    • Structured log parsing
    • Real-time monitoring
    • Log rotation and cleanup

  3. Session Management

    • Native session tracking
    • Parallel session coordination
    • Session state persistence
    • Activity monitoring

Phase 2: Monitoring & Analytics (Week 2)​

  1. File Monitor Integration

    • Native file watching (notify crate)
    • AI tool detection
    • Operation tracking
    • Performance optimization

  2. Export Watcher

    • Pattern matching for exports
    • Automatic archival
    • Session linkage
    • Metadata extraction

  3. Analytics Engine

    • Actix-web based server
    • Static file serving
    • WebSocket support
    • Log streaming API

  2. MCP Integration

    • MCP server implementation
    • Tool registration
    • Client connections
    • Protocol handling

  3. API Gateway

    • REST endpoints
    • GraphQL support
    • Authentication
    • Rate limiting

Phase 4: Database & AI (Week 4)​

  1. FoundationDB Direct Access

    • Native FDB client
    • Key-value operations
    • Multi-tenant support
    • Transaction handling

  2. AI Agent Orchestration

    • Agent communication
    • Task distribution
    • Context management
    • Performance monitoring

  3. WASM Integration

    • Load CODITECT WASM modules
    • Terminal emulation
    • Browser compatibility
    • Resource management

Migration Strategy​

Step 1: Parallel Development​

  • Keep bash scripts operational
  • Implement Rust commands alongside
  • Test thoroughly before switching

Step 2: Gradual Replacement​

  • Replace simple commands first (log, status)
  • Move to complex monitors
  • Maintain backward compatibility

Step 3: Full Migration​

  • Replace all bash scripts
  • Remove legacy code
  • Update documentation
  • Release as single binary

Testing Strategy​

Unit Tests​

  • Command parsing
  • Log operations
  • Configuration loading
  • Utility functions

Integration Tests​

  • File monitoring
  • Server endpoints
  • Database operations
  • MCP protocol

End-to-End Tests​

  • Full workflow scenarios
  • Multi-command sequences
