## 🔧 Architecture

### Core Components

```
Intent Router
    ↓
    ├─→ Movies Connector (5 tools)
    ├─→ Flights Connector (5 tools)
    ├─→ Trains Connector (5 tools)
    └─→ Buses Connector (5 tools)
    ↓
State Store Service (conversation-scoped)
    ↓
Response Formatter Service (standardized JSON)
```

### The 5-Tool Pattern

Every domain exposes exactly 5 tools:

1. **search** — Find available items
2. **get_details** — Retrieve detailed information
3. **hold** — Reserve item (step 1 of 2-step confirm)
4. **confirm** — Execute booking (step 2 of 2-step confirm)
5. **cancel** — Refund and release

---

## 💡 Key Features

### ✅ 2-Step Confirmation
All bookings require a hold (step 1) followed by a confirm (step 2) to prevent accidental bookings.

```
User: "Book 2 tickets for The Matrix"
  ↓
Tool: hold_movie_tickets(movieId, quantity=2)
  ↓ Returns: "Ready to book 2 tickets for $31.98. Please confirm."
  ↓
User: "Confirm"
  ↓
Tool: confirm_movie_booking(idempotencyKey)
  ↓ Returns: "Booking confirmed! Confirmation: CONF_ABC12345"
```

### ✅ Idempotency Keys
Every `confirm_*_booking` tool accepts an idempotency key to prevent duplicate bookings on retries.

```typescript
// First call
confirm_train_booking(conversationId, idempotencyKey="idem_12345")
→ Returns: { confirmationId: "CONF_TRAIN001", ... }

// Retry with same key (safe — no duplicate charge)
confirm_train_booking(conversationId, idempotencyKey="idem_12345")
→ Returns: { confirmationId: "CONF_TRAIN001", ... } (same result)
```

### ✅ Conversation-Scoped State
Each conversation has its own state store, preventing interference between concurrent bookings.

### ✅ Intent Routing
The intent router automatically classifies queries and extracts relevant information (origin, destination, date, quantity).

```
Query: "Book 2 passengers on the 6 AM train from NYC to Boston"
→ Intent: hold, Domain: trains
→ Slots: { origin: "NYC", destination: "BOSTON", quantity: 2, date: "today" }
```

### ✅ Standardized Response Format
All tools return a consistent JSON shape:

```json
{
  "status": "success|pending|needs_input|error",
  "domain": "movies|flights|trains|buses",
  "confirmationId": "CONF_ABC12345",
  "message": "Human-readable summary",
  "data": { /* domain-specific payload */ }
}
```

## 📋 Example Workflows

### Workflow 1: Search → Hold → Confirm (Trains)

```
1. search_trains(origin="NYC", destination="Boston", date="2024-01-15")
   ↓ Returns: List of trains with prices and times

2. hold_train_seats(trainId="train_001", passengers=2)
   ↓ Returns: "Ready to book 2 passengers for $179.98. Please confirm."

3. confirm_train_booking(idempotencyKey="idem_12345")
   ↓ Returns: "Booking confirmed! Confirmation: CONF_TRAIN001"
```

### Workflow 2: Cancel Booking

```
1. cancel_train_booking(confirmationId="CONF_TRAIN001")
   ↓ Returns: "Booking canceled. 2 passengers refunded."
```

### Workflow 3: Get Details Before Booking

```
1. search_buses(origin="LAX", destination="San Francisco", date="2024-01-15")
   ↓ Returns: List of buses

2. get_bus_details(busId="bus_003")
   ↓ Returns: Full details including amenities, seat class, etc.

3. hold_bus_seats(busId="bus_003", passengers=3)
   ↓ Returns: Booking summary

4. confirm_bus_booking(idempotencyKey="idem_bus_001")
   ↓ Returns: Confirmation ID
```

## 🛠️ Adding a New Domain

### 3-Step Process

**Step 1:** Create connector class
```typescript
// src/modules/booking/hotels-connector.tools.ts
@Injectable({ deps: [StateStoreService, ResponseFormatterService] })
export class HotelsConnectorTools {
  @Tool({ name: 'search_hotels', ... })
  async searchHotels(...) { ... }
  
  // ... 4 more tools (get_details, hold, confirm, cancel)
}
```

**Step 2:** Register in module
```typescript
// src/modules/booking/booking.module.ts
import { HotelsConnectorTools } from './hotels-connector.tools.js';

@Module({
  controllers: [..., HotelsConnectorTools],
  providers: [StateStoreService, ResponseFormatterService],
})
export class BookingModule { }
```

**Step 3:** Update intent router
```typescript
// src/modules/booking/intent-router.tools.ts
if (query.includes('hotel') || query.includes('accommodation')) {
  domain = 'hotels';
}
```

**Done!** The new domain is now available with all 5 tools.

## 🎓 Key Concepts

### Thin-Wrapper Pattern
Each domain is a self-contained connector with 5 standard tools. No shared business logic between domains.

### 2-Step Confirmation
All bookings require a hold (step 1) followed by a confirm (step 2) to prevent accidental bookings.

### Conversation-Scoped State
Each conversation has its own state store, preventing interference between concurrent bookings.

### Idempotency
Confirmation tools use idempotency keys to ensure retries don't create duplicate bookings.

### Intent Routing
The router classifies queries and extracts relevant slots (origin, destination, date, quantity) automatically.
