# API Interception Visualization Fix - Technical Analysis Report
**Document ID**: ANALYSIS-VIZ-FIX-001
**Created**: 2025-07-03
**Version**: 1.0.0
**Analyst**: Claude Desktop
**Status**: Implementation Ready
---
## 🎯 Executive Summary
This technical analysis provides the complete foundation for implementing API interception to solve the composition visualization issue in the EuConquisto Composer MCP. The analysis is based on comprehensive console log investigation and identifies the exact technical solution required.
## 🔍 Problem Analysis
### **Current Issue**
- **Symptom**: Compositions save successfully but don't render in browser interface
- **User Experience**: Blank composition view after automated workflow completion
- **Technical Impact**: 100% automation works, but users cannot see created content
- **Business Impact**: System appears broken despite successful backend operations
### **Root Cause Investigation**
**Console Log Analysis Reveals**:
1. **Loading Mechanism**: Composer uses hash-based routing, not localStorage reading
2. **API-Driven Flow**: Content loads via `GET /storage/v1.0/content?uid=[ID]` requests
3. **React State Updates**: UI updates based on API responses, not localStorage changes
4. **Current Bypass**: localStorage injection circumvents entire loading pipeline
**Key Evidence from Logs**:
```
🔗 HASH CHANGE: #/embed/ -> #/embed/composer/H4sI...
🌐 XHR REQUEST: GET /storage/v1.0/content?uid=H4sI...
📦 localStorage.getItem: rdp-composer-user-data (but NOT rdp-composer-data)
```
## 🏗️ Technical Architecture Analysis
### **Composer Loading Flow (Discovered)**
```
1. Hash Change Event → URL: #/embed/composer/[ENCODED_ID]
2. React Router → Triggers component loading
3. API Request → GET /storage/v1.0/content?uid=[ID]
4. Data Response → JSON composition data
5. State Update → React setState with composition
6. Render → UI displays composition elements
```
### **Current Injection Flow (Broken)**
```
1. localStorage.setItem('rdp-composer-data', composition) ✅
2. Browser automation completes ✅
3. User navigates to composition ❌ (No UI update)
4. Composer ignores localStorage ❌ (Reads from API)
5. Empty composition displayed ❌ (No data source)
```
### **Required Fix Flow (Solution)**
```
1. API Interception Setup → Override fetch function
2. localStorage injection → Store composition data
3. Automatic navigation → Trigger hash-based loading
4. Intercepted API call → Return injected data instead
5. Normal React flow → setState and render composition
```
## 🛠️ Implementation Specification
### **File Target**
- **Primary**: `/dist/browser-automation-capture-v2.6.0.js`
- **Function**: `executeWorkflow(page, compositionData)`
- **Insertion Point**: Before Step 6 (hamburger menu automation)
### **Core Implementation Components**
#### **1. API Interception Setup**
```javascript
await page.evaluate((data) => {
// Store composition for interception
window._injectedComposition = data;
// Override fetch function
const originalFetch = window.fetch;
window.fetch = function(url, options) {
// Check for composition content request
if (url.includes('/storage/v1.0/content?uid=') && !url.includes('/versions/')) {
console.log('🎯 API INTERCEPTED: Returning injected composition');
// Return our composition as if from API
return Promise.resolve(new Response(JSON.stringify({
status: 'success',
data: window._injectedComposition
}), {
status: 200,
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
}));
}
// Pass through all other requests
return originalFetch.apply(this, arguments);
};
console.log('✅ API interception setup complete');
}, compositionData);
```
#### **2. Composition ID Extraction**
```javascript
// Extract composition ID from saved composition or generate
const compositionId = await page.evaluate(() => {
// Try to get from current URL hash
const hashMatch = window.location.hash.match(/composer\/([^?]+)/);
if (hashMatch) return hashMatch[1];
// Generate fallback ID
return 'composition-' + Date.now();
});
```
#### **3. Navigation Trigger**
```javascript
// Navigate to trigger the hash-based loading
const compositionUrl = `http://localhost:8080/composer#/embed/composer/${compositionId}`;
console.log(`[API-FIX] Navigating to: ${compositionUrl}`);
await page.goto(compositionUrl, { waitUntil: 'networkidle' });
await page.waitForTimeout(3000); // Allow rendering time
```
#### **4. Success Validation**
```javascript
// Verify composition is visible
const elementsVisible = await page.evaluate(() => {
const elements = document.querySelectorAll('[data-element-type]');
return elements.length > 0;
});
if (elementsVisible) {
console.log('✅ Composition elements rendered successfully');
} else {
console.log('⚠️ Composition may not be fully rendered');
}
```
### **Integration Points**
#### **Step Sequence Update**
```javascript
async executeWorkflow(page, compositionData) {
try {
// Steps 1-5: Existing authentication and setup (PRESERVE)
// NEW Step 6: API Interception Setup
console.log('[API-FIX] Step 6: Setup API Interception');
await this.setupAPIInterception(page, compositionData);
// Steps 7-8: Existing save workflow (PRESERVE)
console.log('[API-FIX] Step 7: Execute Save Workflow');
await this.executeSaveWorkflow(page);
// NEW Step 9: Navigation Trigger
console.log('[API-FIX] Step 8: Trigger Composition Loading');
const compositionUrl = await this.triggerCompositionLoading(page);
// NEW Step 10: Validation
console.log('[API-FIX] Step 9: Validate Rendering');
const renderSuccess = await this.validateRendering(page);
return this.generateSuccessResponse(compositionUrl, renderSuccess);
} catch (error) {
console.error('[API-FIX] Workflow failed:', error);
return this.generateErrorResponse(error);
}
}
```
## 🧪 Testing Strategy
### **Validation Points**
1. **API Interception**: Console log shows "API INTERCEPTED" message
2. **Hash Navigation**: URL changes to include composition ID
3. **Element Rendering**: DOM contains composition elements
4. **Visual Confirmation**: User can see composition in browser
### **Test Scenarios**
```javascript
// Test Case 1: Simple Composition
const testComposition = {
composition: {
elements: [
{ type: "head-1", content_title: "Test" },
{ type: "text-1", text: "Content" }
]
}
};
// Test Case 2: Complex Composition (Current v3.0.0)
const complexComposition = {
composition: {
elements: [
{ type: "head-1" },
{ type: "text-1" },
{ type: "image-1" },
{ type: "video-1" },
{ type: "flashcards-1" },
{ type: "quiz-1" }
]
}
};
```
### **Success Metrics**
- **API Interception Rate**: 100% (all requests intercepted)
- **Rendering Success**: Visual elements appear in browser
- **Workflow Time**: <45 seconds total (including visualization)
- **Element Count**: All injected elements visible
