}

PROTECT Wallet.withdraw {
    VERIFY (TX.caller == self.owner)
    RESTRICT amount WHERE (amount > 0 AND amount <= self.balance)
}
```

### Modules + DI + PROTECT

```zexus
EXPORT {
    EXTERNAL AuthService
    EXTERNAL CONST session_timeout = 3600
}

ACTION secure_operation(user_id) {
    // Uses injected AuthService
    let authenticated = AuthService.verify(user_id, session_timeout)
    // ... operation logic ...
}

PROTECT secure_operation {
    VERIFY (AuthService.is_authenticated())
}
```

### WATCH + Persistence

```zexus
// Reactive persistent state
persistent let temperature = 25

watch temperature => {
    persistent let temperature_log = get_persistent("temperature_log") || []
    temperature_log = temperature_log + [{
        value: temperature,
        timestamp: now()
    }]
    set_persistent("temperature_log", temperature_log)
}
```

## Performance Considerations

### Persistent Storage

**Pros**:
- ✅ SQLite is lightweight and fast
- ✅ Lazy loading (only accessed variables loaded)
- ✅ Transactions provide ACID guarantees

**Cons**:
- ❌ File I/O overhead on every set/get
- ❌ No caching layer (could be added)
- ❌ Single-threaded SQLite connection per scope

**Optimizations**:
- Use in-memory mode for non-critical data
- Batch updates in transactions
- Consider adding write-behind cache

### Memory Tracking

**Pros**:
- ✅ Weak references don't prevent GC
- ✅ Thread-safe with locks
- ✅ Can be disabled in production

**Cons**:
- ❌ Tracking overhead on every allocation
- ❌ Memory overhead for tracking metadata

**Optimizations**:
- Disable in production unless profiling
- Sample tracking (track 1 in N allocations)
- Batch statistic aggregation

### Policy Engine

**Pros**:
- ✅ O(1) policy lookup by target name
- ✅ Rule evaluation is typically fast (simple conditions)
- ✅ Can be disabled with "permissive" mode

**Cons**:
- ❌ Rule evaluation overhead on every protected call
- ❌ Middleware chain adds call stack depth

**Optimizations**:
- Cache policy evaluation results for idempotent checks
- Skip rules for "permissive" enforcement level
- Compile rules to bytecode

### Dependency Injection

**Pros**:
- ✅ O(1) dependency lookup (dict-based)
- ✅ No runtime overhead in PRODUCTION mode
- ✅ Validation done once at startup

**Cons**:
- ❌ Mode checking overhead on every get()
- ❌ Mock tracking uses extra memory in TEST mode

**Optimizations**:
- Cache execution mode to avoid repeated checks
- Clear mocks eagerly after tests
- Use direct references in production builds

## Future Enhancements

### Persistence

1. **Write-Behind Cache**: Buffer writes, flush periodically
2. **Replication**: Sync persistent data across nodes
3. **Compression**: Compress stored values
4. **TTL Support**: Auto-expire old values
5. **Encryption**: Encrypt sensitive persistent data

### PROTECT

1. **Policy Compilation**: Compile rules to bytecode for speed
2. **Policy Templates**: Reusable policy patterns
3. **Dynamic Policies**: Runtime policy modification
4. **Policy Inheritance**: Entity policies inherit from parents
5. **External Policy Files**: Load policies from JSON/YAML

### Dependency Injection

1. **Auto-Wiring**: Automatically inject based on type hints
2. **Lifecycle Management**: Singleton, transient, scoped lifetimes
3. **Circular Dependency Detection**: Detect and report cycles
4. **Lazy Injection**: Delay instantiation until first use
5. **Factory Functions**: Inject factory instead of instance

---

## Security Considerations

### Persistence

- **File Permissions**: Ensure only owner can read/write persistent DBs
- **Injection Attacks**: Sanitize variable names (no SQL injection possible with parameterized queries)
- **Data Leakage**: Clear sensitive data from persistence when no longer needed

### Policy Engine

- **Policy Tampering**: Store policies immutably, hash for integrity
- **Privilege Escalation**: Ensure policies can't be bypassed via reflection
- **DOS**: Limit policy complexity to prevent performance attacks

### Dependency Injection

- **Mock Injection in Production**: Ensure TEST mode can't be enabled in prod
- **Dependency Confusion**: Validate dependency sources
- **Information Leakage**: Don't expose internal dependencies in error messages

---

### Implementation Examples

#### Example 1: Persistent Configuration
```zexus
// Store configuration persistently
persistent_set("api_endpoint", "https://api.example.com")
persistent_set("max_retries", 3)

// Retrieve later (even after program restart)
let endpoint = persistent_get("api_endpoint", "https://default.com")
let retries = persistent_get("max_retries", 1)
```

#### Example 2: Dynamic Policy Creation
```zexus
// Create policy programmatically
let admin_rules = {
    "verify": ["user.role == 'admin'", "user.authenticated == true"],
    "restrict": {
        "age": ["min:18", "max:120"]
    },
    "audit": true
}

create_policy("admin_access", admin_rules)

// Check policy enforcement
let context = {
    "user": {"role": "admin", "authenticated": true},
    "age": 25
}

let result = check_policy("admin_access", context)
// Returns true if policy passes
```

#### Example 3: Mode-Aware Dependency Injection
```zexus
// Production mode
set_execution_mode("PRODUCTION")
register_dependency("DatabaseAPI", prod_db_config)
inject DatabaseAPI  // Gets production config

// Test mode
set_execution_mode("TEST")
mock_dependency("DatabaseAPI", mock_db_config)
inject DatabaseAPI  // Gets mock config

clear_mocks()  // Clean up after tests
```

#### Example 4: Declarative Protection
```zexus
protect criticalFunction {
    verify (caller == "admin")
    restrict data {
        length: min 10, max 100
        type: ["string", "number"]
    }
}

// Function is now protected by policy
// Enforcement happens automatically during execution
```

### Architecture Enhancements
