--- document: Task Specification - Hybrid Fallback System version: 1.0.0 status: active author: Claude Code created: 2025-06-28 last_updated: 2025-06-28 --- # TASK-002: Hybrid Fallback System Implementation ## šŸ“‹ Task Overview **Task ID**: TASK-002 **Title**: Hybrid Fallback System Implementation **Status**: pending **Owner**: Claude Desktop **Priority**: high **Dependencies**: TASK-001 (completed) **Created**: 2025-06-28 13:52 EST **Updated**: 2025-06-28 13:52 EST ## šŸŽÆ Objective Implement a hybrid system that attempts HTTP API calls first, then gracefully falls back to browser automation when API endpoints return 500 errors or are unavailable. ## šŸ“Š Current Context ### Completed Prerequisites - āœ… HTTP API client implementation complete (`/src/api-client.ts`) - āœ… Composition manager with widget creation ready (`/src/composition-manager.ts`) - āœ… MCP server tools updated for API usage (`/src/index-api.ts`) - āœ… Browser automation implementation available (`/src/lib/composition-lifecycle.ts`) ### Identified Issues - āŒ Storage API endpoints return 500 Internal Server Error - āŒ All API operations currently fail despite valid JWT authentication - āœ… Browser automation confirmed working in previous sessions ## šŸ—ļø 4-Phase Execution Plan ### Phase 1: Understand Scope, Plan Implementation, Define Deliverables #### Scope Analysis ``` Hybrid System Components: ā”œā”€ā”€ Health Check Service │ ā”œā”€ā”€ API endpoint availability monitoring │ ā”œā”€ā”€ Response time measurement │ └── Error rate tracking ā”œā”€ā”€ Fallback Strategy Manager │ ā”œā”€ā”€ Decision logic (API vs Browser) │ ā”œā”€ā”€ Retry mechanisms │ └── Performance tracking ā”œā”€ā”€ Unified Interface │ ā”œā”€ā”€ Single entry point for operations │ ā”œā”€ā”€ Transparent fallback switching │ └── Consistent response format └── Configuration Management ā”œā”€ā”€ Fallback preferences ā”œā”€ā”€ Timeout settings └── Retry policies ``` #### Implementation Plan ``` 1. Create Health Check Service - Monitor API endpoints (/storage/v1.0/*) - Track success/failure rates - Implement circuit breaker pattern 2. Develop Fallback Strategy Manager - Decision matrix: API availability vs operation type - Graceful degradation policies - Performance metrics collection 3. Build Unified Interface - Single composition service entry point - Automatic fallback detection - Consistent error handling 4. Update MCP Server Integration - Replace direct API calls with hybrid service - Maintain existing tool interfaces - Add fallback status reporting ``` #### Deliverables ``` Primary Artifacts: ā”œā”€ā”€ /src/services/health-check.ts ā”œā”€ā”€ /src/services/fallback-strategy.ts ā”œā”€ā”€ /src/services/hybrid-composition.ts ā”œā”€ā”€ /src/index-hybrid.ts (Updated MCP server) ā”œā”€ā”€ /tests/hybrid-system.test.js └── /docs/analysis/hybrid-architecture.md Configuration: ā”œā”€ā”€ /config/fallback-policy.json └── /config/health-check.json Documentation: ā”œā”€ā”€ /docs/guides/hybrid-usage.md └── /docs/analysis/fallback-performance.md ``` **STOP AND WAIT** - Do not proceed to implementation **DO NOT** update knowledge graph **PAUSE** for explicit next-phase instructions ### Phase 2: Implementation #### Step 1: Create Artifacts ``` Implementation Order: 1. Health Check Service (/src/services/health-check.ts) - API endpoint monitoring - Circuit breaker implementation - Performance metrics 2. Fallback Strategy Manager (/src/services/fallback-strategy.ts) - Decision logic implementation - Retry mechanisms - Error classification 3. Hybrid Composition Service (/src/services/hybrid-composition.ts) - Unified interface - Automatic fallback - Response normalization 4. Updated MCP Server (/src/index-hybrid.ts) - Integration with hybrid service - Tool method updates - Status reporting 5. Test Suite (/tests/hybrid-system.test.js) - API failure simulation - Fallback validation - Performance testing ``` #### Step 2: Validate ``` Testing Protocol: 1. API Availability Testing - Simulate 500 errors - Test network timeouts - Validate circuit breaker 2. Fallback Validation - Confirm browser automation triggers - Test seamless switching - Verify response consistency 3. Performance Benchmarking - Measure fallback time - Track success rates - Monitor resource usage 4. Integration Testing - MCP server compatibility - Tool interface validation - End-to-end workflows ``` **STOP AND WAIT** - Do not proceed to Phase 3 **DO NOT** update knowledge graph **PAUSE** for explicit next-phase instructions ### Phase 3: Documentation #### Step 1: Knowledge Graph Updates ``` Entities to Create: ā”œā”€ā”€ Hybrid Fallback System Entity ā”œā”€ā”€ Health Check Service Entity ā”œā”€ā”€ Fallback Strategy Entity └── Performance Metrics Entity Relations to Establish: ā”œā”€ā”€ System → Uses → Health Check ā”œā”€ā”€ System → Implements → Fallback Strategy ā”œā”€ā”€ MCP Server → Integrates → Hybrid System └── API Client → Falls Back To → Browser Automation ``` #### Step 2: Progress Tracking ``` Documentation Updates: ā”œā”€ā”€ /docs/progress/2025-06-28.md (update completion) ā”œā”€ā”€ /docs/architecture/hybrid-system.md (new) ā”œā”€ā”€ /docs/guides/troubleshooting.md (update) └── README.md (update features section) Status Updates: ā”œā”€ā”€ Mark TASK-002 as COMPLETED ā”œā”€ā”€ Document created files ā”œā”€ā”€ Update deployment checklist └── Synchronize all documentation ``` **STOP AND WAIT** - Do not proceed to Phase 4 **DO NOT** update knowledge graph **PAUSE** for explicit next-phase instructions ### Phase 4: Thorough Verification #### Validation Protocol ``` 1. Implementation Completeness Check ā”œā”€ā”€ Verify all deliverables created ā”œā”€ā”€ Check all deliverables tested └── Validate artifact functionality 2. System Validation ā”œā”€ā”€ Test against existing codebase ā”œā”€ā”€ Validate MCP server compatibility └── Confirm fallback reliability 3. Documentation Validation ā”œā”€ā”€ Verify versioning headers ā”œā”€ā”€ Check documentation completeness └── Validate cross-references ``` #### Verification Checklist ``` Per Task Verification: ā–” Health Check Service implemented and tested ā–” Fallback Strategy Manager functional ā–” Hybrid Composition Service operational ā–” MCP Server integration complete ā–” Test suite passes all scenarios ā–” Documentation complete and versioned ā–” Performance benchmarks recorded ā–” Fallback reliability confirmed ``` ## šŸ”— Related Files ### Dependencies - `/src/api-client.ts` - HTTP API implementation - `/src/composition-manager.ts` - Composition operations - `/src/lib/composition-lifecycle.ts` - Browser automation - `/correct-jwt-new.txt` - Authentication token ### Analysis References - `/docs/analysis/api-investigation.md` - API server issues - `/docs/csharp_interface_api/` - Interface specifications - `/test-api-*.js` - API testing results ## šŸ“ˆ Success Criteria ### Primary Goals 1. **Seamless Fallback**: Automatic switch from API to browser automation 2. **Reliability**: >99% operation success rate regardless of API status 3. **Performance**: <2 second fallback detection and switching 4. **Transparency**: Consistent interface for MCP tools ### Secondary Goals 1. **Monitoring**: Real-time health status visibility 2. **Configuration**: Adjustable fallback policies 3. **Metrics**: Performance and reliability tracking 4. **Documentation**: Complete usage and troubleshooting guides --- **Note**: This task ensures the MCP server remains functional regardless of API server availability, providing robust and reliable composition management capabilities.
