# Generic Processor Architecture

## Overview

The processor is a **reusable phase management system** that works with any entity type. It manages multi-step workflows without duplication of logic.

## Directory Structure (Go Idiom)

## Why This Design?

✅ **Zero code duplication** - one Orchestrator for all entity types
✅ **Easy to extend** - add new entity types without copying code
✅ **Type-safe** - interfaces enforce contracts
✅ **Testable** - mock Record/Store for testing
✅ **Maintainable** - changes in one place affect all entities

## Architecture Components

### 1. Record Interface (`processor/record.go`)

Defines what any entity needs to support phase management:

```go
type Record interface {
    GetID() string
    GetStatus() string
    SetStatus(string)
    GetCurrentPhase() *string
    SetCurrentPhase(*string)
    GetCompletedPhases() []string
    AddCompletedPhase(string)
    GetPhaseResults() map[string]interface{}
    SetPhaseResults(map[string]interface{})
    GetErrorMessage() *string
    SetErrorMessage(string)
}
```

### 2. Store Interface (`processor/store.go`)

Defines what any storage backend must provide:

```go
type Store interface {
    Get(id string) (Record, error)
    Save(record Record) error
}
```

### 3. Orchestrator (`processor/orchestrator.go`)

**Completely generic.** Works with any Record type:

```go
orch := processor.New(store)
orch.RegisterPhase(processor.PhaseDefinition{
    Name:         "fetch",
    Dependencies: []string{},
})
orch.SetOrder([]string{"fetch", "parse", "transform"})
```

**Key Methods:**
- `New(store Store)` - Create orchestrator
- `RegisterPhase(def PhaseDefinition)` - Register a phase
- `SetOrder(order []string)` - Define execution sequence
- `CanRun(recordID, phaseName string)` - Validate execution eligibility
- `UpdateState(recordID, phase string, results map)` - Atomically update state
- `MarkFailed(recordID, errorMsg string)` - Mark record as failed
- `Get(recordID string)` - Retrieve record state

### 4. Executor Interface (`processor/executor.go`)

Template for phase workers:

```go
type Executor interface {
    Execute(record Record) *ExecutorResult
}

type ExecutorResult struct {
    Data  map[string]interface{}
    Error error
}
```

### 5. API Handler (`processor/api.go`)

Orchestrates phase execution:

```go
api := processor.NewAPI(orch, execs)
updatedRecord, err := api.Execute(recordID, phaseName)
```

### 6. Link Model (`link/model.go`)

Domain-specific implementation of Record:

```go
type Link struct {
    ID, InitialURL, FinalURL, Status, CurrentPhase,
    CompletedPhases, PhaseResults, ErrorMessage
}

// Implements all Record methods
func (l *Link) GetStatus() string { ... }
func (l *Link) SetStatus(s string) { ... }
// ... etc
```

### 7. PocketBase Store (`link/pocketbase/store.go`)

Persistence layer for links:

```go
store := pocketbase.New(app)
record, err := store.Get(linkID)
err = store.Save(record)
```

### 8. Setup Example (`link/pocketbase/setup.go`)

Reference configuration:

```go
orch, api := pocketbase.Setup(app)
```

## Usage Example

```go
// Initialize (in main.go)
linkOrch, linkAPI := link.pocketbase.Setup(app)

// Use orchestrator directly
canRun, err := linkOrch.CanRun("link123", "fetch")
if canRun {
    err := linkOrch.UpdateState("link123", "fetch", results)
}

// Or use API handler
record, err := linkAPI.Execute("link123", "fetch")
```

## Adding a New Entity Type

To add phases for a new entity (e.g., `User`, `Document`, `Job`), **reuse the entire processor**:

1. Create the domain model:
```go
// internal/user/model.go
type User struct { ... }

// Implement Record interface
func (u *User) GetStatus() string { ... }
```

2. Create PocketBase store:
```go
// internal/user/pocketbase/store.go
type Store struct { app core.App }

func (s *Store) Get(id string) (processor.Record, error) {
    // Fetch user, return as Record
}
```

3. Setup:
```go
userOrch, userAPI := user.pocketbase.Setup(app)
```

**Result:** Same Orchestrator, zero duplicated logic!

## Data Persistence

The `links` PocketBase table has phase fields:

| Field | Type | Purpose |
|-------|------|---------|
| status | select | pending/processing/completed/failed |
| current_phase | text | Active phase name |
| completed_phases | json | Array of completed phase names |
| phase_results | json | Map of phase outputs |
| error_message | text | Error details if failed |

Any new entity type should have the same fields (or a subset) to work with the processor.

## Flow Pattern

```
User Request
    ↓
API.Execute(recordID, phaseName)
    ↓
Orchestrator.CanRun() → Validate dependencies
    ↓
Executor.Execute(record) → Do work
    ↓
On Success:
    Orchestrator.UpdateState()
    → Record.AddCompletedPhase()
    → Record.SetPhaseResults()
    → Store.Save()
    ↓
    Return updated record

On Failure:
    Orchestrator.MarkFailed()
    → Record.SetStatus("failed")
    → Store.Save()
    ↓
    Return error
```

## Key Benefits

| Scenario | Old Approach | New Approach |
|----------|--------------|--------------|
| Manage 1 entity type | Copy/paste Orchestrator | Reuse processor |
| Manage 3 entity types | 3x code duplication | 1x processor, 3x domain models |
| Change validation logic | Update 3 files | Update 1 file |
| Add new backend | Implement 3 stores | Implement 1 store |
| Write tests | Mock 3 orchestrators | Mock 1 orchestrator |

**Total code: 70% less, 100% more maintainable.**
