🔄 DATA FLOW EXAMPLES

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Example 1: User Edits File → AI Code Review

1. User types in theia editor

2. Browser sends change via WebSocket

3. Socket.IO Gateway receives event
↓ (broadcasts to)
4. CODITECT Monitor detects change

5. Monitor generates diff, stores in FoundationDB

6. Monitor publishes to Redis pub/sub

7. CODITECT Command receives event

8. Command checks workflows (code_review workflow triggered)

9. Workflow executes:
a. Code Analyzer Agent → MCP Analysis Server
b. Security Scanner Agent → MCP Security Server
c. Claude Review Agent → MCP Anthropic Server → Claude API

10. Claude streams response

11. MCP Server forwards chunks to Command

12. Command publishes to Redis

13. Socket.IO Gateway sends to browser

14. theia renders in status panel

15. Results stored in FoundationDB

Example 2: Agent Generates Tests

1. User triggers "Generate Tests" command

2. CODITECT Command activates Test Generator Agent

3. Agent reads file from /workspace

4. Agent calls MCP Analysis Server (analyze_functions tool)

5. Agent builds prompt with analysis results

6. Agent calls MCP Anthropic Server

7. MCP Server sends prompt to Claude API

8. Claude generates test code (streams back)

9. Agent writes test file to /workspace

10. CODITECT Monitor detects new file

11. Monitor stores in FoundationDB

12. Monitor broadcasts via Socket.IO

13. Browser shows "Tests generated" notification

14. Agent runs tests (pytest)

15. Results shown in terminal panel

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

🔧 CRITICAL CONFIGURATION POINTS

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

1. NPM WebSocket Configuration (CRITICAL!)

# In NPM Proxy Host for Socket.IO:
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_read_timeout 7d;
proxy_send_timeout 7d;

Without this: Socket.IO won't connect!


2. Session Affinity (3 Layers)

# Layer 1: NPM
ip_hash;

# Layer 2: K8s Service
sessionAffinity: ClientIP

# Layer 3: K8s Ingress
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity: "cookie"

Without this: Users get disconnected!


3. FoundationDB Cluster File

# In all applications:
fdb.api_version(710)
db = fdb.open() # Reads /var/fdb/fdb.cluster

Without this: Can't connect to database!


4. Socket.IO Redis Adapter (Multi-Pod)

// In Socket.IO server:
const redisAdapter = require('@socket.io/redis-adapter');
io.adapter(redisAdapter(pubClient, subClient));

Without this: Messages only work within one pod!

🐛 COMMON ISSUES & SOLUTIONS

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Issue: theia won't start

# Check logs
docker-compose logs theia-ide

# Common causes:
- FoundationDB not ready → Wait for health check
- Missing cluster file → Check volume mount
- Port conflict → Change THEIA_PORT

Issue: MCP servers not connecting

# Test connectivity
docker-compose exec theia-ide curl http://mcp-analysis:8001/health

# Common causes:
- Network isolation → Check docker-compose network
- Wrong URL in config → Check MCP_*_URL env vars
- MCP server crashed → Check logs

Issue: File changes not detected

# Check Monitor logs
docker-compose exec theia-ide tail -f /var/log/coditect/monitor.log

# Common causes:
- Monitor not running → Check process
- Ignore pattern too broad → Review monitor.yml
- Volume mount issues → Check permissions

Issue: Agents not responding

# Check Command logs
docker-compose exec theia-ide tail -f /var/log/coditect/command.log

# Common causes:
- llm API key invalid → Check .env
- MCP server timeout → Increase timeout
- Workflow not triggered → Check trigger config
