What's Next (Phase 2)​

Immediate Next Steps​

  1. llm Integration Extension ⏳

    • Build @az1ai/llm-integration as proper theia extension
    • Implement MCP gateway (ADR-019)
    • Connect to LM Studio (already configured in docker-compose)

  2. Multi-Session Architecture ⏳

    • Session management service
    • FoundationDB integration
    • OPFS browser storage

  3. Agent System ⏳

    • Coordinator agent
    • Code generation agents
    • Code review agents
    • MCP + A2A protocol implementation

Testing Plan​

  • Manual browser testing of IDE
  • File operations testing
  • terminal functionality testing
  • Multi-tab editing testing
  • Docker build testing
  • GCP Cloud Run deployment testing

Known Issues / Limitations​

Current MVP​

  1. llm Extension Not Loaded

    • Status: Intentionally disabled for MVP
    • Reason: Needs proper workspace configuration
    • Fix: Build as standalone theia extension in Phase 2

  2. Webpack Bundle Size

    • Bundle: 11.2 MB (exceeds recommended 244 KB)
    • Impact: Slower initial page load
    • Mitigation: Implement code splitting in production

  3. Build Warnings

    • Monaco editor expression dependencies (normal)
    • Performance recommendations (expected for dev mode)
    • No critical errors

Production Readiness​

Currently NOT production-ready:

  • ❌ No user authentication
  • ❌ No SSL/TLS configured
  • ❌ No audit logging
  • ❌ No llm integration
  • ❌ No multi-session support
  • ❌ No horizontal scaling
