🔍 Critical Files to Review

Must Read First

  1. BLACKROAD_OS_REPO_MAP.md - Complete system overview
  2. PR_BODY.md - Full PR description with testing instructions
  3. codex-docs/docs/components.md - How all modules integrate

Architecture Documents

  1. codex-docs/docs/architecture.md - 7-layer architecture
  2. codex-docs/docs/infra.md - Infrastructure setup

Module READMEs (Quick Reference)

  1. core_os/README.md - Core OS usage
  2. operator_engine/README.md - Operator usage
  3. prism-console/README.md - Prism usage
  4. web-client/README.md - Web client integration

Blocking Questions (Please Clarify)

1. Frontend Stack Confirmation

  • Current: Vanilla JavaScript (zero dependencies)
  • Question: Keep as-is or migrate to React/Vue/Svelte?
  • Recommendation: Keep vanilla for Phase 2, consider framework in Phase 3

2. Deployment Targets

  • Backend: Railway (confirmed)
  • Frontend: Served by backend at / (confirmed)
  • Prism: Standalone or backend route?
    • Option A: Serve from backend at /prism (recommended)
    • Option B: Deploy separately on Vercel/Netlify
  • Docs: GitHub Pages or separate hosting?
    • Recommendation: GitHub Pages with mkdocs gh-deploy

3. Environment Variable Naming

  • Current: Using APP_NAME, APP_VERSION, ENVIRONMENT
  • Question: Any preferred naming convention?
  • Recommendation: Current naming is clear and consistent

4. Separate Repos vs Monorepo

  • Current: Monorepo (all modules in one repo)
  • Question: Extract modules to separate repos now or later?
  • Recommendation: Keep monorepo for Phase 2, extract in Phase 3 if needed

🎓 What You Should Know

The System Now Has 3 Layers of State

  1. Frontend State (JavaScript)

    • Managed by CoreOSClient
    • Cached in browser
    • Synced via API calls
  2. Backend State (FastAPI)

    • Exposed via /api/system/os/state
    • Currently returns stub data
    • Ready to integrate with Core OS
  3. Core OS State (Python)

    • Managed by core_os module
    • In-memory for now
    • Future: Redis/PostgreSQL persistence

Request Flow Example

User clicks desktop icon in Pocket OS
    ↓
JavaScript: window.coreOS.openWindow("notepad")
    ↓
HTTP: POST /api/system/windows (future endpoint)
    ↓
Backend: routes to core_os.open_window()
    ↓
Core OS: updates OSState, adds Window object
    ↓
Backend: returns updated state as JSON
    ↓
JavaScript: renders new window in UI

Job Execution Flow

Prism Console: User clicks "Execute Job"
    ↓
HTTP: POST /api/operator/jobs/{job_id}/execute (future)
    ↓
Backend: routes to operator_engine.execute_job()
    ↓
Operator: runs job, updates status
    ↓
Backend: returns job result
    ↓
Prism: displays job status
