Major Improvements Since Last Report

1. WebHookOutboundProcessor - Complete HTTP Support ✅

Location: krill-sdk/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/krillapp/executor/webhook/WebHookOutboundProcessor.kt

All HTTP methods are now fully implemented:

  
when (meta.method) {
    HttpMethod.GET -> executeGet(url, meta, node)
    HttpMethod.POST -> executePost(url, meta, node)
    HttpMethod.PUT -> executePut(url, meta, node)
    HttpMethod.DELETE -> executeDelete(url, meta, node)
    HttpMethod.PATCH -> executePatch(url, meta, node)
}

Key Features:

✅ Request body from source node (JSON-encoded)
✅ Custom headers support
✅ Query parameter building
✅ Response body written to target DataPoint
✅ Proper error handling with logging

Status: ✅ EXCELLENT - Feature complete

2. Lambda Python Executor - Sandboxing ✅

Location: server/src/main/kotlin/krill/zone/krillapp/executor/lambda/LambdaPythonExecutor.kt

Comprehensive sandboxing with multiple backends:

  
enum class SandboxType {
    FIREJAIL,
    DOCKER,
    NONE
}

Security Features Implemented:

✅ Path traversal protection (canonical path validation)
✅ Firejail sandboxing with filesystem isolation
✅ Docker sandboxing with memory limits
✅ Read-only mount of lambda scripts
✅ Network restriction option
✅ Memory limits (256MB default)
✅ CPU time limits via timeout

Firejail Command Example:

  
listOf(
    "firejail", "--quiet", "--noprofile",
    "--whitelist=${sandboxConfig.allowedPath}",
    "--read-only=${sandboxConfig.allowedPath}",
    "--private", "--private-tmp",
    "--rlimit-as=${sandboxConfig.memoryLimitMb * BYTES_PER_MB}",
    "--timeout=${TIMEOUT_SECONDS}:${TIMEOUT_SECONDS}",
    // optionally: "--net=none"
)

Status: ✅ EXCELLENT - Security significantly improved (+9 points)

3. ClientScreen Performance Documentation ✅

Location: composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/krillapp/client/ClientScreen.kt

Excellent inline documentation explaining architectural decisions:

  
// ⚠️ DO NOT "optimize" with LazyColumn/LazyRow/LazyVerticalGrid
// Why forEach + key() is correct here:
// 1. Nodes must be positioned at arbitrary (x, y) coordinates via Modifier.offset()
// 2. LazyColumn forces vertical list layout and ignores offset positioning
// 3. Node count is naturally limited by UI/UX design (filtering, drill-down navigation)
// 4. Typical usage: 5-20 nodes visible at once, max ~50 in extreme cases
// 5. Performance is already optimized via debouncing and produceState

Status: ✅ EXCELLENT - Self-documenting architecture decisions

Deep Dive: NodeFlow and StateFlow Patterns

        PS --> COLL[nodeFlow.node.collect]
        COLL --> VAL[value = node]
    end
    
    style NFS fill:#90EE90
    style MSF fill:#90EE90
    style PS fill:#FFFACD

Current Pattern Analysis

Location: ClientScreen.kt:369-381

  
val nodeState = produceState<Node?>(initialValue = null, key1 = nodeId) {
    when (val nodeFlow = nodeManager.readNode(nodeId)) {
        is NodeFlow.Success -> {
            nodeFlow.node.collect { node ->
                value = node
            }
        }
        is NodeFlow.Error -> {
            value = null
        }
    }
}

Observations:

✅ Works correctly - creates reactive connection to node state
✅ Properly keyed to nodeId - recomposes when node changes
⚠️ Creates snapshot copy rather than using StateFlow directly
⚠️ Missing distinctUntilChanged() - could emit duplicate values

NodeFlow Optimization Opportunities

Option 1: Direct StateFlow Access (Recommended for Simple Cases)

  
// Instead of produceState, directly use the StateFlow
@Composable
fun NodeItem(nodeId: String) {
    val nodeFlow = remember(nodeId) { 
        nodeManager.readNode(nodeId) 
    }
    
    when (nodeFlow) {
        is NodeFlow.Success -> {
            val node by nodeFlow.node.collectAsState()
            // Use node directly
        }
        is NodeFlow.Error -> { /* Handle error */ }
    }
}

Benefits:

No intermediate snapshot
Direct StateFlow semantics
Automatic recomposition on change

Trade-offs:

readNode() is suspend - needs to be called in produceState or LaunchedEffect

Option 2: Add distinctUntilChanged (Quick Win)

  
val nodeState = produceState<Node?>(initialValue = null, key1 = nodeId) {
    when (val nodeFlow = nodeManager.readNode(nodeId)) {
        is NodeFlow.Success -> {
            nodeFlow.node
                .distinctUntilChanged() // ✅ Prevent duplicate emissions
                .collect { node ->
                    value = node
                }
        }
        is NodeFlow.Error -> { value = null }
    }
}

Option 3: Cached StateFlow Access (Best for Performance)

  
// In NodeManager or a ViewModel layer
fun nodeStateFlow(id: String): StateFlow<Node?> {
    return when (val flow = nodes[id]) {
        is NodeFlow.Success -> flow.node.map { it as Node? }
        else -> MutableStateFlow(null)
    }.stateIn(scope, SharingStarted.Lazily, null)
}

StateFlow Collection Safety - Already Excellent ✅

NodeObserver.kt - Properly Protected:

  
override suspend fun observe(flow: NodeFlow.Success) {
    mutex.withLock {
        if (!jobs.containsKey(flow.node.value.id)) {
            // Built-in multiple-observer detection
            if (flow.node.subscriptionCount.value > 1) {
                logger.e("node has multiple observers - probably a bug")
            } else {
                jobs[n.value.id] = scope.launch {
                    flow.node.collect(collector)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

ClientScreen.kt - Debounced Swarm:

  
val debouncedSwarm = remember {
    nodeManager.swarm
        .debounce(16) // One frame at 60fps
        .stateIn(scope, SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed(), emptySet())
}

Agent-Ready Task List

Priority 1: Add distinctUntilChanged to NodeFlow Collection (Quick Win)

Agent Prompt:

Add distinctUntilChanged() to the NodeFlow collection in ClientScreen.kt
to prevent duplicate node emissions from triggering unnecessary recompositions.

Touch points:
- composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/krillapp/client/ClientScreen.kt

Acceptance criteria:
1. Add .distinctUntilChanged() before .collect() in RenderActiveNodes produceState
2. Add .distinctUntilChanged() before .collect() in RenderRemovingNodes produceState
3. Verify no behavioral changes - nodes should still update correctly
4. Test with rapid node updates to confirm deduplication works

Priority 2: Refactor Single Composable to Use StateFlow Directly (Small)

Agent Prompt:

Refactor a single NodeItem composable to demonstrate direct StateFlow
collection instead of produceState snapshot pattern.

Touch points:
- composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/krillapp/client/ClientScreen.kt

Steps:
1. Create a helper function in NodeManager: `fun nodeStateFlow(id: String): StateFlow<Node?>`
2. Refactor ONE NodeItem usage to use collectAsState() on the returned StateFlow
3. Document the performance difference (if measurable)
4. Keep the produceState pattern as fallback for complex cases

Acceptance criteria:
1. Single composable refactored
2. No breaking changes
3. Performance comparison documented

Priority 3: iOS CalculationProcessor Implementation

Agent Prompt:

Implement CalculationProcessor for iOS platform using pure Kotlin math 
parsing (no native interop required).

Touch points:
- krill-sdk/src/iosMain/kotlin/krill/zone/krillapp/executor/calculation/CalculationProcessor.ios.kt
- krill-sdk/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/krillapp/executor/calculation/CalculationProcessor.kt

Acceptance criteria:
1. Support basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /)
2. Support parentheses for grouping
3. Support common math functions (sin, cos, sqrt, abs, min, max)
4. Handle errors gracefully (return empty string or error message)
5. Match JVM CalculationProcessor behavior for basic expressions
6. Add unit tests for common expressions

Priority 4: Add Unit Tests for ServerNodeManager Actor

Agent Prompt:

Add unit tests for the ServerNodeManager actor pattern to verify
thread safety and ordering guarantees.

Touch points:
- krill-sdk/src/commonTest/kotlin/krill/zone/node/ServerNodeManagerTest.kt (new file)

Acceptance criteria:
1. Test concurrent update() calls complete without exception
2. Test FIFO ordering is maintained
3. Test duplicate detection works correctly
4. Test delete() removes node and updates swarm
5. Test shutdown() closes channel and cancels actor job
6. Use runTest and TestCoroutineScope for coroutine testing

Priority 5: Add HTTP Timeout to ServerHandshakeProcess

Agent Prompt:

Add configurable HTTP timeout to ServerHandshakeProcess to prevent
long-running handshake attempts from blocking.

Touch points:
- krill-sdk/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/krillapp/client/ServerHandshakeProcess.kt
- krill-sdk/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/io/HttpClient.kt (if needed)

Acceptance criteria:
1. Add timeout configuration (default 30 seconds)
2. Apply timeout to trust endpoint request
3. Apply timeout to nodes download request
4. Handle timeout exception gracefully with logging
5. Cancel job on timeout
6. No breaking changes to existing behavior
