11. Code Duplication and Inconsistent Patterns
Problem: Extensive code duplication across v1.1.0 tools with inconsistent implementation patterns.
Evidence:
// IDENTICAL validation patterns across ALL v1.1.0 tools:
// get-smart-guidance-v1.1.0.js
async processGuidanceRequest(input) {
this.processingStartTime = new Date();
this.validationErrors = [];
try {
console.error('[SMART_GUIDANCE_V110] Starting fail-fast validation');
const validationResult = this.validateInputComprehensively(input);
if (!validationResult.valid) {
throw new Error(`Smart Guidance validation failed:\n\n${validationResult.errors.join('\n\n')}`);
}
// analyze-content-for-widgets-v1.1.0.js
async analyzeContent(input) {
this.processingStartTime = new Date();
this.validationErrors = [];
try {
const validationResult = this.validateAndNormalizeInput(input);
if (!validationResult.valid) {
throw new Error(`Content validation failed:\n${validationResult.errors.join('\n')}`);
}
// validate-lesson-data-v1.1.0.js
async validateLessonData(input) {
this.processingStartTime = Date.now();
this.validationErrors = [];
try {
console.error('[VALIDATE_LESSON_DATA_V110] Starting fail-fast validation');
const validationResult = this.validateLessonDataComprehensively(input);
if (!validationResult.valid) {
throw new Error(`Lesson Data validation failed:\n\n${validationResult.errors.join('\n\n')}`);
}
Issues:
Identical Boilerplate: Every tool has the same initialization, timing, and error handling code
Inconsistent Naming: validateInputComprehensively vs validateAndNormalizeInput vs validateLessonDataComprehensively
Duplicated Error Formatting: Same error message formatting logic repeated 7 times
Mixed Timing APIs: Some use new Date(), others use Date.now()
12. Architectural Version Schizophrenia
Problem: The system simultaneously implements multiple architectural versions creating confusion and maintenance nightmares.
Evidence:
// v1.1.0 tools in src/tools/ directory
src/tools/get-smart-guidance-v1.1.0.js
src/tools/analyze-content-for-widgets-v1.1.0.js
src/tools/validate-lesson-data-v1.1.0.js
// But also v5.2.0 tools in same directory
src/tools/save-composition-api.js // Claims to be v5.2.0
src/tools/get-smart-guidance.js // Non-versioned
// Main server imports v1.1.0 tools but references v5.2.0 patterns
import { createSmartGuidanceToolV110 } from '../src/tools/get-smart-guidance-v1.1.0.js';
// But also has references to v5.2.0 architecture in comments
Impact: Impossible to determine which architectural patterns to follow for new development.
13. Fail-Fast Anti-Pattern Implementation
Problem: "Fail-fast" is implemented as an anti-pattern that actually makes debugging harder.
Evidence:
// Every v1.1.0 tool throws massive error strings
throw new Error(`Smart Guidance validation failed:\n\n${validationResult.errors.join('\n\n')}\n\nReceived input: ${JSON.stringify(input, null, 2)}`);
// Error responses are inconsistent across tools
return {
success: false,
error: {
code: 'SMART_GUIDANCE_VALIDATION_FAILED', // Different codes per tool
message: error.message,
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
processingTime: Date.now() - this.processingStartTime.getTime(),
failFast: true,
developmentMode: true,
troubleshooting: { /* Massive objects */ }
}
};
Issues:
Verbose Error Messages: Errors are so verbose they're hard to parse
Inconsistent Error Codes: Each tool uses different error code patterns
No Error Hierarchy: All errors treated as fatal, no graceful degradation
Debug Information Overload: Too much information makes actual problems hard to find
14. Direct API Client Architecture Mismatch
Problem: The direct-api-client.js implements a completely different architectural pattern than the rest of the system.
Evidence:
// direct-api-client.js uses traditional class-based approach
export class DirectAPIClient {
constructor(config = null) {
this.config = DirectAPIConfig;
this.apiLog = [];
}
async validateConnection() {
// Traditional promise-based approach
}
}
// While v1.1.0 tools use factory pattern
export class SmartGuidanceToolV110 {
constructor() {
// Different initialization pattern
}
}
export function createSmartGuidanceToolV110() {
return new SmartGuidanceToolV110();
}
Issues:
Inconsistent Instantiation: Some tools use factories, others use direct instantiation
Different Error Handling: Direct API client uses different error patterns
Configuration Mismatch: Different configuration loading mechanisms
No Shared Interfaces: No common contracts between API client and tools
15. Browser Automation Architecture Inconsistency
Problem: Browser automation is inconsistently integrated across tools.
Evidence:
// open-composition-editor-v1.1.0.js has browser logic
async launchBrowserStrict() {
// Browser launching logic embedded in tool
}
// But save-composition-api.js also has browser references
async saveCompositionAPI(composerJSON, page) {
// Expects page parameter but is supposed to be "direct API"
}
// While direct-api-client.js avoids browser entirely
async saveComposition(compositionData, title = 'Direct API Composition') {
// Pure API approach
}
Issues:
Mixed Responsibilities: Some tools handle browser automation, others don't
Inconsistent Interfaces: Some tools expect page parameter, others don't
No Clear Separation: Browser concerns mixed with business logic
Architecture Confusion: "Direct API" tools still reference browser automation
16. Configuration Architecture Fragmentation
Problem: Configuration management is fragmented across multiple incompatible systems.
Evidence:
// DirectAPIConfig in direct-api-config.js
export const DirectAPIConfig = {
baseURL: 'https://api.digitalpages.com.br',
projectKey: 'e3894d14dbb743d78a7efc5819edc52e',
loadFromEnvironment() { /* Environment loading */ }
};
// JWTManager in jwt-manager.js
export class JWTManager {
constructor() {
this.tokenPath = join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'config', 'jwt-token.txt');
}
};
// But tools also have embedded configuration
class SmartGuidanceToolV110 {
constructor() {
this.gradeConfigurations = this.initializeGradeConfigurations(); // Hard-coded
this.subjectProfiles = this.initializeSubjectProfiles(); // Hard-coded
}
}
Issues:
Multiple Configuration Sources: Environment variables, files, and hard-coded values
No Configuration Validation: Different validation approaches across components
Inconsistent Loading: Some components load config in constructor, others externally
No Configuration Schema: No unified schema for all configuration options
17. Testing Architecture Impossibility
Problem: The current architecture makes comprehensive testing nearly impossible.
Evidence:
// Tools are tightly coupled to external dependencies
class ComposerFormatterV110 {
async formatForComposer(validatedLessonData) {
// Direct calls to external services embedded in business logic
const composition = this.createComposerStructure(metadata);
// No way to mock or substitute dependencies
}
}
// No dependency injection means no test doubles
class DirectAPIClient {
constructor(config = null) {
this.config = DirectAPIConfig; // Hard-coded dependency
// Cannot substitute for testing
}
}
Issues:
No Mockable Interfaces: All dependencies are hard-coded
External Service Coupling: Tests require real API connections
No Test Isolation: Cannot test individual components separately
Integration Testing Only: No way to unit test business logic
