# CODITECT Integration Impact: {Technology}

**Research Date:** 2026-02-16
**Analyst:** Claude (Sonnet 4.5)
**Status:** Draft for Engineering Review

---

## Executive Summary

[2-3 sentences: What is this technology, why are we evaluating it, high-level fit assessment]

**Recommendation:** [Go / No-Go / Conditional — if conditional, state the conditions]

**Key Findings:**
- ✅ [Advantage 1]
- ✅ [Advantage 2]
- ⚠️ [Gap 1]
- ❌ [Blocker 1]

---

## 1. Integration Architecture

### Control Plane vs Data Plane

**Technology Role:** [Control Plane / Data Plane / Both]

**Control Plane Integration:**
- How technology interacts with CODITECT orchestration layer
- Does it require custom APIs, webhooks, or message queues?
- Integration points: [list specific CODITECT components]

**Data Plane Integration:**
- Where does this technology process tenant data?
- Data flow: [diagram or description of data movement]
- Isolation boundaries: [how tenant data is segregated]

**Example:**

Technology sits in Data Plane as a tenant-isolated processing service. Control Plane (Django backend) sends jobs via Redis queue. Results written back to tenant-scoped PostgreSQL tables.

### CODITECT Component Touchpoints

| CODITECT Component | Integration Type | Modification Required |
|--------------------|------------------|----------------------|
| Django Backend API | REST API calls | ✅ New endpoints for tech configuration |
| PostgreSQL | Schema extension | ✅ Add `tech_config` table with tenant_id |
| Redis Queue | Job queuing | ✅ New job type: `tech.process` |
| React Dashboard | UI integration | ✅ New settings panel |
| AI Agent Orchestrator | Agent invocation | ⚠️ Requires adapter pattern |
| Audit Log Service | Event tracking | ✅ Emit `tech.action` events |

---

## 2. Multi-Tenancy & Isolation

### Data Isolation Strategy

**Technology's Native Multi-Tenancy:** [Yes / No / Partial]

**If No/Partial, CODITECT Isolation Pattern:**
- **Database:** Tenant-scoped tables with `tenant_id` prefix on all queries
- **Storage:** Separate S3 buckets per tenant OR `tenant_id/` prefix
- **Processing:** Isolated worker pools OR job queue partitioning
- **Authentication:** CODITECT JWT passed to technology, tenant context extracted

**Risks:**
- ⚠️ Technology does not natively support tenant_id scoping — must be enforced at CODITECT layer
- ❌ Shared cache (Redis) without tenant prefixing — risk of data leakage

**Mitigations:**
- Wrap all technology API calls in tenant context middleware
- Implement row-level security (RLS) in PostgreSQL for tech-related tables
- Use separate Redis databases per tenant (0-15) OR enforce key prefixing

---

## 3. Compliance Surface

### Auditability

**Technology Audit Logging:** [Built-in / Requires Integration / None]

**CODITECT Audit Requirements:**
- All user actions must emit structured JSON logs to `audit_log` table
- Logs must include: `tenant_id`, `user_id`, `action`, `resource`, `timestamp`, `ip_address`

**Integration Approach:**
- Technology events published to CODITECT event bus (Redis Streams / Kafka)
- Audit service subscribes, enriches with tenant context, writes to `audit_log`

**Gaps:**
- ❌ Technology does not log configuration changes — CODITECT must proxy all config mutations
- ⚠️ No built-in IP address tracking — CODITECT must inject from request context

### Policy Injection Points

**CODITECT Policy Engine:** Tenant-level policies control data access, retention, export

**Policy Injection:**
- Where can CODITECT policies intercept technology operations?
- Can policies block actions (e.g., "no PII export for HIPAA tenants")?

**Example:**

Technology exposes webhook before data export. CODITECT policy engine intercepts, checks tenant policy. If HIPAA tenant and export includes PII fields, block export.

**Gaps:**
- ❌ No pre-processing hooks — policies can only be enforced at CODITECT API layer
- ✅ Technology supports custom middleware — inject CODITECT policy checks

### E-Signatures & Evidence

**CODITECT Requirement:** Critical actions require e-signature with evidence trail

**Technology Support:** [Yes / No / Partial]

**Integration:**
- Route critical technology actions through CODITECT e-signature workflow
- Technology waits on async approval (webhook callback)
- Evidence stored: `esignature_evidence` table with `tech_action_id`

**Gaps:**
- ❌ No built-in approval workflow — must be bolted on at CODITECT layer

---

## 4. Observability

### Metrics & Monitoring

**Technology Metrics Exposure:** [Prometheus / StatsD / Custom / None]

**CODITECT Observability Stack:** Prometheus + Grafana + Loki (logs)

**Integration:**
- Technology metrics scraped by Prometheus (if `/metrics` endpoint available)
- OR: Technology publishes to StatsD, forwarded to Prometheus

**Custom Dashboards:**
- Grafana dashboard for per-tenant technology usage
- Alerts: SLA violations, error rate spikes, resource exhaustion

**Gaps:**
- ⚠️ No per-tenant metrics — CODITECT must parse logs to attribute usage
- ✅ Technology supports OpenTelemetry — can inject tenant_id as span attribute

### Distributed Tracing

**CODITECT Tracing:** OpenTelemetry with Jaeger backend

**Technology Support:** [Native / Requires Instrumentation / None]

**Integration:**
- CODITECT passes `trace_id` in request headers
- Technology propagates trace context through internal calls
- Spans sent to CODITECT Jaeger collector

**Gaps:**
- ❌ Technology does not support trace context propagation — blind spot in traces

---

## 5. Multi-Agent Orchestration Fit

**CODITECT Agent Framework:** Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) with 776 agents, Claude Code integration

### Agent Invocation Patterns

**Can this technology be invoked by CODITECT agents?**
- **API-driven:** Agents call technology's REST/GraphQL API
- **Event-driven:** Agents publish events, technology subscribes
- **Direct integration:** Technology runs as CODITECT agent (if LangChain/CrewAI compatible)

**Example:**
```python
# CODITECT agent invokes technology
from coditect.integrations import TechnologyClient

async def agent_task(tenant_id: str, input_data: dict):
    client = TechnologyClient(tenant_id=tenant_id)
    result = await client.process(input_data)
    return result

Agent-to-Agent Communication

Can this technology's agents communicate with CODITECT agents?

Shared message bus (Redis Streams)?
Event-driven coordination?
Tool sharing (technology provides tools to CODITECT agents)?

Gaps:

⚠️ Technology uses proprietary agent framework (not LangChain) — adapter required
✅ Technology exposes tools via OpenAPI — CODITECT agents can consume

6. Advantages

Why integrate this technology into CODITECT?

[Advantage 1]: [Specific benefit with quantitative data if available]
- Example: "Reduces document processing time from 5 min to 30 sec (10x improvement)"
[Advantage 2]: [Technical capability CODITECT lacks]
- Example: "Provides OCR with 99.2% accuracy on handwritten forms"
[Advantage 3]: [Ecosystem compatibility]
- Example: "Native LangChain integration — zero adapter code required"

7. Gaps & Risks

Be explicit — no diplomatic phrasing.

Critical Gaps

❌ No multi-tenant isolation: Technology stores all data in shared tables, no tenant_id scoping
❌ No audit logging: Configuration changes not logged, compliance risk
❌ AGPL license: Requires SaaS source disclosure, incompatible with CODITECT proprietary model

Major Gaps

⚠️ No HIPAA compliance claims: Technology documentation makes no mention of HIPAA, PHI handling
⚠️ Single-region deployment: No multi-region support, data residency risk for EU tenants
⚠️ No rate limiting: Must be implemented at CODITECT layer to prevent tenant DoS

Minor Gaps

ℹ️ Limited metrics granularity: Per-tenant metrics require log parsing
ℹ️ No webhook authentication: CODITECT must verify webhook signatures manually

Risks

🔴 Vendor lock-in: Technology uses proprietary data format, migration cost high
🟡 Performance unknown at scale: No published benchmarks >1000 tenants
🟢 Community support declining: GitHub issues response time >2 weeks

8. Integration Patterns

Recommended Approach

Pattern: [Sidecar / API Gateway / Direct Integration / Async Queue]

Rationale: [Why this pattern fits CODITECT architecture]

Example Implementation:

API Gateway Pattern

# coditect/integrations/technology/gateway.py
from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends
from coditect.auth import get_tenant_context

router = APIRouter(prefix="/api/v1/technology")

@router.post("/process")
async def process_data(
    data: dict,
    tenant_ctx = Depends(get_tenant_context)
):
    # Inject tenant context
    client = TechnologyClient(tenant_id=tenant_ctx.tenant_id)

    # Emit audit event
    await audit_log.emit("technology.process", tenant_ctx, data)

    # Call technology
    result = await client.process(data)

    # Apply policy (e.g., PII filtering)
    result = await policy_engine.filter(result, tenant_ctx)

    return result

Database Schema

CREATE TABLE technology_config (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT uuid_generate_v4(),
    tenant_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES tenants(id),
    config JSONB NOT NULL,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW(),
    updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW()
);

CREATE INDEX idx_technology_tenant ON technology_config(tenant_id);

-- Row-Level Security
ALTER TABLE technology_config ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
CREATE POLICY tenant_isolation ON technology_config
    USING (tenant_id = current_setting('app.current_tenant')::UUID);

Async Job Queue

# Worker task
@celery.task
def process_with_technology(tenant_id: str, data: dict):
    # Set tenant context
    set_tenant_context(tenant_id)

    # Process
    client = TechnologyClient(tenant_id=tenant_id)
    result = client.process(data)

    # Store result
    TechnologyResult.objects.create(
        tenant_id=tenant_id,
        data=result
    )

9. Decision Framework

Go / No-Go / Conditional Assessment

Criterion	Weight	Score	Notes
Multi-Tenant Isolation	🔴 Critical	[0-10]	[Gap or advantage]
Compliance Surface	🔴 Critical	[0-10]	[Audit, policy, e-sig]
Observability	🟡 Important	[0-10]	[Metrics, tracing]
Agent Orchestration Fit	🟡 Important	[0-10]	[Integration ease]
Performance at Scale	🟡 Important	[0-10]	[Benchmarks, tenant count]
License Compatibility	🔴 Critical	[0-10]	[AGPL = 0, MIT = 10]
Total Weighted Score		/60

Recommendation:

Go (score ≥50, all critical ≥7): Proceed with integration
Conditional (score 35-49 OR any critical <7): Proceed only if gaps addressed
No-Go (score <35 OR any critical =0): Do not integrate

Conditions for Conditional Go:

[Condition 1: e.g., "Implement tenant_id scoping layer before production"]
[Condition 2: e.g., "Obtain legal review for AGPL license implications"]

10. Next Steps

If Go/Conditional:

Create detailed Technical Design Document (TDD)
Prototype integration in dev environment
Load testing with 100+ tenants
Security review + penetration testing
Compliance review (SOC2 addendum)

If No-Go:

Document decision in ADR
Archive research artifacts
Identify alternative solutions

## Execution Guidelines

1. **CODITECT-Centric Perspective**: Every section must relate technology to CODITECT's architecture, not generic integration
2. **Explicit Gaps**: Use ❌ for blockers, ⚠️ for major gaps, ℹ️ for minor gaps — no diplomatic softening
3. **Quantitative Scoring**: Decision framework uses weighted scoring, not subjective "feels good"
4. **Integration Patterns**: Provide runnable code examples (Python/TypeScript), not pseudocode
5. **Compliance First**: Audit, policy, e-signature analysis is mandatory — this is a compliance platform
6. **Multi-Agent Focus**: Analyze how technology fits MoE orchestration, not just "can we call it"
7. **Read CODITECT Context**: Use Grep/Read to understand current multi-tenancy, compliance patterns before analyzing fit

## Quality Criteria

**High-quality impact analysis:**
- ✅ Every section references specific CODITECT components (not generic "backend")
- ✅ Gaps explicitly marked with ❌/⚠️/ℹ️ symbols
- ✅ Decision framework scoring justified with data
- ✅ Integration patterns include runnable code (not TODO comments)
- ✅ Compliance surface thoroughly analyzed (audit, policy, e-sig)
- ✅ Multi-agent orchestration fit evaluated (not skipped)
- ✅ Recommendation (Go/No-Go/Conditional) explicitly stated with rationale

**Failure indicators:**
- ❌ Generic integration advice (could apply to any platform)
- ❌ Gaps phrased diplomatically ("could be improved" instead of "❌ missing")
- ❌ No decision framework scoring
- ❌ Compliance section skipped or vague
- ❌ No code examples in integration patterns

## Error Handling

**When CODITECT context unavailable:**
- Use Grep to search for multi-tenancy patterns in codebase
- Read existing ADRs for compliance requirements
- If still missing, note in analysis: "⚠️ CODITECT context incomplete — review required"

**When research-context.json incomplete:**
- Explicitly note gaps: "❌ Technology compliance documentation not found — assume non-compliant"
- Do not fabricate data — mark as "unknown, requires vendor engagement"

**When integration patterns unclear:**
- Provide 2-3 alternative patterns with trade-offs
- Note: "Pattern selection requires prototype validation"
